“Possibly scar tissue, possibly nothing, possibly Lung Cancer”

Guest blogger, Peggy Cumming, is a wife, mother, grandmother of 6, sister, niece, cousin and friend, as well as a teacher - retired after 34 years in the classroom - and an athlete.

I enjoy a healthy, active life style and activities with my family and friends. In my fourteen years of retirement, I have climbed Kilimanjaro, hiked the Inca Trail and the West Coast Trail, cycled in many countries, and won medals at Provincial and National Masters’ swimming championships.

I have survived Breast Cancer, (age 41), a broken leg (age 49) and Melanoma (age 52).

On June 8, 2014, I celebrated my 70th birthday with a swim across Meech Lake in Gatineau Park, Quebec, with my daughter and friends. Five days later, June 13, I woke up with a sore throat and laryngitis. My third cancer story begins there.

The sore throat quickly turned to chest congestion, which would not clear up, even with a dose of prednisone. On June 22, at a big birthday celebration with 70 friends and family, I was unable to talk, and weak with the continued chest congestion and breathing difficulty. I was incredibly disappointed not to be able to fully participate in this wonderful event!

For many years I have received excellent health care from the Ottawa Hospital Family Medicine Clinic. I have had pneumonia twice before, and I've  had numerous chest congestions turn to bronchitis, so I was worried that this congestion had become serious. On June 23, I again went to see a doctor, but this time a different resident. She prescribed antibiotics and sent me for a chest x-ray. The next day, June 24, she phoned me to confirm that I had pneumonia and also to say that there were shadows on my x-ray that required ‘further investigation’. “Possibly scar tissue, possibly nothing, possibly Lung Cancer,” she said.

While I heard her words, in my mind I was dismissive, believing cancer to be impossible. After all, my breast cancer had been 29 years ago - too long for metastasized cancer, I thought - and I had never had even a puff of a cigarette in my life! Still, the possibility nagged at me, in the small part of my mind that was reserved for a possible recurrence of past cancer.

My GP called me into his office on July 7, to discuss the x-ray, schedule a CT scan, and diminish the possibility of the shadows actually being cancer. After all, he called me his “Poster Senior of Good Health"! While I really appreciated his positive attitude, it did nothing to reduce my anxiety.

I spent the next ten days, living my normal life externally, but living an internal nightmare. Every waking moment was filled with anxiety, stress and tension. Trying to fall asleep, while the tension in my body was pulsing and jumping, and the dark of night was welcoming my worst fears, was an exercise in futility.

On July 18, my Doctor reported that the CT scan revealed nodules that were ‘highly suspicious for primary lung malignancy’. He was visibly upset to give me this news. He talked about going forward with tests, and putting my name into the Cancer Awareness Centre. I could tell that he was trying to find a balance between managing his own stress, and trying to give me the confidence that I would receive the best care. He did an amazing job of a difficult job, and I am grateful for his sensitivity and support.

As I left his office to drive home, my worst fears swirled through my mind. Metastasized Breast Cancer? Spread beyond my lungs? Lung removal? Chemo? Cancel my anticipated fall trips overseas? Suddenly, on a soft, warm summer day, my future had become one big question mark.

Peggy has her own photoblog, , where she posts a photograph every day.

Moving To Wasaga Beach From England

That’s exactly what I did in 2007.

On November 15th with my wife and daughter who was just 5 at the time I arrived at Pearson Airport in Toronto .

We headed north and half way along Airport Road it started to snow and didn’t seem to stop till April 🙂

The only people I knew in Canada were sitting in the car with me but soon were settled and very happy. I got my Real Estate license in June 2008.

Why am I telling you this?

Basically it was a fantastic learning experience and unbelievably helpful in my real estate career.To learn from scratch all about the area and also the housing market. No pre conceived ideas or beliefs that I knew it all.

As you may remember the recession hit in 2008 and some may say not an ideal time to start a new business as a REALTOR®. I disagree; to survive and prosper, the skills and knowledge had to be worked on continuously to add value for both buyers and sellers, not just be an order taker and work with friends and family.

Home Buyers & Sellers like yourself now rightly have access to a wealth of information on the internet. A REALTOR® has to add value in a different way; to bring to the table local experience that can’t be searched for on Google.

Believe me when you move to a new country and only know your wife and daughter, you work as hard as you possibly can to learn everything about the area and chosen career as quickly as possible.

As they say “Walk The walk, Not Just Talk The Talk.”

