I love this -
mommie09, Bristol, CT - 02/24/2011
I love this. The engraving came out perfectly and was a good size vs. the necklace. overall I'm very pleased with this. I bought it as a birthday gift to my husband from our son and he loved it as well.
Simply Amazing -
PinkOpal, Tylertown,Ms - 02/08/2011
I ordered this gift for my boyfriend as a gift. i got two, one with his name and one with my name. I was skeptical about ordering it because i didnt think the quality would be worth it. I was very very wrong and when it came i was very very pleased.The shipping was also great. I placed the order on Thursday and recieved my package on Monday. The engraving was great also. I liked everything about the purchase as well as the website. I will be making future purchases with Eves Addiction.com i am a VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect! -
Lexi, Ft Campbell, KY - 02/13/2010
I ordered this and engraved the back and front being skeptical about how it will look. So I shipped it to my address first so I could see it before I sent it to my boyfriend. When I opened it my eyes lit up. It is perfect! The words are whiteish silver so they show up just fine. I could not be more pleased with this product. I'm sure my boyfriend will love it. One piece of advice. I ordered the 20in chain and it is still a little short so I suggest you order at least the 24in chain for a man. Thank you so much Eve's Addiction, you officially have a new customer.

- Makes Compost
- Falls apart
Best Uses
- Sitting in a landfill
First one lasted 3 weeks before it cracked right down the middle. Called the company and they wanted me to send it back and wait 4-6 weeks for a replacement. Called Gardner's Supply and they immediately sent me out a brand new unit and didn't want the old one back for sanitary reasons. Unfortunately, this led to the first unit and it's foam construction to be tossed in a landfill. Kind of ruins the whole environmental feel-good part of composting.
Second unit has lasted 6 months and makes compost. However, whenever I push the transfer button, nothing transfers. I need to reach my hand in the unit and pop the trapdoors open with a screwdriver then manually push the compost towards the trap doors while the mixing bar rotates. I end up with very dirty hands.
The new unit now makes loud clicking noises when it mixes and I'm watching the seams bend and stress again. Looks like this one will crack in half any day now.
Gardner's Supply is a great company. For the sake of their own reputation, they should stop carrying this defective product.

Best Uses
- Kitchen scraps
I gave this composter a good review when I first purchased it but I must change that now. The composter really does work but only for a few months before it starts to fall apart. I took great care of the composter, kept it in my kitchen and followed directions scrupulously. The design is great; the materials the unit is made out of are not. Nature Mill uses what looks like compressed styrofoam and it simply is not strong enough to hold the electric motor and air pump in place. The electric motor that turns the mixing arm starts to twist in it's slot which then puts pressure on the air pump causing it to get louder and louder. Meanwhile the pressure from the twisting arm also starts the process of splitting the entire unit in half.
Gardeners was fantastic for replacing the first composter. I have absolutely babied the replacement yet it is still doing the same darn thing. You can't keep the motor from twisting in it's place. I have tried replacing the worthless little metal strips that are supposed to hold it in place to no avail. I even tried using metal C-clamps to hold the composter together.
Bottom line - composter works but until Nature Mill reinforces the back of the machine where the motor and pump are, don't waste your money. The unit will break on you no matter what you do.

Best Uses
I was in the market for a compost bin and saw this in the catalog. Wow, really expensive. But with delayed interest free payments I could swing it. Am I ever glad I made that decision. All the kitchen garbage including left over meat get put in the kitchen compost jar. When it is full all goes out to the composter we keep on a small table in the garage. This small but mighty unit heats and churns up the garbage and turns it into compost that goes out to the garden. All in a weeks time. I'm in love.

