Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I have suffered from severe post nasal drip since 2008. I do not understand why. I went to an allergist but that did not seem to help. It drips so bad that it is collecting in my throat and cuts off my airway. It seems to be getting worse since I started my allergy shots.
I am desperate to find something that will stop the post nasal drip. I also need to find something that will clear that mucus out so I can breathe better. I feel like I am suffocating. I do not know how to get it out. I spit most of the day but that does not really help much. Please help me.

Forget the Neti pot, too messy. Use NeilMed. Just squeeze the bottle into one nostril after inserting a packet of solution and warm water. It will return out the other nostril bringing out the "stuff" with it. Wonderful.
Make it your daily routine.
Try the saline spray. It's cheap and it usually cuts down on the post-nasal drip even if it doesn't entirely stop it.
Grapefruit seed extract is not harmful it is a natural substance. I used a NeilMed sinus rinse bottle. I filled it with warm (previously boiled) tap water and 8 drops of Nutribiotic GFSE and following the directions cleaned my sinuses (after feeling like I was coming down with a sinus infection) I feel much better.

I have been suffering from post nasal drip for the last 3 years. Does anyone have any ideas on how to treat this condition? It is depressing.

Vitamin C is also good for post nasal drip and sinus problems. Good luck. (05/04/2010)

Having been a lifetime sufferer of allergies, I'm going to recommend the things that helped me.
First, I wouldn't necessarily say antihistamines (benadryl, Claritin, etc). Though if you do any, try the daily like Claritin - not the hourly like benadryl. You want a decongestant to actually dry the drip.
However, I'd put more emphasis on a saline nasal rinse for two reasons. First, often these drips can be because of a sinus infection. I had a horrible sinus infection for weeks, and finally was able to treat it with the rinses. It was amazing how quick that helped. The rinses will help shrink mucus membranes, decrease the irritation that causes the fluid dripping. It's amazing! You don't even have to buy the Neti pot, although I would recommend the saline packets. Of course, boosting your immunity also helps.
Also, examine your home environment - look under sinks for leaks and mildew, really consider your air quality, and treat your bedding for mites. These things can all cause great nasal irritation and go unseen. Good luck! (05/04/2010)

I used to have hay-fever really bad, in addition to having a slight allergy to my cats. Then I started taking 1 capsule of fenugreek every morning and am not bothered by any symptoms. In addition, since it is an herb, you don't have the added worry of taxing your kidneys and liver. (05/04/2010)

First, I'd get myself to a doctor asap. See what he says. Then I'd go to a doctor and find out if you have any allergies. But I have allergies, too, and what never fails is a saline nose spray. I buy it at any drugstore, Walmart, Target, etc. in the US. saline is non-addictive and it washes away whatever is in your nasal cavity or sinuses.
You can also try a Neti Pot which is like a little tea pot you fill with saline solution - they must give the recipe on the box. Same principal, but you have to put the spout in your nose and tilt the saline into your nose. Too much trouble for me, it sounds messy, but my step daughter uses it and is quite happy with the results.
Is it allergy time where you live; pollen all over the place? It is here in Houston, TX USA right now. I read this in a magazine and do it faithfully now:
Every time I go outside I change my clothes when I come home; I'm not bringing the pollen in too far into the house. Then I either brush out my hair vigorously and/or run baby wipes through it to take out the pollen. I take plain water and rinse out the hairs in my nose (or saline spray). I take baby wipes and wash my face, neck, ears, and every other part of my body that was exposed. Be especially careful and wash your hands right away when you come in.
Never sleep in the clothes you wore outside - sometimes I fall asleep in my clothes! Do this every single time you go in/out of the house.
Keep the windows closed in your house and car. In the car, use the air conditioner button that recirculates the same air in your car; not the button that takes the air from the outside and then cools it inside the car. Don't rub your eyes or nose while you're outside. Use the hose and hose down everything you can in your yard, car, what you can easily reach on the outside of the house, patio furniture, your deck or patio. Yes, you better believe it makes for a ton of laundry, but I hardly ever get allergic reactions from pollen now.
You also might try apple cider vinegar tablets. I buy these either from the drugstore by the vitamins or online. Vinegar takes away the acidity in the body; viruses can't grow in your body where the vinegar neutralizes your blood. Viruses only grow in acid blood. I usually take 1, three times a day. You can also take one tablespoon in an 8 oz. glass of water; it can't hurt you at all. Plus it detoxifies the body of impurities.
I don't take prescriptions hardly at all anymore. I think I've built up some type of immunity from the pollen, but if I don't do the above, I get the usual allergy symptoms.
Good luck to you. BUT, please go to a doctor first! (05/05/2010)

This is only a temporary solution, but when I feel that gunk going down my throat, I breathe through my mouth for half a minute or so. I purse my lips a bit, blow in as hard as I can, then blow out in the same manner. It dries up your mouth, but it also dries up a lot of that gunk. Good luck to you. I know how yucky that is.

Mix 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water. Cup some of the mixture into the palm of your hand, snort into your nose and throw back your head. Salt reduces swelling and swollen nasal membranes seem to be the culprit. The mixture will drain down into your throat as well, easing any discomfort there. I immediately blow my nose and have relief in minutes. It doesn't always last really long, but there's no problem doing it again in a few hours. It is the only thing that helps with my sinus pain. It must help reduce pressure put on nerves by the swelling. It's the best treatment I've ever tried for sinus pressure, pain and post-nasal drip. Do give it a try! Lots of luck! (05/05/2010)

I would start by seeing a doctor, possibly an ear, eye, and nose doctor. He or she will be able to tell you if you have allergies and if they are seasonal or chronic. I take a homeopathic "medicine" for allergies which helps. (05/05/2010)
By Maryeileen
Neti pot - while it sounds and sometimes is YUCKY, it has kept me sinus infection free and free of over the counter meds for post nasal drip. It comes with saline powder you mix with warm water to irrigate the sinus passages, it soothes and rinses out the sinuses. I do it in the shower, not every morning but every other morning during high pollen season, then taper off until I feel the post drip coming on. It's been a life saver. Get over the yuck factor and do yourself a favor, get a Neti pot, I've been buying it ($10) for everyone I know who is suffering with sinus infections, those who do it are eternally grateful, those who don't are still crying about their allergies.

