Bulk Seed
Reserved Access
Only the seeds on this page are limited-access—not to restrict availability, but to encourage successful propagation. (About Reserved Access) All other seeds are unrestricted access.
To receive these seeds, simply write on your request "I agree to the reserved-access terms."
NOTE: We do not supply these seeds unless you include the sentence: "I agree to the reserved-access terms." on your request!
Two types are reserved-access: rare, threatened, or endangered species, and seeds with prolonged, irregular, uncertain, or exacting germination requirements. To insure they reach experienced, qualified propagators, and to weed out "consumer-types", we reserve access to these seeds to those who:
1. Agree to propagate and distribute the plants, and to share their germination results.
2. Agree to distribute solely in the public domain—no patents, trademarks, or other intellectual property.
3. Commercial propagation is encouraged, but in the unlikely event that large-scale commercial distribution is achieved, benefit-sharing along the path towards the source, in accordance with the spirit of the International Convention on Biological Diversity, will be undertaken.
4. Absolutely, positively, NO refunds or replacements for any reason other than out-of-stock!
Thanks for helping insure that we can continue to distribute these special seeds!
—Acacia simplicifolia. (=simplex) (10) R-ACAC-117. Packet: $5.00
25 seed: $10.00, 100 seed: $30.00, 1000 seed: $225.00
Extremely rare tree or shrub to 40 feet, with broad, oval, pointed 2 - 4" leaves, and small flower-balls followed by 6" pods. Endemic to New Caledonia and Vanuatu, often growing in seashore dunes. Does well in Florida—try it in S. California and Texas. "This tree thrives on abuse. It seems to grow with no water, highly alkaline soil, and strong sunlight. It is remarkable. My trees were submerged in salt water during a storm and did not even blink."—H.P., Florida Keys. Nick seed to germinate in 2 - 4 weeks. Scarce as hen's teeth!
To maximize germination of these expensive seed: Nick seed lightly with a file - just abrade the surface and don't go all the way to the quick - then soak for 15 minutes in a solution made of 1 part household bleach and 8 parts water. Rinse them well. Fold a paper towel into quarters and moisten with distilled water. Squeeze out excess, so it is just damp, and put on a clean plate. Put the seeds (nicked side down) on the towel and cover with plastic wrap, leaving an air space above the seeds. Keep in a warm place (70 - 80°F) and inspect every day. Any seeds that don't swell in a day or two should be re-nicked and re-sterilized. Any seeds that develop mold should be removed and re-sterilized and put on a separate plate - most of these will sprout, too, but this keeps the others clean. When the roots are a half-inch long, plant the seed in a light, well-drained seed-starting mix, and keep warm. If you have had trouble with these in the past, try this method and you are sure to be successful! This method gives high germination.

Alnwick Town boss Paul Yeadon hailed hat-trick hero Tony Brown after he inspired his side to a 3-3 draw at Birtley Town on Tuesday night.
The midfielder's third goal came in the 90th minute as Alnwick snatched a late equaliser in the Northern League, Division Two clash.
It was the second time in four days that the St James' Park side had come from behind and scored at the death to snatch a share of the spoils after Tom Vickers' 85th-minute goal in the 1-1 against Stokesley Sports Club on Saturday.
Alnwick are now three points clear of the dropzone, although they have played more games than some of their relegation rivals.
Yeadon hailed the fighting spirit of his side for grabbing the draws from losing positions and praised the fringe players who stepped up in the midweek clash against Birtley.
But Tuesday night belonged to three-goal Brown.
"He shone again," admitted Yeadon.
"He has been outstanding all season. All three goals on Tuesday were taken really, really well and he has come into his own as a Northern League player."
Alnwick grabbed a point the hard way on Tuesday night, pegging back Birtley three times.
Yeadon said: "There is a fighting spirit. We had an under-strength team out and the lads who came in stepped up really well. There were some really good performances."
While Alnwick are out of the dropzone, and have a better goal difference than teams around them, there is still work to do to preserve their Division Two status.
Yeadon is setting his sights on winning half of the eight league games remaining.
He said: "There are some big matches coming up, with some games against teams in the top half of the table, but I do believe we can take points off these sides."
Alnwick are away to Northallerton Town on Saturday, kick-off 3pm.
Alnwick (v Birtley): B Brooks, A Makin, G Convery, A Tate, D Lowes, B Murray, C Moffet, T Brown, J Jackson, B Keenan, K Hogg. Subs: R Straughan, M Hall, L Dundas.

