My grandpa has Alzheimer’s so he has no idea who my grandma is but everyday for the last three or four months he brings her in flowers from their garden and asks her to run away with him and be his wife and everyday she says she already is and everyday the smile my grandpa gets on his face is the most beautiful heartfelt thing I have ever seen.

She was Vitamin D deficient.

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.”

What I Did: I loved the idea of making a swing from recycled jeans and other materials but I didn’t have all the same things so I substituted, using some ideas from another (commercial) swing I’d seen. I attached the pants differently and generally veered from the set course and… well… yeah. That didn’t work out!

Blog Post Detailing The Experience: http://lazyhippiemama.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/diy-toddler-swing-from-recycled-materials/ [Editor's Note: It's worth it to click over and see her finished product on the second try!]

My Result:

 

Next Time I Will: I did take a second shot at it with some much smaller jeans and it worked out much better. My boy loves his little recycled swing now!

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”

One lone woman stood for 10 consecutive hours against the entire Senate in the Lone Star state to defend a woman’s right to an abortion. What Texas Sen. Wendy Davis did is an example of what those of us who cherish individual rights – and our numbers are few – may have to do in [...]

1. With the next-generation of routers, Wi-Fi is about to get a lot faster and a lot more reliable. (HT: Kurt Barker, who comments “Thirty years ago, this was unthinkable. It was impossible to get ranch radios because the frequencies were at peak capacity. The similarities to “peak oil” are amazing. In both cases, we weren’t at the peak. We just needed demand to increase enough for the price signal to trigger innovation.”)

2. Jose Muniz, 52, became the 16th person to die in US domestic drug law enforcement operations so far this year, apparently from choking to death on a bag of cocaine as he struggled with Bronx police officers Wednesday night.

3. Reason.tv profiles another example of America’s over-regulated “nanny state” - the FDA has recently banned mimolette cheese from France, which has been produced for hundreds of years.

4. Booming, oil-rich North Dakota leads the country again with the lowest state jobless rate in May at 3.2%.

5. For the most recent week, shipments of oil by rail led the weekly gains again in railcar volume vs. last year at 35.6%.

6. Markets in everything, and an example of why the jobless rate in Williams County, ND (where Williston is located) is only 0.90%. 7. Why San Francisco is a terrible place to be a landlord in one graphic: 8. Economic fact from EMSI: The largest supply-chain job multiplier in the U.S. is “petroleum refineries” at 20.8.

9. Economic indicator: Passenger traffic at the Nashville Airport hit a 20-year high in May, and it had the busiest May in airport history.
