How do you see the current job market? Changing for the better as some economists say it is or still stuck in neutral?
I'm asking because there are two important stories today focusing on long-term unemployment.
Jobless Americans who haven't found work in at least 27 weeks represent one of the more pernicious legacies of the Great Recession, AJC reporter Dan Chapman writes.
In Georgia, 51.3 percent of jobless have unsuccessfully sought work for at least six months, Chapman reports. Only South Carolina (51.8 percent) and New Jersey (51.4 percent) post a higher percentage of long-term unemployed. And only New Jersey surpasses Georgia for the percentage of jobless unable to find work after a year's search, Chapman writes.
Meanwhile, more than 22,000 Georgians who were in danger of losing extended unemployment benefits beginning in June will continue to receive them thanks to last-minute action by the legislature, AJC reporter Christopher Quinn writes.
The extended benefits, which average about $244 a week in the state, kick in for 20 weeks after a recipient has used up 79 weeks of unemployment.
Are you one of those in need of extended benefits? Have you noticed any uptick recently as you continue to apply for jobs? Or is it still a frustrating long shot?
Some people believe extended benefits cause the unemployed to go longer without jobs because they would rather receive federal checks than take jobs below wages they want.
Do you think this is true? If so, is it a widespread attitude or rare?

The contention that people will forego a job to get $244/week in unemployment is laughable. Yes, there may be some slugs out there, but most want a job and the highr payout and benefits which go with it. Why not prvide unemployment, esp for those who have been unemployed the longest, with attending trainning? At least they get paid for doing something to benefit themselves.

All indications are it's improving, but not nearly fast enough. I think a lot of people continue to draw unemployment rather than take a job they don't want and not necessarily because of the lower pay. It really benefits themselves and their potential employer that is looking for a perm.

After a layoff from a great career in 2008 I found work in 2009. I am employed but underpaid. I have a college degree, experience and skills in IT. I have been trying to get another job now for 18 months and nothing. Not only are salaries righteously low – but no one calls back. I understand the economy is bad however you can't equate what I know and can offer to a kid out of high school working at a fast food restaurant. Unfortunately take a look at the ads, tons of hard to get experience wanted … $12 an hour.

I moved here in June of '07 and lost my job in November of the same year. I worked at one place here temporarily before the company closed in December of '08. I have exhausted the unemployment benefit a LONG time ago. I still look for a job everyday. I refuse to allow being unable to find a job keep me down or depressed. Since I have the experience along with others, but didn't have a degree I was often overlooked for positions and have barely received a call back. So, I went back to school. I believe that the job market will improve and one can only hope that the salaries improve and grow as the market improves and grows. It seems like there are just as many under-employed people as there are unemployed people.

Im sorry, even in this down economy, it does not take two years to find a job. Problem is a lot of folks are living in the past, with high expectations, expecting big jobs with big perks. Plenty of jobs, but some people believe they are "above" that pay or title.

@Joe – I don't think that you can put a blanket statement out there based on your opinions and assumptions and pass it off as a fact or the truth in all situations. I think that people in general have accepted the reality of the current job market and economy that we live in. High rates of foreclosures and looming budget cuts everywhere that we turn are a constant reminder that we are not in the same environment as a few years ago. With that said, as an employer, if you have someone with 15 years of Office Manager/Executive Assistant experience are you going to hire them to work in the mailroom or the receptionist even if they have applied to the position? In lots of situations the answer to that is no. Then you also run into the attitude of companies assuming that if a person is currently unemployed then they were not a good employee in the first place and are passed over once a resume or application is submitted. The attitudes, assumptions, prejudices and stereotypes that plague the unemployed are as large of a contributing factor as to why people suffer long term unemployment as the reality of the lack of jobs that are out there to be filled. Regardless of what career field you are in, the reality of the situation is there are less jobs out there to be filled today as there were a few months ago. The reality of the situation is that many of the jobs that were dissolved a few years ago will never return to the job market. Thus contributing to a high unemployment rate more so than an attitude of "people living in the past with high expectations, expecting big job perks."

It's a lot better than it's been the last 3 years. It took me 13 months to find a job making 1/3 of what I was making, which was far less that what I made 15 years ago straight out of college. Then another 12 months to find something that paid half of what I was making. Unfortunately I've had to rely on credit cards the last 3 years to survive. As far as the job market I'd say the last 6 months I had seen more action on my resume than the prior 2.5 years combined.

My experience was similar to Robert H.'s I finally found a job after almost 2 yrs. I am still here after fifteen months, thankfully, but still classified as temp. so no benefits, and when everyone else is off on a paid holiday, I'm off and not getting paid. It took 11 months for me to have something left in my bank account, and one end-of-year holiday period plus a almost a week of snow days, and I'm back to square one. Sometimes feels like I'm not much better off than when I was receiving UI benefits, but I did just pay off a credit card…Also still looking for a better job using my skills, allowing them to increase, and and paying more.

ps to TGIF: "if you have someone with 15 years of Office Manager/Executive Assistant experience are you going to hire them to work in the mailroom or the receptionist even if they have applied to the position? In lots of situations the answer to that is no."
why not? they've proven their worth and are willing or they wouldn't apply (I know, contrary to Joe S., I applied for around 1,000 jobs of EVERY type before finding one…have also felt the age prejudice as well)

Pretty tough to get interviews when one one of the computer-automated questions is "Are you currently employed?". Lie and get disqualified. Tell the truth and get disqualified. Gotta love it.
Then, in order to live you need to liquidate retirement assets, which you pay taxes on PLUS a 10% penalty (I was tought in business law the word 'penalty' was illegal, but not to the IRS). To pay your taxes, you need to liquidate more retirement assets, and the cycle continues.
Banks get bailed out. Homeowners get bailed out. GM get bailed out. What to the unemployed get? The ultimate 'F'-up the 'A'. Sure, everyone in Washington "cares", but I've moved waaay beyond "Hope" and "Change". Empty words.

