Stayed 5 nights while we were in Toledo for a wedding, and it was a fantastic stay! Rooms were spacious and very clean/updated. The included mini-fridge and microwave were great to have, as we were able to bring in leftovers and reheat them. The bed was very comfortable, with extra pillows too; slept very very good.The included breakfast was great and included many options. Eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits & gravy, toast, cereal, pancakes, yogurt, granola and more. It was also great having the coffee & tea available 24 hours too. Complimentary Wi-Fi worked great, and the staff was always helpful and in a great mood. Within the same parking lot is a pizza place, convenience store, and a good bar/restaurant called Icon's. There are several other places to eat/drink very close by. Would definitely stay here again if traveling back to Toledo.
Room Tip: We had a third floor room, since others suggested they easily heard noise overhead. Didn't hear...

Couldn't afford a week in sunny Florida so we settled for a weekend at the Hollywood Casino in Toledo. The Holiday Inn Express was one of the hotels recommended by the casino. We found it to be convenient, clean and friendly. Just 3 miles from the casino. Comfortable rooms, very quiet even though they seemed to be filled with a gymnastic group. Nice pool area. Next time I'll remember to bring my swimsuit. Yes, we'll be back.

I had to fly to Ohio last minute for the birth of my grand-daughter and after sleeping the 1st night in the waiting room of the hospital....I was desperate on day 2 for some sleep!! Well the Holiday Inn Express is just a half mile form the hospital. Well because I flew in, I had no transportation. I asked the front desk if they would help me with calling a cab.....the manager--- Michael said; "Hold on....I'll just take you there myself. No need to call a cab." What an AMAZING favor he did for me!! He dropped me off right at the front entrance and said Congratulations and Happy Valentines day!! I have stayed in many hotels but THIS was over and above what any of the others have ever done!! I will always stay here when I come to town to visit my family!! The room was very clean and the towels were folded like pretty fans. The bed was so comfy and the pillows-- well I wish I had those pillows at home!! Everyone was very polite and friendly too!! Thank you Holiday Inn Express for making my visit so easy and comfortable!!! You rock!
Room Tip: All of the rooms are good size and the showers are really nice!

Last year, I had a less than satisfactory stay at the HI Express Oregon. I spoke with manager Stacy then, and she gave me some Priority Club points and promised me things would be better next time. I took her word and decided to give the place another shot. I'm glad I did. At check-in, I found out as a Gold member, my room was upgraded to a suite. A very nice gesture. When I got to the room on the third floor, I found out it wasn't the typical suite I have stayed in at other properties, but a jacuzzi room! I was so happy I wanted to thank Stacy personally, which I did.The entire staff was very friendly, always greeting me. Even the housekeeping staff on the first floor was very friendly towards me. Have to say the Friday overnight guy was great in arranging a late checkout for Sunday. Didn't catch his name, but a really great guy to talk to.The only problem I had didn't affect me personally, but there were people smoking on the first floor between the elevator and breakfast area. I mentioned it to David at the front desk before heading out for the evening, and he took care of it. Certainly not the hotel's fault some people don't bother to follow the rules!Everything went great, and the next time I plan an overnight stay in the Toledo area, this will be my location. This just proves that giving someone a second chance can really pay off.

Thank you so much for the tremendous 5 Star Review. But more importantly, thank you for giving us a second chance. I know how hard it is to step out of your comfort zone and give someone another shot. We are not perfect 100% of the time, even though we try. We switched the internet to fiber optic and it is wonderful. The HD TV's are switching to fiber optic on Monday also. I am glad that you had a nice stay and will be returning.

We go to Oregon to visit family and Holiday Inn is 5 minutes from them, so we have stayed here plenty of times. I thought I would try other hotels in the area to see what I was missing, I checked in to the others in the area, but none of them had the service that this hotel has, we even tried one downtown and was super disappointed. This time around the hotel was full and we had to find another hotel downtown which was about 15 minutes from the family, we had to pay for parking, breakfast and a refrigerator and they charge more for the room, which was nothing special, kinda rundown. The closet was super small and the shower head leaked and the staff wasn't very helpful at all. We had booked 5 nights because we were there for a funeral, I couldn't stay but one night. I called the holiday Inn and asked if they could find a room for us and REED was able to help and get us a king jaquzzi, He was wonderful, very helpful and courteous and I was so thankful he got us in. This hotel offers you so much more for the price of the room, free parking, All rooms have refrig, microwave and coffeemakers. They offer a decent breakfast with coffee at no extra charge and the staff is the greatest, clean rooms with all the amenities you need. The rooms are nicely decorated, I know the lobby needs upgrading ( which I was told will happen this summer) but all other services are great so that really doesn't bother me at all. Oh, and the pool is a nice size with jaquzzi, Will always stay here when in town.