What chainsaw do you guys use for general purpose work?
I've ONLY used Stihl saws. My favorite "general purpose" saw is my '028'. It has plenty of power for big work & is small enough for limb work. Also I've ahd it since 1989, and it still cranks on the second pull!!

Southwestern Historical Quarterly
of Rockbridge Baths, Virginia, loaned the editor the unpublished
autobiography from which the following selection was taken.'
My father dying early in March 1851, my brother William2
having been promoted to Captain in the United States Army, and
assigned to San Antonio, Texas, as Chief Commissary of the Depart-
ment, appointed me his clerk at the princely salary of $75 per
month-wealth beyond my fondest fancy.
But, there being no railroads hereabouts, except the R. F. S& P.
extending, through its connections, to Wilmington, N. C., and ten
miles of the R. & D.,s the question was how easiest to get to Texas.
From New York we could have taken steamer to New Orleans, and
thence, by another steamer, to the port of Indianola, but that was
too expensive, and fortunately we had a more convenient and cheap-
er route, near at hand. In those primitive days, there was a line,
consisting of one barque, known as the Major Barbour,4 trading
between Richmond and New Orleans, transporting to the latter
principally stationary engines, and bringing back raw sugar (which
is now wholly unknown), and New Orleans molasses consigned to
Dunlop, Moncure, & Co., and sold at public auction at their ware-
house--Northwest corner of Iith & Cary Streets. ...
We took ship at Rocketts,5 and a tug took the ship and left us in
Hampton Roads, where I had my first taste of mal de mer, and which
assails me whenever salt water is reached, or, I might add, whenever
lake water is tempted.
Bad weather detained us in the [Hampton] Roads, but, with the
advent of fair weather, out we glided into the blue sea, crossed the
Gulf Stream, and were well on our way to New Orleans.
Information for the above sketch of Blair was taken from his unpublished
autobiography and from Lyon G. Tyler (ed.), Men of Mark in Virginia (5 vols.;
Washington, 19o6-19o8), IV, 30-34.
2Blair's brother William was a graduate of West Point in the class of 1838.
He was breveted captain on April 18, 1847, for gallantry at Cerro Gordo. On June
14, 1861, he resigned from the United States Army and served as a major in the
quartermaster department of the Confederate Army throughout the Civil War.
He died on March 23, 1883. Francis B. Heitman, Historical Register and Dictionary
of the United States Army, 1789-zo3 (2 vols.; Washington, 19o3), I, 222.
sThe R. F. & P. Railroad was the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac,
while the R. & D. was the Richmond and Danville.
4The Major Barbour was a sidewheel steamer of 133 tons built in Shippingport,
Kentucky, in 1848. She was probably named for Philip N. Barbour of Kentucky,
who was breveted major in 1846 for distinguished service against the Mexican
forces. In 1852, the year following Blair's voyage, the Major Barbour was abandoned.

No. 6), 119.
sRocketts was a south suburb of Richmond-the port area of the city along the
James River-frequently referred to as Rocketts Landing. Libby Prison, of Civil War
renown, was located there.

The tropical downpour in North Texas this week showed one effect of decades of urbanization: flash floods worsened by the wholesale paving of the prairie.
The remains of Tropical Storm Hermine left many neighborhoods awash Wednesday. And though few areas might escape flooding when 5 to 10 inches of rain falls in a day, planners say widespread development - the replacing of native grasslands and woods with roofs, roads and parking lots - has worsened the risk.
Water that once might have taken its time rambling along wide waterways and soaking into the soil now hurries toward the nearest overloaded drain or down a concrete-lined ditch.
"You take out the natural ability for the water to percolate into the soil," said Jack Tidwell, an environment and development manager at the North Central Texas Council of Governments, the regional planning agency.
"It's got to go someplace," he said.
Despite regional progress in steering development away from the critical flood plain of the Trinity River, North Texas' biggest outlet for floodwater, the trend of replacing open space with buildings and pavement is expected to continue.
Glimpse of the future
A report this year by Vision North Texas, a nonprofit group of public and private planners, predicts that by 2050, the region's impervious surface - artificial hardscapes that shun water rather than absorbing it - will double along with its population.
The report proposes new development patterns meant in part to improve public safety by limiting losses of flood plains and wetlands.
For the present, Wednesday's storms demonstrated both the successes and limitations of efforts to reduce urban flood damage.
"We are starting to recognize the complexity of having over 6 million people in the region and the complexity of the very urbanized environment that we have," Tidwell said.
Statistics from Wednesday's storm tell the story. Some places recorded as much as 10 inches of rain. At that rate, according to the U.S. Geological Survey's equations, nearly a quarter-million gallons of water fell on each acre of land.
That's the equivalent of filling a 40-gallon bathtub each 2.8 seconds for 24 hours. Pour all that water out the door onto the driveway and multiply it by many acres, many of them paved, and the magnitude of the contemporary threat comes into focus.
"A hundred years ago, you probably didn't have those kinds of flash floods like you had yesterday," said Clay Church, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers' Fort Worth District.
"Those prairie grass areas, those cross timbers areas, would have held back the floodwaters."
Corps lakes
That job now falls to the corps' seven lakes in the Trinity River watershed, the largest watershed entirely within Texas.
"When we have these large rainfalls like we had yesterday - some in double digits - the lakes are there to hold floodwaters so downstream areas are protected," Church said.
Local rain can still push floodwater into neighborhoods, but the big lakes limit damage from upstream.
The corps' Lewisville Lake has its upper 10 feet of capacity reserved to hold a big flood. Wednesday morning, as the rain began, the lake had all of its flood pool available.
In 24 hours, the 28,980-acre lake rose 3.08 feet - holding water that otherwise would have rushed downstream.
"Our lakes did what they had to do," Church said.