I have seen the article about the unemployed…people struggling with finding work…and all of you who are moaning and groaning about being underpaid; frustrated because some of you are working a temp job…and this has been ongoing for 12+ months; frustrated that you are looking to find something better…take a look at yourself, in the mirror, then look at the others that are struggling. Those who want to quit their jobs? Best look at the ratio at the present time: MORE PEOPLE THEN THERE ARE JOBS. Those that are getting UI benefits, like myself…are happy that money is coming in. Very fortunate that I have loving parents…I only gripe and swear because there are conditions the employers set forth for applicants, like myself. Age is a factor, lack of long-term employment is a factor…taking my almost 2 years from one full-time job, to the next, shows up…and they frown upon this. Compatible-exact working conditions against your past experience also plays in. More and more companies going overseas because of the dumb-assed tax rates the govt has set forth for all companies in this country…sending work over there, especially Switzerland. It is dumbfounding. So…here is a real lesson to all of you that have legitimate work: stop your complaining…you have work. Those who have a job but hate it…best keep it for a while, for to find other work is hard enough. If you are getting UI benefits, you are fortunate. I feel hard for those that are living off food stamps…family members, etc., it is tough and I thank all, everyday, who are helping me through this recession. Do NOT just go out and take college courses with your loans. Seek out grants (ie. Pell) and get involved in REAL course work that meets the present, economic demands. Just going to school and taking courses is not helping your position. EOS

I have a JD, MBA, and am licensed in several jurisdictions; and have more than 20 years of successful experience. Yet, law firms and companies only want to hire recent graduates so they can pay them less. I am willing to work at entry level pay, but no one will talk to you if you have any experience.

I was laid off last year the day after the owner of the company I worked for came back from a week long vacation in Europe. "Business isn't doing well." I was the least paid person in the office with the longest hours. Before that, I toyed with the idea to go back to school and get another degree. That became a reality a month later. I am now in school full-time and have exhausted my unemployment benefits.
I have exhausted my savings as well, while going to school. I have applied to places from corporate offices to the Dollar General down the street. I have applied to Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, etc…and not even an interview or callback. It's not for lack of trying, so please don't put assumptions that we're lazy and not motivated. I am in school full-time and more than willing to work full-time. Up until this layoff, I have been employed since I was 15, so experience is not a problem. Thirty years of work ethics as well. I am SO tired of people that are employed making assumptions of the long employed. There are plenty of people who DO take jobs for less pay. Grant it, there are plenty of people willing to live off unemployment, but there are many who want a job. YOU are not immune to being laid off, so I hope your smug attitude doesn't slap you in the face.

Until we as a country fix many of the long-term problems that have been brewing and festering for years, the economy will not bounce back as quickly as it did last time. There are too many people chasing too few jobs in a current economy that doesn't have any. Employers are not going to hire an experienced person like me, with 20 years of experience, for a $9.00/hour job, knowing that they will leave as soon as they find something better. Businesses will remain hunkered down with their financial resources until they see some meaningful remedies in terms of public policy that will not affect their bottom line. Also, you can't spend your way out of a bad economy. So, while the economy may be coming back, it is not close to the 300K jobs that need to be created each month to break even (not counting the new crop of college graduates getting ready to come out this summer). Not trying to be all doom and gloom, but I'm afraid that for the foreseeable future there will continue to be real pain for a lot of people.

It has taken me about 2 years to find a full time job, making much less than I used to make and in an area where I have no experience. I stayed on unemployment until I found a part time job making about the same as I was getting on unemployment. Why does anyone think a person would give up unemployment for a job making less than unemployment? That isn't scamming the system, it's called surviving.

I can attest to those commenters with respect to applying to any positions for the sake of working. Employers don't hire them. What is worst are the temporary agencies that won't give you an assignment even though you qualify. The one I am registered with lists numerous positions on the AJC (legal) but when I call to inquire, they tell me their clients only want native Georgians. with the recent influx of people migrating to the South, there are not that many personnel with "Georgia law firm experience". All we need is an opportunity to prove that we can do the job.

I've been out of work for 5 months. I WANT to work, but there are just not full time jobs out there right now. Most employers don't hire from job sites (careerbuilder/monster) so it's really a grass roots job search environment. I took a temp job, which means I won't get my unemployment benefits as long as I'm temping, but at least it shows on my resume that I'm working and WANT to work.
I felt very safe in my job before I was laid off. You never know when it will be you, so you should really ease up the judgement. Most of us looking for work were in your shoes at one point. I was at my job for nearly a decade and now I'm searching again.

I don't understand why people continue to move to GA with the idea that jobs are plentiful here. The media continues to play on the notion that Atlanta is growth story just waiting for the next transplant to strike it big. The reality of the situation is the GA economy peaked in 2001. Since the dot com melt down, the state of GA has not been able to create or lure knowledge based companies that pay real salaries. Instead, GA has returned back to it's1960's playbook of applying tax incentives to low level warehouse and manufacturing jobs, that pay no taxes, add to the trafiic issues, and starve the local schools of tax revenues.

Hey people we would not be in this situation if Georgia wasn't a will to work state. Good people are being laid off so the employer can hire the next people for less. I worked for a company for 19 years' and was liad off last year…As I was looking for a job I looked at there website and the same job I got laid off from "becasue of lack of work" was posted on the website…People wake up and stop complaining. If you don't like the way thing are then you need to vote. and when you do vote make sure the person you are putting in office is working for you (the underdog) and not the rich.

Disclaimer: Long term unemployment sucks. I'm sorry for those in this situation.
HOWEVER, think of the job search like fishing. If you have good bait, you'll catch fish…if there are fish in the pond. The bait is your education, skills, previous experience, etc. If you are not enhancing yourself during your unemployment by taking classes, learning a new trade, or volunteering, then you are failing yourself. The fish in the pond is your location. I know some people are bound to this area for whatever reason, but if you have had no luck finding a job in two years and if you believe you have enough bait, then you need to move. Sell whatever you got and move elsewhere. What will you gain by staying?
Albert Einstein once said, "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".
I was laid-off in April 2009, and it took me until March 2010 to get a paycheck. I worked on school, finishing my degree and completed an internship. I was preparing to move out of the state before landing that internship. However, I knocked their socks off and I was hired. I'm still not at the salary I was prior to the layoff, but I will be in a few months after a promotion. I worked hard to get out of that hole and you can too.

Being a design engineer in Georgia is rough. Jobs keep posting, but no calls. Seems if your out of work and looking, they don't want you. They only are talking to those who HAVE JOBS ALREADY. We are the new 4th class in this country and the new unwashed of America.

One thing not too many folks have brought up here is the fact that majority of people still unemployed after one year are over the age of 45. Three people were let go the same week I was in march of 2010 and all over that age as well as myself, (50). Only one of us has found a job. The benefit I get each week helps pay for gas to go on an interview, printer ink, internet and some bills. I worked for 32 years and never thought I would end up like this at this age. I am one of those hunched over my computer looking all day long for jobs. Put in for too many to count right now and only 5 interviews in over a year. The emotional side of this life is awful also. So many folks think we are lazy and stupid. I have a degree, lots of experience and a good attitude. I would be loyal and willing to learn to get my foot in the door. I have applied at all the fast food places, retail only to be laughed out the door. Why hire me at a good company where I will stay and retire, need benefits, when they can hire a younger person whom the company will never have to invest in. That is what is happening out here and no one seems to care all that most want to do is trash talk those of us recieving benefits.

