This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?

To be or not to be?
No one argues that the 6th and 7th century Hiberno-Britannians with the name Arthur didn't exist, and this is because they either have genealogies (Arthur ap Pedr) or are attested to in trusted historical documents (Artúr mac Áedán, Artúr mac Coaning, Arthur ap Bicoir). Yet Arthur of Badon is attested to in two historical documents (and some dubious genealogies), but we are told these cannot be given as evidence, because they are not contemporary (Dumville) or the Arthur they contain isn't historical (Higham et al). Adomnán's Vita Columba (Life of Columba – c.690), which mentions Artúr mac Áedán, isn't contemporary either, having been written sixty or so years after Artúr mac Áedán's death. The difference is in the time between their lives and when they were written about, with Arthur of Badon being 300 years after the (possible) events and the others being much nearer in time; not to mention all the mythical stories and sites that are argued to belong to this same 'Arthur of Badon'.
Yet those who have concluded Arthur of Badon didn't exist do not relate the fantastical stories and the onomastic and topographical sites to these other historical Arthurs as proof that they also didn't exist. Why not? Because they are not in the H.B.? Because they don't claim to have killed 960/940 men? Because they didn't have legends written about them (although some argue Artúr mac Áedán (Barber) or even Arthur ap Pedr (Dark) are the bases for all the above)? Because they don't have onomastic and topographical sites named after them … as far as we know? Or is it because they didn't have Triads written about them (even though some of the triads mention Arthur but not Badon, and many are later additions)?
Well, in Artúr mac Áedán's case it's because of a 'reliable' source and Arthur ap Pedr two sources, (Arthur ap Bicoir is still open for debate – see THIS blog), and it's mainly down to lack of reliable genealogy and all the other 'stuff' attached to him in Arthur of Badon's case.
What if we didn't have Arthur ap Pedr's genealogies (British and Irish) or other historical sources telling us of these other Arthurs? What if they too had been lost? Would they too then be deemed mythical or folkloric, because Arthur of the fantastical stories was? Would they be seen as mere insertions into stories of the same mythical Arthur? Or would it have the opposite affect and Arthur of the H.B. and A.C. would be looked on in a more favourable light? It's hard to answer of course.
If the theories that Arthur of Badon didn't exist were correct, then how does this affect these other Arthurs, historical and mythical? Well, it doesn't, because if he didn't exist they are all still there … obviously. What changes with regards to these others if Arthur of Badon did exist? If he were then inserted into history? In theory nothing. If the other historical Arthurs can exist without affecting the fantastical stories one jot, which is what is suggested, and they were named after the mythical/folkloric figure, then saying Arthur of Badon existed would have no affect either, if you take out of the equation that it was he who spawned the early folkloric material or that these others were named after the Badon man.
Of course, if those other historical Arthurs were named after Arthur of Badon and he didn't exist, then neither would they … or not with those names. Or if the early Welsh stories came from him, they would cease to exist also, (unless the hero was originally another name). But if the early Welsh stories aren't about a historical Arthur of Badon, as Padel, Higham and Green argue, just as they're not about Arthur ap Pedr or Artúr mac Áedán as far as we know, but only use or have the same name, then, if Arthur of Badon was named by the same process, why couldn't he also exist?
Not a striking resemblance!
Even Geoffrey of Monmouth's work doesn't bear much resemblance to the Welsh fantastical Arthur, and he seems to only use some associated names, such as Gwenhwyfar, Cai and Bedwyr and others from other eras that the Welsh tales attached to Arthur willy-nilly, as well as Badon and Camlann (Camblan). If he used anything else that he says came from a "very ancient book" from Britannia, and Britannia was Wales (as opposed to the argument that it was Brittany), then it's been lost. (As a side note, Britannia could indeed be Wales as there are a few medieval document that call it such – see Blake and Lloyd, 2003). Did this 'ancient book' show a more historical figure? We'll never know, but it should be noted that Geoffrey specifically refers to this 'ancient book' when he gets to the conflict between Mordred and Arthur in Winchester and the Battle of Camblan. (History of the Kings of Britain, Book XI, Ch.1, Ch.2). This could have been his only use of it? We also have no indication of just how ancient it might have been. However, if this was the use of it, it means his 'ancient' source showed Arthur fighting in civil war, not against the Anglo-Saxons.