In response to Kevin's post about grapefruit seed extract (gse) and alcohol. I have been using nutribiotic's gse for the past seven or so years, when needed, and it is great! It helps with an upset stomach and my sore throats due to pnd and earaches. I love the stuff, and it is not dangerous.
While hard alcohol might initially make you feel better with some immediate pain-reducing effects, you will pay later. Alcohol shuts down glandular functions, primarily that of the pituitary gland, which is responsible for generating serotonin (the stuff that makes us happy), and it will only make your head feel like it is in more of a fog than it already is from all the stuffiness and allergies. I'm a southerner and speak from experience when I say Granny's whiskey only made me feel worse as a kid.
Also, ditto on the neti pots - they're awesome. (06/18/2010)

I have been suffering from post nasal drip for the last 3 weeks. I am currently using a nasal wash (saline), Vicks Vapour Rub, a decongestant cough syrup, garlic, C and horseradish tablets (Nature's Own), and I have also started drinking a lot more water.
The symptoms seem to have reduced a little, but I still have the lump in my throat which is very annoying and frustrating. I find it hard to sleep sometimes, although laying down seems to make it feel a lot better than sitting up. I was using a nasal spray as well which I used for approximately 2 weeks, but I found was making me feel worse.
I find talking a lot seems to make it a lot worse as well, which makes it hard considering I work as a customer service representative. Can anyone recommend anything else for me to try? Thanks.
By Mel585 from Australia
Try an over the counter antihistamine like Benadryl or it's generic equivalent. It dries up the secretions. (08/17/2009)
By OliveOyl
Besides seeing and ear, nose, throat specialist, which should be at the top of your list. You can try Nasal Crom if it is avail where you live. It is a nasal spray avail over the counter. In USA it is $7-$14 at Walmart, 2 different sizes. It can be used every 4 hours, and has no rebound or "addictive" properties like Afrin type sprays do.
The active ingredient is cromolin sodium, which was used in breathing treatments for asthma.
Best of luck to you, but do try the doctor first if at all possible. There are many serious health problems that could be the cause of your condition. (08/17/2009)
With your mentioning of the lump in your throat (and the duration of this nasal drip) I really think you should see a doctor. (08/20/2009)
By Deeli
My home remedy for post nasal drip is to stand in the shower with warm water running over the sinuses for as long as I can. This liquefies the drainage and when I step out of the shower, I blow my nose to clear my head. I do this as often as necessary, but since you work, in the AM and PM should keep the drainage reduced. This gets rid of the phlegm and reduces the infection risks because you get rid of the phlegm and as much doesn't drain into your stomach. When I feel "stuffy" I immediately start the regimen to prevent a serious issue. I have reduced the number of times I've been sick during the year. Good luck. (08/21/2009)
By mklema92658
I'd see a doctor if I were you. In the meantime, here is a recipe for a drink that I really like when I have a sore throat:
Hot Lemonade
Bring water to a boil, add ginger and cloves, steep for 10 minutes. Pour into a glass quart jar. Add lemon juice, honey, and enough water to fill the quart jar. Strain and serve hot. May also be kept chilled in fridge and heat as needed. Leaving the ginger and cloves in the lemonade increases the strength. If the pieces of ginger are large, chop in a food processor along with a few tablespoons of sugar, store in an airtight container.
*Sometimes sold as crystallized ginger. (08/21/2009)
By Allison
I get these all the time. My doctor gave me a full explanation about the drip and he told me what to do so I wouldn't waste my time coming in for the same thing. The drip causes the sore throat or lump in your throat. Usually occurs when you're sleeping or can occur throughout the day. You'll know if you wake up with a sore throat. This becomes a problem if the drip turns to a cough and later can cause fluid in the lungs, or spitting up phlem. If either of these occur you should see a doctor.
Green phelm means infection. However in the mean time he recommended taking over the counter items to stop the drip at night (which is when mine occurs most often), lozenges during the day so you don't feel drowsy or groggy at work. Read the box at the store to find what you need. You don't need a product that covers 50 ailments just the minimum. You can take something during the day too to open the sinuses to drain and stop clogging at night, but that depends on what your issues are during the day. Hope this helps. (09/03/2009)
By kimcar09
I have suffered allergies for most of my 50 years and can tell you now, that other than finding out exactly what you are allergic or sensitive to and being treated for that problem, shots or allergy tablets, is the only real solution to post nasal drip. I myself use Alavert when the various pollens and molds are really high. I only use as needed, keep my nose blown (don't blow too hard or you will damage the linings of your sinuses), and when I get that "tickle" that makes me cough I sip at unsweetened lemon tea or water with lemon in it.
This usually keeps me from getting a sinus infection, which if not taken care of immediately, it then turns to bronchitis and then to pneumonia. It is very wise to go to the doc even when you just blow yellow from your nose as this means the start of a sinus upset and green simply means the infection is worse. I have also had the lump in my throat that is very annoying. Usually, once I took the antibiotics for the sinus infection, the lump also went away.
There are also a few medicines that I can't take because they cause a lump inside my throat. Most pharmacists, or their computer read-outs on a product, will tell you (under side effects) that if you feel a lump in your throat to contact your doctor immediately. Some long-term medicines can also cause this after being taken for a long time and the prescription has to be changed for a while. (09/08/2009)

To all those who suffer from cold related problems, I want to say this. I was also some one who suffered a lot due to the frequent cold, post nasal drip, etc. I had tried many remedies some times desperately. I used to search on the internet for remedies. Some remedies used to give me partial cure and relief, but nothing was a permanent solution. Finally a couple of months ago I happened to read a news in the news paper about green tea and its capabilities to control cold related problems.
I tried this and can say now that this worked absolutely fine for me. I drink 7-8 glasses of green tea a day now, but without adding milk and sugar. I want you too to try this and I am confident that it will give you at least a major relief from your cold related problems. Please remember that it will be difficult to drink green tea without sugar and milk initially, but you will definitely get used to it and it will definitely bring you results. All the best.

I have a major problem with post nasal drip and have tried everything over the counter. I have been to the doctor 2 times and nothing he gave me helped. What can I do? It's driving me nuts.

Royal Dutch ShellDividend Yield: 4.60% Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS.A) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.60%. Royal Dutch Shell plc operates as an independent oil and gas company worldwide. The company explores for and extracts crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. The company has a P/E ratio of 8.40. The average volume for Royal Dutch Shell has been 2,224,000 shares per day over the past 30 days. Royal Dutch Shell has a market cap of $210.6 billion and is part of the energy industry. Shares are down 2.6% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Royal Dutch Shell as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its attractive valuation levels and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- RDS.A's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.20 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 0.85 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 10.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 5.9%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC's earnings per share declined by 7.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC reported lower earnings of $8.50 versus $9.94 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($16.46 versus $8.50).
- The gross profit margin for ROYAL DUTCH SHELL PLC is rather low; currently it is at 17.51%. Regardless of RDS.A's low profit margin, it has managed to increase from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 7.24% trails the industry average.

Illini to open against defending champs
CHAMPAIGN — The Illinois soccer team will begin its NCAA tournament journey against the team that starred in the 2010 event.
The Illini will host defending champion Notre Dame in a first-round match at 1 p.m. Sunday.
"Having the automatic bid (for the Big Ten), we knew we were in and that is a good thing," Illinois senior Marissa Mykines said. "There is not as much pressure when watching the selection show and just knowing we are hosting and getting to play the defending champions is quite an honor. It is going to be a tough game, but every game from here on out is a tough one."
The Irish have one of the sport's best programs, having earned three national titles and 12 appearances in the College Cup. The Irish (10-7-3) earned an at-large bid after scuffling through the regular season.
"It's definitely been a challenging season for us, but we're excited to be part of this year's NCAA tournament," Notre Dame coach Randy Waldrum said. "We've had some anxious moments the past few days waiting for the bracket to come out, and in the end we're pleased to have the opportunity to defend our championship on the field. Illinois is an extremely talented and well-coached team, as they showed by winning the Big Ten tournament in overtime against Penn State, and it will be a test for us to go down there and play them at their place."
With a victory, Illinois likely would visit Oklahoma State (19-1-2), seeded second in its quadrant, on Nov. 18.

About Me
Nicole Ramirez
- Introducing Nicole RamirezHello my name is Nicole and it mean victory of the people, victorious one, and it origin is from Greece.
I am a photographer, author, as well as an artist. This is my first posting here in my blog, and over the next season, i will share from several different subjects so as to encourage you. One goal I have and intend to accomplish is to share the trials, traumas, and just hard times that i have come through, that i made it this far and you can too.
So, let me start with as i said above.... My name is Nicole. I am adopted and found out as i was raised by my adoptive parents, that my name was given to my by my biological dad. I was born in the 50's, and even though now in the 21st century, when i was growing up there was not one other Nicole i even met, heard of, be it in my life or on television. I never heard the name Nicole anywhere at all.
I was raised by Mr & Mrs Stickler, my adoptive parents, and they adopted another kid, this time a boy, and now i had a brother. We moved ever so much and so i never really got established in a neighborhood, all but for once.
My dad acquired cancer and died of it when i was 11. We moved back to Pennsylvania, so he could say goodbye to his blood family before he died. After his death we came back to California, and settled in
San Diego County, the home of my moms sister. We settled in an rural area of the Eastern County, and we stayed in one place, and it was nice to go to one school my entire high school years.
Of course i saw some cute looking guys, and sorta would follow them around. Another guy became aware of me, especially as i started to go to sports events to take pictures. I decided to take photography, for i needed credits to graduate, and that seemed different and maybe fun. By the end of my junior year, i started dating this guy who was watching me. He graduated that year and 2 years later i then graduated. He then moved and got his own apartment and i invited myself to move in. Within several months a very good friend of mine, had a dream, and because of the dream, she begged me to watch Billy Graham crusade that weekend on the t.v. (i had gone to his crusades growing up, and watched his crusades lots of times). So the weekend came and it was December of 1977. I watched the crusade and ended up curled up on the floor crying at the end when the invitation to accept Christ was given. Well that very night, i couldn't go to bed with my boyfriend, i just KNEW it was not good anymore. So i slept in the walk in closet. Within the next week, i moved home with my mom. (she now only had a one bedroom apartment, and my brother had left home). Within several months my boyfriend whose name was Charles, well he came to invite me out on a date once again, and shared with me he was saved now. Within 5 months i was engaged, and we got married in June 1979.
I got pregnant nearly immediately and had a son in June of 1980 and named him charles as well. I now called my husband Charlie. The next 20 years were basically 2 more kids, who were boys, and several apartments too.
In 2002 my mom died, and within a year i started looking for my birth mom. It was (I think) in 2005 that i found my birth dad. I found him for i had always known we had the new paper article in which it was shared the details of my situation..........
Details will be given in the next posting on my blog...........

I've had more than 5 boyfriends and I'm the first girlfriend for my current boyfriend. He doesn't seem to understand that when you're in a relationship you tell each other everything and everything is 50-50. Whenever he makes promises that we'll spend time together, he's out with his friends all night. I do not contact him whatsoever because I don't want to be pushy. He says i act extremely childish and get upset too quick. I just want to know where is he and why couldn't he tell me that he wasn't going to show up for our plans. He wants to know where i am so i tell him. I tell him it makes me feel like shit when he does that. I told him we have to be fair to one another. He thinks it's okay to break off our plans without even telling me. I've been in this spot many times but never knew why he'd rather be with his friends than me. I just get upset when he breaks his promise. I hardly see him or talk to him because we both work so much. He told me he won't make promises anyone and from now on we can only spend time together if his friends don't call him.
I keep telling myself maybe it's because he's never had a relationship before and doesn't know how to handle it. Even though i explained it many times.

This is not a good sign at all, when your boyfriend starts spending more time with his friends rather than you then your relationship will eventually suffer and even fights and arguments may arise due to this, it may not be happening now but in future it will happen if he doesn't stop this.
There is no excuse to his behavior, no justification. Yes, I agree that friends are important but not more than important than your partner/girlfriend, when you are in a relationship you should give utmost importance to your partner and not to your friends.
In this case your boyfriend is giving more importance to his friends rather than you and that is not a good thing.10|10|0
Thanks for the MHO

Is this worth your time? This would royally piss me off because even as a FRIEND and not a girlfriend, if you have plans, and you make other ones or can't make it, YOU LIKE THE OTHER PERSON KNOW. It also sounds like he doesn't really value spending time with you, which for me is a huge problem in a relationship as well. Like I'm all for balance but you can't ALWAYS choose your friends.00|00|0

Elliott Sadler Trading in His Firesuit for a Court Suit

Great, Elliott Sadler and his attorney are gearing up for court, if things need to get that far.

