Since you are mine
I shall not do anything else to undermine
our relationship for personal
or egotistical
Now and forever
I am your lawful and loving wife…

Obsessed with the thought of you
wondering if it's only me or
if you sometimes remember the sweet things you've said
and if you meant them how I took them
or if I'm just obsessed with what's in your head
Obsessed with your very sentences
Every response I take personal
I know it's selfishness
Have you not noticed my eyes?
They hold secrets that only you can unlock
if you'd just take time to fill the thick juices of my pride
It's just boiling with lust, passion, trust and distrust
and other things I obsess over so much
I find myself writing to free myself from this prison I've created
where only you and I reside
I become confused about what I'm really feeling inside and I
try to rid the thoughts that are highly debated as false and I
begin to cry and
think of casting love spells so that the universe can deliver this affair
I know it's unfair
but I don't care
I'm obsessed with what hasn't happened between us
I'm obsessed with your heart and that the fact that
I don't think you've even noticed my selfish innuendos
and secret undertones that blatantly express my lust
Or maybe you have and you calmly remain in resistance of distrust
If you could only read my mind by simply touching my fingertips,
I'm sure I'd catch you out the corner of my eye biting your bottom lip
I'm obsessed with the passion and thoughts I think you have
Obsessing over an experience that I may never have....

A slight hint of consternation was in her voice,
"Why did you tell those people I'm deaf and dumb?"
"I never said you were deaf, my Dear."
She laughed, but I kinda felt like a bum.
Hell. It was just a joke.
One evening, she asked, "Will you love me if I get chubby?"
I responded, "Of course I still love you.
It would take much more than pounds and cellulite
To make me fall out of love…it's true."
Hell. It was just a joke.
"Would you remarry if I die before you?" she asked.
I said, "No…probably not…I've been spoiled by you."
"But you've been a great husband. I think you should."
"Whatever happens, happens is the best I can do."
"If you remarried, would you play golf with your new wife?
And would you let her use my clubs?" she demanded.
I calmly smiled and said, "Your clubs are safe.
You see, my Dear…she's left handed."
Hell. It was just a joke.
Then, she whined and whined about her butt.
I responded, "Want to knock some inches off that ass?
It may sound strange, but I heard it works….
Rinse all your panties in Slim Fast."
Hell. It was just a joke.
The next day, I readied for work, took 'undies' from my drawer.
They were engulfed in a fog of white, why I didn't know.
So, I asked, "Honey! Why did you put talcum powder on my shorts?"
She slyly smiled, "That's not talcum powder. That's Miracle Gro."
Hell. It was just a joke....I guess.
So, what is my wife's most endearing feature?
Her sense of humor.... there's no doubt.
Always a smile where angst or anger might have been,
A smile I never want to be without.

Here he comes, bringing up the rear
So proud to be one of the guys
Blowing me kisses drenched in beer
As he wolfs down several pies
One tortured attempt at a promising leer
Whilst he fumbles with his flies
He's no idea that I'm sat here
Planning my goodbyes!

Thank you – Zamreen Zarook
Thank you is a sweet word in the nature,
You may be a guy of adventure,
May be you are a person of agriculture,
What matters is your architecture.
Never forget the people, who guided you,
In no degree neglect who were with you,
Don't ever overlook a creature, who gave a smile to you,
Because, you will meet them above you.
People forget the past due to selfishness,
They have no time to remember their unawareness,
Society, most of the times behave in awfulness,
They will understand when their lives come in to bitterness.
Be a person to thank and remember,
Don't consider them as December,
Because, you might need them in November,
So, always be as a good subscriber.

We have been together
treasured joy now for many years
we trust each other with our
emotions, with affection, tears,
Any day when you are sick or hurting
I feel your pain - significant other,
when eighter-one needs attention
we help one another...
These mutual friendly feelings
for assistance, approval, support
form our tight bonds,
usually never broken
Sharing visions, time together
we respect each other,
regardless of shortcomings
I know you, "I love you anyway"

I was just trying to remember the past
trying to remember the good people
and the bad people,
that i came across on my way,
i want you to know
that you are among the good people
that left a good trace in my life,
once again i just want to say thank you
for passing through my life,
is so short but is wonderful
i want you here forever.

It's a mother-in-law's right, her prerogative
To 'drop in' on her son almost any time,
But a mother-in-law should always be prepared
For almost anything she may find.
So, Mother Cready dropped in unannounced;
But as she approached her son's front door,
Suddenly it opened. "Ta Da! Do you like my happy dress?"
His young wife stood there in her 'all in all'…nothing more.
"Oh, my word!" Mother Cready exclaimed with surprise.
"Why are you naked? Are you insane?"
Just as surprised, the young wife pulled her inside.
"Please, Mother Cready…if you'll just let me explain.
You see, when Mac has had a rough day,
When he's been under a lot of stress,
Sometimes I meet him at the door
With a smile and a kiss in my happy dress.
It always relaxes him and makes him happy,
Then he makes me very happy too.
It works for Mac and me, Mother Cready;
Maybe it would work for you."
"We're too old for such." scoffed Mother Cready.
"Perhaps if we were young like the two of you."
But, on her way home, she decided
She was definitely going to try it too.
So, she bathed and put on some nice perfume,
Fixed her make-up and her hair.
She was thinking some very sexy thoughts,
But she had to hurry…no time to spare.
She heard her husband's car in the driveway;
And as he approached their front door,
She threw it open. "Ta Da! Do you like my happy dress?"
She stood there in her 'all in all'…nothing more.
She saw a little grimace cross his face,
But that was not the worst.
Then he said, "I appreciate your happy dress, my dear;
But maybe you should have ironed it first."
"Well…your 'happy dress' could use some ironing;
But my birthday suit could use some starch."
He kissed her. "Bet you and I can work it out.";
And off to bed they marched.
I want you..
And I was made just for you
I'll make love to you
All the night with you
Feel my heart that burns in fire
Look my eyes that full of desire
As our bodies ignite in passion
Our souls chain in a strong union
Carressing every part of you
Gives me satisfaction
Dancing in the hymn of love
That just the two of us can hear it loud
Nothing seperate me from you
No one could make me feel like the way you do
Our passion for each other binds us together
And our love for each other makes us FOREVER!

My love, your breath, fresh as a spring breeze,
Caresses my face, with a wondrous tone,
As your sweet lips, approach mine, we moan.
For expectation, of such pleasurable tease,
For there is no time, for emotions to please,
Our brief moments, are barely, only a loan.
For passion delivers, future beautifully alone,
Our ecstasies of movements together, appease.
After spring, before the heat of summer time,
Our ardor grows; grows within each heart.
Our touch, Heavens blessing, to each other,
These moments, hours, days have no crime.
Together forever, our souls, never part,
Our spirits are free, to love; never smother.

