I Feel Myself
The love/hate relationship continues
Yep - I'm back on the site and wondering what's going on with the download speeds and the use of download managers. Just tried to download a video using the same manager I've always used and it quickly ended, giving me a 52 k/b file. And the browser speed is horrendous, running from around 75 to 100 kb/s. Nothing like seeing 1 hour, 10 minutes to finish a 300 meg file...
Anyone else been here recently or currently who can relate their experience with downloads?
On the plus side (sort of), I saw a reference to their making changes in the lighting on some videos and I look forward to seeing what that's all about. Just wish it wasn't taking ages to see what that's all about. First file to be finished in 47 minutes...
And today, 10 meg speed. Took seconds to download a 315 meg file. Not sure what was up last night. I've seen a site have some variation in server speed from day to day, but nothing this radical.
Constant 75-150 kb/s speed. Been mostly slow all week, with very few spikes of real speed. I'm getting way better speeds using a flash recorder on YouTube. It's ridiculous spending money for this.

Nice Try
This was a nice attempt at something different that unfortunately didn't really come together. It was good to see some "real" looking models, and also cool to see them doing their thing in more natural settings (though there were way too many soft-focus, dimly-lit shoots in bed). Downloads were also very quick. The biggest downsidea for me were the lack of pictures to go along with the movies and the fact that many of the models appeared over and over. The site still managed to get a decent number of videos up before calling it a day, though, and at $9.95 without any annoying rebills, you might want to check it out.

High production values.
Great contributors.
Forum interaction.
Well moderated.
Like most sites, the older contributors aren't in HD but that's not a con, just a limitation of the time when the earlier vids were filmed.
Bottom Line:
IFM is geared toward the female orgasm so hardcore fans would be left wanting. For me, the reward is in the site's honest effort to produce something a bit more artistic and personal.
I Feel Myself
A perfect fit.
Read a lot of the other reviews and the pros and cons each reviewer puts up and well, we all have an opinion. My opinion of IFM is very high. Quality is excellent, the staff are friendly and responsive and the site is closely monitored to protect the contributors who are often active on the forums.
It's creative and refreshing. Safe site, I've encountered no problems whatsoever. It's artistic without being pretentious. The production values are very high and they have several other sites related which are also pay sites, not free extra content but they are of the same quality. In short, it's comfortable site in my opinion. I think a member gets more than their money's worth in a membership's time.

Something more sites should do
Sometimes it pays to read the fine print. Nosing around the site, I saw something that really caught my eye:
Choose a rebilling subscription with the confidence that if you forget to cancel, we will refund your rebill charge if you let us know within 7 days, and haven't used your account since the rebill."
I can't say I've ever seen that offer anywhere else. More sites should do this! I'm sure more than one of us has forgotten a subscription and let it roll over when we really didn't mean to. It would have been nice to have this option.
But... I'm laughing because my love/hate relationship still stands with this site. I've often said that my life is a series of contradictions, a lot like my screen name. This site is no exception. I just reread some of the expired reviews and it never ceases to amaze me how good content can be accompanied by an attitude that says you can't have the least bit of criticism about it without being told how wrong you are. Still a good join - just keep your mouth shut! LOL
Gentleman Handling
Now this does look different
I've kind of blown a lot of money on porn lately so I won't be splashing out on any new subscriptions for a while, but this site looks very interesting and different.
It's aimed seemingly equally at gay men and straight women and seems to be a "arty", tasteful sort of site, just solos of men masturbating.
It's rare to see this kind of sites. It certainly makes a change from amateur sites or sites which self-consciously try to be "dirty" and tacky.
It might all be a bit soft-focus and softcore for me, but I have added the site to my list of sites to give a try to - not a bad monthly price either.
If anyone joins I'd love to see a review and have recommended it for one on TBP.
I Feel Myself
first read the "about", if it's OK for you, join wholeheartedly
Just some observations I made there, randomly ordered. I joined about 1 week ago, so I am no expert yet, so you don't have the right yet to stone me to death. Maybe it will sound like douchebaggery but these points are what I felt after joining (at least I am not making them up). First of all, I strongly recommend that you read the "about" section before you join, so you can get the gist of what you should expect. The main points are "realism,", "naturalism" and "ethical" representations of women. This leads to one shortcoming: repetitive action, which was mentioned in some comments before. There are not many variations for a woman to masturbate as natural as possible. The self given statement "a historic achievement in erotica" is startling. The emphasis on aesthetic presentations of female masturbation etc. is really interesting and OK, but that's that. I have never seen such a self glorification on any other site. Joining is like to be getting a member of some special community which despises the watcher of "common" porn. One point which I want to emphasize is that there is a wide margin to judge from whether you are diverging from "ethical" (I love this word) porn. In general, sex is not as clean and sugar-coated as depicted here, there is a broad variation of perversion which is nonethless "ethical" in its own right. Just because you use no scripts doesn't make you better. So, after all, I was not really that disappointed by this site as it sounds. It's OK if you want to live out your voyeristic fantasies for some time. But it's nothing for a long time membership.

Abby Winters style?
I was just watching the awfully short preview on their site and their sparse offerings of micro preview pictures. Can anybody confirm or dismiss my notion that this site is an awfully lot like Abby Winters?
I Feel Myself
I agree with the positive comments others have made about the concept, models, artistic presentation and skilful editing and presentation of the content.
But, and it's a very big but: having been encouraged to subscribe by seeing Ifm videos on xHamster (where downloads are very simple, and quick, and allow you to jump about the clips immediately within seconds of downloading) I've found the site is absolutely spoiled by tediously slow download speeds, apparently un-openable and incomplete clips and the inability to hop about the clips with a mouse-click.
Although I have a modern laptop and I'm reasonably competent with it I acknowledge I may not have the skills to get the best out of the Ifm server, but if xHamster can provide a slick presentation with nearly every video for free, why can't Ifm do it for a substantial subscription???
And as others have said, the 'formula' looks and pose (NB singular!) become boringly repetitious very quickly.
3/10 Very Disappointing
Best Wishes,
PS Many thanks for a very useful review site :o)

