Hear the crickets?

<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hear 'em?  Yeah, me too. I sure don't hear anything else!<br /><br />Nothing new, nothing different, no response at all to the letter asking for DD.  I wrote that I wanted him to take his time and research.  I suggested he try to reach out to others by email if he felt it would help him understand.<br /><br />I have confirmation that it was read, though no questions or discussion yet.  No freaking out or extreme distancing from me.  Literally, we're just exactly the same.  Frustrating, yes, but reassuring that he's not totally dismissed it nor has he gone crazy from my request.<br /><br />That being said, he's got a massive project with work that's leaving him with insanely long work days that resume again after kids are off to bed.  It was our daughter's birthday so we had the build up to that... followed by the new buildup to her party this weekend.  And I'm sick.  I've had a snotty nose and been hovering around 101.5 <u>with</u> ibuprofen for a few days.  (no I haven't been to a doctor but the sickos around me have been, it's just a virus and if I'm not better yet I'll go on Friday) And we all know mommies aren't allowed to have sick days.  <br /><br />So it's bad timing on my part and I don't expect him to add me to his heap of responsibilities right now.  Yes, I wrote to him about ways that this will help him personally as well as our family as a whole.  About how I think he'll have more time on his hands if I got myself together.  But face it, it's a chore at least in the beginning until we both get some practice. <br /><br />I'm trying hard to continue my efforts to defer to his wishes.  There's been a couple of things since the letter - very minor - where he's told me what to do.  I feel the polite little argument welling in my throat but I won't let it out.  These things were stupid little things, things that either of our ideas were right for.  So I've followed his ideas.  I want him to see that I will accept any leading that he offers me.<br /><br />A striking and completely unexpected thing has happened though. My anxiety is way better.  I guess I have been so utterly terrified of his reaction that I couldn't really function.  On a scale of 1-10, my anxiety level was about 3,000.  Now, I'm basically fine.  That's how my anxiety works though.  I get so hung up on something, a thing that I usually have no idea what it is, and that underlying anxiety makes me incapable of dealing with even the slightest perceived snub or situation without a panic attack.  So it will come back.  But for now, I'm okay and really quite content...well, as content as I'm able to be!<br /><br />So he had no reaction... I don't know what that means and I'm guessing he doesn't know either.  The worst for me is over.  I don't know if DD is going to happen or not.  I do see both of evolving into more of a 51% - 49% type thing in time.<br /><br />The root of this whole journey for me has been for me to recognize what I'm doing wrong and to transition to one leader in the house.  It's been about me realizing how toxic I was/am.  I've gone from blaming him for everything and now see what I did to cause/contribute to the situation.  Seeing where my behavior has been the cause of tension, basically recognizing fault where it's due.  Learning to feel comfortable expressing when I feel hurt or overwhelmed.  I'm struggling with letting go of my ways and I feel like punishment is probably a better means to an end.  Currently there is absolutely no action I do wrong that has any consequence, aside from something illegal or dangerous.  I know what needs to be worked on and I'm stuck at a point of either I can't or I won't fix it on my own.  But still, I'm a grown-up and I am in control of my behavior.  And with or without DD, ultimately it's up to me to learn to be the person I want to be.

Oh No! I Can't Drink Starbucks and Be Right With God!

<div style="text-align: left;">I do understand that my failure to tithe has put me under a curse. I can accept that. I've been living "cursed" for quite some time, and it has been working out fairly well. Probably because it is a meaningless curse put on me by religious men and not God - but that is just speculation on my part.</div><br />But now David Barton comes along, and now there is a new curse I have to worry about. The curse is that if I drink Starbucks, I'm helping to support the destruction of marriage and I'm not "biblically correct".<br /><br />Says David in the video below:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i><b>“Biblically, there is no way a Christian can help support what is attacking God,” Barton said, adding “I’m sorry, you’ve got to find some other coffee to drink.  You can’t drink Starbucks and be biblically right on this thing.  It’s just a real simple principle.”</b></i></blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ajDtKzZW2Ik" width="560"></iframe></div><br />David Barton is the one who I wrote about <a href="http://fbcjaxwatchdog.blogspot.com/2011/10/david-barton-at-fbc-jax-our-declaration.html" target="_blank">here</a>, when he came to town telling us "...<i>the Declaration of Independence is nothing more than a listing of all the sermons we had been hearing in church for the 20 years leading up to the American Revolution</i>." This guy actually makes a living speaking in churches and telling people this stuff.<br /><br />So we can't drink Starbucks or we're "destroying marriage" and "attacking God". I remember the same baloney back in the 1990s at our church when the SBC recommended church members to boycott Disney after Disney decided to grant health benefits to employees' homosexual partners. You were the super-spiritual ones if you stopped taking your kids to Disney - if you did go to Disney or showed your kid <i>The Little Mermaid</i>, well, God was going to get you.<br /><br />I enjoy Starbucks. I buy cups of it brewed in their stores. I buy their beans at Publix and grind them at my house. I even bought a 12-pack of Keurig Starbuck packs for my Mr. Coffee Keurig machine. <br /><br />And I will continue to do so.<br /><br />No wonder evangelical Christians are laughed at and not taken seriously. The Holy Men of God say if we buy Starbucks, we're attacking God. If we criticize the pastor, we're attacking God. If we don't give 10%, we're cursed by God.<br /><br />God, deliver us from these fools. While I sip my Starbucks.<br /><br />H/T:  <a href="https://twitter.com/TheRev78" target="_blank">TheRev78</a>