Best Uses
- Kitchen scraps
I originally ordered an outdoor compost tumbler which was discontinued. Norman from Gardener's Supply called to update me on the status of my order and mentioned the electric composter which he had tested for three months. Initially,I was hesitant because of the price but since I had a gift certificate, the price was reduced enough for me give it a try. I am so pleased that I did because this composter really does what it is supposed to do and produces excellent compost within two weeks.
Some suggestions to consider if you plan to go with this composter.
1. There is a learning process so follow the written directions scrupulously. Especially add the wooden pellets and baking soda (included with the order) to each large deposit. The pellets make a big difference to insure the compost stays dry and you avoid compost "tea."
2. Put a large pan under the composter. I use an old cafeteria tray but a cookie sheet will do. I have a tendency to spill scraps when dumping into the composter or pulling out the lower chamber where the compost cooks.
3. I placed the composter in the garage which is convenient to both the kitchen and outside. It does not take up much space and is relatively quiet.
4. Within one day, fresh scraps are broken down and the compost is starting to steam. Within a week, I make a transfer and by the second week, I have lovely compost to place in the garden.
The process is efficient and so much easier than using my outdoor compost bins......which I have been doing for 25 years. Despite the cost, I would highly recommend this product. It works and the compost is perfect.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
My family has purchased perhaps six or seven Nature Mill composters. At first, they work superbly, and the rich, black compost is a delight to behold.
However, after 3-4 months of use, the composter will inevitably break down. The doors will jam, or the stirrer bar will break down, or the frame will split. Rather than acknowledge their poor engineering, and ship you a new unit, Nature Mill will have you mail the broken unit back to them (at your own expense), and (a mere 6-8 weeks later) will send you a jerry-rigged "repaired" unit back.This will have all sorts of issues. You will then engage with their support staff, who will treat you with condescension, and suggest that you are an incompetent composter, rather than admit their product's mechanical flaws.
Reluctantly (since I am an avid composter) I must caution against dealing with Nature Mill.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Had been researching composters for quite a while. With an expansion of our graden this year decided to take the plunge. Living in NE was drawn to this product due to the remarkably quick production of compost. Have placed the unit in my cellar by request of my wife, but have been surprised at how quite it is unless it's running the mixing arm or dropping the compost into the bin below. It seems to be dumping without me initiating the process, but so far have only had to take a small amount of uncomposted material and place it back up into the main chamber. So far have been very happy with the purchase.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
This product is not as simple to use as the videos and descriptions imply. After using this for several weeks I am still making sludge, not compost. After a few days it did quiet down quite a bit and when closed is not smelly.
- Easy to use
- Quick acting
- Pricey
Best Uses
- Make Compost Indoors
I can get a batch of compost in less than a week even in the winter. I have 6 compost bins outside but they are out of commission when it's cold! I'm going to get rid of my worm bin now. This is so much easier and faster. I love this thing and if it breaks, I will buy another one. Pretty pricey though. I was able to buy it by making payments. Thanks for making that available for your high cost items you carry.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Fast
- Works On Meat And Dairy
- A bit stinky
- Expensive
Best Uses
- Kitchen scraps
This composter really works. It is amazing how fast it turns scraps into lovely compost. Big benefit is that it not only composts veggie scraps but works on meat and dairy as well. It requires sawdust pellets and comes with a starter box. You can buy more pellets at a lumber yard which are quite inexpensive and all natural. There is a bit of a learning curve to get the process going, but once you do it works just fine.
Only two complaints though. It is stinky but only when you open the lid to add in scraps. When the lid is closed there is absolutely no smell at all. It is quite expensive as well. It does make a little bit of noise, especially when churning the compost but not enough to complain about.
I bought this composter for all my kitchen scraps. I have an outdoor compost pile for the summer (3-4 months), but I live above 10,000 feet in elevation and the winters are too long and too cold for the rest of the year.

Cheap hotels near Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy
Take in the city from a higher, higher and higher viewpoint on the Spanish Steps, which is well worth the 138-step hike up (or down).

The Keats-Shelley Memorial House is also worth a visit. Keats resided here during his final days and it now houses an extensive collection of manuscripts, letters and other writings by Keats, romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, Oscar Wilde and more.

Summer is about to arrive and that means the school year is just about finished. Know someone who is graduating and getting ready to go into the world? Why not give them some helpful smartphone apps. Weve rounded up five apps that are sure to help grads succeed.
1. Theres no place like home
For many graduates, the end of the school year means they need to find a new place to live. Depending on the area there can be tons of competition for any one rental. Help your grad stay ahead of the curve with the Trulia - Homes For Rent mobile app. Users can create personalized searches based on location, rooms, and price range. Theres also the ability to add open house times to a calendar and get alerted when new properties come on the market. When grads find a place they like they can take notes about it and even post it to Facebook to see what friends and family think of the potential spot.
Compatible OS: Android, iPhone
Cost: Free
How to get it: Visit the app market residing on a compatible smartphone
2. Help Grads find a dream job
As most people in the workforce know, graduating school is just the beginning. Finding a job is an entirely new skill to learn. In todays job market, there are loads of websites filled with new job listings. Visiting all those sites and sifting through listings daily can be exhausting. Instead, show your favorite grad how a smart mobile app such as Hire-A-Droid can do all the heavy lifting. The app is essentially a job search engine that accesses multiple job search sites in multiple countries. All the user has to do is enter the type of job wanted and let the app do the rest. If they find a search with good results, it can be saved so the lead can be followed up on later.
Compatible OS: Android
Cost: Free
How to get it: Visit the app market residing on an Android smartphone
3. This to do list can help save money
Due dates dont stop when school is finished. They just are required for something other than schoolwork bills. Help grads develop good financial habits early with the Billski Bill Tracker. While there are tons of apps available for keeping track of finances, the Billski Bill Tracker takes a different approach. It just reminds users when to pay their bills. With this app grads will only have to enter the basic information: bill type, amount, date due, and when theyd like an alarm reminding them to pay it. Paying bills on time can means loads of savings in late fees.
There is a paid version of the app available for $1.00 that allows users to backup and restore data to/from the SD card and view the screen in landscape or portrait mode.
Compatible OS: Android
Cost: Free or pay $1.00 for extra features
How to get it: Visit the app market residing on a compatible Android smartphone
4. Lend a helping hand in the kitchen
Most grads starting out probably arent cooking for a family of four, but that doesnt mean they shouldnt get a chance to make any of their favorite recipes. Since most recipes are meant to serve four it can be difficult to get the measurements for just one or two right. Enter the free recipe converter. It has all the tools needed to help them adjust recipes so they can make the amount they want. This app does the math and so they can create the meal they want.
Compatible OS: Android
Cost: Free
How to get it: Visit the app market residing on a compatible Android smartphone
5. Stay connected in the cloud
Cloud storage is all the rage these days and theres good reason. Its an easy way to have and share access to documents, videos, pictures, music, and more. Why not keep in touch by sharing access to photos and other files on Dropbox. Its an easy to use password protected app that lets users create folders and organize things like email attachments, albums, and songs that can be accessed via a data connection (WiFi or data network) without taking up storage space on a smartphone.
Compatible OS: Android, iPhone, BlackBerry
Cost: $4.99

