The MSM's "Romney Strategy" by SusanAnne Hiller 11 Jan 2012 post a comment Share This: Take note, South Carolina. We know that Mitt Romney has been on all sides of basically every issue, but the broader concern here is: are conservatives tired of stressing about and being duped by northeastern so-called Republicans and their mostly liberal voting records--leading to political survival in Democrat states. But, seriously, is anyone else tired of this? And again, I ask, why is a government-run healthcare lover a GOP frontrunner? Name recognition, gaining independent voters, and anyone but Obama, I get that, but come on already. Romney? I'm not buying the media hype over who can beat Obama. From Jonah Goldberg: Romney, the son of a politician, has been running for office, holding office or thinking about running for office for more than two decades. "Just level with the American people," Gingrich growled. "You've been running … at least since the 1990s." For some reason, Romney can't do that. Or at least it seems like he can't. His authentic inauthenticity problem isn't going away. And it's sapping enthusiasm from the rank and file. Goldberg is right, but the underlying theme that voters need to be reminded of is that during so many important debates from healthcare, jobs, Wall Street Reform, confirmations, recess appointments, to taxes the culprits to invoke cloture or side with the Democrats typically are the same: Senators Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and Scott Brown--the trifecta of RINOs. All from the northeast, too. See where I'm going with this? Frankly, Romney, who the mainstream liberal media would like to see win the nomination, has yet to unite the GOP base. His used car salesman pitch simply rubs people the wrong way. We've seen this over and over again--even John McCain pointed this out and won in 2007's primary--and now supports him--that should speak volumes to my point. Romney has always been dogged by this and this is why we have such a large 'Not Romney' camp on the right side of the aisle. The GOP is also paying the bitter price for not having anyone in line to succeed GW Bush. The party's internal tug of war will be an historical teachable moment and prepare the party for future elections. The one saving grace is that, while the Democrats have Hillary, they have no one to succeed her at this point in time. I say Hillary because she seems to be the only power broker left untarnished by Obama--even though she is an Alinsky kinda girl. Additionally, the GOP presidential candidate will have a two-pronged mission as the nominee: to beat the MSM and Obama. However, enlightened voters now know for sure the media is mostly state-controlled, Obama was never vetted, and that his radical leftist ideology drives his policies, appointments, and regulations out of the mainstream. Furthermore, the MSM needs Romney to offset Obama. The formula is quite simple: RomneyCare is to ObamaCare as Obama's rhetoric is to Romney's rhetoric all of which cancel each other out according to how the media sees it. The primary is the primary and the game changes in the general. Voters are more inclined to vote with their wallets. We have gas prices averaging at almost $4 per gallon across the country, skyrocketing food prices, record foreclosures, record number of people on food stamps, high unemployment, ObamaCare, crippling regulations, and much more. So if the MSM thinks that the historic 2010 midterm GOP wave was a whim, think again. The Right accomplished its key mission of splitting the Congress so that Obama's agenda could not be rammed through anymore. Would we have liked the Senate, sure, but in 2012, the job will be finished. My point is that who do we really want in the Oval Office? A northeastern Republican who disavows the GOP or not. We already have someone who does not have the consent of the governed. Are we really going to take that risk again? Finally, Romney has always touted RomneyCare as a great model for all the states to implement, but the reality is, the only person who implemented RomneyCare was Obama and now we have ObamaCare. No thanks. Comments

Aunt Phillis's Cabin/Chapter VII
←Chapter VI | Aunt Phillis's Cabin by Chapter VII |
Chapter VIII→ |
Chapter VII
We will go back to the last evening at Exeter, when we left Mr. Weston to witness the result of Bacchus's attendance at the barbecue. There were other hearts busy in the quiet night time. Alice, resisting the offers of her maid to assist her in undressing, threw herself on a lounge by the open window. The night air played with the curtains, and lifted the curls from her brow. Her bloom, which of late had been changeful and delicate, had now left her cheek, and languid and depressed she abandoned herself to thought. So absorbed was she, that she was not aware any one had entered the room, until her mother stood near, gently reproving her for thus exposing herself to the night air. "Do get up and go to bed," she said. "Where is Martha?"
"I did not want her," said Alice; "and am now going to bed myself. What has brought you here?"
"Because I felt anxious about you," said Mrs. Weston, "and came, as I have often before, to be assured that you were well and enjoying repose. I find you still up; and now, my daughter, there is a question I have feared to ask you, but can no longer delay it. By all the love that is between us, by the tie that should bind an only child to a widowed mother, will you tell me what are the thoughts that are oppressing you? I have been anxious for your health, but is there not more cause to fear for your happiness?"
"I am well enough, dear mother," said Alice, with some irritation of manner, "Do not concern yourself about me. If you will go to bed, I will too."
"You cannot thus put me off," said Mrs. Weston. "Alice, I charge you, as in the presence of God, to tell me truly: do you love Walter Lee?"
"It would be strange if I did not," said Alice, in a low voice. "Have we not always been as brother and sister?"
"Not in that sense, Alice; do not thus evade me. Do you love him with an affection which should belong to your cousin, to whom you are solemnly engaged, who has been the companion of your childhood, and who is the son of the best friend that God ever raised up to a widow and a fatherless child?"