Oh No! I Can't Drink Starbucks and Be Right With God!

I told you that weekend was going to be a killer! Sorry for my MIA-ness on Monday but mamma was beat.<br /><br />The good news is the weekend was a success. I had three great new client meetings and finished up a rather large article for <a href="http://www.stlmag.com/St-Louis-AT-HOME/Summer-2013/" target="_blank">St. Louis At Home Magazine</a> that the hubs called 'the term paper'.<br /><br />The bad news is now I've got another list of looming deadlines. You know when you've been working on something for a long time and you feel like you're in good shape, but then that thing that seemed like it was weeks away is suddenly around the corner and you feel totally unprepared? That would be me.<br /><br />We are hosting my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party at my house next weekend (which is going to be awesome) and I suddenly feel very behind.<br /><br />So please bear with me over the next few days as I might be a bit patchy with my posts. I promise tons of good DIYs and pretty pictures post party though, so it will be worth it.

By using social media, Citizen Cosponsors are updated on the status of their bills through a Facebook app as they move through the various stages of the legislative process.<br /><br />Anne Sorock at <a href="http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/06/with-cosponsor-gov-eric-cantor-joins-growing-crowd-of-marketer-legislators/">Legal Insurrection</a> praised the <a href="http://majorityleader.gov/">Majority Leader's</a> presence in social media:<br /><blockquote>Noticed the trend of legislators going beyond issuing press releases and fully embracing social media to distribute and market their point-of-view?<br /><br />Rep. Darrell Issa has been especially active in marketing himself and his committee’s activities, including design-heavy graphics and an active twitter account.<br /><br />Today Rep. Eric Cantor’s office launched a new website, Cosponsor.gov, which allows anyone to show their support for bills by clicking a link to “cosponsor” a given bill. </blockquote>Dana Perino commented on Tuesday's Fox News Channel's "The Five" about the new user-friendly tool, noting it was a good way to connect citizens with government. Perino was White House press secretary during George W. Bush's administration.<br /><br />Marking the launch of the new site, <a href="http://cantor.house.gov/">Congressman Cantor</a> noted:<br /><blockquote>“We live in a digital world. As House Majority Leader, I am committed to exploring new and innovative ways to foster a national conversation and improve communication between the American people and their elected officials.<br /><br />“The launch of Cosponsor.Gov is a sweeping expansion of our Citizen Cosponsor Project. The new website will now feature every bill and resolution introduced in the House, from Republicans and Democrats. I’m excited that any engaged citizen can voice their support, and track the status of legislation in the House.<br /><br />“The best part of this new website is it’s accessibility and simplicity. You can search by title, sponsor or bill number or browse issue areas and the tracker shows you exactly where the bill stands.<br /><br />“Whether you want to support new legislation like the Kids First Research Act or show support for legislation that has already passed the House, like the Working Families Flexibility Act, you can do so here.<br /><br />“Transparency, open government and engagement should be a key goal of all elected leaders in Washington, and Cosponsor.Gov is one step in that direction. Please visit Cosponsor.Gov and tell us what you care about. We are listening.” </blockquote>The Citizen Cosponsor Project was developed by the Office of the House Majority Leader and is built on Facebook's Open Graph platform. It uses House #OpenData sets released through the House Majority's #OpenGov initiative.

4 Reasons I bought Microsoft Surface after wrestling alligators (guest post by Mark, my nephew)

<em>When my nephew, Mark, used his birthday money and money he'd earned from working on his Mom & Dad's gator farm to buy a Microsoft Surface, I asked him to tell me why. It is important that we cover all platforms and make up our minds. I've used Windows 8 and have a touch-enabled Lenovo m90z at home and at school and believe that Microsoft has moved forward. I've asked Mark to share here on my blog on an ongoing basis. Mark is also one of my students and came to show me his new Surface the day he bought it. Mark bought a "Windows RT Surface." When I look at the Computer information it says the manufacturer is Microsoft.</em><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh48PWVhivAux_c9PPuS2XsG3hb4XwH4MBSUP-MBWMr7A46VXpYgZ6nqoh0CeCvV3Z9Kls5247B2f1hBtbH3gzI3g2kDuPyf7_bljrY3tbef4dbfUJnumQs_EneH-JIWafHJQKIeglFTpsC/s960/Photo%252520Jun%2525204%25252C%2525202013%25252C%2525208%25253A28%252520AM.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left;" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="alignleft" height="373" id="blogsy-1370350648391.7188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh48PWVhivAux_c9PPuS2XsG3hb4XwH4MBSUP-MBWMr7A46VXpYgZ6nqoh0CeCvV3Z9Kls5247B2f1hBtbH3gzI3g2kDuPyf7_bljrY3tbef4dbfUJnumQs_EneH-JIWafHJQKIeglFTpsC/s500/Photo%252520Jun%2525204%25252C%2525202013%25252C%2525208%25253A28%252520AM.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">When Mark bought his surface, he brought it to school to show me right away.</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: none;">by Mark, guest blogger</div>I bought the surface for many reasons. But these four are the main reasons why I decided to work hard for weeks on my dad’s alligator farm to earn the money needed to purchase this device. <br />I had a very hard decision to make. I had to decide if I wanted to buy Apple’s iPad, which was slightly cheaper, or the Surface. I had to spend a lot of time researching to decide which tablet to spend my hard earned cash on. Eventually I made up my mind and decided that the Surface was the right choice for me.<br /><h1>1. Portability</h1>A reason I bought the surface is its portability. It is a very convenient size for using it on an airplane, car, or just carrying it with you on your day to day routine. In fact I am typing this up on the way to the airport! The touch or type cover, when purchased, can protect the Surface and especially the screen when you travel with it.<br /><h1>2. Convertibility</h1>Another reason I bought the Surface is its ability to change from a tablet to a laptop. As a consumer, I couldn’t decide if I would rather buy a laptop or a tablet. When I found the surface, I was amazed that it wasn’t only a tablet, but could function as a laptop as well. If I want to play a game, I can use it in tablet form, but when I am ready to work, all I do is flip out the kickstand and snap in the touch cover and I am ready to work.<br /><h1>3. Usability</h1>One of the great things about the surface is its ability to use the internet smoothly. Other tablets, such as the iPad, have trouble running the internet and showing flash videos and playing flash games. (I also notice now that the Surface loads YouTube videos faster than Dad's iPad). The Surface can easily surf the web, and show you that video, helping you finish that grueling school project or research that new business idea.<br /><h1>4. Compatibility</h1>A great thing about the Surface is its compatibility with Office programs. Apple products and other tablets might have their own version of Word, Powerpoint, or Excel, but none of them compete with Microsoft Office. The new touch optimized version of office allows you to work casually, and then snap in the type cover to get productive.<br />I'm interested in purchasing a Windows phone next. (By the way I want a Nokia Lumia 928 in case someone out there is listening.)<br /><img alt="" class="" height="720" id="blogsy-1370350648414.5786" src="webkit-fake-url://F671E974-0C6D-46F6-B7F9-0026C07FEB81/imagejpeg" width="960" /><br /><br /><em>Mark takes his Surface everywhere.

As a military tank approached, one lone figure stood defiantly against the force, sending a message to the world the freedom and liberty were worth fighting for.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.freedomcollection.org/news/2013/06/the-freedom-collection-remembers-tianamen-square/">George W. Bush Institute's Freedom Collection</a> program coordinator, Christopher Walsh, commemorated the historical date:<br /><blockquote>The Tiananmen Square protests began as a student-led, pro-democracy uprising.  Lasting for several weeks, the demonstrations attracted people from different segments of society hoping to pressure the government on democratic reform.  The protest culminated on June 4, 1989 when the Chinese military dispersed demonstrators with tanks and lethal force.<br /><br />One of those demonstrators was <a href="http://www.freedomcollection.org/regions/asia/china/fang_zheng/">Fang Zheng</a>, who lost both of his legs in the crackdown.  For resisting government coercion to sign a written statement suggesting the incident at Tiananmen was an “accident,” Fang was denied his college degree.    This tragedy, however, did not dampen Fang’s spirit.  He became involved in wheelchair athletics and used his profile to advocate for human rights in China.  In his Freedom Collection interview, Fang remembers the moment when a Liberation Army tank ran him over, severing his legs</blockquote>Tiananmen Square. Those of us who sat in front of TV screens and watched it unfold in 1989 will never forget.