I had stayed here on January 11th, 2014. The hotel itself is very nice. Facilities as well as the room was great. I also was upgraded to a "jacuzzi room" based on my Platinum Elite status with IHG. Now here is where the problem kicked it. 1) Around 1130PM Dave came up to my room to inform me that I had a couple noise issues. First off, I am in a room with a massive HOT TUB! The thing itself sounded like a jet engine while it was running? Am I only allowed to use the hot tub during certain hours? If so, I was not informed of such a policy. I admit I had a couple friends over to the room; however, getting in and out of a 4 foot high hot tub is not exactly easy to do with complete silence. 2) I checked my IHG Chase Visa account today and noticed a $200 dollar charge that I was not exactly positive why it was there. After calling the hotel and speaking with a one "Stacy" I was informed that it was a "smoking fee" First off, I was never even made aware of such a policy during check in. Clearly, I think that there is a responsibility with the front desk staff to inform guests checking in of such a ridiculously high fee. Second, the fee was based on cigarette butts in a can that was disposed of in the hotel room itself. For someone like me and most of my friends not littering is becoming more and more of the norm. Hence why most smokers now a days "field strip" their smokes to put them out and put them in their pocket until they can discard of them properly. Fact of the matter is, I did NOT smoke in the hotel room. Furthermore, even if I did, I FIRMLY believe that based solely on the fact I was not even informed of such a policy or fee upon check in. To me this sounds like the perfect opportunity for hotels to discreetly generate more revenues for their properties.As of now, Stacy has the owners looking into some sort of video at the front desk. I do think she was being polite; however, it is absolutely absurd that a property can attach fees of such large amounts without even giving the patron a proper informative explanation of such policies. I worked at a hotel for 3 years and we were CONSTANTLY trained to inform every guest that smoking in the room or on balconies would result in a $250.00 dollar fine. I am hoping the hotel does what is right, but for now I am waiting for a phone call and if I don't get one reasonably soon I will be contacting my Chase IHG Rewards Visa CC company to dispute the charges, the BBB to file a complaint, IHG Corporate, and eventually contact my lawyer if need be. In conclusion, I really did like the room and the property as a whole. I was a bit disappointed in the treatment I got based on "noise complaints" that occurred at 1130PM on a Saturday night! I had a massive hot tub in the middle of my room. And from reading previous hotel reviews from this specific property it seems that this "noise issue" is quite common. Finally, I have no problem paying fees or fines for smoking or even the room smelling like smoke; however, this is something that SHOULD NOT be "in the fine print" It is a low, deceitful, appalling manner in which to take hard earned money out of the pockets of your hotel guests. Not to mention, I am the highest tier status with their rewards program and hold their Chase Visa card. The entire situation makes me sick to my stomach as I have NEVER had an issues in the hundreds of times I have stayed in hotels for both work or leisure. I almost feel like I was punished because "Dave" had to come up twice and warn me about "noise" Please explain to me how to be extremely quite when you have a jet engine setting next to your bed?
Room Tip: I just wouldn't stay here again. It is a shame, because I have actually stayed here quite a few...
Helpful? Thank Brandon B Report Ask Brandon B about Holiday Inn Express Toledo-Oregon
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. Please call me back at the hotel. The number I have on file for you is incorrect. I pulled your registration card and you INITIALED where it states that there is a $200 smoking fee. Our staff also informs each guest of our smoking fee as they point where to initial. There are also Non-Smoking signs at the registration desk, by the elevator, all over the hotel, at each room entrance and in each room. Your room strongly smelled of smoke and cigarette butts were found in cans. I have pictures. We had to take the room out of order, strip and deep clean the entire room, including carpet cleaning. Non-Smokers are very sensitive to smoke smell and we work hard to provide a smoke free facility. We charged the $200 to help offset some of this cost.Three rooms complained of noise coming from your room. This noise was not from the Jacuzzi but from people stomping and yelling while watching a Playoff Football Game. These complaints had nothing to do with your smoking fee.Sincerely, Stacey Wiseman,GM

Cate Banfield | ER wiki | FANDOM powered by Wikia
Characters, ER staff, Doctors
Children Daryl Banfield (son, deceased)
Adoptive son (name unknown)
In the Season 15 episode "Heal Thyself", the audience begins to learn about Cate Banfield's haunting past and how her experiences have damaged her emotionally. Set in 2002, 6 years earlier, the flashback episode revealed a happier Cate Banfield with her husband Russell (played by Bassett's real life husband, actor Courtney B. Vance) and their 5-year-old son Darryl. Banfield had a more youthful look with longer black hair. She is smiling, which was never seen by the show's audiences until this point. In this episode, she stated to Dr. Greene that she worked as an ER attending physician at the University of Chicago. She went to medical school at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Banfield was hired in 2008 to become the permanent Chief of the Emergency Department, replacing Dr. Skye Wexlerwho was serving as acting chief. The board had decided to offer the permanent position to Dr. Gregory Pratt, but with Pratt's death, Banfield was brought in as his replacement. She first appeared in the second episode of Season 15 and immediately puts the whole ER on edge with her tough attitude. It was mentioned that she flew to Indonesia to help that country deal with the 2004 tsunami disaster. On her first day, Nurse Haleh mentioned Banfield looked familiar as if she's been at County before, which Banfield immediately denies. Her first day as Chief tested her skills as an able and efficient leader when a bio-terrorist released a bag of weaponized Ricin in the ER, necessitating an evacuation and quarantine. She briefly met and clashed over a gunshot case with Abby Lockhart, who was finishing her last shift on her last day at County General. Nonetheless, Banfield made amends with her new acquaintance before Abby departed for Boston.