This is very very simple … in the IT industry, alot of the jobs have been off-shored to places like India and China. Those that haven't yet been off-shored, are taken by immigrants here on a visa. I have not worked with a native born US citizen programmer / developer in many years.
We have also sent most of the manufacturing, which once provided good jobs to the unskilled, over seas to countries like India and China.
However, we want to complain about the hispanics migrating here and taking the low-skill, low pay jobs …
Until something is done about all of the jobs business has off-shored (call job-jacking) and the loss of manufacturing … nothing will change

I'm afraid I'm only going to echo most of the comments in here. I have a dear friend that has been unemployed for 2+ years. She has gone back to school to get training in a different field as the department of labor suggested, but still cannot find work in her past or new field. Thankfully she lives with family and is getting interviews but no one is taking a chance on her right now either because of her credit or because she is "overqualified" for the position. Networking helps to a degree I have passed on job openings in my company to the person at my church that runs our unemployemnt ministry but it's just so very tough right now. Employers are being much more selective in who they hire now than they did in the past and I know that my company is beginning to streamline a lot of positions as a way to save money. Without getting terribly political, I don't really see any drastic economic improvement until after 2012 when we might have some better government leadership in the way of improving economic issues.

I have to agree with the people above who have real "boots to the ground" experience in the difficulties of finding work. MOST PEOPLE especially those that have honed their skills and experience for ten years or more, DO want to share their talents with businesses after-all, having a god job with decent pay has always been a part of the American dream. We were all told that if we put in the time and effort that one day it would pay off. Successful American companies have always valued experience, otherwise how could they have grown? However, in today's job market, it seems that experience is a bad word. Too many experienced workers that are the age 50 or more, are out of work and it's not because of a lack of trying – that is a myth. Many of these people – the unemployed, underemployed, and unemployable – once represented the "middle class" in America. If something doesn't change, I shiver when I think about the long-term effects of lack of employment will eventually have on everyone. How will this nation survive this?

The reality is, there has been very little JOB creation by our current rep's in DC and or GA. And since the tea baggers are now in our Government at both the State & Federal level, they will complete the job that the GOP couldn't, which is to further erode the middle class. Most of the jobs created don't even provide a living wage and yet if we listen to the political assclowns and the monthly BS from the Ministry of Lies (BLS), our Country is in recovery and jobs are plentiful. Now that Wall Street and the Banks are fully in control, next up will be to strip the elderly of medical benefits and go to a voucher system.
Here we are months in to the new people in DC and still no discourse on JOBS or JOBS creation.

I was unemployed for 2 years and 8 months. I have a college degree and at the peak of my career in 2002 I was making over 200K/year. During my unemployment I went through a divorce which left me a single mom to a 5 year old, I lost my health insurance, with no insurance I broke my ankle which was catastprohic financially. I barely scraped by supporting 2 people on unemployment benefits during this time. While also staving off collectors and lawsuits trying to get money from me. I sent out resumes daily, received no replies, I would have accepted anything to feel like a productive member of the workfroce again. I was blesssed to finally receive an offer of employment after 6 months of interviewing with the same company. They are paying me a base salary that I made back in 1997 but I come in here every day happy to be here and vigilant that I pay back the people I had to put on hold while Istruggled to keep a roof over me and my child's head. Are things getting better? maybe a bit. Is the salary levels where they should be given the talent pool? NO Will it ever be the same–NO. But, the struggle has given me an appreciation for doing away with debt, working and managing my money that I have never had and living within my means.

Joe you are an IDIOT! First of all, AGE DISCRIMINATION IS AN ISSUE. I know it, you know it, the unemployed with experience know it, the employers know it, the government knows it and the lawmakers know it.
How about the Department of Labor does an audit to uncover this massive undercover conspiracy against the 45+ club? That's right. If the government really cared (and they do not) the would do a random audit of, say, 100+ companies of various sizes, and see what the average age of the employee work force is…and furthermore, see what the average age is of the new hires within the last three years…..since the recession started. It would be real easy to see how companies flagrantly violate the age driscrimination law.

I've been trying to find a job in Atlanta for 3 1/2 years. My young son lives in the suburbs. Unfortunately, after spending thousands of dollars flying and driving back and forth for one rejection after another I have accepted a job in NJ. What does that tell you about how bad it is in Georgia?? I'm not giving up on being with my son, but this is reality and I would rather take a job anywhere than still be unemployed. I have 2 degrees and several years of solid experience and can't find anything around Atlanta. If I could convince my ex-wife to transfer back to NYC with my son I would pay for the whole move, but thats not going to happen. So I sit in NJ with a job and keep looking in Georgia…one of the worst places in the country to find a job.

I've been unemployed since July 2010; was let go the day before my 52nd birthday — what a gift, huh? Been actively looking every since. Unable to draw unemployment, because I worked for a religious organization (church) that is not required to pay into unemployment. Thank God for a husband will a full time job and no major bills. Have been able to work some part time jobs to buy groceries, pay cell phone bills, buy gas. I just want to work — 30 years of experience, bachelors degree — what does it take? Have been told too many times that I'm "overqualified" for most administrative positions out there; willing to take a paycut; just to have a regular paycheck coming in. Daughter looking to go to college next year; what's a mother got to do?

I did not see anything about the "job fairs" which are a scam for the universities and insurance companies. The last one I went to advertised Coke and other prominent companies would be there. WRONG. The only companies there were Primerica and two other insurance companies. The remaining companies were universities seeking people to go back to school. Why incur more debt? Most of us do not need to go back to school as we already have degrees. We just want to work. The US EEOC is investigating my age discrimination claim and even though I don't expect to get my job back, this company and others will think twice about terminating a person because of their age if they know that the Feds will investigate. There is only one more job fair that I will be attending at the end of April (if I have not secured employment) and only because the venue it is held at is very large (not like the ones held at hotels) and many companies supposedly will be represented. After that, I will continue as I have done day in and day out (on-line, word of mouth and networking).

I also got laid off. The job market looks better than last year. I also have a Master.
No one is taking unemployment insurance in lieu of a full time job. You can live on $244.
I am seeing some age discrimination. I would say stay strong, maintain your mental health, exercise and keep going.
The government need to focus on job creation and invest in education and job creation instead of the current massive cuts. Has tax to the rich ever resulted in the creation of jobs?
The government needs to make it easier to start new business with minimum regulations and have a pool that small business owners can buy health insurances.

