43 The circumvention of Auntie. Sadie sat up with a start and rubbed her eyes. "'All right, Nanette,' she said sleepily. "'I'm awake.'" The trim, rosy cheeked maid smiled and swiftly left the room.  She had also performed other mysterious little offices noiselessly before going to the side of Sadie's bed. "'And sleeping like an innocent babe,' said the comely Nanette to herself, with a depth of affection in her tone. Then she bent down and called on Sadie's ear. "'Ten o'clock, Miss Sadie!' She had to repeat the whispered call several times before Sadie's eyelids fluttered and she stirred into life. The maid had vanished by the time the younger of the two sleeping beauties had removed the cobwebs from her eyes. The twin rosewood beds lay side by side, enveloped by the transparent silken hangings of a single canopy. The room was exquisitely done in pink, and everywhere were evidences that the two lucky mortals who slumbered therein were coddled and pampered to the limit of modern luxury. She's robe de nuis, as the fashion magazines put it, was a creation of laces and ribbons and mighty becoming. She had admitted this to herself as she surveyed her reflection in the tall oval mirror only five hours before. She admitted it again as she hopped out of bed and confronted herself in the same mirror. Then she turned and ran quickly to the side of Helen's bed. She bent down and kissed her cousin. Get up, Helen, Sadie urged, as the blue eyes reluctantly opened. Get up and dress, dear. We haven't much time. Much time for what? asked Helen, sitting up and going through the ceremony of rubbing her eyes. Much time before Auntie awakes. A rosé blush spread up from the ribbons at Sadie's throat to the roots of her fair hair. Helen's eyes were wide open now, and she looked at her cousin in frowning puzzlement. "'And Mr. Hogg is expected,' said Sadie, with swift inspiration. "'Whatever are you driving at?' asked Helen. "'Are you anxious to greet Mr. Hogg?' pouted Sadie. "'No,' was the vehement response. "'Then we must be out when he comes, and I have an important engagement at eleven.' Helen shot two little pink feet out of the covers and planked them down on the velvety rug. "'Whom have you an engagement with, Sadie Burton?' she asked, with breathless eagerness. "'I have an engagement to elope.'  Helen seemed actually paralyzed.  "'With Mr. Whitney Barnes, and you are going to assist me, you and Mr. Gladwin?' "'You cannot be serious, Sadie,' said the older cousin slowly. "'I am, though,' was the passionate rejoinder. "'Nanette and I packed my steamer-trunk after you and Auntie went to bed. "'Hurry now, Helen, dear, for we must be at the little church around the corner at eleven o'clock.  "'If you are poking fun at me, I will never forgive you.' "'I am not poking fun,' retorted Sadie, with the same ardour and almost in tears. "'It is all planned and arranged. Whitney promised to have everything ready at the church, including Traverse Gladwin. He said he couldn't wait another minute after eleven o'clock that this suspense would kill him, and he was so terribly in earnest about it that I believe him.' "'You goose,' exclaimed Helen, but now she was smiling, and there was a happy light in her eyes. "'Do you mean to tell me, Sadie Burton?' she added, "'That you fell in love with that young man in a few hours? You, the man-hater?' "'Yes,' admitted Sadie, her cheeks again on fire. "'And a man you don't know anything about, a perfect stranger?' "'This brought the fire into the timid Mrs. Eyes,' and she returned warmly. "'I know everything about him, Helen Burton, his whole family history, and he is only obeying orders in rushing the ceremony.' "'Obeying orders?' "'Yes. His father commanded him to marry me at once, and if he doesn't obey, he will be disinherited, and have to become a plumber or something to make a living. "'His father is Joshua Barnes, the Mustard King. You must have heard of him.' When I told Auntie who he was, she almost collapsed, and said something about Joshua Barnes buying and selling twenty hogs. I suppose she meant Jebes Hogg. "'Why, I never heard of such a thing, Sadie. Mr. Barnes could not have been serious. His father never saw you in his life.' "'Oh, but he telephoned his father all about it before he proposed to me. He was sure I would say yes. He is a wonderful mind-reader and believes in mysteries and fate. He said the minute he saw me, he knew I was his fate.' Once more the modest Sadie was in a state bordering on conflagration. Helen's eye sobered as she looked at and beyond Sadie. "'That was the very thing Travers Gladwin, I mean the real one, said to me,' she mused. "'He did?' "'Yes, and the way things have turned out it would seem.'  Sadie ran to her and put her arms about her. "'You are going to help us, aren't you, Helen dear?' said Sadie tremulously. I would tell Auntie about it, only she would want a tremendous wedding and all that. Whitney and I both hate big weddings. I am too timid and he is too nervous, says he might swallow the ring and choke to death. "'You will now, Helen darling?' There was a little sob in Sadie's voice and Helen surrendered. "'You are doing a very rash thing, Sadie,' Helen lectured, striving to draw her brows into an expression of impressive solemnity. "'My own terrible experience should have been a lesson to you, a warning. But it was Whitney Barnes who saved you, Helen,' cried Sadie exultantly. "'You owe it all to him, and that is why I began to love him.' "'Nonsense,' retorted Helen sharply. Mr. Barnes had nothing whatever to do with it. All he did was to get himself handcuffed and run about absurdly trying to be unlocked. "'But he was on watch and planned and planned,' Sadie defended her hero. "'Sadie Burton, I say that Whitney Barnes had nothing whatever to do with