The solo action here is exactly what Im interested in : They're done mostly on a bed by models lying on their backs, starting slowly removing clothes piece by piece as gyrations intensify and build up to their masturbation scenes, most of which are done very well and in different degrees of momentum. All acts culminates in orgasms.
Each models page opens with her name, length and size of the video. An option to stream or download in either WMV or High performance. Also on the model's page is a list of her other clips, onto which one can simply click to open.
Video quality is quite satisfactry, with some inovations added I haven't seen elsewhere.
A forum exist for those who want to communicate their thoughts .
Updates are done on a daily basis, although too complicated for me to figure out.
A page navigation with over 200 sections listing about six models pages is a convincing reminder there's ample videos for the full price
The fact clips are so artfully done, one can almost overlook the shortage of the usual glamor one finds in most models found on other sites of it's kind.
Perhaps its a good thing, though, because the "plain Jane" "real-life" type we get here does appear to present a fresh change.
But, I hasten to add there's no shortage of "babes" either, whose natural beauty introduces something Porn marketing could use more of.
Many of the clips were done which included the model's girlfriends, conversations, and girl-stuff which interested me in no fashion.
IFM promotes, as well as present too much space for their other pay sites to suit me.
I left them alone for fear Id be roped into joining another site.
Bottom Line:
I visited this site a couple years ago, and, upon this recent revisit, I found little change except for the added models.
As I mentioned earlier, IFM is unique and is giving me mostly what I want: Realism, routines done with elements to please most everybody. They seem to sincerelly have their members' interest in mind.
One thing that stood out for me was the absence of those infernal toys. The fact I saw little if any of them this time has a lot to do with heightening my respect for IFM's skills at running this kind of site.
I'm also pleased to see less vaginal "gouging." I suppose this whole hand digging stuff is done for effect. The more I can see of her virgina, especially on angle shots, the more I like it.
I would sumit my vote, however, for more full-body scenes and limited closeups...esp. those which dwell too long on the same spot.
If there was a disappointment to be had, Id have to say it was the unavailability of any form of discount through our PU The Best Porn.
Although the membership and renewal price is the full $29.95, I'm convinced I'm still getting my money's worth.
I like IFM; And I enthusiastically recommend it: And its very likely I'll join again.
Please note this is an edited revision of my review of
I Feel Myself
Since I did this initial review of IFM, I came to realize I had acted too hastly with some of my judgements, and I think it only fair to IFM to rectify those actions, if indeed they cast any negative connotations that would otherwise effect the decisions of those contemplating joining this site.

- Exclusive content of mostly Amateur girls masturbating until they reach authentic orgasm.
- Content explores the realist orgasms you can find with focus on contractions, writhing, suddle noises, and facial gestures.
- HD movies available in HD mp4 (1280 X 720 with ~5,000 kbps), HI-Q mp4 and Wmv, med-q Wmv and m4v with roughly 400 videos available in HD.
- Updates at least one video daily.
- No DRM.
- Site navigation is quite straight forward.
- Site design is easy on the eyes and sleek enough.
- My IFM section includes total downloaded overall, amount downloaded that day for download limit monitoring, login dates and times, and you can select server for greater speeds.
- Active forum.
- Model index with some good info like age, where the model is from, favorite books, favorite music, favorite cinema, and a few random words they want.
- Most models are attractive but do not expect the majority to be fake and plastic barbie dolls. Most models are women you see on a daily basis at like a grocery store enjoying their bodies. Plus, some are so called 'hipsters' and may not shave and so on.
- There is a focus on showcasing 'genuine orgasms in a tasteful way' which I agree with but some content can be considered too artsy which results in low lighting, static cameras, and non-preferred views.
- The attempt to make models the most comfortable as they can be results in real orgasm but mostly in one position and not a huge amount of camera presence.
- Model index is labeled as 'artists' which the artists are considered the models in the scenes, which can actually be hard to find and may be overlooked.
- Most videos are split up as seperate updates and makes for daily updates but repetitive content.
- 6 GB download limit.
- no pictures or screens but understandable to an extent due to comfort level attempts.
Bottom Line:
This site dedicated to showcasing authentic female orgasms. The site delivers in this aspect because I rarely saw any of the fake moans and non-movement you see on many sites that are supposably showcasing female masturbation to orgasm. These girls here actually writh and contract while making noises no one would ever expect to come out of a female mouth which is exactly what happens with a real female orgasm if you have witnessed one first hand. You won't get the classic porn 'ohhs' and 'ahhs' here, but full out chest turning red and dolphin noise making orgasms; all caught on video for you.
However, with that said there are some things that detracts from the site. For one, the sites dedication to real orgasm does not mean lighting has to be so dark. A female does not need to be in darkness to achieve full orgasm and many of the studio videos are filmed in extremely low lighting. However, I do understand the camera presence may detract from comfortableness so the camera may stay a bit static for the shoot. This does not bother me as much as the lighting but keep in mind about the static camera which mostly stays overhead looking down on the model, usually full body shots. But, I will admit that many videos will end up going to other angles eventually which is a nice touch and improvement but it is not always present.
The sites models are overall nice but I believe you have to be a fan of amateur models to fully enjoy the content. Personally, many of the models to me were just too average looking and detracted from my overall fantasy. However, there are some gems present in the bunch even for the most jaded. However, I cannot stress this enough if you are thinking about joining.
There is a few different types of content present. You have studio made content, home made content, interviews, lesbian footage, and 'diary' footage. The studio and home made footage are quite self explanatory. However, interviews and diary footage can be a bit different. This footage usually involves none to very little nudity and a lot of talking. The lesbian footage is quite erotic but the model selection reminds me of what real lesbians mostly look like. They are usually quite hipster with shorter hair and less shaving but are actually extremely passionate. An interesting difference in content that may be enjoyed by others.
Overall, the sites focus is well played and you will get what you are looking for, the real female orgasm. However, the site does fall short in regards to the overall delivery. Attempts at changing location turn in to artsy settings and the overall location is just a static, poorly lighted bedroom. But, I can give justification for some of these aspects due to the site trying to make these models the most comfortable to reach full and real orgasm. However, some footage seems to go a bit too far with the lighting, static camera, and setting. All-in-all, you will get a lot of great footage and they are probably the best at authenticity.

A nice addition to something not so nice
Joined up again and I see that they now have a bandwidth counter/warning.
You have reached xx% of the daily download limit. Fair use of the site permits 6GB of data per day as stated in the Terms of Use. When this limit is reached, you'll be unable to watch or download videos until tomorrow."
After you reach the limit, you see this:
You have used more than 6GB of data today and reached the daily limit. Your usage will be reset in x hours x minutes and you will be able to view or download more videos."
I'm not thrilled with the limit, but it's nice to have something to monitor the usage and tell you when you can resume viewing and downloading.
I Feel Myself
Just an update
With what I'll call the down slide of AbbyWinters, it seems I'm down to two staples - IFeelMyself and
Since it doesn't make too much sense to me to keep reviewing the same sites over and over, I guess I'll be sticking to comments when I see something noteworthy on those sites.
On May 7th of this year, IFM rolled out some really nice crystal clear mp4 files. Starting with the hi-res files, they've changed the page layout slightly so you no longer have to set your media preference for the file type you want. Each preview picture has all the download options available right below it - 1280 resolution mp4 (If available), 640 resolution mp4 and wmv, and lower res wmv and m4v files. I don't know the specifics for the lower res files as I've never downloaded them.
There is one curiosity with the new files though. I don't know if it's just because the hi-def is relatively new on the site, but some of the files they have tagged as HD have mp4 files that are no higher resolution than the 640 wmv files. And some of the videos still aren't available in HD mp4 yet. It remains to be seen if this is just their running out material they had already shot, or if the truly HD files are going to hit or miss from now on.
I have a love/hate relationship going here. The content's great. Some of the responses their reps have left on here leave something to be desired. Telling someone it's none of your business why they've done something they've done or that the download limit "only bothers people who are sucking the site dry" is just the kind of thing that reminds me that porn is a business, nothing more. So it seems these days - Buy my product, take what you get.
I Feel Myself
A question before I go back
Nope - I can't stay away from this one. But I always try to go back after the content has built up. Since there's a 3 gig download limit, I'm trying to calculate the best time to rejoin, so I'm curious if anyone currently with the site can tell me the average file size of the new HD files. I'm most interested in the wmv files.

