Stupid fling’s ruined my life

Dear Miriam,

In a moment of madness, eight years ago I had a brief affair with my daughter’s boyfriend. His guilty conscience got the better of him, he confessed to her and I got all the blame.

My husband threw me out and I haven’t seen my daughter since. I know she married the boyfriend and they have two children. I wasn’t invited to her wedding. I had to watch from a doorway across the street and it breaks my heart I’ve never held my grandchildren.

I long to see her and them. I know where they live and want to get in touch. I’m so sorry for what I did. What now?

Karen

Dear Karen,

You committed the ultimate betrayal and have had to pay the price. You know it was a terrible mistake but, as your daughter hasn’t bothered to seek you out, it seems unlikely that time has softened her anger towards you.

Having you in her life again would be a stark reminder of your treachery and her husband’s fickleness. They won’t want to reopen old wounds.

If you’re brave enough to try, and you’ve steeled yourself for rejection, you need to prepare the ground by writing a letter spelling out that you’re full of remorse and begging her forgiveness.

If you send it Recorded Signed For, you can be sure it gets there. The best of luck.

The pleasure’s all mine..

Dear Miriam,

I’m so glad a friend recommended that I buy a vibrator – I didn’t know what an orgasm could feel like until then.

The only trouble is, I enjoy it so much I’ve been using it when I wake and before I go to sleep. It’s a guilty secret I’ve kept from my boyfriend.

Now I’m worried because it’s ruining sex between us. I feel nothing when he tries to excite me.

It’s as though I’ve lost all my sexual sensation and don’t feel like a proper woman any more. Has the vibrator been damaging me?

Carla

Dear Carla,

It’s OK to like the orgasms you experience from a vibrator best. Plenty of men prefer masturbation as they can control the orgasm.

Vibrators produce subtle and intense stimulation of the clitoris and this is an easier way than full sex for many women to achieve orgasm. It’s possible, if you get more physical pleasure this way, that subconsciously your desire for more conventional sex has been dampened.

Vibrators cannot desensitise anyone permanently. Maybe you need more variation in your sex life and you should reduce your dependency on the vibrator or incorporate it into your sex life with your boyfriend.

Massage exercises can awaken sexual responses, and you should find my Sensual Massage leaflet useful.

Trapped by her jealousy

Dear Miriam,

My girlfriend is insanely jealous. She gets angry when I talk to other women and is constantly worried I’ll be unfaithful to her. I need some independence to be happy and she doesn’t understand we can’t spend every minute together.

In the two years I’ve known her, I can’t think of anything I’ve done to make her mistrust me. She’s 23 and I’m 25. It’s driving me crazy. How can I deal with her?

James

Dear James,

Nothing can ruin a relationship faster than jealousy. It creates anxiety, anger, loneliness, hate and fear. Being with a jealous person is tough but your girlfriend is also suffering. It’s very painful and destructive to feel that way but ultimately, the jealousy is her demon to conquer. All you can do is continue to be faithful and tell her how you feel.

There could be many reasons why she feels insecure and clingy, including hurtful experiences in childhood and past relationships. Has she ever talked to you about these feelings?

Ask her to tell you the things you do that spark her insecurity. Once you know the triggers, do your best to avoid them. Put the emphasis on helping her boost her self-esteem. Keep telling her how much you love her and give her compliments.

Kids refuse to keep it clean

Dear Miriam,

I have two children, a girl and a boy aged 15 and 13, who are very lazy. They won’t help me in the house and wait until the last minute to do their homework

Power outages spike in heat

Power outages spike in heat

0 Comments | Sun, The; San Bernardino, Calif., Jul 19, 2010 | by Joe Nelson

Sweltering temperatures triggered 138 power outages across San Bernardino County over the weekend, with the High Desert cities of Victorville and Barstow taking the biggest hit as residents fought to stay cool.

“Some were 30 seconds to a few minutes, and some were a few hours,” said Lois Pitter Bruce, spokeswoman for Southern California Edison.

Between Friday and Sunday, the West Valley saw 16 outages, affecting 5,247 customers from Ontario to San Bernardino.

Victorville saw 55 power outages affecting 20,289 residents, and Barstow had 22 outages affecting 4,957 residents.

In the East Valley there were 15 outages affecting 7,434 Edison customers from Grand Terrace to Yucaipa.

In all, 48,207 Edison customers were affected by the weekend power outages. Intense heat and lightning strikes were the culprits, Pitter Bruce said.

Edison crews spent the weekend responding to the influx of calls, many of which were reports of downed power lines and blown transformers.

“Our crews are really working hard. We really had a lot of challenges in tough conditions,” Pitter Bruce said.

As temperatures cooled, so did the power outages. None were reported on Monday, Pitter Bruce said.

“It’s been a welcome relief today,” she said.

The weekend scorcher brought out the best in some people.

On Sunday, sheriff’s Deputy Jeff Woulfe was summoned to a Hesperia mobile home park when another deputy, who responded to a report of elder abuse at the park, learned that a 90-year-old woman was living in a stifling trailer because her swamp cooler had malfunctioned

And if you’re really motivated you can

July 29th, 2010

And if you’re really motivated you can build a solid business with interest and intellectual stimulation that provides information to others who can benefit from your knowledge, whilst creating additional retirement income for your family.