Alice turned her head away, and after a moment answered, "Yes, I do, mother, and I cannot help it." But on turning to look at her mother, she was shocked at the expression of agony displayed on her countenance. Her hand was pressed tightly over her heart, her lips quivered, and her whole person trembled. It was dreadful to see her thus agitated; and Alice, throwing her arms around her mother exclaimed, "What is it, dearest mother? Be not look so deathlike. I cannot bear to see you so."
Oh! they speak falsely who say the certainty of evil can be better borne than suspense. Watcher by the couch of suffering, sayest thou so? Now thou knowest there is no hope, thy darling must be given up. There is no mistaking that failing pulse, and that up-turned eye. A few hours ago, there was suspense, but there was hope; death was feared, but not expected; his arm was outstretched, but the blow was not descending; now, there is no hope.
Mrs. Weston had long feared that all was not well with Alice—that while her promise was given to one, her heart had wandered to another; yet she dreaded to meet the appalling certainty; now with her there is no hope. The keen anguish with which she contended was evident to her daughter, who was affrighted at her mother's appearance. So much so, that for the first time for months she entirely forgot the secret she had been hiding in her heart. The young in their first sorrow dream there are none like their own. It is not until time and many cares have bowed us to the earth, that we look around, beholding those who have suffered more deeply than ourselves.
Accustomed to self-control, Mrs. Weston was not long in recovering herself; taking her daughter's hand within her own, and looking up in her fair face, "Alice," she said, "you listened with an unusual interest to the details of suffering of one whom you never saw. I mean Walter Lee's mother; she died. I can tell you of one who has suffered, and lived.
"It is late, and I fear to detain you from your rest, but something impels me that I cannot resist. Listen, then, while I talk to you of myself. You are as yet almost unacquainted with your mother's history."
"Another time, mother; you are not well now," said Alice.
"Yes, my love, now. You were born in the same house that I was; yet your infancy only was passed where I lived until my marriage. I was motherless at an early age; indeed, one of the first remembrances that I recall is the bright and glowing summer evening when my mother was carried from our plantation on James River to the opposite shore, where was our family burial-ground. Can I ever forget my father's uncontrolled grief, and the sorrow of the servants, as they followed, dressed in the deepest mourning. I was terrified at the solemn and dark-looking bier, the black plumes that waved over it, and all the dread accompaniments of death. I remember but little for years after this, save the continued gloom of my father, and his constant affection and indulgence toward me, and occasionally varying our quiet life by a visit to Richmond or Washington.
"My father was a sincere and practical Christian. He was averse to parting with me; declaring, the only solace he had was in directing my education, and being assured of my happiness.
"My governess was an accomplished and amiable lady, but she was too kind and yielding. I have always retained the most grateful remembrance of her care. Thus, though surrounded by good influences, I needed restraint, where there was so much indulgence. I have sometimes ventured to excuse myself on the ground that I was not taught that most necessary of all lessons: the power of governing myself. The giving up of my own will to the matured judgment of others.
"The part of my life that I wish to bring before you now, is the year previous to my marriage. Never had I received an ungentle word from my father; never in all my waywardness and selfwill did he harshly reprove me. He steadily endeavored to impress on my mind a sense of the constant presence of God. He would often say, 'Every moment, every hour of our lives, places its impress on our condition in eternity. Live, then, as did your mother, in a state of waiting and preparation for that account which we must all surely give for the talents entrusted to our care.' Did I heed his advice? You will hardly believe me, Alice, when I tell you how I repaid his tenderness. I was the cause of his death."
"It could never be, mother," said Alice, weeping, when she saw the tears forcing their way down her mother's cheek. "You are excited and distressed now. Do not tell me any more to-night, and forget what I told you."
Mrs. Weston hardly seemed to hear her. After a pause of a few moments, she proceeded:
"It was so, indeed. I, his only child, was the cause of his death; I, his cherished and beloved daughter, committed an act that broke his heart, and laid the foundation of sorrows for me, that I fear will only end with my life.
"Alice, I read not long since of a son, the veriest wretch on earth; he was unwilling to grant his poor aged father a subsistence from his abundance; he embittered the failing years of his life by unkindness and reproaches. One day, after an altercation between them, the son seized his father by his thin, white hair, and dragged him to the corner of the street. Here, the father in trembling tones implored his pity. 'Stop, oh! stop, my son' he said, 'for I dragged my father here, God has punished me in your sin.'
"Alice, can you not see the hand of a just God in this retribution, and do you wonder, when you made this acknowledgment to me to-night, the agony of death overcame me? I thought, as I felt His hand laid heavily upon me, my punishment was greater than I could bear; my sin would be punished in your sorrow; and naught but sorrow would be your portion as the wife of Walter Lee.
"Do not interrupt me, it is time we were asleep, but I shall soon have finished what I have to say. My father and Mr. Weston were friends in early life, and I was thrown into frequent companionship with my husband, from the time when we were very young. His appearance, his talents, his unvaried gayety of disposition won my regard. For a time, the excess of dissipation in which he indulged was unknown to us, but on our return to Virginia after an absence of some months in England, it could no longer be concealed. His own father joined with mine in prohibiting all intercourse between us. For a time his family considered him as lost to them and to himself; he was utterly regardless of aught save what contributed to his own pleasures. I only mention this to excuse my father in your eyes, should you conclude he was too harsh in the course he insisted I should pursue. He forbade him the house, and refused to allow any correspondence between us; at the same time he promised that if he would perfectly reform from the life he was leading, at the end of two years he would permit the marriage. I promised in return to bind myself to these conditions. Will you believe it, that seated on my mother's grave, with my head upon my kind father's breast, I vowed, that as I hoped for Heaven I would never break my promise, never see him again, without my father's permission, until the expiration of this period; and yet I did break it. I have nearly done. I left home secretly. I was married; and I never saw my father's face again. The shock of my disobedience was too hard for him to bear. He died, and in vain have I sought a place of repentance, though I sought it with tears.
