" Manufacturer: ELC / Type: Outdoor Play Equipment "
With the arrival of Summer (at last) it's time to sort through the outdoor toys and stock up on some simple, yet adaptable pieces. You can't get much simpler than this set of four beanbags from The Early Learning Centre, or much more adaptable as it happens. For a bargain basement price of just £4, you get four beans bags, that at 10cm by 13cm are the perfect size for little hands to hold. Each of the beanbags is made of a hard-wearing, canvas-like material filled with tiny hard beans held in place with extremely secure stitching. Before giving anything like this to my two year old, I always put it through what I call the Freddy-proof test, trying everything I can to destroy it. These beanbags have passed the test with flying colours with the stitching resisting all attempts at pulling it apart, meaning I'm happy to allow my son to play with them without worrying that he will get at the beads. Not that the beads contained within the bags would particularly cause a choking hazard, they really are tiny and are far more likely to cause a mess than any harm. The beanbags are also very light, meaning that they won't do much damage if used indoors, although I wouldn't recommend allowing your child to throw them at ornaments as they might knock them over.
With two of the beanbags being red and two being blue, these are perfect for two player games and in fact with each beanbag in each colour have a different pattern on them, they could even be used for three or four player games, as well as one child playing on their own. And there are a multitude of ways of incorporating these into both indoor and outdoor play. On a very basic level the beanbags can be used to play catch, a game my two year old adores. With the beanbags being a different shape, size and weight to a ball, catching one can be a little trickier and it really helps a child develop their catching skills using different shaped objects. While my little man can catch a football sized ball one or two times out of ten, he's not yet mastered the art of catching one of these, but still loves attempting it. He does find it easy to throw the beanbags though and really does enjoy playing target style games, where we attempt to throw the beanbags onto a target we've drawn on the path with chalk. I won't say he gets anywhere near the target, but it's great fun throwing the beanbags and even better getting claps and cheers when he succeeds.
Older children will be able to find plenty more uses for these beanbags, they are ideal for impromptu games of piggy-in-the-middle, or as the "stone" when playing hopscotch (no arguing over whose stone is whose as all four are different). They're not too bad to use when playing hand rounders either, they certainly don't sting the hand as a tennis ball can, even though they don't travel quite as far. How about learning to juggle with these, they're not the best for it, but do work. Or a competition to see who can walk the furthest/fastest balancing one on their head. I remember being taught to walk correctly by my beloved Nan, starting with balancing beanbags on my head before progressing on to books. What about seeing who can throw them the furthest pretending they are shot-puts, or seeing who can throw the most in a bucket from different distances. Or how about using them to mark out the bases for a game of rounders?
As you can see these beanbags really are versatile toys, where the only real limit is your or your child's imagination. They are incredibly well made and have easily survived a year of play with very little wear or tear. Yes they are a little scuffed from being thrown onto concrete, but there are no rips or tears. They have also got wet on occasion, and while I wouldn't actually recommend putting them through a machine wash, they dry very quickly when pegged on a washing line and so far the colour hasn't run when they've got wet (including a dunk in the paddling pool).
Personally I feel that every toddler deserves a set of these beanbags, whether they are over the recommended age of two or below it. My little man has been playing with these since he was about eighteen months and at two is now quite the professional beanbag thrower. As to an upper age limit, well I confidently state that my older children were playing with beanbags up to the age of seven, eight and above. I really can't recommend these enough, they are great for indoor or outdoor play and small and light enough to fit in a corner of a bag or suitcase for trips to the park, beach or to take on holiday. So I'm giving the ELC My First Beanbags five stars out of five as they are such a well-made, durable, simple yet versatile toy that will never age or go out of fashion.
These bean bags from the ELC were a purchase we made last year in one of their many half price sales for £2. We thought they would be a great addition to our toy box and help our son with his catching skills.
There are 4 bean bags in the set two red and two blue with a printed design on each these are all in bright colours to look appealing. The designs whilst colourful are actually not something that appeals to my son in that he doesn't have a favourite bean bag and has never made any comments on the designs on them at all so they are just an added decoration really. The bean bags are rectangular in shape approximately 10 cm by 12 cm. This I think is a nice size and one that fits nicely into small hands and is easy for them to hold with either one hand or two for throwing. The stitching on the bean bags is very sturdy and none of the bags have split at all during the time we have had them and they still look as good as new.
We have used the bean bags mainly for throwing and catching games and have found them to be really robust for this and easier than a ball for my son to catch. We have used them for throwing games into targets and bowls and buckets to help improve my sons hand eye co-ordination and he has enjoyed all of these types of games. We have also used them to help improve our balancing skills by walking with them on our heads to stand tall or walking backwards or between our shoulders as we walk in a stooped manner. Again all of this has been fun for our son we have done mini obstacle course with them for fun in the garden.
The bean bags are a great addition to any games cupboard and add a new dimension for throwing and catching games and are easier for young children to catch compared to a ball. The bean bags are nice and robust and well-made and are lasting well and I would definitely recommend them.

SALT LAKE CITY — Republican businessman and billionaire philanthropist Jon Huntsman Sr. is endorsing Utah's only Democrat in Congress.
Huntsman, in a prepared statement, called Rep. Jim Matheson a conservative Democrat who represents the state "very well" and puts the state's interests first.
Matheson, who's locked in a tight race with Republican Mia Love, says his family and the Huntsmans "have long shared the values of giving back to the community and working in a bipartisan way to solve problems and achieve progress."
According to another family member, Huntsman's son, former GOP presidential candidate and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr., has no plans to endorse any candidate this election.
But another son, Huntsman Cancer Foundation President and CEO David Huntsman, also endorsed Matheson.

Governors Taft and Perry Encourage Ohio State and Texas Supporters to also Support Hurricane Relief Efforts
One day away from the much anticipated game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Texas Longhorns, Ohio Governor Bob Taft and Texas Governor Rick Perry today encouraged fans from both states to support the American Red Cross' Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
Prior to big football games, it is customary for the Governors to engage in a friendly wager involving the wearing of team colors or the exchange of products made in each respective state. However, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, both Governors Taft and Perry thought it would be more appropriate to take this opportunity to encourage fans to do all they can to help those in need.
"The folks in the Gulf states, in many cases, are our family, our friends, our fellow citizens. This is a national disaster and I'm sure the people of Ohio and Texas will not hesitate to step up and offer whatever assistance necessary," Governor Taft said. "I congratulate the efforts of both universities for coming together and turning to their alumni, students, faculty and the millions of fans and asking that while they support their respective teams, to please support their fellow citizens who are in need."
"I am proud of how Americans have rallied to help our neighbors in need following the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina," said Texas Gov. Rick Perry. "Texas has offered a quarter million people food, water, medical care and a safe haven. And even better, we have given them hope in tomorrow. The generous outpouring has been overwhelming, and yet the need remains great. I encourage all Longhorn and Buckeye fans attending the game Saturday to make a cash contribution to continue helping our neighbors from Louisiana."
On Saturday, the two nationally ranked teams will meet on the field. Prior to the game the two schools will join in a series of public events to remind fans of how they may donate to the American Red Cross. In addition both schools will use public service announcement time during the national broadcast and during radio broadcasts to encourage donations. Ohio State will also work with the Red Cross to provide donation stations around Ohio Stadium on game day.
OSU Athletics is also donating $2 from every game day magazine sold at the four September home games to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
Gov. Perry has produced Public Service Announcements (PSA) encouraging Texans do continue giving to the Red Cross that will air during in-state college football games and on jumbotrons at Texas high school football games s