Lure Meetings 2007
December 13, 2007
Created in 1952 by Maximilien Vox with Jean Garcia, Jean Giono, Lucien Jacques and Robert Ranc, Rencontres Internationales de Lure (Lure international Meetings) take place avery year in Lurs-in-Provence (France). These meetings are managed by a very young team, which excellently operates in their hardest tasks (and there are lots of them) and which shows communicative enthusiasm and dynamism. These team consists of graphic designers, typographers, editor, designer-writer, philosopher, student, drawer, images' collector. But whoever the specialists are, passion principally federates this exceptional event in its whole. This year's theme is "All or nothing - Encyclopaedia, universal typography", that is a pleasant holdall which can serve any possible view of mind. /// I particularly appreciated Michel Melot (former director of the Public information library of Paris' Pompidou Center amongst other things), for his fine and bright early and philosophical raisings. /// Yves Perrousseaux, a historian of the epistolary art, revealed to us some parts of his researches, which cover the 18th and 19th centuries. /// Claire Paulhan, a great editor, told us about her books' factory, her vision, choices and passion: an original. literary collection concerning its contents as well as its style. Splendid. /// Perrine Rouillon is also exceptional. This drawer unvailed her work and her character (the small thing). An enormous sensitivity, much personality and talent. /// The Meetings team set up a beautiful exhibition about Michel Olyff, graphic designer of international fame, showing a committed and timeless art. /// In somehow the same way, Massin made a conference altogether traditional. But what a man though. /// Thierry Puyfoulhoux (Presence Typo), atypical and talented typographer revealed about his research concerning a fonts family dedicated to the problematics of the "Petit Robert" encyclopaedia, a work on space's optimization, legibility and harmony. A remarkable work, particularly throuh its subtlety, aesthetics and the aesthetic and economical answers raised to the problematics. The project is progressing and is one of the high spots of the Meetings. /// Alain Rey (Le Robert), talked specifically to us about the words that he is supposed to review and to officially make live. /// David Poullard and Florence InouÈ, trying to stretch set French, were having a good time about some old and set phrases as "tiens donc", "dites voir" or "sous peu". The duet constituted a kind of Bescherelle (French conjugation reference book) of the expressions which give birth to a new language. Each phrase under an "Ordinary" typo reveals his potentiality. They created a great demonstration of the evolution of the set French language, raised from a very simple idea (similar to a long dinner between friends), and through their respective meetings, a book called "Le prÈcis de conjugaisons complËtes". A funny and refreshing work which will encourage children (and grown-ups) to play with the French language and not to be afraid of it. /// Thomas Huot-Marchant, typographer and graphic designer, introduced his "Minuscule", a typo designed specifically for very small bodies (2). This was another great moment, which echoed Thierry Puyfoulhoux. Starting from a quasi-scientific approach, he developed the "Minuscule" typo. Just as a spiritual son of Ladislas Mandel, he delighted the audience with his extremely rational approach leading to a surprising but nevertheless obvious result. A big man, already. /// Johannes Bergerhausen. This typography teacher studied the Unicode font and its most exotic signs. A gigantic decoding attempt. "Unicode or how to frighten typographers". A great system, still surprising. /// R2 Design. Liza Ramalho and Arthur Rebelo. The Portuguese duet introduced their most recent works: photography, signing, signs and editorial projects. Many works, fully explained and decoded. Talent, that's it. /// Antoine Denize. As a multimedia designer and musician, Antoine Denize created many interactive works like the "Machines ‡ Ècrire" (Typewriters) CD-ROM (Gallimard, 1999, many times prized), the "Ecoutez voir" and "SystËme mode d'emploi" facilities for the …coute and Roland Barthes exhibitions (Centre Pompidou, Paris, 2004 and 2002), several commissions for museums (CitÈ des Sciences et de l'Industrie, BNF, Le Compa, Le P SS, etc). This author shows an eccentricity close to Michel Gontry's one in his creative workshop "Lis tes ratures", in which draft, erasures and corrections become a piece of work. A special mention for his works where he inserts fun and wit behind lines of codes. /// Jan Middendorp. Jan is a Dutch editor, author and designer working in Berlin. Among others, he wrote "Lettered, Typefaces and Alphabets by Clotilde Olyff" in 2000, and more recently "Dutch type", a complete presentation of Dutch typography and typographers from 15th to 20th century. /// Always thrilling. Therefore I wish to thank the whole Meetings team, the audience as well as the great lecturers: Antoine Barnaud, Johannes Bergerhausen, Christian Bessigneul, Viviane Cabannes, Marc Combier, Antoine Denize, Mytil Ducomet, Martin Friedl, Thomas Huot-Merchant, Pierre Huyghebaert, Nathalie Latinus, Julien MasanËs, Massin, Michel Melot, Daniel Mermet, Jan Middendorp, Claire Paulhan, Yves Perrousseaux, David Poullard, Thierry Puyfoulhoux, Liza Ramalho and Artur Rebelo (R2 Design), Alain Rey and DaniËle Morvan, FranÁois Richaudeau, Perrine Rouillon, Jean-baptiste Soufron and Michel Olyff. The pleasant and original Daniel Mermet, who I don't need to introduce. Special thoughts for all the lecturers I may have forgotten and who all in their specific style shared their passion. Special thanks also to all participants, regular or new, who naturally and simply composed an enthusiastic and communicative audience.

No politics here

My life was hijacked by politics.  I will not benefit from the argument.  The government has behaved the same way for over 50 years I don't foresee one week changing that.  So I didn't post so I wouldn't write about how messed up our politics and education system are here.  We have amazing teachers and students in spite of a broken system.  At our school we have awesome administrators too.  They really do care about the students and staff.  I love where I work.

One of the things I did to help with my anxiety is to stop taking the paper.  Daily dump of woes and worries that I could do nothing about worsened my symptoms.  I miss the funnies but I sure don't miss the headlines.  Too often they go for the drama well before seeking out anything resembling the truth.  My brother calls TV news the death and destruction hour.  Every horrible thing they can find anywhere in the world to report on they do.  The cool, fun, interesting, nice stuff is nowhere to be found.  Not that it isn't happening, good stuff doesn't cut it in the news.

Our good of our students taking a state certification test got the highest score the test giver had ever seen.  Most of the students passed, they were competing with students from across the state.  Our students do amazing things.  They go to nationals for competitions.  Sadly, that isn't what is recognized.  The dedication of the teachers, the hard work done by students just doesn't make the news.

Just a few more weeks then summer.  I need the break.  Hopefully, I'll come back feeling refreshed and ready to put up with the junk so the good stuff can shine through.  Thanks awesome teachers everywhere.  You do make a difference.