"I have suffered much; but though I cannot conceal from you that your father threw away the best portion of his life, his death was not without hope. I cling to the trust that his sins were washed away, and his soul made clean in the blood of the Saviour. Then, by the memory of all that I suffered, and of that father whose features you bear, whose dying words gave testimony to my faithfulness and affection to him, I conjure you to conquer this unfortunate passion, which, if yielded to, will end in your unceasing misery.
"There was little of my large fortune left at your father's death; we have been almost dependant on your uncle. Yet it has not been dependance; he is too generous to let us feel that. On your father's death-bed, he was all in all to him—never leaving him; inducing him to turn his thoughts to the future opening before him. He taught me where to look for comfort, and bore with me when in my impatient grief I refused to seek it. He took you, then almost an infant, to his heart, has cherished you as his own, and now looks forward to the happiness of seeing you his son's wife; will you so cruelly disappoint him?"
"I will do whatever you ask me, dear mother," said Alice. "I will never see Walter again, if that will content you. I have already told him that I can never be to him more than I have always been—a sister. Yet I cannot help loving him."
"Cannot help loving a man whose very birth is attended with shame," said Mrs. Weston; "whose passions are ungovernable, who has already treated with the basest ingratitude his kindest friends? Have you so little pride? I will not reproach you, my darling; promise me you will never see Walter again, after to-morrow, without my knowledge. I can trust you. Oh! give up forever the thought of being his wife, if ever you have entertained it. Time will show you the justice of my fears, and time will bring back your old feelings for Arthur, and we shall be happy again."
"I will make you the promise," said Alice, "and I will keep it; but I will not deceive Arthur. Ungrateful as I may appear, he shall know all. He will then love some one more worthy of him than I am."
"Let us leave the future in the hands of an unerring God, my Alice. Each one must bear her burden, I would gladly bear yours; but it may not be. Forget all this for a while; let me sleep by you to-night."
Alice could not but be soothed by the gentle tone, and dear caress. Oh, blessed tie! uniting mother and child. Earth cannot, and Heaven will not break it.

Servings: 8 servings
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 13 min
Difficulty: Easy
8 tablespoon butter, cold and cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar plus 3 tablespoons sugar, plus 8 teaspoons
1 quart strawberries, hulled and quartered
2/3 cup half-and-half, plus 1/4 cup
Sweetened whipped cream
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar together. Set-aside until time to serve.
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together flour, baking powder, salt and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Then pulse in the cold butter cubes until a coarse meal is formed. Turn the flour mixture out into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in 2/3 cup half-and-half and gently mix it in with a rubber spatula or fork, be careful not to over mix the dough or the biscuits will be tough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and fold it over itself a couple of times until it just holds together. Pat the dough out to 3/4-inch thickness and cut out 8 round 3-inch biscuits.
Transfer the biscuits to a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of each biscuit with the remaining half-and-half and sprinkle each with 1-teaspoon sugar. Bake in a preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and are a light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Split each biscuit, spoon some strawberries on the bottom piece, then whipped cream and top with the other biscuit half. Garnish with fresh mint and more strawberries.

I've been crazy busy - thought I'd catch you all up to speed on what's going on!!
Celebrated with Nancy O'Dell her daughter's birthday on Saturday. check it out at whrrl.com/
And shared with PEOPLE about being a mom again, and my workout routines.
And then, after watching the Lakers kick @ss Sunday night, I had an early call to Days. We're shooting about a month ahead right now - lots of stuff I can't talk about. lol. Then, the whole Days cast got together to participate in an nbc promo shoot. Such a fun afternoon - even though we were freezing!!! whrrl.com/ we started feeling rain drops as we were all gathering for the big group shot. Still it was a blast.
I've been checking out the Days message boards to see what fans are posting about this storyline. Thanks for all the positive feedback. I've shared a lot of what I've read with James, Galen, Ari and everyone else. It's been so encouraging for all of us - everyone worked so hard on those episodes.

U.S. Birth Weights Falling, But Reasons Unclear
Reader Comments
My wife was 2 weeks late with her first baby. Mom was small, baby was big and she (to put it mildly) split wide open. Since then, we made sure if she didn't have it at least 1 week early she would get induced.
What's unclear? We're becoming a third-world country. Even for college-educated women, having a child is often a one-way ticket to poverty. Don't you think the stress of economic insecurity would result in mothers bearing sickly children?
Every one of my friends has been induced. Not even near term, but like Deb of AL said, at 38 weeks. No health reason is given about half the time, I've seen inductions for avoiding weekends, holidays, etc. Only once I've heard of the reason that the baby was "too big." He was right at 8 pounds. That is NOT too big.
I am pregnant and actively looking for a doctor that does not do inductions as routine, and it's been so much harder than I expected.
This problem is NO mystery, just look at induction rates and voila, I wouldn't be surprised if that accounted for the lower birth weights.
The gestation period, simply put is "development at some rate of time". The ease or difficulty for the chemistry to take place may have sweetend for this process in the recent decades, with modern foods and supliments. Therefore the natural result would be a slightly faster, more efficient development. Keep in mind that 2.5 days is only about a 1% change.
Now consider how many no-human creatures of just as much complexity, develop in a much shorter time. Humans are definitely not on the leading edge in nature.
The first thing every doctor tells a new patient receiving prenatal care is to watch their weight gain to avoid gestational diabetes, especially if their weight gain doesn't happen within standard guideline. Maybe those well educated women who receive prenatal care are listening to their doctors and those doctors aren't letting them gain enough weight.
Vicki, I couldn't agree more. I think so many OB's have a serious case of "inductionitis", and it seems to be spreading. My sis-in-law was induced for both births, and her doc has "Induction Monday", which is what she apparently does all day. I just think the whole thing is weird. Doesn't even seem to be that 40 weeks is the norm anymore. I hear women talk about being full-term at 38 weeks. Maybe the researchers haven't accounted for the fact that the definition of "full-term" have have unofficially changed...???
Induced labor was my first thought when reading this article as well. One would think that they would account for this in their research but there is no note of it in this article. Our last child, born in 2008, was induced a week before the scheduled due date. I believe our Dr. stated that inducing labor for convenience purposes is becoming more common.
I wonder if the practice that many MDs have of inducing labor so that the birth is more handy for them could have anything to do with it. My last child was delivered after me being induced at 39 weeks. I agreed to it because he was sitting on my sciatic nerve and causing me much pain. However, I have had friends who were induced for the MDs convenience.

Why did this get discontinued?
Getting a more potent supply?
Not enough demand.
Icariin 50% Powder
and other threads relating to Fenugreek in NP's section reiterate what I stated.
Never tried the Fenugreek, but I've had a few mention recommedations, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I would request the 50%Icariin too. VERY effective stuff.
BTW...Glad you guys are stocking the L-dopa (mucuna seed)!

Mariah R D Simpson
― C.S. Lewis
I haven't picked up this pen in awhile.
Now I need it to help me understand.
If I can put it all down on paper,
maybe it will make sense.
We ended it again tonight,
which is not unusual.
But this time,
I don't feel sad at all.
In fact, I'm laughing.
I'm relieved.
You and your substance abuse are not my problem.
You can drink and snort all you want.
If you use me as an excuse to dig yourself
deeper in that deep dark rut,
I'll just laugh at you and never look back.
That would only show me
that you learned nothing from this
and that we were a waste.
I should never have wasted my time on you.
Nothing at all has changed.
The darkness is thick
because there is light in it.
Just as something wrong
can feel right.
Like how you can still see
at night.
How I can love you with all my heart
but feel nothing.
I can touch his skin,
breathe it in,
taste it,
want it.
It makes me feel alive
for a moment.
Until I remember
your sweet heart.
Then I feel wretched
and numb with guilt.
My soul is as black as yours
with lies and lust,
and as light as yours
with love and tenderness.
My partner in duality's
constant struggle.
Twins born under Gemini's sky.
We love each other
within our wretched hearts.
Confidence, empowerment, strength
don't matter when he's calling to her.
She feels his eyes on her.
She's afraid
and maybe it's not his fault.
It's not his fault she's afraid,
but she knows what he can get away with.
In her world "he" is synonymous with violence.
It was a man who beat her mother in front of her.
It was a man who stalked her mother
until all her hair fell out and they had to move towns.
It was a man who first threatened her with a belt.
It was a man who loomed over her girl-body
and took it without asking.
It was a man who berated her until she quit her job.
She's afraid and it's a surprise to him.
He doesn't understand.
He thinks he's flattering her.
He thinks she likes it.
Why wouldn't she?
The policeman asks her, "Who did this to you?"
but all she can tell him is,
"It was a man", as she cries into her hands.
She prays for a son
so she can teach him respect, honor, gentleness.
She prays for a son
so she can sleep at night without worry for a daughter's fear.
She curses the mothers who teach their sons not to cry
and the fathers who teach with fists and belts.
She curses the government for using the bodies of young men
as a weapon.
Ask me why I stay
and I can't tell you.
There's not much reason to linger
like I do,
except to learn from pain
and maybe grow to be better.
Make me learn
that I ask too much,
care too much,
trust too much.
Make me change
my sweet, innocent,
and naive ways.
I want to make someone writhe
in pain as you have made me,
wringing out my heart
with your careless cruelty.
You make me want you
as you make me hate you.
It's a desperate tug and pull
between my head and my heart.
There has to be someone out there
who will be conscious of my needs,
but maybe it's good for me to learn
not to need someone,
and to merely enjoy their company.
The voice in me is dying,
the very same voice that used to
scream my desire in my heart, my flesh,
my fingertips reaching.
My head is so quiet
I am afraid of it.
I no longer understand its depths
as I once did,
having spent days upon days in its darkness
without fear or light or help.
New demons must be lurking now,
unexamined in the deep,
waiting for your ultimate rejection
to unearth them with the erosive power of my tears,
carving through my ego
to the blackest terrors of my soul.