We took each other for better or worse, til death do us part.
Little did we know, instead it would end with a bleeding heart.
Today the final papers were signed
Hoping it will give us final peace of mind.
You were the man that could do no wrong.
The husband that I thought would be lifelong.
The affection and friendship has now fled.
And now we will have new lives instead.
Bitterness and resentment are in each other's eyes,
While we both try to forget the deceit and the lies.
We both don't understand and are quick to blame.
But really what happened is that you extinguished the flame.
There is a season for everything, this is an irreversible conclusion.
Could it be that our happiness was just an illusion?
Anticipation for a new life awaits, on that we both agree.
God has a new plan for me…this decree has set me free!

someone always told me this with tears in her eyes...
(for Lata Sethi's late-mother, who was my mother's 'sister' and who took us all into her heart, and for Lata and Ravi Sethi of Defence Colony, New Delhi)
a wife left South Africa in the 1960's to join her husband
who was in exile at the time...
in 1970 the husband was sent by the African National Congress to India to be its representative there...
the husband and wife spent two years in Bombay...
one afternoon the husband fell and broke his leg...
the wife knocked on their neighbour's door, in an apartment complex in Bombay
the neighbour was an old Punjabi lady...
the wife asked the neighbour for a doctor to see to the injured husband...
a Parsi 'Bone-Setter' was promptly summoned...
the husband still recalls his anxiety of seeing 'Bone-Setter' written on the Parsi gentleman's bag...
by the way, the 'Bone-Setter' worked his ancient craft and surprisingly for the husband, his broken leg healed quite soon...
but still on that day, while the 'Bone-Setter' was seeing to the husband...
the wife and the old Punjabi lady from next door got to talking about this and that and where these new Indian-looking wife and husband were from as their accents were clearly not local...
the wife told the elderly Punjabi lady that the husband worked for the African National Congress of South Africa and had left to serve the ANC from exile...
and that they had left their two children behind in South Africa and that they were now essentially political refugees...
the Punjabi lady broke down and wept uncontrollably...
she told the foreign woman that she too had had to leave her home in Lahore in 1947 and flee to India with only the clothes on her back when the partition of the subcontinent took place and Pakistan was formed and at a time when Hindus from Pakistan fled to India and vice versa...
the Punjabi lady then asked the foreign woman her name...
'Zubeida', but you can call me 'Zubie'...
the Punjabi woman hugged Zubie some more, and the two women, seperated by age and geography, wept, sharing a shared pain...
the Punjabi woman told Zubie that she was her 'sister' from that day on, and that she felt that pain of exile and forced migration and what being a refugee felt like...
Zubie and her husband Mosie became the closest of friends with the Hindu Punjabi neighbours who were kicked out of Pakistan by Muslims...
then came the time for Mosie and Zubie to leave for Delhi where the African National Congress office was based...
the elderly Punjabi lady and Mosie and Zubie said their goodbyes...
a year or two later, the elderly Punjabi lady's daughter Lata married Ravi Sethi and the couple moved to Delhi...
the elderly Punjabi lady called Zubie and told her that her daughter was coming to Delhi to live and that she had told Lata, her daughter that she had a 'sister' in Delhi...
Lata and Ravi Sethi then moved to Delhi...
This was in the mid-1970's...
Lata and Zubie became the closest of friends and that bond stayed true, and stays true till today, though Zubie is no more, and the elderly Punjabi lady is no more...
the son and the husband still have a bond with Lata and Ravi Sethi...
a bond that was forged between Hindu and Muslim and between two continents across the barriers of creed and time...
a bond strong and resilient, forged by the pain and trauma of a shared experience...
and that is why, and I shall never stop believing this, that hope shines still, for with all the talk of this and of that, and of that and of this, there will always be a simple woman, somewhere, anywhere, who would take the 'other' in as a sister, a fellow human...
and that is why there will always be hope...
hope in the midst of this and of that and of that and of this...
(for Lata Sethi's late-mother, who was my mother's 'sister' and who took us all into her heart, and for Lata and Ravi Sethi of Defence Colony, New Delhi)
He is my fortress and my strength
His love he has proven at length
In times of sickness and in times of health
He has remained open not stealth.
In youth we loved passionately
With children we loved affectionately
In middle age we loved calmly
With age we love patiently.
Many decades we leave behind us
Yet a few decades remain ahead of us
We are free to say what is on our mind
Knowing we've survived the test of time.
When money we had little of
When children were ill
When we were hurt by family or friends –
When one was ill, the other thrived
we held on
so neither was ever left behind.
This is the legacy we leave
Not of a love that is divine
But of a love that has ridden the roller coaster ride
And survived.

I call it a blessing from above
And I know everyone wants this to have
Everyone is looking for it
But only few can found it
I'm lucky I'm one of that few
And I've been blessed to found true love in you
It's like a dream came true
To be loved by the guy I loved too
To you,I felt the undefined happiness
For me,for all the guys you are the best!
And I want you to stay for the rest of my life
Coz' I really need someone like you in my life
I consider you as a blessing sweetheart
So I give to you my sincere HEART
I love you forever
And I hope that God will guide us to be together..forever
OH The flutter of my heart
When you asked me to marry
With your smile and manner
and with such poise and grace
Our shared days of laughter
and our late nights of whispers
Of our life in the future
with never a departure
We share an endless love
with our thoughts becoming one
Making dreams a reality
a precious gift from above
Our hearts are like gold
Our souls are like diamonds
I love you my husband
from young and to old.
T Reams for my sweet Husband

What Does Marriage Mean to YOU?
What all hear various definitions
of what marriage means.
Not realizing the consequences
this often brings!
There's often a lack of commitment and faithfulness.
Many still looking for a true source of happiness!
This institution, that God set up as a husband and wife.
Needs to have his spirit,
to guide our life!
It's no wonder why, there's many falling apart!
It's causing heartache and many broken hearts!
No court in the land can wash away sin's dark stain.
When adultery happens, things aren't the same!
May we all seek to ask God
to strengthen our home!
He's there to help us!
When we feel all alone!
We need the blood of Jesus to daily cleanse us!
He wants to do this! Because he loves us!
Jesus remains committed, faithful and strong!
His word will teach us what's right and wrong!
May we seek HIS guidance and council!
You'll find, that he is always most helpful!
Please Jesus… Heal the broken families
across this nation!
For only you can provide
a much needed foundation!

Charming as a Libra, understanding and supportive. I'm here to assist him in all his efforts. His artistic ability and his decisiveness personality. He is as sensitive as a cancer, he wears his emotions like a banner. Inspired by his own feelings his heart is precious. Restless like a Sagittarius able to adapt to any environment. Spontaneous as a Aquarius very intellectual experience. Very down to earth like a Taurus. His love has sentimental value making him a little jealous if another guy catches my eye, turning him into a Gemini. His two faces comes in handy dealing with my fantasies. Loving me like a Pisces recharging my energy, similarity in expressing his dreams to me. Appealing as an Aries always physically busy. His restless energy keeps the flame burning. Characteristics like a Capricorn always striving to reach his goals. Very accomplished from the things he learned. His loyalty proves he loves me. Compatibility long lasting. Stubborn as a Scorpio guarded by his emotions, his attachment to me is undeniable. His love is magical. Praising his talents like a Virgo, he's able to adapt to people. He makes love like a Leo, he cling to his pride like an soaring eagle. He is the king of the jungle, he can portray any mask true chameleons. That's why I love him, the one and only zodiac man

I can act insane
But DO NOT
Make me feel worthless
I belong in God's family
He will bless my future generation
Don't punish me for
Being myself –
Don't envy my glee
I can act like an
Adult, but I'd
Prefer to have joy…
Not stress…
That piles upon us in our
Everyday lives
Being childlike is
A rare beauty –
No one prizes it…
No one came across it…
In this lifetime…
I can laugh all day
I can make you smile
If you'd accept my
Childlike dreams of mine
Don't treat me like a sick swine
Renew my young heart
Give me the ability
To kill the old man…
I have my place in God's family
He'll be adored and glorified
We'll exchange prayers and hugs
By my future generation
I beg of you –
Don't kill my childlike mentality
I'll behave myself…
I'm positively sure that I'll make you happy
I'll still have pieces of a child in me
And pass it on to my future generation…

The Intensifying love story by
I simply adore you, my Mesmerizing
As you are my first love.
Who lighted my heart with full of pride and
Who ignited the ecstasy towards lovely life.
Who relieved my pains and took sorrows
as boon.
You made me fall sick in your love when I
see your madness.
I like the way,
The way you gazed at me and my smoky
The way you smiled at my mystifying and
enigmatic appeal.
The way you every time praises me.
The way you galvanized me and proved
the meaning of life.
You are the one,
Yes, you are the one who aroused my
feelings, my emotions.
Yes, you are the one who explored my
passion of love, flaming in my charismatic
Yes, you are the lovely treasure which god
had baptized me.
Yes, you are the one who turned the page
of my life.
Eureka, I found my true love!!!!
Bewilderedly I did not know, where is my
love taking me to ??
But still I like the way,
Like, the way you clutched me into your

Like, the way you rubbed your fingers on
my lips.
Like, the way you tickled me on my neck.
Like, the way you squeezed my cheeks.
Like, the way you holded me up towards
the sky.
Like, the way when you inspired me to fly
so high.
Tears dropped from my eyes and the very
next moment I realized that it is my
sensational love. My true love. Then I
decided that no one had right to do this
except you. If you want to know the
reason?? If yes??
Yes, because I seriously fell in love with
Yes, because you are the one to whom god
had assigned me to.
And here comes the Swifted instance
When, the moment you wore the golden

indicating the herald of the marriage. It
means a lot for any girl in this amazing

And till my last breathe, my heart beats,
beating for you, only for you SUYOG!!
In fervour I wanted you to be mine forever,
We both sojourned in each other soul so
deeply that we just can't wait for a single
second, unless and until, we share what is
running in our mind. It's just because we
are so much accustomed to each other
I Love you, adore you, adore you forever
my Love.

