Through the years, Rom-Com Korean dramas by no means failed to make us chortle, cry, and really feel so in love. It depicts the story of Jang Hye Sung (Lee Bo Young), a bold, sassy, thick-faced, comical, and materialistic public defender who becomes a lawyer after overcoming poverty and painful reminiscences from her childhood, comes to realizations about society and justice after assembly Park Soo Ha (Lee Jong Suk), a 19-year-old boy who reads other people's ideas.
I also love Queen Seondeok, Jumong and Seo Dong Yo. There are plenty of fusion sageuk these days however it is dependent upon one another taste. Seo Dong is actually a royal by blood, his mother who is a palace dancer have an affair with King Wadoek. There are also rumors that SM Entertainment turned down numerous roles for both Sooyoung and Seohyun. Ji Hae-soo (Gong Hyo-jin) goes by means of her first year fellowship in psychiatry at a University Hospital. She then falls in love with her handsome boss Cha Ji-Hun (Ji Sung) who appears to be the perfect man. One of the most profitable K-drama ever is Secret Garden, which contains a rationalizing Cinderella story between Gil Ra-im (Ha Ji-Won) a stunt lady and Kim Joo-gained (Hyun Bin) a excessive-finish division store CEO (a contemporary-day prince charming).
He tries to regain control over his life with the help of Oh Ri Jin (Hwang Jung-eum), a primary-year psychiatric resident who helps him secretly. She then is being disliked by her seniors, particularly the good-looking but strict Seo In-woo (Park Shi-hoo). Forget Romeo and Juliet, this is a lovely love story in the Baekje Dynasty between Seo Dong and Seon Hwa. Definitely Ballad of Seo Dong (sadly not as easily accessible with English subs), Queen Seon Duk, Illjimae, and Dong Yi. 🙂 Sungkyunkwan Scandal was additionally enjoyable, if people need one thing more gentle-hearted.
The timid, bullied Kang Ho-gu (Choi Woo-shik) had a crush on Do Do-hee (Uee) in their teenagers, when her magnificence and sports activities cred made her the most well-liked lady in highschool. Cha Do Hyun (Ji Sung) is a third-generation enterprise inheritor who developed dissociative id dysfunction. Whatever the reality could be, many K-pop followers especially Sones (like me) wish Tiffany, Sooyoung, and Seohyun the very best of their future endeavors.
Also called 'Another Oh Hae Young', it's a romantic comedy supernatural drama which follows two women with the same identify of Oh Hae Young (Seo Hyun-jin and Jeon Hye-bin) and a man named Park Do-kyung (Eric Mun) who has the flexibility to see the longer term and tries to get away from the two Oh Hae Young.

Vinson Mortgage St. Louis, MO
Managed Computer Services came through for us during a vulnerable period when our organization experienced a sudden loss of our IT manager and we were left with a potential disaster and no direction for our IT future. MCS was able to come in and quickly assess our immediate needs and put in place policies, procedures, software and equipment that saw us through this potential disaster and put us on the correct future course in the interim.
Curtis R. Chesterfield, MO
Thank you, the new computer David built is running well. Lots of room and I have found all my contacts. I have cleaned up a lot of stuff. Thank you again. You're the best! I wish I had more business to send your way. However, if a problem arises I will call you first.
Cindy E. O'Fallon, MO
Thanks for your professional opinions! I truly value them. With all the scams that are going around these days, you have NO idea who to trust. People are even impersonating the IRS – what's next.
Marilyn W. Dardenne Prairie, MO
Hi! This is Marilyn and I just wanted to let David know that I can't express my appreciation for all the hard work he did to recover my photos. I really appreciate the extra effort you all took to do that for me. Thank you very much. I would highly recommend you.

Personal Service, Security and Value
The single biggest benefit of MCS-StL is the personal service provided to me. When I have an issue, or a question, help is as near as the phone and response always prompt. That is in addition to the confidence that your internet security procedures are keeping my computer systems safe 24/7.
The only other service I've had is Norton. Satisfactory service, but seriously lacking in the personal touch and support you folks provide. Sure, your services cost a bit more -- but you are absolutely worth it, the value is there.
Get off the Fence and sign up with MCS-STL! I cannot say enough about the service and support they provide, it is worth the monthly fee -- and then some!

Weekly Meal Plan: Week Thirty One
Back with the weekly meal plans and, as usual, there are a lot of quick and easy dishes. The most surprising quick dish this week is the Parmesan and Leek Turkey. It looks like a million bucks and it's fancy enough to feed guests but it only takes 30 minutes. And you all know how much I love quick dinners. It seems to be the story of my life. I also got breakfast in here for dinner which I love. I would say every few weeks, we have some kind of breakfast food for dinner. It works and nobody complains. That is my next favourite thing, nobody complaining.
Go on and take a look and see if you can find something for dinner or at least something to keep in mind for another time.
Happy Cooking and have a great week!
Monday Let's start the week with breakfast for dinner! Every now again, we do have breakfast for dinner. It is always quick and easy and what a better way to start the week. This particular Mushroom and Parmesan Omelette is downright delicious!
Tuesday This is such an easy dinner. It's easy because, you guessed it, I used a jar of Red Pesto! Sometimes life does call for convenience and there is nothing wrong with popping a lid every once in a while. This Red Pesto Pasta Salad was put together from start to finish in just 15 minutes. Cook pasta, chop veggies and add the jar. Done!
Wednesday I think we are just about into soup season around here. Yes, there are still flip flops in the daytime but the evenings are cool enough to have a bowl of soup. I am keeping this Curried Cauliflower and Carrot Soup in mind for this week. A flavoursome and hearty soup!
Thursday Everybody needs at least one quick and easy dinner that they can put together in no time at all. Well, this recipes delivers on a dinner that can be put together in just 10 minutes! Plus, it's low on ingredients which makes for a quick and easy dinner ready to go in no time at all. Check out this Sheet Pan Chicken Dinner!
Friday Salmon is quite possibly my favourite fish. This Zesty Pan Seared Salmon is a super quick and tasty dish. Serve with just a salad if you like for a light dinner.
Saturday Lately we have been on a bit of a pizza bender. For weeks now, we have been making pizza at the weekends and, of course, it is loved be everyone. The kids love plain cheese, the husband anchovies and garlic and I love this Loaded Vegetable Pizza. Get it for your casual Saturday!
Sunday This Creamy Parmesan and Leek Turkey would be a great way to spend a Sunday lunch. To get a Sunday roast feel to this dish, you could roast a whole load of vegetables to have on the side.
Dessert Have you ever wanted to make Profiteroles but didn't know where to start? Well, I got an easy step-by-step guide here to help you along the way. They are not nearly as difficult as you may think and they deserve all the rave they get for sure. Easily one of my top desserts of all time!
Check back next week for some more delicious menu ideas!

