What (not) to say at Costco

I get the comment "you sure have your hands full" ALL THE TIME and I only have 2 kids. For a while I thought it was because I wear the baby in a carrier, but it still makes no sense. I try to convince myself that people who say that are jealous... their hands and hearts must feel empty.ReplyDelete
Did you ever consider that maybe it was a friendly opener and that she wanted to offer to help you? You cannot always know that a person is evil after one remark. I usually give them another chance. I'm trying to ge Christian.ReplyDeleteReplies
To be a friendly opener, it would first need to be friendly.Delete
And no, I did not consider that someone who was at the store being paid to work was offering help to someone who didn't need help.
The nicest thing a mom can say to another mom is, "you look great" or " you're doing an awesome job." Unfortunately, women are very hard on other women. I try to be that uplifting woman always. Much love to you, mom of many.Delete

I understand the frustration. When my three little ones went to the store people would ask me if they had the same father. Because my husband has dark brown hair, olive skin and green eyes. I have strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin and freckles. So I have a child with blonde hair, medium skin tone, one with brown hair and darker skin tone and one with red hair with fair skin. It always hurt my feelings and always caught me off guard. I wish they would have asked are they all yours instead.ReplyDeleteReplies

I understand completely, my kids look noting alike either.Delete
One of my favorite memories is when my kids were small, my friend and I took my kids, her kids, and my daughter's best friend to the park.
I have dark hair and green eyes, my son is red head with gray eyes, my daughter has light brown hair and brown eyes. My friend is as blond as you can get, her boys both dark skinned with dark hair, her oldest has an afro. My daughter's friend is from China.
All five kids are running around and playing. This lady observes us and them for a while, then comes up and sits next to my friend and I. She wanted to know which of the kids were adopted. Immediately annoyed, I told her they were all our biological kids and did not specific who belonged to who. After an awkward silence she went away.
The truth is my friend's oldest is adopted, yet he looks very similar to his brother who is her biological child. My kids are both biological and my daughter's friend was adopted from China as an infant. Some things are just not anyone else's business.

I give you a lot of credit to take 6 children 10 and under to a grocery store alone on a holiday weekend. While I took all of mine everywhere with me out of necessity, I probably didn't handle it with as much grace and humor as you do every day. We have 4 who are now young independent adults living on their own and we miss the happy noise that only comes with a houseful of children. The time goes so quickly so be sure to appreciate every single second. God bless you and your beautiful family.ReplyDelete
Costco can be an experience. A few months back we had one of the cashiers start drilling one of my daughter's on her multiplication facts when she found out we were homeschoolers. I had to step in and get the woman to back off.ReplyDelete
I was glad my husband was with us that day to witness the ridiculous things people say to homeschooled children.
Really enjoy your blog!

I have 3, ages 3, 2, and 6 months. I get all the same comments; more often I get "What aisle did you get the kids on? I want one too!" (I usually have all 3 in the cart) These comments don't phase me for some reason. People really don't get that offensive until you offer them a Gospel tract or ask them if they know Jesus. THEN you get all kinds of angry retorts about how Jesus and the apostles never shared the Gospel publicly, and you are brainwashing your kids!! ��ReplyDelete
My goodness! People have no idea how they sound sometimes! I get this even not and I'm just 20 weeks with my First! I have gotten "oh it's a boy ! you must be so happy that it's a boy", or the "oh you wanted a boy right?!". like having a girl would be any less exciting or even that we had a choice either way. I just answer with "it's a baby we wanted a baby and we are thrilled that we are having one". the response makes people feel a bit awkward sometimes but maybe it will make them think the next time. Oh an i always take a huge step back and put my hands up when they go to touch the belly. I always say woah there's nothing to feel thank you.ReplyDelete

"You sure have your hands full!" Ugh - it's rude and lame!ReplyDelete
How is that rude? For heaven's sakes! How very "Christian" of you to bash people who are trying to be friendly and make conversation with you.Replies
I agree it's rude & lame...since when is having an opinion make you less of a Christian. Her responses are perfectly Christian....if she had cussed em out, no...or went off on them, no..but to smile & walk away & vent/relay her frustration to other Christain Moms on how she responds...very Christian. By your standards, you must not be Christian...look how judgemental & rude you are!!Delete
My grandmother had 9 and she's always liked those comments. She'd always respond "Yes and I love it". Now she gets similar comments when people learn she has going on 20 great-grandchildren. I don't think she has ever thought to be offended, because she was always proud that her hands were full, because they were full with love. I suppose it's all in how you look at it.ReplyDelete

Often when I hear the comment made it is from an older parent whose kids are well beyond the stroller/cart/periodic head count age. I always say your right because I did. Most would follow up with an enjoy - these days are going to fly by. It is always important to set a good example for my children and respond with a kind caring heart. I am their best teacher on how to treat others. They learn the most by example. Have a veautuful Thanksgiving Zsu. May God bless your family during this holiday seasonReplyDelete
Ah Costco! Without a doubt my favorite shopping experience!ReplyDelete