Excellent hotel with all the Danish style one would expect clean lines we were on the 13 th floor great view over the lake and surrounding city scape. The room is very well laid out with plenty of space for two people a nice day bed lounge along the window for reading and watching what is happening outside, the room is well lit.Breakfast is served in a light and airy breakfast room, ample selection of food for breakfast. The staff throughout the hotel have been helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The only improvement would be two suitcase stands in the room as there is plenty of space, but very few hotels have two of these.Easy walking distance to all the city attractions.Would recommend, and would stay here again if we are ever in Copenhagen again

I was going to rate this hotel with 1 star, because there were 4 of us int he room @$480 / night, but, had only one towel & one washcloth, no bath shower enclosure and no bath mat ( splash from the shower reaches the toilet floor ),may cause slip. I had to put my used towel on the floor after wiping it.However, their lobby restrooms were clean and roomy and the breakfast was the best I've seen.

I recently stayed here for 2 nights whilst on business in Copenhagen. Check-in was quick and the staff were helpful, and gave me a room on the 17th floor (#1716, top floor, aside from suites). The hotel was busy due to a large conference, but this didn't cause any problems at all.The room was reasonable and had everything I required. The bed was large and comfortable and I had no problems sleeping. Due to the high floor, there was no noise which was nice. The room and bathroom were both very clean and had plenty of amenities and towels for my stay. The shower was good and had hot water and good pressure each morning, even at peak times.The breakfast was very busy one morning due to the large conference, but there was still plenty of food and drinks available (cooked, cold meats, pastries, cereals, etc.). The second morning was a lot quieter but again, still plenty of food and drinks available. I didn't use the restaurant for dinner as I walked into the city instead. I have previously been told it is good though.The hotel is located within walking distance from Copenhagen train station (Köbenhavn H), and also within walking distance to the centre and shopping areas such as Strøget (the longest pedestrian shopping area in Europe), with lots cafes, bars, shops, and places to eat.The hotel was reasonably priced, although there are cheaper (and more expensive) hotels in the area. It appeared to be a reasonable price to pay for the hotel class and location in Copenhagen.

We stayed for three nights and found the hotel a good base from which to explore Copenhagen as most attractions are within walking distance. Excellent breakfast with a wide range of options. Rooms reasonably clean and spacious but our room at the back of the hotel on the second floor was quite noisy; a room at the front could possibly avoid the noise of refuse collection in the middle of the night. On the downside, conferences are held here during the week so the bar and reception area can get very busy, however staff are friendly and very helpful. Bike hire is available and an excellent way to see the city. A good standard hotel.
Room Tip: Ask for a room at the front of the hotel overlooking the reservoir.

Essence Crystal | Yu-Gi-Oh Card Maker Wiki | Fandom
Essence Crystal is an Archetype of Equip Spell Cards created by Taylor Gorrell. The Archetype is a very simple one, as they all possess almost the exact same lore:
Equip only to a(n) *insert Type*-Type monster. When the equipped monster attacks: Increase its ATK by half its current ATK during the Battle Phase. After damage calculation: Destroy this card.
As such, there is one Essence Crystal for each Type in the game, except Divine-Beast and Creator God. Due to how specific they are, using multiple different Essence Crystals in one Deck usually isn't a very good idea. However, "Crystal Cruncher LV4" and its evolved form "Crystal Cruncher LV8" are able to use any Essence Crystal card, so a Deck that uses them can use multiple different Essence Crystals with relative safety.
The Essence Crystals are based off of the Gems from the Pokemon video game franchise, which gave an attacking move of a specific Type a 50% power boost (only in Generation V; the boost was cut to 30% in Generation VI) when used, but the Gem could only be used once. "Crystal Cruncher LV4" is based on the Pokemon Sableye, who is stated to eat gemstones, and "Crystal Cruncher LV8" is based on Sabludiam, a fan-made Sableye evolution created by Taylor Gorrell. The ability to use any Gem derives from a fan-made signature move for both Sableye and Sabludiam: Gem Crunch, which can steal any Gem that an opponent is holding and eat it, giving Sableye or Sabludiam the power boost on standby.