I face every hour
with the knowledge that he could leave
at any time.
Every moment we have
has never been so precious to me.
I struggle every second
to accept that he will go.
Somehow, he has given me the strength
I never had
to watch someone I love
walk away.
She looked at me softly
with strands of golden hair falling
around her face.
Two white teeth slid
over her red bottom lip.
Her eyes held mine,
they gripped my soul
with their sadness.
It was something in the skin
around her eyes
that showed the pain.
"They aren't bruises," she said.
"He didn't have to use his hands
to hurt me.
Smart, patient, quiet men
know the worst ways."
I learned from you
that I can't go on caring as I always have.
In order to survive in this world without going mad
I must adopt apathy at times
or struggle with accepting the things
I can't control.
You lie.
You're blind.
You'll leave.
I can't change any of these things,
no matter how much I care.
Knowing this gives me strength
to cover the boiling depths of my soul
like a balm.
There's nothing I can do
except love you until
you walk away.
When you leave,
I'll be able to breathe
knowing that
I did everything I could.
Mine is a word
that does not apply to you.
It implies that
no one can take you and,
if they do,
I will have been wronged.
No, you are not mine.
You are not a thing
that anyone can claim.
You are a free spirit
who has trouble expressing his needs
which makes you
as much mine
as a handful of smoke.
I will lose you,
I know.
It's only a matter of time
and of who will find you.
You are not mine
as I am not yours,
but it is not who will find me
as much as it is
who will I find?
You could buy me the moon,
you could buy me the stars,
you could buy me my dreams,
but none of that means that you love me
if I can't feel your soul pulsing and dancing with me.
My soul is the wind.
It is never stagnant.
Some days you are a rock I'm scraping against,
trying to move you
one grain of sand at a time,
but if the wind can't move a rock
it passes on
and pushes up against something else.
I tried so many times to walk away,
but you are the moon
and I am the sea.
Your blank face
moves me in my depths.
By the time you turn around,
looking for something real,
I'll be nowhere you can follow me.
I wonder, who is using who?
I keep running back to you
and you pretend to care.
We both have needs,
but this has been a one sided game
for too long.
I don't want to play.
You showed me how broken I was
and opened my eyes to
how I lost the only man
who ever loved me.
I was an attention whore, once,
just like you.
I wanted everyone to love me,
even when it wasn't real.
I couldn't see the pure, true love
who sat patiently,
waiting up for me at night.
I was a fool.
I still am,
but not like you.
You think you're doing better now,
and you are,
on the outside.
If anything's ever going to change,
you have to fix your own fucked up heart
and listen to the scary, dark places of your mind.
Why did you pick me?
Do I look like the fool I am?
Why did you push me to love you
and then run away?
I chased after you,
holding my love out to you.
You hid behind other women,
afraid to feel anything real.
I know you'll try
to runaway forever
from life and feelings and love.
I stopped running
and said goodbye to you.
I turned around
to find something real.
It's another one of those nights.
Every time my phone vibrates,
I hope it's you and am disappointed.
Every guy but you has texted me tonight.
When she finally left town,
you started calling me again.
I guess you had to fill your lonely nights somehow.
Tonight I wonder who you're with
and I wish you cared
who I was with.
Every time my phone vibrates,
it isn't you.
They're everything I should want
I'm bored.
What's wrong with me?
Destined to only fall for guys
who are wrong for me,
and don't love me.
You know I love you
cause I'm trippin' over it.
When will I be able to let you go?
You're the only person I want to talk to
at the end of the day.
With others it takes so much effort.
But you don't feel the same.
If you loved me as much as I love you,
you never would have left.
I used to date guys
because they liked me,
and I wanted to be liked.
I've only fallen hard like this
a few times.
It started out like normal;
you liked me
and I hadn't put too much thought into it.
Now, because of you,
I'm so much pickier.
I wonder if there are only weak men
and, if not,
where are the strong, capable men?
I haven't met one.
Would one even look at me if I found him?
Did no one ever say no to these guys before?
They don't seem to understand what it means.
I don't want you to call me,
I don't want you to kiss me,
I don't want you to touch me
or look at me like that.
I only want you
and I don't know why.
All these other guys have
material things, jobs, education,
sensible goals,
but you,
you make me feel free.
You make me feel like
I'm not alone.
You're detached and confused,
pushed your pain down inside
where it's slowly eating you alive,
waiting for the right moment to become you.
You don't want to depend on anyone
for what you need, so you stay aloof.
I wish I could show you that
that's no way to live,
but hopefully you'll figure it out on your own
I wish you would let someone be
perfect for you,
even if it's not me.
I wish you could let someone in,
that you weren't afraid to love completely
as I love only you.
I have a hard time turning my back
on someone like you.
Someone with no tomorrow
can't make any promises.
How could I have thought about
when you can't promise me right now?
I'm in between letting you go
and letting myself love you.
In my mind,
you were the guy curled up on the cement
in thin clothes and no jacket
on a cold winter night in the mountain city
with no kind faces nearby.
I was shaking you awake in my mind,
trying to help you find somewhere to go
so you wouldn't die all alone in the cold.
You can't promise me anything,
don't have much to give.
I used to be afraid of losing you
and I still wish I could hold onto you
I know I can't.