it. He was merely an instrument. Travers Gladwin did it all. I owe everything to him, everything. He would have gone to jail for me, sacrificed all his wonderful paintings. Oh, Sadie! It was wonderful of him!' It was Sadie who was thunderstruck now by the ardor in her cousin's voice. Her amazement soon gave way to a beaming smile, and she mumbled as she turned to her dressing table. "'I do believe she is in love with him,' end of Chapter 43, recording by Roger Maline. Chapter 44 of Officer 666. This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Recording by Roger Maline. Officer 666 by Barton W. Curry and Augustine McHugh. Chapter 44 Miss Featherington's Shattered Dream Marietta Featherington couldn't seem to concentrate her mind upon that 13th Chapter of Lily the Lovely Laundress. The handsome rat-catcher had just beaten the aristocratic villain to a pulp, and would have finished the job neatly and thoroughly, had not Lily raised her lovely fair hand and cried with the imperiousness of an empress. Pause, Giovanni! Pause! He may have a mother!' Ordinarily Miss Featherington would have raced through the pages hungrily, avidly. Not so on this fair November afternoon. Whether it was the mince pie and melted cheese she had partaken of a bare hour before, or whether it was the even more so than usual grumpy mood of her employer, Joshua Barnes, she could not tell. Perhaps it was neither. She refused to analyze it. Whatever the cause, she felt heavy and wistful and sad. From time to time the emotional Miss Featherington allowed Whitney Barnes to flip through the corridors of her imagination. He had walked heavily through her dreams the night before. His strange words of yesterday had strangely moved her. Desperately she had striven to solve the mystery. Were they words of love? If so, how would old Grim Barnes accept the declaration from his son's lips that he loved the humble though, yes, though beautiful stenographer lady of the Barnes Mustard Company Limited? Miss Featherington had half expected to walk into Joshua Barnes's presence that morning and meet with a torrent of abuse. She had rehearsed a cold and haughty retort.  Alas, the Prince had not spoken. Mary had appounded out forty-two letters containing references to as many different kinds of assorted and selected Mustard before she succeeded in dismissing the air to the Mustard Millions from her romantic thoughts and creating a new hero in his stead. The new hero some way fell down, and she picked up Lily the lovely Laundress. But even the lovely Lily failed to thrill, and she laid the book aside. Along Psy was escaping from the depressed maiden's bosom when the door of the anti-room opened. And who should enter but Whitney Barnes? Marietta swallowed her Psy and clasped her hand over her palpitating heart. The young man was not alone, however, and he did not dain Miss Featherington a glance as he held the door open and cried, Come in, children! The children were none other than Helen and Sadie and Travers Gladwin. Nor did they dain Miss Featherington a glance as they assembled in a little group, talking in hushed tones and punctuating their talk with suppressed laughter. By the time Whitney Barnes did turn to Marietta, that young lady's nose was elevated to an excruciating angle, so much so that she was unable to fulfill her desire to sniff. There was cold auteur in her stare as she met the smile of Whitney Barnes and replied to his query, Yes, Mr. Barnes, your father is in and alone. Thank you, Miss Featherington, cried the young man gaily, and an instant later the little party of four had vanished behind a mahogany portal. Joshua Barnes was bent over his desk writing as the door opened noiselessly and the four young people entered. When he looked up, his son, Travers Gladwin and Helen, were lined up beside his chair. The two young men smiling sheepishly, and the girls blushing crimson and looking down at the floor. Hello, Pater, opened Whitney Barnes. You remember Travers Gladwin. This is Mrs. Gladwin, a bride of sixty-seven minutes. Old Grim Barnes was on his feet in an instant, with a gallant bow to Helen and a hearty handshake for the bridegroom. For a second or two he failed to describe Sadie, who, as per rehearsal, was hidden behind the two young men. As, with a look of surprise, he spied her, Helen drew Sadie to her and managed to stammer. And this is my cousin Sadie, Mr. Barnes.  How do you do, Miss, uh… Joshua Barnes was feasting his eyes on Sadie's shy beauty and smiling benignly. I didn't catch the name, he added, turning to Helen. I didn't catch the name, he added, turning to Helen. She began when Whitney Barnes came to her rescue. Barnes, Pater, Mrs. Sadie, that is, Mrs. Whitney Barnes, a bride of seventy-seven minutes. Whitney Barnes beamed upon his father and put his arm about the old gentleman's shoulders to support him. How do you like my choice, Dad? Isn't she a darling? Why don't you ask to kiss the bride? Joshua Barnes breathed with difficulty for a moment and his eyes blinked. Slowly he looked for confirmation in the faces of the newlywed Gladwins, and when they both nodded and smiled he returned his glance to Sadie, who had turned very pale and was beginning to tremble.  He kissed her ten times in succession and then let her down in his chair and padded her shoulder. Joshua Barnes was so happy that tears glistened in his eyes. He continued to look at Sadie for a long moment before he turned to his son and gulped. Whitney Barnes, you scoundrel, have you been keeping this from me? Why, no, Dad, came the laughing answer.  For the first time in my life I made a mistake, Whitney Barnes, his father checked him, and you both have my blessing a thousand fold, provided you will take me in as a border. Don, exclaimed Whitney Barnes, the end.