The Welsh tales only relate to Arthur being at Badon in one instance, created after Geoffrey of Monmouth's work. Apart from this story (The Dream of Rhonabwy – Late-12th/Early-13th centuries) he has nothing to do with Saxons in the pre-Galfridian tradition. In fact, he bears no resemblance to any historical Arthur that we know of, including the soldier in the H.B.. It means, if he is mythological, or by the 9th century an historicized mythical figure, Nennius inserted him without making any reference or giving any similarities to the known Arthur figure of the stories and did it in a bardic, battle poetry way. A style he uses no where else. If this is the case, he was a) being extremely clever b) his sources had already made this figure into a 'real' person with accompanying poetry c) he had more realistic folkloric stories we no longer posses d) it's about a real Arthur of Badon, e) it's about some other Arthur replaced in time. f) it's a mixture of some of the above.
Weight of evidence v popular evidence
There is the argument that the weight of the evidence is in favour of a mythical or folkloric Arthur. It is, and if the Y Gododdin, H.B. and A.C. are discounted as evidence, then the scales tip completely that way, and there isn't really anything left for an Arthur of Badon. But it depends on what weight 'popular' belief has against actual evidence (evidence that is interpreted differently by different people), if these three documents are not discounted. Is amount of evidence equal to its 'weight'? This could be like saying that a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold, because there's a lot more of it. Perhaps a better analogy might be a pound of gold foil wrapped feathers, and, as we know, all that glitters isn't gold. Once you have concluded (or believe) that the H.B. Arthurian section to be either made-up or that Nennius (and his audience) believed the Arthur in question was historical when he wasn't, and that the A.C. simply followed in the steps of the H.B.; or that Nennius took another Arthur and deliberately (or accidentally) placed him earlier than he was, then that is that for Arthur being at Badon … unless there was a third battle of Badon no one's aware of. (Complicated, ain't it!?)
On the point of the mention of Arthur in Y Gododdin, there isn't agreement on its dating, which is why I've been reluctant to include it here. John Koch's (The Gododdin of Aneirin, 1997), gives a 6th/7th century date – which would make it the first mention of an Arthur – but not all scholars agree. Some believe it could be a later interpolation (Charles-Edwards et al) possibly not being attached until the 8th or 9th centuries with Graham Isaac going for the 10th century. Thomas Green sees the killing of a vast amount of men as described in the H.B. battle list as proof of Arthur's mythical status and why he was named in it. Taken out of context, it does seem like that. Within the H.B. it is one of the least fantastical things. Even if Koch is wrong and it is a later interpolation, this only works if you believe the H.B. to be about a mythical figure. It's a circular argument. If the H.B. is about a real person, and the comparison in Y Gododdin refers to this, then it is, in the interpolator's mind, still comparing Gwawrddur to a real figure. What it does mean is that what Koch sees as a near contemporary source mentioning him, isn't. (For more on this see THIS blog).
I find that the 6th and 7th century Arthurs' name giving to Gael descended people and not Britons is explained away too readily, by both camps. By elements of the 'historical Arthur' camp it is a name the British wouldn't use out of awe or respect for Arthur of Badon, but the Gaels would use the name because they didn't have the same reverence for it. This 'historic' argument doesn't make much sense, to me at least, because Artúr mac Áedán supposedly came from the union of a Gael and Briton, which, most likely was for political reasons; would he name a son Arthur knowing it wouldn't go down well with the wife or her family? Maybe, I suppose. But in Demetia (Dyfed), Arthur ap Pedr may have been more Briton than Gael, for all we know, living in a Gaelic dominated (or cultural) area (as could have Arthur ap Bicoir if he's a historical figure) and still the name was given. (Besides, the Britons would name their sons after famous military leaders as demonstrated earlier). But no Briton or even later Welshman would use the name for their princes and the first to give his son it would be an English king with a Welsh family name, Henry (Tudor) VII in the 15th century. The Welsh said Henry was the 'Son of Prophesy', so perhaps he thought naming his son Arthur would help that prophesy along? It didn't, and Arthur died young.
