Make Life Shower Curtain
Hey everybody! I'm Tam from Sew Dang Cute, and I'm excited to be back here on the Moda Bake Shop to share another project with you - a shower curtain!
If you like free fabric, hurry over to my blog to enter a HUGE giveaway I'm having right now. Let's get started on that shower curtain, shall we?
*All seams 1/4" unless otherwise noted.
- 1 honey bun
- 1/2 yd fabric
- 3 yds fabric
- Coordinating thread
1. We are going to start with our diagonal stripwork. Randomly cut some pieces from your honey bun strips. Go ahead, just cut whatever sizes makes you happy. You'll end up using the entire honey bun. I laid mine out on my cutting board and started in the corner. Once you've determined your angle, start laying pieces down like so, until you've reached 17", which is as tall as we will go. Sew your cut pieces RST (right sides together) along the 1 1/2" sides to form a strip. Finish the seams by either serging or zig-zag stitching. From here you just keep cutting pieces to form strips, then we need to sew all the strips together. As you sew the strips together, start the next strip about a 1/4" down like so. They should look something like this. Finish the seams. Continue until your you have one big piece that is 74" long. Press the seams all in one direction. Topstitch all the seams down. Trim the piece so you have one big rectangle measuring 17" x 74", then cut it into two pieces - 4 1/2" x 74" and 12 1/2" x 74".
2. From here I thought a pattern/diagram would be easiest to refer to instead of pictures. If needed, click on image to enlarge.
*Note: We are going to assume the width of the fabric is 42".
Take your 1/2 yd of fabric (green), and cut (2) 5" pieces and (2) 2" pieces. From those cut them so you have the following pieces:
- (2) 18" x 5"
- (1) 42" x 5"
- (2) 18" x 2"
- (1) 42" x 2"
Sew the three 5" pieces together to along the 5" edge to form a row with the 42" piece in the middle. (Refer to the diagram above). Finish seams and press. Repeat with the 2" pieces.
3. Take your 3 yds of fabric (blue), and cut (2) 50" pieces and (1) 7" piece. From those cut the following:
- (2) 18" x 50" (You will need to get this first, then unfold to get the 18" x 7" pieces below)
- (1) 42" x 50"
- (2) 18" x 7"
- (1) 42" x 7"
Sew the 7" pieces together the same way as used in step 3. Finish seams and press. Repeat on the 50" pieces. After pressing the 50" seams, topstitch the seams down. (The other rows are so short that I didn't bother topstitching them, however if you would like to, feel free to do so).
4. As a reminder, here's the pattern again. 5. Now we are going to sew all our rows together as follows:
1. 7" blue
2. 4 1/2" diagonal strips
3. 2" green
4. 50" blue
5. 5" green
6. 12 1/2" diagonal strips
Finish seams. Press and topstitch. Trim all your sides up if necessary.
6. Let's hem those sides and bottom edge. Fold a side edge 1/2" towards the wrong side of the fabric. Press. Fold another 1/2" and press. Stitch down. Repeat on the other side and the bottom.
7. Now for the top edge. I serged the top raw edge and folded it down 3" and pressed. If you don't have a serger, fold 1/4" down and press, then fold another 2 3/4" down and press. Stitch that hem down. You should now have something that looks like this. 8. The last thing we need to do is make some buttonholes for our curtain rings to go through. Lay your curtain out flat on the ground and mark where you want your buttonholes. I grabbed a shower curtain and laid it on top to mark mine. You should have 12 marks now, each about 1" long and 6" apart. Set your sewing machine to its buttonhole settings. Attach your buttonhole foot. **Check your machine's manual for specific sewing instructions, because each machine can be different. My machine won't sew buttonholes. In theory, you are supposed to be able to place a button of the desired size in the foot, then push down on the pedal and it should sew the buttonhole. I have yet to get my machine to do this. I used my mom's. On hers you sew down as far as you need to go, then push the buttonhole button located by the stitch selection buttons and it sews the rest. You'll end up with 12 marks that look like this. Grab your seam ripper and place it between the stitchings and rip about halfway up. Then switch to the other end and rip the rest of the way. You can just rip all the way with that first rip, but I like to switch so you can prevent accidentally ripping too much and going through the stitching. Repeat on all 12 buttonholes and it's all done! Place your curtain rings through those buttonholes and hang up your new shower curtain!
One shower curtain measuring 72" x 72".