Having grabbed a rebound, Katenda soon felt the finger of another player who was going for the ball poke him in the eye."I knew it was bad when it happened," Katenda said. "It was just a freak accident."The force of the player's finger severed Katenda's optic nerve."Right now, I have no vision in my eye," Katenda said. "The doctors have told me that they can't do anything to fix that."Notre Dame, which followed Stetson in identifying Katenda's talent and offering him as a junior, could have definitely used him following the decision of forward Carleton Scott to turn pro.But Fighting Irish coach Mike Brey is currently more concerned about Katenda's well-being and has told him his scholarship at Notre Dame would be honored whether or not he could play, according to the Chicago Tribune."I don’t know if I've been more depressed, handling Eric and talking to him through this," Brey said. "He's been unbelievable. His frame of mind has picked me up a couple times on the phone."..."He's great. He understands the reality that playing basketball at the Big East level may never be part of the equation again. He's very understanding of that. In the last two weeks, I think he's really come to grips with understanding that getting an education is now very, very important. He's very realistic about it."

this was a good listen too. It is hard to really get into a story where you dont particularly like the main character at all. I don't regrett listening to this book but I by no means would recommend this book to anyone.
Historically irreplaceable in adding context to the fall of a Libyan dictator and his family.
title didn't fit
I was intrigued by the story, and very interested in the historical evevnts. the story line became strange and the title didn't fit.
Lots of weird noises piped in
3D audio means background sounds. Like screeching brakes (terrible in a car) and lots of other horrendous noises.
The story is full of “poor me foreign girl” who tries to scam Libyans and seems to have not done any research on the very country and people she is living with and trying to scam.

See the most recent reviews Belqees E
I spent 5 nights there with my friend, the room was nice , comfortable , cleaning service provided everyday, bathroom was big enough (usually European toilets are small) and had been cleaned everyday, towels were changed daily as well. breakfast: you will have a discount at the coffee just outside the hotel. no complaining about it.Location: Location is amazing, the best location you would dream of with such price, just close to all sightseeing. cavour metro is just 5 min walking around the corner, plus several bus stations, even if you won't need it cuz everything is too close, Colosseum, piazza venizia, via nazionale, via del corso, (i hope i wrote them right :P ) .. etc even fontana di trevi and other places if you want to walk , otherwise you can take the metro and change at termini station to the red metro line to reach them faster.the price is reasonable in terms of services if you compare it to other hotels with the same prices, so for me was a good value of money.finally, special thanks to Santo, he was very welcoming and nice to us, and all the other staff, they helped us alot during our staying and they were available 24 hours to assist us.my only complain is the room light , i wished if it was better than this, i got the red room and the light was not so good.

Where Love Starts: Winter Hosting Day 11
Winter Hosting Day 11
This was the girls first day at church (okay, N2 has been there before) before heading back to Meme and Papa's for a second Christmas with Auntie Jill. She has a an eye for detail and frill so her packages were sparkly with huge shiny bows. The girls were "wow!" before they even opened a gift!
N1 meeting Mr. Jim. One day she will know how much of a role he played as a prayer warrior and more in her life.
N2 went to Sunday School with Nan. N2 had to sit with us. She was a bit overwhelmed and our pastor talks sort of fast so she sort of zoned out. I looked up each Scripture and showed it to her in her Bible. She shifted from my shoulder to Michael's shoulder when we would wake her up.
Christmas with Papa: he requires us to put together this picture of the farm before he lets us open gifts each year. Here you can see him supervising!
The girls had lots of fun with Auntie Jill's pretty bows!
What could be better for supper than eating our gingerbread houses.
I think that had as much fun deconstructing as making them!