Viruses, bacteria, and fungi appear to have the strongest link with Colony Collapse Disorder found so far, according to a new study published by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and university scientists.
The study was headed by Pennsylvania State University entomologist Dennis vanEngelsdorp and entomologist Jeff Pettis, geneticist Jay Evans, and virologist Yanping Chen with the ARS Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, MD. The scientists looked at more than 200 variables in 91 colonies from 13 apiaries in Florida and California, two states where many beekeepers overwinter their honey bees. The researchers screened for factors such as bacteria, mites, Nosema (protozoan parasites), viruses, nutrition status and 171 crop protectants. Also sampled were adult bees, wax comb, beebread (stored and processed pollen), and brood.
Their findings showed that no single variable was found consistently in only those honey bee colonies that had Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). CCD is a syndrome denoted by the sudden disappearance of adult honey bees in a colony.This syndrome has been devastating some beekeepers in the U.S. and other places around the world.
According to the research, overall, CCD colonies were co-infected with a greater number of pathogens. About 55% of CCD colonies were infected with three or more viruses, compared to 28% of non-CCD colonies. The researchers also found detectable levels of residues from 50 crop protectants in all of the sampled colonies. There was no association between increased pesticide levels and CCD.
A report that summarizes research progress on CCD can be found at www.ars.usda.gov/is/br/ccd/ccd_progressreport.pdf

text: December 16, 2014 Beauty Should I Subscribe? With so many monthly subscription services available now, its hard to sort out what ones you really want to subscribe to. I have been trying out a few of these services and thought I would share my experiences and what I think of each "box" that has arrived at my door! 1. Birchbox// I am not a huge fan of Birchbox, and I feel like I'm the only one. I had high hopes for this one when it started. I was receiving really cute useful products and then all of a sudden I stopped getting useful ones in my box and started getting things that I really wasn't interested in. What happened? The one plus about Birchbox, Its super cheap! Only ten dollars a month. My verdict? Not terrible, but I probably wouldn't try it again. (10$ monthly) 2. Rocksbox// I really couldn't love Rocksbox any more than I already do, and I think it has a lot to do with the jewelers that they use. Loren Hope and Margaret Elizabeth pieces are gorgeous! And if you decide you just cant bear to give the borrowed jewelry back and you need to buy it, Rocksbox will give you 10% off the retail price. My verdict? Love it! (19$ monthly) 3. Scent Bird// I've only been sent one perfume thus far, but I really like the idea of this and the perfume I did get was great. I especially love the little twist bottle they include with the fragrance, its spill proof and tucks right in to a purse. The vial is big enough to last the whole month but is not a full size. My verdict? I like what I see so far! (15$ monthly) Glossybox// Glossybox is my favorite out of all of these! The samples are ginormous (if not full size sometimes) and are incredibly high quality. I look forward to my Glossybox arriving every single month! Almost every box that I have received has a nail color in it, making it worth the price with just that alone. My verdict? Absolutely amazing! Julep// I never tried out Julep because (and this is completely ridiculous) I thought the bottles were weird. And then I received a polish at a conference I was at last summer and fell in love! The formula is great and the brush swipes the perfect amount of polish on to the nail. I would equate the polish worth to be about the same as Essie, but the fact that you can subscribe and try out new colors is pretty cool. My verdict? I like it! (FBF) Boxy Charm// This is my least favorite out of the bunch. I feel like the products are not only poorly manufactured (one of the mascaras they sent snapped in half) but the box is also way overpriced for whats inside. My verdict? Not for me. (21$ monthly) Stitch Fix// Expensive! The clothes were cute and they have a wonderful team of stylists ready to help if need be, but I really couldn't get over the cost with this one. I'm also someone who really enjoys shopping so to have a random assortment clothes arrive was a little weird. I could see someone who is on a time budget loving this service! Another thing that is great about this one is you can send back whatever you don't love so you aren't taking too huge of a risk. My verdict? Wonderful for the right person. (80$ or more monthly) Nibblr// Adorable and delicious! I pop the little snack packs into my car for a last minute snack supply. I have yet to come across a nibblr mix that I don't like! It keeps me from getting too hangry and its the least expensive box on this list. My verdict? Yum! (7$ monthly) A little disclaimer to end this post, I did receive some of these boxes free of charge and others I paid for. There is something to be said about your review holding more weight when you pay full price for services like this and these opinions are just my two cents on the matter. I also wouldn't recommend something to you guys unless I felt like I would spend my own earnings on it. I would love to hear about your experiences with subscription services in the comments below! xo, Natalie Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Like this:Like Loading...

Over the weekend, the Chicago Bulls in principle planned to trade second-year point guard Marquis Teague to the Brooklyn Nets for 6-9 small forward Tornike "Toko" Shengalia. The trade is expected to become official on Tuesday when the NBA offices reopen for business after the Martin Luther King holiday.
Teague had fallen out of favor with Tom Thibodeau and spent some time in the D-League after being sent down the day after the Bulls – ironically enough – defeated the Brooklyn Nets on Christmas Day, a game in which Teague did not play.
The point guard never thrived under Thibs' hard-nosed coaching style and his lack of confidence on the court was apparent. But he seemed to be eager to move on and have a fresh start under the tutelage of Hall of Fame point guard Jason Kidd in Brooklyn.
"Yeah, it was tough at times," Teague told the Chicago Sun-Times about playing for Tom Thibodeau. "It seemed I was trying to figure out what he wanted me to do on the floor, and sometimes I struggled with it. But I can't worry about the past. I have to be ready for my next situation. This happens in this business, so I just got to move on and be ready. It was time for something new."
As for Shengalia, he comes to Chicago after being taken in the second round – 54th overall – by the Philadelphia 76ers and then was later traded to the Nets. In his career, he has appeared in 36 games and has averages of 1.5 points, and 1.0 rebounds while shooting 45 percent from the field.