I love your blog Zsuzsanna and admire how well you care for your family. I was, however, taken aback reading your response toward strangers questions which you take as insulting.
I frequently get the "are they twins" question about my two boys whom are 2 years apart and have noticeably different body sizes. I also get tired of answering it, but realize they are genuinely curious. My answer is the same every time: "no, they're actually two years apart" with a polite smile. The devil would love nothing more than for soul-winners, not even a Sunday morning glory but a soul-winner, to shut those doors that Paul prayed to be opened. I'm not claiming to be perfect in taking every opportunity to give the gospel. I've had my share of missing low-hanging fruit and shutting doors I didn't realize were open. We all continue to grow in grace, right? I do want to encourage you, though, to not let those questions wear you down to where you're playing into the devil's hand and silently walking away from a lost soul. A potential gospel door-opening answer: "Psalm 127 in the Bible says they're like a quiver full of arrows. It's such a blessing to have strength in numbers. Would you be interested in visiting our family at church this Sunday?"
Everyone will have to decide for themselves which comments they are okay with.ReplyDelete
The "your hands are full" is an insult to my kids, like they are a nuisance by default. It sounds too much like, "Wow, sucks to be you!" I have never heard this comment when the kids weren't being perfectly good. Nobody would accost a mom struggling at the store with that comment, it's only ever said when all is well. My kids hear it virtually every day. While the kids do plenty wrong and do need correction, it is not the responsibility of strangers to make them feel like a nuisance and a burden daily. I will not allow it.
I wonder if all the sanctimommies who see this as an opportunity to minister the gospel would think it's okay to comment to every disabled person how difficult their life must be, and to show them such pity.Replies

As the only "sanctimommy" on here since your comment is obviously referencing my post, no I would not go up to any disabled person and say how difficult their life must be, because I know. I help take care of my unsaved bed-ridden dad who has repeatedly rejected the gospel and may not make it to Christmas. Every week I'm over there I see how much weaker he's gotten and how much suffering he goes through. Understandably children shouldn't be made to feel like a burden. As a sister in Christ I was hoping I could show a possibility to build them up by calling them blessings and strong while not shutting down someone who doesn't know any better. Your husband taught me from the Bible about politeness to strangers, even if they aren't to you. The scripture of coals of fire on their heads come to mind. Like I said, I'm not perfect and don't take every opportunity to witness to someone. However, if taking council from your husband's online preaching makes me sanctimonious, I don't know what to say. May God Bless your family this Christmas.Delete
Exactly. When I see a mom with more than me (I only have three), I ask how many (if it's natural...I don't just run up to people at the store) & then say..."Oh, you're so blessed! I hope I get to have that many!!" I hope other Mom's wouldn't find that offensive & it's true...I would like as many as the Lord would give me, but my husband only wants four.Delete

"Yes, I do have my hands full and each of these children are a blessing from the Lord"ReplyDelete
This has opened so many doors for me to share Christ and sometimes assured strangers that they do not want to talk further with me. ;)
My my... Who knew the most innocent blog post could cause such a stir!ReplyDelete
It really does sound too much like, "Wouldn't want to be in your shoes!" (And along those lines..) I like that you pointed out how it must make the children feel.
My two are 7 years apart (7 and 9 months) I of course get "oh why so far apart?" I'm sorry but why on earth is that any of your business?! I usually just respond with "That's just the way it's worked out so far!" then they find out the 7 year old his homeschooled... oh my, the pity that comes across their face!
How about, "They are so well behaved!" Or "Aren't they cute!?"
Hope you are feeling well! Have a great Thanksgiving!

My kids are 6 1/2 years apart and I used to get that same question all the time. It wasn't planned that my kids be so far apart, but when all is said and done I loved it. My son, the oldest also has the most beautiful red/gold hair. Neither my husband or I have red hair and we always got the question "Where did the red hair come from?". After about two years of this, we just started responding "He got his hair from God.".Delete

I have heard of incidents in which a religious person will approach a wheelchair-bound man or woman and insist if he or she repents of his or her "sins" than he or she will experience an immediate and miraculous cure!ReplyDelete
I totally agree that "People don't think before opening their mouths."
It's not just secular people who are guilty of this, ladies!
I agree that the "your hands are full" comment is rude. I try to always respond with "and I love it" or "I'm blessed to have them. I want to make sure my kids(6 of them) always hear love in my response because that statement no matter how intended is not loving. Our society treats children as such a burden and I don't ever want my children to feel that from me.ReplyDelete
Love reading about your beautiful family.
I lovely lady I know who is pregnant with her 9th child, and she posted a picture on Instagram recently of her in a shirt that said "House Full, Van Full, Hands Full, Heart Full". I thought is very sweet. Having a full life does mean your heart is full. Children will only feel like burdens if their parents treat them that way. It's all in the parents' perspective and I think it's important for parents to demonstrate that regularly.ReplyDelete
We have 7 children 0-12, both adopted and biological with various special needs, physical and emotional, in the mix. I know from reading posts like this one that I am SUPPOSED to be insulted and offended when people say that I have my hands full. But for the life of me I can't. Giving people the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming they want to be mean or insult my children is a much happier way to live my life, thank you very much. Besides, I would rather people walk away from their encounter with us being uplifted rather than thinking I'm the cranky witch who lives in the shoe.ReplyDelete
My personal favorite in a situation like this is to say with a genuine smile, "Nah, this is only 66% of my kids! The other third are in the car with Daddy!" Or wherever they are. :) Much friendlier and still gets them to realize they can't assume things about strangers. Plus the look on their faces is usually priceless!