I've been looking for a super-uber cool shower curtain project too! This is fabulous, thanks for sharing!
- October 2, 2010 at 5:30 PM
I made this around Christmas time. I used a Moda honeybun (I can't remember the print, now!) and paired it with Kona espresso for the skinny part and Kona ash for the bigger part. My only suggestion would be that it would help to know how long to make the strips. I ended up only having them being 15 inches long because I didn't make them long enough. Also, this took a lot more thread than I expected. It was a great project, and I really like my end product! Thanks!
- January 25, 2011 at 9:28 PM
This shower curtain idea is so awesome! I can make one with coordinating material for each holiday. lol

love this, it is so beautiful, but it looks too complicated for me, but your work is totally awesome.
maybe one day I will go ahead and give this a try.
thanks for showing us this beautiful work of yours,
Have a nice day

Sanzar unlikely to extend TMO role
Sanzar CEO Greg Peters has hinted that it's unlikely that television match officials will have their jurisdiction extended during the 2013 Super Rugby season.
Peters remained non-commital when asked about the TMO being allowed to review possible infringements during try-scoring movements and incidents of foul-play, citing reservations about how it will delay matches and frustrate supporters.
He is also concerned that if Sanzar agrees to implement the TMO changes it will create a messy situation where Super Rugby is played under different guidelines to tournaments in the northern hemisphere.
The IRB's rugby committee will review the TMO changes, that have been trialled in the Currie Cup and Aviva Premiership, on December 21.
Super Rugby will start on February 15 - well before the IRB council has time to assess and recommend any findings. The council is set to meet again next May.
"I think the jury is still out on this," Peters told Fairfax Media.
"It will be a big ask (to change the rules around the TMO), given the IRB hasn't met to discuss them by the time our competition has started."
While Sanzar will adopt the abbreviated scrum engagement sequence and rule demanding players use the ball within five seconds from rucks and mauls Peters was concerned that the TMO's interference would annoy fans.
"There is also a lot of subjectivity around it - things like who initiates the review, the referee or the TMO? How far do you go back in the movement? Was there foul play downfield, was there a forward pass back on the 22m and if it was a line-ball you have to take the camera angle into account too," he added.
A concern raised by New Zealand's franchises during a meeting with the New Zealand Rugby Union's high performance referee manager is that assistant referees would opt-out of making quick decisions.
During the Currie Cup and Premiership matches some assistant referees immediately referred decisions to the TMO instead of having the courage to make the call themselves.
"Sanzar will want to be very, very clear on the extent of the protocols if anything is to be changed at all," Peters added.
"We don't want fans to get confused. It can seem simple but it's not. There is so much subjectivity."
Although Peters said Sanzar hadn't completely dismissed the concept of the TMO being given more powers, he remained cautious.
"This is something I would prefer to see introduced across the whole game, not just in selected competitions... if the recommendations are very clear in stating how they should be used it is possible we will implement them."

The search for a suspected killer is over in Detroit. Police sent out an alert Saturday after a 19-year-old woman was murdered on her porch.
Click on the video player to watch Alexis Wiley's report.
From the beginning, Detroit police knew exactly who they were looking for. They were following tips and leads -- and it appears Antoine Wilson, 20, decided it was time to stop running. He's accused of pulling out a gun and shooting his teenage girlfriend following an argument on the 3900 block of Gavin.
Sunday, Wilson turned himself in. He's expected to be arraigned in the next few days.