Cricutmimi: May 2011
Hope everyone is rested and ready to begin a "normal" rest of the week.
The card I have for you today is for my mother-in-law's birthday next week. We have lots of June birthdays so it keeps me on my toes to make different cards for everyone.
The front of this card has a large flower on it. Diane @ Capadia Designs posted the instructions for this one. She received a promotional bouquet to invite new members into the Cricut Circle for a free 3-month trial. She figured out a way to make the flowers. Very easy and I love the result.
Inside I used Elegant Edges to cut swirl no.1 with the blockout at 4 1/2 ", the square frame with the shadow cut at 4 1/2" and Paper Lace to cut happy birthday with the shadow cut at 3". I added some punched flowers and bling to dress it up a bit.
Hope everyone is able to relax today. Schools here are not out until June 2nd and they have to make-up a "bad weather" day today. (What a bummer.) Anyway I did get a few cards made this weekend. I have June taken care of.
This one is an anniversary card for my son and daughte-in-law. Their anniversary is June 6th but they took advantage of this 3-day weekend to go to Miami to celebrate and relax. They will be back today.
Here's the card and the recipe.
I used Sweethearts cart for the silhouette couple cut at 3 1/2"
Tie the Knot cart - Forever with shadow cut at 1 1/2"
MS Elegant Cake cart - Happy Anniversary with shadow cut at 1 1/2"
Add a little bling, MS corner punch and ribbon and it's done.
Thanks for looking and God Bless you all.Hugs, Stephanie
I have finally been able to get some of my cards done the last 2 days. I needed a simple graduation card for "very" extended family that is very generic. On this one all you have to do is change the colors.
The card was cut from Wrap It Up cut at 4" and Congrats and the shadow was cut from Life's a Party cut at 1".
I have to say that cutting congrats at 1" leaves some really thin lines on some of the letters. I mean REALLY thin.My "E" would never have cut it well but my "E2" cut it perfect. I think that's the skinniest cuts I've ever made. I am really liking this machine. I'll just be glad when I get my replacement Gypsy so I can control where I put my cuts on the mat. I also miss my "hide contour".
OK, enough gab. Here's the simple card. (really simple)
Hi, everyone. This is a birthday card for my youngest sister. Today is her birthday and her card is in the mail so it's OK to post it.
I used Damask Dcor for the present card cut at 5", Birthday Bash for Birthday Wishes cut at 3 1/2", and the dog is cut at 2 3/4". ( I don't remember what cart it's from-I did not write that one down)
Well I decided to try posting a pic again this afternoon. This time I had to sign in to get a pic from my computer. Who knows what that's about. Anyway this is the pic of me that I tried to post before.
Posted by Stephanie at 4:32 PM 3 comments:
I don't want anyone to think I haven't been checking on their blogs, but "blogger" won't let me leave comments. All this week I have tried several times to leave comments and when I hit post it takes me to the screen where you have to type in your email and password. I do that and hit "post" again and it takes me back to the "email, password " screen. No matter how many times I try, it does the same thing. I have visited so many of you and seen such wonderful projects in the last few days, it really disturbs me that I can't leave a comment.
Just know that I am looking and I will keep trying.
I still don't have a card done, although I have half a dozen I need to do, I thought I would post a very "old" picture of me when I was 2 yrs old. One of "millions" of pictures we had to remove from my mom's house.
Well, Blogger won't let me post the pic. I get "server rejected". Anyone know anything about that?
I haven't been able to post lately. I also haven't been able to craft either. We are still going through things at my moms. We are trying to get all personal things disposed of before the sell. So much stuff. We thought we had shredded all the paper work with vital info on it. We found some big plastic bins which we thought had just memories in them, but guess what? It was more papers. Financial, bills, insurance etc. It all has to be gone through and shredded. It seems everyday we find something else. So many of the older papers have their SSN on them. It's just so overwhelming.
Anyway the point of this post (there really IS a point) is not to leave all the outdated paperwork for your kids to deal with. It would have been so nice if my mom had gone through all the OLD papers when she was sitting and not able to do much else. My dad died in "04 and there was all the papers from his years of illness. Medicare, insurance, doctors, hospitals, surgeries, therapy, everything pertaining to him. It's just too much.
So if possible, do your family a favor and don't keep 40+ years of papers.
I hope this helps someone. God Bless you all. Hugs, Stephanie
More E2
I got to play around a little more this evening. Of course, my grandson wanted me to work for him. He picked a cut off of Spongebob, Gary. Next he wants the treedome and Plankton.
I think this one was cut at 71/2", all layers.
So far the only thing that bugs me about this machine is the fact that you can't place things where you want on the mat. You can add spaces between cuts but when it adds another row of cuts they are placed as close as possible to the top row. I don't know how to get around this.
I'm hoping when I get my replacement Gypsy it all works together to take care of this.
Anyway here's Gary.
Thanks for looking and God Bless you all. Have a great weekend. Hugs, Stephanie

Hi, all. I know I've been MIA lately, couldn't be helped. It's very hard to do what I want to do when there is so many "have to do" things right now. I just haven't been able to relax and enjoy my hobby. Yesterday was a little better and then it got a lot better, I got my E2! Yippee!!!
I watched some videos yesterday morning before it was delivered at 11:40 CST and read through the guide. All worked easy and I made a cut right away. I hate to waste cuts, so I cut all the layers and decided to make a companion cut with layers from Just a Note.Then I chose a couple of phrases from American Alphabet and turned my sample cuts into a card. Just couldn't help myself. I'm so glad we have the booklets. It felt so good to create something, even this simple card. I hope I can keep going, but we'll be going through more stuff at my mom's this weekend and that throws off my thought processes.
Anyway, here's the simple (but kinda cute) card. Thanks so much for bearing with me. Have a great rest of the week. God Bless you all. Hugs, Stephanie
We have an Official Cricut Blog open to everyone. Isn't that fantastic? There are some fantastic prizes to celebrate the launch today. I just read about it at my good friend, Theresa's (Scrapper69) blog, http://miislucky.com/ . So head over there by clicking on the blinkie on my sidebar and become a follower. I can't wait for even more inspiration.
Bloggers back??? I think?
I've had lots of trouble with my blog the last few days. Right now it's letting me post. Hope I get it finished.
I got one of my cards for June done. This sister's birthday is a month from today. We're still dealing with my mom's estate so not a lot of time to craft. Haven't been able to participate in any hops or many challenges. Hopefully things will settle down soon.
Anyway, here's her card and the recipe.
I used Damask Decor, page 50 for the card cut at 4 1/4"; the envelope is cut at 4 1/2".
Happy Birthday is from MS Wlwgant cut at 2 1/4". A stamped message, punched flowers and a little bling.
Hope you all have a great weekend and thanks for looking. God Bless you all. Hugs, Stephanie
Hello, everyone. I received a very special award, the Cricut-tastic Award. from Glenda at http://glendascards.blogspot.com/. She is one of my new friends from blogland. She is sooo talented and I thank her very much for thinking of me. She does beautiful work and has some gorgeous cards posted right now. I love, love, love her side step Mother's Day Card. So thanks a bunch Glenda.
The rules are simple. Post 5 things about yourself and send it along to anyone you think is Cricut-tastic. That could be a neverending list so I will have to choose just a few.
5 Things, hmmm
1.I'm obsessed with all things Cricut and wish I could get everything.
2.I'm learning self-control by limiting my self to certain products. (not fun)
3. I ordered my "E" from the infomercial so I could get the Potpourri cartridge because it had cuts from lots of other carts so I wouldn't need to buy many.(you can guess how that worked out)
4. I'm the only one who does paper crafts in my family.
5. I just ordered the "E2" and I wish I had the Imagine.

