These late \u201cthe present day.\u201cThe ability t to share i information, n news, ys, findings, stories, photos, \u2018videos, is overwhelming at times, and can seem scary, but it\u2019s also got to be one of the most fantastic things in Dishpan Hands, in \u2018sink! COURTESY OF SHEILA QUINN The whole family is in on Dishpan Hands! Here's Sheila Q.with her son Angus, at last weekend\u2019s Shazamfest event in West Barnston.fan of gossip, but I really love storytelling - so I've had the chance to hear an awful lot of great tales, straight from the horse's mouth.5) You've been a super duper outlet for the observations on family, friends, and life experiences.Acquaintances often quip with a chuckle that they don\u2019t need to ask me how it\u2019s going, because they \u201calready know.\u201d Funny that.Would you like a martini with that tip of the iceberg you have there?I kid.6) Inversely, I'm fairly certain most of my family and friends are wary that I'll overshare details, but they don\u2019t complain or warn me.all that much.Thanks for being such interesting subjects.I'm beginning to doubt, or at least rethink, the concept of the \u201cordinary.\u201d 7) DH has allowed me to share with you the adventures of parenting, especially the challenges of raising a child with autism.The network of people I've been able to shine a light on in celebration of their everyday heroism has been a treasure.Celebrating people is important.Learning about people is important.8) Your mum should be your number one fan.The last five years has really been an important parenting segment of my life, and I'm my kids\u2019 number one fan too.Just excited enough to make them think before they act (for fear that I'll embarrass them), and just a notch or two under the crazy they think I am.My mother is the most sensible crazy person I've ever met.Thanks Mum, for putting up with my crazy being just a scosche more on the outside.Just a scosche.9) When an important romantic force came into my life, I didn\u2019t really share it.I just acted like it was natural that he was there.As a result, unseen to you most of the time, is the support of my partner in life, Stephane Bessette, who shared a secret dream of a media life that would compliment his business life, as a third generation entrepreneur in the plumbing business.He\u2019s behind the scenes of Dishpan Hands, on the air with DH Radio, and co-hosts and co-produces DHTV's Les Curieux, our YouTube channel.He\u2019s so smart and cool, it\u2019s ridiculous.The motivation of DH has taken us across the country with our family to film a web spot for Subaru, it\u2019s given us a personal view of many businesses, we are invited to countless events, and attend and encourage as many as we can.10) DH has been a fiery network in the world of all things Eastern Townships.Have you guys noticed what an amazing place we live in?So much is going on! So many people are working so hard to bring arts, entertainment, sports, education, work and just plain interesting things to us.Start paying attention to those show posters, those event invitations, those fundraisers, those tried and true predictable marks on the calendar.Get out there and support our event planners and business owners.Think about breaking the habit of pouring energy and resources into the \u201cbig\u201d businesses, and support our local people.Let\u2019s leave that list at ten.It would be normal to think that there is such a thing as small media.except that that\u2019s no longer the case.The ability to share information, news, findings, stories, photos, videos, is overwhelming at times, and can seem scary, but it\u2019s also got to be one of the most fantastic things in the present day.We can reach out and connect, learn and share.How: else would I have found out in about one minute of searching on the Net that the strange little creature I observed for some time hovering around the garden centre in Foster was a hummingbird moth?! It is the same thing for learning about the incredible forces in the world.There are lots of plans for the future of Dishpan Hands.The idea behind the name was always about getting a little dirty, getting a little clean, being an active participant in your own life, being responsible for cleaning up our messes and being proud of doing so.Dishpan Hands is really something you earn.Dishpan Hands is living local and global.Thank you to all of you readers out there, to my family and friends for ongoing support, and to Steve, Daniel and Sharon and team for hanging in there on the editorial end.DH Radio on CJMQ will be on hiatus for family vacation for this week, but next week, listen up on Wednesday night from 9:00 - 11:00 as usual for more!

WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2013 Dear Annie: I'm a very sad woman.I work and take care of my home and kids.My husband and I had trouble getting pregnant with the second child and after months of trying went to a fertility clinic.It was a difficult time, and I was not giving my husband all of the attention he needed.One day, he was at my friend\u2019s house, and a female acquaintance of hers was there.This woman was in the middle of her own divorce, and she and my husband began a conversation.She told him if he wasn\u2019t happy, he should divorce me and be happy for himself, instead of worrying about his wife and kids.My husband filed divorce papers while I was pregnant.Now the two of them are together, and he thinks I don\u2019t know.What kind of woman thinks this is OK to do?I have two small kids and love my husband with all my heart.I know I have things to work on.Where is the respect for women out there?\u2014 Broken Heart Dear Broken: While we agree that women shouldn\u2019t go after married men (and vice versa), you are blaming the woman when it is your husband who strayed.He wanted an excuse to get out of his responsibilities, and she was simply the match that lit the flame.Annie\u2019s Mailbox yourself and your children.Then ask your husband to go with you for counseling to see whether you can reconcile.But if he is determined to get out of the marriage, the counseling will help you develop coping strategies for the future.Your children need you to be strong and capable.Dear Annie: As a working mom, my schedule is tight.For several years, I have enjoyed a periodic lunch with a non-working friend where we catch up on our kids\u2019 activities and discuss books or movies.Twice during recent lunches, her cellphone has rung, and in mid-sentence, she has picked it up and commenced chatting with the caller.I could understand if it were an emergency call from her son\u2019s school, but I end up sitting there staring in silence at my lunch while she cheerfully talks about a trip to the beach.My husband thinks I should tell her that I find this disrespectful and rude, as well as insensitive to my time constraints.Instead, when she calls to set up a lunch date, I simply say that I'm too busy.I no longer think this \u201cfriendship\u201d is worth my time.Am I wrong to cut her .out of my life over this?\u2014 Disrespected anything other than an absentee luncheon date.You are angry and looking to punish her.Decide whether you want the friendship to end or whether you simply want her to put down the cellphone.There is nothing wrong with asking her to make your lunch a \u201cphone free\u201d zone so you can concentrate on each other.If she refuses to turn off her cellphone and answers a call in mid-con- versation, feel free to get up and leave, saying, \u201cObviously, you are busy.Perhaps I'll see you another time.\u201d Dear Annie: I am responding to \u201cOutcast Sister,\u201d who cares for her mom.It is terrible of her sisters to complain because she is getting paid for this.No one realizes how time consuming it is to watch a loved one.She should tell them to take a turn watching Mom, driving her to the doctor\u2019s, and doing the laundry, housekeeping and bathing, and see how much time and effort it takes.I am one of 10 kids who took care of Mom on weekends when the caregiver needed time off.Her sisters should be grateful that she is willing to take this on instead of hiring a paid stranger.God bless her.\u2014 Enraged Reader Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy
