Dear Mrs. Stewart,
You came to me after school today to talk to me about Wes. You said you walked over to him and asked him some questions about the book he had just read. His response was upset and he began to break his crayon, seeming frustrated.
You did not yell at him.
You did not get angry with him.
You did not sit him in time-out in a corner of the room.
Instead, you talked with him. You asked him why he was feeling frustrated. He responded with various comments.
You responded with, “Do you feel like you have too much on you right now? Maybe you are feeling a little overwhelmed?” He replied, “Yes, just a lot of things.”
Then you stopped. You stopped what you were doing, stopped to listen to a six-year-old’s frustration. You considered his upset worthy of your attention.
By doing this, you gave him tangible empathy. You gave my child your compassion. The rest of the class was working and being a teacher, I know you had other things to do, as teachers pretty much multi-task all day long, but you let all that go so you could sit with my kid and just listen.
That isn’t even the greatest part of this whole ordeal. You didn’t leave him there. Your kindness continued when you said, “You know what Wes? Let’s not worry about this book right now. Go ahead and put it away. I just want to pray over you.”
And then you prayed.
You prayed over my son.
With all your other students in the room.
I love you Mrs. Stewart.
Today my kid wasn’t up to doing his reading or his comprehension questions. You had a moment presented to you in which you could have chosen irritation and impatience, but no, you chose to give my child your personal time and love and then you gave him the love of his Savior.
This special moment has been saved in time as a moment of thoughtfulness and graciousness and while he might forget this moment, I can assure you, I won’t.
You, my friend, are worth far more than rubies or pearls. You are a cherished friend and a cherished teacher. May God make His glorious face shine on you.
Me, as a mom


First-- this post assumes Cas will be back at some point.* I literally can't imagine that he won't.
I think I've figured out why they're never gonna have Dean and Cas ~get together. I hear you snarking in your heads, people that don't ship it. Shush, you.
If Dean and Cas were in an actual romantic relationship, nothing would outwardly change except
any and all kissing/coucher ensemble/etc. I think their relationship would look pretty much exactly the same. They'd argue vehemently, and stare at each other a lot, and it's not like they'd actually go on dates or do anything coupley. And then at some point, Sam'd be like "Dean, you realise you and Cas are friends with benefits, right?" And then Dean would point out that Sam's just jealous
, which of course he would be.
And I hear you saying, "But wouldn't Sam be right?" But that's just the thing, I have difficulty imagining a difference between their relationship in, say, season five (or even season six) and their relationship if they were romantically together. It's not that if they started sleeping together, their relationship would somehow form out of the sex, it's that right now (i.e. in 10-20 episodes when Cas comes back), they are
romantically involved without
at all, come on, just one hug, jfc
. IMO. In my slightly-confused-about-things opinion. If you think them sleeping together would amount to fwb, then they are just friends and always have been.
The season of XF where Scully and Mulder get together is the perfect example, because we don't even know they're together, cause really the only thing worth mentioning that changes (in season seven) is that they start having sex. And we don't find out about that until..., well, it's debatable when exactly we find out about that. So when did their relationship start? They were obviously in love with each other for years prior to that. That in itself doesn't amount to a romantic relationship, but best friends + totally in love, does kinda, doesn't it?
I guess what I'm thinking is that the writers find Dean and Castiel's relationship, whatever that may be, interesting, or we wouldn't have grown to love it as much as we do. But I think they don't think that it would be any more
interesting with a physical element. I think that if someone had a great idea for a kissing scene (and they pitched it, that part's kind of integral too), and everyone was inspired by it, it would happen. And if you don't have the frame of mind that they should just make out already, a realistic first kiss is really hard to come up with for these two.** They're both hard-headed, and Dean has... issues. I have a scene in my head that's utterly perfect, if I do say so myself. I should draw it at some point. Funnily enough, I think it was X-Files-inspired. But I only have one that I really think is perfect for Show, and obviously I think about this a lot :|*Mulder was dead and buried for months, and he came back. And he was just a person. Juss sayin.
**This theory is just as solid for Sam n Dean, but obviously there are additional reasons they're not gonna do that.PS I can't stop listening to this sonnnnggg.
Okay, off to think more about ~things.
ETA: It is different from XF though in that the writers of XF recognised the fact that Mulder and Scully were in love. I'll argue to the ends of the Earth that it's canon that Cas was
in love with Dean, but it would be nice to acknowledge that as being at least a little reciprocated too. Eh, if you squint hard enough, that's canon too, and I can squint pretty hard.

I did the math yesterday (painful for me) and it's been over 13 years since Jonathan and I first really became acquainted. That means we've been friends for over half our lives! It seems crazy, especially since back then, other than having a major crush on him, I certainly had no idea that we would eventually fall in love, get married, and go through life together. (I would have LOVED to know that around age 15 when every other crush ended in heartbreak. =)
Psalm 37:23 says, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way." I thank God every day that I married a good man. Throughout our marriage, he has followed God (and I've followed him) and led us in the right way. He isn't perfect (and clearly neither am I) but he works so hard, take initiative, and lives with character and integrity, no matter what. People at church ask me all the time, "Does he ever sit still?" I usually laugh and say "Not much!" (although when he does it typically seems to be when I ask him to do laundry or something... huh! Interesting...) But really, he is constantly working, studying, helping, and just trying to be productive in general- not really a trait we share, given my love of naps!
Although we didn't have nearly as much time with my Papaw as I wish we could have, he always described Jonathan that way... "He's a good man." (Or a "fine man," as he liked to say.) And he is. He's good to me and to our friends and our family and our church. He's good FOR me. He encourages me in my interests and goals and dreams, he challenges my walk with God, and he indulges my silly little hobbies like shopping and writing about Disney movies. =)
Happy birthday to my good (great!) man! I love him!

My birth bestowed the title upon me when my parents named me Tchouassi. It means problem-solver and homebuilder. My passion for serving others, spreading joy and love, and creating harmony, drives my success. I helped couples who have difficulties understanding each other background differences focus more on their similarities to return intimacy and peace to their relationship. Also, I know their situation since I have been there and done it. I am on a mission to support as many couples as possible to overcome their background differences and return intimacy and peace to their relationship. Couples who want to work with someone who has good listening ears. A coach who holds them accountable and pushes them to do the right thing to attain the expected outcome. They want to do work that will move them from disappointment to satisfaction. They also want to work with someone who avoids passing judgment and centers effort on the success of their relationship. They want a professional who can help them eliminate any blockage on their ability to build a strong team. They want to work with a good and compassionate person. If you are one of these couples, let me say that you can count on me because I check all those boxes.

After I divorced, I didn’t even want to think about the possibility of a relationship for a while. Divorces can be a lot to handle and often they are worse than the reasons you decided to get one in the first place. For me, I needed to heal from the emotional journey of an unhappy relationship filled with a bunch of problematic years full gaslighting, passive aggression, and narcissistic behaviors that made me finally call it quits.
Then, once I re-entered the dating scene, I found things had changed significantly. There were so many ways to date that weren’t really the cool thing when I got married. A friend finally convinced me to at least do some research to consider a dating site. So there went my journey trying to find the best one to try out. Dating site after dating site they promised to help you find the person of your dreams and some even with a money-back guarantee if you didn’t start dating someone within a specified period of time. Some people got hip to that real quick so the money-back guarantee things seemed to fade away as quickly as it showed up.
Fast forward to today and in addition to the paid sites where supposedly “serious daters” go, there are many free sites or free versions of other sites that at least let you look. And then there are the hookup sites that unless you know that’s what they are you don’t find out until you realize all the people who match you want to do just that…hook up!
Eventually, I got the rhythm of balancing dating sites with real-life interactions and met some pretty cool people (along with some not-so-cool ones). What I found was that I really liked being single just as much as I liked being coupled up. Snuggling next to someone you really like and having them check on you just because is super cool yet so is not having to give up your side of the bed or bathroom. The thing is you have to really decide that being with someone again after 40 or after divorce is more about finding a rhythm with the person you are with and not the fairytale relationship life promised us. And honestly, even couples who have been together for a long time learned that the fairytale is a myth but they usually have one helluva story to share that makes you appreciate the commitment, tenacity, and genuine love.
If you want to date after 40 go for it. If you are holding back because you are afraid of getting hurt check to see if there is some residual hurt from your past that you haven’t let go of. There is no guarantee you won’t get hurt again but when you go in with the expectation of just enjoying the process one day at a time. Take your time and do your homework. Make sure you vet the person you are dating because unfortunately there are a lot of scammers out there but NOT EVERYONE is a scammer. The biggest thing I can mention is don’t get caught up with people simply because they like you or paid attention to you. Be sure they are a person YOU feel matches you and not simply the other way around. Enjoy!

It really is a very important factor to possess a boyfriend, but it’s another thing to have a date who enjoys both you and might be along with you for the remainder of your lifetime. A lot of us are looking for the second.
I’ll teach you some signs that may help you find out if he’s obsessed about both you and strategies on staying around for the long term. Utilize the backlinks below to hop into part that most closely fits your preferences.
First circumstances first, does he love you? Here is what to think about inside the behavior plus exactly what according to him:
I have my personal customers repeat this on a regular basis. Guys detest to-be nagged, but males love to be given a road map towards joy. Simply tell him one thing will make you pleased, and determine if the guy does it. If you attempt this, ensure you require something small in order to get this conduct conditioned by admiring him amply as he provides.
If he schedules a holiday for a number of several months down the road, asks visit a wedding way in advance, or begins talking about just what it might look choose to live with each other, it indicates he anticipates to get along with you by the time these programs reach fruition.
A man which requires to meet up with your own mother or best friend is performing so because he really wants to get acquainted with you much better.
He really wants to get acquainted with you better because they have both comprised their brain in regards to you or perhaps is very close to making up their mind and would like to reinforce his decision through good interactions together with your family and friends.
When a guy is actually playing industry, he might have two to five ladies he is speaking-to at any time. If he has that numerous women, it could be very hard to speak to all or any ones each day. But if he wants to chat to you every day, there is a higher likelihood he is focused on both you and eliminated another feamales in his existence.
As an individual, you listen to yourself while perform whatever is considered the most fun action to take where time. You have zero or very little obligation, while do not report to anybody. But if another provides your cardiovascular system, all of a sudden you are willing to carry out acts in order to make your spouse happy that’ll never be your own primary priority at present.
today on to the not very pleasing subject. Thinking should you find the wrong man? These five indications should make your decisions somewhat clearer:
Even if he sends a number of texts on your dialogue, if he or she is texting you merely to setup a once-per-week meeting, they are undertaking that to either fulfill a sexual interest or he is depressed and using you until the guy finds one.
He is not lying, and you are not planning alter him. For reasons uknown, he is suggesting this simply because he’s got put you in the ”not a girlfriend” bucket. It doesn’t mean the following girl will not check out the right cardboard boxes and start to become offered a unique character. Get-out right away if you’d like a life spouse and don’t like to spend time.
If you state ”You’ll make me the happiest lady in the world if you’d approach a date for people ahead” and he will not provide, then he doesn’t worry about you, and then he certainly does not love you.
You’re not seeking a great deal, and you shouldn’t be doing all work. Any time you two will always at their place and the other way around and are generallyn’t out there having a good time, trying new things together, and being seen by other individuals, that’s a terrible sign.
Clearly, he can not introduce you to family because he does not expect that end up being around for a lengthy period to justify an introduction. You need to proceed and discover someone else.
If you invite him to a marriage or need to reserve a holiday, and he is extremely reluctant, ask him exactly why. Fundamentally, you can find off him that he is uncertain if the couple is going to be together once of the occasion.
Another solution to determine if a man enjoys you would be to take a quiz, and there are loads of them online. While I don’t imagine you ought to put your religion in these tests, they may be enjoyable frequently. CafeMom and Seventeen are simply a few sites offering a ”Does the guy enjoy You?” test.
Really people, there you have got it. Ten fully guaranteed indicators he does or doesn’t love you. If he loves you, have some fun collectively, program him that you like him, as well, and keep carefully the outlines of communication open. If the guy doesn’t love you, get rid of him ASAP because I vow you, you will find somebody who does love you. Make space for him!

If women and men come from different planets, Venus and Mars, than here it is! You just discovered the secret! It is very hard for them to understand each other as they don’t speak the same language and besides that it takes a man many years of experience to be able to deal with a woman needs that I myself , as a woman I can tell we have many. For most of them it takes longer to grow up! If it is to put in balance what women want vs what men want , the heaviest weight will be on the woman’s side. So, let’s have some compassion for them! We want men to understand us and deal with our hormones that makes us look crazy but we need to deal with their “silly boyish stuff ” too.
It has to be fair somehow! We kind of annoy each other but we need each other too and for this reason we have to make peace! There are men who act like some uneducated rednecks with big egos who have no idea how to deal with a woman or to treat her nice. That is not a smart man so you should not have children with their kind because you wouldn’t want to increase and encourage this kind of population. Some are really good actors and you might get fooled to fall for them! It happens all the time but it is never too late to let go. Another issue is that sometimes , men only think they are in love when it is actually only pure physical attraction! He has to be really mature to make the difference, so there will be moments when after few dates he will say he loves you! You should wait longer before you believe it because he might be confused! He is just excited mainly but he doesn’t know it!
It goes the same way for a certain kind of women(you know what I’m talking about) and if you are a smart man you should not have children either with this kind of “female” . As much as men would love “bad girls” very, very few of them will want to get serious with this kind but I can not say the same thing for women. They choose on purpose the bad guys , like it’s a challenge for them to see if they can transform them in the perfect man but in most of the cases they just get worse! So, who is the smart one now? The man, of course! The ego helps him choose a respected woman who will not embarrass him in front of friends and family !
The “Men are jerks ” thing! They might but not all of them and for those who are guess who encouraged them?
Woman, let me tell you something! In most of the cases it is our fault when the man doesn’t treat us nice! Why? Because we accept it! If you will turn your back to him as soon as he is being an asshole you will not have to deal with him and maybe that will be like a wake up call for him too, but if you allow it and forgive him all the time then he will think that that’s the right way! You don’t want do deal with assholes? Walk away! Simple as that! I was in this kind of situations, I didn’t walked away right away(it is harder when feelings are involved) but I finally did because I knew I don’t want to get married with that kind of man (there are many other options) and I don’t want to have children either with that type of person because I don’t want my future children to have bad examples in their life and more than that why I would complicate my life? I’d rather be alone for the rest of my life than to stay with a jerk!
But let me tell you how many of you think and what , in most of the cases, stop you from taking the right decision!
You are afraid that some other woman will take him and you are so competitive that you would rather suffer the worst than let some other “bitch” have him! Instead of blaming them , the men, let’s blame us for putting up with it when we have the power to make our lives easier and when we have the chance to find someone who offer us what we need. I know I did so I tell you from experience because even if I am young I first found the worse but in the end I found the best!
Be smart, be independent and think about how would you like your life to be!
Not all men are jerks and not all women are whores!

An extremely smart person I once spoke with said something that I always thought was very intriguing. Essentially she pointed out that the way the human brain works when a man and a woman meet is counterproductive: the more you like someone, the more nervous you are and the worse the impression you make. (My words, I guess she put it better.) I've thought about that a lot. I think that's why some people always end up with the wrong partner: people are attracted to confidence and the confident person who talks to you is not the one who cares the most about what you think about them.

Marriage Counselling and Couple CounsellingPartner relationships can create both some of the most sublime experiences of love as well as some of the most difficult and painful entanglements one can imagine. It is an area of much frustration and longing for so many people.
While much of the deeper material that prevents us from having a fulfilling relationship can be worked on and healed in individual or group psychotherapy, there is no doubt that couple counselling can be a very powerful tool in addressing immediate and otherwise not so obvious issues between couples.
The purpose of the couple counselling is to discover and work with the issues that are a product of the relationship. The other main factor is the establishment of proper communication which has almost invariably broken down.
You are then in a much better position to engage on a real and intimate level and to make decisions about yourself and the relationship. Sometimes the relationship does not work out. In this case, the joint therapy can help to ease the ending and ensure that each person learns from this relationship so that they may be less likely to repeat the patterns in any subsequent relationship.
I am an experienced couple counsellor, frequently receiving referrals for couple counselling from other therapists.
The sessions rarely need to be as frequent as individual work. The couple therapy may be taken with or without other forms of therapy. The fee is the same as for individual therapy. Couple Counselling and Marriage Counselling are available in Maida Vale, St. John's Wood (NW8) and Harrow.

Texts Are Not The New Phone Call
Text messaging is getting out of hand. Asking a girl out via text message is lame and extremely lazy. So is dumping a girl via text. Pick up the phone!
These days men have become increasingly comfortable using their cell phones, Blackberries, and PDAs as modes of communication. I get it, it’s how our society is now structured, it’s how we conduct business, it’s how we communicate with our friends. But here’s the distinction- you are not his friend. You are a girl he wants to date- potentially a girlfriend or a wife. You’re not his homeboy or business associate (I wouldn't even dream of texting my business associates, by the way).
We women are partially to blame for this as we establish the bar in which men will treat us. We’ve ALLOWED men to get away with this kind of behavior by indulging it and engaging in it ourselves. Remember, in the beginning of a relationship you establish what you will tolerate and how he can and cannot treat you. Six months from now would you want your boyfriend to go days without having an actual phone conversation with you and, then somehow still manage to make it into your bed at the end of the day two or three times a week? What about a year from now, can you imagine having a “textual” relationship with your husband? Everything that makes face to face and voice to voice communication interesting is removed when texting. Further, don’t you want to hear the man that you’re interested in’s deep, smooth, sexy voice as opposed to reading a text with a smiley face at the end? :-)
There are times when texting is acceptable. For example:
Acceptable: I’m stuck in traffic, running about 10 minutes late.
Unacceptable: Meet for dinner Friday night @ 7, Gulf Stream?
Keep in mind this somewhat algebraic equation: Not calling + Texting = He doesn’t really want to talk to you = He’s just not that into you.
Manly men call, they don’t text.
So what do you do if your date texts? It’s quite simple, don’t respond. Ignore it and wait until he calls. This is another way of vetting men and separating the marginally interested from the seriously interested. If he wants to see you and make plans with you, he WILL call.


Relationship coaching specializes in helping enrich personal relationships among people. Some problems in a relationship can be solved, while others do not have a solution. Lack of skill and information to effective communication can lead to resentment and unhappiness, which can tear a relationship apart. Relationship coaching can help you better understand your partner, marriage thrive or grieve a loved one.
Differences between Relationship Coaching and Couples’ Therapy
There is a difference between relationship coaching and couples’ therapy. Relationship coaches provide personal training to help parties in a relationship know the right thing to do on their own. Couples’ therapy is more about salvaging a relationship that is on the brink of a breakup due to mental illness. Couple therapists can also help clear emotional hurt from the past, which can affect your relationship. Relationship coaches can help you be at peace with your current situation in life without having to re-tell your stories from the past.
How Do I Choose a Relationship Coach?
You will be amazed to learn that geographical proximity plays an insignificant role when looking to find a life coach. Advancements in communication have made it possible for coaches to work virtually. Coaching can be done over the phone, online teleconferences and through email for enhanced flexibility between the parties. The use of technology in relationship coaching helps increase the pool of prospective coaches.
There is an increasing demand for relationship coaching due to a surge in divorce rates and declining marriages every year. It is easy to hire a coach from across the continent as it is to hire one who works from your neighborhood. It is essential to seek a relationship coach who you feel free talking to, can relate to and has training and experience in your particular area of concern.
Why seek a relationship coach?
You can seek the services of a relationship coach for several reasons: To help you achieve a successful life partnership. Help your relationship move farther and faster. To help you better understand yourself and what is expected in a relationship. Help you translate your knowledge about relationships into practice. A relationship coach helps you to make use of the information on your possession for the best relationship with your partner. A relationship coach helps you get what you truly deserve. They provide you with the necessary support and technology to help you avoid settling for less, which can, in the future, lead to broken relationships.
Relationship coaching activities
Developing an understanding of your partner’s goals, values and vision. Formulation of decision-making strategies. Attending to compatibility and emotional issues. Cultivating mutual understanding and being open to gender and personality differences. Getting a reality check, with each partner learns to become accountable for their needs and those of their partner.
At present, marriages are disintegrating at an alarming rate. Relationship coaching is an effective method to ensure relationships have a solid foundation. Relationship coaching is essential before and after marriage. Seek the services of a relationship coach today to help avoid the pain of a divorce.


Around this time last year, I was in a slightly different place in my world. I had been in Calgary for four months with plans of not staying longer than a year. Work two jobs, make bank during stampede, and then peace out and head to India, Cambodia, or Europe. I planned on being a professional work-away-er; working on farms and with small business in exchange for room and board. I would go wherever the winds blew me, meeting new faces, exploring old countries, and finding myself as I ran from it all.
It was all very romantic in my mind. However, a different kind of romance was headed my way. One I didn’t believe in and had no interest in hoping for. It happened at my friends birthday party, a bunch of strangers out for drinks, each person only knowing one or two others in this group of 9 or 10. No one stood out to me, there was no initial spark or eyes connecting across the crowded room. Instead, a tall, dark haired man with a gap-toothed boyish smile told me he liked my cowboy boots. I told him I liked his. And so began our story.
That night we talked about music. It was a topic he is passionate about and he talked about bands like he was close friends with each of the members. He had a personality and was passionate about something and that intrigued me.
At the end of the night, he asked for my number and said he’d call me for dinner the following week. In the next month we went for dinner (months later he confessed he hated the shirt I wore that night and thought I had a weird sense of fashion, But he asked for another date.) We went skating, where he pushed me into a snowbank. (third date.) And we went two-stepping with my friends where I was the hyper-est, excited Sarah I could be. (He kissed me goodnight in front of people after I was the most homeschooled sober person at the bar. It was that night that I decided he was either really cool or really desperate.)
We became friends without mentioning family, religion, or politics.
We remained friends after mentioning disabilities, divorces, and my interesting family tree. ( half siblings, full siblings, step siblings, step dad, ex-step cousin, un-official-step-mom, etc) and, after finding that the other person had weird habits or confusing pet peeves, we stuck around, because thats what friends do.
We listen to each other, because even though his job is forever going to make zero sense in my head, he needs to vent.
We talk with each other, because even though the first five minutes of my story seem like they are going nowhere, I know he will laugh at the punchline.
We dress up for each other because we love acknowledging that we are damn good-looking couple.
We dress down for each other because if one is in sweats and a hoodie, and the other is looking respectable, its just not fair.
He cooks for me because he’s a better chef.
I bake for him because I know cookies are his weakness, after chips.
I’m fun, he’s funny. When he’s tired, I’m awake, and when I’m serious, he’s giggly.
We are one of the most “opposites” couples I have ever seen but it works. We balance.
He’s cool and I’m awkward. He grew up with hockey and I grew up with books. Picture those two personalities dating and viola! You have us.
We’re friends. We’re an “us.” and we’ve been an “us” for a year now.
To celebrate, we went out for Indian food and beer.
relationship= summed up.
One day at a time, World.
I miss you. All my love,

Sexual Desire/Interest Disorder
What is sexual desire/interest disorder?
The favored definition defines sexual desire/interest disorder as characterized by absent or diminished feelings of sexual interest or desire, absent sexual thoughts of fantasies, and a lack of responsive desire. Motivations for attempting to become sexually aroused ar scare or absent. Lack of interest goes beyond a normal lessening with increasing age and relationship duration.
What factors are involved with sexual desire?
The basis of desire in women is poorly understood. It appears to involve interactions among multiple neurotransmitters, sex hormones and environmental factors.
Several factors have been closely linked to women’s sexual satisfaction and desire. These include stable past and current mental health, positive emotional well being and self image, rewarding past sexual experiences, positive feelings for the partner, and positive expectations for the relationship. The partner’s sexual dysfunction, increased perceived stress, a history of infertility especially after extensive investigation, and increased duration of relationship are all linked with reduced desire.
Certain diseases have a strong association with sexual dysfunction.
How is sexual desire/interest disorder diagnosed?
A detailed history and examination are required to identify the problem and any possible causes or factors. Some laboratory tests may be indicated to exclude medical problems.
How is sexual desire/interest disorder managed?
The management is guided by the history and examination findings.
A range of psychological interventions are often indicated. These focus on identifying and modifying factors that contribute to sexual dysfunction, such as maladaptive thoughts, unreasonable expectations, behaviors that reduce the partners interest or trust, insufficient erotic stimuli, and insufficient non genital physical stimulation. Strategies are suggested to improve the couple’s emotional closeness and communication and enhance erotic stimulation.
Sex therapy for couples is usually focused on similar issues, but also includes sensate focus techniques.
Psychotherapy may be indicated to explore past issues an childhood issues which may or may not be sexual, but have an effect on the current sexual function.
There is limited options with approved medications. Oestrogen may help vaginal symptoms in a post menopausal woman. A range of medications have been examined in small trials but none are currently approved for use in female sexual dysfunction.

She says she pleaded with him not to hurt her.Belcher shot her once. The bullet ripped through Clark's wrist and went into her chest. The bullet barely missed her heart.Clark fled the apartment and Belcher turned the gun on himself. Police assumed Belcher wouldn't survive his injury.But he did, and none...

This is heartbreaking..

I agree, this shouldn’t have so many notes. Who is this kid? Seems like a loser.
^he’s perfect and maybe it’s people like you that force him to feel this way. k thx.
This “Kid” is amazing. Don’t judge him, maybe that’s why he feels like this. Have you ever thought of that? You don’t even know him. How would you feel if some total stranger called you a loser?
you’re idiots ^hahahhaahhahha

A lot of parents were irritated. They were concerned that their child rearing skills were not being discussed. Since the primary purpose behind the classes was to teach parents who are separated to help them guide their children Some states have changed the names of the class to co-child rearing.
Do you see a difference between these two classes? In general, the answer will be “no”. Both will teach you how to establish a new relationship with your ex and grow in a co-parenting relationship. Many divorce classes include techniques for child rearing to make sure your already developing child rearing abilities.
In each course, you’ll figure out how each influences your children. Online Parenting Courses can aid in recognizing your child’s raising style and to learn about ways to rear your children, and methods to improve your own emotional wellbeing as well as your children’s. The majority of child rearing and co-child rearing classes will teach you how to adapt to anger and enhancing your interpersonal skills.
The most effective way to support children through the pain from divorce would be to teach parents to step back time away from their emotions and work together to ensure that their children are in the best of hands.