Sad, really sad. Who would have thunk it in the good ole USA? Why can't corproate America see that if it puts 10 million people back to work it's creating 10 million households needing its goods and services? What about changing the law so that anyone with 30 years of labor qualifies for Medicare regardless of their age and let them start tapping into their 401(k)s without a penalty? I'm afraid they're depleting their savings looking for a job they'll never find when they could be comfortably retired after downsizing. We've been hiring people to do things we would normally do ourselves to help as much as we can, even to do work at other residences in the neighborhood. We're paying so many water bills the county gave us a discount. (I wish!) Without unemployment compensation the pain would be a lot worse. Indications are hiring is about to explode, but we'll have to just wait and see. All the meetings Obama has had with the top CEOs in the country seem to have wasted time. He needs to knock some heads together and call on their patriotism. I'm afraid the vision the GOP has for our future will make things even worse, at least in the short term. But that isn't going to happen unless they can regain the majority in the Senate and win the WH. About half of us are sitting on $55+ trillion in household wealth. We're going to have to spend some of it to support those who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own.

We need to take ALL federal taxes off of business so the GOP can't use that as an excuse any longer. FICA could be transferred over to the employees over a 7 year period with little noticable effect on take home pay. Benevelovent employers that could afford it could give an extra 1% raise in each year. I do agree with the GOP on one thing; we need to get these issues settled to remove the uncertainty. The Bush tax code changes needed to expire for ALL of us. It makes no sense for the wealthiest among us (who could pay off the national debt with about half of their holdings) to be accumulting trillions of dollars as the government goes trillions more in debt. Unbelievably they're also receiving "entitlements", the largest payments at that.

Money for wars, and more to come as we see it, natural disasters, yet we can not create jobs, when I can take assortments of training and can create a new and furturistic job in a matter of hours, tells me those "old time degrees" don't cut it and heads of companies are clinging to ":dear life" clasping old time time training and work in the companies….self-study and learning all industries works, not a "career path: is no such thing leads kids to search for improbable future jobs, jobs are like Xmas trees, branch to branch, top to bottom and forget old time dragged out re-hash of high school for two yrs in school, get to real job skills to make living…

Melfara's ExamMelfar Task 7A Whitney was sitting in the Bird Sancutary area, trying, to control her aggression, as she had magically bounded herself to do so, when she faced Samusagi again, but this time Samusagi made Whitney afraid, with just her mere presence."Why must I be so automatically aggressive towards that Kitty Ouchi-no-uji, that bug Aarina, or the demons Chari and Issac?" Whitney thought."Easy, their attitude, or in poor innocent Issac's case, just being an Incubus is enough to set you off. Don't forget that dragon." Goldenfang said in Whitney's mind."Oh yeah. I want to kill him, but with Samusagi around, I can't do anything towards him, nor any other student without due cause." Whitney thought."Which means that stupid bug will have free reign to torture you with her taunts." Goldenfang commented.Whitney growled, "Don't remind me, Gold. I still have to catch that dragon Calles for taking my Grandfather Wolfgang's flask, THAT WAS STILL FULL OF THE POTION I NEED!"Than Wh
Whitney's Punishmentmelfar punishmentIt been about a week since her little spat with Kazuhiku over Samusagi. It got to the point where Melfara actually used her magic on them. It scared both Whitney and Goldenfang. After that, Whitney made sure that the headmistress is nowhere around, just in case she lose control over herself, or allow Goldenfang some freedom.Her friends, while she wasn't around, were nervous about the whole situation. On a break from class, they were having some picnic in the bird sanctuary."Something is wrong with Whitney." Kiyoko, Whitney's cousin asked."Yeah. Any sign of, or even hearing, the Headmistress, her ears and tails drooped." Tete sighed.Victoria sighed and picked up from there, "Not only that, but she'll hide to avoid the Headmistress.""I tried to talk to her about it, but she is as tight-lipped as one can get." Majoria, a witch from their class, Class One-One."Yeah. I'm her roommate, and I can't get any information out of her." Syena, the other Class One-One Vampire
The Fight in the Dojo of Melfar Academy"Parentis amorem." and Whitney's staff appears.Outside the Dojo, Whitney caught her breath."You know that she won't tell without a fight." Goldenfang growled.Whitney nodded in agreement, then slammed the door open, "SAMUSAGI ASHIDA-NO-UJI! WE NEED TO TALK!"Samusagi was practicing with the blades, trying to perfect her skills, as usual. She turned towards Whitney's unusual loud voice, but finding herself, being thrusted into the wall, cracking it. Whitney's face was full of hatred, anger, and feeling betrayed."HOW LONG, ASIDA-NO-UJI!" Whitney demanded."What do you mean, Whitney~Desu?" Samusagi asked."Black magic! Dark Magic! NECROMANCY! HOW LONG!" Whitney growled and hissed, "THANKS TO MERGING MORE AND MORE WITH GOLDENFANG, I CAN SMELL THINGS, LIKE A WOLF, NO MATTER WHEN, SAMU! WHEN YOU FRENCH-KISSING KAZUHIKU IN PUBLIC EARLIER, I SMELLED DECAYING FLESH! THE EXACT SAME SMELL THAT IS ON YOUR SKIN RIGHT NOW! SO, UNLESS YOU ARE BATHING IN CORPSES, WHICH HEADMISTRESS WOULD NOT ALLOW
The History of the Corvoclaws, Part 1Corvoclaw history It was about four-hundred years ago, when the one of the more powerful unicorn families in Canterlot, Equestia had their foals. They were the Shimmerlot family, and the day was unique as all three sons of the Shimmerlots was expecting their first foals. The Oldest son, Zeusius Shimmerlot, was a gold-colored colt with a golden mane. The next oldest is Sunrise Shimmerlot, and he was a bit more orange in color, with black mane. The youngest son, is named Moondust Shimmerlot, and he was a dark-purple with a silver-colored mane. Before long, Zeusius' foal was born. A mighty strong-looking colt unicorn. He was named Celescules, as in honor of Celestia, whom will be training the three. The next one born was Sunrise's foal, and it was a filly unicorn. She was uniquely pure black, with gold-and-crimson colored mane. They named her Scorcha Jinjing Shimmerlot, after her mother's mother. The last one born was a colt for Moondust. His co
The Truth of Whitney A. Slayer As soon as Whitney and Kiyoko helped the Elven citizens off of the island, they heard Melfara's voice echo inside their head, "Code Red." None of them knew what that means, but they didn't have time to react. Every student of Melfar Academy was sudden teleported back to their homes. Whitney looked around and saw Kiyoko standing beside her, just as stunned. Ever since the last mission they were on ended in failure, they blamed themselves for the failure. They walked into Whitney's house, where all of her family, as well as Kiyoko's parents were there. Once the family saw them, they were clearly mixed on emotion. Kiyoko, while looking at her parents, begins to cry. Her mother ran over to her, to comfort her, and their grandmother, Victoria Slayer, the Kitsune, walked over to them. "What happened, dearies?" Victoria asked. Whitney answered before Kiyoko could say anything, "Melfar Academy is under attack. Melfara had ordered a Code Red. Kiyok
Demon HuntersThe elevator finally stopping at the bottom, than it opens up to a hidden governmental-like lobby. Everyone walking around with their preferred weapons on hand, and in suits. Most of the Hunters preferred guns of some sort over a sword or a scythe, but there were about a unit amount of Sword-users. All the suits were the same shade of blue, a dark navy-blue. As Amabilis noticed, none of the lady Hunters were wearing skirts. They were all wearing pants.They walked towards the bathrooms, where Amabilis waited outside, with her double bass case. When they came out, they were wearing matching suits and have their weapons visible. Amabilis was going to take her scythe, but Ella stopped her."You're not a part of our group, so you don't have the freedom that we have." Ella said.Reluctentily, Amabilis carried the case, with her weapon still inside. They walked to an all-glass room. There was one guy sitting at a desk. When they approached, they waited for a certain signal. As soon as the ma
Melfar Academy Valentine's Day Task #4!It was getting close to Valentine's Day, and Whitney saw some of her friends, and the child-sized Headmistress enjoying themselves. Curious, Whitney walked over to them, to ask them about their odd behavior."Hey, Tete, Headmistress Melfara, and Victoria, what's going on?" Whitney asked."It's Valchuentine's Day, Whitney. Churely Chuu know about it." Melfara, the Headmistress proclaimed."Yep, and we are going to give our valentines to someone we care about the most." Tete Lion the Oddness smiled."Well, I just want to see their reaction when I do it." Victoria Bennet the Vampire side-smiled, revealing her fang.Than Melfara looked over at Whitney, and smiled, "Don't Chuu have anyone whom Chuu will give a Valchuentine too?"Whitney's face became sadden and her shoulders slooped down, "No. I have no one, Headmistress. Every student would get one, sometimes two, but I never gotten one. It got to the point where I no longer expect to even recieve one, let alone see one. Whenev
Takako: The Wandering ClericIt was a warm, Spring day in the Vareos woods outside of Nilarville, a small woodland town about a half-day walk from the Kingdom of Alatoria. It was a mostly peaceful settlement, where crime is near non-existant. Everyone whom lives within the town worked and on occation, if not for the weekly sermon, walk to a stone tower that appeared as a Silo, but it is actually the home of the Clerics of the town, all of whom were blood-related to each other, the Seishoko-Sha Family. It was one of those days."Takako! Come on! We got chores!~kes" a fifteen-year-old golden-blonde teenager with wolf ears and tail.Soon a ten-year-old, crimson-haired wolf-like Vareos girl came bouncing around the corner, "Coming!~Aru!"They walked into the woods, passing a few from their village. Despite telling their family and few of the townsfolk that they are going to do some chores out in the woods, everyone knew that they were doing some training. They were training with their magic-channeling wands. Takako ha
New Friends at Melfar AcademyWhitney continued towards the dorms, and soon found her dorm, Dorm Room Three. There was no one there. While Whitney was unpacking her belongings; her great-grandmother Lily Hellington's Bible, which was in Latin, as she was from Rome, her great-grandmother's Rosary and Crucifix, her great-grandmother's Latin language song book, her normal clothing and school uniforms, and lastly, her letter writing set, which weighs about fifty pounds.The letter writing set, was her great-grandmother's and the only items that needed replacement are inkwells and paper. The sealing wax was harden, but Whitney decided to wait before she actually try to use the wax. She looked on the door and saw the name, "Syena Mizuki"."Guess she's my roommate." Whitney thought, than decided to walk around for a bit.After awhile, she found a nice place that is covered with flowers, trees and a pond. There, she kneeled down at the edge of the pond and prayed."PATER noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Magic TrickDakota had just finished chemistry and couldn't believe what she learned. Running through the hall super excited about her new found powers, she did not care if she got lost. The cat was too elastic to care. Thanks to her tail and cat balance she was able to run between and around her school mates with ease. A few complained for her to slow down but she ignored them. Her high was too amazing to come down from till she spotted Whitney at the end of the hall walking toward her but Dakota knew she was just walking to her next class. But seeing how she's treated Kazu, the cat wanted nothing to do with the wolf eared girl.Making a detour down a different hallway, Dakota begin to jump around again. Suddenly someone stepped out of a classroom and into Dakota. Because of her speed she was knocked to the floor. She laughed and apologized. Looking up, she was grateful to see her best friend of the school, Andrew. He chuckled and offered a hand to help her up. Taking it, the cat stood and fixed