Spoken softy on the breeze
lightly touching my senses
Breath as soft as you please
leaving me feeling defenseless.
Morning kisses on my cheek
with sleepy eyes a smiling
Your touch I longing seek
giving each day a silver lining.
Snuggled close at this late hour
peaceful and ever so content
Only you hold over me this power
you are where I want my life spent.
Simple pleasures make me complete
like little glances over your shoulder
A quick glance from you cant be beat
as we both gracefully grow older.

Here I sit, uncertain of what lies ahead.
I'm still wondering how my family will be fed.
I once had a job that provided a sense of "security."
Now I don't… And I have a lot of uncertainty!
I have unpaid bills, and I'm not sure what to do.
I've asked for help. But not sure who to turn to!
I get discouraged, and feel life "pulling me down."
I've tried just about every job that's in town.
The dreams I had, have been shattered and smashed.
At times, I feel like I'm just "a piece of trash."
My wife tried to support me, the best that she can.
But she doesn't know me… Or even understands!
Dear Jesus… You're the only left that I haven't tried.
There's been many nights I laid awake and cried!
I read in the Bible, where your love for me is real!
When I call on your name... There's a love I can feel!
Whatever happens, please help me Lord, to trust you!
Whatever tomorrow holds, may I still love you!
I know that you're a foundation, that I can stand on!
Jesus is a friend! That I can always depend on!
Jesus, if I lose everything that I have or that I hold on to...
My I always remember your faithfulness
and never forget you!
Here I stand… With my burdens lifted from me!
It's because of Jesus! And how much he loves me!
I praise HIS name! And lift my hands to the sky!
He's in control now! I don't have to ask the reason why!
Jesus… Please take control of my worries and desires!
Above all of my problems, I lift your name up higher!
By Jim Pemberton
I caress you in my arms
and your beauty alarms me...
your soft skin disarms me
and your musical voice charms me...
I lose myself within you
everytime our lovemaking begins a new...
And I knew in that moment
that I had to vent my sentiments
I love you and my essence would plead too
that I drink you, I eat you, and I breath you
...I need you!...

As a moth attracts to a flame,
I became; blinded by his blaze.
Leaving me wounded and dazed,
On the battle Ground is where we remain.
Leaking trust like a weak bladder,
Discharging accusations like violent explosions, of gunpowder.
Not believing in the love, I have for him,
Leaving Blood splats all over the arena.
Bleeding blood shot eyes.
Everything I have to say, he takes as lies.
Having no mercy for the man before me,
I become the predator.
Breaking up just to make up, crazy to others but works for us.
Love and war for the man I adore,
Late night bickering in engage peevish arguing.
Skirmish conflicts leading to intimate kisses,
of the battle of the sexes.
Some loving is what I really wanted.
Sexually yielding complying with the request of his desires, I admire.
I lay down on the battleground, surrendering my rights while he continues to play fight.
Lieutenant in his presence,
next in rank to my captain.
In love with his persistent makes me pursue this.
Never having to fight for his attention,
He gives me everything I been missing.
As he is taking charge, I am pinned up against the wall.
He is my personal lifeguard, my body as the main yard.
My love is the trump card.
Battling to death almost out of breath as the words I am sorry lay our problems to rest.
Until next time with our bipolar tendencies, he loves and dislikes me.
I like your love
It's pure, it's innocent
and I don't think I've seen this before
You replenish my reserves before it's necessary
you lift my wings up and
make me superior to my adversary
Creatively providing the exact amount of
what I need to go another day
I like your love
and for as long as you'll have me I'll stay
You make me comfortable in my space
What she share cannot be replaced
with any other type of love
be it artificial or tainted or lustfully blatant
Those illusions don't exist because
we found this love and we claimed it
I cherish those nights when I scratch your head
When you sit between my thighs and I twist your dreads
We become an us that is so pure
that the spring waters question the purity of it's source
I like your love - it's a divine force
Baby, you remind me of a bunny,
sweet loyal and trustworthy
you always make life funny
when we're not together, i miss you badly,
you notice things no other man bothers to notice,
when i look into your blue eyes i see the true me,
my exes made me feel worthless
that's why i believe in our family,
when we speak i feel the love
when you smile at me i could swim in your dimples
our hands fit together as snug as gloves
and one hug from you makes life seem simple
I'm so happy you are my boyfriend
i never want this relationship to end.

Pondering through the pages of time
folded and saved in the book of my mind.
Glancing at and seeing true all the things
we have been together through.
Stronger now than we ever were before
streaming life into us without ever having
to close a door. So much love we have
shared, for ever love and forever care.
Each time I turn a page, I see you and all
I needed in good times and in times of hurt
that deeply felt like a rumbling rage.
You brought stillness to me, so that through
the darkness I could so fearlessly see and
never leaving a broken page.
When I close my minds book, I know deep
inside I will find you each time I look.
So sacred this book is to me, for I know
that with you, I shall always want to be.

My love for you is eternal
My Sweetest husband I will always cherish you
You always make me smile and laugh your my best friend,
A husband and a friend that i can trust, your the one that makes my life complete your the sun that's shine on me, your my colorfull summer and spring, your the one I will always choose to spend my life with.

They said we'd never make it
They said we would not last
And though we've had it rough, dear
For us, the dye's long been cast
They don't seem to understand it
They don't have a single clue
That though we have our problems
There is a magic glue
A glue so rare and precious
A glue so exquisitely fine
Forged out of our young love
Making you forever mine
We have a precious daughter
She is the forever bond
The union of our souls is she
Of whom you are so fond
Today as I watched you sleep
I longed to kiss you awake
With passion dipped words to say:
"Wake up, sweet love let's make!"
And so I teased and I pleased you
Laid your head on my bare breast
I smiled at myself for I knew
That would bring on all the rest
I was not disappointed
You made me scream and sign
With techniques tried and true
You took me to the heavens high
And now you're getting older
You're climbing the ladder of time
Remember when you're old and grey
I'll still think you are sublime!

A Little Background:
I wrote this some time ago for my husband, but I added to it to post it today. I met him when we were twelve, he asked me out at 14, I accepted him at 17 when I came back from the States, I married him at 26. We were neighbors, but our families were rivals of sorts. Regular Montegues and Capulets. His parents threatened to disown him if he married me. He was willing to go through the risk. This explains the beginning of the poem. It's been twenty years now. We are still together. The Title of the poem, a song by Sheena Easton, was "Our SONG."

