The Beatles said it, so it must be true: “all you need is love.” But did you know researchers including Gary Chapman and Dr. Ross Campbell have identified five different “languages” humans use to express their love?

As parents, many of us naturally turn to hugging our children and/or saying “I love you.” But as it turns out, these expressions aren’t always the most comfortable for our children to receive.

This is NOT to say our children don’t enjoy our hugs and verbal expressions of love. Of course they do! But what it does suggest is that there are other ways we could be expressing our deep love for our children that will connect more naturally with them – and because it helps them feel the depth of our love, and to feel truly “seen,” it can strengthen our attachment.

Here are the five main “love languages:”

1. Physical Touch – hugs, kisses, a soft pat on the head or rub of the back. Some children love to be physically touched, while others do not. (If your child doesn’t love your hugs, don’t feel rejected! They just have a different love language!)

2. Words of Affirmation – offering your child genuine compliments each day. Some children live for such expressions of your confidence and support… others don’t.

3. Quality Time – spending quality time with your child, where you focus your attention on and listen to them. For some of us, this is what love really feels like – no hugs or special words required.

4. Gifts – thinking of your child and offering your child small thoughtful gifts. All children love gifts; but if yours is sentimental about the gifts you give them, there is a good chance this is their language.

5. Acts of Service – helping your child with tasks just because you want to support them. People whose love language is acts of service are “show me, don’t tell me” people.

The idea here is *not* to categorize your child in one of these groups and then try to artificially express love in that one way. You can and should express your love in all the ways that are natural to you! But if you can pinpoint which of these is most natural to your little one, you’ll know how to express your love in ways they are most likely to truly understand.

Think you know your child’s love language? (Think you know your own? Your partner’s?) Gary Chapman’s Five Love Language Quizzes can help you confirm you’re right… or see what you may not have noticed before.

While we may have differing love languages, one thing all children need to know is that our love for them is unconditional. They don’t need to earn our love – they have to know we will always love them and be there for them, no matter what.

Children who grow up in loving environments, where they know they are important, and respected, and loved unconditionally, build confidence and strong relationships of their own as they grow. That’s the most loving gift you can give.

Do you recognize the parent who sounds like this?

To the kids: “Wash your hands!” “Eat your vegetables!” “You need your sleep!”

To yourself: “I have to get these gifts wrapped for next week – I have to prep tomorrow night’s supper – I have to find kiddo’s cleats for soccer tomorrow – I have to finish that report for work tomorrow…”

Many of us feel the pressure of getting everything done for everyone else, and can tend to put our own needs way down the priority list. (The irony isn’t lost on me that I’m writing this at 11 p.m.)

But we’re smart, and we know that’s not sustainable. It’s not what our parents wanted for us. And it’s not what we want to teach our kids.

Leading by example: showing love for yourself

Our kids learn from what we do at least as much as from what we say. So prioritizing your own well-being isn’t self-indulgent, it’s good parenting. It’s showing your children it’s important to take care of yourself so you can be at your best in everything else you do.

Here are three ways you can show your kids self-care is important:

  1. Set a specific “family time” for a certain time each day that makes sense for your family rhythm. Maybe the half-hour after supper we all go for a walk around the block. The dishes aren’t going anywhere, and you can explain to your children why it’s important to you to do this every day. (Pouring rain? Make it family yoga. It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s a half hour you can dedicate to just moving your bodies and enjoying one another.)
  2. Play the “high-low” game every day at supper or bedtime. At a regular time each day, each person says what their high point and their low point of the day was. This kind of sharing helps children build mindfulness and empathy – and helps keep you from feeling like your days and weeks are flying by unnoticed.
  3. Do things just for you, and explain that’s what you’re doing. It could be mommy’s tea-and-a-book break, or daddy’s walk-alone-with-his-iPod, or whatever would give you the best opportunity to re-charge. Arrange with your partner (or set aside time after kiddos are in bed, if you need to) to make this happen every day, and don’t apologize for it. You need mental and emotional fuel as much as physical fuel to be able to run at full speed; don’t let your tank run dry.

Of course, eat well, drink water, don’t smoke, get eight hours of sleep per night… as much as you can. It’s not all-or-nothing – every little bit helps. And it gives your little ones the opportunity to see healthy self-care as the “default” way to be.

U police say armed rape investigation is now a 'student crisis intervention'

The University of Minnesota is now investigating what was initially reported as a rape on campus as a "student crisis intervention case."

The Star Tribune reports that U of M Vice President Pam Wheelock said police do not believe the 18-year-old student was subjected to an armed assault. This is after the student initially reported on Monday afternoon that she had been sexual assaulted by two strangers at knifepoint in her dorm room at Sanford Hall on Sunday.

The university issued an appeal for information on Tuesday, but on Wednesday campus police said they were no longer investigating it as a "stranger assault."

In a statement given to BringMeTheNews on Friday, the U said it is now being considered a student crisis intervention case.

"The UMPD is no longer investigating the reported incident of an armed sexual assault by strangers," a spokeswoman said. "As stated earlier, there is no immediate or on-going threat to public safety related to this case."

"At this time, the University’s primary concern is to support the student who reported the incident and to protect her right to privacy," it added.

The U has said police and the Aurora Center – which helps the victims and survivors of sexual assault, stalking and domestic abuse – is providing the student with support.

Wheeler would not say whether police think if a crime occurred or not, telling the Star Tribune that the priority is getting the student in question the help they need.

OK – this one should be pretty simple but it trips people up ALL THE TIME…

Certain countries are ineligible to apply for the lottery. THe reason for that is that the DV lottery program is specifically there to facilitate diversity in the immigration process. If countries already have high numbers of emigration to the USA then they become ineligible for the DV lottery. The countries that are ineligible can change year to year and in DV2016 the list of ineligible countries is as follows:-

Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador,
El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea,
United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam.
Persons born in Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan are eligible.

This is actually unchanged from DV2015, although that year saw Nigeria added to the list.

OK – so what does this mean?

If you were born in one of the ineligible countries you most likely cannot participate in the DV lottery (there are some exceptions, which I will explain later).  Note I said “born in”. Let’s repeat that –  “BORN IN”. Even though the instructions are clear about this point people keep getting this wrong. It does not matter where you live, it doesn’t matter what passport you hold or citizenship. This is based on nativity – the place you were born.