Glenda, thanks again.
This is My Pink Stamper's 5th Challenge - something 3D. I made a gift bag and decorated it.
The gift bag is from Wrap it Up cut at 9" and the tag cut at 2 1/4"
The butterfly jar and butterflies are from Kate's ABC's cut at 3 1/2". Some ribbon from Michaels and a stamp and stickles. I hope to do 1 or 2 more challenges tomorrow if time allows. I really enjoy these.
My Pink Stamper celebration
You all know about MPS challenges today, well I hoped to participate more, but it just didn't work out. I don't think I got to sit and try to create more than 15 minutes at a time. Tomorrow I'm cooking foreveryone so I don't see much creating then either.
So far I've only done 2 of them. The first one I did was the first challenge of the day. You had to use a cupcake. I used Once Upon a Princess for the cupcake cut at 7". Mother's Day Bouquet for the flowers 5 cut at 1 1/4" and 5 cut at 3/4". Love Struck for Sweetie cut at 1".
National Scrapbooking Day! Yippee!
I would love to spend the day with my Cricut and computer but, alas, life gets in the way. I'm cooking for Mother's Day tomorrow and today is prep day and back to the store to get the things I forgot yesterday. I can't seem to get everything in one trip or at one store. But every free minute I will be back here in my "cricut cave".
I haven't used my cricut in a week but I did design a couple of b-day cards for my sisters in DS and the last 2 days I created a Kusudama ball. I never heard of this before either so it caught my attention.
I subscribe to lots of different blogs and I read there posts while drinking my coffee every morning. That's how I wake up each day.
Anyway, a couple of days Bobby Jo at Sweet Sassy Diva posted this project, a flower ball. It's folded paper glued together to make 5 petal flowers. You use 60 3" squares all folded into petals, 5 petals to a flower and you make 12 flowers. Not hard but takes a good bit of time.
This is the site for the tutorial http://foldingtrees.com/2008/11/kusudama-tutorial-part-1 . When you read it there is a link to click for part 2 that shows how to put it together. I made one for my mother-in-law for tomorrow. (she's such a peach) I think she will like it.
I really want to remember this for the holidays. I think they would be beautiful for Christmas and great for showers.
OK here's the picture, hope you like it.
Thanks for looking and have a great Mother's Day. god Bless you all. Hugs, Stephanie

Bernard & Sleepy Hippo's Excellent Hippo Adventure: Celebrations!!
A year ago this weekend we were the ring bearers at Frannie and The Builder's wedding celebration. It was, of course, a very great responsibility looking after the rings. We were a bit scared we might lose them. Fortunately, The Builder's granddaughter Rebecca was there to help and the rings made their appearance at the ceremony at the right time and in the right place :-)
We were very surprised when we realised that this weekend had been the one year anniversary. That year surely went very fast. Mind you - we've done lots of exciting things. so it was bound to go quite quickly.
Frannie and The Builder decided to celebrate with lots of foodie fun. Fair enough. The wedding weekend last year was marked by a very great deal of foodie fun!
So there was a pub for lunch on the anniversary itself, followed by a delicious "Sunday" meal in the evening. Vegetables and potatoes from the garden and allotment. They had roast meat from the local farm. And there was, of course, an ample supply of nice wine.
On Sunday itself we all trundled down to Cambridge to take Taffa, Gareth and Auntie Joan out for a celebratory Sunday lunch on a Sunday in The Green Man in Trumpingdon.
Then we brought Taffa back with us ready to start her new job back in Sheffield bright and early on Monday morning. Much too early if you ask us. We all had to leave at HALF PAST SIX IN THE MORNING to get her there for her 07:00 start. Much, much too early for sleep-a-beds like us! We have now gone back to our cosy bed at Freyja's house to recover.
We will miss our holiday base in Cambridge very much. But it will be good to have Taffa, Gaz and Frank Lyon closer at hand. Their new house isn't all that far from Freyja's house and is a delightful bus ride away from Frannie and The Builder's place
So, gentle readers. Raise your glasses to Frannie and The Builder, who have marked a year of wedded bliss. And to Taffa who has successfully started her new job. And to our human, Freyja who, on Sunday, roller skated 26.6 miles at the Goodwood Park circuit with the Sheffield Steel Roller Derby girls to raise a whole lot of money for the Sheffield Children's hospital
Posted by Bernard and Sleepy Hippo at 19:30
Roller-skated 26.6 miles! Wow! That's a lot of roller skating! Congratulations to your human!