Whether your Dad is funny, smart, goofy or geeky (or all of these!), he is important to you. He might have taught you how to ride a bike, how to put on a tie or even how to drive a car. If he's not the handy type, he might have bought your very first beer, taken you to a baseball game or showed you how to handle yourself in a tight situation. No matter what type of dad you have, he is special. He is unique. There is no dad like YOUR dad.
We often forget that dads like to think they've done a good job raising you – and, even if they haven't qualified for Father of the Year, they most likely did the best they could at the time. It's a hard job being a dad sometimes! For these reasons, we want to share some ways you can celebrate Father's Day – every day!
Tip #1 – Thank Your Dad
A simple "thank you" is sometimes all that's needed to make Dad feel appreciated and happy. (A smile would probably be very welcome, too!)
Tip #2 – Admit Your Dad is Right Sometimes
Dads usually know what they're talking about. They may go about it in the wrong way at times, but dads have LOTS of experience and usually know you (and the situation) better than you think. Perhaps give your Dad the benefit of the doubt next time and see what happens. You might say, "Dad, I listened to you and, you know what, you were right!" I bet he would be gratified (and maybe shocked!) to hear it.
Tip #3 – Talk to Your Dad about His Life
We often forget that our Dads had a life before we were born. Ask him what goals he might have had when he was younger or what adventures he experienced – it may spur a great conversation (and laughter!) between the two of you that brings you closer. You may view your dad in a new light and think of him more as his own person, as well as his role as your father. Give it a try!
Tip #4 – Spend Time Doing Something Your Dad Loves
This might be a painful experience (if your Dad loves eating insanely hot food and you don't!) or a fantastic experience (you both enjoy fishing and you go on a weekend fishing trip together) but, either way, do an activity with your Dad that HE will enjoy. If you're not sure, ask your Mom, his best friend or someone close to him. Perhaps taking him to a game where his favorite team is playing, buying tickets to a concert he likes, find a project the two of you can do together (wood working, gardening, building cars, etc), ask him to teach you his favorite card/board game or just go on a hike/walk together. Any quality time spent with your Dad will be appreciated – and you might be pleasantly surprised if you both have a great time together!
Tip #5 – Tell Your Dad You Love Him
This last one is may be a bit tricky if you (or your Dad) are not comfortable with sharing emotions or emotional feelings. It's okay. There's an easy way to do this – WRITE IT DOWN. One of the biggest regrets people have is not telling someone how they feel about them and wishing they'd just been brave enough to do it. Father's Day is the perfect time to bite the bullet and have a good "excuse" for sharing your feelings. You can do it in a silly, funny or crazy way if being "sappy" doesn't work for you. Find a funny card (or even a very simple one) and write the words, "I love you, Dad". You don't even have to acknowledge you wrote it, if that would be awkward for either of you. But, he'll read it and he'll know. Worst case, he'll ignore it, but feel the love. Best case, he'll grab you for a hug and say it back. Sharing the love is worth it.
No matter how you decide to celebrate Father's Day with your Dad this year - it may be all of these things or even just one – keep in mind what your Dad means to you and conjure up memories of times that he helped you, taught you a skill, supported you, protected you or simply loved you. Translate those memories into the present and celebrate the person that is your Dad.