Donald Trump replaces Reince Priebus

Trump names John Kelly chief of staff, replacing Reince Priebus

Donald Trump SACKS White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus in shock move that rocks Washington DC

Donald Trump has named John F Kelly as his new White House chief of staff after sacking Reince Priebus.

But he has privately floated potential replacements for Priebus, including Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, deputy national security adviser Dina Powell, chief economic adviser Gary Cohn and former campaign adviser David Urban, according to three people who've been in conversation with the president and senior staffers recently. "He is a Great American", he wrote.

Trump has repeatedly praised Kelly for his operation of homeland security, including tighter border controls and a travel ban from six Muslim countries that is now the subject of a lawsuit.

Flash Flood Warning Issued For Camden County
Friday: Dense fog will clear up around 10 a.m. and will make way for sun and a high near 80 degrees. Winds from the north/northeast could become gusty in the afternoon at 10-20+ miles per hour .

No formal announcement has been made about whether or not Priebus resigned or was sacked from the position, though Trump thanked him for "his service" in a tweet.

Priebus' exit indicates the full decline in the White House of the RNC-led Washington wing.

The president announces shakeup in a tweet. Former press secretary Sean Spicer, one of Priebus' allies in the White House, left after Scaramucci's hiring.

4 dead after small plane crashes on Utah highway
At the time of the 2002 crash, the two brothers were then partners in a now-defunct gyroplane-building business building. Police said there was a gap in the traffic on the highway when the plane crashed, so no one on the ground was hurt.

Scaramucci had initially tried to dismiss any reports of a soured relationship with Priebus, but that facade crumbled when The New Yorker published his profanity-filled screed against Priebus and other White House aides. Trump quickly added that Priebus has "done a great job".

Instead, Priebus opened the doors and arguably did more than anyone else in the party to embrace the coming force.

He told CNN on Thursday that "if Reince wants to explain he's not a leaker, do that". Now, he wanted to know whom I had been talking to about his dinner with the President. "Ever", Priebus said in October when the Access Hollywood video was revealed. Priebus is close with House Speaker Paul Ryan, a fellow Wisconsinite.

Dresses from the past

A new wave of fashion is promising women looks from the 1960s, writes Amira Al-Noshokaty

Al-Ahram Weekly

“Yes, this is it,” said the woman who was trying on one of the dresses to her husband. “It’s Soad Hosni style. Remember how I used to dress like this all the time back then,” she asked, at which he smiled.

At Lebet Al-Set (Women’s Game), a clothing boutique in Cairo, women can dress like classic movie divas — Soad Hosni in her famous polka dot dress, Faten Hamama in her elegant shirt-length dress, or even Mervat Amin in her mini-dress from the film Al-Hafid (The Grandson). And the best part of it is that the dresses come in real-life sizes that fit non-diva bodies.

In a country where sexual harassment can be a threat to any woman regardless of her age or style of dress, the term “to dress up” has been put to one side by many Egyptian women. Dresses with floral patterns and joyous colours have become just another expression of nostalgia as a result, next to architectural gems, empty streets, and the laughter of young girls in floral dresses window-shopping on sunny afternoons.

Lebet Al-Set hopes to give a fresh take on fashion, and it opened one year ago. The brainchild of owners Noura Younis and Fatma Abed, the idea of bringing fashion flair back to Egyptian streets has long haunted them.

“The idea was to design dresses inspired by the sixties and seventies or even the fifties, which was the time many women used to wear dresses like those we see today in old movies. We looked through the names of these films because we knew people would relate to them, and we liked Al-Set, woman in Egyptian Arabic, as the name of the store,” said Noura Younis.

They picked the era they did because for them it was a time when women were able to wear what they liked and walk the streets without being harassed. “Nowadays, wearing a dress in Egypt can be dangerous since women wearing dresses may be required to plan their routes carefully and think about the streets and neighbourhoods they might walk through when wearing a dress,” added Younis.

The dresses on display in the shop are inspired by sixties and seventies patterns that range from floral summer dresses to African designs. They come in real-life sizes that match Egyptian women’s sizes. There are straight dresses, shirt dresses, polka dot dresses and floral summer dresses. Lebet Al-Set also has mother and daughter dresses where the same designs can be found in adult and children’s sizes. The store also has some trousers and cardigans on display.

“Most of our designs are 90 per cent cotton or linen that suit the Egyptian climate and are quite practical,” explains designer and co-founder Fatma Abed.

The designs may reflect the golden age of the movies, but the length of the dresses reflects today’s street codes where dresses do not stop before the knee. “We want women to wear our dresses without then wearing layers to cover them up. We want to make dresses that can be worn in the streets and when commuting to work,” Younis added.

Every season the fashion industry focuses on certain styles that are derived from certain standard designs, with the result that over the years some designs have been forgotten, become vintage, or have never made it out of the middle decades of the last century, Abed explained.

Aside from fashion, Lebet Al-Set also has a keen sense of social responsibility, and the clever hands that transform the designs into finished products are those of women from the Fathet Kheir and Helm Establ Antar, NGOs that give women from underprivileged backgrounds vocational training that they can use to earn a living.

“We are now seeing women who have worn dresses for the first time in their lives, and this has been very rewarding,” the two founders remember.

Gmu 0.10.0 released!

2016-07-13 19:18
Attention! There is a newer version available!

Here is a new release of the Gmu Music Player. Version 0.10.0 comes with a couple of new features and bugfixes. Also, lots of code has been changed/rewritten for better quality, security and performance. Since Gmu turns 10 this year (I released the first version of Gmu for the GP2X back in 2006), 0.10.0 seems like a suitable version number for this anniversary release.