You are the wind
and I have no wings to catch you.
What matters now is being here,
being calm, and present, and clear headed.
I can only hope that
when you look into another girl's eyes
you see me,
the cold pale hand reaching out to you in the darkness.
We're supposed to be friends now,
somehow, after everything we've been through,
but as I lie next to you in the dark
all I can think is how I wish you'd put your arms around me
and you do, asking if it's okay.
It's what I want,
so I guess it's okay, right?
Except for the overwhelming screeching,
breaking sound of my heart in my ears.
You hold me there in the dark
as I breathe, try to empty my mind,
and give you the reins.
I keep silent, making room for your thoughts and needs.
I know what you want
as you stroke my stomach in the guise of friendship.
I love you,
I am in love with you,
I never once stopped loving you,
even when I hated you.
I let you kiss me, I let you do as you wish.
I feel like your whore, but
you tell me you love me,
that you aren't in love with me,
but you love me.
My head implodes as my heart breaks.
Are you a whore if they say they love you?
I know you're afraid of failure.
I know you're afraid of losing it.
I know that I pushed you too far
and asked for too much.
I am making myself invisible this time
so you don't do it for me.
I'm letting you go,
one moment of self-control at a time.
I just wish I could kill that little voice
of hope inside me chirping that
if I change and give him what he wants,
he'll want to be with me.
No, little voice,
he is broken
and he isn't trying to fix himself for you
anytime soon.
He's doing what he knows how to do,
in his mind the safest thing;
You can't fail at doing nothing.
You can't live doing nothing.
When nothing is all there is,
there is no meaning, no light,
no pain, no real joy.
I wanted to be your something,
I wanted to be your everything,
your bright light, your angel
rescuing you from the darkness,
but I pushed you, I asked things of you,
and I ruined everything.
All there is left to do now is let you go.
My feelings have been
a pebble in your shoe
for far too long.
How inconvenient,
Especially when one finally gets
what one wanted.
We spend our whole lives
looking for something.
Everyone has their own
holy grail.
Once you have found it,
what is there left to do?
I regret the day
I agreed to be yours.
I wasn't ready.
I barely knew you.
You barely knew me,
but you were so insistent,
I believed that you could love me.
Once, I got a tarot reading.
It showed all my dreams coming true,
everything I ever wanted,
the best hand one could hope for,
but there was one card that implied
that the story wouldn't end there.
It seemed to say,
"Here is the world.
Now what?"
I am weary of holding this heart in my hands,
begging someone, anyone, to relieve me
of this heavy burden;
loving myself.
This heart must be shut away now,
behind bars perhaps,
the ivory, heaving bars of my chest.
I fold.
You can have your sleepless nights,
your meaningless affairs,
your dreary, empty, lonely days
full of hangovers and misery
if that's what you want.
I don't care anymore what you do
with your life,
with your body,
with your heart.
Just go
and take your fear and uncertainty with you.
There is no place for love
when pain rules your life.
This heart of mine will keep beating,
safe away from you
behind ivory bars.
I guess moving away
changed me.
Now, I enjoy having a clear head
more than being fucked up.
Being alone is a lot easier
when you're not afraid of the silence,
when you can stop thinking for a moment
and breathe in.
I spent too many nights
coming down crying
There were moments when I was fucked up
when I was amazed with the beauty of feeling
but, when I'm sober,
I have that feeling all the time.
I'm not afraid to be alone anymore.
Fear has been replaced with clarity,
a calm understanding that
this isn't forever
and that being with people
isn't that great anyways.
I've accepted that we're all just in it
for ourselves
and that's okay.
I love people but
they won't always love me back.
They seldom do.
I didn't know what it would be like,
moving away.
My friends never did anything terrible to me,
they just stopped putting in the effort
to be friends when I wasn't around
to get fucked up with anymore.
I thought life wouldn't change so much for me,
but it has.
Now I can see
that the whole world is open to me
if I'm okay with not staying comfortable.
Now I'm free.
I was named for the wind.
Should I forget who I am
and where I come from,
all I have to do is close my eyes
and feel.
The wind is never stagnant,
it moves on and on,
pushing past all obstacles.
The wind does not settle in one place,
it is always free and wild.
The wind has seen every corner
of the world,
has touched the skin
of every person,
raked it's claws through the fur,
and inspired the roar,
of every terrifying beast.
I was named for the wind
and so shall I be,
as my namesake;
to run over cliffs and mountains,
through the forest,
and over the sea,
to touch dessert sand,
and fly with the clouds.
The wind has no family,
no friends,
only brief moments of
with each living thing.
Someday, my body will wither,
but my soul will still soar.
I was named for the wind
and so shall I be.
I've been waking up every day
for quite some time
with the idea of fighting her
lingering between my
closed and open eyelids.
I imagine how good it would feel
to take all this pent-up anger
and let it loose on her tiny, bony frame.
I know it's not her fault you lied to me,
that you left that night
after picking a fight,
left me crying with no one to turn to,
so you could get drunk and fuck her.
I'm not really angry at her,
even though she's a bitch.
I'm angry at you,
but I want you to love me.
I need to let it go,
to let you go.
Even if you loved me,
it would never work.
I have other options,
but I've said goodbye so many times
I don't know if I mean it this time.