This blog offers a little different perspective on the reason for all of the silence:
The drivers don't want to speak up because it could happen to them. The owners don't want to comment because they want to see how the contract holds up. If Elliott wins, this could change the way they hire and fire in the future. They won't be able to just drop a driver whenever they feel like it.
#62 Jan 6, 2009
(sorry if this is a double post)
From a business side, yes, I'd absolutely hire him. His wife has nothing to do with the product branding that he does for sponsors. Compared to Dale Earnhardt Jr.? No, sponsors like Best Buy didn't get as much face time as other cars. But Elliott had some great runs (Indy and Talladega spring to mind) and pulling moves like staying out under caution to get bonus points...etc. earned him a little extra exposure.
Each time a sponsor's logo is shown on t.v. or each time their product is mentioned - it translates into so much consumer value. So at Homestead all the sponsored cared about was a clear shot of the logos on his suit. They probably could care less if a monkey were wearing it, as long as it got that exposure and therefore that extra value.(Although they probably assume Elliott could sell it better than a monkey) Elliott had interviews before almost every race (on Speed...etc.) and he was also able to tie in his sponsorships into Trackside via logos on his shirt (on most shows). That adds up, and if you look at the rotation of sponsors on Elliott's plate - each individual sponsor didn't spend as much money as other sponsors that work with teams for the entire season(like Jimmie Johnson's relationship with Lowe's...etc.). Best Buy for example sponsored some races independently, but then tied in third party sponsors such as Garmin and the people who released the U2 thing. Elliott is smart when the U2 car wasn't getting exposure he took advantage of the rain delay in California and sold the U2 movie during an interview, just by mentioning and talking about it.
Elliott is a sponsor's dream, and the fact that he still pulled in some high profile sponsors speaks volumes. Reed's finishes were barely mediocre, and even though A.J. only raced in 27 races last year, and even with his decent finishes the last 5 for GEM, Elliott's average finish was still better (if only by one point).
Elliott's season was terrible - we all know this but he pulled in 2 top five's and 6 top ten's vs. AJ's 2 top 10's and zero top 5's. And we saw some of Elliott's best runs fly out the window with bad luck - via flat tires...etc that were beyond his control.
I don't doubt that George Gillett is a smart business man, he is after all a billionaire. However he buys into sports franchises and ruins what fans love about them. I know this sounds backwards - because you don't invest that much money into something without taking it as a serious business venture, but he seems to forget the loyalty and the passion of the NASCAR fans. Sponsors keep cars on the track, but consumers and fans are what keep sponsors spending, not to mention the money fans spend on merchandise and all that. Look at his problems with his Liverpool football team...etc. Soccer/Football's fan loyalty is probably the only sport that rivals NASCAR (internationally). It's like he buys these teams as a hobby, and I question the direct involvment he actually has. I'm sure he has plenty of people pulling the strings for him and he probably sits back and enjoys the show. We'll see what happens, but it'd be a conflict of interest for Elliott to get back into a GEM car. I hope he's working on securing a ride with someone else while sueing the pants of Gillett!

I totally get what you, and others, have said. I guess I just don't understand this. It seems so simple to me, you have a contract, if one side wants out they BOTH must come to a mutual agreement. If it doesn't work that way then why even have a contract? I'm really pissed,thats all I can say. I'm looking for some explanation that makes sense. I understand he maybe isn't the best choice from some business perspectives...HOWEVER, I don't see how Almondlicker, or whatever his name is, could possibly bring in more sponsor money than Elliott and from a business perspective I would think thats a pretty big deal. They don't even have full sponsorship for the season for Sorenson and then they do this. It just doesn't make sense and it makes me feel like something hasn't been said and there are more surprises down the road. Maybe I'm cynical but something ain't right here.

Republican Ted Cruz and Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders snatched victories in the crucial Wisconsin presidential primary Tuesday, sending a message to frontrunners Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton that their march to the nominations are not foregone conclusions.
US networks including Fox News and NBC called the race for the two underdogs within half an hour of polls closing in the Midwestern state that borders Canada.
With seven percent of precincts reporting, Cruz, a conservative senator from Texas, was ahead with 49 percent of the vote compared to 35 percent for billionaire Trump.
Cruz's win in the Badger State is a serious blow to Trump and could alter the trajectory of the Republican race.
On the Democratic side, Vermont Senator Sanders led with 57 percent versus 43 percent for Clinton.
But the former secretary of state can look forward with some confidence to the upcoming races.

On February 3, the Feast of San Biagio (Saint Blaise in English), the people of Milan practice a peculiar custom—eating leftover panettone cake for breakfast. It's a tradition very likely born, at least in part, of timing—for many Catholics, the Christmas festivities come to an official end on Candlemas, February 2—but also of the saint's legendary association with bread, which he used to save a boy choking on a fish bone. San Biagio is, in fact, the protector against throat ailments and choking (on February 3 the Blessing of the Throats is celebrated). According to this Milanese tradition, eating panettone first thing on the morning of February 3 will safeguard the throat against illness or problems.
Could this panettone di San Biagio business be an excuse to break open that final remaining panettone we've all hidden away in the pantry after the holidays? Fine by me.
The image below is an Eataly Milan store advert for panettone, featuring a saying in Milanese about the blessings of the saint and a note that the panetun cakes have been especially prepared for the occasion.

New Testament translation for the Tsemmay people in Ethiopia is in progress. Because many Ethiopian people groups are oral societies, an audio version of the translated Bible will give communities the chance to hear the gospel in a way they can understand best. In addition, audio Scripture portions will help the local translators assess their translation work in progress as they work on the recording. You can help provide the funds needed to record the Gospels of Mark andLuke for the Tsemmay people.
Funds in excess of the current need will be applied to a similar project or to future needs within the same project.

