About Me

South Louisiana
I have been married for 20 years to a great husband and we have 8 children ranging in age from 1 to 18 years. I am a homeschooling mom, which can be very challenging. I love sewing, knitting, reading, gardening and have recently started oil painting. I love to create. I really want to have a blog to show off some of the stuff I create, but I also want to share about my life and family. email me at ctrich8@bellsouth.net

I miss this place

I miss my blog so much, but I just can't manage to get things together enough to devote any time to it. There is so much I want to share, Sophia is now 4 months and so big (almost 17lbs) and things are changing. We have decided to let our kids attend high school at a Christian private school, so next year Parker and Sydney will be gone most of the day. Austin spent his Senior Year at a Catholic Private School to play golf. He will graduate this year and turn 18 in 5 months! I am almost the mother of an adult! CRAZY!!!! Not much sewing going on, except for necessities. Sewed some bibs and diaper covers (I cloth diaper Sophia). I am knitting Chad a pair of socks, but they are taking forever. Almost finished with the first one, but he wears a size 13, so these are some looooong socks lol I also knit a skull cap for him and Austin. Knitting is easier to fit in right now, because you can easily start and stop. Sophia still wakes up 2 to 3 times a night and will only nap in my arms and on my boob lol She is the baby and I will do what she wants lolol I don't want to let this space go, I am hoping to be back soon, but when soon is, I don't know.....

Take your time and enjoy that sweet baby! It took me nearly a year to find a new normal with my last one. We are easing out of homeschooling here too and confident that it's the right decision at this time.
Relax and enjoy your new season. We will be here.

Finding the right sports books and bookmakers to use for your arbitrage sports betting can be a daunting task with the internet now they are everywhere. The list of crooked bookmaking sites that have helped part people with their money and robbed them of their winnings grows longer every day. Being enlightened about this all sports bettors should do their due diligence before signing up with any bookmaker and be sure of their reputation as well as their guarantees on return of winnings. Almost all sports betting sites will have reviews so read them before making your decision on which one you go with.

Any one who bets on sports for profit will want to make sure they are getting the best sports betting odds but it doesn’t matter what you are betting on, the fact of the matter is that the house is going to be sure to come out on top. They don’t build those billion dollar casinos with winner’s money! The best odds are generally a little better and a sports bettor will likely see a return of eight to ten dollars for every hundred dollars he or she bets over a long term period.

With this movement the United States has taken a different approach to online gambling. Whereas other countries are working with these services to regulate them, the United States is attempting to prohibit them once and for all. By doing this they are missing out on the ability to tax internet gambling instead of getting rid of it entirely. Conservative estimates have shown that taxing these services could make the government in upwards of $6 billion a year.

The problem is, most people wouldn't know where to begin if they had to devise their own worthwhile Selection System, and those clever enough to be able to do so simply wouldn't have the time to do it (it is an arduous task). In fact, there are only two groups of people who do bother to spend the time and money to do so properly: (i) Bookies and (ii) sports tipsters. However, while you can be 100% sure that all Bookies operate a good Selection System (but they won't share it with you), you can be sure that 99% of so-called expert tipsters don't. The number of tipsters doing a proper job on the Internet can probably be counted on the fingers of just two hands.

Everything about horse betting

Yes, horse racing does have its problems and challenges, but it also has a lot going for it. It's the only sport offering legalized wagering in the majority of the United States and across most of the world. Why it's even legal to bet on horse racing in China where basic human rights are hard to come by.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horce racing bets[/url]
There are however many controversies surrounding the horse industry. During races, some jockeys use a crop to hit the horse in the rump to direct their effort and possibly run faster. Based on the most detailed statistical study of whipping ever carried out, it is actually counterproductive and slows the horse down causing them to become distracted and dangerously go off course.


Another significant aspect is the shortness of time between races. Most stakes graded horses of today run with 30 to 60 days off between races, but Triple Crown contenders must run 3 grueling races within the span of 35 days. Notably Sir Barton, the first Triple Crown winner, won the Preakness only 4 days after winning the Kentucky Derby while today's challengers do have 14 days between the two races.