Task 5, Revealed secret (part 2)The light of the moon shone through the windows and lightened the halls, giving the academy a spooky sphere. After curfew were the buildings completely abandoned and was it whacky silent. A silent that only got disrupted by their footsteps and Victoria's panting. Xenia was holding her wrist as she led the vampire through the halls.'Xenia,' Victoria said between her panting, 'where are we going?''Finding some blood for you.' The word alone made Victoria's body shiver and she sniffed, like she was trying to find it. Xenia brought her to the main building, looking around which way they had to go.'I'm sure the kitchen was this way…' She said to herself. All of a sudden, Victoria collapsed behind her. Startled she turned and looked at the shivering vampire. Heavily panting and shivering she sat at the ground.'Victoria!' Xenia held her shoulders tightly. 'Get a hold on yourself!' she yelled a
After MathThe cat's favorite incubus, Isaac, was kind enough to stop by her dorm room. After finally having the courage to come out of hiding, Dakota allowed him to enter her room. He held up a plate of cookies the boy had made himself. Together they sat on her bed and talked. Isaac convinced the cat that she was no monster since he himself had seen true monsters. He continued on by explaining everyone understood it was not her. To help side track her, the incubus offered to watch a movie with her. Still upset that Calles stole her new movie, the cat looked for something else. A funny movie is just what she needed. After putting one in, the girl joined her friend on the bed. With Dean curled up with Isaac while the couple munched on his plate of cookies which Dakota found amazingly delicious.Halfway through the movie, Dakota had fallen asleep. Dean curled up with the girl as Isaac got up. Whispering to his friend that he was leaving, the girl nodded in her sleep. But she was not able to nap lon
The fight of sexy girlsChari looked at the notice board. It wrote she has to battle with Victoria, the vampire girl. To be honestly, Chari doesn't really interest in fight especially with the girl that she doesn't hate. The succubus walked slowly to Archerys club where Victoria was, wondering how she can skip the battle this time. It seems like no way she could run away from this battle so she'll just finish it as soon as possible then she'll go back and play."Victoriaaaaaa!!!" Chari screamed the vampire's name.Victoria turned back and looked at her calmly. She seems nice enough to be friend with. But that why it's hard to battle her."I guess we have to fight. So Let's do it~!" Chari sang cheerfully."Sure" she smiled.We both changed into our battle suit. Victoria wears a sexy black dress and boots, holding a scythe. She also putted her long white hair up into ponytail, showing her hindneck.
Task 5, Battle at Midnight (part 3)11:37 pm, Melfar-Academy, East Wing:Except for their footsteps that resounded through the hallways, it was scary quiet in the academy. The lights of the moon shone through the large windows, creating multiply shadows where Victoria could be hiding. They were at the end of the east wing of the academy and still hadn't seen any sign of the loose vampire.'Junko,' Damien said, 'where do you think she is?' As a vampire, Junko could know the best of all, where Victoria could be hiding. That, and she knew her.'Well, she's clearly looking for blood, so it would be only natural if she was looking to the biggest source of blood.''What would be the dorms where all the students are sleeping,' Damien said with a highly irritated voice. 'I'll contact Samusagi to tell her, that she'll have to watch the dorms.'11:45 pm, Melfar-Academy, West Wing:Leonel walked protective around Whitney as they walked through the h
Task 7[Punishment] - That day,when... Calles woke up.An ordinary morning. Yawned,got up,as usually,then sat up comfortably on the bed.He remembered he must learn.It was a pain in the lower back,but he still had to. He remembered his mother's worried,pale face,with her pure smile,but somehow her eyes always looked as if she was crying. Calles let out a deep sigh,then grabbed a French book.Sarted to read it.In Calles' mind: Damien Cornett was double-talking something about the French people. Suddenly his clothes transformed and a hilatious tunic with panstyhose popped on on him.-Here it goes again…-Calles rolled his eyes.-Calles! To le jaile[jail] withz him! – Damien screamed.Calles threw away the book and crossed his arms. Suddenly he remembered his little chest. A wide grin appeared on his face,then under his bed,he took out the little box. He was so proud.It got bigger. Just a little bit,but it still was bigger. Calles stared at it deliriously fas
Settling a scoreSettling a scoreWith a smile Aarina walked down the hallway. She had just checked her test scores on the notice board in the main hall of the academy. With almost full score she had passed every single test, including French and the practical exam of chemistry.Seeing that she would have the day off due to the fact that headmistress Melfara was still preparing the final exam, Aarina had planned to visit the small elven settlement across Wayfort River.Humming softly to herself, Aarina made her way to the large entree door of the academy. The young Whitefang had settled down on her shoulder, clicking happily and munching on a large cockroach it had caught earlier that morning.However, when Aarina and her pet exited the academy, both of them hissed in annoyance almost simultaneously. The reason for that was the bright and warm weather, something Aarina hated and despised. Being part spider and thus a being a creature of darkness, she preferred shadowy places over broad daylight, especi
Melfar Academy: The Final Decision"Kitsune Asami ""Here!""Tachibana Koji""Present!""Yamaguchi Junko""Here!""Ashida-no-uji Samusagi""...""Ashida-no-uji?"Reaka looked over the class."Absent"It was the seconds week when Samusagi stopped attending classes. After her last fight with Whitney, the dojo got closed by the headmistress. Since then she did practise. The girl didn't even leave her room she had too much on mind. Latest evidences made her doubt her abilities. She lost control over the Yokai's blood, someone spread a rumor about her being Kazu's lover, she had a fight with whitney. The worst was almost killing Melfara. She doesn't remember it clearly enough. Still, her little cousin is in pain because of her. This hurt the most. Sam came to the academy to protect her. The girl was laying on the bed, facing the wall. Her hair was untied and messy, she was wearing underwear with the upper part of the uniform. She heard people passing the door of her room. Someone koncked."Sami-chan? It's me Victoria."The b
Task 6 - In Town:The Robbed Robber-AHOY,LAND! – Calles shouted,as he sat up on his bed,while waking up from a very adventurous dream,pointing on the wall,as if that was the land he found.He yawned,stretched and looked around.He was alone in the room. He got up,dressed and then sat on his bed drinking rum. It felt really good on the morning ,a fresh,powerful flavour running down in his throat.He grabbed the chemistry book,and started reading,but after two lines,his head spaced out. He sighed,then closed the book,then went out. On the corridor he bumped into the French teacher.-My bad! – Calles said,raising both of his hands,as if he was arrested.-Well well,the troublesome dragon. I'm glad I could finally found you,actually. Here. – Damien Cornett took out two books from his leather bag. – You must study these. One is with cultural and historical events ,the other one is grammar. Good luck and improve yourself! – then he turned away and left Calles with his whiny face.-No…j
Whitney's day out and a new arrivalOnce the Exams were finally over, it was the weekend, and Whitney decided to finally check out the town that is on the island. Kiyoko wanted to join her, and they both were wearing their normal casual outfits. Kiyoko was wearing her normal Tokyo-style attire, while Whitney was wearing a White long-sleeve shirt, with a pair of black dress pants. She was wearing a white Beret that her grandfather Wolfgang had gave her for her birthday, with the Vatican mark sewed into the side. As well as her Rosary. She had a decent sized flask fromGrandfather Wolfgang's time in the second World War. The Swiss flag covers up the original flag that is on the flask. He's Swiss, but served as a Merc.As they got into town, Kiyoko was complaining about food, as usual. Before long, she found a restauant that reminds her of home. The concept of it confuses Whitney beyond belief.Kiyoko grabbed Whitney's arm, "Come on! It'll be fun! And I'm starving!"They entered the establishment, and there was nothing but m
Poetic PsychosisIn thirty seconds, the next shell would fall. Every night was the same, but every night Lorenzo experienced it as if it were the first time. His throat felt swollen; breathing was hard. He glanced around at the others; young men like him who had been shipped out in the name of honour and freedom. There was no honour in this, no freedom. Only death behind your eyelids, and a fear so gutting, that it carved out your innards and left you a hollow husk. Lorenzo tried to breathe, tried to assure himself that he was still whole, still made of flesh. They had lied when they told him he was ready.Matteo ran towards him, arms out, rifle swinging uselessly at his side. He shouted for him to run, but Lorenzo remained motionless, unable to move as his friend's warning was lost in the constant blare of gunfire. None of them were ready."The cycle is repeating. It is not safe." The voice was soft and weak, yet it carried over the gunfire and battle cries without impediment.Lorenz