About George Andrews Exhibit
Their Maya Story: George and Gerrie Andrews tells the story of two lives dedicated to documenting Maya architecture and celebrates the Andrews' contribution to Maya studies—and to the Alexander Architectural Archive.
Amanda Keys completed this online exhibit in May 2011 as part of her Professional Experience Project for the Master of Science in Information Studies degree at the University of Texas School of Information. In addition to this exhibition, the project included processing of the Andrews' papers and photographic materials, which are housed at the Alexander Architectural Archive of the UT Libraries Architecture and Planning Library. View the George F. and Geraldine D. Andrews papers finding aid for more information about the archives.
Many thanks to Steven Williams of UT Libraries Technology Integration Services, whose expertise in programming supported the project's technical aspects, and to art history Ph.D. student Meghan Rubenstein, whose contributions as a subject specialist helped determine the exhibition's structure. Gratitude also is due to the project field supervisors, Beth Dodd and Donna Coates, and the faculty supervisor, Dr. Megan Winget, for their advice and support.
The header graphic for this exhibition was created from a photograph of the façade of Kabah's Structure 2C6 (Codz Poop), Yucatán, Mexico. The original image is included in the site slides in the Andrews papers.

TWO Saturday sailors were stranded at sea for more than six hours before rescue crews managed to bring them back to shore.
Their 11.5m yacht was stuck in Bass Strait after rough conditions damaged the vessel's steering.
Winds of more than 30 knots and waves upwards of 3.5m battered the boat this afternoon before the two aboard issued a "May Day" call about 1:30pm.
A Coast Guard crew was on the scene from about 1:45pm but conditions hampered rescue efforts.
A Victoria Police crew helped in towing the boat back to shore.
Video of Yacht currently under tow by CG171 showing rough conditions.. https://t.co/JEXxn9bgyI
— CoastGuard Melbourne (@CGMelb) April 26, 2014
Coast Guard member Jeremy West told the Herald Sun the rough waters could have capsized the yacht if it was not towed in safely.
"Without steering, it is largely dead weight at the moment," Mr West said.
The yacht and the two men on board were safely back on dry land shortly before 8pm.

So, for all the experts here (credentialed and otherwise), what was the difference
You know the difference. Think back on what America was like, really like, in the 50s, vs today.
In the 50s if some girl got pregnant, it was a disgrace. The precious few girls I knew that got pregnant, went off to live with relatives. I never saw them again in high school or otherwise.
Today, in my old high school, they actually have a day care center for children of students. Most of these students are unwed.
Now, think back at the changes in our culture, all of the changes, that have taken place. Then think of the changes that would be necessary to facilitate such gross immorality.
That's your answer. We threw God out of the schools, public squares, entertainment industry, government, and in many cases, the church.
I remember a true story about a young girl from Chicago from a fine Christian family. She left her family, left the church and left her faith and became a whore. One morning she woke up in an upper story hotel room with a man she didn't know. She got her clothes on, walked to the window, and jumped.
A police officer responded and recognized her, because he was a close friend of the family. He was crying and said he knew her. Somebody asked why she jumped. He said, "Because, when you don't have Jesus Christ all that's left to do is jump."
"I say, boy, I say, you're doing a lot of choppin', but no chips are flyin'."

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi I am here to help you honestly and with the utmost integrity.I may ask you questions back to minimize bad information. We need to check process. No there is not.
sounds like to me there may be a short behind the instrument cluster or in the steering column.
That's a pretty broad statement. I figured that already....a short / no ground somehwere. Although a short should have blown the fuse right? A faulty ground is more likely correct? Now, what I need to know is the process to track the ground/short. Readings at the tank are good. I had seen similar posts/problems on a ford forum...are you aware of this being "oh, those trucks have a history - look at the connections at..."
That was a prior issue with the elec seat and mirrors inop. in the harness, factory just did a splice and it got corroded. found that right under passanger door jamb. but it was common knowledge of problem / solution

Intriguing. That Israeli airstrike is looking more and more like a bit of pre-emptive nuclear inventory control:
Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal told the Saudi newspaper Asharq al-Awsat on Thursday that the accusations of North Korean nuclear help were a "new American spin to cover up" for Israel.
[State Dep't Non-Proliferation Guy Andrew] Semmel, who is in Italy for a meeting Saturday on the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, said Syria was certainly on the U.S. "watch list."
"There are indicators that they do have something going on there," he said. "We do know that there are a number of foreign technicians that have been in Syria. We do know that there may have been contact between Syria and some secret suppliers for nuclear equipment. Whether anything transpired remains to be seen."
"So good foreign policy, good national security policy, would suggest that we pay very close attention to that," he said. "We're watching very closely. Obviously, the Israelis were watching very closely."
Asked if the suppliers could have been North Koreans, he said: "There are North Korean people there. There's no question about that. Just as there are a lot of North Koreans in Iraq and Iran."
Asked if the so-called Khan network, which supplied nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea, could have been involved, he said he "wouldn't exclude" it.
This doesn't get talked about very much, but it's not the first time we've heard of this little courtship. From 2004:
A North Korean missile shipment to Syria was halted when a train collision in that Asian country destroyed the missile cargo and killed about a dozen Syrian technicians.
U.S. officials confirmed a report in a Japanese daily newspaper that a train explosion on April 22 killed about a dozen Syrian technicians near the Ryongchon province in North Korea. The officials said the technicians were accompanying a train car full of missile components and other equipment from a facility near the Chinese border to a North Korea port.
A U.S. official said North Korean train cargo was also believed to have contained tools for the production of ballistic missiles. North Korea has sold Syria the extended-range Scud C and Scud D missiles, according to reports by Middle East Newsline.
Exit question: If the A.Q. Khan network is still operating, what's old A.Q. Khan himself up to these days, besides being elected President of Pakistan in mock polls?
Update (AP): More details on the mystery raid from WaPo. Note the unusual level of operational secrecy.
[A] prominent U.S. expert on the Middle East, who has interviewed Israeli participants in a mysterious raid over Syria last week, reported that the attack appears to have been linked to the arrival three days earlier of a ship carrying material from North Korea labeled as cement.
The expert, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid compromising his sources, said the target of the attack appears to have been a northern Syrian facility that was labeled an agricultural research center on the Euphrates River, close to the Turkish border. Israel has kept a close eye on the facility, believing that Syria was using it to extract uranium from phosphates.
The expert said it is not clear what the ship was carrying, but the emerging consensus in Israel was that it delivered nuclear equipment. The ship arrived Sept. 3 in the Syrian port of Tartus; the attack occurred Sept. 6 under such strict operational security that the pilots flying air cover for the attack aircraft did not know details of the mission. The pilots who conducted the attack were briefed only after they were in the air, he said…
Adding to the mystery, Syria has made only muted protests about the raid, and North Korea, which rarely comments on international matters, swiftly condemned it.