Cobh, the Queenstown Story: Cobh is a town of three names (Cobh, Cove and Queenstown) and millions of memories. Many books and novels have been written about the Great Famine in Ireland in the 1800's, the mass exodus of people in search of a better life elsewhere, and the pain and suffering during their journey. Cobh was at the centre of this mass migration, was an important port of call for ocean liners up to 1950 and is linked to the sinking of two luxury ocean liners. Cobh's … [Read more...]

I love watching the Olympics. I am pulling for Team USA of course, but my Canadian heart wants Canada to win everything! It was a great weekend of highs and lows, and I cannot believe how late I am staying up to watch. Especially since I could easily watch online during normal hours.
I was very emotional watching the brother/sister team of Roman and Alexandra Zaretski in the ice dancing competition. As an Israeli born Jew, who moved to Canada as a child, it was a moment of incredible pride. To see them dance on a world stage to Hava Nagila was magical. Yay for Israel.
It would be amazing to have the ice dancing medals go to Canada, USA and Israel. What a trip that would be. I wish them all well tonight, and can't wait to watch. My prayers and best wishes go out to Joannie Rochette and her family. I hope she does well tomorrow, and I am in awe of her strength.
As for the hockey game between the USA and Canada last night, come on boys. The USA came in talking trash, and the Canadians had an unearned sense of entitlement. They were playing like it was an opportunity for another miracle on ice, not a game that had no medal at stake. It was a great game, but let's hope they all grow up in time to fight for gold.
I want to know why it is that everyone at NBC refers to everything hockey as "Ice" hockey. It's the winter Olympics people, we know it is being played on ice. I don't believe roller hockey is played at the WINTER OLYMPICS. Shut up already with the ice. I love this game and hopes Canada takes Gold!
Tonight is "Women Tell All" night on The Bachelor. I was at the taping of this special and it is explosive. It will be interesting to see how they cut down hours of taping, into a 2 hour special. We will see the return of this years skanky whore, Rozlyn, and it is awesome!
You are going to love the part where she comes back to talk to Chris Harrison. This chick is crazy and I can't wait to talk about it tomorrow! I've been a good girl and kept quiet, but it airs tonight and tomorrow, the gloves are coming off because I've got a lot to say!
I think Tenley should be the next Bachelorette. She deserves to be happy and find love. Jake is not the man for her, and she should be praying that he does not pick her, so she can be the Bachelorette, and find the right guy.
It will be entertaining to watch the girl who has only been with one man, make out with the masses. She will go from Disney princess, to Bachelorette whore, in a matter of weeks. THAT will be good television.
I cannot explain why, but I love the Kardashian family. They are fascinating. Never before has such a large group of people been rich and famous for absolutely no reason. This is a very entertaining and attractive bunch, and I'm hooked.
To be clear, it's an interesting show to watch, but there is no way that a movie needs to be made about these people. Are you kidding me? There is seriously a movie about their lives being planned. We already know EVERYTHING about them, so why a movie?
Kourtney needs to dump her baby daddy. This guy is a lying, cheating loser. I feel so sad when she defends him. I get that she has a new baby, and wants to give him a family, but she is better off alone. She has a ton of support and help, and this guy is toxic.
Khloe scored when she married big. She went from being known as the least attractive sister, to being the Laker wife, in a matter of weeks. Good for her. She loves her sisters and I hope she is happy. I like that she is not afraid to say what she is thinking, even when it gets her in trouble.
Kim is truly stunning. She has managed to take her one talent, looking beautiful, and turned it into a business. Not since Ryan Seacrest, has someone created such a huge career out of nothing. Makes sense Ryan produces her show, as they have so much in common.
Kris Jenner works hard, and I give her credit for taking her family to this level. It's impressive that she has kept Bruce Jenner in the news 34 years after he won gold. She is good at what she does, and clearly loves her children.
Not sure how much she loves herself however, when she allows her children to talk to her like they do. There is no respect there, and I would not allow it from my kid. Those kids have careers because of her, and they should be a little more respectful and kind to their mom.
It's going to be a good week. I have 2 dates lined up from an online dating site. I am trying something new, as I have vowed to stay away from a certain "Jewish" dating site, which operates in a very un-kosher way, so wish me luck.
I will meet you back here tomorrow to talk about The Bachelor. Good luck to the Olympians who are competing today. To Kim Kardashian, who thinks Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas will play Kris and Bruce Jenner in her movie, have another drink, and keep the faith.

