Last year, I decided that I was not overweight. On surfing the Internet I came across a weight loss program, started my eye. I thought I would have tried everything when it came to weight loss programs, but boy I was dead wrong. I was reading and how in Essen is more powerful than prescription diet pills, because depending on what you eat when you notes are thin or thick. They said that the exerci
Viet Nam plans to gain 10 billion U.S. dollars in realized capital of foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in the country this year, up from more than 8 billion dollars last year, according to a local investment agency on Friday.
To realize the target, Viet Nam is focusing on accelerating site clearance and resettlement for people affected by FDI projects, the Foreign Investment
I was in college.
Up late talking with my friend Erin about all those deep things you think about when your in college.
Who likes who. How many calories the pizza had. And whether the “grunge look” would be going out anytime soon.
And then we started talking about life and our relatively recent realizations that it didn’t revolve around us. I suppose, up until that time, I had somehow thought that everyone else was simply an extra in my life - existing solely to add texture to my daily world. It hadn’t occurred to me in my previous 18 years that every other person on the planet had a life filled with complexity, just like mine.
I felt dumb that it took me 18 years to realize that.
And I feel dumb now.
Last night I read this story (HT). It’s an ac
The men on Uncle Dan's side of the family favor facial hair. I love listening to my dad play the guitar and sing. I love listening to my family sing together. I hide from people by pretending to work on...
Yours is the first face that I saw
Think I was blind before I met you
I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I [...]
The mass nightmare I fear is the current polluted environment we have allowed to completely encompass our school aged children. To truly understand this environment entirely, allow me to first state these three individual nightmares completely and seemingly separate and distinct. However they collectively create the magnitude and far reaching influence of the environment I am referring to. I am not attempting to be an alarmist or simply trying to frighten you in the spirit of the season of Halloween. This environment is truly a nightmare and you too will experience its frightening effects sooner or later with your children.The first nightmare I refer to doesn't sound all that frightening and it seems more of a pet-peeve rather than a real problem. Lately, I have noticed this happening whenever a news agency has the two major political parties on a talk-show to discuss and answer questions. When one side, and it truly doesn't matter which side, because they both do it, is asked to ans
Today, I am smartarded. That is what the Palinode and I call our cat, Onion, because he is almost not slow and guileless, but not quite. He knows how to get three thousand pets by bedtime but has not figured out how to push open a door in over a year of watching our other cat do it several times a day. He is smartarded.The insides of my ears hurt, but let's move on from that.Last night, I dreamt that the cool brush of mild winter-morning air was on my cheek. Everything was a dusty shade of perriwinkle in that moment before the sun broke over the horizon, and I inhaled deeply that scent of fresh, clean snow.And suddenly, winter does not seem so much like a thing to mourn. For someone like me who has spent every winter of her life in some lesser or greater form of emotional distress, this is heartening.Of course, the Funny left a little while ago anyway, but I am sure that that may correspond to the pain in my ears.If you could hear the huge fart noise my cheap pants just made on m
I wonder how much it would take for the Hillary Clinton supporters to see what problems she really has. She is neither honest nor ethical, especially when it comes to campaign donations. But I would bet that wont make a bit of difference to her supporters. There could be a YouTube video of her frying and eating babies and the left would still not waver in their support for her. ~RJH New York Times article link Clinton Sees Fear Realized in Trouble With Donor By PATRICK HEALYOf all the possible vulnerabilities facing Senator Hillary Rodham Clintons presidential campaign, Mrs. Clinton has long believed that the one of the biggest was money, friends and advisers say. Some sort of fund-raising scandal that would echo the Clinton-era controversies of the 1990s and make her appear greedy or ethically challenged.As a result, Mrs. Clinton told aides this year to vet major donors carefully and help her avoid situations in which she might appear to be trading access for big money, advisers s
When everyone realized I wasn’t ready for my wooden overcoat I got shunted into physio and, as already mentioned, psycho. Physio drove me nuts but in the end I almost enjoyed psychotherapy; gave me a chance to try out different personalities and quirks, just to see what ‘Sigmund’ made of it. Mind you, there are enough people out there who firmly believe I never needed to fake any quirks. They could be right.Well, I finally got away from the torture chamber masquerading as physiotherapy and was taken for my ‘fitting’, a nice term for my introduction to a manual wheelchair. In the early days it was fine. At least I got around, even though I got pulled over for speeding in the hospital corridors. And once I got a fixed penalty fine for double parking opposite a gurney.No sense of fun these quacks.Now nurses,ah,they were fabulous.I think their sense of fun,despite the long hours and frankly horrible tasks they got stuck with,went a long way towards keeping me relatively sane or a
In my time on this earth there are things I never realized,
just fanciful dreams a young man idealized.
But the older I get I have come to a realization of you,
Not in how you look but the things you do.
But what is it about you that makes me love you?
It's your gracious smile that makes all things new.
Your self sacrificing heart of putting others first,
the bountiful love you have dispersed.
Thinking of the family I have through you,
Their little eyes glowing sky blue.
Seeing how you unwaveringly love them,
Your eyes sparkle back like a gem.
For the love you give to our children two,
Is reflected back in my eyes to you.