It's always in the tone they say it in. I can have 2 people make the same statement, where one of them is trying to conversate and the other is demeaning. I have 6 kids 10 & under that are almost always accompanying me to Costco. One cashier says EVERY TIME "6 kids? I had 4 and wonder why" Ugh..I can take it as an adult, but I don't want my kids to have to hear it. 2 times of that, now I avoid his line. We were just there this week and a man in front of us at checkout said "wow, 4 boys then you finally got the girl, now your done?"ReplyDelete
"Um...no, there are 2 girls. We had 4 boys then 2 girls."
Customer "oh, I have 2 kids and can't stand them, I don't know how you can handle 6"
My hubby was with me that time and couldn't believe it!
It is crazy how so many people make rude comments right in front of our children. The worst is when they say that our 10 year old is SO SHORT to his face, it would be like me saying to them "wow, you're so fat".
Moral of the story: Keep stupid statements to yourself.
I definitely do love the times though where people are complimenting how well behaved they are, how beautiful our family is, and how blessed we are.

I have said the dreaded "you certainly have your hands full" in the past but I always said it kindly and meant it with admiration and respect. Having children is hard work! I have heard other parents say this is an insult so I no longer say it. I usually just say how beautiful the family is.ReplyDelete
Does you costco allow concealed carry because mine in virginia doesn't :(ReplyDelete
I get the rude comments as well and it can be very discouraging, because the comments come from my family. For example when I told my family that my husband and I were going to have another baby the first thing out of their mouth was "Did you plan to have a baby" I was shocked 1st of all that is none of your business. I don't know why it bothered me so much. And the comments that followed like "how can you afford to have another baby" since I am a stay at home mother and wife and its so unheard of to survive on only 1 income (in their eyes) I quickly replied "The Lord will provide" And the Lord provides not only financially, but He provides the strength each and every second of everyday. I can relate to the annoying, brainless comments people blurt out. Hope your pregnancy is going well!ReplyDelete

I wouldn't worry. I get comments all the time, about all manner of things. Some people just feel obliged to comment on anything & everything. It is probably not a veiled insult.ReplyDelete
I don't mind the "You have your hands full" that much. The one I hate is "do you know what causes that?" I especially hate it when a man says it to me. I only have 3 kids so far, ages 5, 2.5, and 9 months. Then they look at me like I have 3 heads when I say I want more.ReplyDelete
I have been receiving all the above mentioned comments and then some for around twenty years,you can tell who are genuine or a bit unaware of what they are saying and you can tell who want to insult.Frankly it doesn't bother me too much I learn to go with it at the time. Mostly I love to say how much I love what I'm doing,it encourages and inspires others who may be struggling with what they have.I can be a light, I don't need to worry about what they really mean, I need to take the good with the bad and laugh at the ridiculous ,a good line I have for the "don't you have a TV at home" is.. Oh yes we have three.. It throws them everytime and I get a good laugh.my children catch that I love them and love being with them and besides I love taking them all out juSt for the shock factor. I have twelve and Id twin boys are 8 months old now and I also have three grandsons and another on the way, and you should see that confusing picture when we are all out!!!, it's so foreign to our society now, but we are living out our faith in front of the world and in doing so you never know whom you may encounter,blessings and encouragement to you as you raise a godly heritage fit the Lord 😊ReplyDelete

The Virtual Group feature provides a mechanism for logical grouping of the Navigation Pane's database objects by category, so that all objects are more effectively organized. It can be applied to many different object types, including:
All of Navicat's database management and design products, i.e. Navicat MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and Premium, include a Navigation Pane. It provides more than a means to navigate between your connections, schemas, databases and database objects. In Non-Essentials Editions, it also features Virtual Grouping, which is a logical grouping of objects by categories. In today's tip, we'll be going over how to manage your connections within the Navigation Pane. In part 2 we'll learn how to utilize Virtual Grouping.
In What to Monitor on SQL Server (Part 1), we reviewed two of the four main categories of performance metrics to monitor in order to gauge SQL Server efficacy, namely Disk Activity and Processor Utilization. Today's blog will cover Memory and Server operations.
Microsoft SQL Server is more than 30 years old now, and remains one of the most popular commercial relational databases in use today. It runs very efficiently with only minimal tweaking, but can also be tuned for optimal performance. Before fine tuning your SQL Server database, you first have to monitor its performance over a broad spectrum of conditions and workloads. In today's tip, we'll review a few of the most instructive metrics to monitor in order to gauge server performance.
One of the numerous significant changes to MySQL Server for version 8 includes a new component-based infrastructure. That will make the architecture more modular while allowing users to extend server capabilities through the addition of individual components.
Each component provides services that are available to the server as well as to other components. In fact, the server itself is now considered to be a component, equal to other components. Components interact with each other only through the services they provide.