THE DOCTOR: I had a date last night. He is a podiatrist, 52, divorced with 3 young adult children. It was a lovely date. We went for dinner and spent a couple of hours together. Our conversation was fluid and easy. He is a nice looking man, not what I am normally attracted to, but nice looking.
I am searching for love. I am mature and evolved enough to know that the man I will spend my life with, may not look as I imagine. I want a man who is funny and kind. The most important thing to me is that he be Jewish. It's the one thing I won't let go of.
The thing is, I don't think I should have to let it go. It's my faith and belief system. Judaism shapes my worldview. The podiatrist is a wonderful man. He was raised Jewish but is currently an atheist. I believe in God. Not only do I believe in God, but he is ever present in my life.
I won't be going out with the podiatrist again. There is a difference that is simply too big for me to overlook. People have a lot of opinions about my decision to only date within my faith. It's cool. In the end, the new man in my life may not be Jewish. He will however, believe in God.
CINDERELLA: I got an email yesterday from a reader named Patty. She wrote the following: Vienna reminds me of Cinderella. Living with all the mean stepsisters, aka Ali, Corrie, Tenley. She is picked on and ganged up on. They are afraid that the prince (Jake) will fall in love with her, so they make a pact to make sure she doesn't get the glass slipper (rose). We know how the story ends right? The prince (Jake) falls in love with Cinderella (Vienna) and they live happily ever after.
Bravo Patty. I think that is best analogy about the show that I have heard. Vienna is totally Cinderella, and I hope the outcome is the same for her, as it is in the fairytale. In the end, I don't really care about this group as much as I have for other seasons.
I was at the taping of The Women Tell All Special and I'm curious about how they will edit down 7 hours of taping, into a 2 hour special. At the end of that show I will either love The Bachelor more, or have no respect for the process. Will they show what really happened, or edit it into something else? I'm ready for it to be over and move onto The Bachelor Pad.
TIGER WOODS: I just did not get the news conference. He was all over the place. He talked about a million things and seemed unfocused to me. I was so hoping we would see Tiger speaking with humility. In the end he was came across as arrogant and angry.
I believe he is sorry. I would have believed him more however, if he took questions. When he looked into the camera and seemed to speak directly to his wife, his desperation was palpable. In the end, I wanted him to take responsibility, which he did, but he lost focus, and it came across as very ego driven. I can't wait to see the skit that is undoubtedly coming from Saturday Night Live.
I feel bad for Tiger Woods. I really do. I think he is sorry. Sorry that he did what he did, but even more sorry that he got caught. It was weird that he went to hug people after he spoke, then just turned around and left. I find myself more annoyed with him now, than I was before the press conference.
He has small children and I appreciate that he is trying to save his marriage, and get help for whatever his issues are. The thing is, when someone shows you who they are, you must believe them the first time. Tiger is a cheater and as long as he has an ego, he will continue to be a cheater.
If Elin were my friend, or my sister, I would tell her to not take him back. She should forgive him, give him access to children, support him as her friend, and the father of her children. She should not however, be his wife. She deserves better.
It's been an interesting week of reality television. The Bachelor, Survivor, The Real Housewives of Orange County, Project Runway and The Tiger Woods Experiment. I love reality television but I can't watch them all, so I will dump The Tiger Woods Show off of my playlist. It will go into the reality television pile of crap I've started, along with Patti Stanger and the disaster that is Millionaire Matchmaker.
I send my condolences to Adir Vered's family and friends on their heartbreaking loss. Love your kids, keep them safe, and count your blessings. Shabbat Shalom, have a wonderful weekend, and keep the faith.