What's up?: The Best Sandwich Ever
Yesterday, I had the best sandwich ever.
Before I can go any further, I have to set up the scene. Over the past couple of years I have been engaged in a battle over my health. I went to the Doctor and he said I had high cholesterol. So, I ignored him for over a year, probably more like 3 years before my wife forced me to return. I had stayed away from him for so long that they filed my patient information in the vault. So, I had to redo all of my paperwork and take the annoying blood test again. But because of my age, 40, he felt that it was necessary to perform other tests as well. Tests that violated my manhood.
My Doctor is a kind little Pakistani gentleman. A very nice guy, and I like him as a person, but I reserve the right to dislike all Doctors as a profession, but that is another story. His nationality is only important because it is much funnier to imagine him saying this to me with his accent as I was huddled in the fetal position on the examining table, "Do not worry. My fingers are small." Those are the exact words he used. It did not make me feel any better, and as far as I could tell he might have been using a broom.
I tried to avoid returning to my Doctor to discuss the results of my blood test, mostly because I don't want to take any pills (and I didn't want another probing). I don't trust pharmaceutical companies or the FDA and I have visions of me taking some sort Alli like drug and being forced to live with the side effects (warning- link is descriptive and bodily functions are discussed using vulgar words, less offensive link here). After a good 6 months, my wife made the appointment for me.
When I finally visit my Doctor, he says that I have to diet and exercise. Diet? What is that? I eat what I want, when I want. I always have. My weight has not really changed since I was in college, but I must admit the distribution of my weight has been altered.
I have decided to attempt to play along with this, "Healthy Eating," routine. One of the things that I am supposed to do, is eat three good meals a day. I normally only eat one time a day, dinner time, and I consume large amounts of caffeine to keep going. I work harder this way and I've been doing it like this for years. But I haven't adopted the new way quite yet. There is too much work- physical work, that has to be done. If I eat I get sluggish, so no lunch for me.
My wife is too good to me. She has not let up on me doing the healthy eating thing. Everyday she reminds me of what I should be doing, and it seems that my three children have been listening. They are all aware that I am hungry when I get home.
We are almost to the best sandwich ever.
I come home Friday afternoon and my baby girl meets me at the door with two sandwiches in her hand. Savannah is 5 getting ready to go to kindergarten. She says,"Daddy, I made you some sandwiches," and she hands me two sandwiches. It was such a beautiful moment that I teared up and almost full-out cried.
Amy, my wife, says, "Tell Daddy what you put on the sandwiches." At this point I don't care what is on them. I have already decided that I am going to eat them no matter what. So I speak up and say, "I bet it is everything I like, isn't it baby?" I am questioning the wisdom of eating the sandwiches, but there is no way I can hurt Savannah's feelings. I convince her that I want to take everyone to dinner and that I will eat them for lunch on Saturday. I need the time to mentally prepare for my performance.
Saturday, lunch time. I sit down to eat my thoughtfully prepared meal. Two sandwiches.
Ingredients; white bread, turkey, mayo, sweet and spicy mustard, peanut butter and honey (and a ten inch long sandy brown hair). It doesn't sound that bad, and truthfully the first sandwich was nearly tolerable, but you have to remember children don't acquire the ability to smooth the ingredients evenly until about 12 years of age.
The second sandwich I took 3 bites from and I could not continue. The whole time I had been smiling and making yummy sounds, and telling Savannah how wonderful the meal was. When I put my sandwich down, Amy mercifully said, "Are you getting full?"
Savannah says, "Well, you can save it and finish it later." I jumped at the opportunity, and slipped the sandwich back into the plastic bag before carefully placing into the refrigerator. It was decided that I would finish it as a midnight snack.
As I placed the remainder of the sandwich in the garbage, I did cry. Savannah will be making all of my sandwiches from now on. And I will eat them. I just might need to guide her a little during the creation time...