UEFA have warned England and Russia they will be kicked out of Euro2016 if there is a repeat of the disgraceful scenes of fan violence that overshadowed their clash in Marseilles.
The teams drew 1-1 at the Stade Velodrome but it's what happened off the pitch that could decide England and Russia's future after UEFA expressed their "disgust" at fan violence on the city's streets and in the stadium.
"Their actions distract the police from their primary mission, which is to protect our country from the terrorist threat," said French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
UEFA's DISGUST AT ENGLAND AND RUSSIA VIOLENCE
UEFA's statement said: "The UEFA executive committee would like to express its disgust for the violent clashes which occurred in the city of Marseille. Such unacceptable behaviour by so-called supporters of the national teams of England and Russia has no place in football, a sport we must protect and defend."
It continued: "The Uefa executive committee has warned both football associations that – irrespective of any decisions taken by the independent disciplinary bodies relating to incidents inside the stadium – it will not hesitate to impose additional sanctions on the [English] Football Association and the Russian Football Union, including the potential disqualification of their respective teams from the tournament, should such violence occur again."
England fans, Russia fans and French police clash again
Hooligans may have taken all the headlines but England and Russia shared the points on the pitch after a last gasp equaliser left Roy Hodgson's men deflated at the final whistle.
England captain and all-time leading goal scorer Wayne Rooney made his first ever start in midfield for England and the tactic looked to be working as his side took control of the game.
Eric Dier blasted in a free kick to give England the lead but despite their dominance his side failed to add to their tally and paid the price Vasili Berezutski's looping header sailed over Joe Hart to earn Russia a point.
While UEFA investigate the violence England fans will be questioning their manager's tactics and substitutions with Hodgson criticised for letting their main goal threat Harry Kane take the corners and failing to introduce speedster Jamie Vardy against a tiring Russian defence.
Next up is the hugely anticipated British derby between England and Wales in Lens on Thursday, a day after Russia and Slovakia meet – what do the top football tipsters think?
Wales got their first ever European Championship Finals match off to the perfect start thanks to a free kick from superstar Gareth Bale.
The Real Madrid man outfoxed Slovakia's keeper with a 30 yard effort, but Wales were pinned back when Slovakia equaliser through Ondrej Duda. However, with just nine minutes left, substitute Hal Robson-Kanu shinned a shot and earned the Welsh all three points to leave them top of Group B.
Northern Ireland's first appearance at the Euros wasn't as glorious and they were fortunate not to lose by more than the one goal Poland beat them by.
The Green and White Army were on the back foot from the start but did well to nullify Robert Lewandowski for the whole 90 minutes but could not stop Ajax's star Milik striking for three points in the 51st minute.

Living in Jakarta-Indonesia is tough! Many of us who are really blessed to live in a nice cozy home with a roof above our heads are indeed have to look down and see how we can help those who are in need.
On the contrary, there are 'many' rich-high-class people who drive Benzy, beemer and to my surpise i saw 'porsche' car not too far from where i took these photos.
Jakarta is a big city. To be honest I'm not so sure I wanna live here (Jakarta) anymore. I'm so used with Perth-Australia 🙂 yep, i'm an Australian mate!!

Product Photography – Washburn Semi-Hollow body Boogie St. Custom Limited Edition
A couple of guys always came up to me and said … 'WOW, that guitar is beautiful!' is that a Gibson guitar? and I said, "no, it's a Washburn!".
This guitar is a Boogie st. custom limited edition. For those who don't know what Boogie St. is, do yourself a favour and google it yourself, do it!! 🙂
It's a special run and only a handful of them sold around the world.
Body is mahogany with Zebra-wood top, glossy front and back.
The hardcase looks really cool too!! Check this out!
Pickups are Seymour Duncan JB (bridge) and '59 (neck). They give a nice balance sound and yet punchy enough for rock tunes.
Oh, by the way this is for sale. I play and gig with my Canon camera a lot more than I use this guitar.

Funk-rock with an attitude! that's what i would call them.
The velvet lounge is a dark venue with only a few steady dimmed-lights on. You absolutely cannot get a great-clear-crisp photos without any additional photo lighting.
So, thanks to my Canon Speedlite!! It saved me some great photos!!

Note: This interior review was created when the 2008 Kia Spectra5 was new.
Kia didn't skimp on space, quality or features inside the Spectra5, but its interior still ranks among the bottom of a competitive wagon class. Nonetheless Edmunds reports "the pleasing tactile nature of the buttons and switches belies the car's $16,000 base price." About.com says, "The interior roominess is truly amazing … while the tall car stance is a boon to anyone for whom ducking and bending can be a serious challenge."
The 2008 Spectra5 has comfortable seating and accommodating headroom. Mother Proof's reviewer writes, "my tall, long-legged husband doesn't look like a sardine packed in its tin; he actually fits and is happy his shaved head doesn't rub against the top of the car." When speaking of the seating, Edmunds notes the "Spectra5 has received universal praise for its well-shaped and supportive front seats, even from the road trippers."
However there are differences of opinion with the driver's seat. Road & Travel Magazine writes that "sitting erect with hips elevated not only feels more comfortable than a slouched stance in the typical car seat but also sets the head in a commanding position so a driver can see more clearly outside the vehicle," but Autoweb finds "front seat comfort decreases in direct proportion to the driver's height and weight. Taller people…are forced to either sit splay-legged behind the steering wheel or close enough to the floor to roll like Snoop Dogg, despite the standard driver's seat height adjuster."
Autoweb later says, "Don't call 'shotgun!' because the tall, firm, supportive, split-folding rear bench seats is the better spot to ride." Kelley Blue Book notes rear passengers "are treated to legroom in line with the car's impressive headroom" and Road and Track judges the rear-seating area "an easy fit for 6-footers."
Edmunds notes "for an economy car, the Kia Spectra5 comes with a long list of standard equipment," including a leather-trimmed steering wheel, power doors and windows and dual 12-volt power outlets for the center console. To Road and Track, "the straightforward instruments and dark-upper/light-lower dash treatment are easy on the eyes," and Kelley Blue Book finds they're "placed easily within reach."
The 2008 Spectra5's base AM/FM stereo and CD player has "big knobs and pushbuttons" says Car and Driver, but Autoweb writes "audiophiles be warned: low-voltage radio stations are difficult to find and keep with the Spectra5's stereo head unit and antenna." Edmunds notes that some of its editors also "complained about stereo distortion" from the systems four speakers and two door-mounted tweeters. "The system easily overpowers the speakers. In fact, one of the rear speakers is either loose or blown, as any amount of bass makes the cabin fill with unpleasant reverberations," they conclude.
Drivers also have the option of upgrading the Spectra5's stereo for a six-disc CD player with MP3 capabilities.
With only 18.3 cubic feet, the Spectra5's cargo area is anything but spacious. However, one of the Detroit News' writers finds enough space inside to pack up and move. "I was able to get eight boxes of books, old G.I. Joe toys from the kids and kitchenware in the cargo hold with the rear seats folded," she writes. "I put the miniature schnauzer in the front seat and still had space to go shopping and buy a Tiffany lamp, bedding and groceries and still see out the rear window just enough not to get stopped by the cops."
But the Spectra provides an abundant amount of smaller storage space, including front-door map pockets with bottle holders. Also included are dual cupholders for the front and rear, sunglass holders and garment hooks.