Tiger Woods is going to make a statement of apology tomorrow for his behavior. Is he apologizing for all the sex he had? Is apologizing for cheating on his wife? If he were not married, would all the sex not be an issue? You can sleep with whoever you want if you're not married.
I think that Tiger Woods is a pig. I don't know anything about him, his wife, or his life, but I still think he is a pig. He put his wife and children at risk. He did not simply cheat on his spouse, and break his marriage vows, he violated his wife by breaking the rules of common decency.
The situation with Tiger Woods brings up a lot of questions. One could ask if monogamy is something that simply does not make sense in terms of human nature. If you are married, have a friendship, love and respect for each other, can you sleep with other people and have it not matter?
Can we ever separate out sex from love? Mrs. Woods had all the benefits of being married to a man like Tiger. She has multiple homes, is able to stay home with her children, travel wherever she wants, and buy whatever she desires. Is that not enough? Does sex have to be a part of the deal?
If she never found out would her life be better off? He was clearly cheating on her, but did she need to know? I think so. People cheat on their partners all the time, no one finds out, and life goes on. What is unforgiveable about Tiger's behavior is not that he cheated, it's that he was reckless with lives other than his own. When he endangered her and their kids, is when she deserved to know.
I think it's sad that he needs to create a news conference to apologize for his behavior. I think it's stupid that he is not taking questions and simply making a statement. Is he going to golf again and thinks if he says sorry, he will be forgiven and can go on with his life?
The thing is, what he has done has nothing to do with his golfing. He is the greatest golfer the sport has ever seen. That he is a sex addict does not change that. Just because you are a pig in your personal life, does not mean you are a pig professionally.
I lost respect for Mr. Woods as a husband and a father, not as a golfer. I think it's a shame that people cannot see the difference between the two. I have blogged about Tiger Woods two other times and got a lot of feedback about my opinion. You can see those two entries at the links below.
The Tiger Woods scandal has really made me think about marriage, love and sex. I am almost 44, divorced and have a child. Clearly I have engaged in sex. At what point do we get to own our sexuality? Sex is an important part of an adult life, yet we are not really allowed to talk about it, and it ruins a lot of otherwise great relationships.
How important a role does sex play in a marriage? If women were better able to separate love from sex, would it make for more successful marriages? Statistically, less than 3% of all mammals on the planet are monogamous. Why do we assume that humans are a part of that group?
I did a Google search of monogamy and it turns out humans are not really made to be monogamous. Sex is this huge part of our lives, but perhaps has been assigned too much value. It turns out that love and sex are two completely different things, yet we teach that they are one and the same.
When I was young, I was taught that you should love who you are having sex with. I think I have actually used those words when speaking about sex with my own child. I want him to hold off on sex until he is old enough to respect and appreciate not only what it is, but who he is doing it with.
I think sex is a great thing and I understand it so much more now than I ever did in the past. I like to think I am evolved enough to be able to differentiate sex from love, and if I was cheated on I could overcome it. However, the fact is that when I was asked to forgive cheating, I could not do it. I'm not as evolved as I like to think I am.
I'm curious to hear what Tiger has to say. I can't imagine it will change my opinion in terms of his golfing or his marriage. At the end of the day who cares? His actions do not change my life in any way, and ultimately will not change how I look at love or sex.
I wonder what sex will be like when my son is old enough to marry. At some point will monogamy not be a requirement in a marriage? When you look at how much the world changes with each generation, it is possible that his generation will embrace love and sex as two different things?
I believe in love, sex, and monogamy. I believe it is possible to find all three things in one relationship, and will continue to search for the one person who can give me everything. I will find him as long as I continue to hope, believe, pray and keep the faith.

I love this show and have watched it since the first season, when The Bachelor, Alex Michel, was gay. (Not dating men gay, but dating women when he should have been dating men gay.) Not since the second season when Bachelorette Trista picked Ryan, has there been a true home run. Others have found love of course, but Trista and Ryan are the ones who showed that the experiment could work.
There have been seasons where I actually yelled at the television when wrong decisions were made. This show has made me laugh and cry. At the end of the day, I suppose I watch it because there is an element of train wreck that I just can't look away from. I watch a lot of reality television, but a large part of why I watch this particular show, is because I believe in love. I believe in love and support any path that people take to find it.
In the early seasons, it was easy to believe that people went on to find love because the show was new, and the idea that it could make you famous was a stretch. That is not the case now. A lot of the people who go on this show, are there to get famous, not find love. While I understand their goals, it's disappointing, but more than that, it's entertaining. If I were in my early twenties, and wanted to shake things up, this show would do the trick.
I blogged that I think Jake should select Vienna this season, and I got a lot of flack. I also wrote that I think Ali is a fame hungry, skanky, liar, and got flack for that too. Come on people, it's a television show. It's not even real television, it's fantasy, I mean reality television. It's fascinating how people get so invested in the lives of these strangers. I'm not judging, or pointing fingers, because I do the same thing.
THE GOOD: Tenley is too good for Jake. They have nothing in common. She is infatuated with him, for reasons that are understandable. She is gun shy and trying to put herself out there following her divorce, and good for her. Tenley is the girl who most deserves to find love, but she will not find it with Jake. She should be the new Bachelorette and find the perfect match, rather than settle for the one bachelor that gets to do the picking.
THE BAD: Jake started out as the All-American good guy, and over the course of the season, has become a bit of a pig. He talks about morals and yet does not seem to really have any. He fake cries, and there is certain insincerity to what he says. He manipulated both Gia and Corrie in my opinion. I feel like he says what he thinks the audience wants to hear. I feel bad for him because I don't believe he knew what he was getting himself into. He started off good, and went bad.
THE UGLY: How is it that Ali is America's sweetheart? This girl is horrible. She has been mean spirited and petty from the beginning. She was a frontrunner and when she saw that Vienna was going to be competition, she began bashing her. We never saw Vienna say or do anything mean spirited, yet Ali says she is a bad person and everyone agrees. To make her the Bachelorette would be rewarding her for playing unfair.
THE REALITY: Vienna is a nice girl. We are learning through the tabloids that she has made some bad decisions, but let's remember that she is 23 years old. That is really young, and we all made mistakes when we were her age. Well I didn't, but a lot of people do. I feel sorry for Vienna. She has been attacked from the very first moment she arrived and it's too bad because I think Jake loves her and his watching the show play out, may change his mind.
Love makes people do crazy things. Even if it's not really love, but you think it is, it makes you do crazy things. I will keep watching this show. I will watch, invest and pull for my favorites. I will continue to blog my take on it, and therefore piss people off. I can be sarcastic, snarky and opinionated. At the end of the day however, I am a romantic and I watch because love is all around us and sometimes we need to look in odd places to find it.
I don't know what Jake will do, but whatever it is, I hope he is happy. I like him. We will never understand what it feels like to go through this experience. He has been a good Bachelor and I hope there are no regrets. To the ladies, I cannot imagine that the tabloid scrutiny, including opinionated bloggers, writing about your past is worth it. All you can do in the end is believe that you will find love. Believe, and keep the faith.