For the 'mythical or folkloric Arthur' camp these Arthurs were named after a mythical or folkloric figure, and the British wouldn't do this for the same reasons of awe and respect (Batram). This could make sense, to some degree, except the British would use mythical names if Bran is anything to go by, as well as Belin (Apollo Belinus), Mabon (Apollo Maponos), Conmail (Apollo Cunomaglus), Mael (Deus Maglus), and Nudd (Mars Nodens). (My thanks to Chris Gwinn who pointed these out). But, as I've already said, if they were named after some mythical or folkloric figure (maybe one that covered both cultures?), then why couldn't an earlier Arthur (of Badon fame) be named for the same reason, with him also been of Gael descent and having nothing to do with his mythical/folkloric counterpart apart from his name? The argument doesn't follow for the name giving.
There is another point here: if it is thought a mythical/folkloric Arthur by the Early-9th century had become historicized, then the Britons weren't naming their sons Arthur because he was mythical or folkloric by this stage. Either way – be he historical or mythical/folkloric – he was, to them, a real man. They liked naming their sons after famous leaders, and, as shown above, they had no problem naming their sons after mythical figures. So what was the problem with Arthur or his name?
Etymologically speaking …
Most etymologists would argue that the Gaels would have to get the name Artúr via the Britons using the Insular Latin Arturius (from Classical Latin Artorius), as it wouldn't be a name they would use directly because it was Latin. However, Arthur of Demetia's father was called Pedr (Peter), from Latin PETRVS, so they would use Latin names, it's just that Artorius/Arturius doesn't appear to be a common name in Britain … but neither does Pedr. If it wasn't via Latin, the problem, as it is with Brittonic, is creating this name from two Goidelic words that would produce Artúr. Whilst there are many 'Art' names in Irish, there are none, apart from Artúr, ending with 'úr'. Old Irish 'úr', can mean 'noble':- (c) of persons (a) noble, generous, (b) fair, active. It can also mean `evil'. However, there are no attested names anywhere that use úr as the second element, so it would have to be unique. That's not out of the question, but it makes it harder to argue.
You see many websites putting forward 'Arth+gwr' – Brittonic *arto+guiros ('Bear Man') as the meaning of the name, but that should produce Arthwr. You also see 'Arth+rix' – Brittonic *arto+rigos ('Bear King') but that should make *Arthir/*Erthir or *Arthric. At present, until Chris Gwinn shows us his new theory, the name is more likely to be derived from Arturius, with Arturus (from the star Arcturus) being another possibility. (More later).
In another blog I explored the possibility that the Britons didn't use the name because it was seen as an Hiberno-British (not Irish) name, but even this isn't satisfactory. Whatever the reasons for the Brittonic speaking Britons not using the name, it may have been for different reasons at different points in history. Could it initially have been because it was seen as a name used by Goidelic speakers, then it gained a superstition around it? I've recently wondered if it could be because it seemed like a hybrid name to the British that didn't make total sense to them? To the Gaels it could have made some kind of sense even if they wouldn't normally use úr as the second part of a name. To the Britons (and later Welsh) it might have sounded like 'Bear-ur'. (That letter u is a long vowel in Brittonic and Old Welsh. In Middle and Modern Welsh the u becomes similar to a long vowel e, which is why Cymru (Wales) is pronounced something like Kumry). It would need further investigation by someone who knows a lot more than I (Chris Gwinn?) as to whether there were other compound names coming from either Insular Latin or older Brittonic that, as they mutated, didn't make total sense, so were only used once. Names that mutated completely to make no sense may not have been a problem?
In the penultimate part of this blog I will look at one other piece of evidence I have not seen explored (but that doesn't mean it hasn't been!) that could be used by both the historical and mythical/folkloric camps.
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to your thoughts, comments and corrections.

Yoga, Meditation, Healthy Recipes & Natural Lifestyle Tips
3 Ways to Improve Memory Naturally
A quick, sharp memory is a useful tool that comes in handy throughout our lives. Whether we're trying to remember someone's name, making a shopping list, learning a new language, or studying for exams, our ability to recall assists us with practically everything we do in a day—even remembering where we put our keys!
According to ayurveda, an ancient health system that means "life science," our bodies become dryer and less flexible with age. Our joints stiffen and our eyesight weakens due to this dryness. Similarly, this dryness affects our minds and we can forget things more easily. This erosion can begin as early as our twenties—and when we neglect our health, it speeds up even more.