Isaiah 54: Single Moms and the Promises of God (Episode 24)
March 2, 2019
My personal take on Isaiah 54 as it relates to women in general and single moms in particular. I'm not denying that Isaiah 54 is about Israel OR that it is best understood eschatologically. Just that there are layers to the Bible and, for me, this one fits!

Super PAC Heavily Funded By Soros Takes Aim At Wisconsin Governor
By Don Walker, Tom Kertscher and Jason Stein, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has a new opponent this year — a super PAC heavily funded by liberal billionaire George Soros.
In anticipation of Walker's re-election campaign this fall and possible presidential bid in 2016, American Bridge 21st Century is already hard at work in Wisconsin.
The group unveiled on Wednesday a new website called JohnDoeWalker.com, devoted to exposing information about Walker. The site was launched the same day emails were released from a secret John Doe investigation into links between Walker's staff and his political campaign.
American Bridge received $1 million from the Soros Fund Management firm during the 2012 election cycle and funding from individual donors and labor unions. Organizers say they have committed about two dozen of their Washington, D.C.-based staff to poring over the 27,000 pages of emails.
Soros is a backer of Hillary Rodham Clinton, widely viewed as the Democratic front-runner in the 2016 presidential race.
Founded in November 2010 by author and liberal activist David Brock, the group grew out of a left-wing media watchdog group, Media Matters for America.
American Bridge does opposition research on Republican office holders and candidates for president, the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, and for governor.
American Bridge has worked in Wisconsin before.
In the 2012 campaign for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin, American Bridge provided documents for an Associated Press story showing that GOP candidate and former Gov. Tommy Thompson had earned more than $8.5 million in compensation since 2005 from companies that included a prominent Washington lobbying firm, a medical device manufacturer and a globally recognized consulting firm. Thompson lost to Democrat Tammy Baldwin.
American Bridge turned its sights to Walker this past November, using a project it launched called Correct the Record.
Correct the Record highlighted what it called Walker's apparent failure to fulfill a campaign promise to create 250,000 jobs before his term as governor ends next January.
The offshoot group, led by Clinton's 2008 campaign strategist Burns Strider, according to Politico, issued that news release less than a week after Walker criticized Clinton as a "product of Washington" during a meeting of conservatives in New York.
American Bridge spokeswoman Gwen Rocco said Thursday that JohnDoeWalker.com hasn't revealed anything about the emails that hasn't already been reported by other media, but that the site is the only one created exclusively for coverage of the emails.
Walker is running up against an inescapable fact of political life — the higher your aspirations, the bigger target you become for your foes.
As expected, Democrats from around the country leapt on the documents, dissecting the emails and trying to link the story to other embattled national Republicans such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who faces criticism over the closure of lanes on the George Washington Bridge in a political dispute, and former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, who faces federal charges of accepting gifts.

WOLVES No2 Ian Evans is hopeful the new faces in the Molineux squad will help their quest for "payback time" in Sunday's Black Country derby with Albion.
Two convincing 3-0 defeats at the hands of the old enemy have proved deflating experiences for Wolves so far this season, and they know they will once again tackle a Baggies team boasting genuine Premiership quality on Sunday lunchtime.
But three of their most influential recent performers - Andy Keogh, Stephen Ward and Michael Kightly - didn't start the FA Cup humbling at Molineux in January, and Evans believes they have the potential to make a big difference as Wolves bid to make it third time lucky.
"We do have a number of different players available from those who played in the last two games," explained the assistant manager.
"There could be three or four new faces starting the game and we hope they will make a difference.
"I don't think losing to Albion provided the catalyst to our recent good run - I think that came in the next game at Norwich when we got absolutely battered but ended up nicking three points, the telly and everything else that night.
"But I suppose this weekend is about getting our own back after those 3-0 defeats, payback time if we can. It would be nice for everybody, players and supporters alike, if we could rectify those last two results."
With Paul Robinson now available for Albion after a successful appeal against the red card picked up last weekend, one of the most intriguing battles will see the experienced no-nonsense defender up against the in-form Kightly.
The six-goal right winger has in the past had to combat suggestions he is too slight to make an impact in the professional game.
But Evans believes he can deal with the sort of physical opposition likely to be provided by Robinson.
"If there was a central midfielder of Kites's size and ilk then maybe you would think he would need a big man alongside him," he added. "But his knowledge of that position on the right, where he is flexible enough to be able to come in as well, means size in this case doesn't really matter.
"I'm sure one day he's going to come against a real bulky defender who's going to kick seven bells of whatever out of him because of the run he's on.
"Such is life that someone will try and bring him back down to earth, but I think he's the sort of character who will just get up and say give me some more."

As you can see, the charge-offs on 1-4 family residential housing skyrocketed nearly 1,500% (yes, that is a lot) from the bursting of the bubble in '06.
Both recoveries have increased and the charge-offs decrease, giving us an increase in recovery rates over the last two quarters. Now, before we get all giddy about the improvement in the credit situation in residential real estate finance and blow out all of our provisions, let's take a more careful look at the chart. For one, although the recoveries have increased very slightly, it is the drop in the charge-offs that has served to boost the recovery rate. So, that leads us to ask "What has changed so positively in the market to cause such a drop in charge-offs?" Well, for one the Case Shiller Index has shown a rise in prices. Of course, BoomBustBloggers don't really go for that, because the Case Shiller Index rise fails to capture many of the elements that are causing aggregate housing values sold to fall on an economic basis. See Why the Case Shiller Index, Although Showing Another Downturn Coming, is Overly Optimistic and Quite Misleading! then reference this chart below.
I will make the analytical model that created this chart available to all paying subscribers in my next post on this topic, which will drill down on why a lagged, highly filtered price model (no matter how sophisticated, and they did do a good job on it) will often mislead you in regards to the true economic direction of assets as such as housing. You must measure sales activity (which has slowed to a level that nearly approximate 1963 levels) as well as sales prices – and those prices have to capture all aspects of housing. The CS index excludes the most distressed categories, which causes it to have an optimistic skew.
So, if it is not the rising prices of indicated by the Case Shiller index that caused the drop in charge-offs, then what was it? Well, I believe it was something much more old fashioned and mundane. It's called LYING! See Anecdotal Evidence That Banks Are Hiding Depressed High End Real Estate, as excerpted…
Why are Banks Hiding High End Residential Real Estate? Courtesy of the Real Estate Channel:
- Without the FTB tax credit, the housing market is receiving artificial demand and price support from the FHA loan guarantees and banks sitting on mortgages of homes once valued at $300,000
- Banks in areas that were severely damaged by the downturn in domestic real estate (Cook County, Illinois, Miami-Dade County, Florida, Orange County, California) have significant inventories of homes worth more than $300,000 that they will not put on the market, even after foreclosures lasting more than 2 years
If that doesn't get you going, reference "They ARE trying to kick the bad mortgages down the road, here's proof!" and "More on kicking that housing can down the road…".
Now, taking the above into consideration, let's run through an example of a high LTV single mortgage home purchased in Nevada.

|Loan, expenses

|$ 312,500

|$ 41,680
|net recovery in a perfect world
|Recovery if marketing period=12M
|recovery if sales continue to slow
|Recovery if litigated (win or lose?)
|$ -
|If there is a legal battle (there cropping up all over the place), the bank is better off letting it go.
This example is not far fetched, and can take place in condos in Florida, California and New York where extra costs can drive down recovery, or the humid coastal regions (ex. Florida) where humidity can drive down recovery over time, or cold weather states, or high crime areas (theft, vandalism), etc.
Methinks it is time to start rethinking the dynamics of distressed real estate, foreclosures, REOs, and recoveries for the economics are definitely starting to morph on the margin and that morphing can quickly spread to the more mainstream.

The right output shaft could become disconnected, affecting the ability to control the vehicle, which could result in a crash. Dealers will inspect and retighten the affected drivetrain fasteners. The recall began on November 28, 2003.
Our Quick Take
Certain driveline attaching bolts may not have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. The bolts could loosen and the right output shaft could become disconnected, affecting vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.

Wonderspaces Virtual Reality, The Swingin' with Dean Show
Events December 12-December 18, 2019
Various Authors noon, Dec. 7
Name: Seth Roloff
Lives: Alpine
Surfing: Avalanche Jetty, Ocean Beach
Vehicle: 1984 Mercedes 300SD Turbo Diesel
Seth Roloff's 1984 Mercedes 300SD died in its spot on this hazy Saturday morning. "I was excited to see the surf was so good this morning and nobody was out here. So I took off in a rush and left my lights on."
A Samaritan in a Land Rover agrees to give Roloff a jumpstart, and it takes two people to open the hood because of a faulty latch.
"Everything has been going wrong with this car since I bought it," Roloff says. An old lady in East County sold him the car for $3000.
"She had it serviced by Mercedes since the day she bought it, so it was cherry when I got it."
Roloff bought the Mercedes to commute to Ocean Beach three or four times a week for the surf. He fits his 7'0" BYB speed egg in the car by laying the front seat down, sticking the nose under the dash, and the tail of the board sits on the rear seatback.
"You could get an eight-foot board in there. Anything bigger, and I have to use [roof racks]."
Roloff, 22, has been surfing for the past 11 years.
"I've seen a guy die at Hospitals surf spot in La Jolla, by Scripps," he says. "The guy had a helmet and everything. He beefed it bad on the reef and never came up for air. His leash busted, his board floated in, and about ten minutes later, lifeguards were dragging him out of the water. I'm not sure if he died or not, but it didn't look good."

DAVIE — At about 12:34 a.m. Monday, NBC posted a graphic of the AFC Playoff Picture.
The Chiefs had somehow beaten the Broncos, in overtime, and the Dolphins, once 1-4, were somehow 7-4 and in the second Wild Card position.
"Now that we control our own destiny, we just have to keep doing what we are doing," cornerback Byron Maxwell said Monday in the Dolphins locker room.
Tight end MarQuies Gray fell asleep before the game was over. But he woke up to some Twitter alerts about how the Dolphins would be in the playoffs in the season ended now.
Which, yes, is not the case.
But still.
"Sixth seed?" Gray said Monday. "That is dope. I have never been in this type of hunt before. Everywhere I've been we've either been out of it by now or had to wait to see how it went. So to know that we're in the hunt is a great feeling."
The Dolphins knew if the Chiefs beat the Broncos they would slide into playoff position. Well, almost all the Dolphins.
"I thought it was the other way around," Dolphins guard Jermon Bushrod said. "Well, then I'm glad (the Chiefs) won."
Veteran tackle Branden Albert, like many Dolphins, professed ignorance about where Miami is in the playoff picture.
"I literally don't know. I don't know," Albert said.
Do you want to know?
"I really don't want to know," Albert said.
It was almost comical to see how long some players paused after they were asked if they had watched the late Chiefs-Broncos game. And if they knew who Miami preferred to win.
"A lot of people kept bringing it up," defensive back Michael Thomas said. "But at this point, I don't care. Because we have to keep winning. If we win we'll be where we want to be at the end of the season."
Safety Walt Aikens, who is friendly, approachable and affable, was very careful not to say pretty much anything about the playoff race, playoff brackets, playoff positioning or playoff chances.
"I don't have any thoughts on it," Aikens said. "One day at the time. One game at a time. Our whole goal is to win each day. We are not thinking about what's down the road."
Linebacker Neville Hewitt has — shhhh! — seen the current AFC playoff bracket.
"I've seen it, but that's down the road," Hewitt said. "When you start looking past stuff, that's when it goes bad."
Most players are taking cues from first-year coach Adam Gase.
I asked Gase if he knew to root for the Chiefs (even though he's coached for the Broncos).
"No, I wasn't even thinking about it," Gase said.
I asked Gase if he saw the NBC graphic featuring a bracket with the Dolphins in playoff position.
"I wasn't really paying attention," Gase said.
Another reporter asked about Miami controlling its own destiny.
Gase looked like he wanted to escape the room.
"It's too early for me," he said.
Perhaps it's too early.
But that this is even a conversation now, that Dolphins will be in the playoff race in a December game at Baltimore, is cause for celebration among fans, if not cause for the Fins to pop open Cristal.
"We just like to talk about being 1-0 this week," Dolphins tackle Ja'Wuan James said, echoing something Gase might say.