Noteworthy new features and bugfixes:
  • A configuration dialog in the SDL frontend for configuring lots of Gmu settings previously configurable through the config file only is now included
  • Gmu now stores its configuration and playlist information in XDG compliant locations (typically ~/.config/gmu and ~/.local/share/gmu)
  • An Ogg Opus decoder plugin for decoding Opus audio files
  • A new module decoder plugin using the OpenMPT decoder library
  • An experimental media library feature (disabled by default; only usable from gmuc currently)
  • Optional fade-out on skip feature (fades out the current track when user explicitly chooses another track)
  • A few fixes for supporting musl libc based systems
  • More robust networking code in gmuc (faster detection of lost connection) and Gmu
  • Command line mode for gmuc utility for controlling Gmu through command line commands e.g. "gmuc play /path/to/file.ogg" or "gmuc pause"
  • Improved build system with a configure script for auto detecting features (not autotools based)
This is mostly a source release right now, but I have built a version for the Z2 as well. It has been built using mozzwald's OpenWRT toolchain, so it runs on OpenWRT with musl libc.

NJPW G1 Climax 2018, Week 4: Every Match Ranked From Worst To Best

Brilliance from Ishii and Omega; buffoonery from Tonga and Fale.

Week four presented the G1 Climax 28 at its most testing, for the audience and the performers.

This is when the action typically starts to slow down. By Sunday, each participant had wrestled seven or eight singles matches in quick succession (plus undercard tags). Fatigue and injuries inevitably take a toll, particularly among veterans like Togi Makabe (45 years old) and Hiroshi Tanahashi (41), for whom self-preservation becomes a major priority. Coupled with the Firing Squad's contrived sports entertainment !*$%, this leaves long portions of certain shows feeling like a slog.

But the magic is still very much alive, and this week yielded an instant classic that stands not only as the G1's finest so far, but a clear Match Of The Year contender.

Regardless, expect things to pick up when the competition resumes on Wednesday. We still have Kota Ibushi vs. Kenny Omega, Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Kazuchika Okada, and a host of other potential bangers to look forward to. The G1's closing week is going to be tremendous, even though the Tongan blight shows no signs of clearing.

Let's run through the past four nights of action.

NOTE: Michael Hamflett returns to his regular role next week.

summer 2014 - week five

a very brief update.
let's see...this week...

monday - drove home from the mountains, just hung out close to home.
tuesday - met our preschool friends at the park and then ate lunch at mcdonald's.
wednesday - miss kayla came to play with the boys. they went to the library.
thursday - uncle zach came for a visit in the morning and then the boys and i spent all afternoon at the swimming pool.
friday (today) - jer is off work so we'll spend time together, try to get some housekeeping done and packing for our trip next week. we are also grilling with friends this evening!

things of note:

harrison lost a tooth yesterday and due to the fact that jeremy and i don't ever carry cash i had to stealthily sneak harrison's own piggy bank out of his room and borrow two dollars from him in order to be the tooth fairy. i know. brilliant, right?!

we are just finishing the boy's read aloud book, charlotte's web. goodness it's taken us forever to get through it. i think we are all just slowing down on our reading and filling our time with other endeavors. i finished the hypnotist's love story and have moved on to attachments.

i'm making these yummy treats to share with our friends tonight - vanilla chex bars!

i think that's all i got for this holiday weekend. happy fourth of july!

Oh, those iconic 80s dance films.... Quick!  Name the winners!  For me it's three Fs, a D and a W - Fame, Flashdance and Footloose - Dirty Dancing and White Nights.   Rissa had already seen Footloose, Dirty Dancing and White Nights - I got it into my head that she needed to see the other two.  Last weekend it was Flashdance

You know how some 80s movies really stand the test of time and some don't?  I mustn't have seen Flashdance since I rented it in the early 90s - cause man, oh man it's not what I remembered it to be.  Cue Jennifer Beals taking off her welder's helmet and shaking her 80s hair about her shoulders...

Two dance/soft porn moments from that film that will remain embedded on everyone's corneas: the splash of water on Jennifer Beals' boobs as she sits in her chair and the running in place to Maniac while moving her hands all over her upper thighs - or, as is more than likely - the dance double having water splashed all over her boobs and running in place while moving her hands all over her upper thighs.  And may I just ask?  Could they not have found a better freaking wig for the dance double?  Could they not have found a dance double who resembled Jennifer Beals even the tiniest bit??  But I digress...

The hair and fashion styles make me wince, mostly because I can remember wearing some of them myself, but I can't really get into the mocking of the terrible choreography and dialogue because Rissa is freaking out.

"Oh, EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!!  No!  No, no, no, no....  He's so old, he's so old!!!"  Rissa hides her head in the pillow, refuses to come out.  "She's 18!  And he's... he's... SOOOOOOO OLD!!!!  (Nouri was 38 when he made Flashdance.  Jennifer Beals was 20, playing 18.)

Rissa is so wierded out, she almost has palpitations.

Then, in the after their date scene, when Jennifer Beals comes back into the living room of her warehouse loft, lifts up her leather skirt to sit across from Michael Nouri and pulls off her bra from under her off-the-shoulder sweat shirt in way more movements than it's ever taken me to do the same manoeuvre.

"They've stopped now."

"What is she doing?  He's old enough to be her father!  I am disgusted in my soul. EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!!  Why couldn't he be all successful and 22?  Why couldn't that happen??  I hate him!!

Now me, on the other hand, I've always had a thing for Michael Nouri - ever since he played Dracula in Cliffhangers in 1979, when I was...  oh dear God,  I was 11.

"No, it's so wrong!  SOOOOOOO wrong!!!"