I'm glad that you're here. Welcome.  Always happy to see you here. So today We're going to cover the topic of emetaphobia Emetaphobia is a specific phobia that focuses on the fear of vomiting being sick to your stomach being nauseous That might be you or seeing somebody else being around other people that are having that problem it is a big problem for a fairly large portion of our community and in my opinion in many cases it is the underlying driver behind panic disorder and agoraphobia for some of you now I know before we get started on the discussion that even the thought that you might we might talk about this You might be afraid to listen to the rest of this podcast episode because you're afraid of being triggered But I promise it's not super graphic. We try to be really careful with that And it's a feel-good story It's a recovery story And I think if you're looking for some hope and the fact that you can get better Even though you're convinced that emetaphobia is the worst thing in the world This episode can help you so try to hang in there if possible Before we get on because I was joined by Holly in this one. Holly came back on the podcast She's been on the podcast many times. She's Holly and I did the Claire week series together a couple years ago She's one of the admins in my Facebook group She was gracious enough to come on and talk about her experience with emetaphobia because she was emetaphobic As far back as she could remember even as a kid, but she's not anymore. That's why I say this is a feel-good story So it's a great discussion. Holly really talks about sort of the mental shift that help her get around it We kind of weave the exposure thing into it. So it's a good conversation But before we get into the interview, I just need to remind you that the anxious truth is more than just this podcast episode There are three really good books on anxiety and anxiety recovery that I've written that have helped thousands of people You can find those on my website at the anxious truth comm there right there My morning podcast and newsletter, which is called the anxious morning.

Let's go All right, we're back. Hey house. What up? Good to see you. Hey. Yeah. Nice to see you, too It's been a minute or so since you're on the podcast I think it's literally been a couple of years or something. I think so too the last time I think we did was your the benzo which are all things which was great It was a really good episode. Yeah, I'll link that one if you go to the anxious truth that comes to 11 I'll link the episode that Holly and I did where you were gracious enough to talk about your benzodiazepine experience But today we're gonna talk about a metaphobia because as it turns out you live that too Yes, I was busy in my whole anxiety career But I will say that for me the metaphobia Was probably the biggest thing and it was very much at the under a sort of a sort of it was underneath everything as well You know, it's yeah, and it was the thing that I can remember having as long as I have a memory It was like from childhood as well. So yeah, it was it was always So there's always some You know, there's really no definitive answers to what causes a metaphobia a lot of people will a lot of experts say well Yeah, it was a you know, a really negative experience with vomiting at some point for those of you You know what there's going to be an intro so I'm not going to explain it doesn't matter. Uh, yeah, but um Can you remember what is there was there a specific thing just out of curiosity? It ultimately didn't matter In the way you get over it, but can you remember a specific incident that kind of triggered it?  I just remember And I think if you can remember certain things from being a very young child they're probably things that have stuck with you so I remember being at like a A friend's birthday party when we were like six or something and like A girl was like sick at the table So all over the table and and it was just like, you know Shocking and and all that just I remember like hearing the sort of tone of the adults.   So I can remember like bits like that and I was always very scared of it, you know Happening and stuff and then yeah and and I mean do you want me to like I had my sort of big experience with it was when I was 10 or 11 11 And my parents had a boat. Yeah, my parents bought a sailing yacht and took a sailing on the North Sea The bit between England and Norway Um, a really rough sea and we were on the boat and there was a one particular trip where it was 14 hours We'd left on the last tide couldn't get back in and we we had a false weather report We thought it was going to be flat and calm like it was the day before and it was like, you know You look in sort of at the top of the mast for the next wave Come in it was horrendously scary and my parents were very new there were novices to it, you know and So they were kind of, you know, there was a lot of Like genuine anxiety for a very good reason on board. It was just me my sister and my parents and my mum was So seasick like so seasick and I remember I was clipped on Like for safety for my life I was clipped on to the cockpit with my life jacket on and it was freezing man I had like big jumpers and coats and stuff And my mum was just sitting next to me like repeatedly throwing up, you know, and I was already kind of I didn't know the word and that's a big bit, you know I was already very sort of frightened of that and I knew I had 14 hours of this boat trip and there was nothing I could do about it And I remember