-There is a nice variety of ethnicities, ages, and body-types.
-The women/girls have a very authentic quality to them.
-All picture sets (or Folios, as the site calls them) are available as zip files.
-A huge amount of content.
-ISMS recently abandoned its multi-tiered pricing scheme, so now all members get all the content.
-Decent quality videos, downloadable as .mp4s, with no DRM.
-Discounts available if you can locate a banner ad and link to the site through it.
-Some of the more popular Abby Winters models (such as Toni B) have some additional sets here.
-Very fast downloads.
-11 updates per week
The single biggest issue here is that there is no good search feature. Basically, you can search by country and that's about it. Considering the many hundreds of models on the site, we should be able to search by age, race, body type, and more.
The other downside is that the pictures aren't huge, especially by today's standards.
Bottom Line:
Perhaps it's officially true: with today's fancy cameras *anyone* can take a great picture. Well, anyone can take an in-focus picture with decent lighting, if these girls do indeed shot themselves. I'm skeptical because there is a fairly uniform quality. When real girls shot pictures of themselves in the mirror or whatever, they're usually pretty terrible with red eyes, poor lighting, and such. I'm not convinced the site is authentic.
It IS, however, a great source of unconventional models. There are many races, many body types, and many ages. The vast majority are caucasian girls in their early 20s, but there are some women up to 50. Many of the models are not conventionally beautiful in the super-thin, fake-breasted, air-brushed manner that we're used to. They seem real with a joyful vitality.
Some of the models have more of an artistic sense than others. Some models just shoot their bodies in a straightforward manner, while others get more creative. The premise stays the same, but there is still a surprising amount of variety.
If you enjoy amateurs having a good time naked, this site is for you. It updates 11 times per week and the quality of the updates is consistent and doesn't overload you with a lot of generic junk. The personality of the models really comes through and they seem like real people.
I wish the site had a decent search option, but that hardly matters when you consider the uniqueness of the site and how it does so much right. Highly recommended.

+ Still the most realistic masturbation site out there - no make-up encrusted, siliconed-injected models, just women enjoying themselves
+ Unlike other masturbation sites, the women here don't typically play to the camera
+ The site is moving into Hi-def (see bottom line and my comment at right)
+ Files available in high and low resolution wmv and high and low resolution mov
+ 1000+ episodes up, running an average of 5-10 minute each
+ Daily updates (with one con below)
+ They seem to be getting away from the same old "bird's eye view", dimly lit shoots. More women are doing shoots outdoors and in locations other than a bed
+ The member's forum is as alive as ever, with people commenting on the site and the girls daily
- Update schedule is still light with only one episode added per day
- Found out the hard way that there's a 3 gig a day download limit. Go over and you're locked out for 24 hours
Bottom Line:
Well... I still don't have a job but I couldn't resist this one. This has always been one of my favorite sites and I just happened to be checking the site to see what's what. I saw exactly what I'd been looking for - IFM is moving to hi-def! So, the credit card took a hit and back in I went.
As of the date of this review there's about a week's worth of 720x576 video up and I have to say it's a most welcome addition. Bitrates have jumped from 900+ to 1600+ so the files look GOOD. Now I'm eagerly awaiting the the higher resolutions. The updates still just come one a day so I think this is still one of those sites you join, download for the month, then leave to join again after the content has built up. Just be careful when you go back and try to catch up that you don't download more than 3 gigs a day or you get locked out for 24 hours.
Definitely tops in it's niche as it is, if they could get more than an episode a day up, I'd say this site would be about as perfect as you can get.
I Feel Myself
IFM is going Hi Def
Taken directly from the IFM site:
"In November 2008 we began a $100,000 upgrade of our production facilities for conversion to Hi Def, Widescreen video. The first step was the purchase of Sony EX1 XDCAM cameras, which record in full Hi Def at 1920 x 1080 pixels (not HDV 1440 x 1080 as used by most of the industry). We began using the cameras immediately and so all material recorded since November 2008 is ready for encoding into various hi definition formats for release on IFM. We also have some footage recorded since 2007 in HDV which will transfer quite nicely to the new format.
Of course this means we'll soon be upgrading the video playback facilities on the site, making the high def versions of new videos available to those who have the connection speed. We'll still support dialup customers with small versions of the videos, and the current standard sizes will increase as well. Additional file formats will be offered.
For a while, not all videos will be available in hi def, as we run out all the SD footage still in the system. All the existing videos will be unchanged, and won't be deleted from our back catalogue. Subsequent re-releases will be in higher res, if not widescreen."
Very nice!

-All other masturbation oriented sites fade to a pale pink in comparison.
-The Female orgasm, not a phrase usually associated with porn, is on full display.
-A host of fresh faces. Does anyone claim to have seen these gals elsewhere? Other than its non-nude sister site
-Most lose themselves to their pleasures, others stare straight into the lens. Some of each group generate yells and groans that are klaxon-loud. I dare say the building has no mice.
-During the post-orgasm, the sensation overload leaves some barely ambulant as good sex is a gentle cathartic.
-While some don't get naked, I enjoy the slow undressing of those that do. Many begin by rubbing thru their garments & this may continue for some time before blouse, bra and panties are removed at leisure.
-Understandably, a vid only site, as moans/groans don't translate well to pics.
-Some updates are merely a previously released scene now shown at a wider crop or via another camera.
-Perhaps two gals old enough to have bought a beta tape. The rest are just past legal age.
-The home page naviagation links are squashed into a small area. I clicked into wrong sections thru out my m'ship.
-Its a one-trick pony site: the desire to film big O's reaches something not far from mania.
-Concolourous sets.
Bottom Line:
-This is one of the tiny number of porn sites whose members aren't 98% male. Don't write that your sexy wife is devoted to
or the latest female conquest really grooves to your old downloads of
Jeanna Fine
fuck-fests. No, I'm guessing this is one of a very few with a sizable m'ship of single females who tracked it down on their own accord. Others would be
and, maybe,
-If your idea of perfect porn is non-plot fucking conducted at breakneck speed, hup-two-three-four! then you won't incur an erection. If you prefer women being fucked into the floorboards, so hard she ends up with a nosebleed or concussion, this site won't raise your blood pressure.
-A reminder of what gets many women off: fully half don't finger themselves internally, the dildos are small-ish, I don't recall any anal probing. Judging by the twitches and moaning, any desire for cock is a passing velleity compared to the yearning for mons venus stimulation. Gentlemen, take notice.

Interesting site
I stumbled across this site a couple days ago and the sample video looked amazing and very hot.
Has anyone been a recent member and know if they have put in more variation of the poses like some of the comments and reviews seem to indicate was an issue?
I Feel Myself
They should try some different poses. Who wants to watch 99% of the girls in one pose (on their back). They have a few sitting, but the hottest of all was Cle standing up. How about more standing, sitting, etc poses?

One of the few megasites on the internet out there with "true" girl next door types.
Massive collection - over 3,600 folios to date.
Many many many cute girls.
Regular daily updates since 2003.
Includes detailed personal information submitted by the model herself.
3 month membership including "extras" on $45. A real bargain!!!
Non professional photography includes numerous odd angles and soft looking pictures.
There are few web videos
Bottom Line:
I am surprised there is only one review of this incredible site thus far. It features a massive collection of girl next door types, mainly from Australia, and yes, some featured on the venerable Abby Winter site. Here is how it works: The girls express an interest in submitting a portfolio of themselves and the website sends the girl a camera to photograph themself. The pictures are digital snapshots, of generally high quality. The girls themselves all appears to be amateurs doing this as a form of self expression. The website also features extensive personal information submitted by the model including her reason for posing. I would say most of them look like the kind of girls you would see at a local club.
There are only a handful of websites which feature a huge quantity of genuine girl next door types. Abby Winters is the most famous, but this one has the same quality of girls, and more quantity to boot. The photographic quality and navigation is not up to Abby Winters standards, but I still recommend this site highly. All in all, this site is a tremendous value at $45 for 3 months. You can opt for a $29 membership, but does not include additional sets submitted by the girls. Trust me, you want to spend the extra $16 over 3 months to see the additional sets. It's worth it!!!!!!!!!!

- Extremely high quality content
- Updated often
- Some of the models are very hot; if you have a British Accent fetish, this site will feed it often
- FINALLY, realistic orgasms--not the feigned screaming, shouting and gasping in typical porn
- Deviates from the annoying fish-eye camera lens extreme close-ups; very organic, stable videography for maximum viewing enjoyment
- Some of the videos have outdoor solo shots
- DRM-free WMV files at 900kbit/sec. bitrate; high quality videos that will play on any decent PC.
- Absolutely, positively NO intercourse--even when "Friends" are in the picture (unless you get off watching dudes give their girl a hand job)
- Porn very clearly aimed at the female demographic; the bisexuals/Lesbians aren't the sort you would find in porn aimed at heterosexual men
- Many videos will cheat you out of a good view, lots of models never take off all of their clothes
- The camera angles, while pleasantly stable and pointed at the important stuff - girl's faces, their bits - it can get old. Videos with different angles with girls in different positions is very rare.
- "Mood" lighting overused; the better videos are shot in daylight
Bottom Line:
Highly erotic content, I've downloaded A NUMBER of videos, so there's lots to enjoy here. I honestly thing there isn't enough realistic "females masturbating" porn out there; the only other site I can think of with material this engaging is
.com and I honestly think
is more compelling--especially with their 900k bitrate WMVs. Nevertheless, I was only able to find 2 videos on each page to be keep-worthy. So my recommendation would be to sign up, download what you like, and then sign back up in another 3 or 4 months for the next batch of goodies.

Thought the price was reasonable and lured me in the first time.
I came back a second time about 1 year later and updates are regular (daily actually)
The little window that informs me about upcoming updates.
The difference in scenes...some are outdoors and very "sneaky."
Download speeds are good.
Like other reviews, the close facial view during the orgasm, I would like to see the full view sometimes.
Sometimes the reshoots or re-edited shoots, aren't all the much better than the original. AND sometimes...they are.
Very few women of color...the ones here are WOW!
Bottom Line:
If you enjoy the looks and sounds of a women during orgasm...this site is great. The price makes it reasonable. The site updates daily, so there is no question on "when?"
The ladies are not porn stars, so there is the uniqueness of the site. Just every day ladies being willing to allow us to see a very intimate and sexy moment.
I will be returning in the future and am confident I will be satisfied.
I Feel Myself
It's cooling off
Yeah... it's gotten a bit repetitious, as one woman after another is seen in the same poses, from the same angles, as dozens of others. Still a few novelties poppping up from time to time, but it just doesn't seem as cutting edge as it did last year.
But the biggest reason for my disappointment in IFM is the site's seeming disregard for their customers. I'd put up a post on their forum about the disappearance of a couple of their videos and it was removed without explanation. I then got absolutely no response to the two emails I sent, asking about the missing videos AND the post being pulled. Seems to me even a plausible lie would've been in order on this one.
Are you watching this IFM? Here's a chance for a bit of redemption!

Definately going back, can't fault anything.
Perfect holiday retreat. Lovely lodge and settings. Would definitely return.
We fell in love with the place before we even arrived just by looking at the pictures and then upon arrival we quickly realised that the pictures didn't do it justice. We had an excellent holiday from day one and once the car was unpacked we quickly relaxed into the surroundings. All four of us loved every minute on the site but guest number five our dog enjoyed it more than all of us.
Absolutely idyllic surroundings and accommodation! beautiful countryside; handy for all amenities too.
Lovely surroundings, nice clean accommodation. Accessibility to Angelsey and snowdinia.
fantastic lodge in an idyllic setting
Fantastic stay- can't wait to return!
Location brilliant, lodge well equipped, clean and comfortable. Good communication from owners who thought of everything. Plenty to do and see.
This lodge was amazing. It had everything we needed for our holiday inside. Beautiful accommodation and location. Really peaceful and relaxing holiday which was just what we needed would not hesitate in going back .
Fantastic .... Fantastic ..... Fantastic - can't wait to go back, what else can I say.