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" She screams upon witnessing the restaurant scene where Jennifer Beals eats lobster and then sticks her stockinged foot in Michael Nouri's lap. "EEEEEEEEEEWWW!!!   EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!!  EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW!!!  Make it stop!!!"

To Rissa, an age gap of more than 1 grade level is cause for a very deep seated gross out factor.  I have no problem encouraging this tendency until she's well into her post-secondary education.

The Story of Linda Tripp

1 year ago admin 0

On January 17, 1998, the Drudge Report released allegations about then-president Bill Clinton and former White House intern Monica Lewinsky to the public. By January 21, the mainstream press, including The Washington Post had picked up the story and spread the information throughout the American public.

During the summer of 1994, Linda Tripp was transferred from the White House to work at the Pentagon, in the public affairs office. In 1996, she met another former White House intern named Monica Lewinsky, who had also been offered a position at the Pentagon. The two became close friends over the span of a year and a half. In that time, Lewinsky disclosed information to Tripp about her secret affair with President Clinton. Soon after the information was revealed, Tripp began to record conversations with Lewinsky when she discussed details about her affair with Clinton. As Tripp gathered more information about the sordid affair, Lewinsky was asked to testify in the Jones v. Clinton case, where Clinton had been accused of sexual harassment prior to becoming president. The hope in involving Lewinsky in the case was that she would shed light on Clinton’s pattern of inappropriate sexual behavior. However, Lewinsky denied any claims of sexual involvement with Clinton. She also urged Tripp to deny any information about her affair with Clinton during the Jones v. Clinton trial.

In January of 1998, Tripp turned over the conversation recordings over to Kenneth Starr, who wished to use the tapes to prosecute President Clinton. She also informed Starr of the now-infamous “blue dress,” which had stains of Clinton’s semen on it, therefore providing DNA evidence of the affair. When Tripp had been close with Lewinsky, she had discouraged Lewinsky from getting the dress dry-cleaned, and instead urged her to hold on to the dress in case she ever needed it. This transfer of vital information granted Tripp immunity from prosecution.

Linda Tripp has acknowledged that she felt it was her patriotic duty to reveal the information that had been confided to her by Monica Lewinsky, and that she came forward out of self-defense, fearing for her own legal safety. Tripp’s testimonial led to Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton appearing before a grand jury. This led to the eventual impeachment of President Clinton on multiple counts of perjury and abuse of power.

On the final day of the Clinton Administration, January 19, 2001, Linda Tripp was terminated from her position at the Pentagon.
At the end of the grand jury questioning, Monica Lewinsky was asked if she had any last words, to which she simply responded, “I hate Linda Tripp.”

After 15 Years, Aaron’s Bicycle is Pedaling from West Seattle to White Center

Aaron’s Bicycle Repair, in business in West Seattle for the last 15 years, will be pedaling its way into White Center on Feb. 2, 2013, according to a post on its Facebook Page.

The new location will be at 9988 15th Ave SW (map below), across from Big Al Brewing in the White Center Square near the Hung Long Asian Market.

“Aaron’s Bicycle Repair, Inc. says thank you and good bye to the Morgan Junction and West Seattle proper,” reads an email. “However, they are only moving 3 miles away to White Center! This is very exciting news for White Center and we have been welcomed with open arms by the community.”

Aaron’s Manager Gregg Sundin said the economic downturn and increasing online sales forced the decision to downsize. The shop will re-focus on bicycle repair and service but will still sell bikes, parts and accessories. Also, a comment on their Facebook Page implies another reason:

Congrats! Is this in addition to the West Seattle store? Or are you moving the whole shebang?

We are moving it all. Reason? The rent is too damn high! Google that on Youtube for a serious laugh!

Here’s a video explanation of what that means:

  1. Robert Meme says:

    Awesome! Now we just need some bicycle infrastructure in White Center to make it safer to ride. 16th & 15th are NOT bike friendly. Hopefully this gets more locals out of their cars. A few more places to safely lock up bikes wouldn’t be amiss either.

    Great news for White Center!

  2. Michel says:

    Great news! Bring on the bike lanes!

Easter Weekend

The kids didn't have school Thursday or Friday so they started off the weekend with some pool time. It has just recently started getting warm enough outside, which is nice that it stayed cool for so long.

Here they are at war with the sprinkler...where do they learn this stuff?

After I worked Thursday and B worked Thursday night, we headed out to go camping for the long weekend. We took the pool with us. AC loves it more than anyone else. We have to drag her kicking and screaming from it...

B reading C a book :)

This was so adorable. The kids spontaneously laid down and were starring at the clouds. B turned to me and said that it made him realize how busy we have been. He told me he used to just stare at the clouds when he was in Montana and he can't remember the last time he looked at the clouds:)

Our camping trip got cut short when AM started running a fever. We stuck it out through the night although there wasn't much sleeping. We came home the next morning and AC started running a fever as well.

So, Easter morning was wonderful. The kids got their Easter baskets and we headed out for the egg hunt...

Since the girls were sick we could go to church(we had decided it would be too crowded anyways). We had a small service in our back yard on Glacier's Bench. We read from C's bible and sang a song.

Said a little prayer...
Played a little Wii...

And had a pretty good Easter!!

AM's Field Trip to Old McDonald's Farm

Pops was the lucky one that got to accompany AM on her field trip last week. Lucky for me, he took pictures as well. There is a big dirt pile the kids like to run up and down!!

And a rope swing that you jump of into hay!

Damian Lewis on Billions, Obama and The Goat

The actor talks about his “shocking” play… and does a pretty good Obama impression.

Damian Lewis excels at playing the most Alpha of males.