Fortunately, ayurveda offers simple remedies that are easy for anyone to apply. I often turn to ayurveda as a guide to health and healing in my own life because it includes positive lifestyle choices that are affordable, practical, and straightforward.
Apply these simple practices to sharpen your own memory:
Practice yoga asanas
The regular practice of yoga asanas is a boon for the mind. It improves concentration on a cellular level by assisting the body in breaking down carbohydrates into glucose—the primary fuel that your brain uses to focus. Upside down poses are especially helpful. Plough, Shoulderstand, Downward Dog, and all inverted poses increase your brain's power by nourishing its tissues with fresh blood. In addition, yoga asanas have a relaxing effect on the psyche, and work to reduce stress and balance emotions—two things that cloud the mind.
Rejuvenate with herbs
Brahmi, also known by its Latin name Bacopa monnieri, is considered the greatest herb in ayurveda for revitalizing the brain's cells. It removes toxins and blockages within the nervous system, improves circulation, and has a calming, nurturing effect on the heart and mind. For over 3000 years, brahmi has been used in ayurvedic medicine to improve memory, increase alertness, and ward off the insomnia, restlessness, and mental deterioration that come with age. I have included this wonderful herb in my Brain Boost supplement to help your memory function at its best. Brain Boost is made from 100% wild-crafted fresh brahmi leaves and prepared according to traditional ayurvedic principles.
Add antioxidants
Ayurveda emphasizes the important role that foods play in keeping our bodies and minds strong, healthy, and free from disease. Antioxidants in particular have the amazing ability to protect us from damage caused by dangerous free radicals. In excess, and without the support of a balanced diet, free radicals can speed up the aging process and contribute to memory loss. Although some free radicals are a normal byproduct of metabolism, most are born from pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke, and pesticides. Fight free radical damage by adding fresh, antioxidant-rich foods such as blueberries, cranberries, kidney beans, and Red Delicious apples to your diet.

Surprise Yourself
One way to get better at yoga asanas is to imagine it. While I'm not advocating pushing too hard, sometimes just imagining you can go further into a pose will get you there. It gives you the will to try just a little harder. For example, if you're doing Bow, visualize the beauty of the pose: the graceful arc formed by the arch of the back, the legs lifted high, feet moving back to open the chest. Then make your body into that shape—not violently or suddenly, but using your intelligence, your breath, and gradual movements from the inside to achieve the best pose possible.
So next time you're doing a pose you find difficult, instead of doing it halfheartedly, thinking, "I can't do this pose," try this little trick of mine. Say to yourself, "I can do it." Use your mind's eye to see yourself a little deeper in the pose and then go there.
By the way, this will also help you hold a pose longer. Summon up your will power, take deep, even breaths, and see yourself holding it longer, a second at a time. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you see just how well you can do!
Relax into Yoga
Want to make your asana session more enjoyable and more beneficial? Then relax as you practice. Whether you do yoga for exercise, to relieve stress, or both, you'll get more out of it if you relax. Don't stress about how stiff you are; don't strain to get into a pose. Just do your best and enjoy it.
If you're always thinking about where you "should" be, you'll miss what's going on in your body at the moment. But that awareness is the key to practicing asanas correctly. So instead of worrying about how inflexible you are, just notice your tight spots. Watch your breath; notice how it affects your body, and let it help you open and release into the pose. Observe your mind—keep it focused on the pose and the breath. Don't let it bully you into pushing too far. It's best to hold a pose just this side of your limit. As you breathe and relax into the pose, you'll be able to hold it longer and gradually extend your boundaries
You can even relax in strengthening poses. While contracting certain muscles, relax those that don't need to work. Don't hold unnecessary tension in your face or jaw, in your neck or shoulders. This tension blocks the flow of energy in the body that yoga is designed to enhance. And it's that free-flowing energy that makes you feel good. So relax into yoga and yoga will help you relax.

T-Mobile's customer base surpassed the 50 million mark as aggressive promotions once again stoked growth. Its profit was helped by a gain from a spectrum licensing deal.
AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile all allegedly "crammed" customers with third-party charges that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, Senate report says.
The company generated a loss during the three months that ended in June -- a contrast to the small profit a year earlier.