Gazillion Entertainment has brought the classic Diablo gameplay into the Marvel universe. Letting players take the role of their favorite super heroes and join together with other players to take down classic villains in a variety of settings.
With a strong backing from Marvel this free-to-play MMO is not a cheap rip-off on the brand. Marvel has allowed them to unveil new costumes for heroes months before they revealed them in their comics, and most recently they were given all the assets to create the Iron Man 3 armor that you will see in the movie for players to wear.
Now you can't create your own hero, but for the Marvel fans, you get to take the role of any hero and after you unlock them you can switch to them at any time. For example I played as Wolverine, Thor, Iron Man, Storm, and my favorite Marvel hero Deadpool. Deadpool is even voiced by Nolan North, and all the other characters have voice-acting attached to them as well.
Each character have fully unique skill sets and attacks. Left mouse is their primary attack, right mouse is another attack that uses "mana", and then ASD as well as some keys are your other skills, which is different from having to use the number keys, actually pretty smart if you think about your hand placement for these point and click games.
The skills had some neat animations and the range of what they did were enjoyable, I could float with a tornado surrounding me dealing damage as Storm, Throw my hammer a good distance and have it boomerang back as Thor, or even throw explosive teddy bears as Deadpool.
You are dropped in various random-generated maps in the universe with other players to adventure, participate in dynamic events, finish an over-arching mission, and get loot. These missions tend to end with a boss battle that can earn you items like medals that you can equip and have the ability to modify you with one of the bosses traits. For example you could kill Venom and end up with something that drains health or causes the symbiosis damage.
Although you can only influence appearance by finding/buying costumes, all of your gear is upgradeable and craftable. Plus the build you choose for skills will make you look different from other characters.
The Marvel universe is gigantic so they should have no problem constantly throwing in new characters for people to use and making it still have that MMO feel. Marvel fans can relish in playing as their favorites in the worlds they have grown up with and even though the game is deep you can also jump on as a casual players and find something for yourself.
I am not sure how many outsiders they can pull in, but fans of Marvel and fans of superheroes in-general, should at least try it out as the creator of Diablo is behind this game, and its like a brand new experience with that fun gameplay.

For a person that was there at PAX East 2013, you could at least try and get the name of the company right. It's also in the picture :P

Friday the 13th (1980)
8 trivia entries
Directed by: Sean S. Cunningham
Starring: Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer, Jeannine Taylor, Robbi Morgan
In the scene where Alice finds Bill's body hanging on the back of the door to the generator room, the producers purposely did not tell Adrianne King what they were going to do to the body nor did they let her see the body beforehand. When she saw the body during filming it was for the first time. The scream she produced was genuine as it scared her badly. Needless to say, that entire scene was shot in one take.
One critic was so angry at Betsy Palmer's role in the movie (which had angered many of her fans), that he published her address in his magazine, and encouraged people to write her and protest her. He published the wrong address.
When Brenda's lifeless body suddenly crashes through the window before a horrified Alice, it's not Ms. Bartram at all. It's none other than Tom Savini, who is also an accomplished stuntman, having donned a nightgown and wig to emulate Ms. Bartram for the stunt.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Why are traffic lights set up with red, yellow and green signals, and how did they come to mean what they do (go, stop and caution)?
Traffic lights have a long and complicated history, particularly if one examines their various forms throughout the world. In times past, various countries devised their own semifore controls, using different kinds of signals and lights. According to most sources the first traffic light was actually set up in 1868 in London, England to control street traffic near the British Houses of Parliament. The light used a system similar to the gas lamps that were used for railroad signals at the time, which used red and green lamps. At the time there was no way to automatically operate it, so it was changed by a lever at its base by a policeman. A little over a year after it was installed it exploded, injuring the man who was running it.
The German's claim they were the first ones to install electric traffic lights in 1924 in Berlin. The lights were mounted on an octagonal tower which was controlled from a cab that sat on the top of the tower by a policeman, but only a few years later they were automated.
Interestingly enough the modern traffic light that is in use today was invented in Salt Lake City by a policeman named Lester Wire. It was still however only a red-green light. Within a couple of years another light appeared in Cleveland, Ohio which had the a similar red-green combination, but had a buzzer which signified a color change was coming up shortly. The first four way light with three colors was introduced to Detroit, Mich. in 1920.
Even before that however, the evolution of interconnecting traffic lights for flow came in Salt Lake where in 1917 a system was developed to control traffic at six intersections at once. This system was still manually controlled however.
By 1927 automated lights were appearing and began springing up all over the world.
But the forms many around the world took were very different from those found in America. For instance rather than using yellow as a warning for cars nearing a "stale" light intersection some places had a timer hanging near or on the light that showed the amount of time a light had left on it before it changed. In many countries the lights look very different from what they do in North America. Some have banks of lights that mean various things. Some use four colors with a green yellow meaning the yellow will soon come up. Others use a flashing green-yellow to tell people that the light is getting ready to go to solid yellow. Many lights around the world have various signals with them for pedestrians and warnings; many have various arrows. In actuality it could be a lot more complicated than it is today and before 1968 it was. That was the year a meeting in Vienna, Austria (called the Vienna Convention) set international standards for traffic signals, which has generally resulted in more uniform signals around the globe. However, there are still many differences and signals in some countries that don't meet the standard.
As for the colors, apparently the electrical and railroad industry began using red and green to mean things many years before traffic lights, and the semifores were an outgrowth of that. It has been proven that colors affect peoples attitudes, and that red, in particular can make people ansey and inflame them, while green is more soothing. Yellow is considered warm. But red often meant danger to people in the past, and how that happened no one seems to know.
In modern America the traffic light is ubiquitous. It is common for many drivers to boldly ignore the signals and go their own way, running yellows and often even red lights. Many accidents result from this, with thousands of deaths being recorded from people running red lights.
How people observe lights is interesting, but no explanation for the way Americans treat traffic lights is better than a line from the movie Starman starring Jeff Bridges. In the movie Bridges is an alien being whose space ship is shot down over Wisconsin by the defense department and he takes on the identity of a dead man whose wife thinks he has miracously come back to life. He explains who he is and when she is in the process of driving him to Arizona to meet a mother ship to take him home he observes her reaction to traffic lights as the truth of the matter when he says, "I watched you very carefully. Red lights (mean) stop, green lights (mean) go and yellow lights (mean) go very fast."