Unfortunately, we do not ship to your country.
For every type of use there is a Canyon mountain bike to suit your needs. Here are a few tips to find out which bike is best for you:
Do you want to ride fast in cross-country terrain? If so, then this is the group of bikes which best fits in with your needs. These bikes are simply crying out for extreme leg power and will carry you with lightening speed along tracks and cross-country routes. The bikes are optimized to be as light as possible and have less suspension travel than their comrades from other MTB categories. The rider's position on the bike is competitive and somewhat outstretched. Cross-country bikes offer superb transmission of power uphill, however on fast downhill sections considerable skill is required of the rider. Bikes in this category are often hardtails, meaning they have no suspension on the rear wheel. This makes the bike that much lighter, however the rear wheel is more likely to lose contact with the ground on extremely bumpy terrain and that results in a loss of power.
You want to ride competitively but do want to make any compromises with regard to comfort? Then a marathon bike will suit you best. The bikes in this category are relatively light, have full suspensions and offer a more relaxed position on the bike than the race machines in the cross-county race category. These bikes are also ideal for tours in moderately rough terrain. They are, however, not suitable for use in bike parks or extremely tough terrain. Sporty tour riders will appreciate bikes in this category since they offer an excellent mix between good climbing characteristics and acceptable downhill abilities.
Do you want a well-balanced bike that you can whizz up hills and charge downhill on? Do you often ride trails off the beaten track. Do you like riding long and relaxing tours. If your answer to all these questions is yes, then an all-mountain bike is the best option for you. Bikes in this category have full suspension, offer a relaxed riding position and are still relatively light. This makes them the perfect companion for long and relaxing tours. The handling is docile. Downhill it is easy to keep the bike under control and on the climbs the relatively low weight helps you to defy gravity.
Do you prefer riding downhill to uphill? Do you want to have some reserves on your suspension just in case you need to jump a few meters? Then an enduro bike is exactly what you need. With these bikes the emphasis is on descents on tricky trails, drops and long downhills. In order to have optimum control, the rider's position on the bike is upright and the handlebar is extra wide. Due to the bulky frame, components and the mega travel reserves the weight is somewhat greater than bikes in other categories. Riding uphill and log tours are possible, but they require a particularly high level of fitness.
Do you want to ride wherever you want to? Would you like to have a bike that does everything, coupled with the maximum possible amount of travel? You don't like riding uphill so much, but simply love to just go with the flow on long descents? Then we recommend you go for a freerider. These bikes will do virtually everything regardless of whether you are in the bike park, riding on blocked trails or way off the beaten track. The extremely upright riding position and the greater overall weight make long tours or rides uphill much more difficult. This all gives you optimum control over your bike on the downhill and when showing your style in the bike park.

Most kids curse before they learn the alphabet
(NEWSER) – Most kids can utter an expletive before they even know their ABCs—probably because their parents (and most other adults) have such terrible pottymouths, according to a new book. In Holy Sh*t: A Brief History of Swearing, Mellissa Mohr argues that English-speakers actually use a curse word about once every 140 words, theDaily Mail reports. That makes foul language as popular as first person plural pronouns like "our," "us," and "we." Among the book's findings:
- Cursing usually "kicks off" when a child is three or four.
- About 0.7% of all English words spoken on a given day are swear words.

GENERIC NAME: lithium
BRAND NAME: Lithobid
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Lithium is used for the treatment of manic/depressive (bipolar) and depressive disorders. Lithium is a positively charged element or particle that is similar to sodium and potassium. It interferes at several places inside cells and on the cell surface with other positively charged atoms such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium which are important in many cellular functions.
Lithium interferes with the production and uptake of chemical messengers by which nerves communicate with each other (neurotransmitters). Lithium also affects the concentrations of tryptophan and serotonin in the brain. In addition, lithium increases the production of white blood cells in the bone marrow. Lithium's effects usually begin within 1 week of starting treatment, and the full effect is seen by 2 to 3 weeks.
Lithium has been used since the 1950's. The FDA approved lithium carbonate, the most common lithium preparation in 1970.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
STORAGE: All formulations should be kept at room temperature, 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Lithium is used for treating manic episodes due to bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness). It also is combined with antidepressants to treat depression.
DOSING: Doses vary widely and are adjusted based on measurements of the levels of lithium in the blood. Recommended blood levels are 0.6-1.2 mEq/L. Early in therapy, dose adjustments are made as often as every 5 to 7 days to establish the correct dose. Most patients require 900-2400 mg daily in 2-4 divided doses depending on the formulation being used. Patients with kidney disease excrete less lithium from the body and, therefore, require lower doses.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (for example, ibuprofen [Motrin, Advil], naproxen [Naprosyn, Aleve], indomethacin [Indocin], nabumetone [Relafen], diclofenac [Voltaren, Cataflam, Arthrotec], ketorolac [Toradol]), reduce the kidney's ability to eliminate lithium and lead to elevated levels of lithium in the blood andside effects from lithium. Blood concentrations of lithium may need to be measured for 4 to 7 days after an NSAID is either added or stopped during lithium therapy. Aspirin and sulindac (Clinoril) do not appear to affect lithium concentrations in the blood.
Diuretics (water pills) should be used cautiously in patients receiving lithium. Diuretics that act at the distal renal tubule, (for example, hydrochlorothiazide [Hydrodiuril], spironolactone [Aldactone], triamterene [Dyrenium; Dyazide, Maxzide]), can increase blood concentrations of lithium. Diuretics that act at the proximal tubule, (for example, acetazolamide [Diamox]), are more likely to reduce blood concentrations of lithium. Diuretics such as furosemide (Lasix) and bumetanide (Bumex) may have no affect on lithium concentrations in blood.
ACE inhibitors, (for example, enalapril [Vasotec], lisinopril [Zestril, Prinivil], benazepril [Lotensin], quinapril [Accupril], moexipril [Univasc], captopril [Capoten], ramipril [Altace]), may increase the risk of developing lithium toxicity by increasing the amount of lithium that is reabsorbed into the body in the tubules of the kidney and thereby reducing the excretion of lithium.

Police are trying to determine if men suspected of robbing a Detroit pharmacy are connected to other pharmacy robbings around Oakland County. The men were arrested after police used a GPS tracker on stolen oxycontin to find the men. It started Thursday morning when two pharmacy burglaries were reported in Independence Township and Orion Township. These alerts prompted Auburn Hills Police to do a quick patrol around their area pharmacies. When officers pulled into the parking lot of the Ultimate Medical Pharmacy on North Opdyke Road, they found suspects trying to break open a back door. The suspects separated as soon they saw police and drove off in a white Trailblazer and a Chrysler 300. Police drove after the Chrysler which lead to a high-speed chase on I-75. Troy and Madison Heights Police laid down spike-stop strips to try and stop the suspects but they got away and police called off the chase.Shortly after that, at around 8 a.m., an armed robbery took place at a Rite Aid in Detroit near Livernois Avenue. The thieves got away with money and oxycontin. The oxycontin, however, had a GPS tracking device which lead police to the suspects. "The larger pharmaceutical companies are going to this type of security system so it makes it a little more difficult for the average robber to just get away with whatever now," explains Sgt. Mike Woody of the Detroit Police. Police arrested four men at a home on Fenelon Street near Seven Mile Road. At that home, police also conducted a search inside a white Trailblazer. Investigators are looking into whether these burglaries are connected.