OK – I said there are some exceptions. Yes there are. The main one is eligibility through marriage – this exception allowed me to enter the lottery… if you were born in an ineligible country, but are married to someone born in an eligible country then you and your spouse can both enter – you charging to her country. So – I was born in the UK (ineligible), but my wife is a native (was born in) Spain. I therefore entered and chose Spain as the country of my changeability. It is important to note that this marriage must be legal at the point of the eDV entry. You cannot enter today and find someone to marry from an eligible country. One second point about this is that if you do win and charge to your spouse’s country you both must meet the other requirement (education/work experience – explained here). This second point is very important. In this scenario, if your spouse wins (and she is native of the eligible country) then your education/work experience is not important (not even checked). If however you win then you will both have to prove that you meet the requirement for education/work experience.

There is also another exception known as the missionary exception. Let’s say you were born in an ineligible country because your parents were there temporarily, you may be able to chose to be charged to either one of their countries of birth. This is obviously more difficult to prove, but what is important is that you have to show your parents were not permanent residents your country of birth at the time and neither parent was born in the same country as you. This is normally because a multinational company or organization has sent your parents for a temporary period – typically (though not always) leaving after a period of time. If you think this exception might apply to you, I suggest you contact me and explain the situation so that I can give you an opinion on whether you can make a case or not.

Please read this important update about elective cross charging.

Teriyaki Pork

 Let’s clear something up before we start. I stir fry a lot. I know, I started this blog to help me keep out of my food rut, but there’s just something about a stir fry. In fact, there’s a lot about a stir fry. They’re quick, easy, light, healthy, packed with freshness and flavour and so so versatile. Provided you like a couple if types of vegetable, know how to cook a variety of meats/fish/tofu (I suppose, but why would you?!) you could probably whip up a different stir fry every day and still enjoy it. In fact, one of my colleagues eats chicken stir fry every night, though that’s a very different situation and the sauce comes out of a sachet.

There’s not a huge amount wrong with that either, I suppose. I used to be a huge fan of the stir fry sauce sachet (and in fact still have a few lounging about in my cupboard – should probably check the use by) but they are packed with all sorts of E numbers and preservatives, not to mention calories, and really there’s nothing in them that’s terribly good for you. So once you’ve mastered frying up some chicken and vegetables and boiling up (or microwaving, I suppose; those microwave rice sachets are pretty good, albeit terrible value for money) some rice or noodles (preferably without cutting or burning yourself), you should definitely try to make your own sauce. Though to call it a sauce is actually a bit grand. As long as you can cook meat to the point that it’s safe to eat but still juicy, you don’t really need a sauce, you just need flavour. A sort of hot dressing, if you will. Trust me, it will taste so much fresher and more vibrant than a sachet. Plus it means that nice you have the ingredients in the house, you can throw something like this together whenever you need it for a quick home-cooked meal without necessarily having to shop.

You will need:

1/2 onion

1/2 red pepper

1 medium carrot

A few florets of broccoli

1 piece pork tenderloin (about 1/3 of a fillet)

1 clove garlic

1 3cm piece ginger

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp honey

Dash groundnut oil

1. Slice the onion, and pepper, peel and chop the carrot into small pieces. Chop the broccoli into little tiny trees, bearing in mind that the only cooking they’ll get is in the wok i.e. with no water.

2. Grate the ginger and garlic into a bowl then add in the soy and honey. Stir it together and that’s your sauce made!

3. Thinly slice the pork, add to the marinade and set-aside to flavour and tenderise.

4. Hear the oil in a wok and chuck in the onions and carrots. Allow them to start to cook down a little then add in the broccoli and peppers. Turn the heat down to medium. If you’re having noodles, get those ready to go on. Boil them for a few minutes in salted water, as per the packaging; I used soba noodles here.

5. Use your spoon to hold back the pork while you pour the extra marinade into the vegetables, and stir.

6. Set a medium frying pan on at a very high heat and add a dash of groundnut oil. Once the pan is screaming hot (but please don’t test this with your fingers) add in half of the pork. Sear on both sides, then remove and replace with the remaining pork slices.

7. Add the pork to the wok with the remaining marinade that’s left in the bowl, add in your cooked noodles, and heat everything through,making sure your pork is just cooked.

Serve and enjoy!

This recipe can be repeated with chicken, turkey or beef, and is great with salmon if you bake it in the oven for 7 minutes instead of frying it.

If you’re having rice though, put that on while you’re chopping your veg, especially if it’s brown rice!

Prawn Curry in a Hurry

Ok, it isn’t a curry per se, but you get tonnes of Indian flavour and a light healthy supper in 20 minutes – no need to stand over a steaming pot for hours. Perfect for after a long day at work. If you’re not into shellfish, you could use chunks of salmon or chicken, just step up the cooking time a little for the chicken.

You will need:

1 red pepper

10 king prawns (I used frozen ones and defrosted them in a bowl of water while I was working out)

2 tbsp Greek yoghurt

2 tsp curry paste, whichever you prefer

Few drops lemon juice

1. Chop the pepper into chunks. Clean the prawns and dry them, making sure you remove the black vein on the inside and just inside the tail. Preheat the oven to 180C.

2. Mix the yoghurt, curry paste and lemon juice in a bowl.

3. Add the prawns to the mixture and mix in.

4. Take two wooden skewers and run them under the tap or soak in water. This will stop them drying out and burning. If you don’t have skewers, you can just bake everything in a dish.

5. Carefully thread the chunks of pepper and coated prawns onto the skewers, dividing them evenly between the two skewers and spreading them evenly across each skewer.

6. Bake in the oven for 7 minutes and serve with rice and vegetables.

Following Lou Ligouri’s funeral Monday (July 12), his friends and family will gather for a reception at the Endicott Performing Arts Center, and no location could be more fitting. Ligouri, who died of pancreatic cancer on July 1, was one of a small group of committed visionaries who took over a vacant and decaying former movie theater and, through hard work and perseverance, turned it into a jewel in Endicott’s downtown.

“Lou was a fantastic person, who knew how to deal with people,” said Bob Corwin, another of those “save the theater” visionaries. “He was a great theater person and a great businessman who liked helping make the community a better place.”

Ligouri attended Union-Endicott High School, Binghamton University and Rochester Institute of Technology. He worked as a manager at Prudential and later at Binghamton Savings Bank.

Through the years, theater and music remained Ligouri’s lifelong passions, said his sister-in-law, Diana Ligouri. He sang and played the guitar and banjo while acting in local productions, notably with the St. Anthony Players, a theater troupe that traced its history back to the 1960s at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church on the north side of Endicott.

The plan to resurrect the former Towne Theater came together in 1998 when Corwin and two other theater lovers, Patty and Steve Daglio, purchased the building, which had been vacant since 1993. They then asked Ligouri and Pat Foti, who was also associated with the St. Anthony Players, to spearhead the building’s renovation as artistic director and executive director, respectively.

