Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of all or part of your digestive tract. IBD primarily includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. IBD can be painful and debilitating, and sometimes leads to life-threatening complications.
Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes long-lasting inflammation in part of your digestive tract. Symptoms usually develop over time, rather than suddenly. Ulcerative colitis usually affects only the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. It occurs only through continuous stretches of your colon.
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation anywhere along the lining of your digestive tract, and often spreads deep into affected tissues. This can lead to abdominal pain, severe diarrhea and even malnutrition. The inflammation caused by Crohn's disease can involve different areas of the digestive tract in different people.
Collagenous colitis (kuh-LAJ-uh-nus) and lymphocytic colitis also are considered inflammatory bowel diseases, but are usually regarded separately from classic inflammatory bowel disease.
Inflammatory bowel disease symptoms vary, depending on the severity of inflammation and where it occurs.
Ulcerative colitis is classified according to its signs and symptoms:
The course of ulcerative colitis varies, with periods of acute illness often alternating with periods of remission. Most people with a milder condition, such as ulcerative proctitis, won't go on to develop more-severe signs and symptoms.
Inflammation of Crohn's disease may involve different parts of the digestive tract in different people. The most common areas affected by Crohn's disease are the last part of the small intestine called the ileum and the colon. Inflammation may be confined to the bowel wall, which can lead to scarring (stenosis), or inflammation may spread through the bowel wall (fistula).
Signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease can range from mild to severe and may develop gradually or come on suddenly, without warning. Signs and symptoms may include:
People with severe Crohn's disease may also experience:
See your doctor if you experience a persistent change in your bowel habits or if you have any of the signs and symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. Although inflammatory bowel disease usually isn't fatal, it's a serious disease that, in some cases, may cause life-threatening complications.
No one is quite sure what triggers inflammatory bowel disease, but there's a consensus as to what doesn't. Researchers no longer believe that diet and stress are main causes, although stress can often aggravate symptoms. Instead, current thinking focuses on the:
Inflammatory bowel disease affects about the same number of women and men. Risk factors may include:
Isotretinoin use. Isotretinoin is a medication sometimes used to treat scarring cystic acne or acne that doesn't respond to other treatments. It used to be sold under the brand name Accutane, but that brand has been discontinued, and it's now sold under the brand names Amnesteem, Claravis and Sotret.
There is conflicting information as to whether isotretinoin use can increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. Some studies have suggested a possible link, while other studies have found no such evidence. The question of whether or not there is a link is further complicated by research that suggests a possible connection between the use of tetracycline class antibiotics and the development of IBD. Many people who have been treated with isotretinoin for acne also have received tetracyclines as part of their acne therapy. Studies that have examined the possible link between isotretinoin and IBD have not addressed the question of whether antibiotics used for acne may have played a role in increasing risk.
Inflammatory bowel disease may lead to one or more of the following complications:
Symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease may first prompt a visit to your family doctor or general practitioner. However, you may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in treating digestive disorders (gastroenterologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of information to discuss, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions beforehand may help you make the most of your visit. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For inflammatory bowel disease, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Your doctor will likely diagnose inflammatory bowel disease only after ruling out other possible causes for your signs and symptoms, including ischemic colitis, infection, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diverticulitis and colon cancer. To help confirm a diagnosis of IBD, you may have one or more of the following tests and procedures:
The goal of inflammatory bowel disease treatment is to reduce the inflammation that triggers your signs and symptoms. In the best cases, this may lead not only to symptom relief but also to long-term remission. IBD treatment usually involves either drug therapy or surgery.
Anti-inflammatory drugs are often the first step in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. They include:
These drugs also reduce inflammation, but they target your immune system rather than treating inflammation itself. Because immune suppressors can be effective in treating ulcerative colitis, scientists theorize that damage to digestive tissues is caused by your body's immune response to an invading virus or bacterium or even to your own tissue. By suppressing this response, inflammation is also reduced. Immune system suppressors are associated with a small risk of developing cancer, such as lymphoma. Immunosuppressant drugs include:
Side effects can include allergic reactions, bone marrow suppression, infections, and inflammation of the liver and pancreas. There also is a small risk of development of cancer with these medications. If you're taking either of these medications, you'll need to follow up closely with your doctor and have your blood checked regularly to look for side effects. If you've had cancer, discuss this with your doctor before starting these medications.
Some people with heart failure, people with multiple sclerosis, and people with cancer or a history of cancer can't take infliximab. The drug has been linked to an increased risk of infection, especially tuberculosis and reactivation of viral hepatitis, and may increase your risk of blood problems and cancer. You'll need to have a skin test for tuberculosis, a chest X-ray and a test for hepatitis B before taking infliximab.
However, adalimumab, like infliximab, carries a small risk of complications, including tuberculosis and serious fungal infections. Your doctor will give you a skin test for tuberculosis, obtain a chest X-ray and test you for hepatitis before you begin adalimumab treatment. The most common side effects of adalimumab are skin irritation and pain at the injection site, nausea, runny nose and upper respiratory infection.
Antibiotics can reduce the amount of drainage and sometimes heal fistulas and abscesses in people with Crohn's disease. Researchers also believe antibiotics help reduce harmful intestinal bacteria and suppress the intestine's immune system, which can trigger symptoms. However, there's no strong evidence that antibiotics are effective for Crohn's disease. Frequently prescribed antibiotics include:
In addition to controlling inflammation, some medications may help relieve your signs and symptoms. Depending on the severity of your inflammatory bowel disease, your doctor may recommend one or more of the following:
If diet and lifestyle changes, drug therapy, or other treatments don't relieve your IBD signs and symptoms, your doctor may recommend surgery.
People who have inflammatory bowel disease have an increased risk of colon cancer. Talk with your doctor about how often you should be screened.
Sometimes you may feel helpless when facing inflammatory bowel disease. But changes in your diet and lifestyle may help control your symptoms and lengthen the time between flare-ups.
There's no firm evidence that what you eat causes inflammatory bowel disease. But certain foods and beverages can aggravate your symptoms, especially during a flare-up. It's a good idea to try eliminating from your diet anything that seems to make your signs and symptoms worse. Here are some suggestions:
Smoking increases your risk of developing Crohn's disease, and once you have it, smoking can make the condition worse. People with Crohn's disease who smoke are more likely to have relapses, need medications and repeat surgeries. Quitting smoking can improve the overall health of your digestive tract, as well as provide many other health benefits.
Although stress doesn't cause inflammatory bowel disease, it can make your signs and symptoms much worse and may trigger flare-ups. Stressful events can range from minor annoyances to a move, job loss or the death of a loved one.
When you're stressed, your normal digestive process can change, causing your stomach to empty more slowly and secrete more acids. Stress can also speed or slow the passage of intestinal contents. It may also cause changes in intestinal tissue itself.
Although it's not always possible to avoid stress, you can learn ways to help manage it. Some of these include:
Many people with inflammatory bowel disease have used some form of alternative or complementary therapy. Side effects and ineffectiveness of conventional therapies may be among the reasons for seeking alternative care.
These therapies generally aren't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Manufacturers can claim that their therapies are safe and effective, but don't need to prove it. Because even natural herbs can have side effects and cause dangerous interactions, talk to your doctor before trying any alternative or complementary therapies.
Currently, no alternative therapies have good evidence supporting their use in treating IBD, but some that may eventually prove beneficial include:
Inflammatory bowel disease doesn't just affect you physically — it takes an emotional toll as well. If signs and symptoms are severe, your life may revolve around a constant need to run to the toilet. When you do, you might worry about an accident, and this anxiety only makes your symptoms worse.
One of the best ways to feel more in control is to find out as much as possible about inflammatory bowel disease. Organizations such as the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) have chapters across the United States to provide information and access to support groups. Contact the organization directly at 888-MY-GUTPAIN (888-694-8872).
Some people find it helpful to consult a psychologist or psychiatrist who's familiar with inflammatory bowel disease and the emotional difficulties it can cause. Ask your doctor for a referral if you think counseling might be helpful for you.
Although support groups aren't for everyone, they can provide valuable information about your condition as well as emotional support. Group members frequently know about the latest medical treatments or integrative therapies. You may also find it reassuring to be among people who understand what you're going through.