Thank you so much I appreciate it

ASPiRE Hosts Former U.S. Domestic Policy Advisor
On Oct. 12, VCU ASPiRE hosted Melody Barnes, the former domestic policy advisor for President Obama. Barnes, a Richmond native, served as a guest lecturer for CMST 300 "Foundations of Community Engagement" course, which is taken by all VCU ASPiRE students and focuses on topics of community engagement, including social capital, cultural humility and social justice.
Barnes used three stories as a foundation for telling the students the importance of citizenship. She talked about Barbara Johns, Senator Ted Kennedy and Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. Barnes described how each of these individuals changed their communities using their natural talents and spheres of influence, noting that it does not matter if you are a 16-year-old high schooler like Johns or a wealthy executive like Schultz - everyone has power to improve the lives of others.
"Barnes told the students that 'citizen is a verb,' meaning that we all have a responsibility to take action," said Erin Burke Brown, ASPiRE director. "She reminded the students that voting was an important step in taking action within our communities."
After the lecture, Barnes met with eight students for a dinner that included an informal Q&A, discussion of their future aspirations and thoughts about how to improve the local community.
During the dinner, Abby Brown, a Globe student, expressed the joys and challenges of working at Title I schools in the area serving students who speak English as a second language. Anthony Jones, an Honors student and Andrew Goodman Fellow, talked about his trip to Bolivia, where he learned the importance of intercultural communication and understanding. VCU ASPiRE student Monika Devanaboyina shared that she didn't know what to expect from the night, but she was glad she was given the opportunity to hear from Barnes and be inspired to continue on her path to pursue medicine in the future.
"Ms. Barnes was impressed that most of the students were intent on improving communities, both locally and globally," Brown said. "She said this generation of young adults understands that we cannot focus solely on our own local needs to sustain change."
For more information, contact Brown at email@example.com.

About Me
- To paraphrase a blogger who is far more glamorous than me, like London needs another working mum blogging about her life. But hey, sometimes when you have a laptop on your knees in between serving oven chips and leftovers and starting bedtime you wonder how you became that woman, why you did and how you feel about it. Sometimes I even probe further - who is THAT woman, and did I ever aspire to be her? Do I like her? Could I learn to? Which is why I've started this blog...

this is the second time i have noticed how brilliantly you write about the times when the chips are really down.ReplyDelete
i'm sorry that things are tough, but grateful that there are people like you who can articulate life's dark places so beautifully.
hugs x
Oh how perfectly you expressed it. People say things like "I'm thinking of you' etc etc because they don't know what else to say, and saying something ANYTHING is saying better than nothing. We're never lost for words, we are frequently faced with situations for which there are no words, none that will do at all. So we say, take care, I'm here for you, don't let the bastards get you down and all those hackneyed expressions because we daren't say, 'What you are facing is so appalling that I can't think of anything to say that even gets close'.ReplyDelete
Beautifully writing, just lovely x
Thank you for the hugs Mule, am trying to find some cheer to write about before things get too twisted round here!ReplyDelete
Spudballoo - exactly, and when you are on the other side, hearing familiar phrases, they don't seem so, because you know how heartfelt the speaker is.

"King Nothing" is one the best track on the highly underrated "Load" album released in -96. The track is heavy and catchy, just like "Enter Sandman", and the song actually ends with the same words; "Off to never-never land." The riffs are awesome and the bass is loud, Jason Newsted always has a great bass tone, too bad you didn't get to hear it on the "Justice" album. Kirk's solo is great and I actually like his use of the wah-pedal on the "Load" and "Reload" albums, before it got out of hand. This solo is the best on the album after "Bleeding Me". The drumming is nothing impressive, but that doesn't really matter.
The song is about people who devote their entire lives to be successful and earn money until one day, they realize ("then it all crashes down") that all their money has gotten them nothing worthwhile. They have wasted their whole life in pursuit of money and status instead of living and being truly happy (where's your crown, king nothing?). Hetfield's vocals on this five minute track, just like throughout most of the record, is fantastic and the lyrics are easy to sing along to.
My overall impression of this song is that it's one of the best songs from all three album released by the band in the 90's. "Bleeding Me" and "The Outlaw Torn" are the only better songs from the "Load" album, and most people that doesn't like this album, tend to like "King Nothing." Although the underrated "Load" and "Reload" albums are disliked by many fans, it shows Metallica's diversity and creativity in songwriting, as well as Hetfield's best singing of his career. "King Nothing" is a perfect example of that.
Let me start by saying that "King Nothing" is the best track on the mediocre "Load". The track is crushing, reminiscent of Metallica's earlier "Enter Sandman". Both songs have a similar structure and style of lyrics writing. The lyrics and vocal style remind me of something made by Motorhead and Lemmy. Hetfield's vocals are commanding as he screams "Then it all crashes down...". The Lemmy Kilmister influences are heavy here. The instrumentals are heavy and thick, similar to other tracks on this album. The drumming is solid but nothing too technical, just focusing on force. Kirk has a good solo towards the end, probably his best in the forgettable Load era. This is probably Jason Newsted's best performance ever as it is his bass riff which progresses into the main guitar riff.
At about five and a half minutes in length, this is unlike the other overlong songs on this album. If you like grunge, or just dark hard rock. The King nothing single is certainly worth a buy. This is certainly the best song in Metallica's Load era.