San Jose police arrested a 25-year-old child care worker on suspicion of inappropriately touching five girls during their after-school program at Trace Elementary School, and now detectives are investigating whether there were more possible victims.
Keith Woodhouse, of San Jose, is in custody with no bail at Santa Clara County Jail.
Santa Clara County prosecutors on Friday charged Woodhouse with 14 counts of lewd acts on a child younger than 14. San Jose police first got the case Jan. 19.
Since August, Woodhouse has been working for the Child Development Center, which operates an after-school program on the Trace campus.
Deputy district attorney Steve Fein said five girls, all younger than 10, complained that Woodhouse touched them inappropriately and all the touching was done in a classroom setting.
Fein said each count carries a possible maximum prison sentence of 15 years to life.
Woodhouse has been assigned to the Public Defender's Office, which did not respond to a call seeking comment. A message left at the Woodhouse family home was not immediately returned.
Omeed Adib, a Child Development Center site supervisor, said he'd been asked by police not to divulge much information about Woodhouse or the allegations.
He did say that all Child Development Center employees undergo a criminal-background check before working with children, and that Woodhouse had passed that standard check. Adib added that a letter was sent to the parents of the approximately 60 students who participate in the after-school program. And child care workers have been speaking with parents at drop-off and pickup about what happened, in general terms. The parents' reactions have ranged from understanding to fear to rage, Adib said.
Police also said Woodhouse has worked with children in San Jose and Los Angeles since 1999. He has been a camp counselor, a day care teacher and has worked in Sunday school ministries. Detectives say they are hoping that any more families who think their children may have been victims come forward.
Elizabeth Leamy, a parent at Trace whose children do not attend the after-school care program, said the entire school community has been notified about what happened at Child Development Center. She credited the police and after-school care providers for acting swiftly and professionally in what is a very "concerning" matter.
"It just makes you remember that you need to be diligent in what your children are involved in, and who they're involved with," she said.
Contact Lisa Fernandez at 408-920-5002.
Anyone with information was asked to contact Detective Eric Martin or Detective Sgt. Schriefer of the Child Exploitation Detail at 408-277-4102. Anyone who wants to remain anonymous can call the Crime Stoppers tip line at 408-947-STOP (7867), or visit http://svcrimestoppers.org/.

Tomatoes are on the menu
Tomatoes are on the menu this week, featuring the winning recipes from the Historic Lewes Farmers Market Great Tomato Recipe Contest. The Tomato Festival at the market last Saturday welcomed over 3,800 visitors who enjoyed sampling different tomato varieties and guessing how many tomatoes were in that very large jar.
It's always a surprise when the winner is announced; it seems so unlikely someone could guess the exact number of tomatoes of various sizes packed into the tall glass container. This year, Anne Mathay correctly guessed 332, while some of her competitors were off by as much as 100 tomatoes.
The judges for the Recipe Contest were an impressive collection of executive chefs and owners representing several of the area's finest restaurants. Shown are (l-r) Aaron Berg, The Buttery; Bill Clifton, Henlopen City Oyster House; yours truly, Cape Gazette columnist; Ian Crandall of Kindle; and Jay Caputo of Espuma, Rose & Crown and Water Ice Shack.
All the dishes entered in the recipe contest were arranged on a nearby table, protected by mesh food cover domes that resembled open umbrellas. Before the judges started tasting, the dish would be brought over so we could see it before slices or spoonfuls were served.
The contest was divided into three different categories: appetizers, entrees and desserts. We were asked to judge them on how well tomato starred in the dish, whether fresh market products were included as ingredients, presentation and overall taste.
Becky Hamill's Yellow Gazpacho won first place overall in the contest and first place in the appetizers. She offered a unique presentation: covered bowls adorned with green plastic spoons and served with a lucite box filled with diced vegetable garnish and tomato-dust croutons. The recipe below shares the secret to maintaining the soup's golden color - vegetable flavors from peppers, cucumber and onion are added through an infusion.
Of the entries in the popular dessert category, Harry Keyser's Tomato Jam Cookies won second place overall and first in the group of treats. Sweet jam offered hints of spice from Poblano chili and crushed fennel seed. The jam's rich texture was the perfect complement to a buttery, rosemary-threaded shortbread.
The judges agreed the tastiest among the entrees was Richard Scalenghe's Triple Tomato Salad, which earned third place overall and first place in his category. Tomato three ways included fresh, dried and as the backbone of a savory dressing. Market produce ingredients included fresh basil, bread, Swiss chard, and of course, tomatoes. The clever assembly gave each flavor and texture a chance to shine.
As you may imagine, visitors to the market milled around the leftovers, hoping for a taste of the beautifully plated and inventively created entries. Thank you to the winners for sharing your recipes and thanks to the market for giving me a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning.
Becky Hamill's Yellow Gazpacho
12 yellow tomatoes
3 t olive oil
2 celery stalks
1/3 green pepper
1/2 red pepper
1 seeded, peeled cucumber
1/4 Vidalia onion
1 large garlic clove
2 slices stale bread
1 T red wine vinegar
salt & pepper, to taste
dash of celery salt
splash of hot sauce
Place tomatoes and some of the olive oil in a blender or the bowl of a food processor without overcrowding. Puree until smooth and repeat with remaining tomatoes. Pour tomato puree into a large bowl; set aside. Chop remaining ingredients into chunks and place on a piece of cheesecloth large enough to hold them. Tie the bundle and place in the soup to refrigerate overnight. Remove the vegetable bundle the next morning, allowing the juices to drain into the soup. Return the soup to the blender or food processor; tear the bread into chunks and add to soup. Process until completely smooth. Season to taste with remaining ingredients. Serve with diced vegetables and tomato-dust croutons as garnish.
Tomato-Dust Croutons
2 slices dense bread
1 T butter
1 T olive oil
tomato powder
Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut bread into small cubes; set aside. Melt butter in an ovenproof skillet and add olive oil. Toss bread cubes into skillet and shake until coated. Arrange cubes in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crunchy. While still warm, shake tomato powder over cubes, tossing until well dusted.
Harry Keyser's Tomato Jam Cookies
1 C sugar
4 lbs tomatoes, cored and sliced
juice and zest of 1 lemon
1/2 t cinnamon
1 minced Poblano chili
1/2 t toasted, then crushed fennel seed
2 C flour
1/4 C cornmeal
1/2 t salt
1 C butter
2/3 C sugar
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 T minced rosemary
Preheat oven to 400 F. Spread 1/3 C sugar on the bottom of a Dutch oven. Cover with one-third of sliced tomatoes, lemon zest, cinnamon, chili and fennel. Repeat, reserving lemon juice for the top layer. Cook, uncovered in the middle of the oven. Continue cooking, checking every 30 minutes until all liquid has evaporated, about 2 hours. Whisk together flour, cornmeal and salt in a mixing bowl; set aside. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Mix in egg yolks and rosemary, then add flour mixture. Shape into two logs, about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic and chill for 90 minutes. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 F. Slice logs into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange in a single layer on cookie sheets. Bake for 11 minutes; allow to cool before spreading with tomato jam.
Richard Scalenghe's Triple Tomato Salad
1/4 C seasoned rice wine vinegar
1/2 C olive oil
4 chopped sun-dried tomatoes
8 basil leaves
salt & pepper, to taste
4 large heirloom tomatoes
1 bunch Swiss chard
1/2 loaf country bread
olive oil
6 sliced sun-dried tomatoes
basil sprigs for garnish
Combine vinegar, 1/2 C olive oil, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and basil in a blender. Process until completely blended; season to taste with salt and pepper. Roughly chop the heirloom tomatoes into pieces. Place in a serving bowl and pour in half the dressing. Toss gently to combine; set aside for 1 hour. Preheat grill. Rinse chard and remove stems below leaf. Spread on the grill and cook until slightly charred; remove to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, remove center rib and tear leaves into pieces. Remove crust from bread and tear into pieces large enough to not fall through the grill grate. Brush bread with olive oil to lightly coat. Grill until golden, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add chard, bread and sliced sun-dried tomatoes to bowl of marinated tomatoes. Drizzle with remaining dressing and toss to combine. Garnish with basil sprigs.