N.Y. Travel Plazas Get Low Marks
State audit finds high prices, dirty bathrooms at Interstate sites.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Food prices are high and restrooms are often dirty at New York State Thruway travel plazas, according to an audit report released in June 26 by state comptroller Alan Hevesi.
Ineffective monitoring and oversight of concessionaire's contracts with the Thruway Authority are to blame, the audit said.
"Thruway travel plazas should be operated for the comfort of travelers and the financial benefit of all New Yorkers," Hevesi said in a written statement. "Based on our auditors' findings, the Authority needs to provide better oversight so it can improve services for travelers and potentially increase revenues from the travel plazas."
In addition to providing food service, contractors HMS Host and McDonald's are responsible for the cleanliness of the plazas, including restrooms. Plaza gas stations operate under separate contracts.
The Thruway Authority must approve menu items and prices, and the prices charged must be comparable to those on other toll roads, or at similar restaurants in the region of that travel plaza.
The comptroller's auditors found that many unapproved menu items were available and that many food items were offered at prices higher than the approved amount. In some cases prices were 30 percent higher than prices in the area, the report said.
Auditors found that the contract-approved prices for drinks at McDonald's on the Thruway were 19 to 39 percent higher -- $1.69 for a large drink compared with $1.42 off-Thruway, $1.39 for a small drink compared with $1.00 off-Thruway. A large Whopper combo at Burger King was $5.95 at travel plazas and $4.33 off-Thruway, while a regular kids' hamburger meal was $2.99 at travel plazas and $2.33 off-Thruway.
"If the Thruway Authority made sure that the prices were more in line with those at similar local restaurants, more travelers would purchase more food at the plazas, and the end result would be higher revenues for the authority and its concessionaires," Hevesi said.
"That is exactly what happened when the authority subsidized lower fuel prices at plaza gas stations several years ago. Sales increased dramatically, so the rents paid by Sunoco and ExxonMobil -- which are based on gallons of fuel delivered to each station - increased as well," his statement said.
Additional findings cited in the report are:
* Only 3 percent of all plaza restroom inspections by the Authority were conducted during nighttime hours and bathrooms were sometimes dirty. The auditors also found that in some cases informal arrangements had been made to allow fewer cleaning personnel than were required under contract;
* The Thruway Authority received only summary sales data from plaza food concessionaires. This made it difficult to track consumer preferences and the success of different restaurants. "This lack of information could result in lower rent income from the plazas," the report said;
* Thruway Authority staff didn't perform the required number of inspections and inspection practices did not focus on inflated food prices or dirty restrooms;
* The Thruway Authority could enhance customer service by expanding services for truckers, offering motel and hotel reservation services and opening more convenience stores at travel plazas.
In its written response to the audit, the Thruway Authority agreed that food prices should be more carefully monitored, and that informal arrangements to allow fewer restroom cleaners had been changed.
But the authority also said that the report did not reflect " the overall high quality customer service delivered by the plaza's on a daily basis.
"Further, while we are always striving to improve our monitoring capability, we believe it is inaccurate to suggest that current efforts are ineffective," the Thruway Authority response said.
"The Thruway Authority is also in active discussions with food vendors to ensure that food prices are competitive with off-Thruway vendors. Those discussions also include making more food choices available for extended hours," authority spokesman Terry O'Brien said.
The authority employs nine inspectors to monitor the 27 travel plazas. Sixteen Thruway travel plazas are operated under contract with HMS Host and 11 under contract with McDonald's. HMS Host directly manages and operates its restaurant and retail operations, while McDonald's subcontracts with other restaurants and retail operators.

O mnie
Hi!I became a naturalized American in 2015. I was born in China, but I grew up in the US. I studied architecture. I've been working at an architectural firm since June 2015 as an architectural designer. I am currently back home in Texas, where I will stay for the foreseeable future - well, at least the next 5 years I presume.
Although I am getting to the stage of my life where things are stabilizing, I am still definitely going to take every opportunity to travel, meet folks, and create amazing memories, which Couchsurfing has been a big part of ever since I got signed up!
I hope to be able to work abroad in 2018. That's a big goal of mine!
I want to go to Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing
I heard about CS from a school friend in 2009 while studying in Italy. At the time, I thought it was a crazy idea. Now it's 2017, and I still think this thing is crazy.
I am super thankful my friend made the suggestion to me. I think CS is one of the most amazing things ever invented. I've made some good memories and great friends from this platform and hope to share this amazing-ness in the future. I hope CS will still be around when I am 60. :)
Till I have my own place, I won't be able to host, but would love to meet up.
I like sports a lot - basketball, American football, badminton, and baseball.
Architecture. This was my area of study and I am on my way to becoming licensed.
Traveling. Like most CSers, this is pretty much a given. When traveling, however, I like to meet locals and try to have an authentic experience.

As a child, the Harry Potter series was a dose of magical escape.
More recently: Hot, Flat and Crowded, Eyal Weizman's works, Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, Da Vinci's Code, just to name a few. I've read more non-fictions than fictions in recent years. I think it's just a phase. American news has been "amazing" for the last year. This has been enough to offset the little reading I've been doing in recent years.
Movies + TV:
Amelie, Lord of the Rings, October Sky, Pride and Prejudice, Garden State, Nuovo Cinema Paradiso, most Pixar movies, the Goonies, Lost, Walking Dead, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Office, Downton Abbey, Westworld, Big Little Lie.
Music-wise, I've been stuck on mostly music from 1999-2004. I am really out of it! Lately, I've been trying to catch up on all my Chinese music from nostalgia and from the gap years. Having played violin for 7 years, I do enjoy classical music when in the mood.
Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)
Made some real genuine friends - people whom I would entrust my life with - through the internet.
Czym mogę się podzielić z gospodarzami
At the least, my smile and upbeat attitude.
I could definitely share a bit about home improvements, architecture, history of architecture, Chinese culture, sports, my traveling experiences, dealing with parents who do not approve of your girlfriends, etc.