Hello everyone,
I am fairly new to PF. I found this website about a week ago. DH and I lost our daughter on Jan. 28, 2008. She was born on Aug 22, 2007 at 28 weeks due to Preeclampsia. I would love to have a FAF walk in my area. We are about an hour southeast of Pittsburgh. I have emailed everyone on my email list and have quite a few people who would be willing to help. I have had a few suggestions (and really love the idea) of planning something in honor of Emma around the time of her birthday. I know that most of the walks are being held in May as it is Awareness Month, but can we still try to plan a walk for August?
I am also open to any other ideas for fundraising events it wouldn't have to be a walk, but I would definately like to do something in our area and have it in the month of August.
I would also love to hear from anyone else that is in the Pittsburgh and surronding area if you would be interested in joining us.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks closed out a historic week with another day of gains on Friday, as the Dow hit yet another record closing high on a payrolls report that surpassed even the most optimistic forecasts.
The S&P 500 climbed for its sixth straight day, putting it less than 1 percent from an all-time closing high. The benchmark S&P index rose for its ninth positive week out of the last 10. All three major stock indexes racked up their biggest weekly gains since the first week of the year.
Hiring in the United States jumped in February with non-farm payrolls adding 236,000 last month, surging past expectations for a gain of 160,000 jobs and even topping the highest forecast of analysts polled by Reuters. The unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent, the lowest since December 2008.
"This was a lot higher than anyone was expecting, and it definitely shines light on the fact that the economy is improving," said Owen Fitzpatrick, head of U.S. equities at Deutsche Bank Asset and Wealth Management in New York.
"While in the near term, we may be overdue for a pause, given how much we've run. It is very constructive to see numbers improve like this," Fitzpatrick said.
For the year, the Dow is up 9.9 percent, while the S&P 500 is up 8.8 percent and the Nasdaq is up about 7.5 percent.
The day's gains were offset by a decline in some bank shares in the wake of the Federal Reserve's "stress test" results. While the results were largely positive and as expected, with the Fed saying the biggest U.S. banks had enough capital to withstand a severe economic downturn, investors took the opportunity to book profits in the group.
Bank of America Corp
Goldman Sachs Group Inc
Citigroup Inc
"Financials have had a good run, so people are selling on the news, except for Citi, which was a real outlier on the positive side," Fitzpatrick said.
The S&P financial sector index <.SPSY>, which had climbed more than 10 percent this year, was up just 0.3 percent in late afternoon trading. The index, however, hit a 52-week intraday high earlier in the day.
Still, investors were mindful of the possibility of a bigger pullback after the steady gains this year. The last correction for the benchmark S&P 500 index was nearly a year ago - a 9.9 percent slide from April highs to the start of June.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> rose 67.58 points, or 0.47 percent, to 14,397.07, another record closing high. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.SPX> advanced 6.92 points, or 0.45 percent, to 1,551.18. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.IXIC> gained 12.28 points, or 0.38 percent, to end at 3,244.37.
Earlier in the session, the Dow climbed as high as 14,413.17 - a fresh intraday record. Nine of the 30 Dow components hit new highs for the year, including General Electric Co
For the week, both the Dow and the S&P 500 closed up 2.2 percent, while the Nasdaq rose 2.4 percent. It was the best weekly performance for all three since the first week of the year.
About 65 percent of the stocks traded on both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq closed higher. Roughly 6.27 billion shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and NYSE MKT, below the daily average so far this year of about 6.45 billion shares.
Wholesale inventories added to the stream of positive economic data. In January, U.S. wholesale inventories increased 1.2 percent to $504.4 billion - the fastest pace of growth since December 2011. The strong January reading followed a revised 0.1 percent rise in December 2012.