Paul's Ponderings: Responsibility and Purpose
Here is a question I have been pondering lately: what is my responsibility?
Instead of talking about purpose (is that still a fade in church families today?), perhaps we should address what our responsibility is. While the two are linked, purpose seems like a much more glamorous idea. After all there are times we get stuck taking care of our responsibility, while we visualize that we get to live out our purpose.
In Colossians chapter 1 the apostle Paul writes about his God-given responsibility:
“God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his message in all of its fullness to your Gentiles.” (Colossians 1:25; NLT)
Paul says his responsibility is about serving the church. It wasn’t about Paul going out and making a name for himself, but it was about obeying God and doing what He asked Paul to do. It wasn’t Paul’s name, but expanding God’s kingdom that was important.
One of the things I struggle with is that I want to do things that will get me noticed and have people talking about what a wonderful and spiritual guy I am. Though I have to admit that I am a walking contradiction. In small settings I would much rather melt into the background than to be noticed. So I want to have the big stage and the accolades, but I don’t want to foster real and meaningful relationships.
You see I want people to seek me out and ask me for my wisdom and advice. That is how I want to influence people: by being the big shot. That makes it had to be humble and do those things that won’t be noticed and will bring no recognition.
I think in our minds, at least in mine, it is through our purpose that we get a name, while responsibility often leads to anonymous acts of service. I much rather live a life of purpose than a life of responsibility.
Not only responsibility about serving, it is also difficult. Remember elsewhere in his letters Paul tells of all the difficulties that he faced as he took the Gospel to the Gentiles. He was persecuted, beaten, whipped, went hunger, stoned, and was shipwrecked (that is the short list). It was hardly the stuff of glamour. Instead it was the stuff that pushed Paul to his limits.
Responsibility is often like that. It will test us and push us to our limits (ask any mother who spends her day doing the essential work of raising children), but it is what needs to be done. There are no special awards or recognition and the majority of time it will go unnoticed.
We would rather live a purpose-driven-life than a responsibility-driven-life, but the church has survived through the centuries because people were responsibility-driven rather than purpose-driven. Being responsibility-driven means that we will do what needs to be done, even though it falls outside of our purpose and brings us no recognition. And it is by doing our responsibilities that we end up accomplishing our purpose.

very insightful, and great to hear, really spoke to some things i've been thinking about, have you read Bill Hybel's book Holy Discontent. Really rocked my brain kind of along these same lines. thanks for sharing was really insightful for me today.
I have not read Holy Discontent. This was something I realized as I kept daydreaming about a "grander" purpose while neglecting the responsibilities that I already have.

Posted on July 21, 2017 by dghealth	Reply	While Googling recently (for Technology Enabled Care related reasons!) I happened to come across PawSquad. They provide “instant, qualified online vet advice” through the provision of video or text chat consultations to keep your pet “as happy and healthy as they can be”.

Posted on June 23, 2017 by dghealth	Reply	Advanced nursing practice is not a new concept. Indeed, specialist nursing roles, from which advanced nursing practice has evolved, have been around since as early as the 1920’s. The advent of World War 2 dramatically enhanced the specialist nurse role through the significant development of new skills which were required to meet the huge and urgent demand in hospitals and infirmaries throughout the world. The clinical nurse specialist (CNS) role was underpinned by academic qualifications as early as 1954 and over the following decades, these nurses were fully embraced as experts in their fields. This academic foundation represented a momentous shift in the educational vision for nurses towards university-based knowledge development with expertise achieving the application of this knowledge in practice.

Posted on June 9, 2017 by dghealth	1	Barely a week passes without headlines (or Twitter trends) about diets and how to lose weight, improve your energy levels / skin/ hair / libido / life expectancy. Often these are contradictory and can lead to confusion. Whenever the headline suggests that a fad diet or miracle food is the holy grail that will solve all our health problems alarm bells should ring!
Dietitians Week Annually, the BDA run a weeklong event called Dietitians Week, aiming to promote the importance of dietitians and the great impact they can have on the nation’s health and wellbeing. This year the week runs from 12-16 June and is taking the theme of Evidence and Expertise and you will spot our myth-busting displays around DGRI. This is to promote the importance of ensuring that dietary and nutrition advice comes from evidence-based sources, whilst highlighting the risk of following guidance that is not scientifically credible.
Posted on May 30, 2017 by dghealth	4	“What matters to you?” day is on 6th June and you may have seen information about it around the place. We are encouraged to think about what matters to us and to have conversations with individual service users, their families and our colleagues about what matters to them, so we can use that information to improve the care and support we give to individuals and their families and promote a healthy working environment.

Posted on May 4, 2017 by dghealth	4	I think all of us would agree that making informed decisions for ourselves or others is one of the most responsible and indeed worthwhile things we do on a regular basis. It’s something we largely take for granted.
Posted on April 26, 2017 by dghealth	2	I have an admission to make. Although a non executive member of NHS Dumfries and Galloway, I have never worked in the NHS at the coal face. However, the NHS was involved at the start of my life, and I suspect the same will be true for the end.

SOLVED: Unreadable disc unreadable disc - Fixya
Unreadable disc - Nintendo Wii Console
Posted by mrrdunne on May 02, 2010
The CD might be damaged or just dirty. Make sure it is clean.
If this is not the problem, I would have to ask a rather stupid question: Are you sure the CD is compatible on a WII?
My disc is unreadable and i am trying
A disc being unreadable can mean one of two things: either the disc itself is damaged, or the device trying to read it is not functioning properly. Try the disc in another device to confirm it's the disc and not the device. If the disc still doesn't work, track down a professional resurfacer as a last ditch effort