You never have to sell a product or service; you can build upon this foundation of information. It?s your choice, depending on your skills, inclination, and time availability.

But if you do like the idea of selling a service; perhaps using your knowledge as a Consultant, you could offer a service related to your particular niche. Since every service revolves around a theme you could build a client base, whether clients are local (e.g. business consulting, or organizing children’s birthday parties) or global (e.g. assessing the value of antiquarian books or travel services). Or you could start a completely new service business — what do you know or do, that is of value to others? This is how you can start to build a business and with it additional money.

Just like me, before getting too involved you’d probably want to see what other people like you and I have done, and perhaps get some good ideas for yourself take a look at these results which range from “Home Decorating” to “Juggling” and making

Journal, The – ONE STONE AT A TIME

ONE STONE AT A TIME

Topeka Capital-Journal, The, Jul 25, 2010 by Jan Biles

By Jan Biles

THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL

WETMORE — Paul and Martha Fritz can pretty much tell you the source for each boulder in their 20-acre rock garden.

“Half came from this farm, and the rest neighbors donated,” Paul, 68, said as he and his wife of 40-some years walked the rolling landscape of their farm north of Wetmore.

The garden has been a labor of love for the couple since they sold their dairy cows in 1995 and Paul retired from his welding job in Sabetha about six years ago.

“My wife said I couldn’t sit in the house, so I went rockin’, ” he said.

The couple’s journey into landscaping and garden design started when Martha wanted a big rock placed at a corner of their driveway so it could be used as the centerpiece for a flower bed. Her husband went to a back pasture, found a good-looking boulder and hired a bulldozer to have it dug up and moved near their house.

But Paul didn’t stop with that one native limestone rock. More rocks made it from the pasture to their yard, and neighbors agreed to let him remove boulders from their property in exchange for welding services. He used a tractor with an attached shovel to dig up some of the rocks and then hauled them back to his farm on a four- wheel trailer.

“He had an idea and it just sort of grew,” Martha, 66, said. “He has a better imagination than I do.”

“There was no plan for this,” her husband said

Pilot and The Ledger-Star, Norfolk, VA – DIY vacation turns into a tough trip

DIY vacation turns into a tough trip

0 Comments | The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-Star, Norfolk, VA, Apr 11, 2010 | by CATHLEEN F CROWLEY

By Cathleen F. Crowley

Albany Times Union

People asked me where I was going on vacation and it almost seemed cruel to tell them.

“I’m sailing the British Virgin Islands.”

It sounded so decadent, so idyllic.

Boy, was I wrong.

The islands rise like beautiful tree-covered volcanoes out of the Caribbean-blue sea. They are perfect for bareboat sailing, where you charter a boat with no crew or provisions. Arranged in a ring, the islands are always within sight and the water is relatively calm.

I ventured on this trip with eight adults and three children. My husband captained one boat; the second was commanded by someone we’ll call Gilligan to protect his identity.

My vision of decadence vaporized when I went below deck. The kitchen and bathrooms were the size of telephone booths. The two- person beds were shaped like a twin mattress that tapered to the size of a sleeping bag.

On my boat, three adults and three boys, age 9 to 13, shared two toilets that we weren’t allowed to flush when we were in the harbor, which meant no flushing for multiple hours and multiple uses.

Oh, this is like camping, I thought.

The charter company provided surprisingly few rules or instructions when handing over the keys to the boats. (Our captains had to show their log books to prove they had done this before.)

Despite the company’s warning that we should stop sailing at 4 p.m., we strolled into port at 4:30 p.m. that first night. Being that it was school vacation week around the world apparently, only one mooring ball was left. Gilligan’s boat took it, although his crew needed help grabbing the ball.

My boat motored through the mooring field desperately looking for an open ball. A “private” mooring sat empty, taunting us, but we didn’t know if the owner was returning later.

As darkness fell, we had no time to try another port. We tried anchoring the shallow edges of the port, but the anchor wouldn’t set. After two attempts, we tried in the deeper water among the moored boats.

My husband worked the anchor at the bow of the boat. I was the only other passenger willing to take the helm.

I started to realize I had seriously miscalculated how much skill it took to maneuver these 39-foot vessels. I have no experience steering a large boat, but someone had to do it

As you go over

July 29th, 2010

As you go over the rules, meal plan and emergency numbers your furry family member follows your every move. He even almost models how to diaper the youngest one. He is excited and not sure what is going on, but he is thrilled to have a new person to pay attention to him. You give hugs, kiss the kids Goodnight and give a pat to your pup as you head out. In your car you mentally go over the details to be sure you told the sitter everything. You drive off confident you have covered it all.

But have you? What about your dog? Do you know how this babysitter feels about dogs? Have you provided an area where the dog can be put so that they can focus full attention on the kids? What about if there is a thunderstorm? How will your dog react and what should the babysitter do?

It is important that parents learn about safe kid & k9 interaction so that they can help plan and prepare anyone who will be responsible for their children while they are away from home.