Worries, tough times for many in city's west
For several hours each weekday a slow-moving narrative is played out on the manicured lawns of Garden Place.
It's here in the heart of Hamilton that office workers gather during their lunch break to eat, to socialise, and to stare longingly into their smartphones.
But the workers of Hamilton share their space with another crowd: the have-nots.Men and women who, through circumstance or choice, drift through the day unencumbered by the demands or dreams of the aspiring working class.
Hamilton Christian Night Shelter manager Peter Humphreys has seen the ranks of Hamilton's homeless steadily grow over the past three years, fuelled, in part, by a lack of budget accommodation in the city.
The shelter has space for 28 men each night and in July experienced their busiest month on record.
''It certainly feels like over the past three years the numbers of people who have very little has increased a lot,'' Humphreys said.''It's really hard to get good housing when you don't have much of an income and I think state housing and social accommodation has to be massively improved by the next Government.''
Hamilton West MP Tim Macindoe said there were ''pockets of people'' in Hamilton West who were finding times tough, but the overall outlook was improving. The economy was at the forefront of voters' minds but Macindoe said poverty was an enduring concern.
''I would strongly take issue with the suggestion homelessness or street begging was something new because it isn't. I would be concerned if anybody was required to be living that way but we have a welfare system and nobody needs to be living on the proceeds of street begging.''
Recent boundary changes have altered the shape of the Hamilton West electorate and seen it lose the rural lifestyle blocks in Te Kowhai, Lake Rotokauri and Whatawhata.The seat now takes in the Rototuna area on the east side of the Waikato River, north of Borman Road.
Macindoe said the boundary changes ''slightly favoured'' National but he was preparing for a tight tussle with Labour Hamilton West candidate Sue Moroney.
''I'm mindful of how much work that I have to do always to hold this seat. While I'm optimistic I can hold it, I'm in no way complacent.''
Moroney said many Hamilton West residents had not fared well during the past three years with the city suffering a disproportionate number of job losses.
''At a time when the dairy industry was enjoying record high payouts there have been people here who have gone through real tough times,'' Moroney said.
She was critical of the Government for not showing enough leadership around regional economic development and for the restructure of AgResearch which saw up to 180 jobs relocated from its Ruakura campus.
''I think overall there has been a growing gap between the haves and the have-nots and people just want a fair go,'' Moroney said.Hamilton West resident Murray McChesney, 67, has been an orderly at Waikato Hospital for the past 20 years.
He earns $17.60 an hour, a modest amount for a man living in the shadow of retirement.McChesney described himself as an undecided voter but believed John Key's National Government has not done enough to improve the fortunes of low-income families.
''There are a lot of families out there that don't get any Government assistance or allowance, who pay their own way and it's really hard to make ends meet,'' McChesney said. ''Both my wife and myself are on the super but if I wasn't working we'd be eating into our savings.''
Hamilton Central Business Association general manager Sandy Turner said business confidence was up among Hamilton retailers but more could be done to support business owners.One bugbear was the fact goods purchased from overseas websites did not attract GST.
''Overall businesses are feeling better but it's still not at the level where people feel comfortable. That's reflected in businesses negotiating short term leases with landlords.''
Former Labour MP Martin Gallagher said Macindoe and Moroney were regarded as ''heavy hitters'' within their parties and their respective party rankings would see them both returned to parliament.
''What will be fascinating is to what degree the party vote in Hamilton West reflects the nationwide party vote. That will tell us whether Hamilton West remains a bellwether seat.''

If you also have a node procedure it may be difficult to teach Thursday. Without the nodes being fussed with, you should be able to teach. The main problem for many is not pain, it's the anesthesia which makes some people feel a little hungover.
Can you get a local anesthesia with a little twilight sedative?

Father's Day Gift Ideas
Father's Day is Sunday, June 21 this year, or less than a month away. So, it's time to start planning ahead and picking a thoughtful and interesting gift for the dads in your life.
Of course, it's been on our minds as well and we have collected some gift ideas that are tops on our list for this Father's Day. (Yes, we have purchased many of the items ourselves with our own personal dough.)
Awesome Cufflinks
We love cufflinks, especially all the unique and customized ones we've found.
Clockwise from the top left:
* Lego Figures Cufflinks
* Secret Message Cufflinks
* Custom Silhouette Cufflinks
* Vintage Map Cufflinks
The Kindle 2.0
We've tried it and we LOVE it. The Kindle 2 not only qualifies as a splurge as a Mother's Day gift, but for dad too.
Custom Engraved Book or Technology
We featured Engrave Your Book last year (I even ordered a customized Moleskine for my husband). They specialize in translating artwork and images onto hand-crafted leather Moleskine covers and technology like iPods and Mac Computers, through their sister biz Engrave Your Tech .
This gift is so special that we wanted to make sure it wasn't forgotten, especially since they expanded their line and include reusable Moleskine covers as well.
This year we found the iWood which is a maker of wooden covers for the iPod, iPhone and iTouch. This is every shade of awesome as you can add a monogram or personal message via engraving.
Matching Sets of Clothes
We're not into matchy-matchy, particularly when it comes to moms and their daughters or twins, for that matter. But, fathers and sons in identical swim trunks or board shorts look awfully cute.
Almost the entire of Vilebrequin's collection is available in adult and junior sizes, starting as young as six months. However, the adorable doesn't come cheap. Though having bought matching swim trunks for my husband, father and son, I can attest first-hand that the quality is superior.
Now that J.Crew has a junior line with CrewCuts, you can pair father & son board shorts or swim trunks at slightly better prices.
Also, these matching father and son t-shirts are darling.
Best TV Shows on DVD
The past ten years of television have been amazing and I don't know any father who wouldn't love a complete series of a television show that he always wanted to, but didn't have time to watch. Here are some suggestions: The Shield, Mad Men, Dexter, The Wire and Battlestar Galactica. Picking just one is difficult, so we'll leave it up to you since you know your loved ones best!