Domaine Viret 2000 Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages Saint-Maurice Cosmic , $12
This starts out with an effusive nose with lots of herbs, especially oregano, a little lavendar, dark earth and smoke. On the palate, there is a complex mix of red, blue and black fruits with lots of dark earth and herbs. Rich, medium- to full-bodied, but very smooth with decent acidity. Superb. Excellent match with lentil/rice soup. Importer: Louis/Dressner
Hiedler 2004 Grüner Veltliner Löss, $12
Delightful nose of white flowers and fruits (peach, perhaps?) accented by spice, peas and a little white pepper. On the palate, there is peach and citrus fruit, with lots of rocky minerality, some spice and white pepper. On the finish, there is a prickly sensation, a bit like spritz but it adds to the mineral/peppery sensation. Nice bright acidity. Outstanding match with Chinese food. Two days later, it's as good or better. The fruit is more citrusy and less peachy, and it seems more minerally, spicy and structured. Same outstanding food match. Importer: Michael Skurnik Wines, a Terry Theise Selection.

Excludes boys

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
I'm so disappointed that this only comes in pink. My son would love it for helping Dad cook in the kitchen, but I'm afraid he won't wear pink - even though I've explained to him there's no such thing as "boy" and "girl" colors. Too bad, Miles Kimball. Boys love to cook too. Otherwise, looks like a lovely product.

Best little girl's Christmas present !!
By Aunt Linda
from Webster Groves
I bought this item for my niece for Christmas. She is the kind of little girl who has everything. But, she didn't have this one! It was absolutely darling and with her name on it, it made it even more special. Also, the apron comes with other realistic matching goodies, just like moms. She was so excited she could not stop squealing. Not only was it made well but it was very appealing as far as color and design. Best Christmas present I have ever bought! I have been buying Christmas presents for years and I have to say that the Pers Apron Cooking Set is the best gift and value that I have ever gotten. Thank you Miles Kimball.