First Leg Cramp and Shopping for Maternity Clothes!
After church, my friend Alyssa and I went shopping for maternity clothes. Alyssa is in my small group for church and is 11 weeks ahead of me (7 1/2 months along now), so it has been fun to share this experience with her. We decided to go to the Old Navy at Metropolis (Plainfield, IN)because they sell maternity clothes there. I bought a bunch of casual clothes...a new pair of sweat pants, a few long sleeved-tees, a couple tank tops, and a nicer shirt. Then I also got two (much needed) new bras and another sweater. Alyssa also found some great buys at New York and Company. We had lunch at Red Robin, which was delicious! I made the mistake of ordering a cheeseburger with onion straws on it and had acid reflux the rest of the day. It really did not stop! I guess I won't order anything with onions for awhile. :) All in all, I think we had a successful day of shopping, eating, and talking! It was a great way to spend the day. :)
18 weeks and new OBGYN!
Yes, you read our last blog correctly. Ryan and I made a decision about who we want to work with throughout the rest of this pregnancy. I should preface this blog with saying that I am now on Ryan's insurance (Anthem). If I decide to work part time next year, it will be more cost-effective for the baby and me to be on his insurance plan than on mine. So, I called the Birth Center downtown to find out some information about the Nurse Midwives of Indianapolis (NWI). Here is the website in case you are ever interested:
They deliver at Methodist Hospital in addition to their birth center, which was appealing to us. However, when I spoke with them, I found out that NWI's facility is not contracted to work with Anthem, even though the midwives themselves are "in network". Because of that, we would have had to pay them $125 at our first appointment and an additional $2,200 by our 34 weeks appointment. This would ensure the NWI that they would get paid for their services. Then, Anthem would send us a check in the mail for whatever they deem "appropriate" for maternity care. In all actuality, they could send us LESS THAN the $2,200, meaning that Ryan and I would have had to pay out of pocket to work with the midwife group. PLUS, we would have to pay the hospital fees for delivering there. Does that all make sense? It took some time for me to understand it all myself. Fortunately, Ryan being employed at Athem makes our lives so much easier because he knows exactly who to call to find out these kinds of things. Plus, the NMI were very helpful in telling us how the financial piece works with them when you have Anthem insurance.
In sum, we decided that it was going to be just too much of a hassle (and possibly more money out of pocket) to work with the midwife group. By working with the doctor we chose, our insurance will take care of it's part, and we will handle the rest. Again, the situation is only confusing because we have Anthem insurance. If you are ever interested in working with the NMI and have a different insurance carrier, you won't have the same problem as we ran into with them. I had really been praying for God to help us figure out who we were supposed to work with throughout the rest of the pregnancy, and I do feel like He was helping lead us to the right person for us. Everyone has different personal needs, desires for their birth experience, etc., and I do feel really excited about our choice. Dr. Mary Soper has been practicing as an OBGYN for years and years and is really recognized as one of the better OBGYNs in Indianapolis. You can check out http://www.indymoms.com for some threads about her. She will deliver our baby at Methodist Hospital, which we are really excited about. She is also the OBGYN who backs up all of the midwives in Indianapolis, so Dr. Soper is very supportive when mothers want less medical interventions during their labor (e.g., inducing labor, episiotomies, epidurals, extracting the baby, C-sections, etc. ). Of course, there are times when those interventions are necessary, and Dr. Soper is qualified to perform any of them if they become medically necessary. I feel like I'm getting the best of both worlds!
I made my 20 week appointment with Dr. Soper for Wednesday, Jan. 2nd at 3:30 p.m. She is going on vacation for two weeks in January, so they squeezed us in this week (we will be 19 weeks that day). I am realy excited to hear the baby's heartbeat again, which is the best part of any prenatal appointment in my opinion. :) I really do feel like this is the exact person we are supposed to work with, and I'm really looking forward to meeting Dr. Soper on Wednesday. HOORAY!
Christmas 2007
Anyway, we both had a really nice Christmas this year! We spent one day with my mom's family, had an overnight trip to Ryan's parents (with the dogs), had Ryan's mom's family over to our house to celebrate, and had an overnight trip to my dad and stepmom's house in South Whitley. We really had a great time with everyone! It's always fun to spend time with family, and now that the Tour de' Christmas is over, it's also nice to be home and to get things back on track. Right now the laundry machines are busy working, the pups are asleep on the couch with me, and Alice in Wonderland on the Disney Channel just ended. After I woke up this morning, I balanced the checkbook, put our schedule for January on the calendar, refilled Layla's prescription (she will have been seizure-free for a month as of tonight), and made an appointment with our new OBGYN! Check out the next blog for more information.
For now, here are some pictures of Ryan and the pups at Christmas. There aren't any pictures of me, but I will try to post some new belly shots on Wednesday after our appointment with Dr. Soper to show what I look like at 19 weeks. Can you believe that I'm almost halfway through this pregnancy. It is just flying by! I should also note that Ryan got me a prenatal massage for each month of the rest of this pregnancy. Wasn't that so great?!?! I can't wait to cash in my first one, as my back is just starting to bother me a little more lately.
Our Christmas tree with presents and stockings for Ryan, Kya, Layla, and me!
A better look at the dogs red stockings, their treats, and new toys!
The dogs waiting patiently at the top of the stairs before running down to see the gifts that Santa left them this year.
The pups eating their treats and finding their new toys!
Ryan enjoying his new pedals for his guitar!
Craziness at 4 months!
New Ultrasound!
The baby has two normal bones in its arms (unlike its mommy...who most of you know has a fused ulna and radius).
Here is what the baby looks like if you look down from the shoulders. Those are it's little arms and hands sticking out!
Here the baby is looking right at the ultrasound probe! WOW!
We'll be 17 weeks along tomorrow, so here is the information about what happens in utero at 17 weeks:
Can you believe we'll be 4 months along on Friday? Time is really flying by!
Prenatal Appointment Today!
Our midwife went over the results of our ultrasound from 4 weeks ago. The baby was measuring really well! There can be an error of one week when they do their measurements, and we were just one day short of 12 weeks. Anyway, they take lots of measurements, but there are three main ones that they do...something to do with the head, the femur, and I can't remember the last one. Anyway, the baby's three measurements were 12 weeks, 6 days on one, 12 weeks 6 days on the second, and 12 weeks, 5 days on the third. Our midwife said that she doesn't usually see numbers so similar, so I guess that proves that our baby is perfect (just kidding of course). :) All of the other measurements looked great with one exception. I guess that there are two layers that surround the amniotic sac, and there was a an area where those two membranes had separated. That type of separation is usually resolved between 14 and 16 weeks, so we have to have an ultrasound done at 16 weeks to see if that gap closed. I'm honestly not going to worry myself over it because there just isn't anything I can do. It's kind of in God's hands at this point! If they find that it has not closed, we will just have to learn the next course of action. We'll just take it as it comes! That's what parenting is all about, right, rolling with the punches?