“Pat and Lou took a chance” and were an equal team in creating EPAC, Corwin said. Without their work, the building was almost certainly headed for the wrecking ball, he added.

Renovation started in April 1998 with the final acquisition of the building. The task was a monumental one. The roof had hole in it, water had flooded the auditorium, rusted seats were piled everywhere, heat was non-existent and the floors were warped. Moreover, the onetime vaudeville house had been converted into a movie theater years before and was no longer equipped to host live performances.

Thousands of volunteer hours went into repair work, wrote Chris Kocher, former editor and reporter with the Press & Sun-Bulletin, in a 2018 article marking EPAC’s 20th anniversary.

One group, known as “the dirty dozen,” dug out the basement, built the stage, put in dressing rooms and took out the chairs to be refurbished, recalled Tom DeForest, who volunteered as “a sound guy” at the theater.

Ligouri, with his encouraging attitude, had a way of finding the volunteers, DeForest added. “I don’t know how he did it, but he’d find them,” he said, with a laugh.

Ligouri, in Kocher’s article, explained it this way: “We put out the call, and people by the dozens came down to help us. There were no paid employees here for five years. Everything that was done was completely by volunteers. Even beyond that, most people who were involved didn’t get compensated. They did it because they had children they wanted to get involved in theater, or they wanted to help Washington Avenue.”

The renovation became a focal point of her brother-in-law’s life, Diana Ligouri said. He spent his time working, cleaning, writing grants to help support the operation, planning productions and watching EPAC steadily expand.

The 300-seat theater is now home to a children’s workshop, a repertory company, a dance company, a rock project (which stages rock operas), the Lyric Performers (which presents original music and dance shows), and outside groups who rent the facility. An estimated 25,000 people attend each year for the various events.

“Lou was at times demanding. It was because he loved that theater so much. He wanted it right,” said Stephen Foulk, who did electrical work at the theater. “I wish we had more folks like him with his dedication and energy.”

As for himself, Ligouri called helping create EPAC the biggest honor of his life. The 2010 Broome County Arts Council Heart of the Arts Award recipient retired as EPAC executive director in 2013.

Following the announcement of Ligouri’s death, messages of condolence and appreciation flooded Facebook.

“Lou gave me some of the most influential words of wisdom I will ever hear, shared his music with me and so many others, and most importantly helped shape, grow and change the arts community in Endicott and the surrounding towns/cites in ways I think none of us can put into words,” wrote Matt Gaska, a local actor who has performed at EPAC numerous times.

“There are not enough words in the world to express my gratitude for having walked through the majority of my life with this man,” said Maria Gable.

Tanyelle Newman noted that members of the theater community had heavy hearts and added, “Lou, thank you for your amazing heart, for pouring into and encouraging thousands of lives, for your music and for your amazing talent on stage and for your hard work and dedication.”

Ligouri died knowing how he impacted the community.

Three weeks before his passing, dozens of friends, family and community members gathered on his front lawn to sing songs, play music and thank him for his work.  “He’s a real treasure,” Foulk said at the time.

The outpouring touched Ligouri deeply. As he told WBNG-TV: “They take the time to pay a tribute to somebody who is saying goodbye shortly. You can’t have more love than that, and love is what it is all about.”

Ligouri is survived his wife of 22 years, Tracy “TJ” (Johnson) Ligouri; his children, Heather (Dan) Esposito and Lou Jr. (Kelly) Ligouri; three grandchildren; his sister in law, Diana Ligouri, and his brother, Anthony (Mary) Ligouri. He was pre-deceased by his parents, Rose (Quaranta) and Ray Ligouri, and his brother, Armando Ligouri.

Lou Ligouri’s funeral will be at 11 a.m. Monday (July 12) at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church, 300 Odell Ave., Endicott, followed by a reception and celebration of his life from noon to 2 p.m. at EPAC, 102 Washington Ave., Endicott. He requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations could be made to EPAC ( or to Kali’s Klubhouse (, PO Box 60, Apalachin, NY, an equine-assisted learning program where TJ Ligouri volunteers.

The Paul Metz Mystery, Part III: George Metz Disappears

In my last post, I described how with my cousin Conrad’s help I had been able to track down Gertrude Cone Metz/Raymond Blumann/Smith Keller up to 1920 when she had been married to or at least living with George W. Keller as well as her son George Metz (named as George Elwood Keller on the 1920 census) and their daughter “Florence,” who Conrad and I decided was actually Ida Jane Keller, the daughter  of Gertrude and George W. Keller born in 1905.

I also noted that by 1925 it appeared that Gertrude and her third “husband” George W. Keller were separated as George W. was living with his parents and with his daughter Ida, who had married Eugene Merker in 1921 but from whom she must have been separated by 1925. Ida and Eugene’s daughter was also living with the Kellers in 1925.

But where were Gertrude and her son George Metz in the 1920s? Conrad found a series of newspaper articles revealing that his father George B. Metz had disappeared for some time in September 1923. The story ran in multiple newspapers throughout the United States as police all over the country were searching for the missing “G.B. Metz.” 1 The New York Times began its coverage on its front page on September 13, 1923, describing how George B. Metz had been hired by H. A. Ross of the Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Company two weeks earlier to be their Colorado representative. Ross had received that day a letter from Metz mailed from Denver in which he acknowledged receipt of an expense check, but Ross had also been notified by the Denver police that same morning that Metz had disappeared.2

New York Times, September 13, 1923, p. 1

This same article also reported comments made by Russell B. Cressman, a friend and former co-worker of George Metz at the Gleason-Tiebout Company in New York, manufacturers of electrical appliances, where Metz had worked for seven years, or since about 1916. Cressman described Metz as having “an equable, quiet disposition and was very well liked by his business associates.” According to Cressman, Metz was a bachelor and lived with his mother, Mrs. G.A. Kellar [sic] at 2020 Honeywell Avenue in the Bronx, the same place that Gertrude and her son George and daughter “Florence” had been living with George W. Keller on the 1920 census. Cressman could not provide an explanation for Metz’s disappearance nor could his mother, when asked. According to the article, George’s mother had left for Denver when she heard of his disappearance.3

The paper also reported that George had a girlfriend in New York named Margaret A. Wiquest and that another friend, Eugene O’Donnell, estimated that George had a fortune worth about $50,000-$60,000 as well as a $75,000 life insurance policy.4

According to this and several other articles, the maid found a note in George’s hotel room in Denver, where he had been staying for two weeks. According to the Ogden (Utah) Standard Examiner of September 12, 1923 (p. 2) and many other newspapers, that note read as follows:

I am going on a dangerous mission tonight. If anything should happen that I do not return please forward the personal papers you will find in the small drawer to R.B. Cressman, 200 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

(Signed) G. B. Metz

Personal effects to Mrs. G.A. Keller, 2020 Honeywell avenue, New York City. Catalogue to Pittsburg Lamp, Brass and Glass company. Car to Saunders. [The car was a rental car.]