From Henry the Eighth in “Wolf Hall” to Brodie in “Homeland”, Lewis has often shown masculinity at its most bruising.

His return to the London stage, however, will leave quite a few of his fans with their jaws on the floor.

In Edward Albee’s absurdist play, “The Goat”, Lewis plays an architect who falls in love with a goat.

Andrew Marr spoke to him about the play.

Baby elephant was rejected by his herd. Then, he beats all odds with the most unlikely friend

Friendships can happen in the unlikeliest of times and places, and in the case of one baby elephant, an unusual friendship saved his life. Here's the story of Ellie and the amazing friend who gave Ellie a reason to keep living.
Ellie's elephant herd rejected him shortly after his birth. He was suffering from numerous serious medical issues, including a severe milk allergy and an umbilical cord hernia that was infected. The Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage in South Africa took Ellie in, hoping to heal him.
Even though the facility focuses on saving and protecting rhino from poachers, the compassionate members of the organization decided to try to save him. His umbilical cord injury alone was life-threatening, but Karen Trendler, the facility's rehabilitation and crisis response expert, noted that "Against all odds, this little elephant is still with us."
Although Ellie's physical needs were being met, there was still the psychological challenges of his situation to consider. Elephants are highly socialized animals who travel in herds, depending on their family for support and companionship.
Here at the rhino orphanage, Ellie had no one but his rescuers. Depression set in.
Then everything changed with the arrival of Duma, a German Shepherd and former service and sniffer dog. Trendler introduced the two animals at a sand pile, and a bond formed. "It immediately cheered the elephant up," says Trendler. "It had a massive impact on the elephant in that he suddenly started getting a little bit of interest in life again."
With Duma, baby Ellie has found a protector. German Shepherds are well-known for their work as police and service dogs, but they are also an affectionate, protective, and highly-intelligent working breed.
Duma and Ellie have become the best of friends. Trendler states that "They are playing more and more. We have a hard time keeping Duma away from the elephant. She has just become incredibly protective."
Eventually, Ellie will need to join an existing elephant herd or become part of a new one made up of other orphaned elephants. Until then, he has his best friend Duma always at his side to watch over him.
Watch the incredible story of the friendship between Ellie and Duma, and share their love with your family and friends on Facebook.

A victim of incredible cruelty, this turtle wouldn't give up.

When rising flood waters threatened this donkeys well-being, some compassionate people came to his rescue.

Microsoft's AltSpaceVR lets you build a virtual hangout

Microsoft's AltspaceVR differs drastically from other social networks by letting you share the same (virtual) space with your friends. Now, it's giving you more places to hang out with custom building kits. You start with a virtual hangout based on the popular "Campfire" and "Alien Planet" spaces, then customize it by grabbing assets from a curated library of flora, structures and shapes. You can then host muliplayer social games within your space and even add custom 3D design and sound.

"This is step one of a greater plan to make sure our community can help build AltspaceVR with us," said Microsoft's AltspaceVR group on its blog. "Today our community will have basic kits that they can use to build their environment."

[embedded content]

If you're unfamiliar with AltspaceVR, it's akin to Second Life, but for VR. The site was experiencing financial trouble last year, but Microsoft stepped in to purchase it in October. Microsoft recently added a new lobby called Origin where users can hang out.

With the new kits, you can choose a starting environment from templates like Base Worlds and SDK Playgrounds Worlds, then assign it a name and profile picture. To amp up the social appeal, it lets you take in-world photos and connect to friends' or community spaces simply by adding a teleporter.

Down the road, Microsoft will release more kits to expand world-building options. If you're interested, it's hosting in-world demonstrations starting today and finishing on August 15th (RSVP required). AltspaceVR works with most major VR headsets, including Google's Daydream, HTC Vive, Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift and Go, and of course, Windows Mixed Reality.

I need another piece of pie

Last week I remembered that my deep freezer would need defrosting before the move. Actually, a frost-free deep freezer should be defrosted once a year or so. So naturally, the last time I defrosted it was sometime in 2002. I’m talking there was stuff on the top shelf that was frozen TO the shelf and then covered over in a frosty freezer- snowbank.

Defrosting the freezer means the freezer needs to be emptied out. Which means I needed to get over the fact that yes, it’s wasted money to throw away the burritos I bought on sale in 2004, but it needs to be done. Likewise with the bag of frozen corn that fell behind the petrified pork chops, and the BLUE ice cream that my ex-husband bought and I shoved to the back of the freezer.

I did find a sweet potato pie in the freezer that appears to have been bought within the last year, so I went ahead and baked it. Because I didn’t want to throw away any more food than I had to, you understand.

At the rate I’m currently going, the entire pie will be gone in another day. But it’s NOT MY FAULT. My weekend has just been very PIE-WORTHY.

Yesterday, I ran around packing for most of the day. In the evening a couple of women from church came over to help me, and that was good for about two hours until I couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Well! Thanks! I think I’m in good shape now!”

I felt like I was perhaps being ungrateful, but picture it: The first woman showed up, and she is completely laid back and ready to do whatever I need. So we started in the kids’ playroom and I sorted through some stuff and she packed things as I handed them to her and that was all great. When the second woman arrived, everything changed, because she is one of these HURRY UP AND GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD kinds of people.

I would say “I think I need to sort through this stuff before we can pack it,” and she’d say “Well that’s okay, go ahead,” but then she’d KEEP PACKING STUFF even while I was trying to sort through it. And WORSE, she’d throw stuff away that “looked like trash.”

Believe you me, I like nothing better than being able to throw something away instead of packing it, but not everything is trash. And after the third time I fished something out of the trash that I wanted to keep, I decided it was time for them to stop helping me and go home.

