Need A Card?


National Abuse Awareness Day

To approach this most difficult obstacle to ethical, moral, and human evolution as an abused survivor is not appropriate for the task at hand. As Dewey, I can do it> The practical aspects of abuse is that it works for the abuser. Think about that. Then go into your kitchen and pretend that you are Emeril a great and renowned chef and fix yourself a cucumber salad. You will need two cucumbers, minced garlic, and tiny chunks of fontinella cheese. First rinse the cucumbers, peel with a knife not a potato peeler and slice diagonally in thin slices. Arrange in platter. Take three garlic pieces and hit them carefully with the hilt part of your knife, take the garlic and mince it with your knife, carefull of your fingers(you can get the garlic smell of your fingers by rubbing them with parsley after you have thoroughly washed them with soap and water). Sprinkle the minced garlic over your cucumber slices. Dice in tiny chunks your fontinella and toss on top of your cucumbers. Mix a half cup of yogurt with two tablespoons white wine, pour over your salad. Find the hardest most expensive salami you can get and cut in tinier pieces than the cheese. Arrange on top. Put a sprig of parsley on your guests plate, if you have a guest. Serve with white wine. What were we talking about the societal implications of abuse and learned responses dictated by environmental imitate what you see responses.
When I was in the seventh grade a teacher of ours asked that we dress in costume to school for Halloween Before he walked into the class he shouted, Don't sit in your regular seats. We scrambled. When he walked into the room not a peep was heard. EXCEPT FROM ME. ah i didnt change seats.
His look at me could have wilted trees. "If you had kept your mouth shut, nobody would have known."
\It has been more than forty years since that captured moment in time and I have not forgotten. The first dictate imprinted on us by our secret abusing society is to keep your mouth shut. If you open your mouth, your abuser wins because you told. If you don't open your mouth, your abuser wins because you must have wanted the abuse or you would have told.

I didn't want to keep my mouth shut, Mr. Teacher, because I was flip about your class and flip about a community that was siding with an abuser who had been told on by me.

Now let us go back to our cucumber salad and add a perfectly grilled salmon drenched in lemon juice and shall we say, enjoy.

Integrating Desires with Acceptable Social Boundaries

We grow up not one step at a time but one leap at a time. Growth physical growth can be measured by the yardstick, but emotional and its necessary intellectual growth occur in bold leaps. Were you aware of the moment when you conceived of the utterly preposterous notion that other people had feelings as deep and important to them as yours are to you? You may take a few weeks to delve into that suggestion and in the meantime, you should take charge of your kitchen. My mother's favorite showing her kitchen who was the boss was to clean out the refrigerator. Every item was removed. All the shelves and doors were rinsed and wiped dry and finally all food items that could be put back in were.

Comfort Food for Children

Let us presuppose that you have taken an educational professional likeDewey at his word. You really aren't exactly accurate as to his intent since you are translating into you ecosystem what a wise and sage man accurately determined for his school of thought. However, one can only press onward trying diligently to maintain what you presume to be your master's wishes. And your master, now, wants you to consider your food as an integral part of what you are. Today's lesson is on preparation. I have predetermined that you will follow my advice and heed my warnings. To begin cooking one must have a will of iron. Drop those tv cooking shows like a hot handle picked up without a mitt. They are aimed at insuring your feelings of inadequacy and ineptitude. They are sponsored by huge food mill sponsors whose aim is to get you out of your kitchen because you cant of course and into their fast food lines chomping down cardboard shredded with ground beef and oooh isnt that good!. Find your kitchen. Search for a frying pan. Open your cupboards. Find a box of penne macaroni. Dont have penne noodles! What kind of macaroni do you have? They all operate on the same principle and taste the same. Depends on the dressing. Follow the box directions for two servings, one for yourself and one for your child.
Find oil. Put the frying pan on the front burner of your stove. You never want to put your frying pan on the back burner. You might have to reach in and oh gosh, set yourself on fire or at the least get steamed up. Turn the burner on add oil to slightly cover the bottom of you frying pan. Take one green onion and dice it add it to your oil and mix. Take one red pepper and mince it add to your onion and stir. Let fry for about three minutes. Make sure your macaroni is a bowl sprinkle parmesan cheese about an eighth inch on top. Take half a can of evaporated milk stir in one tablespoon of flour, add to stir fry and make sure the flame has been turned all the way down to low. Stir your veggie sauce for about three minutes. Pour on top of your macaroni, you dont need to mix it all up. Ladle out your macaroni onto individual plates always serve with bread never crackers. Always be sure to read through a recipe before you do it. No salt was added because the parmesan cheese is already salted.