Detectives then proceeded to examine a will that George Metz had prepared on September 4, 1923, obviously either right before or right after departing New York for Denver. According to another New York Times article dated September 13, 1923,5 the will named Russell B. Cressman as the administrator and left one-third of the estate to Margaret A. Wiquest, his “dearest pal and sweetheart,” unless she was married at the time of George’s death; in that case she was to receive only $500. All of George’s personal belongings were bequeathed to his uncle Frank E. Cone, his jewelry was left to his “stepfather G.W. Kellar,” $1000 was left to his sister, Ida J. Merker, and another $1000 to a trust fund for the education of Ida’s daughter.

The police had two possible theories for George’s disappearance—foul play or suicide. By the next day the New York Times was reporting that the Denver police had developed a third theory—that George was suffering from a temporary mental illness. The Denver police also found a clue that George was on his way to Los Angeles.6

“Metz in California, Denver Police Think,” New York Times, September 14, 1923, p. 22.

The article is most interesting for what it reports “that bears out the theory of mental aberration.”7

One clue was a letter which Metz wrote to his mother in which he said: “I am losing my mind. Have faith in me.”

The police also learned, they said, that Metz’s father, Joseph Metz, disappeared in a similar fashion nearly 25 years ago, just before the son was born, and took his elder son Elwood with him. Nothing ever was heard of them, the police say.[^8]

That was a confirmation of much of what I had suspected: Paul Metz/Joseph Raymond (called Joseph Metz here) was the father of George Metz, and he had disappeared shortly before George was born, taking Elwood with him.

The newspaper also noted that Ida Keller Merker had confirmed these facts, although her report muddies the waters a bit:8

Mrs. Merker confirmed the statement that their father, Joseph Metz, had disappeared with an elder son, Elwood, twenty-five years ago. This had been while the family was living somewhere on the Boston Road in the Bronx, and the pair had never been heard from.

Of course, this can’t be completely right; Paul/Joseph Metz was not Ida’s father. Ida J. Keller was born five years after her half-brother George, and Paul/Joseph Metz could not have been her father if he disappeared five years before she was born. And on the 1900 census, Gertrude was living with Elwood not on Boston Road in the Bronx, but in Ho-ho-kus, New Jersey, and Paul was not in the household. But the important point from my perspective is that this confirmed that Paul Metz had disappeared and taken his son Elwood with him in 1900.

According to the article, George’s girlfriend Margaret A. Wiquest was “taken by surprise at the report of Metz’s mental condition. In their one-year acquaintance, she said, Metz had never shown sign of aberration. He had always been of a cheerful disposition and his last letters had all been in a cheerful key, she added.”9

Fortunately, this story has a happy ending. George was found a month later in Los Angeles, suffering from memory loss:

“Missing Pittsburgh Salesman Is Found,” New Castle (Pennsylvania) Herald, 12 Oct 1923, Fri, Page 20.

George apparently returned to New York, but perhaps not to Margaret A. Wiquest. On September 11, 1925, George Metz married Eunice Marian Brown in the Bronx.10 Conrad generously shared these stunning photographs of his parents:

George B. Metz, courtesy of Conrad Metz

In 1928, they were living in my old hometown, White Plains, New York, where George was working as a “brkman,” or a brakeman.11 According to Conrad, his maternal grandfather, John Brown, was a conductor on the Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad and helped his son-in-law George get a job with the railroad when George had had difficulty obtaining employment after his disappearance in 1923.  Being a brakeman was a dangerous job, as described on this website:

To apply the brakes, the brakeman would turn a large brake control wheel located atop each freight car of the train. Every brakeman carried a thick brake “club” to help give them leverage in turning the wheel. This meant that they would have to run along the top of the railway cars and leap from one to another in order to apply or release the brakes on each car. Generally, the rear brakeman, or flagman as he was also known, would advance from the end of the train whilst the head brakeman or the conductor would advance from the engine to apply the brakes on each car, one by one. On a moving train, especially in bad weather, the application of brakes was a risky proposition, at best. Worse still, a stuck brake wheel might suddenly free up and throw the brakeman off balance. All too often this would result in the brakeman falling between the cars to his death. Riding in the open, frequently exposed to the bitter cold of winter, the brakeman’s job was fraught with danger.

Conrad told me that his father George himself suffered a broken leg on the job.

In 1930 George, Marian and their son Richard were living in Westwood, New Jersey, and George was once again in the electrical products business, now as a sales manager for the an electrical company. Conrad was born a couple of years later.

But what about Paul Metz and Elwood Metz? Where had they gone? Who were they now? And would they ever reappear? More on that in my next post, the final chapter in the story of Paul Metz and his sons.

  1. What a story! One does not have to read mystery novels. We find them in real life just as you reported the strange disappearance of George Metz. I am on pins and needles to find out what revelations you will have for us on the fate of Paul Metz, Amy.

  4. So true, it would be hard to make up a more interesting story than this one. Pretty sad, but at least you know the details. I read your section about applying the brakes with interest. My father’s great uncle lost his arm in a railroad accident. He slipped from his position after it had rained and somehow his arm was crushed. It was pretty dangerous. Looking forward to the next installment.

The “Right” Way to Be Depressed

CNN did a great thing today. They published a first-person account by one of their editors, Stephanie Gallman, about her experience of being diagnosed with depression, and of telling her friends and family about it.

Initially when I saw this article, I was overjoyed. It’s good to see mainstream media outlets publishing articles about depression that are personal rather than scientific in nature, and I’m relieved that more people are willing to publicly state the fact that they have depression.

But then I actually started reading it:

In August, after several months of seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist, I was diagnosed with depression.

The news came as a shock.

“I’m not depressed,” I said defiantly, shaking my head when the doctor deducted that must be what was ailing me.

“I hate depressed people.”

She laughed at my strange reaction, but I was serious. I don’t want to be in that category of people. Everything they take in and spew out just breathes negativity, and they are difficult to be around. I despise these people.

Gee, thanks, Stephanie. We despise you too.

She goes on to describe how, at her doctor’s urging, she finally realized that the symptoms of depression really did describe her experience. When her doctor suggests antidepressants, she’s not too excited about the idea but seems to at least consider it.