My little 4.12 pounder is gaining very slowly.
I was breastfeeding exclusively, but she was not emptying my breast completely on her own.(b/c she was so small)
Then my Ped. recc'd that I feed then pump and bottle feed breast milk. that went really well, fuller diapers, but still only maintaining her 4.6 pound weight(she lost 6 ounces at the beginning and is lingering).
Then, I went to breastfeeding 10 minutes at each side, then bottle feeding expressed milk, to help her become more efficient.
this is going great. it reduces feeding time, and gets things moving right along.
(sometimes if I am not one feed ahead of myself, she gets formula)
On Friday she gained 1/2 an ounce, and today, Mon., she gained only 1/4 ounce.
I feel like any progress is good, but I am getting a bit frustrated. She is 16 days old now.
My first preemie was much faster a gainer, but was on iv's and gavage fed, so it was different.
any input??

With all of the online excitement about an Emma Watson photo shoot with a fake tattoo for GQ, we thought we'd dig up this old profile on her from 2010.
Original article:
Emma Watson, Harry Potter's Hermoine, is all grown-up and ready to move beyond the franchise that has given the young actress great success.
During the London premiere of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:" Part 1, 20-year-old Watson said, "I just hope that the second part of my life is as incredible as the first half. I'm more grown up and confident now. I'm ready to take more risks," The Mirror reported.
The actress is grateful for her time filming the movies, but right now is ready to concentrate on her studies at Brown University in Providence, R.I., where she is currently enrolled as a student. She's adamant about completing her education. After that, she doesn't know.
Watson has grown up a lot in the ten years the Potter films have been out, and as a statement to her new maturity, she chopped off her hair as soon as she had completed the last film.
The Mirror reported that she was contractually obligated not to cut her hair or tan during the filming of the franchise, and so when she had the chance, she changed her whole appearance to start the next chapter of her life.
"The moment I cut my hair I felt I became a woman. Now I'm ready to start taking risks," Watson said.
Real life isn't the only place that Watson is showing maturity. In Part I of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow," Watson films a scene where her character Hermoine gives Harry Potter a kiss while she is "topless," the MTV UK reported. Watson said she wore a strapless bra and was covered in silver paint for the scene, and describes the kiss as "full-on."
Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter, said that Watson "really went for it" and was like "an animal," USA Today reported. Radcliffe wasn't complaining though.
Now that the filming of the Harry Potter films is over, it's hard to imagine anyone else playing Hermoine. MTV reported that back in 2006 when Watson's contract was up for renewal, there had been a strong possibility that she wouldn't continue.
Watson was committed to her studies back then, just as she is now at Brown, and filming was going to interfere with her exams. Fortunately for Watson, and fans alike, the studio worked it out so that she could stay on.
As for future film roles, Watson doesn't rule it out. The Mirror reported that she has been cast in the British film "My Week with Marilyn Monroe," and also has done an ad campaign for Burberry.

Comments On Sep 02, 2014:This tool is a must for making sure your wheel is properly aligned. It is quick and simple to use.

Comments On Apr 22, 2014:The alignment rod is shorter than I expected. I tried using this tool a couple times and didn't find it very user friendly. I didn't end up trusting the results I was getting so I stuck with using the notches for alignment. I doubt I will use this gadget again.

Comments On Mar 25, 2014:Seems to help with chain life. Wish some instruction were included. Seems self explanatory, but when you use it not clear what to line up exactly to the tool. Have to "eye ball" the reference points. Maybe I am just too exacting and need to give it a break. I wish it was a little more concrete in how it works. I think it helps me to be more exact then using a micrometer to measure the difference between sides of axle blocks. I also feel I can repeat the alignment to a greater degree of accuracy.

Comments On Feb 26, 2014:Buy it...no kidding...don't think about it. I purchased one and found that my wheel was misaligned by a decent amount. I am OCD and spend a lot of time making sure things are perfect. Without this tool, you are just guessing. It is the easiest way to align your rear time...it is stupidly simple.

Comments On Feb 23, 2014:Tool works as advertised. Takes very little time getting that initial alignment.

Comments On Jun 13, 2013:I was skeptical when a friend was showing me his Motion Pro Chain Alignment Tool, until I tried it. One of my bikes is a 2001 CR250R and the marks on the blocks and swingarm can be hard to distinguish from random scratches and nicks, this tool allows me to adjust the chain easier and faster than I ever could before, probably way more accurate too.

Comments On Feb 22, 2013:I have two rear wheels on my dirtbike that have different size sprockets for different terrain. So every time I switched tires I have to adjust the axle bolts which makes me have to realign the chain each time too. I used to measure each side about 5 times before I'd get it just right and it was a pain. Now I just slap this on, get the right chain slack, look at the tool, make a small adjustment and I'm good to go. Definitely worth the frustration it saves me!

Comments On Dec 04, 2012:this part may seem trivial, but it really works and will probably save you sprockets and chain in the long run

I love breakfast food! If I'm eating at 4am I'm probably getting an omelet and pancakes from iHop :)
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Aloe Water. It has a lot of nutrients and minerals for your body.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
A girl should never kiss and tell.. I'll leave it up to your imagination.

I always feel sexiest when relaxing at home in a tank top and booty shorts.