Earth Weave Natural Fiber Non-Toxic Wool Carpet & Area Rugs
This is a carpet unlike any other produced in North America. It is chemical-free, biodegradable, and the raw materials used in its production are 100% natural and renewable.
Benefits of Wool
Wool fibers are elastic, and when crushed or stretched, their resilience enables them to spring back to their original shape, unlike synthetics that pill and wear in high-traffic areas and matte down beneath furniture. In addition, the scales on wool fibers hold onto dirt until it is vacuumed away, which helps the carpet stay cleaner. And wool fibers absorb airborne pollutants, so wool carpeting can actually help clean the air in your home! Plus wool is fire retardant, so no flame-proofing chemicals are needed.
These elements make Earth Weave's carpet and area rugs beautiful, durable and comfortable, as well as supportive of healthy indoor air quality and the environment. The product is available as broadloom (wall-to-wall) carpeting and as area rugs. Earth Weave's Enertia™wool padding and natural rubber rug grippers are available as non-toxic underlayment for your beautiful new carpet and rugs.
Sustainability / Recycling / Composting
We chose to represent Earth Weave not only because their products are wonderful and healthy, but also because they are committed to 100% sustainable resource floor coverings. They do not manufacture from non-renewable resources, including the "recycled pop bottle" products gaining popularity today. For although these recycled products are marketed as environmentally friendly, virtually all consumer floor coverings end up in a landfill after use. Earth Weave carpet is biodegradable, and unlike floor coverings made from petrochemical-based products like recycled plastic bottles, it can be composted at the end of its useful life and returned to the earth to feed plants and trees.
Please consider recycling your old synthetic carpet, or composting if it's made of a natural fiber. 3½ to 4 billion pounds of carpet is discarded every year, which accounts for 2% of all solid waste by volume. Two percent may not seem like a large amount, but since carpets are just one among many thousands of waste products that end up in landfills it represents a huge problem. Some recyclers accept used nylon carpeting; and depending on the fiber and condition some will pick-up and/or recycle it at no charge. Please see https://carpetrecovery.org/recovery-effort/collector-finder-map/ to find a recycler near you or try searching your local and state websites. To find a composter for your old natural fiber carpeting, see the national database of commercial composters at http://www.findacomposter.com.

Why Natural Fiber Carpeting?
Asthma, allergies, multiple chemical sensitivities and environmental illness are on the rise, as people—both young and old—are exposed to low levels of toxic chemicals in their homes, schools, and work places. Health complaints associated with synthetic carpets and carpets made with chemical adhesives include serious neurological, central nervous system and respiratory problems.
Two pounds of styrene butadiene latex adhesive—a highly reactive compound—is applied to each square yard of most carpets. Other toxic chemicals found in conventional floor coverings include polypropylene, urethane, synthetic rubber, synthetic dyes, stain repellents, antistatic chemicals, antimicrobials, and pesticides. Most of these chemicals off-gas into the air. Avoiding these airborne toxins is important for everyone concerned with health, and especially families with children who crawl and play on the floor.

The Earth Weave Commitment
Earth Weave Carpet Mills, Inc. is in business to manufacture and promote renewable resource floor covering products for the 21st Century. Their commitment lies not in recycling petrochemical products, but rather in taking advantage of the ultimate manufacturer; Mother Nature, and her renewable natural resources.
Using Mother Nature's vast renewable resources, Earth Weave manufactures innovative, high quality floor coverings for both residential and light commercial applications.

Listen to interview with James Stinnett, founder of Earth Weave, on Debra Lynn Dadd's Toxic Free Talk Radio (6/30/14).
See carpet photos above for styles, colors and prices. See below for Earth Weave's natural rubber grippers that provide the perfect non-toxic underlayment for these amazing rugs.

I purchased a Crate & Barrel
rug and several rugs from Pottery Barn. I returned
them all due to the smell. At Crate & Barrel they
told me that the odor was probably moth spray applied
for the trip from Asia...it was awful. Pottery Barn
told me that 5-10% of their rugs are returned because
of off-gassing. So every time I see my new Earth Weave
rug I smile because it looks so nice, feels so good,
and doesn't smell! —Kathleen
R., California
100% Natural Rubber Rug
Enhance your area rug's comfort and performance with Earth Weave's durable, all natural rubber gripper. This 100% natural rubber pad will provide a safe, non-skid foundation for your area rugs.
Unlike synthetic rubber made from petroleum, natural rubber is an excellent environmental choice. It is a renewable resource, originating in South America from natural latex which is tapped from the Hevea Brasiliensis—commonly known as a rubber tree. The rubber gripper material is made in the USA. There are no toxic substances or ozone-depleting agents used in manufacturing it, and rubber plantations help combat the greenhouse effect.
I must tell you how happy I am with the rug grippers. I took them out of the package and laid them under my rugs and there was no toxic smell. I've been looking for these for a long time. —Shelley J., Arlington, VA
The pad will not stain any type of floor, and can be easily cut with scissors to custom-fit any size rug. Average thickness is 1/8 inch. Standard sizes range from 2X3 to 10X14, see below for prices and shipping to the continental USA. Contact us for custom sizes and shipping costs to other areas. NOTE: Individuals who are sensitive to natural rubber or latex should contact us for a sample before ordering.

Cleaning Guidelines
As with all quality natural fiber carpets, vacuuming Earth Weave carpet and area rugs with a suction-only vacuum cleaner is recommended. Beater bar vacuum cleaners may damage the surface pile of this product. Proper vacuuming on a regular basis will improve performance, however Dyson vacuums are not recommended, as their suction is too great. Use only wool approved cleaners for removing stains. Do not vigorously rub the affected area; blot instead with a clean rag. If stain persists, contact a professional cleaner and be sure they use cleaning products designed for wool and natural fibers. Host carpet cleaning products are recommended by Earth Weave. Host makes do-it-yourself products, and also has a nationwide network of carpet cleaners who use their professional system.
Specifications, Warranty, Returns
Earth Weave carpeting meets or exceeds the Methenamine Pill Test flammability requirements for carpets and area rugs. Due to the natural fiber content, specifications are subject to nominal manufacturing variances. Supply or manufacturing changes may facilitate product changes without notice. Please contact Earth Weave Carpet Mills, Inc. to verify specifications. Yarn lot variances occur in natural fiber carpets; therefore, actual merchandise is not guaranteed to match samples. Natural fiber carpets vary in texture and color. Slight variances in texture and color are normal and do not constitute a manufacturing defect. This product carries a manufacturing defect warranty and is guaranteed to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 5 years. Matting, crushing, soiling, staining, or any other changes in appearance are not considered manufacturing defects and are excluded from this warranty. No warranty is made as to individual reactions, physical or otherwise, regarding this carpet and its effects. As this is a natural product, we do not warrant for any smells or odors. Individuals who are sensitive to animal fibers or the smell of wool, natural rubber, hemp, cotton or jute should contact us for a product sample before ordering. Because many customers are chemically sensitive, Earth Weave does not accept returns once a package has been opened because this exposes the product to a foreign environment over which they have no control. They accept no returns on cut carpeting and custom rugs. Please note that all wool carpet and rugs shed fibers, especially when new; the Catskill style sheds more than other styles and this is not considered a manufacturing defect.