Today I had a (different) friend come over to help and she was PERFECT, helping when I needed it and just sitting and working on her own stuff and chatting with me while I went through stuff that needed going through. We got another good chunk of packing out of the way, and if that had been all that happened today I would not have had to eat so much pie already.

The other thing that happened today was that I sold my dining room set. Huzzah! Guess how long it took these people to take it away. GO ON, GUESS!

Did you guess one hour?

Did you guess two hours?

Are you now gaping at the computer screen and saying, “Mir, it did NOT take two hours! Tell me it didn’t take two hours!”

Well, don’t worry. It didn’t take two hours.

The (very spacey) woman I’d been dealing with shows up with her husband, daughter and a moving truck. The three of them come inside and start examining and discussing the dining room set. (Keep in mind, they’ve already agreed to buy it.) In the meantime, my friend and I are packing boxes, and they’re all just standing there, having a conversation.

“This right here is solid wood, I think.”

“Yes, but see over here? That’s a veneer.”

“Hmmmm, you may be right. What about this? That feels like it’s solid.”

“Well, it’s a solid piece with a veneer backing.”

And then I stood up and screamed “OAK AND OAK VENEERS, TAKE IT AND LEAVE!” (Not really. I wish I had.)

After a lengthy discussion, the trio approaches me and asks for directions to the nearest bank. They were short on cash to pay me, you see.

Off to the bank they went. When they return, the husband comes in and offers me 20% less than the agreed-upon price, because the set isn’t solid wood.

I never said the set was solid wood.

I start looking around for a hidden camera.

I split the difference with him, kicking myself for being a sucker, but hoping this meant they would now take the furniture and leave.

He gives me a fistful of small, unmarked bills and then he and his wife start DISCUSSING how to move the furniture.

While all of this is going on, their daughter—who is just a little older than Chickadee—is weaving her way around the downstairs of my house, in and out of boxes, touching everything. She is taking things OUT of boxes and picking things up that aren’t packed yet and leaving them in other places.

Her parents don’t say a word about any of this. In fact, at one point, I hear her complaining of being bored and the mother says, “I saw some books in on the desk in there, go find something to read.” Because I live in a library, you know.

I start fantasizing about smothering her in ketchup and EATING HER.

(Somewhere in here I began to wonder if this child was… I don’t know… quite all there. Because really, there were only two possible explanations for her behavior: Either she is mentally much younger than she appears, or her crunchy-granola parents with their hemp shoes believe she will be stifled if they ever teach her any manners. I suspect it was a little of each.)

Eventually the couple gets the table to the door and discovers that it will. not. fit. They must take it apart! With hex wrenches! Do I have any hex wrenches? No, I do not. Hey! I know! Let’s have a whole discussion about hex wrenches right here at my wide-open door while every bug in the tri-state area comes inside. Okay!

They leave to go buy hex wrenches. My dining room chairs are left in a neat line along my driveway.

When they return, the wife asks if it’s okay for the daughter to climb my maple tree. I say that’s fine and am relieved she won’t be wandering the house anymore.

The tree climbing lasts about 4 minutes. Then the daughter commences going in and out and in and out of the house. While her parents discuss how to move the furniture.

My friend and I pack some more boxes. After about an hour the couple manages to move ONE HALF of the china cabinet out to the driveway. My friend manages to repackage my Cuisinart perfectly into the factory box, and I am filled with awe and admiration. For a moment, I forget how much I hate the people in my house who are strategizing every corner as if the fate of civilization hangs in the balance.

The daughter begins opening my pantry doors and poking around inside on the shelves.

My children are back from their weekend with their dad! Hooray! They are sticky and dirty and delighted, which is just how I like them. They want to know who these people are, and where is our furniture going?

I direct my ex to the carload of items I have thoughtfully set aside for him to take back to his house. He manages to load it all up in the time it takes this couple to readjust a strap on the dolly they’ve brought with them to assist in the glacial pace of moving my furniture. My children run around like crazed weasels and the couple’s daughter opens my basement door and peers down the stairs.

I briefly fantasize about bumping into her. Ooops!

At LONG LAST the couple has ALL of the designated furniture out of the house and lined up on the driveway. They are now discussing how to best situate it inside the moving truck.

My ex leaves and I direct the kids to start their showers.

The couple’s daughter comes back inside the house. I ask if she needs anything, and she says no, then wanders into the playroom and starts poking at my kids’ computer. I comment to my friend that I’ve never had a feral goat in the house, but I imagine it would be something like this. Just when my head is about to explode, the girl wanders out of the house again.

My friend is now about ready to leave, and as she packs up her stuff, the daughter comes inside AGAIN.

At this point, I cheerfully inform her that We! Are! Going! Outside!

The couple are inside the back of the truck, discussing the furniture. Of course.

“Hi!” I wave to them from my front steps, where I’ve just shoved their daughter out of the door in front of me. “My kids are getting ready for bed, now, so I’m going to lock the door.” The husband took no notice of me, but the wife looks at me with a funny expression. “Yes, well, your daughter here keeps coming in and out, and I need my kids to settle down, and…” I trail off.

At the base of my maple tree sits our birdhouse. Earlier, said birdhouse was IN the tree, as I know of very few birds looking for a house on the ground.

“Wow, I wonder what happened to the birdhouse,” I say.

“Oh!” says the wife. “I think GoatGirl may have kicked it while she was climbing. Sorry!”

“I DIDN’T KICK IT!” the girl screeches in indignation.

“Don’t worry about it,” I respond automatically. “Anyway, um, so we’re going to go get ready for bed. So, um, thanks, and enjoy your furniture.”