The Blues cruised into the last four with a routine 3-1 win at Derby after goals from Eden Hazard, Filipe Luis and Andre Schurrle.
Craig Bryson had briefly made it 2-1 before Jake Buxton was sent off for the hosts with 12 minutes left.
It keeps the Barclays Premier League leaders on course for a clean sweep this season but Mourinho remained coy.
He said: "We don't speak about it, you (the media) spoke a few weeks ago about being unbeatable in the Premier League and we never did it, now you speak about the quadruple but we haven't done it. We have our feet on the ground.
"We can win on Monday (at Stoke) but it will be difficult. The important thing is to win on Monday. I was saying before we don't choose competitions, we don't choose matches and the next match is the most important thing.
"We go like this and I think the players showed that attitude, by playing a very professional game. The mentality is part of the group DNA. I don't need to push people to play a certain game, I don't need to press them to be ready."
Kurt Zouma had to be carried off after a clash of heads with Petr Cech just before half-time and Mourinho was initially frustrated with the speed of the stretcher bearers getting onto the pitch.
He tried to hurry them up and Cesc Fabregas and Cesar Azpilicueta helped carry the stretcher but Mourinho admitted he did not know the rules.
"Zouma is fine, he was just a bit dizzy and had some blood in his mouth. He has some exams with the doctors but he's fine," said Mourinho, who confirmed Didier Drogba avoided any major problems after coming off with an ankle injury.
"It was easy to understand there was some trouble but I had no idea what was going on as I couldn't see from the distance.
"They (the stretcher bearers) were walking and afterwards I was informed that's the direction they have, they can't run."
Derby had rallied after Bryson swept in with 19 minutes left but Buxton was dismissed for pulling back Loic Remy seven minutes later.
Keeper Lee Grant looked to have handled outside the box as he slid in at Remy's feet in the same incident and Rams boss Steve McClaren felt the decision to dismiss Buxton was wrong.
"Absolutely, I have seen it quite a few times and I don't think it would have been given in the middle of the park or anywhere else," he said.
"I have discussed it with him (the linesman) and he gave what he saw and I believe it was wrong. There was a little tussle and we couldn't believe it when Buxton was sent off.
"We thought Lee Grant was going and we were getting (Kelle) Roos ready. It was a big surprise, a big decision – a poor decision – it might not have changed the result but it robbed us of the last 15 minutes after the goal."
But McClaren felt his side, third in the Sky Bet Championship, proved themselves against Chelsea.
"I was so proud of the players," he said. "We grew in terms of the performance and how I wanted to play. We were nervous at the beginning but overall we're so proud.
"We restricted Chelsea to very few chances but they were very clinical and that's why they are one of the best teams in Europe."

SHOULD TRANSGENDER PEOPLE BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST? And what are people affraid of when giving every one true equallity and protections from harassment, marriage, job protections excetera? I am wondering about this topic due to some recent news events and wondering what others thoughts are on this subject.
sort by best latest
i live it everyday and feel i am just trying to be me. i can't help my feelings as i had these feelings since i was 5 years old and had this intense need to wear girl's clothes from that early age and wear women's clothes every day. i am a male and married with a son and very happy. i do still feel like a woman inside but try my best to live as a guy though it feels weird to me as i am always sneaking wearing womens clothing secretly in private or underdressing by wearing pretty dresses underneath my male clothing. i can't help who i am. i feel we are people and if i could wear a dress in public without fear or ridicule or discrimination i certainly would. the painful reality is this will never happen in my lifetime and my sad reality is that when i am dead that is when i will reveal to the world my transgender by wearing a dress as then i won't care what others think but it will be too late as i would never have experienced acceptance or had the opportunity to wear the clothes i truly wanted and needed to when i was alive. so very sad!

I really dislike the term transsexual, to be honest, because it carries a lot of negative connotations. (tranny, ladyboy, etc.)
However, I believe transgender is a perfectly legitimate term. My psychological gender (feeling that I am female) does not match my biological gender. I am not cisgendered. I definitely always felt that I was more female than male, and anything about "being a man" annoyed me.
I honestly just felt that being a man sucked. I was never comfortable with it, and always had this strong desire to be a girl. Now that I'm trying to live that dream, I feel a lot better, and it's like a wool's been pulled over my eyes, but I'm still very alone. I can understand it, since I have to give my friends time, but it still sucks very much.
I just want to have a connection with somebody - anybody, that would understand me and love me for who I am. Thats all I want. A connection with someone.

I personally hate the terms Transgender, or Transsexual.
I often correct people when the terms are applied to me, even by well meaning friends and acquaitances. I am simply a woman. Perhaps I was born with a birth defect, But I now am a woman in my body, my dress, my life, my work, my relatiomship, every part of me.
Why should I, or any other human being, be discrimnated against for simply being who we are?
The Goddess obviously made me for a reason... Who is another human to second guess that, or judge it?

No more than any other birth defect (which should be none!). Giving equallity and protections to "special" cases could lead to a plethora of not-so-legitimate claims. However, the Gay, Lesbian and Bi community have made great strides towards the institution of rights and protections under the law. It is becoming more widely accepted that transgenderism IS a medical condition and should be treated as such under health care plans (some insurers do). Unfortunately there are those who feel that transgenderism is a mental health disorder and is treatable through therapy. This approach has been proven to be wrong more times than not. Discrimination in any form cannot be tolerated. One should not be denied employment, insurance, financial loans, etc. unless there has been an attempt to deceive. Being open and honest can be risky but you'll know where you stand with others. If a person can't accept you for what and who you are, that's their problem. It is their fear and ignorance that they should overcome. It is up to us to educate those who know little or northing about being transgendered. Keep in mind that there are closed-minded people who refuse to listen no matter how you present your case.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
I don't think that transgender should be discrimanated against at all as they are still humans and they still bear the right to be treated with respect, everybody is different and everybody is entitled to their own opinions. Nobody is perfect and nobody has the right to judge anybody for their decisions they make in their own lives. People are afraid of rejection and weakness, they are afraid of giving everybody true equality and protections from harrassment and marriage in case it goes wrong in any way and they get blamed for it in some way. Strong beliefs such as Religion has alot to do with people being afraid of giving others equility,protections from harrassment,marriage,jobs and protection excetera. This is because everybody has different beliefs about how things should work and so not everybody will agree on certain things. This is why people are afraid of giving others these things, because they are afraid of rejection and weakness.