We will be driving from Fairfield County, CT to Charleston in a few weeks and I need some suggestions for the best route. Traveling with me is my mom, my 2 boys, my sister and her son.
Since my mother hates 95 and wants to avoid as much of it as possible, she wants to cross the Tappan Zee and take I 81 South which seems like a great idea. My dilemna is this; Where should we cut back over to 95? Route 270/70 in Maryland which would put us on to 495 around D.C. before hitting 95; or take 66 to 95 intersecting 95 just below Washington; Or Rte. 64 intersecting 95 in Richmond.
Will the D.C. construction affect the first option? I'm looking for the easiest route that might have the added bonus for a great place to stop-off for an hour to stretch our legs and let the kids move around a little. Does anyone know of a park, museum, cute little town, caverns, etc. that might fit the bill along one of these routes? We are hoping to make it to Rocky Mount N.C. by dark to stay over. I know I'm asking for a lot of help so I appreciate it. Thanks so much!

How much time do you have?
If you have lots, try this:
Tappen Zee to Garden State Parkway to Delaware Memorial Bridge. After the Bridge turn "left" off I95 onto Rt 13 to Cheasapeake Bay Bridge and go down Eastern Shore of Delmarva Peninsula. Stay somewhere between Newark and the Bridge (make reservations if traveling on a weekend in summer).
Go over Ches Bay Bridge and then thru Norfolk to Rt 17 South. This will take you all the way to Charleston. You will pass thru "Smithfield Ham" county, peanut country, and the coastal plain of NC. In SC you go by Myrtle Beach. Just above Georgetown, SC there is a great Park (Brookgreen Gardens) worth a trip. If you really want an adventure, go over to Dillon SC and stay at South of the Border.
This trip will be long but avoids all the "big cities" i.e. Baltimore, Washington, etc.

John's coastal road suggestion is intriguing (if you have lots of time, since your average speed might be 45 MPH or less).
However, I have never heard anyone recommend South of the Border for anything. I believe it is almost universally considered an eyesore, but perhaps I am missing something. Or perhaps John has a devious sense of humor!
Report Abuse
South of the Border is the quintiscential trashy/honky tonk. I grew up in SC and witnessed the political hastling (and corruption) to route I 95 so there was an interchange near SOB. Previously Rt 1 and 601 were the main North South highways and SOB was built on the border of SC/NC, hence South of the Border. They have succeeded thru incrediible advertizing on billboards up and down the East coast.
For those unaware, it is a collection of trashy tourist shops/motels/restaurants/attractions.
You either hate it or love it for what it is. I have SOB bumper stickers on all my cars (and I live in Boston).

Thanks for the replies. Since we need to be in Charleston by very early afternoon of the second day to meet someone, we don't have time to meander down 17. I planned on staying in Rocky Mount N.C. the first night which would put us about 5 hours from Charleston.
Can anyone comment on the options I asked about in my original post? Which is the fastest/easiest route of the three that may also have an interesting rest stop along the way?
Oh by the way, when I was a child my family drove to Florida and we started seeing signs for "South of the Border" literally hundreds of miles away from it. All of us kids begged our parents to stop there and we couldn't wait to get there. What a disappointment! It was at that moment that I learned the meaning of the word "tacky". It is something of an Icon though and we got quite a laugh out of it. I can't believe it still exists! That had to be over 30 years ago. Thanks for bringing back some nostalgia of our long ago family road trips.

Take I-81 to Harrisburg, PA. Then go on to US 15 and head south.
Along the way you will come to the Catocin Zoo (http://www.cwpzoo.com/) which may be a nice stop. It is a little cute zoo and right along US 15.
Or, you will not be far from Gettysburg, which you can tour the battlefield by car.
You can take US 15 a ways south, then take US 17 (I believe) to Fredericksburg, VA to pick up I-95.
The other suggestion on the Bay Bridge is a good one. You can stop at Chincoteague where they have the wild ponies.
We've driven from the Northeast to Florida at least 25 times (round trip), always looking for some way to avoid I-95. I have to tell you, though, I-95 is not bad any longer. It is always the fastest route, even through DC. I-295 now goes around Richmond and is a breeze. If you compare I-95 to I-81, there isn't much difference, IMHO. We've done both more than a few times. Both are big interstates, have their share of trucks, similar hotels and shops along the way.
If you take I-81, you can stop off at some of the caverns. Luray Caverns (www.luraycaverns.com) may be a nice stop. Same with Natural Bridge (closer to the hwy) www.naturalbridgeva.com. These will make nice stops for the family to blow an hour or so.
If you are really "daring" - why don't you stop off in WAshington, DC for lunch. I'm serious. Stop by the Lincoln memorial or Jefferson Memorial. It is easy (really). One of our software programs routes us through DC center (I-395) to save time. It really does, surprisingly, and is easy to navigate. Plus, you can see DC before they start construction on the WWII memorial - which will change the mall forever.
You are the ideal candidate for one of the trip navigation software packages. We use Delorme to do many "what ifs". it lists attractions, calculates driving times, you can avoid specific roads (like I-95), and make many itineraries.
Have fun!

GOL - Thank you so much for your great information. I like the idea of stopping at the Natural Bridge. If we do how do we pick up 95? (I don't know where the Natural Bridge is). We stopped in D.C. last year on the same trip but it was a little difficult to do in a short period of time.
Also I appreciate the tip on that software, I didn't even know there was such a thing! Thanks again for all your help.

Take a look at a Virginia map. Natural Bridge is south of the major interstate that could cut across VA.
I looked at the map - it may be a fun drive to take some of the smaller roadways to 95 from Natural Bridge. Or, you can go to one of the Caverns that is North of the main interstate that will cut over to I-95.
We took some smaller state roads recently and found them uncongested and fast. Not many lights or slow down points.

WE just did the drive from MA...we did via Cape May NJ, stayed at a B&B then...took the ferry to Deleware...stopped in Williamsburg VA then continued on to Hilton Head SC...Route 95 is the worst road I've ever been on!!! There are blown out truck tires everywhere....not to mention the trucks!
Rest stops on 95: North Carolina rest stop is excellent...plenty of room to roam...SC rest stop is not as good...some of the rest stops are really the pits....good luck...seems to me Maryland rest stop was good, too.
I'd also avoid Washington DC area...we stopped off in Washington on the way back...
Good luck...next time we'll fly definitely.....

I am wondering too which way to go. I am traveling from Connecticut to Myrtle Beach and tossing up going I95 or 81. I've heard horror stories regarding DC, but also heard 81 is waayyy out of the way. Plan to drive straight through so want quickest time and maybe suggestions about timing with traffic. (planning on leaving either late Friday or wee hours of the morning on Sat. Thanks!!
Report Abuse
I haven't driven that whole route myself, but I would suggest if you decide to take 81 north of DC, it's probably a good idea to avoid DC traffic. Google maps suggests the best route using 81 is to stay on it all the way to 77 (down by Blacksburg). Note that 81 is somewhat notorious for being used by truckers a lot (also, if you have an ez-pass you can use at all the tolls down through Va. at least).
Report Abuse
Stay on 81 to 77 or get off on 64 to go to I-95 at Richmond.
Many trucks on both routes, better scenery on 77.
If you take 77, you obviously won't spend the night in Rocky Mount, but then there is no reason to stop in Rocky Mount except that it is there.
Google maps shows an hour more driving time via 77, but it is much less likely to be as stressful, and if you hit DC after 3 PM, you can add 2 hours to the I-95 route.
Report Abuse
Take I81 south to I77. Take I77 south to and through Charlotte, then to Columbia SC . Take I26 from Columbia to Charleston.
From Charltotte to Charleston it is 4 hours. We drove to the Poconos/NJ area from Charlotte in about 10 hours. Just trying to give you some idea of time. I81 and I77 intersect about 2 hours north of Charlotte at Fort Chiswell/Wytheville. There are a lot of motels in that area. There is VERY little south of there until you get to just north of Charlotte. Not even much in the way of eating--just came through there!!
There is VERY little to hold you up, except an accident on this route.
Report Abuse
If you use I-64 to cut back to I-95 you will be going right by Charlottesville and can visit Monticello and/or the University of Virginia campus including the Rotunda. For a relatively quick stop, I'd to the latter, park and get a bite to eat at The Corner and take a stroll by the Rotunda and around the Lawn.
Report Abuse
Before you consider too many side trips or scenic roads, keep in mind that your "basic" trip (i.e., if you took the main/direct highways) is over 500 miles, which translates into 8+ hours not counting any stops.
Report Abuse
I am really amused by the people wanting to make this a "trip" rather than a "destination". There are myriad things to see between CT and Charleston. That wasn't the question!!
And Howard's "500 miles" are through the most congested part of the USA.
Please look at the I81/I77/I26 route. I DO think it will serve very well.
Report Abuse
Gretchen, I don't understand your point. This "congested" route is the most direct. Taking side roads makes the trip that much longer...even without any stops to look at sites!
Report Abuse
If you leave in the wee hours of Saturday morning, you should have very few problems even going straight through DC on 95.
Report Abuse
I think we will probably leave midnight on Friday to go I95 so not to hit DC traffic. We should be hitting DC around 5 or 6am and without any accidents, should be smooth sailing. Thanks for all your input
Report Abuse
If you go down I95 then cut over to Wilmington on I40 and take Route 17 south to MB.