These classes are designed to focus on children. They teach parents who are separated on how to build a new relationship that is beneficial to their relationship to the benefit of the children. They’ll present strategies for managing anger, stress reduction strategies to increase self-esteem and stay clear of conflict. They will educate about the effects of divorce on children and reveal how kids react to separation.

As usual, you give me a new way to think about things.
Both the Thai and US Governments say Thai women just want to go to America. I met many Thai women in the US that said they married for love and didn't want to be there - America is too far from family and is always cold. My first wife didn't want to go. We argued many times, so I said 'go or divorce' and she went. She eventually adjusted to the temperature and the lifestyle. My current wife doesn't want to go. In fact she doesn't want a passport, but I want to take the family to visit Europe, Africa and India.
A little over 2 years ago, some friends and I visited a beer bar in Pattaya, every night for a week. We ate many meals with them. Nine women, between the ages of 22 and 38, worked there. They all lived upstairs. Two were cashiers and never went out, the rest were greeters. One was the wife of the owner and she often went out, but only for a lot of money - her husband was always crying about her going out. Three refused to go out on 'dates'. I saw a dozen men ask and they all said no, again and again.
I asked one of the who wouldn't date, how much it would cost to go out and she got very mad at me. She said she wouldn't go out and didn't sell sex. For a second, I thought she was going to hit me. I apologized and she got quiet, but wouldn't talk to me any more. The last three were the oldest and went out often. Sometimes they would tell stories about the men they went with. The only money I ever saw exchanged was the 'bar fee' of 200 Baht paid to the owner (half to the girl) to compensate for the girl not working that night.
Between what the bar paid and tips paid by customers, the girls who didn't go out made from 500 to 1000 Baht a night - very good pay.
On the third day we visited, the women were all refusing our tips, often bought the food and sometimes gave us 'free' drinks. We all knew that didn't make very much money, so always argued to let us pay. American women are cold hearted and want men to pay for everything. They never joke around with men as friends. If they agree to sex, they want something first (dinner, movie, jewelry). Thai women actually like men and treat them very well. Perception is the key. American men see Thai women as being nice, friendly, helpful and loving.
We make each other think and that's great.
Most Thai women get married to a foreigner for love but I think it's also for the money, so it's a combination of both. It's probably love during the early stage of their marriage but sooner rather than later, they will divorce their man and go back to Thailand because they miss their family, argue constantly with their man, miss the Thai way of life, or for other reasons. It happens time and again with Thai women.
Lao women are alittle different. When they get married to a foreigner and leave Laos, they rarely return back to live except for holidays. Even if they divorce, they often start a new life with somebody else in that foreign country. Relationships with a Lao women tend to be more stable and they give more second chances to their man than what Thai women will do.
A salary between 500 - 1000 baht a night is not bad for not going out, some girls make that much for going out to get laid. Thai women are friendly, loving, polite and always smiling but that is often fake because they are pretending to be nice. They have many problems in life and they are just hiding behind that smile.


Rufus had a loving and romantic mistress unknown to his wife. He saw her regularly and they shared a good time. At the approach of his birthday, his mistress invited him specially. He managed to sneak out on that day without arousing the suspicions of his wife.
His mistress gave him a wrapped present as a token of her love. Rufus immediately sensed trouble. Of course, he took the gift and imagining it to be a set of drinking glasses; he took it home promising to tell his wife that a male friend gave it to him. His wife was at home when he arrived with the present.
“Happy birthday” She greeted him for the umpteenth time.
“Someone gave you a present?”
“Oh yes let us open it” He said confidently.
To the dining table they went and carefully, he opened the gift. It surprisingly turned out to be an expensive wall clock.
“Who gave you this clock?” the alarmed wife demanded. He swallowed hard as he knew that no male friend would have given him such a present for a birthday. Such would have been appropriate for a wedding present. He was not used to lying but thinking what his best answer would be. He swallowed hard and quickly replied:
“My friend’s sister gave me” He said regretting ever bringing home the gift.
“Which of your friends?”
“The one residing at Diobu.”
“He has no name?”
“Who is Patrick? Is there any of your friends that I do not know?"
“I have told you who gave me the present.”
The wife knew something was wrong. She knew all his friends, even this Patrick. But he was not a close friend. Then how could his sister buy her husband a gift? An unlikely story she thought.
“What is your relationship with his sister?”
“I had sometimes accused women as grabbers. They take and take but never give. I believe she was trying to prove me wrong.”
“Is she your girlfriend?”
“Why does she have to prove anything to you?”
“I don’t know!”
The wife started crying. Her husband had gone too far. He is not even afraid to bring a girlfriend’s tell-tale to his matrimonial home. Feeling guilty, he tried to cover up by scolding his wife.
“Why are you making a big show out of nothing? Am I not entitled to a present on my birthday even from a ghost that cares?"
Then suddenly he was inspired. He remembered that portion in the scripture where Christ was accused of healing on a Sabbath day and in answer to his accusers he asked:
“Which is easier, to say get up and walk or your sins are forgiven?” Of course, the latter was easier as it was just a speech while the other was a tasking effort. He then asked his wife:
“Which is easier, to say the gift was given to me by a man for you to believe quickly or to say as I said, that it was given to me by a woman. Does that make me stupid for telling the truth?” the impact of the message was shocking. The wife got the message and after a while she replied:
"I like it that you told me the truth. I prefer the truth no matter the impropriety of the action; please don’t be angry.”
“Okay” he replied trying not to show his mischievous smile.
“So where do we hang the clock?” She asked.
“You decide” he said trying to be a loving husband.
“Should we hang it in our bedroom?” The innocent wife suggested.
“Okay, let me get a nail” he mockingly said.
“Promise me you will not see her again” the wife finally requested.
“I’ve not been seeing her. I will not go there…”
Although he never ended the sentence with ‘again’, she believed him.
And so the war ended through diplomacy; in quietude and tranquil peace.