Found a site that has info on Saiga 12 ga. as well as many other Rssain weapons. Go to www.Guns.ru for photos etc. BTW the short barrel is cool looking.
February 7, 1999, 12:45 PM
Yes, the short barrel is the way to go! Did you watch the little video of exploding melons? I've got to try that.
Strangely, when I "back buttoned" my way to TFL, your post was written in the same font as the Saiga page. Hmmm...who's in control here...?

DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man who has been with my partner for 31 years. I have a female friend, "Josie," whom I have known for years. She holds an executive position at the local bank and must attend many fundraisers. I have been her escort to many of them. Josie knows and likes my partner, and he has never had a problem with my going to these social events with her.
Recently, Josie became engaged, and she is now married. I was invited to the wedding, but my partner was not included on the invitation. I chose not to attend because of it, and have not heard from her since. It has been almost four months.
Josie's husband is a retired military man. I suspect she would rather not let him know about having a gay-male couple as friends. Should I confront her or just end the friendship?
– Don't Ask or Tell in Albuquerque
DEAR D.A.O.T.: Have a chat with Josie, lay your cards on the table and let her do the same. If it's true that she's hiding her "past" and that her husband is a narrow-minded homophobe, then you're certainly within your rights to move on. But give her a chance to explain.
DEAR ABBY: I am a 75-year-old man, and the past two years have been amazing. I met a woman with whom I had graduated from high school. She was also widowed after having been married 50 years. I knew her family back then, but we were just friends.
We are both in good health and enjoy being companions, going to movies, dancing, concerts, etc. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that we would be anything but pals – but fate has a way of changing things. We have fallen in love.
After the life experiences of working, raising a family, losing a spouse and being alone for a few years, love this time around is so much different. She loved her husband and I loved my wife, but at this stage of life we have come to appreciate even more deeply the magic of love.
We feel privileged to have this gift. We are young once again. Even our children say we are like two teenagers. Someone once wrote, "Love is a many-splendored thing." Those words are true indeed.
– Charles in Michigan
DEAR CHARLES: Some people believe that Cupid's arrow can strike only the young, but your letter shows mature love can be like fine wine in that its fullness and depth improve with age. Congratulations to both of you. I hope you enjoy many more years of happiness together.
DEAR ABBY: What do you answer when someone says, "You look tired"? I seem to get this a lot lately, and I know it's because I'm looking older. People may be showing concern, but don't you think it's a little bit of a downer?– Older, Not Tired
DEAR NOT TIRED: Not only is it a downer, it's also rude. When someone makes that comment, simply reply: "But I'm not tired. I sleep very well, thank you." Then watch the person try to remove foot from mouth.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
My wife is active duty army, and has been stationed away from home for over a year now. She works at a post that is over 4 hours away. She is able to come home on the weekends. I am resentful. I wanted her to get out of the army a long time ago. I make more than enough to support our family. She also has expensive tastes. She wanted to buy the lot next door, and we did over my hesitance. Now I mow the lot she wanted, but we get no use out of it. We also have a boat and a cabin that she wanted that I did not want. I have the kids by myself during the week. I am on welbutrin, and it has helped with my energy level, but I am still mad all the time. She knows how I feel and feels bad about it. But, she still wants things that I don't want that would take up my time. She wants the kids to have a pool during the summer, but I don't have enough time to keep up with the house and yard and kids we do have. I am always angry and stressed. Do I need medication or counseling or something else?
Hello, I am available to assist you.
You have a lot on your plate, must be overwhelmed, and your resentment is understandable.
You state that you have not, and do not agree with her decisions/requests for "things", do you go ahead with it to avoid a major conflict?
It can be hard to say no- such as with the kids and the pool issue.
However, this may be a good time to practice "no". You have too much on your plate, like you said, to add this to your list. There can be other options to cool off in the summer such as a lake, pool, something you can all do on the weekend as a family!
It is important to set some boundaries on this- that it's ok to say "no", with conviction, telling her you just can no do it any longer- running and fulfilling her demands- not small requests either. This is eating you up- it's no wonder you are angry- something has to give.
If you struggle on your own setting these boundaries and sticking to "no", yes a counselor can help you with that, help you learn skills to be more assertive, and to better manage the stress, and feelings of resentment. In order for a change to happen, some sort of change needs to happen, and that may need to come from you.
It sounds like this resentment goes back to you wanting her to get out of the army too. You likely had different ideas of what a "family" would look like, and how things would function. When in a marriage, as a couple, there is usually more clear and equal division of work. It sounds like the most part it's on your shoulders. It is okay to say no- you may get resistance in response- be prepared for that.
The lot next door for what, you must ask yourself?? A lot that requires you to do the upkeep.
I'm sorry for your struggle- something has to give.
She wants things you do not want, that take up your time, what prevents you from saying no?
Sure medication and counseling can help- but I'm hearing loud and clear- you do not agree with requests she's made, but have, at the cost of your mental and physical well being, agreed to it anyway. You agreeing, is going against the grain of what you want, but it sounds like you have had trouble getting an equal vote on these things. When we do not "listen" to our gut, and better judgment, that "shows it's self" in anger, resentment, stress, unhappiness...for sure!!
Having an outlet to express your emotions can really help too- such as a counselor. A counselor can support and assist you in identifying, and working through some of these emotions, and guide you to establishing more boundaries in the marriage.
It's unfair to you that she knows how you feel, feels bad about it, but continues to "want things". You are not feeling listened to nor validated- that can lead to big resentment.
Please let me know if you have additional questions or comments. You are in a tough spot right now, but it is clear something absolutely has to change. If you continue to have trouble getting that "equal vote", yes please do consider counseling.

Olly Murs' Dance With Me Tonight finally tops UK singles chart
Olly Murs has finally reached number one in the charts with his latest single Dance With Me Tonight, a fortnight after the track debuted at number two.
The song had previously been kept from the top spot by Rihanna 's We Found Love as well as The X Factor finalists' charity single Wishing On A Star, which entered the charts at number one last week.
That song fell to number two while Rihanna's single, a collaboration with Calvin Harris , dropped to four.
The highest new entry came from American singer Lloyd, who debuted at number three with his latest effort Dedication To My Ex (Miss That), while rapper T-Pain's track 5 O'Clock was the only other newcomer in the top ten at number six.
Dance With Me Tonight is Olly Murs' third number one single following Please Don't Let Me Go and Heart Skips a Beat.
However he didn't have quite so much luck in the album charts, with his latest release In Case You Didn't Know ousted from the top spot by the posthumous Amy Winehouse album Lioness: Hidden Treasures.
The album, which is his second, went straight in at number one last Sunday.