FYI: here is some information about healthy weight gain during pregnancy...taken straight from www.webmd.com:
A woman of average weight before pregnancy should gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. Underweight women should gain 28-40 pounds during pregnancy. Overweight women may need to gain only 15-25 pounds during pregnancy. You may need to gain more or less weight, depending on what your health care provider recommends. In general, you should gain about 2 to 4 pounds during your first three months of pregnancy and 1 pound a week for the remainder of your pregnancy. If you are expecting twins you should gain 35 to 45 pounds during your pregnancy. This would be an average of 1 ½ pounds per week after the usual weight gain in the first three months.
I gained 3/4 of a pound during my first trimester and have gained 6 1/4 lbs. since my 11 week appointment, which again was 5 weeks ago. So, that's a grand total of 7 pounds when I should be between 6-8 pounds at this point in time and is almost a pound a week gain. I feel pretty good about that! Now I'm not going to lie...when I saw my current weight on the scale, I had to laugh because I have never seen that number before! But again, I know that this is all part of bringing a new life into this world, so I feel really good about it. :) Now that the weight is coming on, I feel more motivated to really start exercising. It will give me something else to blog about!
The last thing to mention is that our midwife is leaving...she's taking a new job in Virginia because her private practice just didn't take off like she had hoped. Did you know that you are not billed for prenatal appointments or the like until after the baby is born?? I had no clue! I talked to a girlfriend who goes to an OBGYN tonight, and she said that she had to pay a co-pay at her first appointment and has not paid a thing since. Very interesting! I can see how only having 1-2 births per month would make it hard to keep your practice going. So, we are going to see how the results of this ultrasound go on Monday (where we will NOT find out the sex of the baby even though we could totally find out! AHHH!), and then we'll make a decision about what to do next. I have a second midwife in mind who we could try, but if it seems like there will be more medical situations to consider (due to this separation in membranes), it may be best for us to work with an OBGYN. We will just see! Whatever is meant to be will be. I can't really explain it, but I never actually thought Betsy would deliver our baby. I just couldn't get that visual in my head, so when she said, "I have some news," I guessed it right away that she was leaving. Call me psychic! Call me brilliant! I am just excited to see where this journey takes us next.
Any prayers and thoughts you have in the next week are greatly appreciated! Hopefully little Babell's amniotic sac is all fine...I'm sure it will be. :) Remember, there is power in positive thinking!
In order to not post again tomorrow, here is an update about what will be happening with the baby at 16 weeks:
Neat, huh? You can really feel how hard my uterus is getting, too, which is really neat. Since I'm not 100% sure that I've felt the baby moving, it's neat to feel and see changes in my body. It makes everything so real!
Time for a little education...
The following are things that we would LOVE to hear you say to us during our pregnancy:
The following are things that we NEVER want to hear you say to us during our pregnancy. If you can't help yourself to think these things, please keep them to yourself:
A Fun Week
What do you think?? Ryan and I went nursery furniture shopping on Saturday but didn't have much luck. The nursery is fairly small, so I don't want to buy too much furniture and overcrowd the room. For all of you who are mothers, what furniture did you find the most essential? For example, are changing tables used that much, or did you find yourself changing the baby on the floor, couch, or a bed most of the time? Obviously we will be getting a crib, but I'm trying to decide between a chest of drawers OR a dresser w/ hutch. What do you think? Kelli, Ryan's sister, gave us her rocker, so we are good to go there (thanks again, Kel!). Again, I appreciate any advice you have! Also, one more question...is a convertible crib worth buying so that we'll have a full size bed for after we're done with the nursery, or should I just buy a regular crib? I'm trying to be practical but without having been a parent before, I'm not sure how well cribs hold up after the baby(s) are not needing cribs anymore. On the plus side, I got a FREE prenatal massage (10 minutes or so) at Baby USA in Castleton...it was DEVINE! I tried to talk Ryan into getting a massage, too, but no dice. :) I know, he's crazy! He has no idea what he is missing!
I noticed something kind of funny this week about people. Now that people know that I'm pregnant, when I go to talk to someone, the person always seems to look straight at my stomach first. It's hilarious! Then the person will look back at my face...then my stomach...then my face...and the conversation begins. It's like they have to size me up or something! :) One person will say to me, "What?!?! You're 15 weeks...how are you still in regular clothes??? You're so skinny!" I walk away feeling like a million bucks but also wondering, "Oh no, am I putting on enough weight for the baby?" Not 5 minutes later, someone else will say, "WOW! You're really popping out there!" So then I feel like a COW! It's pretty hysterical! I've just decided that everyone has an opinion...how much weight you should gain...how big or small they think you are...etc. I'm just going to enjoy every minute of it! I would guess that a lot of parenting is about sacrifices that you make for your children...sacrifices you are (usually) happy to make because you love them so much. My changing figure is just one of the first sacrifices that I am willing to make right now for this baby. People will say, "You know, breastfeeding will ruin your chest!" To be honest, I'm ok with that. Sure it'd be nice to stay 25 years old forever without my body growing old, but if my baby gets to have the best nutrients from the start, I really am more than happy to make that sacrifice. God didn't intend for us to have these bodies forever, and although it doesn't give us an excuse not to take care of them, it does help me cope with the changes that are happening. :)
Speaking of God, I have to say how thankful I am that Ryan and I found a church home. We were talking tonight on the way back from our friends (Abigail and Devin) Christmas program at their church. We were saying that the thing we were most thankful for this year was finding Emmanuel Church of Greenwood. We have both grown so much as people this year, and the best part is...the growing is only going to get better. I think it's so important for us to be a strong couple for this baby, with God at the center of our lives. It just helps me feel that much more prepared for when the baby arrives in Spring. To have the support and love from the people we've met at church makes Greenwood really feel like a community...a community to raise our family in for years to come.
Life is good!
15 Weeks!
We decorated the house for Christmas, and Ryan suggested that we put the tree in our front room. It was such a great idea! Check out how it turned out. I seriously love our Christmas tree! I just feel so happy when we turned the lights on and just let it shine in the front room.
Thanks for all of your fun comments after reading our blog! It has been a lot of fun reading them. Until next time...take care!