Alex Simmons. 19. College Student. In love since November 7, 2011 New Orleans, Louisiana.
Honestly my idea of romance is just laying in bed with my girl’s head on my chest whilst we watch tv, listen to music, talk or just enjoy each other’s presence in silence.


Relationships specify the connection between tables and enable you to pull data together in meaningful ways. For example, order information is more useful when you know which customer placed each order.
However you don’t need to store both the customer and order information in the same table. Customer and order data can be stored in two related tables with a relationship specified between the two tables to view each order and its corresponding customer information.
In practical terms relationships allow you to query and combine data from multiple tables in your dashboard.
To manually create a relationship between tables in the ElastiCube Manager:
- Locate the field within each table to specify the relationship. For example, two tables may both have customer ID.
- Ensure both fields that you are using to create the relationship are of the same type, for example decimal fields.
To check or change the field type, click the relevant field and a menu will appear listing the field type. Click on the drop down menu to change the field type.
Make sure the data contained within the field is compatible with the field type. For example, text data needs to have a field type of text.
- On the right side of the field click and hold down the ‘merge icon’ and simultaneously drag the link to the corresponding table until the mouse cursor is over the related field.
The link will become green and a ‘Drop to merge’ message will appear when a relationship can be created. Let go the mouse button and a link between the two fields will appear.
To remove an existing relationship:
- Click on any part of the existing relationship. The line will become highlighted.
- An icon will appear, click Click to remove current selection.

Since the entry into force on 1 November 2018 of the Law establishing the Family Court and reforming the divorce and parental authority, the modalities of divorce have changed.
Two divorce procedures are now allowed under Luxembourg law:
- divorce by mutual consent: the spouses must draw up, with the help of one or more lawyers or a notary, a divorce agreement regulating the divorce and its related corollary relief matters and measures;
- divorce for irremediable breach of the marital relationship : the request may be made on the initiative of one or both spouses, it must set out the facts and grounds invoked, as well as requests relating to ancillary measures.
Divorce for fault (s) and divorce based on the legal separation disappear, with the exception of divorces introduced before 1 November 2018, which remain subject to the regime of the former law.
- Divorces :
- For fault(s) divorce,
- For bed separation,
- By mutual consent.
- Individual rights :
- Parental authority, custody, right of visit and accomodation,
- Alimony as a contribution to maintenance and education of joint children, spousal support,
- Youth protection (adult and minor children),
- Property consequences of divorce : liquidation of matrimonial property.

Telling your husband that he's going to be a Daddy is so exciting! I wanted my husband to have a unique memory of the moment I told him he was being upgraded to Dada.
My daughter (his step daughter) and I brought him to dinner at a Chinese restaurant. I had printed and stuffed the fortune cookie with a piece of paper saying 'You're going to be a Daddy! Lucky Numbers 7.5.2012' I asked our daughter to pass him the stuffed fortune cookie. He opened it and read it - looked at me and with a surprised smile said "Is this cookie real?!" It was a fun way to share the news. He carries the fortune around with him in his wallet next to a picture of our son.
How did you tell your husband you were expecting?


Madelyn has been such a great big sister. She loves to sing to him when he's crying and wants to hold him often. Whenever we go somewhere and it's time to get out of the car she always asks me if we are going to leave him in the car and a few times she has asked if we can leave him in the car. Ha! No Madelyn we can not leave baby brother in the car!