In an article published in Milan's Corriere della Sera, the Italian writer and professor Marco Santagata claims that he has determined the true identity of Elena Ferrante. He writes that Ferrante is the pen name of Marcella Marmo, a professor at a Neapolitan university. According to Slate, Marmo has denied Santagata's claim, and has pointed out that she is too "timid and reserved" to be such an bold writer. Ferrante's Italian publisher has also denied that Marmo is Ferrante.
Harper Lee's estate will no longer allow the printing of inexpensive, mass-market editions of To Kill a Mockingbird.
Author and Hollywood historian Neal Gabler argues that the shocking story about the Republican presidential campaigns isn't "the rise of Donald Trump but how the GOP slowly morphed into a party of hate and obstruction." Trump isn't a surprise, says Gabler; he's the fulfillment of the Republican Party's increasingly hostile wishes. Novelist and essayist Marilynne Robinson has also weighed in on the Donald, writing at The Guardian: "His supposed implausibility as a candidate actually sheltered him for months from scrutiny by the press, who nevertheless have showered him with attention. He is alarming as well as absurd, stirring and stoking the worst impulses in the electorate. But then this is only a darkening of the atmosphere we have lived in since Nixon, as fear and resentment began to be commodified very profitably by the likes of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh."
Novelists John Edgar Wideman and Peter Carey and poet Billy Collins were among those elected into the Academy of Arts this year.

The three authors talk about the books and raise questions about the meaningfulness of their trade: "Why be a critic? What good are critics? What's the future for a critic, and for criticism?"
With the help of a new Grove Press edition of Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls, the managers of the author's estate are hoping to market the cult classic novel to millennials. The introduction was written by Simon Doonan. Apparently, the publisher first offered this honor to Liza Minnelli, but she declined. Minnelli's publicist explains: "Liza's mother was famously fired from the movie of Valley, causing her a lot of stress."

Shagg Carpet would be a good name for a Shaggs cover band
via The New Yorker, I learn that the outsider rock band The Shaggs recently had a reunion just down the road from me. Writer Howard Fishman asks
Was it fair to even call this band the Shaggs? Or was it, rather, a Shaggs cover band providing a live karaoke soundtrack for the Wiggins to sing along with?
As someone who once judged a contest in which contestants tackled the question of whether a band can be its own cover band, I can't let this pass as just a rhetorical question.

Nothing leads where I expect
When I started News For Wombats, I expected to be writing slightly different stuff than I did at Footnotes on Epicycles (my old blog).
I thought I'd post about politics, but I haven't.
The present scene is alternately too depressing and too crazy. One example of a post that almost happened: I was struck, in the aftermath of Charlottesville, that the New York Times could could still whinge about Trump's "moral standing as president."1 I mulled it over a bit before posting, Trump doubled down on deferring to racism, and then the Time's understatement seemed hardly worth mentioning.
I thought I'd write more capsule reviews, but I haven't.
For example, the Netflix show Iron Fist is almost unwatchable. I ultimately soldiered through so that I could pick up the continuity of the Defenders. The biggest problem with Iron Fist is that the action scenes are terrible. I don't just mean that the martial arts are technically poor (which they are) but also that they fail narratively. I am fine with fight scenes in old Star Trek episodes: Kirk takes out aliens with hammy rabbit punches, but it comes across that he's supposed to be pretty good at punching. Silly fight choreography aside, the narrative is clear. In Iron Fist, Mister Fist is thrown around by even mook-level bad guys. The show doesn't let me the viewer know that he's supposed to actually be good at this.2
Hey, now I have written about those things. How about that?3 Continue reading "Nothing leads where I expect"

Shetland Sheepdog
The Shetland Sheepdog originated in the Shetland Isles to help the farmers look after and guard their stock and homestead. Refined in the twentieth century after the export of these dogs to mainland Scotland, these small shepherds were found to be very gentle when herding stock and were seen as extremely smart and willing workers. Being first recognized in England in 1909, and because of their kindly disposition, this breed has become one of todays most popular companion dogs. Some of their talents include: tracking, herding, watchdog, guarding, agility, competitive obedience, and performing tricks.
These very loyal and loving dogs are dedicated to their families and are very good with children. Their intelligence makes them easy to train and they get on great with other dogs and cats. You may find that they can be a bit reserved with strangers and do make quite good watchdogs.
33-40.6 cm (13-16in)
They look like a miniature version of "Lassie" only much smaller. Their colours range from sable (from pale gold through to shaded sable), Tricolour (predominately black body colour) and Blue merle (a silver blue with black marbling through the blue coat).
The Shetland Sheepdog has a harsh outer double coat that repels water and dirt which makes them quite an easy little dog to maintain. All that will be needed is a 15 to 20 minute grooming once a week however, if they are dropping their coat they may need a little more grooming to brush the undercoat out so this does not matt and become a problem. If you don't have the time to bath or groom your dog, your local dog grooming salon provides these services.
Life Expectancy
10-14 Years
Health Concerns
There is a tendency toward inherited malformation and disease of the eyes and it is recommended that each individual puppy should have his eyes examined by a qualified veterinary ophthalmologist. This breed can also be affected by displacement of the patella (kneecap), which is thought to be inherited. Apart from ensuring you do not over-feed the Sheltie, they have very few other health problems.
Shetland Sheepdogs are equally great with children, the elderly, or anyone alone at home who wants a calm canine companion. They also make great pets for those of us with a quiet lifestyle or those perhaps interested in dog sports. They don't demand much space and make wonderful watchdogs. Litters are usually small from one to four pups, so interested owners can expect to wait up to six months for a pup.

CONCORD, N.C. -- The NASCAR Cup Series has a new, stage-based format this season, and the Hendrick Motorsports drivers are eager to see it play out.
From adding "another level of strategy" to providing more chances to win and earn points, the teammates noted plenty of reasons to be excited.
"We do everything right now for that final race run, that final restart," Kasey Kahne said. "Now we have to find ways to be good all the time. You can't look so far out, you've got to look sooner to get those points in the first stage, then the second stage and then the final stage."