There are an infinite amount of ways that we can find happiness, purpose, and laughter out of life.
But far too often human beings have a tendency to focus on the negative.
Whether it is due to society, upbringing, or something else, most of us have lost the happy innocence of our youth and now…

"Oh, you're one of those..."
That they arent someone whos worth being a part of my life. Life is too short to waste time with people who only wanna bring you down!
My husband does this all the time. It could be about something he doesn't know anything about and when I make a comment about something we see on TV, he has this need to defend the "other side" no matter how ridiculous. Today it was about a football pla<x>yer getting cut for having Type II diabetes. I have Type I and I know a whole lot more than he does about diabetes. I know how both types work and all the differences between the two. There was a commentator who said some ridiculous statement about "hundreds of athletes having Type II diabetes." I looked at my husband and said, "He is so stupid for saying that." My husband insisted he was right and went to look the information up online. Of course, he realized I was right. When I referred to the guy as stupid again, my husband had the nerve to tell me to "please refer to him as 'uninformed' and not 'stupid.'" I was incredulous. I said, "Why on earth do you care what word I use?" He said, "Because I like that commentator." My mouth dropped wide open. I said, "Are you trying to defend this person whom you've never met?" He maintained his position and I lost it on him. This is ridiculous! He ALWAYS defends the opposite position from my own. It doesn't matter how ridiculous he sounds or how wrong he is. It's like a sickness for him. Why on earth does he do this??? It feels so disrespectful and I'm just exhausted from it happening all the time.
Go through this daily with my husband no matter what I say. This is from a man who has a problem reading & understanding what he reads, while if I see letters, I read it no matter what or where.
Thats like my husband lol he dissagrees with everything i say or think but I love him I just feel we have nothing in common
I have a friend who begins every response to what I've said, regardless of topic or subject matter, with "No...." Sometimes she starts with no and then says exactly what I said, but using different words. It's the most annoying thing. I swear if I said the sky were blue, she'd say "No... it's aqua." Good Grief!!!
LOL! Me too. Takes patience & practice dealing with someone like that but I say that if you don't care for them enough to work through it then it's prob best to part ways. My boyfriend and I have this issue & since I wish to cont our relationship I felt that it's been worth the effort. :) I think ignoring it woulonly go so far & burn you ou
I start to avoid them and cut them out of my life. I find it really annoying and frustrating as regardless of what I say, they just tend to disagree. Constructive criticism is good but not all the time and definitely not if its just for the sake of disagreeing. If I wanted to debate I would have gone into politics or been a lawyer!!! Also, all that negativity is hard to be around all the time - I'll rather surround myself with more positive folks.
Oh, that person ..whatever, the one that always has to disagree, be negative, even if you said the sky is blue today, they would disagree, oh yes, I know that person..they also have the worst short temper, paranoid, and was a bf two years ago ...completely irrational and tried to justify all kinds of over the top psycho stuff, and it always started with disagreeing, even if I just sighed...not kidding, oh you sighed, why did you sigh is there somethig wrong with you, whats the problem..and it went from there, they were absolutely psycho and I was left bewildered, I would apologize even after they broke everything in the kitchen, it didnt matter what I said...then they blamed me...and yes they always disagreed...and left me black and blue...quite often...they called themselves God like, not kidding..they were far from it.
I am married to such a person. Saw none of this & even worse behavior until I was married one (1) day.
No matter what I say, he questions it. Once I was putting sugar on strawberries & he told me I was putting too much. I asked if he knew what I was doing & of course he didn't but loved the strawberry short cake later. This from a man who doesn't cook anything other than pancakes but always praises what I cook. The day after we got married we were looking at the menus & I said that is what I order lasted night but didn't get. He told me I didn't know what I was talking about without even know what I was talking about. I said I ordered the surf n turf but didn't get the scallops. Over & over I was told I didn't know what I was talking about serf n turf wasn't beef n a seafood. He got so loud everyone was looking so I just got up & left him sitting there. Since, it has just gotten worse, which explain why in the 5 yrs we have been married we have been together only about 1 3/4 year off n on!
Same here. :) I've actually told my boyfriend once: that if I said the sky was blue, he would say no it's brown. I got pretty tired of it & started mellowing; I started to take 'me' out of that problem when I started to view it as his flaw & not as something justified cuz I was doing something wrong. I started handling it differently cuz I stopped being so upset. Congrats to everyone who were laid back abt it. :) Today, he tried teaching something to me that I just read to him like 3 days ago. I told him what I felt: that I'm offended that he's trying to teach me something that I just told him. I think that I've made progress & so has he but we both need more practice saying things differently. I honestly believe that for basically his whole life he's known more than others but maybe he's secretly afraid of not being 'smart.' That's when it helped me more. :)
I had a tenant like that once - he thought he was so smart if I said the Sun's going to rise tomorrow he'd say "You can't PROVE that". That God he's on the West Coast now - FAR away.....
That I may as well be with someone else - and I act upon it!
I stop talking to them.
I used to know someone like that. I haven't seen her in over 25 years.
frustrated at times.. because sometimes it is just so obvious that they are saying it to be contrary but whatever floats their boat.. one of my dearest friends is like this from time to time.. it's so funny because she will disagree with me about something so strange and then in a few days she'll bring it back up and mention how so and so told her something so now she is agreeing with it (what I said in the first place) funny after all these years
its frustrating...no lie... i get into it with my dad all the time. i love the guy alot but its almost like any idea i come up with is trash just because im too young.
Angry, there pathetic people that generally dont have anyone or anything else.
True, know only of one & they don't even have one friend & none of their family have anything to do with him, even his kids
Ugh, I feel like talking to this person is pointless and a waste of my time... unfortunately it is my boss. I have lost all care to communicate with him. He comes to me seeking advice and information on how to do something when I start making suggestions he wants to always question it. Why come to me in the first place. Do it yourself and then come to me after when you want me to fix it the right way, AFTER the fact. Don't waste my time.
The real issue is he is unqualified and I think he gets insecure and this is his way of holding me under his thumb. Good for you! I have been doing this stuff for 15 years and have a degree in it that is why YOUR boss hired me.
In an acquaintance/friend-of-a-friend situation, I keep them at a distance and determine that we will never be close friends.

In a mate/significant other situation, which I'm currently in, and she questions EVERYTHING I say/suggest--from where to place a new plant in the garden, to how better to move a really heavy piece of furniture, to my own statements and recollections--it makes you feel as if you're never going to be trusted, never going to be allowed to lead, and that they must have a death grip on control at all times. In other words, it's infuriating, and it sucks.
thats my mother !!!
That its time to let someone else do mom's yard...;op
there's some statement that one would like to say,

not ready to listen to others but his/her own..

and you can have the choose to see if you want to stay in that loop..
I don't know, there are always gonna be people who disagree with you sometimes, I even have agreed with people who I don't tend to agree with at all......I can't imagine why they would stay around you if they ALWAYS disagreed with you . And if you are the one who ALWAYS disagrees with this person, why do you still go around them?