I'm ready for the time change too. I don't like spring ahead but I do like fall back! It's too hard to get up and get ready for work in the dark.
I was showing DH pictures of puppies again this weekend. I told him that a puppy would mean exercise for Cosmo and we could get her off the diet dog food...it's very high in fiber which means he's cleaning more #2's from the litter box (frequency and amount...it's crazy how much the food has changed it!). But he didn't fall for it and said that two dogs would mean the same amount of litter box cleanups.
We didn't do much over the weekend. Drank wine, watched some movies, slept, grilled out, he was messing with his legos and I got started on the stocking kit I bought for future baby. Um yeah so that is going to take me FOREVER to do considering I don't really know how to sew. I got two pieces cut out of the felt and sorted the different colored sequins.
We almost went to the mall of america and shoe shopping for me but my parents are visiting this weekend and I asked if they would want to do this and they were like yeah. My mom loves shoes, my dad wants to go to the lego area at the moa and my mom suggested stopping at Ikea which is next to the mall. For them the closest Ikea would be way down in a chicago burb.
Awww the kids from the daycare at work are all doing a parade and going past the patient library which is in the lobby. They are pretty cute! Only bad part is some of the parents came down to see and so of course some unhappy kids that they aren't going home to trick or treat like right now.
Suja, that IS cool news about your friend. Nice.
Jennifer, you're sure you're ready to take on a new puppy in the same year you might be bringing home a new child? LOL. That sounds like a lot, a lot, a lot of work. Hope you don't accidentally diaper the puppy instead of the baby. LOL.
Erin, I really want to see a pic of Ky in his scary zombie costume. Please. If you post it anywhere, please link me to it if you have a moment.
Chrissy, I got the laptop connectivity up and running again thanks to you. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that much of the laptop was OEM, so was able to use all the drivers Dell provided on the site. Most of my machines are "franken'puters" made up of random, scrounged-up parts (which is why I never had any Dell disks for the laptop). After all that, the thing is still running dog-slow, so I think I may have a hard drive or controller or processor on its way out. :/
The rest of our weekend was good. After seeing L @ the parade, we hung out a little longer with our holistic chiropractor friends (not the ones you met briefly, L. those were our stoner friends) to see the new office they're opening on the same street the parade was on. Bodhi and their little girl were running around the empty offices and putting on shocking displays of PDA - LOL. I mean, they were grabbing and hugging and kissing each other on the lips. It was adorable, and Bodhi insists that the girl was the one doing all the kissing. I just laughed and said, "Well, you didn't seem to mind it too much yourself. mister." I suppose it's too early for me to start envisioning what our grandchildren would look like? She is a gorgeous little kid.
Tonight, DH has to work, and B & I are trick-or-treating with Santi around the block tonight. I shared the things Bodhi said about his friend with Santi's mommy, and we both agreed the boys are going to be fine with whatever they work out, and we'll just continue to hang out, business-as-usual.
OK, since I'm totally incapable of keeping it brief, here's the silly thing I'm obsessing over today: B & I had a spontaneous playdate yesterday afternoon with some surfer parents that I really like. While we were talking about trick-or-treating, I prefaced a sentence with "If you're going to be in the area tomorrow..." and I was planning to finish off the sentence with "...go see this crazy house up the street from me where they went all-out in decorating". But midway through the sentence, I realized it sounded like I was going to invite them to come trick-or-treating with us. My friend was already starting to nod her head vigorously like she was going to accept my invitation. But then I finished my sentence, and it was just awkward and I felt bad, especially because I really like this mom, want to be a better friend to her, and have deeply buried suspicions/insecurities that she's too cool to be my friend. Plus, our husbands get on really well. We've been trying to get together 3 weekends in a row for playdates that haven't worked out. I feel like I made her feel a little stupid. So anyway, I texted her this morning and told her that we would come to their door later this evening so Bodhi could bring them some treats. I hope that smooths (smoothes?) things out a bit.
Some pictures from last Saturday
These are some of my favorites of Ls little giraffe and princess:
A princess, a crocodile and an engineer all walk into a bar together :
And, just for fun, here is my little crocodile wrestling an affectionate little bear:
Suja what wonderful news. I love hearing things like that.
I had a good birthday. My brother came over and spent the day with us which was great because I adore him. He makes me feel like an old fuddy duddy sometimes. He came in with a huge bottle of wine singing, "We're poppin bottles for Digits (nickname, long story) birthday!" and was like, "Um, I'm nursing my baby."
Then after the kids went to bed he wanted to do a shot of tequila and I was like, "SHHH Dexter is on!"
So dbf sat in his chair all.day.long playing online poker. As per usual I cooked for everyone all day but didn't do much cleaning. He's been stomping around all morning cleaning up there and I am just totally acting like I don't notice his attitude.
There was a totally heated moment yesterday where Kai was wearing a goofy bracelet (anyone remember snap bracelets?) of my brothers. Most of you know my brother is gay, he wears silly things sometimes paints his nails, whatever. Well Kai loved the bracelet and came in saying to dbf, "Daddy, I really love this bracelet and I want one." And dbf replied, "You don't want that ridiculous thing. You're a boy. That is a girl's bracelet."
I was like dude, come ON. You know it's my brother's and he is clearly a MAN. To which dbf started to laugh!
Him and my brother exchanged a few words and dbf acted like my brother and I were being soo oversensitive and he was just kidding. I tried explaining that you can't cover up a faux pas by saying your just kidding and you can't always be "kidding" at someone else's expense because it's not funny. Then my brother said, "I'll thank you to keep your gender bias to yourself please." And my brother and I walked out of the room and laughed so hard at what that last sentence that only a gay teacher would throw out in an argument.
That made me laugh!!!(not the ones you met briefly, L. those were our stoner friends)
Jennifer I love puppies, but I agree that you are crazy for thinking of getting a new puppy when you will be getting a new squishy bundle soon
Wow Bridget I really don't know how you stand it. I think I would've dumped a soda on his head if he thought *I* was going to cook for everyone on *my* bday. Call me selfish
And your brother is awesome! I just want to give him a high five!!!
Erin I also want to see Ky's costume; it sounds awesome!!!
I had to chuckle at your misunderstanding with your new friend. I hate it when stuff like that happens and feel like I totally obsess about it. Then years later when you really are close friends and you bring it up, they have no idea what you are talking about because they didn't even notice.
I can't believe you think you wouldn't be cool enough for anyone! You're like the coolest cat ever! I always feel like if I ever met anyone from apa irl they'd think I was a snoozer because I wouldn't have time to formulate my comments as I do on here.
You ladies move too fast for me and I keep missing things Myles I have done the same thing before, it is embarassing for sure I agree with Bridget though, you ARE a cool cat and you never know, maybe she feels the same way
If I met anybody from APA in real life they would definitely think I was a complete and utter witch. I tend to censor myself alot on here, more so than I do irl.
I really wish we'd put an end to all this clock changing nonsense. Pick one, stick with it. Is that so hard? There is no real reason anymore for it; we're not an agrarian society, and there is no energy savings either.
I think I'm the only person on the planet that wouldn't want puppies. They're okay if they're someone else's and get to go home with them at the end of the day. Kinda the same way I feel about most kids, actually.
Bridget, good for you and your brother for calling DBF on his inappropriate "kidding". Sets a good example for the kids too.
Exhausted today. So much end of quarter stuff to get done, payroll for tomorrow, and Mira has a bad ear infection, which I'm completely stressed out about. I wish there was some magical flavorless pill or something I could give her instead of this crappy medicine. Every session is such a battle and I give myself heartburn just thinking about how we're going to manage to get another dose into her, and just how much puking she'll do.
Eh I would totally get a puppy like this weekend if DH would agree to it. But that isn't going to happen (though he came thisclose in August and basically didn't because his grandma was dying and there was the funeral and travel and it was just bad timing). I mean I might get a baby sometime in the near future but really I think that it will be at least another year if not more. I can have a puppy trained by than!
I have it easier than some though....my DH is very helpful at home and does a lot of the cleaning and cleans up after the dog we already have. And with us working opposite shifts, there is almost always someone home so training is much easier. We both spent a lot of time working on Cosmo and got our technique down so we were doing the same things with her. It really wasn't too bad having a puppy at all.
So I try to tempt him and pull up the website from where we got Cosmo and show him cute puppies from time to time to see if he will fall for it....but nothing yet. LOL
Happy belated birthday! I missed you saying that your birthday was coming, but in my defense this thread moves at light speed. Hope you had a great day!
And WTF on your DBFs comment. But it's kind of nice that your brother was there to back you up too.
Gender bias is so ingrained in most men. My DH finally let Abbey paint his toenails after several months of her pleading. I wouldn't let him tell her "boys don't wear nail polish" so he kept giving her excuse after excuse, until her little eyes welled up one day. The tears did it, and now he has purple toenails.