A return home to Bremerton for WSP's top regional officer
BREMERTON - Bob Johnson's new job is in familiar territory.
The 34-year law enforcement veteran, who worked for Bremerton police and as a state trooper here in the late 1970s, 1980s and early '90s, took the post as top cop of the Washington State Patrol's local district in February.
"To be able to come back where you started, reacquaint with old friends, see the changes (to the community)," Johnson said, "is a great feeling."
Johnson, 56, oversees about 100 employees in the state patrol's eighth district, which encompasses all of the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas and Grays Harbor. His mission is to oversee the work done by the state patrol locally — making sure traffic is moving along safely; building criminal investigations from traffic stops; and working with and assisting local police agencies as well as the area's military installations and prisons.
Johnson, from a military family that moved often during his formative years, lived in Allyn in his late teens and graduated from North Mason High School in 1972. He began his law enforcement career in Mason County, working as both the corrections guard — the jail only had about 10 inmates — and 911 dispatcher.
He was hired with Bremerton in 1977 and promoted to sergeant in 1984. He remembers well the days when his office neighbored that of officer Craig Rogers, now the chief of police. He was drawn to traffic duties as a cop and ultimately yearned to work for an agency with more room to roam.
"I'd always wanted to go work for the state patrol," he said.
He worked the roads of Kitsap County as a trooper for seven years but when he made sergeant in 1992, he was reassigned to work in the southwest Washington town of Goldendale. He continued working up through the ranks and was promoted to captain in 2004. Johnson headed Vancouver-based district five for the last seven years.
Johnson has kept scrapbooks of his law enforcement career — he's up to four — that chronicle many adventures.
There was the time, when he was a member of the joint dive team of the Bremerton police and fire departments, that he helped find a car that had driven off the Warren Avenue Bridge.
Or the day horses wandered across Highway 16, and one of them hit a Volkswagen van and burst through its windshield, landing inside the vehicle. Johnson refers to that as a "100-year accident."
He's proud of the work the state's done to bring down the number of fatal crashes. He recalls the "carnage" of the roads when he worked them in the late '70s and early '80s, when 1,200 deaths a year in crashes wasn't uncommon. Today, the state averages less than half that amount.
The former Bremerton captain, Steve Sutton, left to head up the state patrol's investigative assistance division, which among other duties oversees the state's drug task forces.
Johnson has moved back to Bremerton with his wife, Ellen, who he met while he was working in Bremerton. At the time, she was a dispatcher for Kitsap County Central Communications, the 911 dispatch center. They have one daughter, Laura, in college.

Have you ..
If you answered "Yes" to any of the above (or inserted your own!), then read on, this post is for you!
Since I moved to Colorado several months ago, I've met several wonderful, passionate VSTS users who have asked me about a VSTS User Group. The Denver VS User Group is enormously popular, and as a result there seem to be quite a few folks who would like to start something similar that focuses on Team System.
To be clear, this proposed group is not to replace or compete with the VS User Group, but rather to offer a complement which gives a larger voice to the VSTS community.
I'm envisioning either a monthly or bi-monthly meeting schedule, depending on demand, meeting in the evening. Ideally, I'd love to see at least 20 people at each meeting, and grow membership organically.
What does it take to get a user group started?
If you've ever met me or read this blog, you know how passionate I am about Visual Studio Team System. What I've found is that the more people use it, the more passionate they become as well. I'm not getting paid to start a user group, nor will I. I just honestly think it could be a powerful medium for Team System users around the area to further enrich their value, and meet other great people in the process!
Please let me know your thoughts either by leaving a comment to this post, or emailing me directly. I'm interested in hearing insight on feasibility, willingness to participate and/or present, ideal meeting schedules, etc.

Republican state rep candidate Adam Chaprales is criticizing Democratic incumbent Rep. Brian Mannal over the latter's vote against a meals tax holiday for restaurants.
In a statement, Chaprales said Mannal "decided to deny some relief for the many restaurants that are struggling in this tough economy."
Mannal said the holiday, proposed for late July, would not have benefited Cape restaurants, would have required more time to reprogram registers, and was not enough of a break to encourage people to dine out.

Star Tell Me Pastor
My husband can't please me sexually
Dear Pastor,
I am a 23-year-old female who has been married for six months. I have a big problem when it comes to sex. My husband and I enjoy having sex, but I don't experience orgasm. I always want more and I even feel hornier after we are finished.
My husband and I started having sex a few months before we got married. He is my first partner and he only had one girlfriend before me. It was really painful when I just started and I had to get some help from the doctor to get things going. It really frustrates me and sex is becoming a chore because I know I am not going to be satisfied when I am done.
I really love my husband and I really like sex, but I am just not getting what I am to get out of it and it bothers me. He thinks I am thinking about it too much and he is doing all the right things. Sometimes I have to masturbate to get a release. Please help us, pastor.
Dear Unamed,
The news is not all bad. If you had said that you do not like sex, it would be bad news, indeed. But if you like it as you have said, there is great hope that you would indeed learn to experience orgasm through sexual intercourse. Perhaps your husband has not learnt the techniques that are involved in bringing you to orgasm. Perhaps both of you are not spending enough time in foreplay.
I would suggest that you purchase books on the art of love- making and learn the techniques of foreplay, etc. In the meantime, don't condemn yourself for trying to satisfy yourself by masturbating. The time will come when you might not need to masturbate because your sexual needs would have been met through coitus. You may also consider making an appointment to see a sex therapist.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
The lure of lighthouses
The Lights of Les Iles
In September 2013, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to visit a mostly unknown archipelago in the Gulf of St. Lawrence called Les Iles-de-la-Madeleine or the Magdalen Islands.
Since Jacques Cartier's first visit to these islands in the 16th century, many other seafaring vessels unfortunately wrecked due to the Islands' treacherous waters. Of the almost 13,000 current inhabitants, many can trace their family origins back to those shipwreck victims fortunate enough to wash up on shore alive. Today's locals, the Madelinots, consider themselves both Acadian and Quebecois.
Fishing, salt mining and tourism are the main industries for the area. Outdoor sports include bicycling, windsurfing, kitesurfing and scuba diving. Eco-tourists can get their fill of "CUTE" in February observing the new-born harp seals on the pack ice.
My visit was short, only 5 days, but each day was filled with beautiful vistas, fresh seafood and friendly locals who were more than happy to tell me their stories. One goal I did have was to find as many of the iconic lighthouses as I could. Of the current 6 lighthouses located throughout the islands, I was able to photograph 4; Cap Alright Lighthouse (1928), Borgot Lighthouse (1874), Anse-a-la-Cabane Lighthouse (1870-1871) and Entry Island Lighthouse (1874).
What do you think of this story?