Then she discusses dropping the “D-bomb” to friends and family. Her favorite response from them, apparently, is surprise:

A lot of the people reacted to the D-bomb the same way I did — “You’re depressed?! You?  Stephanie Gallman? But you’re one of the happiest people that I know! You Hula-Hoop in Walmart!” (I really do Hula-Hoop in Walmart — every time I go.)

These are the people I wanted to reach out and hug; they made me feel like I hadn’t turned into Debbie Downer.

It’s true, to the outside world, I do appear happy. And I realize this is hard to grasp, even for me, but I am happy most of the time. I am fully aware of how blessed my life is and express gratitude for it daily. I have worked hard not to let what’s going on with me on the inside affect the way I present myself on the outside.

It’s hard not to notice how much this smacks of a certain self-congratulatory relief, of “doing” depression the right way. This woman is clearly such a considerate person, for not letting her depression affect how she presents herself!

Gallman’s gratitude for her blessed life strikes a chord with me, as it will with many other people with depression, because of how damn often we’re told to “count our blessings” and “be grateful for what we have.” There’s nothing worse, apparently, then being ungrateful.

That said, there are definitely some great things about the article. Gallman talks about her anger at being told to “do more of the things that you enjoy” rather than taking antidepressants. “Bite me,” she writes. “These patronizing (“The Secret”? Are you serious?) prescriptions infuriated me, as if the reason I wasn’t happy is because I hadn’t tried hard enough.”

She also makes a great point about the need for more openness surrounding mental illness. One of the responses she often received when she dropped the “D-bomb” was stories about friends and family members who had also suffered from depression:

I was dumbfounded. I wanted to scream like Adam Sandler in “The Wedding Singer”: “Gee, you know that information … really would’ve been more useful to me yesterday!” Why isn’t anyone talking about these illnesses that affect our most important body part — our brain?

Indeed, why aren’t more people taking about these common, devastating illnesses?

Unfortunately for Gallman, one answer is that it’s because of people like her.

Specifically, it’s because of the people who call us “Debbie Downers,” who tell us that we’re “spewing negativity,” who blame us for our own illness just like Gallman (tragically) blamed herself.

The problem with Gallman’s narrative is that we’re not all as “blessed” as she is. Her theory that she may be to blame for her own depression because she withdrew from friends may be applicable to her own life (though I doubt it), but it’s not very applicable to those depression sufferers who may not have a strong support network like she does. She writes, “No surprise, the wonderful people in my life have all been very kind and sympathetic, offering words of comfort and support.” Well…good for her. Not everybody has that.

Furthermore, not everybody is an accomplished adult who has a dream job as an editor at CNN. Gallman’s habits of eating well and exercising healthfully, which she is proud enough of to mention in this article, are not available as options to everybody. It’s clear that she has a full enough life that she’s able to throw herself into other things and avoid that terrible label of “unhappy.” Her optimistic personality, another trait of which she is very proud, is something that psychologists generally agree is inborn and possibly genetic–not something that all of us are so lucky to have.

After reading this article, I was struck by the pervasiveness of the message hidden between its lines–that there is a “right” way to be depressed. Gallman plays this role well. She does not embrace her diagnosis, nor her doctor’s suggested treatment; after all, doing so would imply that she “wants” to be a victim. She steadfastedly counts her blessings every day and reaches out to her supportive friends and family. She eats well and exercises. She is absolutely not to blame for her depression because she does everything “right.”

And most of all, she sees her depressive side as something shameful and ugly, just a foil to her sunny personality.

What about those of us who don’t have a sunny personality?

I feel for Gallman, not just because of her struggle with depression, but because of how indelibly she has internalized the idea of depression and unhappiness in general as something Wrong and Bad. There’s no room in this article for the scandalous idea that depression, while being difficult and unpleasant, is something that a person can make peace with–the way they might make peace with having asthma or diabetes.

There’s also no room in this article for sympathy for those who don’t play the role of Optimistic Depression Sufferer as well as Gallman does. No sympathy for those who don’t identify themselves as happy people at all.

I’m glad that Gallman has shared her story, and I wish more people would do the same–with their real name attached. But I hope that readers who don’t have experience with depression do not assume that Gallman speaks for all of us.

Edit 4/2/12: If you want to see a brilliant, prominent person discuss her experiences with depression without being judgmental and promoting stigma like Gallman does, read this.

15 thoughts on “The “Right” Way to Be Depressed

  1. Oh, she hula hoops in Wal-Mart? How could she possibly be depressed? She’s so quirky!

    On a serious note, though, I like the point you make about her doing depression “right.” I find it slightly reminiscent of the notion of a “perfect” sexual assault victim, who is attacked in the evening, wearing baggy pants and a sweatshirt, by a stranger. (not to suggest an an equivalency between being raped and having depression).

    • I was actually thinking about that the entire time I was writing this. I opted not to mention it in the post itself because I didn’t want to get too far off-topic, but there are definitely some parallels to be drawn there.

      While being raped and having depression otherwise have very little in common, there’s a striking similarity in the way others respond to them. I think that people really want to believe that people who get raped or who have depression must’ve done something to deserve it because it’s very unsettling and distressing to believe that sometimes SHIT JUST HAPPENS. Hence, victim-blaming–both for rape survivors and for depression sufferers.

  2. Hmm. Having had depression myself, I’m confused that her article starts in the doctor’s office with her diagnosis. I was diagnosed by my GP too, but I was there because I suspected something was wrong with me. If the news really came was a ‘shock’, why on earth was she there? It does sound as if she is trying to play up the ‘blameless’ depression sufferer, doing things the ‘right’ way. But gah, having depression sucks so I certainly can’t blame her for hoping she didn’t have it.

    • Good point. Clearly she had the symptoms, and they were bad enough that she wanted to see a therapist.

      I’m aware that many people want to avoid the “depression” label, but honestly, I never understood why. I wrote in an earlier post about psychiatric labels that before I was diagnosed with depression, people used other labels for me, such as crazy, overdramatic, bitchy, whiny, etc.

      When I was diagnosed with depression, I was RELIEVED…I finally had a non-derogatory way to refer to myself.

      • For me, I realised something was wrong, but I didn’t think things were that bad. I thought I had mild depression, and it turned out to be severe. Whoops! For me, I didn’t want to admit that I was ‘mental’, I think, but like you found, in the end I was quite relieved to understand why I felt like I did. And that it could be treated!

  3. “Anyone who would judge me for this weakness that I’ve identified and am treating probably isn’t someone I would want to work for or date anyway.”