Oh that is an evil idea! Sadly it's like a 3 hour drive and there is NO way in you know what that he would agree to it because he knows we would leave without one. He wants one and I know we will eventually get another one....he just has much better self-control.
When he gives me an ok on something, I move FAST. he said yes to Cosmo and we had her literally within days. Agreed to adoption and bam, he's in classes and giving them money. I don't give him much time to try to change his mind!
I'm just posting in here so that my #6666 post can be in this thread...tee hee!
Speaking of socializing in general … do you ladies ever feel like your partner's social director? I do. If I didn't arrange get-togethers for my DH, he'd never get out and socialize. Virtually every male he spends any time with these days, he met through me. And the ironic thing is, once he's out there socializing, he's way better at it than me. DH has great childhood friends all on the East Coast. They talk on the phone once every 2-3 months, and he says "I love you, brother" whenever he ends a call with one of them. Out here, though, where he's lived for 12 years now, he hasn't made the same bonds. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't bothered by it, but every once in a blue moon, he complains about missing his buddies and wishing he had more friends out here. I'm like, "Well, why don't you put some sort of effort into it, then?"
Two times this weekend, DH missed opportunities to pursue friendships. One guy - with the most righteous Karl Marx beard ever- came over last Friday to the club event I hosted, and it turned out they were both on the technical side of the recording industry. They hung out all night and joked about forming a rock band called "Zero Potential". DH talked about how interesting and smart he was afterwards. After all that, though, they didn't exchange any contact info. DH shrugged and said his business cards had been downstairs. Then yesterday at the beach, I came out of the water and DH was talking to this dad of 3. They really hit it off, talking about hiking and backpacking and surfing. I couldn't even get DH's attention because they were so into the conversation. When we finally packed up for home, DH said, "I hope we run into those guys again."
I'm in the same mommy club as both of these guys' wives, and I get along ok with both of them. So I'll probably end up tracking them down just to give DH the chance to hang again. DH is always in a good mood after he's 'fraternized', but it doesn't occur to him to make plans for himself. I swear, it's like I have to arrange playdates for him. Sometimes I feel like I lecture him about putting care and feeding into his friendships the way some wives nag their hubbies to eat better and pick up after themselves.