[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]horse betting[/url]
Barbaro with Edgar Prado on board has won all 6 of his lifetime starts, 4 of his wins in 2006 and all at distances of a mile or more (his first 3 races were on the turf). Barbaro will be the odds on favorite for the Preakness. Gone are the double digit returns when we picked him for the Derby so most of us are left looking for horses to combine him with for the exacta, trifecta and superfecta wagers. Even though we want to see him win, at the probable scant return for a win, one must look to see if there's a horse in the field that can best him.

If you’re like me when you first saw the term “arbitrage sports betting” you just said, “huh?” You may even be reading this article because you were wondering. It is a relatively little method that can actually allow you to make money no matter who wins or loses. Kind of like heads I win, tails I win!

Another way of identifying the best sports betting odds is to examine the money lines on the various sports books online. The quickest and simplest way to understand how to compute the odds and comprehend how the money line bet works is to take into consideration the amount of money one would have to bet in order to win one hundred dollars. Normally this figure is shown as a negative and a positive with the negative number indicating what one must wager to win x amount of dollars and the positive showing what one would win.
[url=http://www.pulsebet.com]college football betting lines[/url]
The Paroli System, of all the famed sports betting systems, is thought to be opposite that of Martingale. Where the difference lies is on the scheme that with the Paroli System, you start with one wager and then up the wager when you win rather than with a loss. This system lets the profit run and cut short the losses, which makes it appealing due to the fact that you don’t have to have a lot of money to be able to use it effectively.

So, having established that using a good Selection System is an absolute must if you want to make money from sports betting, how does the average Bettor actually go about making his/her betting selections? My research shows me that, in the main (ignoring the extremes), there are generally two approaches taken:

- The more conservative group looks at the "Short Odds" calls, and plays safe by selecting only those matches where they themselves feel very confident about the outcome.

- The more adventurous group analyses the matches and odds on offer, and then makes selections based on their own gut feeling about how the matches will turn out, making sure that the odds match their concept of a "value" bet.

However, the banking Internet sector has exploded in the past five years.

With the popularity of the Internet and the power it gives people to take control of their lives, many traditional banks have created banking Internet web pages where customers could transfer money, set up bill payments recurring or otherwise, quickly check items that have cleared, and many other functions that can be accessed 24 hours per day 7 days a week.

This is the truest form of banking Internet simply because these banks only exist online.

When you utilize banking Internet options you are able to access your account, move money, pay bills, and any number of things from any computer with Internet access worldwide.
[url=http://pcinternetbanking.com]Internet Banking[/url]
Historically banks were institutions that held your money under lock and key.

The banks also benefit from a lesser need for staff due to the migration to internet banking where customers serve themselves.

These banks, and all other internet banking continue to grow in popularity because they are convenient, saving customers time and money.

Internet banking has revolutionalized banking with immediate global access to your bank accounts using a secure internet connection.

Let's start in the past and work forward - seems to be fairly logical. Starting just before the Matt Busby era at United my first selection is Jack Rowley. He joined United before Busby came along. Though not the whole story, naturally a striker is measured to some extent by his goal tally. Rowley managed to net 211 times in 424 games for United before leaving the club in 1955. His tally of 211 makes him one of only 3 players to break the 200 mark. manchester united [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]man utd vs[/url] Many famous sports personalities trace their roots to Manchester but there are too many to mention here. Aside from successfully hosting the Commonwealth Games in 2002, Manchester has tried to host the Olympic Games twice but were beaten by Atlanta in 1996 and Sydney in 2000. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]wayne rooney[/url] The current home games Manchester United shirt is red with a vertical, white stripe on the reverse. A patch with the words "The Red Devils" on a picture of the club's famous devil mascot is sewn onto to the bottom-left of the jersey. By contrast, the away shirt in use today is white with blue piping at the edges. It has red trim on the neck and the club emblem is on a white background on the left breast. The club emblem is pictured on a white background shield situated on the left breast. The emblem has been altered through the years but was originally designed based on the crest of the City of Manchester. One day Matt Busby was watching a local rugby team in Salford and was impressed by their flair and adventure on the pitch. When he discovered their nickname was "The Red Devils" he decided to attach it to his Manchester United team.