One of the things I love about Spanish culture is the great value they place on the family here. In accordance with this cultural feature, I was whisked off to a huge family dinner at a charming local restaurant within minutes of arriving at Puri's (whose house I call home while I'm in Spain. There I was introduced to a staggering number of aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandchildren, and everyone was—as is typical of the Spanish, I've found—extremely warm and friendly, welcoming me as one of the family. I'll admit, I was a bit overwhelmed at the time, due to the lingering effects of jet-lag and language skills which were far more limited two days after my arrival than they are now, after three weeks of living in Spain. Looking back on that afternoon, however, I grow to appreciate that time with Puri's family more and more.
Since that quintessentially Spanish meal (which is a two-hour-long event replete with paella), I've met more members of Puri's extended family, and they've all been incredibly kind and welcoming. This weekend, in fact, during my recovery from a bit of a stomach bug, Puri's sister Rosa came by to check on me when Puri was at work for the afternoon. I've felt very cared-for since arriving in Spain; I greatly appreciate my Spanish family!
During my first week at Puri's, I was able to get to know her nephew and his family, who were visiting for the week…and one member of the family happened to be an adorable ten-month-old named Sara. Especially during my first-week language struggles, it was often quite comforting to simply babble to Sara, who didn't notice or care if I paused for inordinate amounts of time between words or simply devolved into coos of "cariño" when I just couldn't find the words I wanted. It was also during my first week that I got to witness, first hand, the type of communal festivities which are such an integral and valued part of Spanish culture. A typical week in the barrio (neighborhood) of pescadores (fishermen) where I live? This involves live music played until late into the night and a neighborhood-wide celebration of the history of the community.
I was rather taken aback by the scope and scale of the festivities at first, and I couldn't help chuckling to myself during the first few nights of the week-long party when I mused to myself that a similarly hearty and animated celebration being held on the street until the wee hours of the morning would surely violate some noise-level ordinance in most US neighborhoods. One evening, I watched the municipal band of Alicante parade up the street behind local denizens bearing the figure of the Virgen del Socorro, the patron saint of fishermen, to the hermitage where she is housed. As all of this happened to take place right beside
Puri's balcony, I had a highly convenient, front-row view of all the goings on. Another evening, the loudest round of fireworks I've ever heard was set off, and on the final evening of the celebration, a neighborhood-wide costume contest was held. All in all, I would say that my first week's introduction to Spanish culture was quite exciting!

May 29, 2008
Senate and Assembly Republicans unveiled a plan that identifies $1.32 billion in unnecessary spending in Governor Corzine?s Fiscal Year 2009 budget proposal and uses it to restore property tax relief and aid to state municipalities, while eliminating the need for gas tax increases to finance transportation needs.
You can see Senator Kean?s and Assemblyman DeCroce?s YouTube video about the plan here.
In addition, Republicans also announced a series of long-term structural reforms to the state budget, reforms to the state pension and benefits system, and an aggressive economic development agenda to create jobs and revitalize New Jersey.
?This plan for a better New Jersey is a common-sense financial strategy to make our state more affordable, and your government more accountable to its citizens,? said Kean, R-Union, Morris, Somerset and Essex. ?We?ve listened to New Jerseyans over the last few months as they told us what should be done, and we think we?ve come up with an ambitious, but practical approach that lets everyone get more of what they want from state government.?
?Our primary concern in crafting a state budget should not be the priorities of Trenton politicians, but those of the taxpayers who are demanding a more affordable New Jersey and a government that is more accountable,? said DeCroce, R-Morris and Passaic. ?This proposal is a reprioritization of state spending that provides more tax relief, a strategy to increase the share of pay-as-you-go funding for our state?s transportation program, and more money to reduce the debt burden now facing our children and grandchildren.?
The Republican plan calls for re-allocating $1.32 billion from the Governor?s Fiscal Year 2009 spending proposal. Republicans would restore $525 million in property tax relief that Governor Corzine has put on the chopping block. This includes keeping the state?s commitment to property taxpayers by restoring the $375 million of Corzine?s proposed cuts to property tax rebates ? rebates that last year Democrats in the Legislature promised taxpayers would be permanent ? and also restoring $150 million in municipal aid cuts that will be used by municipalities to offset projected property tax increases. This also includes funding for rural state police patrols.
Republicans will constitutionally redirect $500 million of annual and recurring revenue as a permanent source of funding to bolster the State?s transportation program. Democrats are fighting amongst themselves about whether to raise the gas tax or tolls some other tax to pay for transportation when it is obvious to taxpayers that a $33 billion budget has ample resources within to finance state transportation needs without asking them to pay more.
About $100 million would be set aside because it?s prudent to build a surplus in a time of uncertainty. The remaining $195 million freed up by trimming overspending on various programs will allow the Legislature, working on a bipartisan basis, to explore other priorities.
These include the possibility of restoring funding for hospitals and nursing homes, financing more of higher education costs and maintaining the NJStars tuition assistance program. It could also include the elimination of the newly proposed Medicaid co-pay, and putting an end to the redirection of dedicated funds for State Police classes and the arts.
To address the state?s long-term fiscal crisis, Republicans proposed a series of structural reforms designed to gradually put the state?s budget back on sound fiscal footing. These reforms include:

Dear All,
The first point I would like to make about astrology is that I agree with Arthur C. Clark who said, "I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Sagittarius and we're skeptical." I should also like to point out that I have friends who are very dear to me who do believe in astrology; and I respect their choice in the matter. But the constant new-year chatter on the radio by people who claim to give the public 'well-founded and scientific' advice about how they should live their lives in the coming year calls for comment.
I am well aware that there is no refuting astrology in modern science because astrology has no basis in modern science. It does not matter to an astrologer that it is a simple thing to show that where the obstetrician stood when you were born had a greater effect on you than where Venus was at the time. Nor is it important to show that the precession of the earth over the last two millennia has not been correctly accounted for by modern astrologers; something I watched the late Prof. Anthony Fairall demonstrate in a very entertaining lecture at UCT in 2004. The reason why these explanations do not matter is because astrology is not a science, it is a pseudoscience, developed, as Carl Sagan points out in Cosmos (MacDonald, 1980. p. 49), by a "strange combination of observations, mathematics and careful record-keeping with fuzzy thinking and pious fraud." There is no structured way to refute fuzzy thinking and fraud.
This does not mean that I am unaware of the role that astrology has played in our history. We have always had a deep longing for explanations for the many inexplicable things in our lives and this is why the interpretation of the heavens by Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy, AD c.90-c,168) almost 2000 years ago, is still with us. It is a marvelously appealing idea that we are in some way intimately connected to the stars and so the effect of astrology has certainly been pervasive in the Western world. We still speak about a disaster (Greek, 'bad star') and as I am urging you to consider my point of view, I am reminded that the etymology of consider is the Latin considerare which has the literal connotation 'to observe the stars'.
But what of the pages and pages of mumbo-jumbo in the Your Stars section of almost every newspaper and magazine sold today? Is it all just an innocuous dalliance? How seriously should I take Tracy Shaw's advice printed in the Cape Times of 6 January 2012 that I should avoid "grand gestures" today? (Incidentally I see that Shaw, BA Hons; CF Astrol. S, London, is billed as a consulting astrologer, which I interpret to mean that she actually charges for this 'advice'.) The fact is that it is all claptrap and it takes no more than the simplest research to show it to be nonsense. Choose the output of five or six consulting astrologers from different parts of the world and record what they say over a period of say a year, then see if you can find any correlation in their predictions at all. I leave it to you to work through the exercise but give you the assurance that the outcome is well established.
Finally, I should like to return to the question whether this is merely an innocuous dalliance? Sadly no! I have a sibling who has actually made some real, disastrous decisions as a result of this rubbish. And when I listen to the earnest callers on the radio I get quite angry because they sound as if they are going to do as the astrologer says – not realising that the advice being dispensed is based on a birthdate as a starting point on a bogus look-up table. I do not get angry so much with the people peddling this nonsense, perhaps they actually believe it, but angry because those good callers are so easily hoodwinked. I am reminded of Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell's comment, "The real threat is that people don't know enough science to realise they're being misled."

As you start wedding planning, you may discover expenses that you had not considered. Use these top tips to make sure you stay in the black.
Look at the season
The time of year can inspire many ideas for your wedding, from what you wear to your table decorations. Your wedding month will also offer a variety of seasonal flowers, which can inspire your colour scheme.
Be realistic
If you are set on an outdoor ceremony, choose a reliable month for fine weather but have a wet weather contingency plan.
Decide on a theme
Flowers, stationery, table linen and even the wedding cake can all be designed to complement one another and co-ordinate your wedding look.
Take wedding planning inspiration from your venue's décor, your favourite flowers or the colours you would like your wedding party to wear.
Who will do the organising?
This can be a crucial and political decision! In the event of a possible permanent family rift, a wedding co-ordinator is an essential option!
Do your research
Prices and quality of service can vary hugely and the selection can be overwhelming. Go on referrals or friends' experiences – these provide the safest choices.
Think about the pace
Although you would like it to last as long as possible, this does not work in practice. A successful wedding is one that flows and where your guests never get bored, hungry or thirsty.
Consider different venues
If your chosen reception venue is a long drive through narrow country lanes, your guests may struggle to find it and arrive late. Review reception venues within a sensible proximity to the ceremony location before you confirm your booking.
Give yourself time
Wedding planning takes time. A dress can take up to nine months to be made, venues often have to be booked a year in advance and invitations should ideally go out six to eight weeks prior to the big day.
Enjoy yourself
It's important that you relish your wedding planning, as well as the end result.

Gunk In My Sinuses Created Chronic Pressure

Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I'm stunned right now. For about the past year and a half, I've had chronic sinus infections, seven of them to be exact. I'm convinced it became fungal because, when the antibiotics would clear the infection, I could still feel a sludgy kind of junk in my sinuses.
I also made the correlation of my sinus infections with the exact timing of a burst pipe in our house which took months for insurance to clean it up. I'm 100% certain there is mold and fungus in my crawl space, so as a result it was affecting me. I have a history of allergies to molds and dust and have seasonal allergies.
I just ended my last round of antibiotics two days ago. Last night I could feel the pressure in my sinuses growing, and I was devastated. I just received my essential oils and was layering the oils topically and inhaling them, and then I read here at www.Oil-Testimonials.com of someone ingesting 10 drops of the Thieves oil blend and swabbing his nose with the Purification oil blend. That was it!
Within an hour I had purchased capsules, made my Thieves capsule, ingested it, swabbed my nose... and within ONE HOUR I was noticeably better. It was probably sooner, but I didn't acknowledge it because I didn't want to be disappointed.
I took another one today when I got up, another at lunch, and then one tonight after dinner. I've NEVER EVER felt this good in years! My ears are actually popping, and I can hear better and have my energy back. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE MY LIFE BACK!!!!
If I have to take Thieves the rest of my life, so be it. Not a big deal at all. I'm a believer, and now I'm going to become a distributor! I'm so thankful that my Young Living distributor happened to find me!

The effects of Cineole in the treatment of acute bronchitis were clearly measurable and could be proven after a treatment period of merely 4 days. This study corroborates the fact that Cineole actively and significantly reduces cough frequency after four days."
|Associated topics: sinus-infection — "The antibacterial activity of 14 essential oils and their major constituents in the gaseous state was evaluated against [respiratory tract pathogens] Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. [The] oils [with cinnamon bark, lemongrass, and thyme being most potent] and their major constituents were shown to be effective against various bacteria tested.... These results indicate that the antibacterial action of essential oils was most effective when at high vapor concentration for a short time."
|Associated topics: fungus — "As proven in vitro, essential oils [Eucalyptus, Melaleuca Alternifolia, Thyme, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Cinnamon, Grapefruit, Clove, Sandalwood, Peppermint, Sage] represent a cheap and effective antiseptic topical treatment option even for antibiotic-resistant strains [such] as MRSA and antimycotic [antifungal]-resistant Candida species."

In patients with acute nonpurulent rhinosinusitis, timely treatment with cineole [a.k.a. eucalyptol... found in eucalyptus, camphor laurel, laurus nobilis, tea tree, mugwort, basil, wormwood, rosemary, sage, and cannabis] is effective and safe before antibiotics are indicated."

A pilot study was initiated to determine the killing power of clove oil.... SEMs revealed dead mites on the fibers....

WAYNESBORO, PA. - Occupancy of the Pennsylvania National Guard's new armory in South Mountain, Pa., has been delayed by about two years, leaving the future of the Waynesboro armory in limbo longer.
The state's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs confirmed last year that it would close the Waynesboro and Gettysburg, Pa., armories when its new facility is operable. That was originally projected to be in late 2007.
Local municipalities began exploring the possibility of acquiring the Waynesboro site when they learned that a community's organizations, government and schools are the first entities given the opportunity to purchase surplus property.
The armory on Pa. 316 can't be sold until at least 2010, after it has been vacated and cleaned, said Mark Austin, the military and veterans affairs department's director of facilities and engineering.

