The Addiction of Mary Todd Lincoln http://www.amazon.com/The-Addiction-Mary-Todd-Lincoln-ebook/dp/B0031ESW70/ref=zg_bs_154754011_f_9 Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of the president we have immortalized, has ­always been difficult for us to understand. She could appear poised and ­brilliant one moment, yet rude and ugly the next. Sometimes competent and strong, able to entertain dignitaries from around the world, at other times she ­appeared dependent and weak. At times she seemed utterly beside ­herself with sobbing and screaming. Historians have mostly avoided saying very much about Mary Todd ­Lincoln except in reference to her husband, Abraham. To many it would seem that Mary Todd Lincoln is still an embarrassment in the tragic story of her martyred husband. But Mary Todd Lincoln lived her own tragic story even before Abraham was murdered. She was an addict, addicted to the opiates she needed for her migraine headaches. Seeing Mary Todd Lincoln as an addict helps us understand her and give her the compassion and admiration she deserves. In her time there had been no courageous First Lady like Betty Ford to help people ­understand the power of addiction. There was no treatment center. In Mary Todd Lincoln’s time there were many addicts at all levels of society, as there are now, but it was a more socially acceptable condition for men to have than for women. More importantly, addiction was not very well understood, and it was often mistreated. Because Mary Todd Lincoln’s only surviving son, Robert Lincoln, made a great effort to protect his mother and his family from journalists and ­historians, he intentionally destroyed most of Mary Todd Lincoln’s medical records and many of her letters. What he could not destroy, however, is the record of Mary Todd Lincoln’s pain and the record of how she behaved while living with this pain. In The Addiction of Mary Todd Lincoln, we can see clearly, for the first time, what Mary Todd Lincoln had to live with and the courage it took for her to carry on.

Annarchy.....that show is fabulous! I started watching on Netflix and WOW. I'm not into gore, but it is a fabulous survival show

Mt. Rider....I had never heard of it either until last year, but I had also never been to Mardi Gras or St. Patty parades. They throw produce, trinkets and beads at St. Patty parades. Supposedly it was mainly produce and beads but after Katrina they said that people started throwing anything "useful". They still throw "green" things and "St. Patty" trinkets like cups and toys etc but people mainly come for the food. My son and I went through 8 bags of produce.....very large bags of produce. We also threw Ramen noodles, small boxes of cereal, sunflower seeds, candy, cookies and chips. The produce that was on the order form was cabbage, carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, bananas, lemons, oranges, apples etc. There will be 2 more this coming weekend but I just don't know what I would do with all of it. Not cooking much with DH gone

It actually went better than expected!!! Son had a great time and so did I. Thankfully it stormed up until time to leave then did not pick back up until after we were done. Got very lucky. It's very bizarre to be pulled down a street with people on all sides asking...sometimes begging...for carrots, potatoes and cabbage.....LOL. In my very imaginative mind I had a sudden thought of a zombie outbreak taking place as we are being pulled through the masses of people. Either I need to stop watching Walking Dead or I need my head examined!!! At any rate....we threw everything we had and forgot to stash some to bring home. I may hit up the parade this next weekend near NOLA, but I may need to get with some of you ladies to find the best way to preserve what I get.

I tell you what....I'm so ready for the weekend to be OVER!!! I have been running all day trying to get things in order for the St. Patricks Day Parade tomorrow. I've never been in one before, but in order for my son to ride I had to ride. I have spent a FORTUNE (8 bags of produce and several bags of other kinds of food and toys to toss) only for there to be a 80-100% chance of storms and rain!!! I've been sick since Jan with upper-respiratory stuff and just getting well....everytime it rains I have problems with breathing so I'm not looking forward to tomorrow at all and the thought that I have wasted all of this money or a lot of it on a parade that may be rained out makes me sick. During my errands I get rear-ended by a very high-maintenance woman with a horrible attitude. I get out and she rolls her window down and says, "I ain't hit you!" Of course to you couldn't spit between our bumpers and it really wasn't enough to call the law....I didn't think....but should have. I started arguing with her...forgetting that my little girl was in the car until I saw her crawling to the back to watch. I just shut up and got in the car. She made me so mad!!! Then an hour later I get a call that my son has taken a very hard fall on concrete and they thought he could've cracked his arm so I rush back over to check on him. He is actually fine but it was a good scare for me. Does someone have some pixie dust or something to blow my way?? I just need to get through parade tomorrow and it to be over. I want to get excited about it but just can't seem to get into it!