How can a writer deal with rejection?
Dear Literary Ladies,
I know that rejection is part of a writer's life, but every time one submits something that gets turned down, it's hard not to feel crushed. How did you learn to cope with it, and not take it personally?
After leaving Prince of Wales College I taught school for a year in Bideford, Prince Edward Island. I wrote a good deal and learned a good deal, but my stuff came back except from two periodicals the editors of which evidently thought that literature was its own reward, and quite independent of monetary considerations. I often wonder that I did not give up in utter discouragement.
At first I used to feel dreadfully hurt when a story or poem over which I had laboured and agonized came back, with one of those icy little rejection slips. Tears of disappointment would come in spite of myself, as I crept away to hide the poor, crimpled manuscript in the depths of my trunk. But after a while I got hardened to it and did not mind. I only set my teeth and said, "I will succeed." I believed in myself and I struggled on alone, in secrecy and silence. I never told my ambitions and efforts and failures to any one. Down, deep down, under all discouragements and rebuff I knew I would "arrive" some day.
—L.M. Montgomery, The Alpine Path, 1917

Police release e-fit image after woman indecently touched during Poole rush hour
Posted: February 18, 2013|
Police have released an e-fit image after a woman was indecently assaulted during the rush hour along a busy Poole road.
Dorset Police are appealing for witnesses after a 26-year-old Christchurch woman was assaulted at around 8:30am on Monday February 4 along Commercial Road - near the Civic Centre crossing , leading to North Road.
The victim was inappropriately touched by an unknown man and luckily did not sustain any injuries.
Police Constable Deborah Day of Poole Police said: "This was a frightening incident for the victim and I am now able to release an e-fit of a man I am keen to speak with.
"Due to the time of day there would have been a high volume of traffic in the area and I am hoping that somebody witnessed the incident or has information about the offender.
"He is described as a white man of slim build, around five feet eight inches tall with short brown hair.
"He was wearing blue jeans and a jacket with the hood pulled up."
Witnesses and anyone with any information should call Dorset Police on 101, quoting incident number 04:93.

Remember the preseason posturing, propping up Oklahoma State's defense as the leaning post for an in-transition offense?
Seems like so much summer spin now.
Remember the preseason posturing, propping up Oklahoma State's defense as the leaning post for an in-transition offense?
Seems like so much summer spin now.
Once again, the Cowboys' best bet at success may be to saddle up the offense and stock the Air Raid with ample ammo to win its share of season shootouts.
What else to glean from Saturday night's 59-38 happening in the desert, where Arizona piled up 501 yards and 32 first downs and scored a perfect 8-for-8 in the red zone with five touchdowns?
OK, so it's a bit premature to write off the OSU defense just one real game into this 2012 season. And, yes, Wildcats quarterback Matt Scott looked good, especially in Rich Rodriguez's still lethal system, totaling 375 yards and three touchdowns of run-pass offense.
"I'd say he's pretty danged good," said defensive tackle James Castleman, one of the few Cowboys defenders to play well. "He's shifty. He knows how to run. And he's smart."
But the Cowboys D was supposed to be special in spots, too, with supposed lockdown corners in Brod Brown and Justin Gilbert and a trio of returning attackers at linebacker. And this stage of the season figured to be when the OSU offense would lean on its defense most, while breaking in the kid quarterback Wes Lunt.
Instead, it was Lunt offering all hope for a cardiac comeback in Tucson, throwing for a Big 12 freshman record 436 yards and flinging 60 passes, matching Brandon Weeden for the most in program history.
And it was the defense looking lost on the big stage, struggling to locate Arizona's playmakers and revealing its frustration with five personal foul penalties.
Even OSU's one signature strength of recent seasons — collecting turnovers — was absent, with the Cowboys unable to produce a single takeaway.
"That's what we thrive on — turnovers," said safety Daytawion Lowe. "And we didn't get any."
Critics of OSU's defense have pinned the luck factor a significant contributor to the impressive turnover totals of the past few seasons. The Cowboys claim they're making their own luck, with an extreme emphasis on takeaways in practices and games.
But so far in 2012, the turnovers haven't materialized the same way they did — seemingly on cue — in big games the past few years. The Cowboys have but two in two games (with both coming against hapless Savannah State), leaving them far off the pace of a year ago, when they led the nation with 44.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Bradley Manning, is he a hero or a traitor?
It's a question being asked right now. Manning was sentenced today to 35 years in prison for releasing classified documents.
Protesters chanted on the street in front of the White House with a message for President Obama: Free Bradley Manning.
In their eyes, Manning is a hero who didn't sit by quietly so neither are they. The men and women here want President Obama to pardon the former Army intelligence analyst.
Richard Ochs believes "The only people he was spying for was the American people, so they could know what was going and what the government was doing".
Prosecutors wanted Manning to serve 60 years hoping to send a clear message that leaking classified documents won't be tolerated. Protestors here today question that logic.
Ochs says that's based on a fraudulent premise "That he harmed this country."
But Frank Gaffney with the non-profit Center for Security Policy says Manning did damage our national security and justice was served today. He believes Manning acted as quote the "declassification authority" - in the process, helping our enemies understand how we gather information and giving them insight into what we know.
Manning's supporters obviously have a different take on it.
Farah Muhsin is with the Bradley Manning Support Network, which has raised over a million dollars for Manning's defense.
Muhsin says, "By legal definition is a whistle-blower, he tried to help by bringing transparency to the American public at a time when no one else was doing anything about it".
Manning will continue fighting, appealing the decision and asking for a Presidential pardon. The Bradley Manning Support Network will also continue fighting and raising money.
But the debate continues about whether he a hero or a traitor.

How to Make Yourself Emotionally Numb
Sometimes, you would think that being emotionally numb is the best way to stop from being emotionally hurt. This might be giving someone the silent treatment or cold-shoulder and it's the best way not to get emotionally hurt.
1Avoid certain people, although you may make yourself alone and even lonely, if you need to concentrate, be un-distracted or unaffected by a hurtful person, group or situation.
- Being emotionally numb means being rather asocial, as well as recessive (withdrawing). You can always be alone, even in a crowd.
2Use reasonable caution: "psychological repression" plays a major role in many mental disorders: so avoid failing or, perhaps, refusing to deal with reality in ones life which may not always be helpful to ones self-actualizing or to make personal, successful progress in acknowledging and handling situations in life reasonably to be sure to help your objectives.
3Talk less, if you need to or if you might tend to talk too much. Say what is necessary.
- If you are being asked a "Yes/No." question, simply nod or shake your head. But, if you have to answer a long-answer question, you must simply find your shortest answer. People who are emotionally numb rarely talk too much.
4Compare this to bluffing in playing cards such as poker, and do not give away your position on issues, while you are working on a serious or controversial issue.
5Avoid using facial expressions that exaggerate the way you think or feel.
- Always keep a blank face (called cool or dead-pan).
6Blink less, as blinking excessively may reveal a false position, fear or doubt.
- Blinking less seems to show a lack of emotion.
7Act on logic rather than emotional feelings or illogical, unnecessary or groundless, perhaps, baseless doubts, anger or accusations.
- People who are emotionally numb generally put their logical reasoning over emotional feelings.
8Avoid engaging excitedly in any compulsive, impulsive or obsessive talk or behavior, but you might need to talk to the right person and get somethings peacefully, settled, if possible.
- These are signs of premature or immature, or possibly, unthinking emotional difficulty, i.e.: allowing the subconscious mind to over-rule your need for keeping logical self-control.
9Allow joy and strength to replace anger or anxious feelings that might rule your life with peace and re-forming your problem to be an opportunity.
10Enjoy solitude by relaxing, resting and getting enough sleep.
- Be factual for what yields the better results: not false and so avoid feelings of futility whether focused on others fouls or your personal foibles and frailty.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Don't think about the people who you normally care about the most (family may be part of in some cases). They can bring back a lot of emotions happy, sad, anger, anxiety etc. Just Isolate yourself and you should be fine.
- Do not care about people's old, not currently accurate opinions of you.
- Keep the conversation light and shallow.
- Also be careful to avoid laughing or crying since that is a major sign of emotion.
- Always remain calm, cool, and collected to use your newly acquired emotionally numb state to your lifetime advantage.
- Watch out for certain types of music that can brings back old memories,which can bring back old feelings.
- Avoiding your feelings is always a bad thing, solve your problems and know that you want to hide your feelings from others not from yourself. Remember: Buried feelings never die.
- If you know of a friend that has a difficulty dealing with emotional issues, including anxiety and anger -- it would be a good idea for you to introduce them to this web page.
- If you are in depression, please seek help. Shutting down is not the answer!
- Base your emotionless self on a fictional or nonfictional character as a base for how you should act/react. Ex: Dr Gears from the SCP Foundation website.
- Emotional numbness can often come synonymously with loneliness, so be prepared to deal with that.
- The people that care about you, will try to get you to talk to them. (Family and friends). Give them one word answers or head movements. They'll give up eventually after figuring out that you won't talk. (Which helps with the numbing a lot).
- People may unnecessarily fear you if you seem sullen and brooding: relax.
- People may judge withdrawal as being as too serious, odd -- or even crazy: be somewhat open to people that are kind and approachable.
- You may lose some friends.