listener request
From: Robert Johnson
To: Pacifica National Board
Cc: WBAI Local Station Board
Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 5:16 AM
Subject: listener request
Dear Members,
I've listened to WBAI, warts and all, for about twenty-five years. Sometimes its courage and beauty wet my eyes. As a listener, in autumn of 2000, I joined the movement to depose the PNB corporatist cabal and to reinstate the fired and banned staff of WBAI. Predominately, former staff led the movement in New York. They led with the slogan, "Whose station? Our station!"
When time came to develop bylaws for democratic governance of Pacifica, I learned this slogan's double meaning: For some, "Our station!" applied to a few rather than to the bulk of listener-supporters. This application was couched in the premise that these self-selected few were the final arbiters of "peace and justice" and knew best how to bring WBAI's various listening communities into a governance structure -- via changing schemes of entitlements that included almost anything but direct elections by an undivided electorate.
About forty people comprising mainly listeners regularly attended six months of WBAI Bylaws Revisions Subcommittee meetings. The subcommittee co-chairs, Ray Laforest and Janice K. Bryant, both members of the WBAI LAB and the iPNB, refused to bring the subcommittee's recommendations to the iPNB's first meeting in Berkeley. Before the Berkeley meeting, I spoke over the phone for about three hours with Ray, urging him to present these recommendations. Later, in a conversation with Leslie Cagan and Janice K., I said that after so many weeks of meetings, I would feel like a chump if the bylaws subcommittee wasn't represented in Berkeley. To no avail.
Bob Lederer, a WBAI paid producer, is a quiet leader and tireless organizer, adept on the chessboard of parliamentary procedure. He skillfully conducted activist planning into the early morning hours before meetings of the old PNB. After one of these planning stints in Houston, we shut down that day's PNB meeting.
After the iPNB was formed, Bob turned his talents to delaying bylaws ratification. He led end runs around iPNB procedure. In Washington, he was finally reprimanded by the chair for running up to Ray Laforest's side at the conference table to whisper in Ray's ear. Meanwhile, a handful of Bob's cohorts yelled demands from the audience. In a meeting hall of St. John the Divine in New York, Bob led about a dozen people in the physical disruption of an iPNB meeting. The reason for Bob's efforts? To railroad a bylaws proposal submitted after deadline.
Bernard White, WBAI Program Director, is laid-back and affable when not intimidating perceived "others" with his position. He has surrounded himself with a small cadre of belligerent associates, creating an atmosphere of fear and favor. Cerene Roberts, known for being contentious, is ubiquitous at the station, with vaguely defined duties. Fred Nyugen, infamous for gratuitous and rabid race-baiting on and off web lists, is now a reporter for WBAI news. Muntu Matsimela began to show up in the final bylaws subcommittee meetings, shouting and pointing the race card at strangers. Muntu is now the station's Special Projects Coordinator. Bok-keem Nyerere, who worked for the Pacifica Campaign, is now WBAI's Outreach Coordinator.
Ironically, Bok-keem and Muntu are now presumably scrambling to bring in even enough listener contributions to pay their salaries. The idea of moving listener contribution forward for new station projects or even fiscal health remains a hope deferred.
Bok-keem's latest most visible effort was to organize a WBAI "Black Caucus" meeting (perhaps financed by WBAI?) at Riverside Church. The meeting's theme was "WBAI STATE OF EMERGENCY: The Push to Remove Africans from the Top." Bernard White, Bok-keem Nyerere, Muntu Matsimela and Ray Laforest were among the scheduled speakers. Even with use of WBAI airwaves to announce this event, the meeting drew not many over 100 people, half of whom were familiar attendees of WBAI gatherings.
I hear fine rhetoric on the air from individuals who stonewall, filibuster and disrupt the democratic process of the LSB and its committees. They wrap themselves in the banners of almost every noble cause, and then do almost anything to keep messy democracy, with its inconvenient need for transparency and accountability, from facilitating review of station management and finances. They block the work of the LSB under guise of combating racism. The general message, as broadcast by producer Mimi Rosenberg, seems to be that people of European descent should step aside to allow people of color to determine their own affairs. Bernard White's cadre appears to extrapolate this broad notion to the business of WBAI and its LSB.
Ideological wrangles are part and parcel of democratic process, but continued disruption is killing this process. Disruptive actions have become physical and legally actionable. The hostess of the site of the last LSB meeting had to take the mike to say, "If I see someone get hit one more time, I will call the police." These tactics chill attendance of these public meetings. Some parties feel physically intimidated. Other parties, unafraid of schoolyard bullies, don't need schoolyard altercations in their adult lives.
Dan Coughlin, long-time friend of Ray Laforest, stays true to his New York crew. Coughlin helped midwife Amy Goodman's sweetheart deal with Pacifica. Coughlin also has virtually ignored, for a year, complaints against Erroll Maitland, once Amy's engineer at WBAI, of physical assault against a female listener.
Some of the individuals mentioned are sincere advocates of a better society and may believe their own rhetoric, or at least what they hear. Unfortunately, they continue to use one of the lowest cards in the deck -- race-baiting -- as their trump card in self-appointed control of WBAI.
The WBAI signal area covers well over sixteen million people in one of the world centers of culture, business, media and politics. As the world enters pivotal times, WBAI is losing listener support due to internal problems that translate negatively across 50,000 watts of community radio.
As the first elected Directors of the Pacifica Foundation, you are entrusted with a unique legacy and the grave responsibility to set in place the personnel and organization that can begin to realize the Pacifica network's untapped potential. Please take all actions necessary to ensure democracy in the governance of the New York station.

- Pray for the many YAs going overseas - for returning folks like Kenneth, Agnes and Shawn, that they will be encouraged and recharged after spending CNY with their loved ones; for the folks heading out for the first time - for Daniella on exchange in France, for David and Alvin for university in Australia - pray that they will sink roots in local churches there and continue to grow in their love for God's word and His people.
- Pray for the new evangelistic initiative (The Tuesday Enquiry) led by Jonathan. Pray that the team behind the initiative will be loving, wise & humble as they present the gospel to non-believers, and that it will be a safe space for everyone to have open discussions on questions about Christianity. Pray for GBC members to consider bringing their friends to the sessions and commit to them, both in attendance and in personal responsibility in walking with their non-Christian friends.
- Pray for the YA leaders - many of whom will be transitioning out of the ministry this year. Pray that they will prayerfully and faithfully consider where and whom in God's body to serve next, and that they will do so joyfully, lovingly and wisely.
- Pray that God will raise more leaders - pray that He will inspire, nurture and grow more young adults to step up and lead in this ministry. Pray for fruit in this ministry, that the gospel will continue to reach the nations.
- Pray for joy. Pray that we will all learn to delight in God's word and the amazing, loving, undeserved gift that is the gospel, and that that delight will fuel our ministries as we continue to labour faithfully.
Prayer & Praise:
Ping, Heidi, Benaja and Esra
- Benaja is now in 5th grade and Esra in 3rd grade. We praise God for Annika who is still faithfully teaching our children. She is a wonderful help and gets on very well with both Benaja and Esra. Annika's contract ends in July and we may have to look for a new teacher for the next school year.
- We would have liked to return to Switzerland at the end of the school year in July, but were told that this would not be possible as we need to extend our visas in November. So, we will continue another home-school semester and Lord willing, go on a short furlough in 2019. The Saluan people are a burden on our hearts and we would like to stay as long as possible here in Indonesia. At the same time, we want to do the best we can to give our children a good education. Please pray for wisdom and guidance that we will follow God's lead who always knows what is best for us.
- Thank GBC for coming alongside us and partnering with us in reaching the Saluan people with His Word for His Glory, for showing love towards us and the Saluan, for praying for us, our family and our ministry, for encouraging and supporting us in so many ways.
David, Gladys, Daniel, Faith, Jubilee, Jeremiah and Hope
- The work among our missionary colleagues & Thai leaders to carry on and
bear fruit for the Lord.
- Meaningful conversations with believers & impactful presentations in
churches during our time of ministry in the US.
- Daniel & Faith to settle into online schooling for one semester & strength for
Gladys as she home schools the triplets every weekday morning.
- God's healing & restoration upon Gladys' health & financial provisions for us
to return to Thailand for another term of service.
Rev Dick and Edith Hugoniot
- Rev Dick and Edith will be visiting Singapore from 26 Jan to 2 Feb. Please pray for God's traveling mercies & good health.
Fedora Teong's Preparation for Missions Field
- Raised full support for 2018 based on 2017 Total Support Figure (a portion is pledged)