This show does not disappoint in terms of giving me things to blog about. I wish there was a pill I could take that would make me stop watching it. Who am I kidding? I would never take the pill. The train wreck is just too good.
This week we are in St. Lucia with Jake, Tenley, Vienna and Gia. Before we get to the island, Jake takes us down memory lane and shows us how he "fell in love" with all three girls. This is when I started to pull my hair out.
During Jake's recap, he tells us that he has fallen in love with all three girls, and can see himself with any one of them. I don't know about you, but for me, clean cut, high morals, All American Jake, is getting a little sleazy.
We are now in San Francisco getting caught up with Ali. She lives there, yet she is being shot in a hotel room, with pictures of Jake on the night stand. She can't sleep or focus on work, and her heart is breaking. I could not like this girl any less. She is crazy.
I do not think there is anything sincere about this girl. Sorry America. She pulled an Ed, it backfired, and she is so blatantly campaigning to be next year's Bachelorette, that it's difficult to watch her and not laugh. SHe does not deserve the opportunity and should be banished.
Her crying is fake and she is too snotty. She is also a horrible actress because her look of pain and heartache, looks like constipation and confusion. Why is America rallying behind this girl?
Sidebar: It makes me crazy when Jake talks about his activities with the girls like he thought about them all by himself, and has created all these experiences on his own. Come on Jake, not your ideas Sparky.
Jake is now talking about Gia, but you can just tell she is not the one. He says lovely things about her, and they have a good tine, but I kept waiting for him to say she will be a great wife…………for someone else. I think she's out.
Jake spends a lot of time saying he wants the women to "open up completely". Here's the thing Jake, if you spent less time making out, you could talk and learn more. Maybe you meant another type of opening up?
Gia and Jake are at dinner and they really have nothing to talk about. She is beautiful, and a really sweet girl. I like her a lot and feel bad for her, because she deserves to be in love with someone worthy. Jake is not that guy for her.
Is it me, or is there a certain porn element in watching them all make out in a bathtub while the cameras roll? If you turn down the volume and play some 70's lounge music, you are, in fact, watching porn. I'm just saying.
Tenley has arrived and Jake is taking her on a helicopter tour. Let's keep a count of how many times she talks about her ex. Jake says being with her is like a fairytale, which makes sense since she is a Disney Princess.
For these girls to watch the show back at home, and see how he is crossing all sorts of boundaries with all of them, must be so hard. It's like watching the St. Lucia sex tour of 2010.
Tenley tells Jake that she is falling in love with him. He kisses her on the nose and forehead. It's just not going to be her. He is going to break her heart, and then say he was just trying to show her she could love again. So not cool.
I am now yelling at the television. Jake tells her that he just wants to be with her and talk. He then gives her the fantasy suite card. This guy is a pig. Why would he do that to her when he knows it's not her?
RUN TENLEY! RUN! They mention her previous marriage 6 times. It is all she can talk about, yet we are supposed to believe she is over it? Vienna is divorced and she never talks about it. Vienna is classy like that. By classy of course I mean she is not stupid enough to talk a out her past. Poor Tenley.
Our girl Vienna has now arrived. I love this chick. It took me a minute to get here, but I totally dig her. She makes Paris Hilton's extensions look like real hair. Shame she's been wearing the same swimsuit for the entire show.
She says she has ever been in love before. Really? She said earlier that her boyfriend, the love of her life, broke up with her and got married 5 minutes later. She was so upset, that she eloped with a stranger. She is playing the game, so bless her for conveniently forgetting about her past.
Did she not love that boyfriend? Did she not love who she eloped with? I think we are missing something with this girl. There is no doubt that she loves Jake, but something is going to come out of the closet to bite her in the butt.
Vienna is the only girl that Jake talks to about engagement rings. He wants to know what kind of ring she wants, and they have a full on talk about it. Then, after he talks rings, he tells her he is also in love with 2 other women.
Jake is a joy sucker. She is having a moment with him, and he tells her she is not the only one. Gross. Vienna then tells him that she is in love with him. She is the first one to come right out and say she loves him.
The Fantasy Suite card comes out and they go in. Vienna puts on some lingerie and they close the door. She is really putting herself out there by putting out. Good for her. She is my favorite.
Jake is in his room talking about how he has fallen in love with all of them. He then says he is excited to see how the cards fall. A girl's heart will soon be broken, and he refers to it as cards falling. Jake is a pig.
The phone rings and surprise, surprise, its Ali! Cue the menacing music. She is back and whining and annoying and I am so over Ms. Ali that I want to fly to San Francisco and tell her to stop. I want to blame her for all my problems with Facebook. She is bad.
She is telling him that she made a mistake and wants him back. She is a complete and total liar in my opinion. She wants to be the Bachelorette, and that is why she is back. She is a celebrity wannabe and I am not buying it.
Jake is wiping his fake tears. Ali is begging. I am vomiting. Jake is holding the phone away from his head and it's just floating over his ear. Why is he doing that? He looks right into the camera to make sure they are getting it.
You can see her wheels spinning about what to say to make America feel sorry for her. "I was scared. I made a huge mistake. I will regret this forever. I love you." Blah. Blah. Blah. She knows what she wants and she is working hard to get it. Don't do it Mike Fleiss!
They are now both fake crying, and it's painful to watch. Jake tells her she he is in love with three other women and she can't come back. Translation: I just slept with all 3 of them and I will look sleazy if you come back now, so I will call you later.
Listen to me Mike Fleiss! I love you. Truly I do. You cannot have her back as the Bachelorette. I won't be able to watch any more if she is. She had her chance, she blew it, she needs to be gone, and stay gone.
Chris Harrison is now in St. Lucia and Jake is telling him how tough his week has been. Poor baby had to make out with three women, all of which now trust him and love him. He had to hang out in his suite and spend time on the beach. It was brutal. His life is so hard.
Did anyone else notice that Jake refers to the price of Gia's shoes twice? First he says they are $1000, then $700. He is either totally metro-sexual, or concerned she will spend all his money on shoes. She's out.
Tenley is cute, and he talks about how she will make a great wife, but never says his wife. She's out. Jake loves how much Vienna loves him. She is going to win, then he will be floored when all her dirty little secrets come out.
I am done hearing about how confused Jake is. He is not confused, he is sad that he can now only make out with two girls. He talks about how he was dateless in high school. Hello! He is having a moment of payback with everyone who was mean to him, and he is loving it.
The girls all send a video message to Jake. It's almost sad to watch because they are all invested, and you know two of them will be crushed. Jake is talking about getting closure and having regret with his decision. He knew what he was in for, and needs to stop complaining.
I'm just not feeling any sincerity from Jake. He's a good guy so perhaps it's because he has already made his decision, and wants to look like he's torn. It feels a little fake to me, but who knows what he is really thinking.
The three girls arrive, and Vienna is the only one that Chris Harrison kisses when she gets out of the car. Interesting. Tenley gets the first of the two roses. Number two goes to… Vienna.
When he announces it is Vienna, I could hear my neighbors start screaming NO! It was hilarious. Gia is out, but we all saw that one coming. She is gorgeous and lovely and she is going to be fine. I like her and wish her well.
It grosses me out that Jake tells her that the next guy she meets is going to be very lucky to have her. He just broke her heart so it's empty words. I've had men tell me the same thing, as they dump me, and it's stupid.
Gia tells him she understands, and is a complete and total lady. She left with her head held high and was classy. I felt for her, and in the end, it's sad because she did the best she could, and it just wasn't enough.
Next week we have The Women Tell All special, and then it will be the MOST DRAMATIC SEASON FINALE IN THE HISTORY OF THE BACHELOR when Jake will hand out the final rose. Thank God. This season feels like it's been on forever and I'm ready for it to be over. Bring on The Bachelor Pad already!
How great would it be if he didn't pick either? In the teaser he says he would never ask a woman to marry him if he didn't mean it. Maybe he will dump them both. That would be great television.
At the end of the day, this show is galaxies from being single in the real world, and I feel some serious heartbreak coming on. My advice to Vienna and Tenley, incase they can't simply run away, is to keep the faith!