Summer 13 :)
This summer was a great one. I went to the Indianapolis fair and i had a blast. We rode rides and went ate elephant ears and saw the ice skating show. We were there all day until night time. Everything at night looks awesome. All the lights looked cool.
This summer I also went to The Museum Of Art in Indianapolis. Everything there was so artistic and cool to look at. We rode a big bysicle which was nice until we had to go up hills. The view was really nice and there was so much stuff to look at. I will definatly be going back.
One of my favorite places to go during the summer is California. I went to visit my dad. We went to San Fransisco and it was amazing. There are so many hude uilding with tons of people. The view of the golden gate bridge is something really worth seeing. One of the things that i really liked about San Fransisco was when you look up at some of the buildings you cant see the very top because there so high up that the clouds cover it. This is some of the things I did for my 2013 Summer. :)

Graphic Design according to AIGA, is the art and practice of planning and protecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content.
Graphic design occupies the intersection of the science of communication and the art of aesthetics. In its most abstract sense, graphic design emphasizes visual communication using a range of elements and different media to promote a specific message.

Business may not grow well without graphic designs, individuals and companies who desire to add visuals to their content would have to employ the service of a graphic designer. The ultimate reason behind this is that these graphic designs manage to communicate the content in an eye-catching way that even the most intriguing content could not compete with it.
"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much." – Jim Rohn
Graphic designers are at times mistakenly thought of as artist and many business owners wonder what an artist could possibly add to their operations.

I have absolutely ALWAYS been one to roll my eyes when people talk about things like "3 week anniversaries."
(I knew a girl who burst into tears once because a certain song came on the radio and it reminded her that it would have been...key words: WOULD HAVE BEEN...her and her boyfriend's "a year and eight month anniversary." A year and eight months? Come ON!)
However, then there are other types of anniversaries...
Two weeks ago marked the 9th anniversary of my dad's death...and, oddly enough, this day is sadder and weirder each year.
I feel like it should be the other way around. It should be getting easier, but it's not.
And I realized that maybe it works both ways...
Although I think the concept of "a year and eight month anniversaries" is ridiculous, I think something like a 50th Anniversary is quite major. The first anniversary without somebody...the pain is still pretty fresh...but as the years pass, the pain starts to faid, and by the time you get to the 9th anniversary, you're not thinking and crying about that person all the time anymore. You have truly started to heal...and while you DO want to heal, you also start to feel a lot of guilt that you HAVE healed.
With every year that comes and goes, my dad becomes less a part of my life and more of a memory, which makes that one day...April 6th...the one day out of the year I can really just feel sad about his death again, just as I did nine years ago.
Last week, I learned that a friend of mine...somebody I really don't know too well, I only met her in the fall when we worked on a show together...lost her dad suddenly to a heart attack.
I called her when I heard the news, and immediately, my voice began to break and I started to cry at my desk at work.
Oddly enough, I also started to cry when I was driving a couple of weeks ago and heard on the radio that Elliot Yamin's mother passed away.
Losing a parent...when you are young and THEY are young...is one of the worst things in the world...and it also makes you feel immediately connected to somebody when you've learned they have been through the same thing...
Thoughts and friendship to EVERYBODY who has had the same familiar feelings, on the first anniversary and the fiftieth.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Located just off the 17th fairway of Mountainside Golf Resort, this spacious, two-story condo is a great family get-away. This newer style, 2400 square foot, open floor plan, with beautiful furnishings and hardwood flooring, provides plenty of room and relaxation. Contains (one) master bedroom with en-suite, (two) additional bedrooms, (two) additional bathrooms, a bright kitchen with a large island, a laundry room, and an amazing view of the Columbia Valley Mountain Range. Accommodating up to 8 guests, this condo offers all the comforts of home to make your vacation planning a breeze. We take care of everything from linens to a well-equipped kitchen. Come... make yourself at home and relax!
The Fairmont Hot Springs area boosts (12) championship golf resorts to choose from. Columbia, Windermere, and Wasa Lake will provide you with all your water-skiing needs. Whether you wish to fine dine, fast food, or buy your own groceries, this area provides it all. Within walking distance to Canada's largest natural Hot Springs, the Indian Foot Baths, and Hot Springs water fall that you can swim under.
Keywords: Condominium
We stayed for 5 nights over New Years and had two condos and 17 people. This condo was our meeting place as it was very large and the kitchen worked really well for our large crowd. It is really well equipped and the young people loved sitting around the counter. There were 3 bathrooms that were also well equipped and laundry facilities which was helpful for drying towels. It was also great that the condo was decorated for Christmas! We enjoyed the two seating areas, and large dining table and everyone had at least one game of pool! The customer service was excellent and everything was super clean.
We took part in the fireworks up at the resort and swam both at Fairmont Hot Springs and Radium Hot Springs, we skied at both Panorama and Fairmont ski hills, cross country skied on Lillian Lake and Lake Windermere, and shopped in Invermere. The location was excellent.Thanks so much! We will be back.
We rented over the Thanksgiving weekend. The place was nicely decorated and very clean. It is stocked with everything you need. There are only two floors, which is great for people with old knees! Our adult children enjoyed the downstairs to visit and play games without the parents. The photos do not do justice to how great this place is to spend a weekend or more. Members of our extended family were also staying in other places but we had the best place to host 25 for the big turkey dinner. The kitchen counter is central and large, which made serving easy and conversations could be shared between the dining and the living spaces. Highly recommended.
This property was incredible and exceeded our expectations. The add didn't even mention the pool table in the basement or the propane BBQ on the patio. There were 6 adults and 1 child in our party and we had more than enough room. Everything was clean and in good working order. Location was perfect. Just off of Mountainside Golf course and about a 10 minute hike along Fairmont Creek (or 2 minute drive) to the hot springs pools. Only negative was no air conditioning, but even in the 30+ degree weather we had, it didn't get too warm in the unit. We would definately stay here again.

I've owned an SR22 for awhile and I have no significant issues with the function with the exception of an intermittent failure to feed with one of the magazines. That's a project for another day.
My question to other owners of the same pistol is about barrel leading. I find that every time I shoot the weapon it is necessary to remove the barrel from the frame and de-lead it. I have never owned a pistol that leaded up as much and in such a short period of time as this one does. Other than the extra work involved in cleaning the gun, I find it a pleasure to shoot.
Any other folks out there experience similar issues?
My wife has the sr 22, owned it for about a year. We do just a basic cleaning after each range visit never had a buildup problem. Might be your ammo, we use federal, blaser and Cci with no problems.
We have about 1000 rounds through our sr22 and just cleaned it for the first time.. There was a lot of residue but the gun was still shooting like a champ.. I think that is the nature of 22s..

The Bully is the latest custom ride to roll out of the shop of Deus Ex Machines, and it is a typically high quality motorcycle. Australian based Deus Ex Machines has been in the custom game for ages and the experience of the company tells on The Bully. The guys took a wrecked Buell Lightening X1and transformed it into a stunning looking, low hugging café racer.
The Bully has gone through quite the transformation to get from the X1 to the beauty you see before you. The bike has been given a custom subframe and swingarm and now boasts some slick new features such as an aluminum fuel tank. Also given the aluminum treatment is the seatpan, and as you can probably see a K&N air filter has been added.