Yes, this is a rant. This ain't beauty-related. If you don't want your day to be ruined by my potty mouth/foul attitude, it'd be best for you to exit this blog right now. Come back tomorrow and I might be all cheery and fun again. Either that, or I will be so loaded up on caffeine, but you won't be able to tell anyway.
I've been driven crazy by people who are close to me; people who, as they say, love me the most and want to shield me from all bad things. However, when it comes to a point where I want to join the Witness Protection Program in order to not have to call/see you, it's no longer called love.
I'm at a point in my life right now to make some tough decisions. I need to focus on my courses in order to graduate in May; I need to find a job out in Colorado so I can be with my BF after graduation; and I also need to figure out what to do with my townhouse after I leave Gainesville. All these shit have been taking a toll on my mood.
Thus, it's suffice to say all the questioning I've been getting from my mom, the BF, and his mom haven't been helping.
The things my mom asks:
"Are you looking for a job?" "What kind of job are you looking at?" "That's BLUE-COLLAR!! My daughter can't work blue collar jobs!" <---This is after I told her I want to work at MAC if I can't find other jobs. "What are you gonna do with the place?" "How are your classes going? I hope you aren't making me disappointed." "Why can't you get a job? So & So got a job that pays $80,000 straight out of college. What's wrong with you?" "Why are you spending so much money?"
The things my BF asks:
"Are you coming out to Colorado?" "Are you getting a job?" "Are you looking for jobs?" "What kind of stuff do you want to do when you come out during Spring Break?" "Where are you gonna live? We need to find a new place cuz my apartment isn't big enough for all your crap." "What would you do if you can't find a job in Colorado? Are you just gonna sit at home? I won't be able to support both of us and two cats with my salary."
The things his mom asks:
"Are you moving out to Colorado to keep my son company?" "When are you getting married?" "I want my grandbabies. When are you going to have kids?" "How's the job searching thing going?" "How are your classes? What are you taking? Can you handle them?"
SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP! Everyone. Just chill the fuck out and shut the fuck up. I don't know what's going on. I don't know how I'm going to get a job. I don't know what to do with my townhouse. I don't know I don't know I don't know.
While some of you might think the questions are normal, it gets really annoying after the 10th time. The thing that makes me angry is that while they ask those and demand answers, they don't help me to find a solution.
The MOST annoying one is my mom. She's your typical overprotective Asian mom. While my BF envies that she provides financial support for me, he doesn't know how annoying it is to HAVE to call her 5 times a day to "check in". She doesn't listen. She doesn't stop talking when I try to explain my side of the story. She doesn't stop nagging. She has all my information for everything: banks, credit cards, schools, EVERYTHING. She would call somewhere pretending to be me to get information/update. Sometimes she'll talk on a phone and I will go get a drink of water/pee, and when I'm come back 5 mins later she'll still be talking.
I can't take it anymore. I just want to go somewhere where no one knows me and no one cares to know me. I just want to be by myself. I don't want to call anyone, see anyone, pretend to be anyone. I want to be in Witness Protection Program. I really do. I just want a job, no matter how crappy it is, as long as it pays the bill. I just want to be financially independent. I'm not the little girl and I don't want to be protected anymore. I'm 22 for fuck's sake. Let me be myself.
I want to disappear so no one can find me. Or, I want to win the lottery jackpot and just shove it in everyone's faces to shut them up.
I'm out.

Did you know that there can be so much drama in just trying to live a healthy lifestyle? Yeah, neither did I!
When I first plunge myself into weight lifting, working out and healthy eating, I had no idea that there were so many controversies surrounding this new lifestyle of mine.
From the exercises side alone there are tons different ways to achieve what being fit and healthy is.
Such as the age old squabble between cardio first or resistance training first. This subject has been scrutinized and debated since forever and a day. Will it end anytime soon? I doubt it.
How about them egg whites VS egg yolks war? It seems every other day there's new studies that backed each corners up.
There are a million things that are still debatable out there in the fitness world. One can easily get confused over these stuffs; I know sometimes I still get confused.
Healthy living is a lifestyle of choice, one that is NOT a bandage. Not an 'emergency plan' to loose a few pounds – although lets admit it that would be nice huh? – but let's focus on the bigger picture here.
It is a lifestyle.
Not because it's a trend.
Not because it's a fad!
Not because I want to copy cat someone else's lifestyle.
My journey is MY journey. I owned it because there is no fitness journey that is a carbon copy of our idol, our friend, or whoever it is that you got inspired by.
Don't get me wrong, it is of course good to be inspired by others who are more advanced than us. Heck, I got a serious crush on Jamie Eason and Chalene Johnson. Will I ever look exactly like them by following their programs? Hell no! Why? Because I'm not them!
This is not a one size fits all blueprint, ladies (and gents!)… If you put two people together doing the same programs, following the same diets, they will have different results. Why? Because our bodies are different! That's why.
My herniated discs experience taught me to carefully listen to my body more. What used to be such simple basic moves now required me to focus 200% more, to mind my posture, to being super extra careful.
I'm still weary about trying a heavy load of deadlifts. Seriously, I wouldn't want to aggravate my back. The sciatica pain was a total nightmare!
I was told to STOP squatting but guess what? I'm doing them again now with better posture not with crazy load of weights.
Herniated discs taught me to respect this injury, to work around it and to find what works and what's not. Simple really and that's my journey. My own, not everybody else!
"Any workout is better than no workout." That's what Chalene Johnson keeps saying on Chalean Extreme and I couldn't agree more.
Yes, I am pro muscles. Yes, I no longer want to be stick skinny. I want to have big guns BUT as I learn to appreciate my injury, I realized NOT everyone can do it hardcore. Some prefer Zumba, some prefer to run on the treadmills, some prefer to jog outdoor. The options out so huge you just gotta do whatever works for you.
So what if my friends and I are the only girls in the weight room while other girls filled up the aerobic class? Does that make them less than me? No! They choose their workouts and if they are happy about it, so what? It is still way better than not doing any workout at all in my book! If they do ask questions I'd be happy to explain why I prefer to lift weights but I'm not gonna condemn that they will rot in hell for not lifting.
Hey, I do HIIT on the treadmill…15 minutes that killed me. That might not be some people's cup of tea but I am enjoying it. It's something new that I just recently added on my routine.
Of course you'd find me pinning fitness related stuffs, tweeting it out and share on Facebook. To me sharing is caring, plus I do re-read those stuffs. If that's making me a health freak so be it but I'm not gonna condemn you for not wanting to lift weights and do deadlift.