“Have a good move!” the wife calls after me, as I head back into the house.

For all I know, they’re STILL out in the driveway. I’m afraid to look.

    So, um, since they were in your house so long, did you happen to mention tht it was for sale? And that their daughter seemed extraordinarily at home in it?

    What is it about helpful people who only want to be helpful if it’s completely on their terms? We had this plumbing leak this weekend (well, it’s been going on for a few years now but we decided to FIX it this weekend. File that under Worst. Ideas. Ever.) About the time my husband starting cutting holes in the sheetrock and I was crying in the kitchen (literally, but over something different) and we were THISCLOSE to calling a freaking plumber, my husband’s friends all weighed in that this is an easy fix and you know, REAL MEN fix their plumbing themselves.

    Needless to say, we now have a leak inside the wall instead of just a drippy faucet and it’s going to take me months before I can drink another margarita. (We all have our responses to peer pressure.) Hang in there, Mir! –Barb

    That visit is totally worth the whole pie. I mean, how many calories did you burn off with the repressing the urge to kill people. I find that very calorie-intensive.

    Just imagine yourself in the pool, floating peacefully. And now imagine the Goat Family all *still* in *their* driveway, trying to figure out how to get the furniture out of the truck and inside *their* house. Why, they might all starve to death in the intervening years.

    Thank goodness you have a blog and can blow off steam about people like these . . . Karma will get them. Good.

    And I saw an item in “The Onion” about your new next-door neighbor (soon to be ex-neighbor, hopefully). It was something like: “Couple keeps home exactly as it was when they bought it, for sentiment’s sake. ‘Oh, no, we couldn’t take down the FOR SALE sign — it was there when we first saw the house! It will always remind me of that shining moment.”

    If you have any more furniture to sell, just leave it in the house. It will be a house-warming present to the future owners, and a lot less trouble for you.

    I’m thinking that since they are (of course) still in your driveway (watch out! there’s a glacier approaching!) you should pack them up with the rest of your (considerable) stuff and celebrate your new life (with Otto) by Drowning Them In Your New Swimming Pool.
    I believe this act would greatly enhance your enjoyment of said body of water. Also, I will throw in my husband as a freebie! I mean that literally. Once I put on his cement overshoes, of course. Kidding! I am just kidding.

    I think I would throw a fit if a child behaved that way in my house. I don’t know, I was trained to be respectful about other people’s property, and if I wasn’t, well, my mother was a scary, scary woman. In fact, she still is a scary, scary woman… parents today are nut jobs.

    What I want to know is how do these kind of people survive? I mean, really? How do they get through the day? Manage to assemble a whole outfit of clothing? Manage to have gas in the car on the very same day they want to use it? How do they perform complex tasks like grocery shopping? All that fitting in the cart of boxes and bottles and such.

    How in fact did they get past the end of their own driveway? And that kid wandering through the house. I do not react well to totally undisciplined, unsupervised kids. You are a saint.

    You would think natural selection would have weeded out the GoatPeople by now, wouldn’t you?

    Mir, you have my sympathies. Moving is never easy, but this sounds like a nightmare.

    A number of years ago we had a little boy in our neighborhood who felt free to walk into people’s homes. I asked him numerous times to please knock until one early morning I just turned around, gave him the scary mom look and told him to march himself right back out the door, knock, and ask if we could play. I am now an empowered woman, at least with little boys. He never did it again.

    Um, yeah. Oh so sorry about that horrific NIGHTMARE!! That three and a half hours must have been so darn long. Thank goodness that is over. What would have been perfect is if lowball family was there to help goat people with the moving of said furniture. And you are better than I and your good friend too, because I was either of you, and this might be because I live in California, who knows???, but I definitely would have said something to either the goat girl or goat girls’ parents about her activities within YOUR house. God bless you, Mir!!! May the rest of your packing week be far less uneventful. I can wish can’t I?

    Reading this was so stressful Bossy was almost forced to drive to her all night grocery store for her own Sweet Potato Pie.

    oh my. don’t you just hate other people’s chil’ren? LOL i don’t most of the time… but it’s really the parents who get on my last nerve. i always wonder about people who allow their chil’ren to act in such ways in other people’s homes.

    The existence of the Goat people would suggest that natural selection is a fallacy after all, since Dawn brought it up. I befriended a Goatboy once. He was feral, too, but he had a special gift for getting people to do his bidding without their knowledge. That made me feel quite stupid after the hypnotism wore off, especially after that little near-electrocution incident.

    Ha! People are nuts, are they not? Plus, that was so obnoxious. Clearly the whole thing was a ploy to then try to bargain you down. Yikes!

    I once had someone come to buy a daybed, and AFTER he loaded it on the truck, offered me less. Actually, a friend was meeting him for me, and called me with the news.

    So it was easy for me (since it wasn’t in person, and I was pissed, and no phyisical labor of MINE was involved…). I just said, hell no. Take it off the dang truck. After that, he paid the agreed-upon amount.

    I am in awe that you managed to avoid screaming obscenities at that entire family. Good lord.

    Aren’t you glad you are moving away from that place with all the crazy people?!

    […] With God as my witness, I am NEVER using Craigslist to sell a big-ticket item ever again. As if the people who bought the dining set weren’t bad enough, when I listed my car I got about half a dozen emails from people wanting to know my lowest price, or wanting me to contact them ON MONDAY (I had posted saying it must be sold by Monday) if I hadn’t sold it yet. Yes, sure, I have NOTHING BETTER TO DO than to keep track of your opportunistic inklings and let you know when I might let you have my car for $10. […]