Beef pot roast
As winter, we hope, starts winding down toward spring in this part of the world, I'm still trying to get in a few more hearty cold-weather dishes before the flowers blossom and the trees start to bud.
One such favorite is beef pot roast, a dish that stands at the other end of the sophistication spectrum from tenderloin or standing rib, but one that can bring plenty of pleasure in its own right. Made from tougher cuts that can range from shoulder to rump, it's usually braised - simmered long and slow in a closed pot with aromatic liquids.
This time-consuming process may sacrifice the hot-pink pleasures of medium-rare beef, but it more than makes up for that in flavor, both from the beef itself - tough cuts tend to be more intensely flavored than the more tender, expensive and sought-after rib cuts and tenderloins - and from the braising liquids that infuse the meat with aromatics during the long, closed braising period.
The basic principle of pot roasting is so simple that it hardly requires a recipe: Brown a chunk of beef in a little oil, flavored if you wish with salt, pepper, garlic and onion. Pop it into a dutch oven or other heavy, ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid with a small amount of liquid, and cook at low temperature for a long time. During cooking, add vegetables if you like. That's pretty much the whole story, and you can even skip the browning step if you want to save a few calories, although you'll make some sacrifice in color and flavor.
I focused on the braising liquid in a pot roast the other day, fine-tuning it with a few non-traditional ingredients in almost homeopathic doses (tomato paste and soy sauce, to add richness and a touch of umami, the Japanese "fifth flavor;" and a dash of hot sauce just to liven things up a bit), and thought the result was exceptionally fine. I'll outline the process below, with the strong caveat that you're welcome to follow my exact proportions, but you'll likely achieve just as much success if you modify it with changes to suit your taste. In short, it's an easily altered and very forgiving recipe.
INGREDIENTS: (Serves two)
2-4 pound (about 1 to 2 kilos) beef chuck or shoulder roast.
Black pepper
3 or 4 garlic cloves
2 to 4 tablespoons (30 to 60ml) olive oil
1/4 cup (60 ml) dry red wine
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon good-quality hot sauce (Cholula Mexican, Sriracha Vietnamese or Indonesian sambal oelek, for example)
1 stalk celery
1 bay leaf
1 medium or 2 small baking potatoes
2 carrots
1 medium-size sweet onion
1. Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Generously season the beef with salt and pepper. Peel and smash the garlic cloves and put them in the dutch oven with the olive oil. Cook over high heat until the garlic sizzles. Put in the beef, sear quickly on all sides, then reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking, turning the meat often, until it's well browned.
2. When the meat is nicely browned, pour off a little of the accumulated beef fat and olive oil in the pan, if you're concerned about calories; then turn heat back to high and pour in the red wine, turning the meat once or twice and scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up any browned bits, until the liquid has reduced to a syrupy glaze.
3. While the meat is browning, mix together the beef broth, tomato paste, soy sauce and hot sauce. After you've reduced the red wine, turn heat to low and pour in this liquid, adding a little water if necessary so the level of liquid comes about halfway up the sides of the meat. Break the celery stalk in half and put the pieces in; add the bay leaf. Cover and place in the preheated oven and cook for a total of about two hours, turning the meat every half-hour or so.
4. While the meat simmers, peel the baking potatoes and the carrots. Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and the carrots into thick "coins." Put them in a saucepan with lightly salted water to cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until they're crisp-tender. Peel the onion and cut it in half across its equator; cut each half into six or eight wedges. When you estimate that the meat has about 45 minutes to go, drain the potatoes and carrots and add them to the simmering liquid; put in the onion chunks.
5. Continue cooking the meat with the vegetables. For the last 30 minutes or so, particularly if there seems to be a lot of liquid in the pan, set the lid askew and turn the oven up to 375F (190C) so it will reduce a bit. (Keep an eye on it, though, and make sure it doesn't dry out.)
6. At the end of cooking, remove the beef from the liquid and carve it into thick slices. It should be almost falling-apart tender. I lift out the vegetables with a slotted spoon and serve them separately in a warm bowl, with the possible exception of the celery, which may be so cooked down that it needs to be discarded. You can put some of the liquid in a gravy boat or just use it as a light jus on the meat platter.
MATCHING WINE: Red wine with beef, of course, and just about any red would do, although I like to turn to "comfort wines" from Northern Italy or Southern France. This time around, it was a delight with the Languedoc red blend featured in the Feb. 28 30 Second Wine Advisor, Domaine d'Aupilhac 2004 Coteaux du Languedoc.