For the week, September 2012 corn jumped $0.84 and December corn up $0.55. September soybeans surged $1.44 and November soybeans $1.34. See this week's price movements:
The nearby corn and soybean charts resemble a bottle rocket's launch pattern:
Corn September 2012 (CBOT)
Soybeans August 2012 (CBOT)
Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group, says crops are deteriorating in front of our eyes as each day passes. "This crop is going down fast."
Gulke says he believes the trade is already trading a national corn yield average of 135 bu./acre, but even that number could decrease with new crop condition rating information from USDA.
"Monday morning, we may see the biggest drop in crop condition ratings in corn and soybeans in history. Regardless of whether its 6 or 10 or 12 points down, this crop isn't getting any better."

Stillman's May B Winners at Losing
:hiya::hiya: Welcome to the May thread of Stillman's Losers! We are a friendly bunch dedicated to kicking the fat to the curb once and for all! Please join us and feel free to post your thoughts, questions, success stories and rants and be prepared for a warm welcome! No matter what Stillman's plan you are on, we welcome you and would love you to join the rest of us losers on this journey. Lurkers! May is the month. We are looking forward to see a lot less of everyone!!! :laugh:
Hooray for May!!! Come one! Come all!!
OK.. so what does everyone have on their minds on this first day of May? Due to the rain, I have to cancel my morning walk but I'm thinking some Isometic crunches may be in order: Oh and just in case you forgot, here's the recap:
Lay on your back with your knees bent and legs in the air, cross feet one over the other
Slowely bed at the waist using your ab muscles until your head is a few inches off the ground
Hold pose for a few second, release
do five sets of 10 ..
Ready, set. . Go!!!
Done yet, Al?
Found it!!:hiya::hiya::hiya:
New month, new avi, Im2!!! I like it!!!
New to diet
I have literally just started this diet 2 days ago and it seems to be going ok, apart from an initial glitch concerning bacon.
Just got a quick question, if you get a sweet craving which I know I will as I have a sweet tooth, are you allowed a small amount of sugar free jelly (I think it's called gello in the USA)?
Hi Rhian! :welcome: You'll do great here, it's a great supportive bunch!!:heart: Yeah I think Stillman said you could have some sugar-free jelly..(I'm not 100% sure tho).be careful cos it could cause more cravings! Are you from Ireland or the U.K.? I never know the difference between jelly and jam in the U.S.!!
Ok peeps!! Me and my bike have a date!! I shall talk to ye later!!
Thanks for the advice, don't want to do anything to ruin my diet, it seems like a nice friendly forum here and I am sure that I will need some support on this diet!!!
I am from the UK by the way
O and if you mean, Jello as in Gelatin. .I think that's OK. . I know some peeps put it in their Cottage cheese..
Again! :welcome:
Gonna go find a clean spot on the work rug now! For real. Gonna do it!
OK. .me too . .
Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow
sugar free gelatin is fine, but may cause a stall in some. (the artificial sugars) I use Crystal Light (a sugar free drink mix) to keep my sweet tooth at bay. I would stay away from jelly or jam. (Actually strawberry jelly might taste good on chicken) :eek: Stick with the gelatin and if you arent getting good results, you may have to stop.
Hi ladies!
Quick check in as I am at work and it's going to be a busy busy busy day. I think it's supposed to get up to 88-90 degrees today and the humidity is out of control!!! Agh, bad hair day, fo sho. It's already kinda tough to breathe out there! Anyway, down half a pound today. :) Today is going to be lean stuff but I might have a higher fat dinner to prep for tomorrow... Worried since I am going my favorite wing place with my friends, before we drink, that the fat is gonna go right through me, like it sometimes tends to do!!! :eek::blush: Not cute.
Anyway, thanks for letting me get all that off my chest yesterday, lol, feel better. We are all so different and I think there's someone here for each of us, to give us the words we need to hear, at the right time. :hugs: Okay, gotta eat my hard boiled egg, I'm starving!!! Have a great day everyone and I will check in when I can!
:hiya: GWN!!!! Woohoo on the 1/2 pound loss!!
Well ladies...I did my crunches (only 3 sets of 10) My boney spine couldnt take the hard floor. sorry. I tried! I do think I already feel it in my tummy though. Those things work!
BTW: my body does not take well to exercise...feeling a little pukey..:sick:
Congrats on the loss Gwn!! Just wondering s Tragic Kingdom reall the name of a place??!!
Ok peeps--what do ye call the fruity sugary thing you spread on toast?? And the thing you eat with icecrem?? It's been bugging me!! (i like to know these things!!)
Well I'm back!! Miss me???? I did an hour and 15mins on the bike while listening to Gaga! And now I'm having a tin of tuna and tea!
I have to get back to it!!
Actually I'm feling much better after my bike ride!!:D
<---------------For you, Al---Gaga cupcakes!!!!
You know what Jello is then, right? It is just a brand name for Gelatin. .
GT: Cute Avi. .
OK I'm prancing around the house in shorts and a cami. . letting it all hang out! I really gotta get a shake weight. . Dang!
Hey Al: I just got my book today in the mail: "when you eat at the refrigerator, pull up a chair.. 50 ways to feel thin, gorgeous and happy.. I can't wait to sit down and read it. . I'll report what I find out!
But then what's the wobbly stuff you put with ice-cream, not the syrup--you make it by melting a chunk of it in boiling water and then letting set in the fridge-we call it jelly.It has flavours like strwbery etc. It's not the clear thing-that's gelatin I think!
Nope didn't know that's what Jello was-thought that's what ye called jam!!!

You can learn a great deal about WWII through the eyes of a man who was there.
J. Ted Hartman is the author of a just-released memoir of his experiences as an army tank driver in WWII. On Saturday, he held a book signing at Barnes and Noble Bookstore.
It's the story of Hartman as a young man, who was just at 19 years of age when he drove a tank into combat for the 11th Armored Division. He faced fierce attacks against the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge.
Hartman gives riveting accounts of the shifting tides of battle, concentration camps, and the final allied breakout. Hartman retired a few years ago as Dean of the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine.

- Memorization and Study Strategies
- Organization
- Reasoning
- Strategy and Planning
- Decision Making
- Opinion Formation
- Perspective Taking
- Creativity and Idea Generation
The Brain Builders curriculum mirrors Brain Camp in its content and aims, but offers students a broader and deeper experience with more opportunities for cultivating their skills. Learn more about Brain Camp here.
In partnership with Her Majesty Queen Rania's Madrasati education initiative, Think Unlimited is training 250 Jordanian public school teachers to become Brain Builders facilitators. Partnered with and supported by Madrasati volunteers, these teachers will implement the curriculum as an extracurricular program at their schools. The Brain Builders initiative is currently focused on under-resourced schools in the Mafraq area of Jordan.
Training teachers to facilitate the Brain Builders curriculum not only increases the number of schools and students Think Unlimited can reach, but also equips teachers with new methods and ideas to take with them into the classroom.