It used to be possible to buy diet pills containing Phentermine HCL without a prescription throughout the United States and Canada. But due to the lack of oversight inherent in over the counter medications such as these, people began suffering side effects that compromised their general health. Some of these side effects were even life threatening, such as weakening the heart, and usually were associated with overuse or sudden withdrawal from products containing phentermine. The most famous of these, of course, is a diet pill product called Fen-Phen, which was influential in phentermine becoming reclassified as a schedule IV controlled substance as a result of the complication some people suffered from taking Fen-Phen over a long period of time. Many lawsuits ensued and diet products containing phentermine fell out of favor with consumers for many years. However, a resurgence in its popularity has emerged recently as a prescription medication for improving weight loss results.
Due to these early problems associated with using phentermine as an appetite suppressant and energy boosting diet pill, it is no longer legal to buy products containing phentermine in the United States or in Canada without a doctor's prescription. Like amphetamines, phentermine HCL (Hydrochloride), the main ingredient used in Adipex-P 37.5 mg diet pills, block the neural receptors informing us we're hungry. In other words, it fools our stomach into feeling full when it isn't, allowing users to fight off hunger pangs associated with dieting. It also boosts energy levels by increasing the heart rate and how much sweat the body produces, both of which stimulate the metabolism and allow us to burn more calories and clear out toxins faster. The problem with phentermine, just like other amphetamines, is that it is highly addictive and can cause unwanted side effects and health complications from overuse or due to withdrawal. For these reasons, phentermine products are no longer available over the counter in the U.S. and Canada. if you have problem to take pill like this yo can also try detox tea for accomplish your weight loss goal.
There are phentermine-like products, however, that may be purchased without a prescription. For example, the company that provides Adipex-P 37.5 mg diet pills has a non -prescription alternative called PhenObestin 37.5 mg which contains nutraceuticals, or pharmaceutical grade supplements that contain the same appetite suppressant and energy boosting mechanisms as phentermine. Whether its effectiveness is comparable to what is experienced with regular Adipex-P 37.5 mg is unclear. However, it is an affordable option, especially for those unable to obtain a prescription for phentermine products. PhenObestin 37.5 is delivered through direct mail to your door with free shipping and a 100% Money Back Guarantee and comes in 30, 90 and 120-day supplies.
Since it is illegal to purchase phentermine products without a prescription in the United States and Canada, be wary of any products claiming to contain phentermine that are available for purchase without a prescription. Look for the spelling used for phentermine, which will usually be different in some way from the actual spelling of phentermine, and be aware that any claims of supplying diet pills to consumers, usually through online sources, without a prescription that allegedly contain phentermine, are either misrepresenting what their product contains or attempting to break the law.
Use common consumer protection guidelines against fraud and check the source and rating of any company you're attempting to buy adipex-P 37.5 mg or other phentermine products through. Be sure to obtain a prescription from your doctor before ordering any products containing phentermine and purchase these products from reputable sites with proven track records. Most importantly, don't be fooled by false claims of prescription free phentermine products. They are most likely either products that do not contain phentermine or have a placebo in its place which they've given similar name to . Look for the correct spelling and the products that require a prescription to be sure you're receiving the real deal.

Published at Thursday, April 25th, 2019 - 09:44:09 AM. Storage Cabinet. By Silana Poulain.
When choosing between what type of shelving to get for your cabinet, remember that fixed shelving will have a lower load capacity plus you cannot layout your shelves in any creative height order. Typically, adjustable shelves will allow you to move in 2" increments from the center which allows a user to be flexible with its storage items.
CD Storage cabinets come in various sizes and designs and are an excellent combination of form and function. Contributing to the ambience of a room, CD storage cabinets are ideal accessories for a home theatre system. Some of these cabinets have separate racks to store the CDs, which offer a suitable storage and retrieval option. For quick access, some more expensive models have push buttons with automatic drawers.

The spirit of giving on campus was in action on Monday, Nov. 19 as the Saint Anselm College community donated Thanksgiving dinner baskets for 120 families in the greater Manchester area.
Faculty, staff, and students joined in this campus-wide project to put together baskets with all the traditional fixings including vegetables, pie and turkey. Trimmed with ribbon and balloons, some in laundry baskets others in bags, each basket represented the group who donated it. The athletics office alone provided 30 baskets to the Abbey Church, one for each of the varsity teams.
The baskets were delivered to the Abbey Church for the annual Thanksgiving Basket Blessing where they were sprinkled with Holy Water before distribution.

During the blessing, New Hampshire Catholic Charities' Parish and Community Services Coordinator Steven Knight, reminded contributors of the spiritual and physical nourishment the baskets will provide the 450 recipients. In reflecting on this day, Father Jonathan DeFelice, O.S.B., said, "Let us remember those whose day has been made brighter by this offering today."
Baskets were distributed by N.H. Catholic Charities and the Greater Manchester AIDS Project.
- Monday also marked the first day of the college's annual pie and cheesecake sale in Davison Dining Hall, photos of which are included in the gallery above.