    Weakness? Depression isn’t a weakness. At least, I don’t think so. Believing that depression is a “weakness” is part of the reason why it can be so hard to accept. I can’t exactly explain why, but I feel like she used the wrong words throughout this article. Words like “happiness”, “Debbie Downer” and “weakness”–I don’t think a lack of happiness or a lack of personal strength define depression. And “Debbie Downer” is definitely an oversimplification. But you were right when you mentioned that it’s good that she’s getting the word out. It would just be better if the word wasn’t full of the typical judgments made about people with depression.

    • You’re exactly right; I had that same feeling as I was reading this. I kept hoping that she would come to the realization that she’d been looking at it the wrong way–that she’d been contributing to the stigma placed on mental illness–but she never really does.

  4. I loved the Rachel Maddow interview. My husband, who has to deal with depression, listened it first, and said it was comforting and reassuring to hear her. I thank Rachel for that.

    • I’m glad you liked it. Rachel Maddow is incredibly wise and I take a lot of comfort from the fact that she’s managed to live a full and successful life despite not being magically “cured” of depression like I used to expect to be.

  5. After reading Ms. Gallman’s article online, as a person with bipolar II disorder and intensley severe lows, my first reaction was anger. However, in the interest of being objective she makes several good points as well. (Still, I think if I met her I would have to bite my tongue to not meet every word from her mouth with a scathingly sarcastic reply!) There were so many conflicting comments on the thread that I went in search of a coherent and lengthy critique on the article, which is how I found this. I’m not one to openly attack someone on a first impression, knowing that if I step back and try to look beyond my first emotional reaction I’ll gain a more clearheaded understanding of the actual information presented. Basically, I just wanted to say I couldn’t have dissected the article better myself. You hit every nail on the head! Thank you!

    • I was definitely pretty angry when I first read this, too. I still am. Except the more I thought about it, the less my anger was directed at Gallman, and the more it became directed at society at large, especially to the extent that our culture is the reason she has these views of mental illness.

      Thanks for reading!

  6. I’m puzzled by the ire you direct at Ms. Gallman for describing depression as it afflicts her. Surely you do not expect her to represent how it is for anyone else. Your flippant (not funny) comment, “Gee, thanks, Stephanie. We despise you too,” suggests that you’ve taken her words personally, as if this is (or should have been) all about you (or anyone else but her).

    And describing how not everyone else has such a great support group suggests you really do think she is unworthy to make any complaints, let alone share any shock for her diagnosis. Since I, like Ms. Gallman, do not understand how to reconcile depression with my many blessings, I find your misguided criticisms of situations like mine petty and self-serving. Good luck on your psych degree…

    • I agree, steffin. I read this blog quite often and generally find it very logical in its reasoning, but this post seems quite different. Who cares if she shares post her own experience this way? It’s her own. She is writing a first hand account for a reason – to talk about how SHE dealth with depression, how SHE reacted to depression, how it affects HER life. But by posting this way, with the anger and discontent that you express with her account, you are discouraging others with depression to share their accounts. What if their accounts are different from yours – will you write another squarely criticizing them as you have here?

      • I appreciate your comment. It’s not about the fact that her account differs from mine, it’s the fact that she writes so extensively about her negative attitudes towards those who suffer from mental illness without ever clarifying whether or not those attitudes have changed, and without expressing any regret for them. For instance, she never notes how ironic it is that if everyone “hated” depressed people like she did, she wouldn’t have had the wonderful network of support that she does…

        I did say numerous times that I think it’s great that she talked about her personal experience and that people should do that. But I do believe that even those who are writing personal accounts should be mindful of their privilege in life, and acknowledge it in their writing. I suppose we’ll just have to agree to disagree on that.

        • Yes, I do agree with you. Thanks for your clarification. Mostly, I was confused by what seemed to me to be an incendiary tone (for reasons you just clarified). Thank you and keep up the good work.

The Cleveland Indians made history this season for having the most consecutive wins as an American League team. The record was broken on Thursday September 14th, 2017 when Jay Bruce hit a walk off double to right field which brought the score to 3-2 in the bottom of the 10th inning. Making a franchise record as well with the 22 game win streak, the Indians now hold the number one spot in the American League Central with the Minnesota Twins trailing by 16 games. There 22 game win streak was the second longest streak in Major League history. Pitcher Trevor Bauer tells the, “It’s been a really good team bonding thing. Everyone’s kind of into it and they enjoy it.” The 1916 New York Giants hold the record with 26 consecutive wins. Although, the Giants 1916 team did have a tie in the middle of their 26-win streak, the Major League Baseball does classify it as the longest win streak in baseball history. The “Windians,” streak was ended on September 15th by the Kansas City Royals with a loss of 3-2.

Before the Indians’ streak started, they were 7.5 games behind the Houston Astros, and 3.5 games behind the Red Sox. Also, before the streak they had a 4.5 game lead over the Minnesota Twins in the American League Central Division. When the streak ended they were up 13.5 games over the Twins. The Twins went 12-8 when the Indians went on their 22 game win streak. During the streak they played 36 different players but no player played in all 22 games. The Indians also outscored the opposing team by 105 runs and had 41 more homeruns than them. The Indians achieved a 21-1 Pythagorean record. The Pythagorean Record is an estimation on how many games a baseball team “should,” have won depending on how many runs they score and how many runs they have allowed.

This streak helped to have the best record in the American League Central Division. Their success earned them a postseason spot already. Worst case scenario, the Indians will have the second wild card spot for the 2017 playoffs. The Indians tied the 2002 Oakland Athletics record on September 13th with the streak of 20. The Oakland Athletics 2002 team, with General Manager Billy Beane, had a 20-consecutive win streak. That 2002 team took a sabermetrics route to success, which is the application of statistical analysis to baseball records in order to evaluate and compare the performance of individual players. For batting, they focus on the On-base percentage which is total number of hits, plus bases on balls, plus hit by pitch, divided by plate appearances. Pitching is calculated by dividing the number of earned runs allowed by the number of innings pitched, and multiplying by 9, the number of innings.

The Cleveland Indians are now at a record of 98-58 coming into the final stretch of the regular season. They have also clinched the American League Central Division with six more games left in the regular season before the ALCD playoffs start.

Castle Howard is one of those stately homes whose name is familiar even if you’ve never visited. Made famous by the film Brideshead Revisited (with a remake made more recently in the same setting), it’s a beautiful house and estate not far from York.  It was on my list to visit when we were on a break in York and decided to visit after our trip to Whitby.