A supermarket giant has put forward revised plans for its proposed store in Silverhill.
Asda wants to build a 38,000 sq ft store on the former Marshall Tufflex Ponswood site which it says will create up to 350 new jobs.
The supermarket operator had hoped for a decision on its proposals before Christmas, but was asked to change its plans by Hastings Borough Council last November and to re-position the store closer to the main street.
Many Silverhill residents voiced opposition to the original plans and made their feelings clear at an exhibition hosted by Asda in May last year.
They fear the 30 million development will increase traffic congestion and cause environmental damage around London Road, Bohemia Road and surrounding streets.
Tom McGarry, Asda's property communications manager, said: "Planning officers considered our original proposals and felt that bringing the store to the front, with its entrance closer to the main street in Sedlescombe Road South and Battle Road, would bring greater linkage and spin-off trade benefits to existing shops and services in the centre.
"We have changed the location of the store on the site to enhance the opportunities for linked trips between our store and existing local traders.
"The construction of a shoppers' car park in Silverhill will benefit the whole centre and the creation of jobs during this recession will give a boost to the local economy.
"Our arrival in Hastings would provide a competitive offer and a genuine shopping choice for local people. Recent independent polling has shown that the clear majority of local people support our proposals and would welcome the jobs, great value and regeneration our 30 million investment would bring to Silverhill."
Asda said it has committed itself to enter into a local employment partnership with JobCentre Plus, involving the recruitment and training of Hastings jobseekers who have found it difficult to gain employment if the plans get the go-ahead.
The firm has updated its website to provide easy access to information on the plans. They can be viewed at www.asda-hastings.co.uk.

The Duggars are trying to conceive their 20th child now, how do you feel?
After suffering a devastating miscarriage in December 2011,Michelle Duggar is trying to get pregnant again with her 20th child. The 19 Kids and Counting reality TV mom says she and husband Jim Bob Duggar are hoping to be "blessed" with another pregnancy.
"I would hope, but we are not expecting right now," Michelle, 47, shares in a new interview with Celebrity Baby Scoop. "I would be so grateful if the Lord blessed us with another one. We're trying at this point and we shall see if that is a possibility. If not, we are so thankful and grateful for the ones that God has given us so far. We are also definitely enjoying our grandbabies! They are so precious!"
*** My thoughts are not nice. I hate the Duggars, this is gross to think about to me. Fucking sickos.
I think the ratings are dropping and they need a wedding or a new baby to keep them up.....
It is called 19 kids and counting, not 19 kids and menopause
She's 47! She's probably done. They are also thinking about adopting. I don't care how many they have. THey are a great family, the kids are well-behaved, hard working people, and they aren't being raised on my tax dollars. So who cares how many they have, by birht or by adoption?
Their kids, they take care of them, their business. I don't see it as a huge deal. People have babies at a later age all of the time and no one attacks them and calls them a sicko or gross. Yes, she has had two miscarriages, but two miscarriages with nineteen live births isn't bad at all, should no one ever have kids if they have had a miscarriage?
I have not nice thoughts about this one.
I hope she doesn't get pregnant...her body is obviously tired. I would hate to see another baby go through what Josie went through, being born a preemie and fighting for her life, for months.
They need to enjoy the children they have and enjoy the grandchildren they will have.
Honestly I think her body is trying to tell her something. First with Josie nearly dying and then the 19 week miscarriage. Wake up crazy, you're done. You have 19 kids. Be happy.
None of my business how many children they have. They aren't asking me for any money to raise them
hell, if they got the money to afford it all then what the hell. its not anyone elses business what they do unless of course they go on goverment aid...that may be an issue then. but whatever, he takes care of his kids. she homeschools and takes care of them, isnt that enough? leave them alone. they are doing nothing wrong, nit your life, not your problem let them be

Don't you think all that wood is going to get "Punky"?
"Oh, you work for the Bangor Fire Department . . . do you know Harold Small? He's my great grandfather who worked there back in the 1960s?"
Answer: "No. Most everyone who was working in the 1960s is retired or dead."
"Oh, you work for the Bangor Fire Department . . . do you know William Henforth? I think he is a volunteer firefighter with the East Witopitlock Fire Department."
Answer: "You do realize that I said I'm with the Bangor Fire Department, right?"
"Are you a cop?
Answer: "Do you see a gun, Taser or donut?"
eh...Im in retail......
1. "are you busy...?"
2. "is that all you....?" (ok, joking)
I get that often if someone sees me in uniform. Oh... my grandson is in the Army/Air Force/Coast Guard/Marines etc at such and such place... you must know him?
I don't even know all the people in my OWN unit (about 350 people).
how about a classic..
"are you done yet?"
Why do you burn wood to heat ? I thought you liked the outdoors !
I used to work at MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration) in the title department. Wish I had a nickle for every clown that said."Can you get my tickets fixed?"
Answer was always" "No, but I can see to it that the police get your records.."
Now I work for the State Mental Hospital (this was an absolutely logical career move, IMO). The question now is, "Do you know if ____________ was ever there?"
Answer: "No, but there was a person with the same name and address as you."
(It's -20F with a 20 MPH wind.)
Cold out. Ain't it?
Whas up ??
Especially when my stoned neighbor calls ME and I answer the phone to hear "Hey, what's up" then silence. Obviously the question he called about is too complicated to ask.
"Sir have you been drinking tonight"?
Best one I ever heard, and I heard it repeatedly as a program salesman at the CNE: "Where is the air show?"
I love open doors
About my dogs. I actually gave DH a t shirt with this on it because these same questions come up every 5 minutes or so when we're out in public.
Yes, it's a dog. (What is that?)
Yes, it sheds. (Do they shed?)
No, it's not a black Saint Bernard. (I had a St Bernard as a kid, black, looked just like that.)
No, I don't have a saddle for it. (Do you have a saddle?)
Yes, it's a house dog. (It doesn't live inside does it?)
No, I don't have a huge house. (Do you have a huge house?)
Yes, you may pet it. (Can I pet your dog?)
No, it does not eat that much. (Do they eat a lot?)
Yes, that's drool. (What's this?)
Fun thread!