Days Gone By 1912: FIRE BURNS M.M. LORING'S STORE, POST OFFICE
Excerpts taken from the Park Rapids Enterprise. These entries are taken verbatim to preserve the flavor of the stories. That includes spelling errors and often, missing names.

Fire last week at Hubbard: M.M. Loring's store, post office burn
On Thursday last the store and post office owned by M.M. Loring was burned.
The fire occurred about noon and was first discovered by parties in the store. The building was a one story frame, and was heated with a stove. The chimney between the ceiling and roof must have been defective, for the fire started above the ceiling and was not discovered until it burst thru into the room below.
Help was summoned at once, and attention was first given to saving the mail and post office equipment. This was practically all saved, but by the time it was removed the fire was falling thru the ceiling in several places and but little of the stock of goods contained in the building could be removed.
Mr. Loring carried a good stock of merchandise, and with the building his loss will amount to $4,000. He carried $2,000 insurance. The post office was moved into the building directly across the street, and Mr. Loring is taking care of that part of business as well as he can under the circumstances. It took a hard fight to save Mr. Loring's residence from the fire. The building stands only a few feet from the store building, and it was only by most determined efforts by a bucket brigade that the home was saved.

Auto ration plan now in effect here; Sale restricted for few groups
Rationing of automobile purchases went into effect here and in other communities throughout the state this week under stringent regulations, laid down by Price Administrator Leon Henderson, which will restrict car sales even more drastically than the allocations.
Sales of new passenger cars were stopped under a general "freezing" order that went into effect January 1.
Few persons will be able to buy cars, however, T.G. Driscoll, state director of commodity allocation, indicated. Only 2,503 new cars will be available for the whole state during March, April and May under quotas laid down by Henderson's office. Hubbard County's quota is 9 cars.

Kahlstorf Company Shop swept by $50,000 fire
Two serious fires in Hubbard County Tuesday caused damage estimated in excess of $65,000. The more serious of the two fires destroyed the Kahlstorf Construction Company repair shop located east of Lake George on Highway 71.
Elmer Kahlstorf estimated his loss in building and equipment in excess of $50,000. Earlier in the evening about 8:45 a large barn on the Albert Knutson farm, located about 4 miles west of Guthrie was destroyed, along with 200 head of sheep and about 500 bales of hay. Loss is estimated at about $15,000.

Vehicles traveling down Commercial Street will not be allowed to make a right onto Center Street for the near future as a result of a decision made by selectmen Monday night.
Vehicles traveling down Commercial Street will not be allowed to make a right onto Center Street for the near future as a result of a decision made by selectmen Monday night.
The area around the library has been a tangled mess during the construction project on the library exterior. Equipment and vehicles park on Commercial and Center streets, and a cyclone fence takes up the sidewalk along Commercial Street.
The request not to allow turns from Commercial Street onto Center Street was made by the town's library director, Cheryl Napsha.
"They can't see around the vehicles," she said. Napsha said she is seeing a lot of people starting to make the turn but then having to back out onto Commercial Street, because vehicles are coming down Center Street to make a right on Commercial. "It's sort of a game of chicken, plus the pedestrians. It's not a good mix at this time."
Town Manager Sharon Lynn agreed with the request.
The town will put up signs, and selectmen agreed to keep the no-right-turn in effect until Oct. 1, when the paid parking season ends, although selectmen expressed a desire to end the ban sooner, if possible. All construction and landscaping are expected to be completed in August.
Selectman John Santos also spoke against the cyclone fence that blocks the sidewalk and was adamant that it be moved back. "Take the fence off the sidewalk. It's a pedestrian area," he said. Town Manager Lynn said she would speak to the contractor about it at the weekly construction meeting there on Tuesday.
Another interesting development presented itself when contractors completed work to the library entrance on Center Street, which has a brick patio that extends well out into the two-way road. The north side of it is flush with the pavement, but the six-inch curb lies above the pavement on the south side.
According to Building Commissioner Russell Braun, the extended brick was a part of the approved plan, but the entire semi-circle is supposed to be flush with the pavement.
"You just can't arbitrarily constrict the width of the street," Braun said.
According to Napsha and Lynn, within two weeks the area around the raised curb will be paved to make it flush with the road.

Review for Soldiers' Angels, San Antonio, TX, USA
I became part of the Soldier's Angels letter writing team in June. Since then I have written over 36 letters to soldiers and have sent at least 20 care packages. I wanted to "do" something for our deployed soldiers since they are so far from home. I enjoyed writing the letters so much that I have adopted a few soldiers. I write to them regularly and send care packages. I feel they are all part of my family and I pray they are safe. Soldier's Angels made it possible for me to support our troops.

Quantum Leaps in the Wrong Direction by Charles Wynn and Arthur Wiggins
Quantum Leaps in the Wrong Direction by Charles Wynn and Arthur Wiggins,
Joseph Henry Press, $18.95, ISBN 030907309X
A BELIEF in fairies is clearly dotty. So is a belief in foretelling the future by tarot cards. Both are too far beyond the pale to be worth demolishing.
Nevertheless, in Quantum Leaps in the Wrong Direction they come under attack.
Every shot is on target, and the victims are riddled, torn to pieces. The trouble is that back in the world we live in such notions seem as indestructible as Tom springing back to life after being flattened by Jerry's five-tonne weight. Incontrovertible as the demolition of, say, astrology may be, horoscopes will still be available the next morning and every morning after that in newspapers, magazines and on the Net.
Charles Wynn and Arthur Wiggins reserve their fiercest fire for what they term the five biggest ideas of pseudoscience: UFOs,

OCEANSIDE -- Police Chief Michael Poehlman told the Oceanside City Council on Wednesday that the department has many plans for improved service, but more officers will be needed to meet the goals in the growing community.
During a three-hour informal study session with the council, Poehlman and his staff laid out their needs, priorities, significant changes and operations in virtually every area. No action was taken.
More police officers downtown and at the beaches, better response to calls citywide, dispatching and police communications improvements, more family protection and an outreach effort to get the homeless off the streets were included in the broad presentation.
"We need to find a way to balance all that (with the budget)," City Manager Steve Jepsen said later.
Poehlman said police want to reach the countywide average of 1.33 officers per 1,000 residents.
"You would have to add close to 40 officers to get us close to the average," said the chief.
About 28 percent of the city's general budget goes for police services, Poehlman said. He said the department is thin on managers compared with other area law enforcement agencies.
Police are also looking into photographing red light offenders at traffic signals to help cut down traffic accidents, the council learned.
Officers have worked on cutting down property crimes, which increased considerably last year. Capt. Michael Brooks said those theft crimes have decreased 4.8 percent this year.
In connection with the energy crisis, Poehlman said anyplace where people are on foot, the downtown area, places where stores are open and the transit center will still need light.
Police also have helped schools with emergency plans in case of violence; tackled graffiti citywide; decreased truancy; and are dealing with illegal skateboarding, gang members and drug dealers in the renovated downtown business plaza area, police said.
The department's strategic plan calls for adding personnel, equipment and support that would cost $1,381,500. Poehlman said additions could be started for about $1 million.
Councilwoman Betty Harding said she didn't understand why the city can't share the services of Harbor Police officers to help cut down costs.
"I've always felt that they should be combined," Harding said.
Poehlman replied that Harbor Police don't have the same enforcement powers outside their district, although they can respond when police request them.
Harding said the city needs to look into possible reimbursement for handling harbor cases, such as the murder of 9-year-old Matthew Cecchi and last week's military boating accident.