One word describes your company: PERFECT
The other day a package arrived at my door step. It was a new Packer Hat. I returned mine a smaller size that I hardly wore. The new hat fits great. I look forward to wearing it for many years to come here in SW Florida, don't let the area fool you, it does get very cold at times in the winter months. And we are expecting a wetter winter than usual plus all the rain in the summer months. It will be the 1st hat I grab.
There is one word that Describes your company "PERFECT"
Thank you,
Joseph Beniamino
The warmest, most wind and weather proof hat
A True Gift of Love
A few years ago I was introduced to the Filson catalog by a friend. I ordered a tin cloth packer hat and wore it every chance I got - and then replaced it when my middle son started wearing it at hunting camp. I'm sure he'll pass it on to his son too since your quality is so great.

So- the American Heart Association would like to help you out with this. Make it more.... fun.... Hmmm. Well, anyhoo, the target rate for chest compressions per minute is 100. So- the association is giving you some music to do this by. Really??? Cuz the first thing I'm going to do is grab the right "soundtrack" to give CPR to a needy person. But- nonetheless, here are the songs to "live" by.

I have only one thing pinned on my Pinterest board, ever since AnnieEek sent me the invitation I begged off her. I've learned a couple cool ideas from the stuff other people have made. But I can't say I have used Pinterest to its fullest. Hence, I'm not a complete addict.
$150 is not bad, L, although that doesn't cover the lost time and frustration from the ordeal. My camera repair is costing me that much, and you're getting a whole car up and running again for the same amount. Does that make you feel any better about it?
Chrissy, glad to hear you're down with your therapist. It would be so hard to be sitting there with a therapist you don't respect, thinking, "Who's this clown?" I did have that happen to me once. My therapist was a Buddhist (with whom I typically get on famously), and he basically started preaching to me about how I needed more spirituality in my life. I was like, "Um, no. My problem isn't that I don't meditate enough. It's that I've been dating a sadistic d-bag and I need to figure out how to wrest myself from this toxic relationship." But anyway, I'm glad to hear first session went well.
I got a lot of compliments on the thong I wore over my jeans today.

No fast moves for the Taurus pet. This is a lethargic, even lazy animal that would much rather sleep than run around! Therefore, be sure that your pet's bed is comfortable, with a super-soft blanket thrown in for good measure.
Pampering the Taurus pet is rule number one! These animals love to eat, too, so see to it that Fido's food is fresh and tasty and that Kitty's bowl is swimming in fish. The Taurus pet is also fond of physical touch, which is why you should pat them regularly and brush their coat slowly and lovingly.
Not much for exercise, either, you shouldn't expect your Taurus pet to run over the hill and through the woods -- they may not even want to run around the yard! Lounging around is the name of their game. These animals can be persistent and stubborn as well, and if they could talk, they'd probably be arguing more often than not. That said, they do appreciate the comforts of home and are loyal to their masters for this very reason; a Taurus pet is highly unlikely to run away. Since they like to eat so much, keep an eye on your pet to ensure they don't get too fat.
Lastly, this tolerant and gentle pet makes for a great companion for kids.

I've had a front-row seat to addiction. I have watched the people closest to me battle the dragon. Some have been a lot more successful than others. All will tell you that it is a daily struggle -- though some days are a lot easier -- and that no addict is ever "recovered," only recovering.
Remember Otis Nixon? He was the base-stealing speed merchant patrolling the outfield for nine different major-league franchises over 17 seasons. I first caught wind of Nixon as a Montreal Expo but his greatest baseball glory came with the Atlanta Braves. He once swiped six bases in a single game -- that's a record. His robbery of a potential Andy Van Slyke homer is still the stuff of highlights and legend more than 20 years later. He routinely smoked pitchers and catchers and has the most stolen bases of any major leaguer who was never an All-Star.
The swiping and smoking of a different sort now have Otis Nixon back in the spotlight.
Here's a little more on Nixon's running afoul of the law.

Wet-Dry World Warp
- hint
For this warp, the water level needs to be as low as it can get. Walk around the base of the level until you find the brick structure that is made of several steps. Stand at the base of the structure, in the corner between the highest and lowest steps. The game will warp you to the top of the structure that holds the entrance to the cannon. You can also warp from the cannon to the other structure.