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Penis shrinking
I am currently seeing a man that has been widowed for several years, he has diabetes type 2, he takes medication for high blood pressure and medication to control his diabetes. He tells me he can not get an erection and has not been able to for some time. He also told me that his penis is shrinking. He has not had much in the way of sexual encounters since the lose of his wife, can lack of sex cause the penis to shrink and could Viagra help him. Or, is all the medication taking it`s toll and causing the problems?
The "shrinking penis" is real. It happens when the penis is not working well. It is like any body part that does not function for a long -time. Viagra may help. It is worth a try. Of course, we assume that he is a good candidate for viagra. You should always check with a primary care doctor or a cardiologist first to make sure he is not taking any nitroglycerin and that his heart is ok for sexual activity. Best of luck.

Welcome to February!!
GRADUATES, please click here to visit a thread for sharing the method that got your BFP.
Taking a Break/Figuring Things Out/Waiting to be Ready
2013 Graduates!
January * esenbee2 * LindseyW * Sphinxy
February *granite
October * cordelia15 * pokeyAC * easttowest * erinTNgirl * outdoorsy
Hey All! A new month, a new roller coaster ride!! I'm so excited for all the beautiful families we are going to start this month!
Send me a link to your chart, if you are charting online, and I will (try) to embed it into the front page so we can all follow your progress to that BFP!
Scorp: oh no for a temp drop. :( I'm still hopeful for you!! AF better stay away!
Soto: Welcome back and how exciting for the trigger and soon IUI! Fx for you!
Darcy: as for money, we saved for long time and we do not have much more in savings than what you also originally budgeted for ttc. My mom has offered to help out, but we haven't taken her up on that yet. We have also cut some extras out of our budget just make sure we have enough, but if we do we blow through savings we will probably have some issues. I could potentially borrow from my 401k, but I'd rather it not come to that.
Afm, I got a nice clear bfn this morning on a dollar store htp, so yay! The trigger is out of my system! 9 days past trigger and 7 dpiui. Anything from here on out is legit.
twomommys thanks & good news about it being out of your system.
darcy we have a little bit in savings & the wife just got a good bonus so using that. We're hoping to move houses this year & use a bit of the money we're going to make from one of our properties to cover any shortfall. Let's hope there's not too much!
question for all - was blood type/cmv status an issue when choosing a donor?
Here is my chart. http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/scorpioma/
Thanks for the shiny new thread, twomommy!
Scorpio - Just remember that we're all pulling for you.
thanks, easttowest. tough times, here!
just waiting ..
Scorp: I think embedding the chart worked. Just click "check my chart" next to your name in the first post.
Anyone else want me to do this for them?
Also, Scorp, I did check your chart.
FX for ya scorp!
thanks twomommy. pretty much looks like I'm out, right?
I mean, I am grasping at the wind here, but I think there are a few charts out there where it drops this late and then rises again, however not very often.
Scorpioma, I truly believe that it is never over till AF makes her unfortunate appearance, regardless of the chart. Perhaps you didn't get the solid 4 hours sleep before temping.
Hi Everyone,
Happy (almost) February! May we all be gone from this thread by March.
Scorpioma: I'm sorry about the temp drop, but it is just one temp, and there are all sorts of reasons that one temp can be wacky. I still have my fingers firmly crossed for you! (and for having to wait to know. Waiting is so hard.)
Lizbian: I think that you only have to pay attention to blood type if you are Rh negative. I feel like we didn't worry about CMV, but I can't remember why. Here is what my bank says about that. Your plan of three vials sounds great!
Twomommyfamily: Hooray for testing out of the trigger! Now we can hope that you see another bfp soon.
Lea: I like your attitude about putting it in the fridge. If you can't use it all initially, it makes perfect sense. I wonder if the sperms can actually survive in the fridge!
KWPX: You have an amazing luteal phase! I'm impressed. I have my fingers crossed that you're experiencing late implantation cramps!
Sotohana: It's exciting that you get to insem again tomorrow. I'm glad that your DP can be there for it. I hope it goes smoothly!
Darcy: I'm sorry about AF and cramps. How did the u/s go? Did you end up with clomid? The financial piece is hard. $600 per vial plus $500 per IUI (for us) is a lot, and that is just for one insem per cycle and doesn't include shipping or storage fees. We did save up some, and we also are purposely keeping our expenses low in other areas, but it still feels like a lot.
AFM: It was quite discouraging last night to get the progesterone result indicating that my wife hadn't even ovulated, but we're making a plan and moving on. I think we had both been sort of hoping that since TTC#1 had been fairly tricky for us we would somehow luck out and get an easy round of TTC#2. And while we still could get lucky soon, her not ovulating after getting a positive opk makes it seem like maybe timing is going to be more challenging than we had hoped. We're starting her on vitex today, and she is going to see her chiropractor tonight, and we're restarting fertility tea, and we're still thinking about what else we want to add. Our RE isn't available for a phone consultation until next Wednesday, but maybe that is just as well since it gives us a chance to figure out what we want to do before we talk to her. We really don't want twins, so we would like to avoid most fertility meds, but that means we have to figure out an alternative.
Escher, is your DW still nursing?
pretty sure I just got AF.
looks like it was a chemical pregnancy, due to the faint BFPs.
called nurse today, but since it's so early I suppose it will be like a regular period.
feeling pretty bad, but DP is very supportive and loving. we'll make it through. going to evaluate and see if we will be trying next month. only have so much emotional capital, even if we do have a KD.
thanks everyone for your support. really sorry for the roller coaster the past few days. I hate to drag everyone up and down. this process is hard for us all to many degrees, I know.
1. Really happy that at least we DID conceive, means good things going forward
2. I am actually really glad to finally know, even though I have a broken heart! at least the waiting and uncertainty is over...time to get my nails done.
3. good luck to you in TWW! we all are doing great...
scorp sorry to hear that but really happy you have such a supportive DP as that really does make all the difference. I wouldn't blame you for having a month off but sure you'll both decide to do whatever's best for you.
Scorp, I'm so sorry . I know you can make it through this and thank goodness for your loving and supportive DP. Everyone here continues to be pulling for you, that bfp will stick soon. I'm glad that you are thinking about fun things like getting your nails done. My DP and I already plan to hit the spa and lay in the sauna then sit in a jacuzzi if/when I get my bfn. And drink some coffee. And a glass or two of wine.
I went ahead and moved you to Waiting to O. Let me know if you would rather be in Taking a Break.
I am truly sorry, although I think it's great information to know moving forward. We didn't experience a chemical pregnancy, so I feel like a jerk telling you to see the positive, but at least you know you CAN get pregnant, and if you ever do end up needing to see a doctor, that is excellent to be able to point to. Usually a chemical pregnancy is an egg that fertilized but didn't stay implanted because of a chromosomal problem - so while it's impossibly difficult to see it this way, it's good to know your body is doing what it is supposed to be doing. Your KD's sperm can fertilize your eggs, and you only want a healthy embryo to implant. Since you have a pretty long LP, I wouldn't think it's anything wrong with your ability to support an embryo, although if this happens multiple times, that's something to look at. I hope you have a peaceful month, deciding whether or not to take a break. What a huge build up and let down this must feel like, and if it is very difficult to deal with, it might be good to consider not temping or testing early next time.