Coweta connections at 56th Grammys
by Celia Shortt
Two Coweta County Music educators were involved in the excitement of the 56th Grammy Awards show, which airs today.
Johnny Holloway, chorus teacher at Evans Middle School, was among the more than 30,000 initial nominees for the Grammy Music Educator inaugural award and was ultimately named a quarterfinalist. As a quarterfinalist, Holloway was one of 217 music teachers from 195 cities and across 45 states.
"It's overwhelming," he said. "A lot of good things have come of it. I'm honored and humbled."
Unfortunately, Holloway was not one of the 25 semi-finalists named.
From the 25, 10 were chosen as finalists and, finally, the overall winner. Dr. Lyn Schenbeck, music instructor at the Coweta School System's Central Educational Center, also has ties to the Grammys. Schenbeck is a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the group responsible for the Grammy Awards.
The Music Educator Award is among NARAS' programs and honors an instructor who was nominated as an integral influence or part of a Grammy performer's path to success. NARAS programs aim to provide the opportunity for select students to work together with working professionals in the music industry. Programs include sessions such as Grammy Camp Basic Training and Grammy Camp and Grammy Camp Jazz Session.
Schenbeck is excited about the opportunities NARAS has worked to provide for students.
"This NARAS initiative is very close to my heart," she said. "I have been waiting many years to NARAS put forth this music education endorsement."
Schenbeck has taught all levels of education all over the country for 40 years. In Coweta, she teaches music at the Central Education Center and is head of Centre Strings, the only community/student string orchestra in the county.
Schenbeck was named the Coweta County School System's 2013 Teacher of the Year.
"I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be in the public school system at this time of my career, " she said.
Several of her well-known students include Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland and Matt Still, chief engineer and producer for Elton John.
Sugarland has received multiple Grammy nominations and won two Grammy awards. Still has also been nominated for several Grammys and has won one.

As an only (biological) child of two parents who both worked in the field of mental health, I was given a lot of attention. And so were my feelings. Though I have quite a bit to say on THAT matter, I will refrain for the moment and summarize for your reading pleasure. In short, I was not given ample (i.e. any) opportunity to experience the discomfort of failure or rejection. If I received any feedback that was anything short of "you're PERFECT!" I assumed I had majorly fucked up and proceeded to have an earth-shattering meltdown.
Fast forward to the college years and you can see how this well-meaning parenting technique had the opposite of its intended effect. I had no coping skills for dealing with failure. Scratch that. I had no coping skills for dealing with ANY negative feedback. Once, I received less than perfect marks on an essay. I remember running to my room and crying like there had witnessed somebody die horribly. You know the kind: sobbing, tears pouring down like snot, inhaling in gasps that resemble some kind of dinosaur. The professor's comments on an essay were as follows: "this is not your best work," he wrote.
I don't mean to imply that I was a total mess all the time. I was only a total mess most of the time. And the degree of my messiness was in direct proportion to the amount of bad news I had received. I wasn't accepted to the competetive senior writing class. Cried for a day. I wasn't chosen as a candidate for a fellowship. Cried for two days.
Fast forward again to the unemployed years. Like I've said, I am trying my hardest to fully embrace the gift that is full-time motherhood. But there is a particular brand of resentment that comes with not having a choice in the matter of employment. Scanning the classifieds for a job in the middle of nowhere covers my whole psyche in a thin layer of depression. Finding a job that moderately fits my skill set but pays like shit is a depressing icing. Making it to the interview round of a job I didn't really want in the first place and NOT getting it is the cherry on top. Repeat ad nauseum and life feels pretty grim.
But hey, at least I'm not crying all the time! Hooray me! Way to go! I'm tops! (Go ahead, insert your praise for me here ____________________________)
And now it's time to make a choice. I'm tired. Literally, I'm exhausted from feeling so sorry for myself. So I've decided to stop waiting around for some guy to maybe see that I might be the best person for their minimum-wage position. I've decided to start a small business in the nearest legitimate city (a mere three hours away). As soon as I wrote the check for the deposit on my tiny (and WONDERFUL) office, I could feel my soul start to shine from behind its cloud. This decision is empowering and frightening and risky. And it's a perfect opportunity to reflect on my resume of rejection and finally appreciate all the practice.
Because there is a very real possibility that I will fall directly onto my face in this business venture. I might acquire zero clientele. I might lose a few thousand bucks that I didn't really have in the first place. And you know what? It's going to be okay.
So thank you, hiring official that went with the bilingual lady. Thank you, ice queen, for helping me learn my own limits of tolerance. Thank you, professor who recognized that I could do better. Thank you, little M and D, for giving me two absolutely suitable reasons for keeping well away from the workforce. Thank you, Po Bronson, for the epiphany. And thank you, Mom and Dad (and steps!) for doing the best you knew how to do. Truly. I know now that life is a spectrum, and that staying on the end that reads "you're perfect!" would be a rather boring life, indeed. Boring AND impossible.
So here I go, diving into the deep, opaque waters of the unknown. Maybe I'll swim gracefully, maybe I'll doggy paddle, but what I sure as hell won't do is drown. Even if I fail, I will. Not. Drown. I'm taking a deep breath now. And I'm jumping in.