LAKELAND, Fla. -- A large crowd turned out Friday to see Hurricane Hunter aircraft up close, talk with crew and learn from hurricane forecasters who risk their lives to keep us safe.
- Hurricane Awareness Tour made final stop in Lakeland
- Public could tour Hurricane Hunter aircraft, talk with forecasters
- Officials want you to be ready for Atlantic hurricane season
The event at Lakeland Linder Regional Airport was the last stop in an annual Hurricane Awareness Tour that focuses on preparing communities for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30.
"I think (Lakeland is) a perfect site, because if you think about a situation that's even a little inland... It may not be the surge that we are worried about here in Lakeland, but it's definitely about the wind... the heavy rains," said Kenneth Graham, the director of the National Hurricane Center.
As the season heats up, the Hurricane Hunters risk their lives on flights that potentially save so many in a storm's path.
"We fly above and around the storms at 45,000 feet. That way, we can get a full vertical profile of the storm and the environment it's moving into," said Lt. Cmdr. Rebecca Waddington, a Gulfstream IV pilot.
Data retrieved on the flights help forecasters better predict where the storm is heading and how strong it will be.
"I tell people in general, NOAA is doing research and building models for hurricane prediction. Somebody needs to go out for each storm to plug the data into those models, and that's what we do," said Air Force Lt. Col. Jeff Ragusa, the chief pilot for the Hurricane Hunters.
The tour also stopped in Texas, Alabama and Louisiana.

It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon." ― Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost
This quote so perfectly describes this fall family photography session from Megan Lena Photography. Brown sugar and cinnamon indeed, we could eat this little family right up! Thank you for sharing your craft with us Megan!
What We Love:
Megan: For the past five years, I've been doing my best to make others enjoy a photo session instead of suffering through it. It can definitely be stressful; you spend money on the session and outfits, get haircuts, bribe the kids…I get it. I've been there and with a 4 year old and a 2 year old…I fully understand the stress! I like to start out a session by telling everyone how awesome they look; how perfect their outfits are and how great they look together. It is important to feel comfortable in your own skin before you can feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. I like to take a moment to get to know everyone, and relate to them. I always remind moms of little ones that I too have kids…nothing your sweet children say or do will shock or surprise me! I encourage them to play with each other. Oh there are crunchy leaves everywhere? Great, play in them! Throw your two year old in the air, tickle your 4 year old, tell silly jokes. To get the more "posed" everyone looking shot, I let them play, giggle, tickle and then quickly tell everyone to look at me…play and then pose. In my experience the candid, unposed shots are so great to have…but I think most people DO want at least a couple shots of everyone looking at the camera. This family was a joy to work with-they were truly happy to be together taking pictures with one another, which made my job a breeze. After our session, they told me they'd never felt so comfortable for photos. Success.
Lisa and Rachel: We love that Megan shared some tips with us about how to make her clients feel comfortable in front of the camera. An anecdote or short story gives context to the session and helps our readers understand how photographers get such great shots! We often see photos that are either extremely candid or extremely posed. Megan's sessions is "lightly posed" they are photos clients would hang on their walls but still are carefree and lighthearted, so thanks for the tips Megan! If you are a regular reader of Life + Lens Blog you know how we love fall, so here is another beautiful fall session to cherish before winter – it will be here before you know it!
Gear: Nikon D610 and Sigma 85 1.4.
Location: Brownsburg, Indiana.
Where to find Megan:
We would love to know how do you make your clients feel comfortable in front of the camera, leave a tip below!
We are always accepting submissions for possible features on the blog. Please see our Submission information for further directions. We are looking to showcase family photo sessions as well as milestone celebrations (birthday parties, baby showers, cake smash, religious celebrations) and style inspiration for both home (nursery, kids' rooms.. ) and family photography sessions (what to wear, packaging, etc.)
Looking for more fall family session inspiration? Take a look at this adorable fall session from Lisa Olohan.
Life, Lens, + Love,
Lisa and Rachel