Dr. Diana Kirschner's new book "Sealing The Deal" tells us how to change negative dating patterns.
Killer Belief #1: There Are No Good Men
Other variations on this theme:
• All men are jerks.
• All men are babies.
• All men are cheaters.
• All men are liars.
• All men let you down in the end.
• All the good ones are taken.
• All the available men have defects.
• All the available men are losers.
This killer belief usually surfaces in two different ways: a dead-end dating pattern where every single contender is perceived as having a fatal flaw; or, as out-of-control fears of rejection and abandonment that nullify feelings of trust and shut down a woman's heart.
The "Not-Perfect-I'll-Pass" Problem: This is the notion that all the good guys are taken and only the defective ones are available. This guy is too paunchy, too bald, too old, too young or even too good-looking and that one has hands that are just too small. Other deal breakers: bad taste in music, a cheesy sense of humor, loves me too much, is too predictable, or used the wrong table fork.
These complaints—including the typical ones that I've listed above—have nothing to do with the qualities that make for a partner who can provide lasting love and happiness. Study after study has shown that the most important variables that lead to happy relationships and marriages are a guy's (and your) character virtues, especially empathy, concern for others and a willingness to grow.
Instead of being nit-picky, change your perception to notice what is really at the guy's core in terms of his values and character. If you don't, your killer belief and the attitudes associated with it create negative and contemptuous vibes and emasculating, cold behavior that send men heading for the hills.
The "Chase Me" Problem: Maybe you're not Miss Picky when it comes to relationships, but the minute your boyfriend wants to move forward to a deeper commitment, you panic. You pull back and become unavailable or quiet or act crazy and dump him. Even if he acts lovingly, you insist to your friends that he doesn't really care about you. All this happens almost against your own will and for no reason having to do with him or the relationship. I call this pattern "Chase Me."
The "Chase Me" deadly dating pattern is all about fear. Deep down, you believe that no matter how good things are right now, it's not going to last: somewhere down the road there will be rejection and abandonment. The net-net is that you are the commitmentphobe. When you start to seriously fall for someone, you break up with him before he can hurt you. In this way you are in control of the heartbreak. What you really want is for the man to smash through the barricades you've thrown up, ride in on his white horse and claim you. But you never give him even the remotest clue, and because you've pushed him away again and again, he doesn't come after you. Women who operate under the "Chase Me" pattern usually wind up helping to create the very thing they fear: being abandoned and alone.
Warning Signs: You keep wondering why a woman like you who has so much going for her is single and alone. In addition, you may be lost in a whirl where you love him, you hate him, you just don't give a sh*t—and you can't stop yourself from acting bitchy or distant.

Things I did that summer:
1. I called a local bowling alley. I explained the situation, said I was looking for really cheap/free ideas. The owner of the bowling alley gave me the same deal as she gave daycares. I had to agree to come on a day and time they were slow. We got free shoe rental and $1 games. We bowled 2 games every Wednesday.
2. The theater had free movies at 10am. The movies were last years hits, but it was a theater movie. Check your local theaters.
3. Creek day. My kids would spend hours in the creek. In the rain, or the sun. Building dams, catching fish, getting muddy and wet.
4. I put the word out and accepted every guest invite to a pool.
5. Look for the Bible School camps. These are usually free and often come with a meal. Now there are day and evening camps.
6. The larger churches will do day camps, a week long and usually very very affordable. If affordable is too much, contact the church. Scholarships are usually available.
Anyone else have other ideas to share??
My kids have participated in some exclusive camps because I was willing to ask, fill out forms, write letters and share my financial information. The camps found sponsors so my kids could enjoy their programs.
I took pics of happy kids and sent thank you letters after the camp. We were usually invited to return the following year.
YMCA, parks and rec, UF band camp, Duke University girls soccer camp, Youth Soccer programs ALL have scholarship money available. 4H and Girl Scouts are also good about discounting fees.
Is there a public beach or lake nearby?
The zoo?
What about scouts and those types of orgs? Again, if "a little" is too much, do their sponsoring groups have scholarships?
Kite flying - homemade kites are cheeeeeap! We used newsprint when I was a kid, and a torn sheet for a tail.
Dress-up (don't know how old the kids are).
A "tea" with neighborhood friends - kool-aid and vanilla wafers? (again, age?)
It sounds "quaint" (and the kids might balk but it would be good for their little eternal souls): but nursing homes might welcome young kids distributing cheerful cards they've made?
Along that same line, do you have an older neighbor who might welcome some help walking a dog - maybe once a week so it fills time? I'm just thinking that service-oriented things might be good - so show that no matter how difficult things are, we can rise to the occasion and offer help to people in need.
Organize a rummage "sale" - trading out clothes for next school year with other parents?
Plant a garden? One or tow packets of seeds goes a long way (dollar store = 4/$1 now), and the responsibility of caring for the plant makes them proud - and it requires repeated attention that's free.
Just trying to think....
(eta: I really did look for the ages - but only in re-reading did I see them. Oops. Oh well, maybe the young stuff will spark something for someone with littles)

If you have a national or state park nearby, they schedule free hiking tours, schedule a clean up day with an appreciation meal afterwards for participants along with door prizes. Some sponsor free fishing days for kids. They usually have a book which lists all events in the state for the year.
A lot of towns in my state have yearly festivals that are free to go to with free events for the kids. Pack a picnic lunch and make a day of it. Check the newspaper under Community Events.
Some towns have a Boys and Girls club which offers gymnastics, dance classes, swimming lessons, and sports of all kinds. Usually these are free due to private and corporate donations, but sometimes there is a low income application that you can usually fill out.
Big Brothers and Big Sisters organizations are usually very good as well for helping with summer boredom.
We will go 4 nights and 5 days to do all kinds of fun stuff!
I edit often to fix stuff ☺
Profoundly grateful Every. Single. Day. that I am blessed with an H with strength, integrity, and compassion, and that he decided to try.
I think Target and BofA both sponsor free museum admission days.
Lots of communities offer free movies and concerts during the summer at local parks or community centers.
Our County Fair usually offers a couple of days where they offer free admission if you bring in a couple of used books or cans of food. Yours might too. Pack drinks and snacks and avoid the rides and games, and you can enjoy the exhibits and animals on the cheap.
Everybody, soon or late, sits down to a banquet of consequences.

BRUSSELS, Sept 15 (Reuters) - The European Union is extending anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties imposed on U.S. biodiesel imports for a further five years, until September 2020, maintaining its defence against trade in the renewable fuel source.
The bloc set the duties in 2009 on a number of U.S. producers of biodiesel, including Archer Daniels Midland Co and Cargill Inc, effectively bringing to a halt $1 billion in annual trade.
The EU decided there was still a risk of harm if the duties were lifted and so chose to extend them, an official EU journal stated on Tuesday.
At issue was a U.S. tax credit of $1 per gallon of biodiesel produced, which the European Commission judged was harming European producers.