Visiting Castle Howard yorkshire - Bubbablue and me

I was expecting it to be heaving with us arriving on a very warm sunny afternoon, but we had no problems finding a parking space. While there were plenty of people around, there was only a short queue to buy a ticket, and nowhere was too busy.  N decided he wanted to do the Easter trail (always a good way to keep him going when we visit somewhere, knowing there’s a prize at the end of it), and he didn’t moan too much when I said we’d be going in the house as well as round the gardens.

Castle Howard isn’t cheap so you probably want to make sure you’re there all day. There’s plenty to do with lovely walks around the lake and woods, trails, the house, shop, café, the land train and boating on the lakes.

Castle Howard – in the house

Castle Howard indoors is pretty jaw dropping in places.  The start of building was in 1699, but took over 100 years to be completed. The dome is what it’s famous for and you can’t help but just stand and stare looking around at all the artwork details.  The dome was rebuilt after a fire in 1940. It’s really beautiful.

There’s plenty of gorgeously decorated rooms to discover as you walk through the house.

When we were there, there was also an exhibition celebrating Brideshead Revisited and showing photography from behind the scenes of the filming of the 2 movies. I’ve not seen either, but it was still interesting to see the background to the film around the estate.

The grounds

With the sprawling parkland, lakes and woodland to walk around, you can walk for a while without coming across crowds of people. Even the Easter Trail was a lot quieter than any National Trust events ever are.  There were about 4 families going along the trail at the same time and pace as us, but it didn’t cause much hassle.

The trail was confusing though. You needed to find colourful eggs, mark them off, and then answer questions around ‘so and so took my eggs and another rolled away, how many do I have?’.  Everyone seemed to be doing it differently, and it wasn’t clear up front whether you needed the totals from each location adding together, or just each slot. We’d gone to about 3 before we realised after overhearing others that we’d totally missed the point and the end question.

At the end everyone ended up with a different answer, none of us were quite correct and it seemed a few of the eggs had been moved or taken before we got there.  It was still fun and was a different trail to most places we’ve been. And there was a little chocolate egg at the end for a prize.

We had a nice woodland walk for the trail and it ends at the boathouse, lake and huge playground.  We didn’t have time to take a boat ride, but made the most of the warm weather to have an ice cream.  And a play on the playground which has so many different pieces of equipment that we’ve not seen elsewhere.

looking out of the land train

I’d promised a ride on the landtrain back up to the reception. It runs every 20ish minutes and is free to ride.   It was definitely a good idea after a full day of walking out and about in Whitby in the morning and then around the grounds of Castle Howard.

If you’re in the area, Castle Howard is definitely worth a trip. There was much more to see that N dragged me away from, especially the walled gardens.  For the price, it’s good value for a good few hours visit.

Have you ever been? Where would you recommend nearby?

    • It was more beautiful than I thought, and so much space. Would have loved to have had time to do a boat ride.

Canadians Getting Tired Of Green Party's "I'm The Victim Of An Unfair System"

Canadians will soon tire of Green Party Leader, Elizabeth May running around ranting ... 'I'm the victim of an unfair system - I DESERVE a seat in the House of Commons!"

Canadian voters know that the honour of a seat in the House of Commons is earned, it is not handed to someone who exceeds at politcal whining and carping.

Overall, Green Party tactics have completely degenerated in the last couple of days now that their senior strategist has walked away from May's idiotic strategy.

Certain Green bloggers are now resorting to drive by smears on sites that no one can respond to - no comments allowed / no email address - no retort possible.

This is all going to backfire in May's face. People tire very quickly of self promoting victims. May has taken her 'victim' role to new heights.

Elizabeth .... you are not much of a strategist!

Progressive Bloggers

I thought the NDP agreed the current system is unfair and favoured electoral reform?

And you Liberals did what about it while you had 13 years in power?

Go back to duping Elizabeth May into thinking the Libs have her best intersts at heart!

You'd think it was the Green Party in power or something, seeing all these hysterical attacks on May and the GP in general from the NDP blogging crowd.

Memo to NDP: the Tories are in power.

It seems some believe in electoral reform... until it's no longer in their interests.

In countries using proportional representation, cross-party candidate deals and endorsements are common.

Giving the weakness of the NDP, I can understand why they are attacking so hard.

Yer boog's title sez Canajuns is gettin' tired of hearin' a quote that you made up an' put in the GPC's mouth. Then, yer first boog story sentence sez Canajun "will soon" get tired of hearin' somethin' yer sayin' Lizzie sed.

Which is it? Are they gettin' tired? Or will they soon get tired?

What evidence do you have to back up the assertion that Canadians are gettin' tired of anything the GPC sez?

As afr as I can tell, yer just hopin' an' wishin' an' predictin' based on nuthin'. Show some proof of them tired Canajuns yer tellin' about. Maybe it's just 2 Canajuns - Bucky an' Lefty.

As far as not allowin' comments goes, you guys know dang well you've disallowed comments from me before an' I've even emailed you an' asked why an' received no reply. You did publish my most recent comment an' maybe you'll publish this one but you ain't lily white in the comment moderation department.

I clearly remember the NDP and its dippers complaining about how unfair the first past the post was and were begging for electoral reform.

Whats with the 360 all of a sudden.

Oh yeah, NDP numbers in the polls.

As for the liberals doing anything about electoral reform in their 13 years, they never promised to. But the NDP has always thought it should change.

Unfortunately for the Green Party, I do not turn the other cheek. When they go on the attack against my party and my leader as they have the last few days .... they should NOT be surprised that in politics there will be push back.

Once again, there seem to be more Liberals involved in this little tussle between the Greens and the NDP then you would expect there to be.

Why is that? Why is it that Liberals are trying to convince Greens that they have their 'best interests at heart'?

jay said, "As for the liberals doing anything about electoral reform in their 13 years, they never promised to. But the NDP has always thought it should change."

Then why are Liberals so worried about getting the Greens into the House NOW .... doesn't that seem a little hypocritial???

Mark said, "It seems some believe in electoral reform... until it's no longer in their interests."
Unless you are a Liberal then those who DID NOT believe in electoral reform now do.... because it is in their interest to do so.

The NDP is really sad. So anything but progressive.

the liberal party of canada has sucked in every progressive movement that has come along in the history of canada

all the way to the various united farmer governments (and before), to the progressives, to the NDP (the CCF was relatively immune to the libs), and now the green party

the liberals will use and do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to keep power and then will ditch

it will happen again with the greens

one of the reasons the NDP is reacting so badly is because of the number of times it was sucked in by the libs since it was created in the early '60s... i suspect collective guilt

also, the NDP has had the same fight with the self-righteous left before. it was called the Trotskyists back in the '30s, the waffle in the '60s, and now the group of purist malcontents has clustered around the green party

that way those pious lefties get to make righteous pronouncements from a place where they will never have to make good on them, and they easily be as pure as they wanna be

this will all come out in the wash soon enough

the green party will learn the hard way what deals with the liberals are about

Jimbobby - I've sent you an email to the addy listed on your site - would you take a look at it when convienient? Thanks!