The game began well for Real Madrid, with strong energy in the players. Kaka was the first to make an attempt, but the goal was denied by Lyon goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Only five minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo took a pass from Gutis to the left and made a left-footed shot that ended up in Lyon’s net, setting the score 1-0 in the game and 1-1 in the aggregate. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]real madrid oficial[/url] At the end of this match, Kaká stated his satisfaction with scoring for Real again in a tough match after having been injured for some time. He hopes his team will keep fighting for theiruntil the end.
"It's a tremendous joy to score; I've been waiting for a game like this for a long time. I think I've given a clear answer on the field to all of those who have criticized me," said Kaká.

The Meringues beat a defensively weak Espanyol, knowing when to accelerate and when to pause in their game. Xabi Alonso, Barn and Guti made the team’s game plan easier with their great work in midfield. [url=http://www.pulsebet.com]benzema[/url] Besides lagging behind one point, Villa Real was then reduced to 10 men at minute 35 when Gonzalo Rodriguez was shown his second yellow card for getting Kaka in the ribs.

I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months ago and just couldn't get that quality out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched online everywhere I could think of for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I called them first and asked every question I could think of and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Dispatch was very fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Outstanding...

We know what it is like searching for quality content regarding a very specific subject.

What we have observed, more and more, is just doing a simple search does not always yield the most suitable information.

But you're not the only one, not by any means, because we think this is a prevalent experience for many people. That is what motivated us to put this article together for you about [url=http://nhommuachung.net/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url].

You can take this information and expand on it in your own researching efforts.

The relative complexities of women's and men's style

Both women and men can feel the pressures of maintaining their wardrobe up-to-date and in season, yet men's style usually seems a lot less difficult. Of program, for both sexes, outfits and fashion choices may be quite as complicated, and there are numerous'trendy'items which could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who can say they often see people walking on in 70s flares? On the other hand, men's style features a few staple things that can exist forever - which man is going to keep an eye out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Choose basic pieces, colors and fabrics and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why basic men's fashion is timeless

The basic man's suit has scarcely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous varieties for different occasions, nevertheless they are all common in their quest for a clever, sharp try to find the person. The good thing about classic style for men is that it is efficiently fashionable effectively neat. A well-groomed lady can almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the design of such apparel. A suit will undoubtedly be worn to work in several occupations because of the professional search it affords to the wearer, instilling a feeling of respect and trust. Equally a suit will undoubtedly be utilized to many social occasions, like a tuxedo to a black-tie affair. This incredible versatility that allows suits to be worn in nearly all functions is what gives it its eternal side and a permanent devote men's fashion.

Contemporary developments in classic men's style

Whilst basic men's styles will never be changed, it is interesting to remember that shifts in men's fashion trends have brought certain basic clothes back to fashion. The popularity of vintage clothing, particularly, has brought back a wide-variety of basic types into men's wardrobes, such as that of the dandy guy. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress yourself in a classic yet luxurious way, placing importance on appearance and working in a refined approach. This pattern for nearly'over-the-top'classic fashion for men is apparent from events such as the'Tweed Run', wherever men and women of all ages clothe themselves in obviously Victorian-style outfit and decide to try the roads on vintage bikes - with most of the men sporting remarkable mustaches! That is just one single of several examples of research presenting the resurgence of such variations. Additionally, there are numerous sites on the web which concentrate on gentlemanly style - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole sites such as'The Art of Manliness'dedicated to giving articles on classic men's fashion and grooming.

In conclusion, though specific facets of classic men's fashion could be brought back as new styles, the essential outfits that they are based on will never slip out of fashion.