So sorry, Scorpio! I really think your timing and stuff this month was spectacular and your KD situation seems like a ticket to success soon! xo
Darcy, Sorry to hear about AF, I hate when she rears her ugly head! Hopefully the clomid will help. With us I shopped around to cut the costs of the swimmers (first order was 895, second was 515, and if all goes well the next one will be around 400 with shipping and all). I also found Freedom Fertility Pharmacy to get the trigger from (it was 210 for meeh at walgreens bc insurance doesn't cover, but freedom has the same RX for 75 with free shipping). Thats knocked costs, and I just found out that mye secondary insurance completely covers mye follie scans, so next cycle total cost should be around 650 (if we do and IUI at the OB's) or 490 (if we do at home insems). IVF is pretty pricey I know, I've looked into it. There was a clinical trial for IVF vs. Mini IVF in NY and you get free IVF, but I'm so far away from there. Thats also an option. There are women currently in the study that are pregnant and due this summer. Seems like they enroll a few more every other month or so. Hope things get better for you!
Scorp, Thanks i'm hanging in there, and trying to keep stress levels as low as possible! I'm so sorry to hear. I was rooting for you so hard. No need for apologies because I don't mind being on any emotional rollercoaster with you. Just here to support.
Soto, You know, I share that feeling of insanity with you, and funny enough its been the last few weeks as well. Needless to say I'm dying to get back into meditation to de-stress. I hate dealing with insurance with the yes then no then yes then no again. Atleast your RE is willing to help! I sure hope your insem goes super smooth and glad DP will be there with you!
KWPX2, its still not over. AF isn't here so there is still time. I've got hope for you!
Twomommy, yay for the trigger gone...next BFP is FER SHUR! I'm so excited for you! Oh heres mye link http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/fee2806
Lizbian, As far as blood type, it wasn't a major issue as I'm O+, but I did try to get the CMV status to be compatible with meeh.
Escher, sorry that things are going a bit difficult for you now. Atleast you've got time to figure things out and see what path you want to travel. You've got a pretty good plan with your natural supplements as opposed to the fertility meds. I hope it works out for you though.
AFM, contemplating a lot just lately. Mye mind is full of swirling thoughts about everything. Thinking some deep meditation is in store later. Oh yea..still temping nd tea'ing it up.
Aw Scorp! We are so sorry to hear this news. This just sucks! It makes my heart sad for you and your DP. What super troopers couples are who go through this month after month trying, supporting, loving, and hoping. I just don't know what words can come as comfort to you. Easttowest laid out some very good facts which I will hold on to if this happens to me. Intellectually it seems like a good place to get a hold of things...where to get a hold of the emotional side? Thank goodness for your supportive DP I hope you are getting some serious love and hugs there. I will wish you two a little hot tubbing, bourbon, coffee and charcuterie while you figure things out. (Unless you're vegan... then no charcuterie ) Sending you our love...
thanks again guys!
easttowest, you are the best! I am going to try to keep that in mind. we are doing everything right! xoxo
kwpx2, thanks! good luck to you in the coming days, really rooting for your BFP!!
You are so right, partners are amazing and important (for those of us ttc with a partner).
Jonah is my rock! Such a good Capricorn, he is!
this group is so ridiculously awesome, you know that, right guys?
Sarah, I am so so sorry.
Sarah, so sorry to hear the disappointing news. You have a great attitude about it -- noting that it has shown that KDs sperm can fertilize your egg. It must be so upsetting though.
SanDiego (response to a question you asked on the January thread that I just read tonight), I just popped on to tell you the story of my brother's conception in case it is helpful. My mom had tried for 3.5 yrs and had a dozen (or more) chemical pregnancies. Her doc suggested they test her hormones the next time she got pregnant (I think she waited a long time before seeing a doc). She went to the doc weeks later and said "I know I'm pregnant, can you test my hormones" he said they could not test the hormones until they proved that she was actually pregnant but this was back in the days when a pregnancy test took days to come back. My mom said that she was absolutely sure that she would lose the pregnancy if they waited that long but the dr insisted. When the nurse came in to draw her blood, my mom cried to her and explained the situation. The nurse ordered the hormone test on the lab form (against the dr's orders). The dr's office called 2 days later and told my mom to drop whatever she was doing and come to the office IMMEDIATELY because she was pregnant but had incredibly low progesterone. When she got there, they gave her an injection of progesterone. She went for an injection every single day for the first trimester and carried my brother to full term with no other complications. He is 31 yrs old now. My mom had conceived me (the oldest) without any trouble but she had barely stopped taking her birth control pill so she thinks that might have actually helped her to carry the pregnancy.
I really think you've proven that your timing is perfect and that your DP can get pregnant very easily. It seems like once you take care of the progesterone piece you'll have everything you need to make a healthy baby. (Just my opinion though and I don't know much about these things).
Morning All,
Quick note before I leave for work. BFN again this am. Im still feeling ok about it. My temp remains on the up side and I had some more weird smelling instances this morning. The best thing however is that my dad called a left a very cute and excited message last night asking if he was going to be a grandpa yet! He seems very excited about all this as well. It warmed my heart a little more! Wishing everyone a very happy Friday!
Scorpio: I'm sorry. Chemicals can be so disappointing. It's great that you know you got the timing right, but I know that may not feel like much consolation right now.
KWPX2: I'm sorry about the bfn. How many dpo are you now?
Lindsey: That's quite a story! I'm glad that these days we don't usually have to take progesterone by injection.
Carmen: Thanks for thinking of that. My DW isn't nursing (I carried our son and am still nursing him). But I wish her wacky cycles had some clear explanation like that!
Happy Friday to everyone here!
Sorry for your loss, scorp
If it's any consolation prize you are often more fertile following an early loss....next cycle!?

Oops, I should have known that, sorry!!
kwpx2, FX!!!
carmen, thanks a bunch. lisedea told me that, about the fertile cycles post-chemical... I never knew that! so cool!
Scorp: So sorry, I really had a feeling this was your month
KWPX: Fingers still crossed!
Escher: I think you mentioned you used the clearblue fertility monitor? I just started using it this month and got high fertility days from like day 5 to today (day 16) when it changed to peak. Did yours do this?
Good luck and baby dust to everyone!
Scorp - sorry to hear, we're all here for you! I've been though 2 similar situations as you all know. Things will get better, and we all will have success this year!
Pokey, thanks for your info, DW is now taking herbs prescribed by our acupuncturist (who specializes in fertility), she is also eating more protein, nutrition powders & superfoods/greens...and folic acid. I'll talk to her, perhaps we'll mix in the other items you mentioned, thanks again for your thoughts. I hope you're feeling great.