i am addict in recovery. i have suffered from this addiction for close to three years. my habit grew progressively worse as i fell into depression both from habitual use as well as watching my life outside suffer as well(ie job losses, failed relationships etc...) i became a regular viewer of certain fetishes, which i had never even thought of before, and even went so far as to act out. i really had no idea what was happening to me. i had never heard of porn addiction but rather thought it a normal thing to watch. i understand now that porn just takes you to more and more extreme viewing. and now i look back shake my head at what i was watching and thinking as "normal". i began to realise that i was on a very dark path. i had such a very empty i feeling inside of me and i could see how screwed up i had become . i eventually realized the common thread was porn. oh and i am not criticizing fetish lifestyles, its just that i wasn't making healthy choices for myself. i was leading a somewhat double life.
anyway, i attended my first SA meeting which was a big step for me. to actually go out and admit that i had a problem to other people was, well quite challenging and relieving at the same time. i still wasn't committed to giving porn up until the spring summer of 09.
since then, i have made a concerted effort to recover. i had a few slip ups, but for the most part i believe, with the help of websites such as reuniting, and tantric concepts i learned through tanja diamond, that i have things under control. i still have urges to use it from time to time, but i am able to recognize and counter triggers. I am at the point where i am beginning to feel disgusted by porn and my past behavior. i have regular visions of porn, when i visualize sexual fantasies, which i find disturbing. i can recall with accuracy scenes i watched a very long time ago i thought long lost. but they are still there. i have started to masterbate without the goal of ejaculating to "retrain" my mind again (a tantric method).
my real concern now, and i believe what made me slip up in recent months, aside from momentary feelings of depression, were feelings of anxiety. in short i find it hard to be intimate with someone. both on a personal level and at times i suffer from performance anxiety. i know i can perform, its just i have so much fear. this was never a problem for me in the past. i regularly dated and never had problems meeting woman or performing (with the odd slip up of course..haha).
my thinking always starts out with worrying about failing to perform as good as i used to before internet porn. and of course the more i worry the more i make it likely that i'll lose the my erection. i know i can perform. i wake up with a daily erection and generally have no problem getting an erection on my own without porn. its just such a mind fuck. like i can have an erection and still my mind says i can't perform!!! explain that one..
i am working to alleviate these feelings which i am starting to see are just thoughts, and not real, through meditation. as well, as i have said, i have stopped ejaculating for the past 3 weeks (minus a couple slip ups) and i believe its helping.
recently, however, i met someone with whom i am starting to date. we have not been intimate as of yet. but it looks like we will be. hence i am having feelings of anxiety, when i think about love making. i think this person is really special. i am not entirely sure i can share with her my experiences with porn addiction yet. i am just not entirely sure on how to proceed. viagra is of course an option, but i preferably don't want to go that route .
oh i wanted to add. since i have stopped watching porn regularly, my life has begun to improve dramatically at all levels. as if i am waking from a fog...
i suppose my questions evolve around this issue.
is this a normal part of addiction recovery? is this part of the of withdrawal?
if so,
how long do most people find this lasts?
what can anybody suggest i do?
Thanks for sharing your story. Maybe some of the gentlemen here will have some thoughts for you. I just want to say that from what I've read of people's stories, everything you're experiencing IS normal. Your brain is recalibrating...unhooking from one form of stimulation to another (normal sex). It's not suprising that it's a bit...hesitant at first. It's still rewiring.
My thought is that it may be normal to think of your body as a machine that's supposed to perform sexually at the flip of a switch in just the way you know it can at peak performance. But this is partly a product of watching porn stars who are disconnected from their feelings. That's not a healthy place to be, and it doesn't lead to deep, satisfying companionship. It just leads to performance.
The more I learn, the more I realize our expectations around sexual performance are seriously out of whack. Have a look at this article, "Intercourse vs. Orgasm": http://www.reuniting.info/orgasm_vs_intercourse
Other primates don't ejaculate each time they engage in sexual activity. They use it as a bonding behavior (only) just as often. In other words, it's quite likely that "normal" sex for humans IS something closer to karezza, with the emphasis on affectionate touch, gentle intercourse, and the occasional mating frenzy.
In any case, there's nothing wrong with telling this new goddess that you have had too many short, passionate relationships, and that you hope this one will last and you want a slow start. Try just sleeping together for a bit, with lots of affection. As long as you assure her how delicious you find her, she'll probably be fine with that.
Women, too, have been sold the "hot sex" recipe, but it just makes us tire of our partners more quickly, so it's quite counterproductive. If you'd like me to explain this to her, just let me know, because I lived this problem...and the karezza solution.
Hi recoverer, I can't relate
Hi recoverer,
I can't relate exactly to your situation, as I am not required to 'perform'.
However, I think staying away from orgasm for a while will help you regain your clarity and hopefully diminish your anxiety.
And encouraging your new partner to go slow, but with lots of affection - sounds like a good idea to me.
Dear Recoverer,
Your story made me gasp.......it is almost a mirror to my experience...........uncanny.
The flight from intimacy, the resulting anxiety, the performance stress, etc.
Look, you've taken the first step and that is to unhook from porn......saving your energy for the real experience of life.
Read, Read, Read.
Most of my problem has been my issues with intimacy. For me, it was an issue of not letting anyone in too close.....fear of being let down or hurt, lost, left ....whatever.
The anxiety can be handled by more positive outlets...exercise, music, walks, etc. But what is FUELING the anxiety is the real question. Porn, masturbation were the means to handle the anxiety.....that caused the addiction. But you are breaking that cycle now....CONGRATS.
Marnia is right, if this new person is cool, she will understand that you want to take it slow( she may even appreciate it). THAT will ease your feelings and promote trust......the rest will unfold brother and I bet you will have NO issue with "performance".
Oh, the viagra hook. I have used viagra and kept it a secret (so i think). It can also screw with your mind as you start to believe that it is the only way for you to get an erection. it IS ADDICTIVE in and of itself. You already know your body works. Now, once you and your partner relax into this, you will look back and laugh at the money spent on this drug (by the way, I am in the medical business........Pfizer is making a KILLING off of us and laughing all the way to the bank.........most of "Erectile Dysfunction" is mostly due to porn, masturbation addiction.....and they want to keep it that way).
Just a few thoughts............but it seems to be working for me.
thanks crow
thanks crow. funny thing happened. just writing about it seemed to alleviate a lot of the stress i've had regarding this issue....as well, everybodys responses made a lot of sense. thanks again.

a Love day
the early morning looked like reading and then falling back asleep.
and then snuggling a little gril and falling back asleep.
and then a long snuggle with little son and almost falling to sleep.
and it was quiet.
and slow...
and in the midst of all that, I was so grateful.
the last couple of days there was a Disconnection, and Trev and I were at odds. We were blasting instead of communicating, and not properly interpreting the blasts, and instead were accusing and feeling accused.
Off, we were.
so after a long morning - :) one which was extended well into the afternoon - I was finally satisfied and pleased with our family's reconnection, and we were ready to go play.
I think we're recalibrated, now.
and now the sun is lightening the sky into shades of blue-gray, and I'm anticipating the warmest day of the next several.
and i've decided this morning that since it's past mid-February, it's quite alright to now dream of Spring.....
7 comments:
I love those slow, snuggly days!ReplyDelete
Those disconnects can be rattling, can't they? I am glad that all is well again.ReplyDelete
See you in those dreams of Spring!
So lovely! I'm happy you found some breathing space to reconnect on many levels!ReplyDelete
And I DARE not dream of spring yet here in Alaska...SOOOOOO far off for us......ReplyDelete
Snuggling - no better way to reconnect!ReplyDelete
Presumably yours don't wriggle as much as mine ;-)
I'm hoping (not tempting fate) that winter has lost its grip, and spring is on its way here. I shall send some over :-)
oooooh, are we ever there. the disconnect, not the snuggling. looking at 5 days without papa, without car, and i've got me a bit worried. send me some of that spring air, will ya? my mantra today is "breathe. begin again."...ReplyDelete
I've been dreaming of Spring since I got my seed and chick catalogs in January! lol! Glad everything is back to normal at your house. Have a wonderful day!ReplyDelete