The Ladies Of Sears Exhibit Breathy Fascination In Three Directions(Sears Catalogue, Spring/Summer 1971)I have shaved my legs not once, not twice, but thrice in the last week. (Despite my near-sightedness, I have even managed not to slash my ankles or the backs of my knees, a feat in itself considering that I have not practiced shaving in the last ten months).I have started taking walks in order to work off this chowflap I've developed. (If chowflaps had the flashy accoutrements of breasts, it might be fun to dress it up in some sort of sequined halter, but alas, no, the chowflap is a lowly and largely unrecognized part of the human anatomy which is left to stifle in solitude beneath layers of clothing. Oh, the poor chowflap).I feel strangely optimistic today. (It has been so long since I felt optimistic that I wasn't even sure what I was feeling until the Palinode called me up and said I'm feeling strangely optimistic today. I just thought my coffee was extra good).Last night,
I few evenings ago at the roadhouse I served an elderly gentleman somewhere between his late sixties and early seventies. He sat alone in a booth with room for six, peering through his glasses at the menu before him. When I approached the table he struck up a conversation by asking if I was a student. After I respond with a yes, he inquired further about my future plans and how I wished to use my degree.At some point after I had brought his food to the table he remarked that he wasn’t used to being at restaurants and looking across the table to an empty seat instead of seeing his “favorite girl.” He quietly explained that his wife had fallen and broken her hip a week before and had been hospitalized ever since. Each day he would drive the hour trip to spend around four hours with her
Well, I heard many enough of people sucided in college base on the high pressure they did to themself. I have been in college in 4 months and have some idea of how this happened. I have seens a lot of people running around and busy doing their works, but they are actually have no idea what to do to get their work done effectively and chronologically. They end up suffering in class afterward. Maybe it is time for me to manage the time. Staying organized would eventually make your life easiler.

This movie pretty much catapulted me out of the closet. Sandra Bullock is a goddess!!This scene would be a defining moment in my lesbianism. I felt things "down there" that I never felt before. Sandra Bullock, if you're reading this, I just want to say THANK YOU for being so damn hot!
Raise!
It’s the first Friday of Spring in the States and…pay day! This is my first paycheck to include my merit increase for 2006. It’s a nice monthly boost which will just barely cover my rather large rent increase for the next 7 months. Time is really flying now. It’s hard to believe it’s been 5 years since I conjured up the idea to travel around the world. Here’s the rough plan:
Late September - submit resignation at work (shhhh!)
November 3 - last day of work
November 4 - move key possessions to storage, and shack up with my retired parents
November 22 - celebrate Thanksgiving with family (parents only, as brother likely to be overseas)
Soon after - fly to New Zealand (exact date to be determined based on cheap airfare)

and felt undefined possibility pulsing through my body, I was hooked. I knew I was meant to be a mama.submitted by anonymousMy period wasn't yet late and I was thinking of names, thinking how the hell to get out of the chaotic swirling mess of an abusive relationship I was in; thinking of how I could save my own girlchild from being raised a victim, how I could teach my boychild to solve problems without his fists. Already envisioning myself saved and reborn through the magic of birth. I had no idea that after the birth the work really began. Far from bestowing grace, birth is messy... it pushed me to the edge of strength, through terror and collapse and beyond death... into greater awareness: bigger lessons: harder work.On that first night home, alone with a wailing newborn, exhausted from 18 hours of labor and 2 days without sleep, I was walking into walls and to this day I can't remember if I ever thought to nurse my babe. Maybe I did... maybe I knew just what to do... but that'
Lisa from Amarillo, Texas asks:
Can capital gains realized on real estate sale be invested in stocks within the 45 day time frame or must the replacement be real estate?
My reply:
The net proceeds that you receive (which may be all or part of your taxable capital gain) from the sale of real estate can be invested in anything, with no time limit.
However, if you are really asking how to defer