Thanks for posting this! St. Patricks Day parade is this weekend. Last year was our first one and we caught TONS of produce that went bad before I had the chance to use it. I don't want that to happen again.

Well, I think we have him all packed. Our friend/his boss told him when he was over they brought a mule in. It had been skinned but with guts and all still in it. They put it on top of the Living Qtrs for a few days THEN they went and start cutting it up and cooking it. GAG!!!! He said after that he never ate any meat out there. So we loaded him up on pouches of tuna and chicken, potted meat and Ritz then some small snacks. Loaded my old Nook up for him with some books to read and we are set to get him sent off tomorrow.

I have gathered some Survivalist Fiction that I'd be happy to share with you guys. I can email them to ya'll if you are interested.....just PM an email address and I'll send them

Fleeing her picture-perfect marriage among the privileged set of Brentwood and the wreckage of a failed marriage, Lily Parkins decides to move to the only place that still holds happy memories, her grandmother’s old farmhouse. The lush and majestic setting of the Pacific Northwest calls to her and offers a place of refuge and perhaps renewal. Her grandmother has passed away, leaving the Madrona Island Bed & Breakfast Inn to Lily. Left with only an old guestbook as her guide–a curious book full of letters, recipes, and glimpses into her family history–Lily is determined to embrace her newfound independence and recreate herself, one page at a time. With the help of the quirky island residents she has befriended, she slowly finds the strength to seek out happiness on her own terms. But as soon as she has sworn off men and is standing on her own two feet, Lily meets Ian, the alluring artist who lives next door, and her new life is suddenly thrown off course. The last thing she wants to do right now is to open her heart to another man. Ultimately, Lily must decide if it’s worth giving up her soul for security or risking everything to follow her heart in this romantic love story. The Guestbook is the first book in the Madrona Island Trilogy. www.madronaislandbandb.com Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels (save $16.99) http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Case-Christianity-Homicide-Detective-Investigates-ebook/dp/B00A71Y7I8/ref=zg_bs_154606011_f_10 Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

A serial murderer nicknamed the Blood Dahlia has been terrorizing the quiet suburbs of Pennsylvania. Brutally mutilating his victims in the fashion of the most famous murder in Hollywood, the killer leaves no trace behind. The FBI's elite Behavioral Science Unit, the section responsible for the study and investigation of serial murder, has little evidence to go on. Believing the killer to be beyond their reach, the agents in the BSU decide they must simply wait for the killer to make a mistake… until they meet Sarah King. Sarah, a mysterious outcast of the Pennsylvania Amish community, claims she has a unique ability: she can speak to the dead. And the victims of the Blood Dahlia are calling out to her. When the FBI enlists her help, special agent Giovanni Adami is skeptical of her abilities, but begins falling for the young woman. His feelings for her are clouded with his distrust of psychic phenomena, but as the Blood Dahlia grows in his barbarism, he knows the FBI has little choice but to explore every avenue available. Whether or not Sarah can speak with the dead ultimately doesn't concern Giovanni. He is interested in results, and when Sarah begins providing some, he must question everything he knows about the world and his place in it. She is either the cleverest fraud he has ever met, or a true psychic with an unexplainable gift. But when the Blood Dahlia takes an interest in Sarah personally, it will take every ounce of strength she has to survive.

Can I post Free Fiction as well?

Hope you have a fabulous day!!!!

Found out a few hours ago that DH will be flying out to Saudi Arabia Friday morning. Mixed feelings on this.....It's what we have been looking forward to b/c of the money but Middle East scares me. His boss (also our good friend) recommended he pack some tuna pkts b/c the food on this rig is supposedly horrible. I'm looking for any other items you guys may come up with as far as food/snack items that might not take up too much room in his suitcase and carry-on. Any ideas and ALSO PRAYERS would be greatly appreciated. We have no idea how long he will be gone....a month at the least from what we understand. Thanks guys!

I lucked up on some Hamburger that they marked down the other day. The meat guy and I was talking and he was talking about how they had to mark stuff down b/c people weren't buying it with price increase and they were expecting it to rise. Next thing I know he brings out a whole tray of marked down hamburger and gave me first dibs on it!! I was so excited....wasn't a lot but I grabbed all they had. We were unable to go back home for any holidays this year due to my daughters two surgeries so we didn't get to hunt so I have no deer meat....this was a great deal for me.