I like Facebook. It keeps me connected to many people, and has allowed me to reconnect with some I never thought I would see again, due to distance and time. Not to mention the fact that I am addicted to my farm!
It was a very proud moment when my son invited me to be his Facebook friend. When his friends started to invite me to be their friends too, I about lost my mind. I was so happy they trusted me to be a part of their world.
My son has a ton of friends on Facebook, and most of them are kids I don't know. They go to his current school, his old school, his USY group, his camp friends, his friends friends. They spend a lot of time on there.
While I am my son's Facebook friend, and can see his page, I also have his password. I go into his account periodically to look around, and make sure everything is cool. I check messages and postings, by him and the other kids.
There are so many articles and news stories about bullying, and kids simply being mean to each other, it is my obligation to monitor his correspondence to ensure that not only my son, but his friends, are ok.
This weekend, a girl I do not know, sent a disturbing message to all the kids. She had invited them to join two Facebook groups, both of which were very mean spirited, and focused on banning gay marriage. The girl is 13 years old.
It makes me very sad because she is young, and I assume the feelings she has on the subject where taught to her by her parents. I am constantly shocked by people and how they perpetuate hate, when they have the power to show their kids a better way.
I support gay marriage. I support gay rights, in the same way I support human rights. There is no difference to me between gay or straight. We all deserve the same. That is what I believe, and what I teach my son.
I was not sure what to do. Do I tell my son to "un-friend" her on Facebook? Does that not make me intolerant, just like her? It was the first time that I was torn about having too much information, and wondered if I should not have checked his messages.
In the end, my son handled it. He and his friends said they thought she was wrong and they ignored her request. They don't agree with her and if anything, they think she is an idiot and feel sorry for her, which makes me sad for her.
My son is smart and responsible. While he knows a ton of people, his core group of friends are really wonderful. I love them, and equally as important, I trust them, and want to believe that will always be the case.
I don't want to feel so comfortable and secure in the knowledge that they are great kids, that I get lazy, and miss signs of things I should be seeing. I am blessed we are close and talk, but I don't want to be naïve.
We need to trust, but still question. I am blessed that my son is open with me and shares parts of his life that I don't see. I am also nervous because he is 14, and will be in high school in the fall. I imagine the most difficult time is yet to come.
I will keep my eyes and ears open. I must watch over him so he feels safe and respected, without forcing him to pull away because he feels smothered. The next few years will require extra prayers and strength. Made easier I hope, by my keeping the faith.