I feel like I'm on my last 2 days of being able to overshare, since I start new projects on Wed and won't have as much opportunity to talk your ears off for awhile. So here's video of Bodhi at the beach last night after his little buddy had gone home and the sun was going down fast. Those two had found a big, gaping hole in the sand with – joy of joys! – a gloppy layer of mud at the bottom of it. It's cute, but I am sharing the vid not only so you can see how much fun he was having, but to also give you all a sense of just how hard it was to tear him away back to the car. I think if he'd had the vocabulary, he would have been furiously hurling f-bombs at me all the way home. I got an earful of how I'm bad, and daddy was bad, and our house was bad, and our doggies were bad, and he wanted to go back to the beach and I needed to take him back now, leave him there and drive far, far away. It was heartbreaking how much he wanted to go back to that hole. I tried to get him psyched about something else, but it's really hard to compete with a squishy mud pit!

If you have intel hardware, they also have a tool on their site that (with administrator permission) will scan your hardware and let you know if there are updated drivers available. Not helpful if you don't have internet connection, but if you can get just that...you're good to go for other stuff.
So often the rescues I have seen say things like no other pets, no small kids, must have fenced yard....just a lot of baggage that wouldn't fit with our family right now.
Course if I did come across the right dog, I would reconsider. We have an online classifieds at work and sometimes people post trying to find new homes for their dogs....so far I haven't seen anything that would have fit with us though.
Chrissy, nobody's going to kick you out if you don't keep up! Don't get stressed about it. We all go through times of not keeping up.
Umm, I confess my DH and well really me have NO social life. In two weeks we will have been living here for 5 years and we have no friends. I mean I chat with work people and he will chat with work people but we don't socialize outside of work.
I have my bff but she lives like 90 minutes away and we see each other like once a year....and her hubby while nice enough is very different from mine. So we hang out together with them and her kid/kids now but they aren't really friends. And my sister we are really close too but when she does get married, it won't be a guy to be bff's with my DH.
Oh we have socialized a brief amount with other couples in our adoption group but again, while nice enough I don't see any best friend connections forming.
Basically I was 19 and he was 21 when we got together and his hs buddies and him were going in different directions and once we started dating, we were always together and became each others best friend.
In many ways I like it like this....we both are clingy and so it works out well that when not at work, we are usually together. But sometimes I do wish that we could meet a few people here and feel that connection.
So much to catch up on, I'm sure I'll leave out most of what I wanted to follow up on.
With my 2 dogs I'm dogged out for the moment. Love them but don't need another one in my life. Unless one were to walk in my door, otherwise we'll have to wait. Plus I'm constantly at the vet with my cat so I've got all I can handle in the animal department.
Myles, I have to confess if we met IRL I'm sure I wouldn't be cool enough to hang out with you. So there.
Which is a nice transition to socializing. I have lots of work friends but we rarely hang out outside of work. A few people, but I'm rather a boring person and I really prefer to stay in. DH is the same way, but worse so on the rare occasions I do want to socialize, he doesn't.
Bridget, I can't believe your dbf acting like that around your brother. Well, I suppose I can but that's too bad. My DH is a military guy so very "macho" and my brother is more of a hipster. Definitely not gay or effeminate, but very interested in fashion, design, and other not so stereotypically manly stuff. Oddly, they get along very well. I'd have a hard time if DH had a problem with my brother. Paul is way cooler than I ever dreamed of being. Cool enough to hang out with Myles, even. ;)
Suja, that's wonderful about your friend. It gives all of us STC'ers hope to hear stories like that.

Oh - and daylight savings time. We don't do that here, at all. One of the things I actually do about AZ. It does mean waking up in the pitch dark and going to work as the sun rises in winter, though, and I start work at 8:00. Well, at 8:15 I suppose. ;)
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I don't plan get togethers for DH any more than I plan them for myself ;) We are both pretty socially awkward unless we can talk about the one or two things we are really interested in. The most socialization DH gets is lunch with coworkers and the occasional holiday party. The most socialization I get is going to church, playdates and kids parties.
It's very odd because we both lament that we don't have more friends and that we don't often get invited out to things but neither of us wants to do the work to make and upkeep friendships.
We don't have any friends that are married couples...but when I say 'socialize' I mean anything from family dinners, to bowling or even movies. Rich would never do any of that stuff if I didn't initiate it. No family dinners or even holiday or birthday celebrations. It's all me me me every time.
I don't even worry about whether I'm 'cool' enough for anyone. Not sure why that is because I grew up very shy and unsure of myself. I guess I got over that. I've met quite a few APA moms and would love to meet all of you-the thought never crosses my mind about whether I'm cool enough or what we'd talk about. Maybe because my thoughts are always so tangential that I don't really struggle with topic jumping? I'm sure I have a flaw there but I put it to good use.
Cute strawberry costume!!!
My dh has more friends. If we ever parted, I would return to my personal isolation very soon. I just don't naturally have making/keeping/cultivating friends as a priority as I would almost always much rather do art or read or organize myself. Like I said in an earlier post, I think I have a touch of some kind of social anxiety disorder so going out, making friends, etc. really stresses me out. I don't mind giving dinner parties or having parties in my house, though. Partly because my dh cooks, so all I have to worry about is a clean house, clean dishes and clean clothing. Before him I had never given a dinner party before and now we have people over at least twice a month. It's nice.
I'm freaking out a little bit about JoJo's birthday party this weekend. We have had only ONE person reply no, so now our total guest list is OVER FIFTY PEOPLE!!! As long as the weather holds I think we will be okay because we can have the backyard. If it rains then we are screwed. The only time I will say this, but thank goodness it never rains here I think for favors I will just get gift certificates at the local ice cream place, a helium balloon and a cd from the children's entertainer we hired. I hate favor bags - always just full of crap I throw away as soon as we get home - AND they are so flippin' expensive!!! Of course JoJo now hates cupcakes and wants a real cake - how big of a cake to serve 50?