Come Jan. 2 new adult drivers will have to get a learner's permit for three-months before they can get a driver's license.
Highway safety issues, including the need to better understand how to operate a vehicle, and learning through practice driving prompted the need for this requirement, according to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
This is the first time in the 106 years that the DMV has issued licenses that it will require learner's permits for adults.
"Cars are more sophisticated today, traveling roads can be more dangerous for inexperienced drivers and some form of a learning period is required now for those over 18, just as we have done for those under 18," said DMV Commissioner Melody A. Currey when DMV made the announcement of the change in early December.
The DMV expects that more than 30,000 people annually will be affected by this change. These include teens who delayed licensing to avoid the state's restrictions on 16- and 17-year-old drivers. The 18- and 19-year-olds this year account for about 11,000 who will need a learner's permit as an adult.
The new requirement changes 106 years of history in which an adult had no required training period to complete prior to obtaining a driver's license.
Highlights of the new requirement:
- Beginning Jan. 1, 2013, the state will require an adult learner's permit for new drivers who are 18 years old and over other than those holding a valid driver's license from another state.
- The adult learner's permit must be held a minimum of 90 days prior to taking a road test.
- Applicants will get the adult learner permit when they pass the 25-question knowledge test and vision test.
- They will be required under state law to take the current eight-hour safe driving practices course at driving school. Passed in 2008, the law mandates that new first-time license holders must attend this course at a driving school. The cost is set by state law at $125.
- While holding the adult learner's permit, they will need in the vehicle a qualified trainer who is either a licensed driving instructor or any driver who is over 20 years-old who has held a license for four or more consecutive years and has not been suspended at any time in the last four years.
- Anyone over 18 who has taken the 25-question knowledge test prior to Jan. 1, 2013, will have until April 1 to obtain a license and will not need to get a learner's permit.
- Until April 1, any adult receiving on-the-road training with a licensed driving instructor does not need an adult learner's permit.
many states offer some version of a learner's permit for adults, Connecticut will be among a few that require it. Safety experts applaud Connecticut's step toward having a required driving practice period for adults.
"There is more license delay than there used to be, so there are more novices 18 and older, and they are vulnerable during the learner period. Connecticut has been in the forefront of GDL policy making, and has one of the strongest licensing systems in the country. This new policy extends their leadership in protecting Connecticut drivers," said Allan F. Williams, an authority on driving safety and an associate of Preusser Research Group, in Trumbull, which does safety studies for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Dr. David S. Shapiro, trauma surgeon at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center and researcher in crash prevention, added, "Automobile collisions are frequent causes of injuries—both mild and severe—we see every day in our trauma centers. The addition of an adult learner's permit can help to add confidence and safety to the inexperienced but mature driver."
The new law also carries a safety benefit for the teens who may try to avoid a training period when 16 or 17 years old, said Dr. Brendan Campbell, medical director of the Pediatric Trauma Program at Connecticut Children's. "Now they will be required to obtain additional driving experience under conditions of lower crash risk," Campbell said.
The DMV initiative is among more than a dozen new state laws that will take affect come the New Year. Some of the new laws will: change the fees telecommunication firms are charged by the state to help support the Emergency 911 system, create a new Class D Misdemeanor penalty under state law and reduce some of the penalties for misdemeanor crimes, give free lifetime passes to state parks, forests, and recreational facilities to any resident who is a disabled wartime veteran and reduce some probate court fees.
The above report is based on a press release from the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles.

I would go to counseling with him but I don't know when we'd go. We have no babysitters. He also still insists that he's only seeing her because of the short term memory loss. And I was completely kidding about him sleeping with her. It's just that nothing would surprise me anymore.
That is sad about your mom. I don't have any dislusions of dbf being any kind of wonderful at this point. I feel like he really misrepresented himself to me during the time that I thought we were getting to know each other. He acted like he agreed with so many of my ideals that I now see, in real life, that he does not apply. I honestly do not know where I would even begin to leave him. It's so complicated, as it always is I am sure.
I think he really wants to be a good person. But I think he will never get there unless he takes a long look in the mirror and recognizes his mistakes. He has an excuse for everything. He never says, "I totally effed up and I'm sorry."
Where am I going with this? I have no idea. Just thank you, Lydia, for your thoughts.