As I watched the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, I was overcome with pride that I am a Canadian. For a moment, it made me wish my strategically placed tattoo of the Canadian Flag were in a place where everyone could see it.
I moved to Canada when I was 3 years old. My father worked for the NCR Company and with each promotion, throughout his 30 year career, we moved to a new city. I have lived in:
Regina, Saskatchewan
Langley, British Columbia
Toronto, Ontario, and
Halifax, Nova Scotia.
I love Canada. I love butter tarts, ketchup flavored potato chips, Red Rose tea, and gravy on my french fries. I am happy that my son is also a Canadian citizen. Even after 18 years in Los Angeles, Canada is my home, and always will be.
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command
With glowing hearts we see thee rise
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada
we stand on guard for thee
God keep our land, glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee
I am thrilled that the world is getting a chance to see how great Canada is, how wonderful her people are, and the beauty of Vancouver and the surrounding areas.
Good luck to all the athletes. May God keep you safe, and my prayers and support to the Olympic team of Georgia.
To all those competing, take a deep breath, give it your all, savor the moment, and keep the faith!

I have decided to no longer watch Millionaire Matchmaker. I simply cannot watch it without getting annoyed. My dilemma, is that I have gotten so many emails from my regular readers asking me to not give up, and blog about it one more time.
I love you my darlings, and I respect that you spend time reading my blog. The truth is, I just tried to watch this week's episode, and lasted about 2 minutes, before I wanted to throw something at the television.
When Patti Stanger dismissed a wedding planner, because she had never done a "celebrity" wedding, it was over. I do not understand why this show is still on television, why people watch it, or why she thinks she is a celebrity.
As I was trying to stop my eyes from burning, I realized that I know who the perfect client is for Patti Stanger and her team. They simply must set up Lori Gottlieb!
If Patti Stanger can find someone to marry Lori Gottlieb, I will not only watch her show, but I will let everyone know it is the greatest show ever! If she can find a match, who has also read Ms. Gottlieb's book, she will be the greatest matchmaker to have ever walked the face of the earth.
I think Patti and Lori should hang out. They have so much in common, they could be BFF's. To those who wrote to ask that I blog one more time about the train wreck that is Millionaire Matchmaker, forgive me. I just can't do it. I really tried. In the end, it turns out that even I have my reality television limits.
Shabbat Shalom. Have a wonderful weekend, and to anyone who celebrate Valentine's Day, enjoy. To those searching for love, buy yourself some flowers and get a box of chocolates. Next year we will all be in love, if we just keep the faith.