July 29th, 2010

This succeeds in reducing the appetite as the brain sends out satiation signals instead of hunger signals. The brain gets a wrong message of satiety due to the raised leptin levels. Overall results include loss of appetite, more energy expenditure and ultimately weight reduction due to decreased fat stored in the body.

Driving for Quality Care Tour Sweeps from East Coast to Midwest, Calling on Congress to Extend Aid for Senior Care

Driving for Quality Care Tour Sweeps from East Coast to Midwest, Calling on Congress to Extend Aid for Senior Care

Business Wire, July 26, 2010

Momentum Builds as Members of Congress Rally with Local Caregivers

WASHINGTON — With time running out before Congress recesses for the summer district
period without passing an extension of emergency Medicaid relief (FMAP)
to help preserve seniors access to quality nursing and rehabilitative
care, the American Health Care Association and National Center for
Assisted Livings (AHCA/NCALs) nationwide Driving for Quality Care
petition tour continues to draw significant support from legislators and
coverage from local media.

The central message of our national grassroots campaign is that
adequate, stable and consistent Medicaid funding is directly linked with
high quality care and caregiver jobs in communities across America,
stated AHCA/NCAL President and CEO Bruce Yarwood. Congressional passage
of emergency Medicaid relief is the needed first step to protecting
seniors access to quality care. So, were going to spend all summer and
fall signing folks up to our nationwide campaign to send a message to
Washington the seniors in our care deserve no less.

After a successful launch in the nations capital last month, the
AHCA/NCAL RV has traveled more than 3,000 miles through 14 states,
generating considerable media attention.

Highlights from the tour to date include:

Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) expressed support by saying,
There is no question that we absolutely need Medicaid relief for our
families who are struggling and I have been fighting for this extension
for months. Senator Rockefeller, Chairman of the Senate Finance
Subcommittee on Health Care and longtime supporter of Medicaid funding
for families continued, In West Virginia, like many other states, this
funding supports many good-paying jobs and is a vital part of our health
care system

21st century racecourse will exploit common land

21st century racecourse will exploit common land

0 Comments | Lincolnshire Echo, Jul 27, 2010

THE history of Lincoln’s West Common and the Carholme Racecourse has been written about in articles and in the letters page of the Echo and elsewhere.

For a summary of its history and present ecology, there is a notice board provided by the city council at the West Parade gate of the Common.

If the City of Lincoln Council allows the Lincolnshire Racecourse Regeneration Company (LLRC) a leasing right to the West Common, the information on their notice board will no doubt be amended, to reflect the changed nature of the future conditions governing access and the natural state of the Common.

It would be an extremely foolish company that invested Pounds 12 million in a venture on leased land without the right to determine how that land was controlled and treated.

Sixteen days of racing from March to October with an expected 5,000 entry-paying punters may require a considerable security force to keep out the non-paying spectators, dog walkers, horse owners and horses and the sporting fraternity who use the Common and very high fences to ensure this.

It is mooted a hotel and a conference centre will be built, making the Common a year-round venue for not only racing, but with an events programme possibly in competition with the Lincolnshire Showground.

A modern racecourse needs modern facilities.

It requires car parking, hotel accommodation, restaurants, fast food concessions, bars, lavatories, medical and veterinary centres, comprehensive stabling and so on.

The Common itself will have to tamed.

Paths and roads paved for fast emergency services and the racecourse widened. The original Carholme racecourse, which existed from the 18th to the 20th century, had less effect on the West Common’s evolving ecology than the past 30 years of the Carholme Golf Club on the south side of the Common.

To maintain and expand its business the LLRC would have to manage, change and maintain its leased ground to suit its specific needs as the Carholme Golf Club has done.

Should this lease be granted, the enterprise will have to be policed, litter cleared, vandal protected and the ground built upon.

Any advantage to the city and its population will be outweighed by the LRRC exploiting the land for the companies investment return and profit. Unlike the Christmas Market, cycle and foot races and other occasional gatherings and festivals, the likely A57 disruption, given the LRRCs projected calendar will be both regular and frustrating.

Whatever happens, we would still pay an increasing amount of council tax, part of which will be for the maintenance of the Lincoln Commons. The problem is not in my back yard, but who has the right to stop you using and enjoying it.

DON SMITH Hewson Road, Lincoln.

Ryder set to miss tri-series

0 Comments | Dominion Post; Wellington, New Zealand, Jul 21, 2010 | by Mark GEENTY

JESSE RYDER is in serious doubt for next month’s tri-series in Sri Lanka as he battles a shoulder injury.

The 14-man New Zealand cricket squad leaves for Darwin on Friday for a training camp and Ryder, who struggled in a fitness test in Christchurch yesterday, is increasingly unlikely to be on the plane.

The Dominion Post understands that Ryder has minor ligament damage in his right shoulder which flares up when he throws.

While it wasn’t deemed serious enough to warrant surgery, New Zealand Cricket was cautious about risking him against Sri Lanka and India.

Coach Mark Greatbatch confirmed the side had injury concerns but wouldn’t identify the player