Personal Branding Is All About Your Authentic Self
Posted on April 3rd 2014
Have you ever seen a friend's Facebook post and thought to yourself: "That's not you at all. Why are you saying that?" It happens all the time, and as a personal branding coach, I find it disheartening.
People tend to "hide" behind their keyboards, either saying things that they would never say to someone's face, or representing themselves in a false light. These people are not being authentic. And they are only hurting themselves.
When you pursue your personal branding strategy, you have to be clear on one thing: It's all about being authentic. You can have the greatest social media posts, the most fantastic blog, the best infographics – but if you're not being authentic, it's all for nothing. Without being "you," you are canceling out everything else you're doing to grow your personal brand.
When you are building your personal brand, you must be authentic in everything you do.
What is your 'authentic self'?
How does your "authentic self" help your personal brand? Here's a passage from Embrace Your Magnificence by Fabienne Fredrickson, which I believe sums it up perfectly:
"Surprisingly, the act of sharing more of my authentic self to others affected my business in a good way. The more vulnerable I was, the more prospective clients started coming out of the woodwork and acknowledging how refreshing it was to hear me be so truthful about my experiences, fears and feelings. And they hired me." (p. 57)
People buy from those they trust, right? An important way to build trust is to be authentic. Authenticity leads to trust, which leads to a more successful personal brand. It all starts with your authentic self.
How to be your 'authentic self'
You may be wondering, now, how you can be more authentic with your personal brand. It's normal to feel nervous about revealing your true self to others. What if they don't like you? What if you reveal too much? Here are some quick tips to help you be your most authentic self, especially when interacting online:
- Write like you speak. If you just wrote a social media post, and it doesn't sound like something that would come out of your mouth, delete it.
- Show emotion. Are you mad that your Wi-Fi connection stinks? Are you happy that your sports team won a game? Or you nervous about an upcoming speech? If it helps, use emoticons to help convey your emotions.
- If you wouldn't say it to someone's face "in real life," then don't type it on social media.
- Share personal pictures. People love to see others in natural settings. Take a picture of your delicious salad, or a selfie with your husband at the beach. Personal photos show that you're a human too – wrinkles and all.
- It's okay to show your vulnerabilities. Express your fears. People with "Teflon coatings" have a harder time making authentic connections with others.
Your first step to personal branding success is to show your authentic self in every interaction – online and offline. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but over time, you will feel more secure in your authenticity. And your personal brand (and your business or career) will thrive as a result.

There is a deep hole in my soul right now. It's been about two months now since I have been to Miller Park and the hole is pretty big. I've been trying to fill it up with something, anything, but nothing seems to be working. I've tried it all yoga, reading, crack cocaine, PCP, shadowboxing, jogging (pronounced yogging), everything and nothing seems to work. Perhaps it was divine intervention, perhaps something else but last week I got invited to go on a bus to a Milwaukee Admirals game. Could this be the thing to fill the hole in my life?
In a word, no. In a lot of words, sort of. Let's look at the facts. Continue reading →