My feelings for you
are getting weaker and weaker
every time I give to you
and get noting in return.

Bait and Switch: Am I still Bound to Pay My Landlord?
Rented a room in Maryland the first of March.
I signed a lease for $399 for the room and $41 per utilities. She informed me that each month there would be a little extra added to that $41--maybe $20-$30 depending on usage to the utility bill. As soon as I signed the month-to-month lease, she informed me after three months the rent would go up to $600 and I would be liable for whatever the utilities were. At this point I felt trapped, and now I am trying to get out of this. I already paid her for the month of June but she wants me to pay for the month of July. I owe her $600 for the rent and she has not informed me what the utilities for this coming month are. I need to get out of this now and I need a lawyer's help. I cannot afford this hike, and I feel she has pulled the 'ol bait-and-switch on me. |

Re: Bait and Switch: Am I still Bound to Pay My Landlord?
If your LL has given you proper notice, she is allowed to change any terms she likes about your rental agreement. Since you did not sign a fixed-term lease with her, then you cannot expect that the rent and other terms will remain the same for an indefinite period of time. If you do not like the new terms, you can give your own notice to terminate and move out, and find another place that is more to your liking.

These are very pretty chairs, they look like they belong in a boutique hotel! I was so nervous ordering these since they did not have a single review, but they looked like exactly what I was looking for so I took a chance and I'm very glad I did. The color and size are exactly as shown and described on Overstock. These are not chairs for a tiny room, they are 'somewhat' large in size, so look at the dimensions close to make sure they will work for where you plan to use them. They fit my space perfect, but it's a larger room. The bottom cushion is VERY firm, so if you are looking for a chair that you sink into for hours at a time, this is probably not it. However, that being said, there is a zipper for the bottom cushion that makes the padding easy to remove, it'd be easy to get a peice of foam cut to replace the firm padding inside. For me it was not that big of deal, I'm hoping it will break in a little with time. The bottom cushion does not have matching fabric on the underside, so it can't be flipped.
I've just redone my bedroom & didn't want to spend a small fortune on a chair that only my clothing would have use of. I was very surprised & impressed at the richness of the fabric. The colors are absolutely beautiful...(I'm very picky & really did expect to send this back!) It's not the most expensive fabric, but it is quite decent. The chair is heavier than I figured & a good size. Like the other reviews, it's very, very firm & I wouldn't think it would be very comfortable to sit in for long periods, but to sit in it to put on a pair of boots, or shoes, it's perfect. And I figure my clothes won't mind the firmness. Oh & the cushion is held in place w/a good size piece of velcro, so it will stay in place. It really does look even better in person, than in the photo. If you're looking for a solid piece of furniture for a room that gets a lot of use, I don't think it will stand the test of time. After all, it's made in China. The fabric is a loosely woven polyester & would not wear well, I don't think...over time. There is NO turning the cushion over if it starts to wear...the other side of the cushion is not covered w/the same fabric. But, for the price, you can't go wrong. It actually looks more expensive than it really is. Like I said...it's in the master bedroom & is more a show piece & a place to throw some clothes on than anything else. It arrived in great condition. There was 1 scratch on one of the back legs, but it doesn't show at all. Nothing a little cover stain won't fix. I plan to look for different legs, just because the style legs it comes with are more modern & my room is more cottage theme, white iron bed, w/bronze accents, antique white dresser & night stands. But, it sits very sturdily...no wobbling at all. It really is quite pretty. Even my husband liked it & he never has an opinion about such things. In some of the other reviews, they said it took a while to put it together??? You have to screw in 4 legs. The front & back legs are different & each have a slight curve to them, so you have to look closely at the directions. The back legs curve "out" towards the back & the front legs have a very slight curve to the back. If you pay attention to this, you shouldn't have any trouble. The screws are long enough to make it a fairly sturdy piece. Hope this helps if you're on the fence about this chair. It's absolutely worth the price. It's very, very nice.
I ordered two chairs for my son and daughter in law. One of the chairs came damaged; the back was kind of twisted. I contacted the customer service and got a replacement. It came with missing hardware for one of the legs, and now the chair is "legless". Too much trouble, and it is not worth it.
I spent several weeks shopping for a chair and agree that one would be hard-pressed to find a chair of this style/design and also above-average quality (for furniture that must be assembled, anyway) for as reasonable of a price as shown here. The color is beautiful and neutral enough to match with most any decor. I am very picky but I do love the way this chair looks and I'm quite happy with it! I do agree with the other reviewer that said the legs are a little off-kilter, however I was able to make mine work to my liking. The seat cushion is indeed a bit hard, but I would not compare it to sitting on wood; it is merely firm, which is better for my bad posture anyway. Great chair, highly recommended!
I searched for at least two months online & my local furniture stores; I couldn't find anything that came close to the choices on Overstock.com. When I finally did order, I had a "top three", that I narrowed it down to. This chair does have a very firm cushion, but I'm looking at that as a positive; thinking it will hold up better. If you're on the fence about this chair, don't hesitate to get it! Another review mentioned that it looks like it belongs in a boutique hotel; totally agree. I have it our recently remodeled bedroom, couldn't be more pleased with the look and the great price. Local furniture stores wanted at least twice the price for similar chairs. Love, love love it! Thank you Overstock.com for great customer service and the fastest shipping-ordered this on Monday afternoon & had it Wednesday! For $2.95 shipping! Awesome
Great chair..especially for the money. Arrived in perfect condition and in a timely fashion. Highly recommend!