Bridget, I don't know how you arrived at where you are now and I never know what to say or how to say it without looking like a know-it-all or a judgemental jerk, so I don't say anything at all. We all make choices and make deals and compromise to get what we need so I don't presume to judge, but it makes me sad for you that this man seems incapable of participating fully in your shared life. And like Lydia, I hope that one day this man or another will treat you with the courtesy and respect you deserve.

"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
And Lydia, I am so very sorry that you had to be aware of that at such a young age. It must have been difficult/confusing for you, especially later when trying to figure out relationships of your own. As a child of divorce, it took me a really long time to work out what a good relationship would mean for me. In some ways, it would be harder to exist in a situation where nothing was ever resolved, made better, and watching your mom exist in that.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
The way I grew up, I thought my life was totally normal. My mom asked me, when I was 7, if it bothered me when I questioned the presence of the mistress that came along on our vacation. I stammered a little and said I guess if it didn't bother her, I could deal with it. She'd been my babysitter, so I was comfortable with her. I've had to consciously make an effort to not date men who are ridiculously distant and hard-to-please, though.
Speaking of ridiculous, I just read a comment elsewhere that people who spell the word "ridiculous" incorrectly as "rediculous" are just referring to something insanely red. I like that, and I think I'll just mentally insert that whenever I see the wrong spelling. Oh, and if you type it often enough in one paragraph, it looks wrong no matter what.
Lydia - Your post about your parents reminds me of two things.
1) My BFF's very first memory is being at the home of her father's mistress. It hurts my heart that that is the very first thing that she remembers about life...........
2) My aunt and uncle are still married after his long term affair as well. My aunt lives in Arizona and my uncle lives in Michigan.. (with his mistress...) They have been married over 50 years, and when I asked my mom why they were still married if he is with another woman, and they live so far apart, and never see each other, she responded with "Out of obligation..."
My aunt has Multiple Sclerosis, and I guess my uncle feels obligated to see that she has insurance, etc (he's a Veteran). So they stay married, she stays insured, and he sends her a check every month....
Have any of you heard from Agatha?
All these stories about loveless marriages make me sad...I feel like I may be headed there. But we're really trying. I've been trying to clean better (yeah this is a major hangup for DH and while I feel like it shouldn't affect our marriage so much, I still try...plus it feels good to accomplish something) and I do little things for DH. The other day he complained that Josh ate all the "good" Halloween candy LOL so I went out and bought DH his own stash. Last night Josh went to my inlaws and DH and I went out and had fun.
I talked to a friend of mine and went over some of the issues and she said instead of doing things because DH wants you to, do it for yourself...like with the cleaning, do it for your own good, then you won't feel like you're doing it as a chore for DH. It kind of made sense to me.
That kind of makes sense Kate.
My DH is a neat freak. I'm not a slob but not as bad as he is. I drive him a bit crazy but try hard most of the time to clean up. Since we both work, we both clean. I do like having a clean and neat home...but really I do it mostly for him and not so much to make him happy BUT I know that if he is happy MY life is easier and happier.
After so long with a person, you know their triggers and it's just easier for all if you try to avoid them. And its the daily little things that really do make a difference for us (especially since my DH is not romantic in a soap opera/romance novel sense...AT ALL).
My DH doesn't care about a picked up house AT ALL. It's almost like he doesn't even see it. I keep it clean most of the time, but the times where it's not, he just could care less.
Ashley - 25, Chris - 27, Elizabeth - 9-22-04, Alexis - 12-19-08
Wish mine were a bit more that way. I can't decorate alone because he cares deeply about how things look and is picky about placement and colors. So any house stuff we have to shop together. Can be a pain! And sometimes he steals my cup or water bottle on me if I get up to use the bathroom (he has gotten better there!).
Thank god we have pretty similar tastes! LOL
Dbf used to be really, really anal about the house being a certain way. And I used to keep it our apt in Hawaii spotless but that was only one room! Now I have a whole house and just can't keep up. He knows now that if he wants it that way, he's got to do it himself. I am much busier than him to have the time to keep it up to his standards. So now he's not so picky.
Ms Spy is just fine!
Awwww, you girls are so sweet!