Aaron & Jill – Las Vegas Wedding Photographer
A couple of weeks ago we were in Las Vegas to capture Aaron and Jill's amazing wedding. When we heard all of the cool things that was going on with the decorations for the reception we were super excited, but then we saw the weather report and got a little scared. We got lucky and the rain didn't cause a single problem. Check out how cool the sky was! It was so clear after the weather came through.

Friday, July 11, 2008 | 5:30 p.m.
After Thursday's news of double-digit declines in gambling revenue in Las Vegas, the latest tourism statistics from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority seem anticlimactic. Or, in other words, like more of the same.
Midweek and weekend room rates across town continue to fall, dropping 6 percent in May from the same month last year. The coming months will be more illuminating as lower room rates this year can be compared with rates during the typically slower summer months.

- June 16, 2008 -- We're spending more on gasoline, less on having fun
Visitor volume was up less than one percent in May and is flat so far this year versus the same period last year, in line with what some Strip executives have predicted.
Airline traffic through McCarran International Airport was down 5 percent in May and is down 2 percent this year, an obvious result of higher fees and tightening consumer budgets.
The convention business has been more difficult to handicap. Some shows have reported significant declines in attendance while others are projecting increases or at least as many delegates as last year in spite of the economic slowdown. The visitors authority reports that convention attendance was up a percentage point in May, with overall attendance flat so far this year.
Darker clouds may be on the horizon.
Room nights occupied by convention-goers were down by 9 percent in May and have fallen 10 percent so far this year, a notable decline likely driven by attendees who are cutting their stays short, said Kris Tibbs, the visitors authority's senior research analyst.

Hi -
I am going to go at this backwards - (well, it seems backwards to me
anyway) - I am going to list my mom's ancestors by line (so some
redundancies will be there) to see if anyone knows more information (or has
any corrections - hey, I'm not perfect).
Margi Shindell
My mom is Janet Catherine McPherson, her parents were Colin Francis
Macpherson (b. June 4, 1885 in Springfield, Nova Scotia; d. April 1966 in
Seattle, Washington) and Margaret Chisholm (daughter of Donald (Brook)
Chisholm and Janet (Miller) MacDonald). They were married September 28, 1931

One Warm Word Episode 16
One Warm Word Episode 16 English Sub
Comments (36) ADD COMMENT
They say some relationships get better after an affair. For those who decide to salvage their marriage it will be a heavy load to bear. Professional counseling helps but it will be a long road to hoe. Some are willing to take that road but it will involve a great deal of forgiveness and rebuilding of trust. All this may play out with the main leads in this drama. I hope the two families will be spared the pain of divorce, the brunt of which will be felt most by the children and the psychological aftermath that will affect them for years to come.
Perhaps the director and writer are trying to make a case that lovers can go to hotel without sex or that you can have an affair or betray your spouse without doing it. I understand that could happen in real life and it's good that they did not do it. My complaint is that there should at least attempts for physical contacts and some emotional drama inside that hotel instead of a plain boring conversation. After all this is drama not real life.
@saraheon JH and EJ both declared that they did not do it. They went to a hotel but did not even attempt to do it. It was a very boring episode. This scene could have been a good chance for the actors to showcase their acting skills. Their faces should portray conflicting emotion of desires. It would have been a good drama if they acted (not just in words) as if they were both hot but decided not to do it because they were thinking about their family. Instead, they just calmly talked like couple trying to figure out the menu in a restaurant, there was not a single passionate kiss or embrace, not even a passionate confession of love, no display of great pain that they cannot be together. If there was no intention to do it in the first place, it's better if they just met in the park.
Though I been following this drama episode after episode every week... it is rather unreal from the start. What are the odds of your sister falling in love with the brother in law of the one you had an affair with. To top it all, is it considered an affair, did they sleep with each other...I thought the intended but didn't right...or maybe i missed something that subtly suggested they did. Anyways I just wanted the drama to end soon... the actress who played EJ must be really tired. Her role is all tears and walking around hunched with sadness burdening her shoulders... boy that must have been tough doing day by day for months :(
Trust and respect are the basic foundation of lasting marriage. Once it is broken, you cannot put it back without cracks, there will always be doubts and suspicions unless the couple can turn off memories of betrayal. Unlike other shortcomings that can be easily overlooked and forgiven, infidelity is like termites that will gnaw on the offended spouse. It's not good for the couple and their children to stay together when they cannot trust and respect each other. There's no happy ending for this affair. Sometimes divorce is the best answer.
hhttppyyOh that s the truth Good luck to you Happy Divorcee I m the Sad one
four ep more to go..hope its will make positive progress..Script writer & Director..please wrap this drama with a veru good lessonS...enough with unecessary & dragged plot..BTW,impressed with all actors & actresses impression..and PLEASE do not end it with 'someone will be die'..enough with all our frustation when watching it.please have a happy ending..so,it will be worth watching.. :)
HantaewoossiTotally agree. Didn't like Eun Young's character. still don't but both the actress playing her and the actor playing Min Soo are fabulous. very impressed.
3 years ago . Report
EY's acting is all sounds and fury. She is good at acting childish (EJ's daughter talks more mature). EY's and MS's tears look unnatural, their sadness not convincing, their acting so pathetic. The story is supposed to be dramatic with plenty of raw emotions because that's what spouses are when their marriage is breaking, divorce is supposed to be messy and infidelity is a bombshell in any relationship. This drama would be more interesting if there's a lot of yelling, accusations, guilts, blames, hatreds, and suspense whether the unfaithful lovers will go back to each other. Instead the couples involved acted as if it's they are going through a normal thing in life and even discussed it peacefully. The result is that their tears and sadness don't look credible and convincing.
croyI agreed with you, when you commit crime, you should be punished, no exception, that way people have to be careful not to commit crime,
Are Eu Jin and Mi Kyung insane that they both want MS and EY to marry? If they do, they will become a big unhappy family where they will all meet at family gathering where everyone will be awkward. That is one insane idea and I wish the director will not dwell too much on it because it's getting boring and EJ and MK are looking more and more stupid.
Too much unecessary drama, they didn't even sleep together! What's the big fuss about a small fling?To be honest-and i know that most of you will disagree with me-i think that the wife should be mad about her insane mother in law and her impassive husband. And the other couple should have broke up ages ago, when she was delealing with PD and he was cheating her instead of helping her with their new born. About the young brother, well he belongs to jail, a place for those people who send anonymous threatening letters and intentionally cause car accidents.
TonyDaviesyour right . they just met up talked they never even kissed if they did i missed that part ...
dutchessWould you mind if your spouse went to a hotel with another man/woman with the intention of having sex, but didn't? This would be no big deal to you? Interesting
DeliaDutchess, bottom line is that they didn't have sex!And when she found out the truth instead of feeling somehow relieved, she decided to leave her home under the excuse that it was love and not lust.Now since i believe that we are all adults here, we all know that a romance or a big love, no matter how strong it is without sex will gradually faint, since making love makes couples come closer and grow ever stronger feelings. Why didn't she file for divorce when she still believed that it was an affair?If i was in her shoes, i would have confronted him and file for divorce asap instead of stalking his lover.
Can't understand why most Korean women so hysteric when it comes to men. The first two parts of epi 16 are wasted with yelling and shouting, even at parents. (thus, no improvement in story) I'm sorry for Min Soo & Jun Young's anguish; for their breakup but wonder why they are so desperate for men. Both couples are trying to make peace with their respective spouses to avoid problems that might arise becoz they become hesitant to divorce lately. Min Soo himself admits he is at fault for the hit-and-run accident. If I were in Eun Young's place, I'd try to save my siblings' marriage and just stay low profile until all situations calms down. Here Eun Young and Min Soo's sister are making the unification become worse!
