I really want to know... After he was banned, did he ever ask for reinstatement? His diaries were.....well.. different from the typical diaries here. I have always wondered what happened to him and wondered what he really knew and saw.

I just discovered Frye boots; I think I am late to the party as I am sure a lot of you are well versed with the company, history, and their product line. For some reason, and yes I should have done more research; but I thought they were Made in the USA and that is why they were so expensive, but when they arrived, sure enough to my dismay, I found out that my boots were not made in the USA but in Mexico. So although I like them; they are very comfortable and look great; I would like to know if anyone knows of bootmaker that still produces their product from start to finish in the United States.

P.S. My neighbor saw my boots tonight and asked me if they were Fryes and then launched into a story about how they were the "it" boot in the 60's and 70's! She even tried to find her old pair to show me. She was so enthusastic about them. It was touching.

P.S. Someone on this site mentioned that blankets were still made in the USA and a great one to buy were made in Fairbault Minnesota. Well I purchased one and it was well worth the extra expense. Very well made, and warm too!

I know this might not be a diary; but I am a beginner runner and worked myself up from a slow walk to a 5K; now I am training for a 10K and I keep getting back pain in the middle of my back; and sometimes on the right lower half. I am stretching so I don't know what else to do. What types of stretches can I do to prevent back pain? Someone always has the right answer for any type of question on this site so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Do Coyotes kill their prey quickly? I adopted my neighbors cat, well sort of, as my husband would not allow me to let the cat stay inside my house, which I know contributed to her early death... My neighbors expressed to me that they were "done with animals" so Mary, the cat's name, slept on my outdoor furniture. It was nice outdoor furniture and I live in Southern California so for the most part she was okay. She passed away last Friday. Torn to pieces. I want to know, so I can put this behind me, did she pass quickly? I am sorry for the sad diary, but I really want someone to tell me as we do not have a lot of coyotes, but.....it was the way she passed from this world.

My last diary was about Britney Spears - okay so check. cool. "community fluff" Not important. THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAN MENTAL ILLNESS! Get it. I suffer from anxiety. My whole world is becoming how to control it. Are you like me, it seems if I could just get a rest, some true relaxation...I would/could be okay. When I was younger in my twenties, I would often notice that too many "thoughts" were in my mind at once. It was hard for me to sort them out so I could make a coherent sentennce. I am, believe it or not, fairly successful at my job, but I am mentally, and physically taking a beating. I don't know how to stop running. I never stop thinking. How to help? Often, I wonder. I look at the ladies in my neighborhood, so fit, tanned and coiffed, and wish I could be them. Not, haggard, wide-eyed, and tired. And then the next day comes and I have to do the charade all over again. Sorry so whiney. Feel that way tonight. I'm tired.

I don't know why but I can't stand to see the pain this girl is exhibiting to the world. Can they force her to take medicine during this 5150? What are her rights here?

Maybe I relate to her because there have been times in my life where I felt that my life was outta of control. They were hard times indeed, but this is so public. I live in LA so I guess I'm closer to the industry that she's in then most. I wish her peace and I hope she has someone in her life that will step up and honestly get her help.

Where should I stay in San Francisco?

Hi -

I have a small time to spend in San Francisco and I need advice on where to stay. I will be with my 7 year old son who has never been to the city. We can afford a nice hotel,(4 star) and will not have a car, so it needs to centrally located. We are flying into Oakland and plan on taking the train in. This is our only vacation this summer. So come on locals, where should we stay?

I deleted my last diary because the comments I got were basically that I was only thinking about money and not the relationship. The thinking was was if the eldest sister wants the house (and she does) sell it to her at what she wants to buy it for and be done. The trouble with this is there are two more individuals in the mix that also do not own houses and they have feelings, needs, and wants too and everyone must agree on a price. Even if my husband and I wanted to sell the house at the sister's price, there is still another sibling who will not agree. I know in a diary I cannot convey everything but the reason I am writing this is because I am sincerely trying to find a way to mediate this so it doesn't turn into a family feud. There are three individuals and none of them can agree on a price for the house. They all need to be comfortable with the price as we want to avoid hurt feelings and deep resentments that will linger if they don't feel comfortable. My husband and I set a price that falls in the middle of the two sister's offer. This was rejected by both. Again, none of the siblings own a house of their own.

Why is this news a diary? Because my son is autistic, and there are quite a few folks who frequent this site that have children that are Autistic and I have gained a lot of insight from others on this subject. As some of you know my son was diagnosed with Autism about a year ago. Some may also know, that I fought this diagnosis because I truly thought he was just "quirky". A lot has happened since then, and we started therapy and I finally began to see how he could be helped, and finally faced why it was that his preschool teachers thought he should be tested. Well, my son started Kindergarten, as sort of a trial run for next year, where he will attend Kindergarten at a different school. We are trying to just pick up the social piece, academics can wait till next year. I am proud to report that he is doing so well, he is able to maintain a calm body, and is able to follow instructions just like his fellow classmates. It's the baby steps that count. I am a happy mom. I know we just started school, but the first week went better than expected:)

My son has autism. There I said it. But in the beginning it was hard for me to believe, and I am not naïve, I saw his stereotypic behaviors and I knew that they were not behaviors that his peers engaged in. I told myself that he was quirky, intelligent, witty little 5 year old that preferred adults, and had a little movement issue, and was a little inflexible, and then there was his rules and before I knew it, I was in over my head..... Besides, I am the queen of denial, and my son and this diagnosis were just was not a reality. In the beginning I'd tell myself, after yet another evaluation, oh this P.H.D is wrong, he's not autistic, he just energetic, and quirky. On the way home, I'd silently scream and rage to no one to leave my boy alone! I'd stew and think, and vow that I would not conform to this "Box" and I shout when one more teacher told me that he needed to be tested that there is nothing wrong, move along, nothing to see ...and then we go home, and he would walk in circles for hours, flapping all the while explaining various rock formations that look like clouds, and so on.....

I would put this in the open thread -but there isn't one up at the moment. I am trying to research my ancestors and have finally found the name of the village my Kruse ancestors came from. It is Hanstedt, Germany. I found the village by way of expedia.com in Lower Saxony, Niedersachsen. What does that mean? Is Niedersachen a state, and Lower Saxony a province?
The woman he married, Dorothea Buhr, her death certificate stated she was from the Ellerndorf province. Isn't this near Hanover? I know Germany looked different in 1882. This is the year they departed Bremen for the United States, but can you explain to me the organization of Germany in terms of villages, provinces, states etc.