I finally found a chair that looks great with my large, chocolate brown couch! My couch is so deep I have had trouble finding accent chairs that don't look "miniature," but the scale of this chair is just right. I ordered two, and they were delivered very quickly - and free shipping, you can't beat that! I love the colors and pattern of the fabric. Looks like it will hold up to a lot of family use. I highly recommend this chair.
Chair is good size and great quality. It matches my living room set. I have no complaints.
I was very apprehensive about ordering a chair on line. It arrived in about a week and I had my husband unwrap so I could get prepared in case it was not as expected. It was even better than I had dreamed of. The background color is a twill gray with cream vines and flowers and very expensive looking. It is not a really soft chair, but not uncomfortable. My husband had it put together in about 20 minutes as all you do is screw on the legs. (underneath seat cushion) I was super impressed with the tailoring. All patterns were centered and matched. It really looks like a $800. - $1,000. chair. I know because I have looked at numerous furniture and department stores.
I ordered two of these chairs and I was a little hesitant to order furniture online,because I think you like to feel the fabric and sit in them. But I was soooo happy with these chairs they are a good size not too small and the fabric is beautiful. One negative is that I noticed that because I ordered 2 chairs the pattern on each is not identical. But all in all not noticeable. Love these chairs!!

College football's top kicking award, the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award presented by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission recognizes three of the top kickers each week from FBS division teams as the "Stars of the Week."
Sophomore Jeremiah Detmer took over the national lead in field goals made with his 5-for-5 performance in the University of Toledo's 29-23 victory over previously undefeated Cincinnati on Saturday in Toledo. The Hilliard, Ohio native connected from 47, 43, 42, 25 and 20 yards to bring his total for the season to 18-of-23 on field goals. He added two PATs and has yet to miss an extra point attempt in 32 tries. With Detmer's help in knocking off the 21st ranked team in the country, Toledo defeated its first ranked opponent since 2004, and improved to 7-1 for their best start since 2001. Detmer's 86 points are the second-most in the nation by a kicker. Source
Congrats to Detmer. Keep up the good work.

One story is that women began tossing skillets competitively during the days of the pioneers as a way to kill time when man were off roping steers and whatnot.
Margie Gray lines up the specially made skillet at a previous Blue Hill Fair tossing competition.
Courtesy Blue Hill Fair
WHEN: 4 p.m. Sunday
WHERE: Blue Hill Fair, 233 Ellsworth Road, Blue Hill
HOW MUCH: $8; free for children under 12
INFO: bluehillfair.com; 374-3701
WHAT ELSE: The fair runs Thursday through Monday
Another story goes that women's skillet tossing contests grew out of the fact that a woman who could throw a skillet with accuracy had a certain amount of power and control over a misbehaving husband.
But the only thing we know for sure is that women's skillet tossing competitions are big. Go to any Maine fair this fall, and you're likely to see a skillet being flung, by a woman, in a contest.
And maybe nowhere are skillet tossing contests bigger than at the Blue Hill Fair. At least, it's hard to find a skillet toss with a bigger name: The Blue Hill Fair Intercontinental & Greater Hancock County Championship Women's Skillet Toss, scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday.
Wow, they must take their skillet tossing pretty seriously up in Blue Hill.
"Well, we're a little off the beaten path up here, so we sort of march down a different path," said Rob Eaton, president of the Blue Hill Fair. "We want to do things a little differently."
So that accounts, somewhat, for the oversized name as well as the divisions contestants compete in. (Don't get mad at me; I didn't make up the following stuff.)
There are two "kittens" divisions, for women ages 18 to 29 and 30 to 45. Then there are two "cougar" divisions, for women 46 to 64 and 65 and older.
"When we started the event, we were playing it kind of straight," Eaton said. "Then we decided to have some fun with the divisions. It's just in good fun."
And good fun, at least in the form of a women's skillet toss, is a big draw. Since the fair started staging a skillet toss about five or six years ago, the event has drawn up to 90 contestants each year, and regularly fills the fair's grandstands.
In tiny Blue Hill, that's a substantial crowd.
"You can tell the women are having fun, and each year they goad each other into taking part," said Eaton.
But to match the serious name, there have to be rules to this competition. A free-form skillet toss might be a little too haphazard, not to mention a little too dangerous.
So the fair's organizers have borrowed rules from other fairs. They even have their skillets made by a shop in Fryeburg that makes skillets tossed at the Fryeburg Fair. With a regular skillet, the handles can break off, said Eaton, so only competition-grade skillets are used.
Each contestant gets two throws, and no practice tosses. They have to use the fair's skillets -- no specially rigged skillets from home.
There is an official throwing line. If a women steps over that line while throwing -- underhand or overhand -- the official line judge will sound an air horn so everyone knows of the infraction. Then there is a center line, right down the middle of the throwing alley. Throwers have to get as close to the center line as possible, because they are scored for both accuracy and distance.
The final rule is that the contest is open only to women. The winners in each bracket -- kitten or cougar -- get $50.
What about the men? Can't they fling a frying pan as well as anyone?
"We do think the guys ought to have something, too," said Eaton. "Maybe a keg toss."