Even with PR, it's Jim Harris that deserves a seat, not Elizabeth May. She hasn't run for squat.

Jimbobby - thanks - I sent a reply to your hotmail.

FYI fer all: Leftdog emailed me with an explanation re my unpublished comments an' he an' I shook hands an' buried any hatchets we was carryin'.

I'm takin' back what I sed about this boog not bein' lily white in the comment moderation department. I reckon there was a misunderstandin' an' I'm sorry fer jumpin' to conclusions an' fer gettin' all in a huff.

NOTE To Politique Vert:

How convienient. Listen, you simply savaged jack layton in that post ... you can chuckle and say that no one really cares .... no harm done ... wink wink but that is a croc of shit!

You have found a convienient way to lay down mean spirited words and accusations without any option for the target of your words to retort.

That is NOT funny - it is not 'cute' -it is the worst style of right wing tactics and you need to rethink your approach. Even with an email address listed, someone could come back and give retort or set the record straight when / if your arguments are not accurate.

I have nothing but contempt for your approach to blogging. It is calculated and it is nasty.

The current fptp is unfair, and neither the conservatives or the liberals federally have ever shown any interest in changing this. Nor have I seen any current interest to do so, at the parliamentary level.
That said, because something is unfair, does not mean that it justifies other 'means' to justify certain 'ends.'
Any 'means' possible has justified lots of desired ends. So for example, you have anti-abortionists kill doctors or bomb abortion clinics because they desire that abortion made illegal. You had communist leaders kill their citizens during the communist revolution to justify changing their society to a communist one. In the US you have anti-terrorist laws that justify that wire-taping their citizens justified by protecting against terrorist attacks. You have citizens in Iraq blowing themselves up in marketplaces to justify getting the 'invaders' out. You have members of political parties smearing other party candidates in order to win or keep their seat in parliament. I could go on and on, but my point is simply: two wrongs don't make a right no matter how you try to frame it.

I'm getting fucking tired of NDPers whineing on about being victimized by political realists who just want to get rid of Conservatives.

Either you want to defeat the Conservatives or you don't.

A temporary working coalition of non-Conservative parties will do that.

If you don't want to defeat the Conservatives JUST FUCKING SAY SO.

I'm enraged at the willingness you precious NDP pricks have to let Harper trash the country while you attack every other party *except* the Conservatives.

Please sir, who pays your make-up artist?

What the fuck is that?

Is that what NDP criticism of Harper and the Conservatives looks like today?

Dana - that is totally out to lunch!

I am going to make 3 points:

1) What do you mean I don't fight tories!?? While you Liberals drove every non Liberal blogger crazy with your endless 9 month leadership race,
it was the bloody Dipper bloggers who kept the fight with Harper going!!!

2)And if you don't recall that, what about the little hair pull that just went on on Progressive Bloggers that some of us tried to chill out so that we could focus on going after Harper!

3) The minute the Dion / May deal was signed (the ink was still wet) both Liberal and Green bloggers went nuts attacking Layton - don't tell me that wasn't coordinated!!!

New Democrats are pissed at Liberals for being so bloody dishonest, trying to convince the Greens you give half a shit about them - what a joke! This entire Central Nova deal is a piece of crap (so much so that her strategist walked and Heard is doing open criticism of Dion - you don't mention that but boy oh boy you go after Dippers - what a thinly veiled bit of scheisterism that is!!!!))

Right. The most important thing is to make sure that everyone thinks I'm a Liberal just because I think it's more important to beat the Cons than to cling to 19th century political labels.

Good for you.

Jeff nailed you on the first comment.

"Certain Green bloggers are now resorting to drive by smears on sites that no one can respond to - no comments allowed / no email address - no retort possible."

Tough, not all bloggers have open comments *cough yours are moderated*. It didn't stop you from blogging your response on your site.

May's strategy is so bad, you're talking about it a week later ;-) yup a total media failure.

You don't agree then with the Senior Green Party strategist?

Do you ACTUALLY believe that the Libs have the Green Party's best intersest at heart???

Even the Liberal strategist challenged Dion, his leader, publically on this. Greens are saying nothing about that ... just attacking New Democrats!

We see through May & Dion's strategy. It is all about attacking the NDP. It has nothing to do with getting Elizabeth into the House. It has nothing to do with defeating MacKay.

It is about Liberals and Greens attacking New Democrats.

When they push us ~ we push back.

    Thank you

    • Budapest Market Hall

      Dear Diana,
      On Easter Monday the market halls are usually closed (as on Apr 22, 2019). The same applies to all national holidays throughout the year. Thank you for your understanding.

      • Is Great Market Hall still open during covid? I REALLY hope it is!!!! Are there still the dolls availiable for buying there?

        • Budapest Market Hall

          The Great Market Hall is open to visitors (mask is compulsory).
          If you wish to buy dolls, perhaps you may want to check some other souvenir shops along Vaci street (Vaci utca) connect the market hall with the iconic Vorosmarty square in the heart of the city. Prices may vary as vendors decide their profit range, so it may be worth comparing dolls and prices before you commit to buy one.

    Will the market be opened on the 25th or 26th or December?

  6. Hi,
    Will the market be opened on December 31th?

  7. Hello. Does anyone know when there will be no 10 day quarantine that people from the U.S going to Hungary will need to take? We are really looking forward to going to Hungary for 2 weeks and that 10 day quarantine will really mess up our first time here and only allow us to have 4 days in Budapest, the wonderful state of the country Hungary. Anyone got any ideas when that will be over? We are dying to come here for 2 weeks!!!

    • Budapest Market Hall

      We are really happy to see how attractive you find Hungary. Travel can be such a great experience.

      The current situation keeps changing as Hungary keeps negotiating with other countries from all over the world about the mutual acceptance of Covid passports. Although currently the list of accepted countries is quite short, by summer time it may improve. It is not guaranteed that the US and Hungary will have finalised their Covid passport agreements by July; if there is no official outcome yet, unfortunately, the current regulation makes the quarantine compulsory to keep the spread of Corona virus at bay. This is the protocol in most countries in Europe I’m afraid, for the very same reason. Once there are Covid immunity cards, which are internationally accepted, they will most probably enable tourists to travel around with no quarantine (assuming incoming tourists are symptom free). Right now it is hard to predict when that day will come in 2021. Thank you for your kind patience and understanding.