Most of us treat at least some of the people in our lives as places where people are merely kept — like action figures, still safe in our packaging, acting out a predetermined script with other dolls. Conceived of as theoretical space that defines and shapes various kinds of interaction, people become merely venues where services are performed or provided for us, or people bring us something we want in exchange for our own services, This is true in personal interactions as well as business. Relationships, in other words, become providers of pleasure, gain, or pain. We become immune to the dangerous, scary, and wonderfully unlimited possibilities people can be outside of those scripted interactions.
The Relationship Box
Think of a relationship that’s important to you but feels limited in some way. It could be a romantic relationship, a family member, a business partner…
The relationship is fairly well defined, isn’t it? That’s what we do with important relationships. We give them an identity, and they include boundaries. In fact, it has become a catch phrase of popular wisdom that a good relationship is well defined in terms of the purpose and the kind of relationship it is, and in regard to the boundaries.
We tend to envision a relationship, in other words, as a box.
A box has walls, and space within it for expression, and we can describe the relationship often in just a few words. This is my client, this is my boyfriend, this is my priest, this is my mentor, this is my father, this is my boss…
And when someone within the relationship pushes against its walls, our tendency is to run from that, or become concerned, or stick up for the box. We defend the walls, massing our emotional and intellectual troops along those walls like soldiers protecting something that, admittedly, is really important, but it’s contained in something that takes on the importance, often in place of the people we’ve sequestered inside. In short, our relationships are often in a fixed state of seige that we treat as normal, because giving things definitions and classifications sounds right. But of course, people are not things.
The Box Has a Cost
What this costs us is the possibility for the relationship to grow, and indeed for us to grow along with the relationships that are important to us. The walls of the relational box we’ve created to protect the relationship and define its significance and importance and stifles our individual expression in response to each other and in the context of our relatedness. All definitions, whether a box, a circle, or some other shape, create limits – often limits to the very things we say we want.
When we feel closed off, restricted, in our living space – our house or apartment – we either live with it and accept a lower quality of living, or we move out of it, remembering it as a space that we loved at first, but that ultimately couldn’t keep pace with our need to grow or fully express the life we want, or else we take the bold step of knocking out a wall. Knocking a wall out relieves the pressure. It allows the relationship to grow beyond the box. We begin to find unity between the space and what it contains. It’s a little scary at first – are we altering the value of the relationship? Is the ceiling going to collapse? Will we be able to get back to the way it was, if we don’t like it?
Boxes Breed Boxes
Here’s an open secret: not only do you have boxes in which your clients exist, for you, but they have a box for you as well.
Do you want to expand what you’re offering your clients and client prospects?
Do you want them to see you in an expanded role?
Do you want the company-client relationship to grow beyond its current definition and boundaries?
Then you have walls to knock down, for them and for you.
Your relationship box limits your business growth and shrinks your image for prospective clients
Boxes Can Be Broken Down
You can give more importance to any of your relationships, and become more important in relationship to your clients, if you open up the definition, take off at least one of the walls, or knock down one of the boundaries. Not only will you have more access to self expression by doing the work you love and having client relationships you love, your clients will also come to love the ill-defined relationship they have with you and your company. Most importantly, you’ll give your clients access to boundless relationships with their own clients, which leads to unbounded growth, and that will make you boundlessly valuable.
Embrace openness. Tear down a wall. Resist fixed definition. Let your relationships expand beyond the box.
- Define your ethos – it’s not ‘caring’ or ‘customer service’. Be a stand for something your clients stand for.
- Ask good questions and don’t judge the answers – post open ended questions in your social media and go 1-2 rounds in the discussion, then let go and let them run it.
- Find value you can add beyond the sale, and produce it in an authentic way – offer free training, create high-value client-centered posts, etc.

Miss Otillia came to visit me awhile ago. She was such a sweetie and love to show her smile, a smile that is infectious! Such a blessing to have new babies in your life.
I just couldn't get over her full head of hair!
Otillia, you are such a sweet angel!
Miss O and her mama! Both beauties!
So glad the rest of the family came for a visit too!!


In the gruesomeness of the events of Good Friday it can be difficult to hear the melodies of grace, mercy, friendship and trust, but this is a dance of love and the music reaches it glorious crescendo with the words, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit"—the moment Jesus breathes his last breath.
It is love that compelled Jesus forward, gave him the strength to continue, sustained and empowered him—his desire for you and me to be in relationship with the Triune God—a part of the eternal dance of love called the Trinity.
Good Friday is a bloodstained valentine declaring Jesus' and the Father's love for us, desire to be in relationship with us. Do not lose sight of the desires within God that fueled all this—love, a love that has been poured within the hearts of all who have placed their trust in the sacrifice of Jesus—a love that we can never ever be separated from. A love that compels us, sustains us, empowers us to live Jesus.
As you remember/celebrate Good Friday do not lose sight of the extraordinary lavishing love of God that is on display—a rescuing, healing, transforming love—a love that wins over separation, evil and death. For God so loved you, me and everyone else that Jesus was sent to bring back into relationship what was lost and sorely missed by God—us!


To have someone, that would be nice
But not just anyone will suffice
For they must be kind and treat me right
The kind that says,
“Love you, God bless you and goodnight”
A love that’s not embarrassed or ashamed
To stand by my side through, thick and thin
A love that will help me power through the pain.
A love that won’t be shy but not too bold let me explain.
Not too bold as to roll me over.
Or expect me to roll over like Rover.
A love that will laugh and cry with me
A love that will love me till I die you see.
Someone to team up with and do life with.
Someone to say Hey look what I did.
I may have had a bad day.
Someone to call just to say Hey.
I’m thinking of you, what are you doing today?
Someone who cares for me as I do them.
One that will love me to the end.
Not try to change me or push me around.
Being pushed around, just makes me frown.
A love, a companion, a friend for sure.
a little of this and a lot of that
Yep, I believe, this might be the cure.
The cure for my loneliness and boredom.
Someone to play Yahtzee with,
put a puzzle together,
walk hand-in-hand while walking Hunni,
Someone who might understand.
Someone to say, “Well look, it’s Sunny”
Someone to say something funny.
Just someone would be great.
But not just anyone will do.
He simply must have grace.