Yup, I'm doing A-OK I've sort of taken a mini-vacation from the computer, and its cool how much I've been able to get done. No worries though, Bear and I are doing well, and I'll be back on APA shortly
Thank you so much for asking, though! I'm blushing.
Thanks, sunrider! I was wondering how A is doing!

NBA basketball has usually been a hard sell in Wisconsin. Outside of Milwaukee most hoops fans are more interested in college games than the Bucks. it hasnt helped that for the most part, the Bucks have usually fielded a mediocre team and hovered right around the edges of playoff contention every year.
Many pundits see the team as not making the playoffs this season. I'm not that pessimistic. The Bucks just barely made the playoffs last season and were quickly swept by Miami in the first round. you could tell that the team was splintered...some guys didnt want to be there. Managment decided to clean house and boy did they ever.
A new coach and 11 new players may be the biggest re-modeling job ever done to an NBA team in one off-season. And I think after an initial feeling-out process this team can be more than decent. They brought in some solid veterans like Caron Butler & OJ Mayo. Both can score...something the Bucks were clearly lacking last season. Two new point guards and Brandon Knight and Luke Ridnour. I like the veteran Ridnour more than Knight but both should be more than serviceable. Up front the Bucks are led by Larry Sanders (one of the best defenders in the league), Irsan Ilyasova and John Henson who should take a major step forward with more minutes. And I like the #1 draft pick. They may have caught lightning in a bottle with Giannis Antetokounmpo. He has looked very impressive in the pre-season and has earned some minutes off the bench.
I'm not saying this team is comparable to the Bulls or Heat...but as Herb Kohl said yesterday they will not be tanking games to get a higher draft pick like some teams are apparantly going to do this season. How that is allowed by the league is a topic for another day.
The Bucks begin the regular season Wednesday night in New York. You can hear the Bucks on Foxsports1390 & FM 93.9.

Columbia covers all the bases in the outdoor industry from outerwear, to sportswear, to footwear, to equipment and to accessories, we are confident that you will find what you need with Columbia.
Columbia is of the old guard, the way old guard. Based out of Portland, Columbia started as a hat distributor in 1938. Frustrated with poor deliveries by their manufacturers, they opted to shoulder the production load on their own. They did it well, so well that they expanded the product line to include outerwear, fishing vests and shirts. They have been outfitting the Pacific Northwest with high quality, affordable gear and clothing ever since.
Columbia has built their business by following three simple principles: innovation, quality and value. In 1982 Columbia introduced their Interchange System which literally launched them to front of the industry. The Interchange System, the essence of these principles, was initially made for hunting and featured a weatherproof outer shell and an insulating inner jacket that could be worn together or separately. This system offered three to four options in one parka. This revolutionary concept was so popular that Columbia applied the same system to their ski parka, the Bugaboo, which became an instant best seller. In 1991, they developed OmniTech®, their own proprietary waterproof breathable fabric.
Columbia has grown incredibly in the last 20 years and it basically boils down to innovation and value. When you buy Columbia, you can be confident that you are getting the latest and greatest at a great price. Columbia gear gives you every advantage you need without the sticker shock. At Altrec.com, we carry the topshelf of the Columbia product line. Each piece offered will give you the best in materials and design for your dollar.
The Men's Bugaboo Parka is the first Interchange System ski jacket by Columbia and has been exceeding expectation for the last 20 years. This classic has a burly seamsealed OmniTech Ultra Touch outer shell and a soft fleece liner. Wear them together in icecold conditions or apart for spring skiing or around town. This jacket will satisfy your needs in any conditions. The Bugaboo Parka is also made for women.
The Women's Criterion Parka is the intersection of innovation and value. It features seamsealed shell, powder skirt, insulated softshell liner, interior pockets, and pit zips. It is the latest in the Interchange System lineage. All the best materials, the latest features and a smart price - you can't beat it.
On the softer side lives the Men's Ballistic Windproof Fleece Jacket. As durable as a fleece gets, the Ballistic Fleece is made with OmniBloc windproof microfleece and features pitzips, reinforced flexible elbows and a stretch woven softshell overlay. All for under $100.
The Columbia product line brings together intelligent design, value and quality. Each product is made from the best materials, with the latest designs and at the best price. Shop at Altrec.com with confidence. Your Columbia Sportswear order through Altrec is guaranteed.