By Michael Arbeiter, Hollywood Staff
We've come a long way since the days of the Roman Empire - our pants are tighter, our Us are rounder - but the entertainment industry doesn't seem to have changed. We're not quite throwing Russell Crowes into the ring to fight 'til the death (although that Les Mis performance had us at least considering the option), but we still take an unholy amount of pleasure in watching people suffer. Reality television sprouts from the grounds of schadenfreude, with franchises devoted to chronicling hopeful men and women as they fail and creating deplorable caricatures which fend off self-betterment; today's serial drama is affixed to the colossal decline of tortured greats. But these are fictional characters (and celebrities), so there's no real victim. This sadistic sense of amusement only presents itself for all its inherent problems when turned toward the human race - the latest example being Louisville Cardinals guard Kevin Ware.
As you probably already know, the college sophomore snapped his leg during Sunday's game against Duke. The jarring injury, which caused Ware's bone to permeate his shin, elicited a collective "OHHH!" from the legion of fans watching the Eight Elite tourney. Ever since, nary a conversation has gone by without mention of the incident. While it is natural to set our attention on an occurrence so steeply embedded in tragedy and shock value, human nature can only excuse so much. What we're hard pressed to see forgiven is our jokes, our tweets, and most of all, our ceaseless sharing and rewatching of Ware's accident. We really need to cut that out.
RELATED: Stop Slut-Shaming Miley Cyrus
Ware is hardly an outlier in this sort of circumstance - the American public cooks a banquet from televised tragedies whenever the opportunity is presented. A similar fascination surrounded Joe Theismann's 1985 Monday Night Football injury, the death of Olympic luger Nodar Kumaritashvili just prior to the 2010 opening ceremonies, and FoxNews' on-camera suicide last year. The sadder or more grueseome the instance, the more of a fixation it draws.
The ramifications of this are twofold - the first victim, of course, is Ware. A young athlete suffering physical pains, a suspended college basketball career, and now the daunting connotation of this freak accident. While Ware heads through recovery, America maintains its unblinking eye on his moment of catastrophe.
But we're not only harming Ware here, we're running our own appreciation of human tragedy through the mill. We shouldn't take a grotesque form of pleasure, or strive to, in watching the physical injuries of another person - in wanting to watch this video and prolonging the conversation about the details, we're fleeing from our evolutionary predeliction to think that bones jutting out of skin is gross and upsetting.
RELATED: Robin Thicke's NSFW Video Deserves a Dressing Down
In keeping the Ware video on loop and by including it in every other email chain and tweet you create today, we're stripping the incident of its gravity. We're robbing Ware of his duress, transforming it instead to our malformed eye candy. And it's a slippery slope. We find it easy to deprive fictional characters of our sympathy, sure. Reality stars? Don't give them a second thought. But athletes, college-aged athletes especially, indicate a frightening downfall. When are we able to care again? When can we look at someone undertaking tragedy and think of his or her own personal horrors and pains, taking them on for ourselves in some conceivable way? Do instances like these indicate a lost ability to empathize with spotlit sufferers? Or are we just so fascinated by seeing horrifying events that we cast aside Ware's suffering to appease our own curiosity?
It might seem like we're making a bit much of a broken bone - Ware will recover. He is slated to return to basketball in a year, where he might well go on to a long and prosperous career. But odds are, these aren't the sentiments being shared. Odds are, the focus of all Ware-focal conversations will be the moment of injury, not the recovery. And the link to that terrible video will be shared not with an air of sympathy and compassion, but with an invigorated, ''You've got to watch this!'' When, really, you don't have to.

It wasn't drama. It was just me reading something, not agreeing with it and thinking "Oh. Ew." :laugh:
I confess that last night when I woke Jimi up so we could make the bed and get in it, I told him I had a confession to make.
Then I told him about the picture and he said "As long as you didn't show the whole world I guess." OOPS! :lol:
I told him I kind of did and he fussed about it for a minute and said "That's jacked up."
I showed him this morning though and he was fine with it. LOL
Oh yeah I typed too fast, I didn't really mean just drama, just whatever turned you off in general LOL
I confess we're going to the inlaws. Give me strength. Love the people, but I feel like while i'm there, his mom and I talk constantly, and by the time we leave my jaw hurts from gossiping and talking about days of our lives.
I confess I hate bringing Lex to other peoples' houses, because she wants to be on the floor, and there's just SOOO much to get into!
I'm thinking my children might have Youthful Tendency Disorder.

Hey guys! I'm here. My computer crashed AGAIN and I am secretly posting from Dh's work computer. APA has a tendency to crash his computer so none of you b!tches better have any hidden viruses in your siggies. :winks: So, long and short of it, my mom is pretty ill and probably won't live past a year from now. I am struggling to cope and not having the internet is tough. I deleted my Facebook and since most of you were my friends, just wanted to make sure you didn't think I was shafting you. I miss ya'll like crazy. I hope we can get our computer running or get a new computer and I can go back to being the APA butterfly I once was.
Love and miss you guys. :wub:
I just thought I'd let you ladies know that I've had a miscarriage, so no June baby for me. I never told work I was pregnant, so I am going to keep it quiet about the miscarriage, too. Only close family knew. We'll be trying again, though, as soon as possible.
I never thought I'd have a miscarriage, but every woman in my close famiy has had one now including me. I'm very sad and DH and I have had a cry about it, but we know we can move on from this and will try again. Thank you all for your support!
Hi Rin! Miss you!
I'm so sorry, silverstar.
I confess I need all the positive thoughts you ladies can spare... Charlie had another weight check this morning, and she is still loosing weight. She's now lost 15% of her birth weight, and the pedi said normally at this point they admit the child to the hospital.
The only reason they didn't do that is because we have another appointment tomorrow, and she said Charlie LOOKS great, however if she doesn't gain anything -- or looses more -- by our appointment tomorrow they will have to put her in the hospital.

Brandon James was in for quite a shock Tuesday night. He says he went to bring in the garbage bins when he realized his daughter's car, just recently driven in from Colorado for Thanksgiving, had been stolen - right out of their Ridgewood Street driveway on Detroit's west side.Inside the 2013 Nissan Ultima was one thousand rounds of exploding ammunition. Both his daughter and her husband work for Air Force military police, and told police they drove in the boxes of ammo to do some training while they were in town.Police treated this incident as a high priority; the massive amounts of explosive ammunition is said to be armor piercing. In a matter of hours police located the vehicle only three blocks away, but it was up on blocks. The wheels and rims were gone - and so was all of the ammunition.It's believed the suspects broke in through the car's window, shifted the car into neutral and pushed it three blocks away to strip it in front of an abandoned house. The car has been impounded and is being processed for evidence. The ATF is now involved as investigators search for the suspects and all of that ammunition."I don't want this turned into the fact that anything was done wrong; nothing was done wrong. Everything was legal and someone came on my property and stole their vehicle," James tells Fox 2's Taryn Asher. VIDEO: Click on the video player above to hear more from James in Asher's report