Who am I to judge what works for you? Your workout got nothing to do with me. It's between you and yourself. Period!
Let us not be a fitness snob. My God, please don't even go there!
To listen to friends telling me that I had inspired them to start eating healthy and to workout more gave me such joys. There are several close friends of mine who had decided to embark on this journey too and you bet I will be very supportive to them. They asked me questions which I happily answer if I happen to know the answer. Just the way I often ask questions to others in higher leagues than me.
What I never anticipate was how there would be haters out there. Well, guess it's obvious they do exists by now.
Those who doesn't understand my way of living often says things like "But your way of eating is expensive!" but it's because they don't know that it doesn't have to be expensive. Not because they are hating. There's a difference between uninformed and pure haters. The uninformed can still change their minds once they understand what it's all about. The haters? Meh!
Clearly, I understand that not everyone will jump into the supportive band wagon and cheering me on. I'm doing this for me anyway not for praise or anything.
IF this journey would inspire others, heck, why not? If I could touch one people's life and see how hard they worked, they ended up inspiring me too. See the cycle? I'm not going to get on a high horse and preach that everyone should follow this lifestyle. Although I do advocate it, again it is an individual journey. Your conscious decisions to start something like this. Not mine, not everybody else's.
I don't want haters, toxic, negative people in my life and this is why I'm declaring it here, in my own blog that I want a drama free life. I'm giving the haters some spotlight here so they know that they are actually pushing me to do better on this journey.
Should the haters accused me of copying someone else's lifestyle so let them!
While the haters busy hating, I will be over here busy working hard, having fun and living my life with joy.
Have you got some haters before? Tell me about them 🙂

Great article… I am just now understanding how things work. I do things according to what works for me. Everybody doesn't appreciate this lifestyle and I'm okay with that…Reply
Living a healthy lifestyle is a choice and so is living an unhealthy life. Like with almost everything in life, how one is developing as an human being is based upon choices and the things that follow making those choices – the life-changing decisions a person makes.Reply
For a big part you shape what and how you are.
JanBierens recently posted..What is YOUR favorite post and what does that say about YOU
I think it's wonderful that you've found this lifestyle that you clearly love, and you're passionate about. Nothing wrong with that at all. I also love that you're not pushy about it with others (so many people who "get healthy" do) – like you said, it's their journey, not yours, and vice versa.
Keep on keeping on, my friend, you're doing great!Reply

I can't do anything strenuous because all that's holding my spine together is a sheet of metal. But I do what I can to stay active like stretching and minor strengthening exersices. Plus i walk everyday. You're right that is a journey. You're doing this for you and your health and that is so important. You strengthening all those muscles will help your spine. Go you gorgeous

I don't see why the haters have a problem with you living a healthy lifestyle. It would be worse if you didn't care and lived an unhealthy lifestyle. Then they'd have reason to criticize you then, too. In the States it's very normal for women to lift weights because that's how you get toned muscles. Aerobics doesn't quite give you the shape. A lot of women do both cardio fitness and weights. Doing weight bearing exercises actually helps to improve bone density to prevent osteoporosis so there are definitely benefits.Reply

Lovely post Mo,
That line "but your way of eating is so expensive", I can't tell you how many times I've heard this and it's just so frustrating. I like to think that eating clean is no more and maybe even less expensive than all the junk that most people put into their bodies.
I mean, for the price of a trip to McD's I can get an entire bag of fresh produce that will last a few days! Not to mention what I most likely won't be forking over for unnecessary doctor's visits, prescription pills and what ever else in the future.
Keep doing your thing and ignore the haters, very inspiring before and after pics too!Reply

Yep! You just gotta find what works for you. So glad you were able to work around your injury. Herniated disks are no joke! So many of the fitness programs now actually work in those exercises that strengthen your ligaments as well as the big muscles – yes, finally. You inspire me. Keep it up, you look fantastic!Reply