my mum later admitted to us that she said She was so seasick that she'd actually wished that the boat would just sink and we would drown because then it would be over like Such a horrific sort of so she was going through hell, you know, she was because seasickness can be kind of awful, you know I'm sure. Yeah, and terrified at the same time. It's genuinely dangerous Because you were in a genuinely terrifying situation So that was my, you know, and that was the sort of trigger. It was almost like a ptsd thing for my whole Kind of disorder and everything. Sorry. It feels like a bit of a therapy session No, no, no That makes sense though because a lot of people, you know, there's that whole I've got to find out what triggered it And that's very very common. There was some really negative association with being nauseous or vomiting And yeah, a lot of people would probably call that even a traumatic experience Yes, you know, the whole family almost dies in a rough sea and your mother is constantly sick. So I get it Why wouldn't you end up? Surrounded by fear from my parents, you know a very sort of age where you think your parents know what they're doing and you know Like realizing like they don't know what they're doing. Dad has no idea Yeah, so I mean you could see where that would make sense. You could glue that that fear of vomiting or vomiting to that Terrible situation. It makes perfect sense. So Yeah, we talked about a metaphobe and you and I have talked about this Holly's one of the admins in my facebook group and we've been friends for years now So we talked about the a metaphobia thing and I remember at one point And if there's anything you ever want me to edit out of this, just tell me and I'll do that But um, you know, we were talking about a metaphobe with other people in the group and and I think you got a little angry with me With like no way. It's not exposure. I can't I would have freaked out if anybody had ever told me to do exposure But that's not the way you do it and and I know I know you felt a little bit Dismissed by me and we had a good conversation about it. We worked it out But it started all of this which is really good. There was so much good came out of that conversation. Yeah, I just For me if if I had, you know Rocked up in the group with the a metaphobia and was told that the only way to get over the Metaphobia was to sit and watch videos of people throwing up, you know Even incrementally or gradually I would have just said like well clearly you have no idea because that's just not possible like I would have just run a mile like there's no way I would have Put myself into that situation, you know, I just but it's fine. I'll just carry on avoiding it and you know Staying in for three months in the winter when there's a sickness bug going around. That's fine I'll just see that instead, you know, I think so many people watching and listening right now Can actually a hundred percent relate to what you're saying because I say this all the time Metaphobes are the hardest that I mean hard. I'm not picking on you guys. I love you guys But the most difficult not to crack is the a metaphobia who says no, then I'll just live like this the rest of my life That's fine But as it turns out as we go through this conversation that you guys will see like sit tight stick with us here Because in the end we wound up in the same place. Yeah Just with some different paths So doing exposures and watching people vomit and listening to the sounds and the spells and all of those things Which are typical when you treat a metaphobia therapy was not what you did What what was it that started to change this from this is the worst thing that could possibly happen to a human being And I must never allow it And I want to get back to the idea when you said that was sort of the underlying driver Often it is very important. Yeah, but what was the change? What started to change for you? It was super gradual and to be honest.  Yeah, so I decided finally like god, you know I hadn't really read that much up on it. I just I thought that had been you know me So I was doing the work on the I discovered, you know, this whole thing about accepting and surrendering and oh And I stopped taking the valium. So I you know changed started changing my reaction to To the panic into the anxiety and so in doing that a few things sort of happened One was that I think I got really good at recognizing What was anxiety at sort of being able to see Anxiety attach itself to various symptoms or to various sensations or even thoughts because I would be like Well, yeah, well, I'll I'll get back to that one in a second. So there was that so by So by and by facing the fear of like, you know a panic attack being right there and practicing sort of, you know Like looking at it and and being okay with it and not trying to just run away from it It It enabled me to kind of Sounds really stupid to say but it enabled me to to look at anxiety and and recognize it, you know and so when I started Really thinking about What it so and then there's another thing is that I'm married to a sailor right who Goes sailing all the time Deals with people being seasick and you know, like all my worst fears, you know being trapped on a boat being seasick Is Yeah, sure and look who you married crazy You couldn't write that stuff like yeah and so And and another thing you need to know about What I was like is that I kept it very secretive. I was very secretive about my it was like if I Talked about it. It was like admitting it. It was like, I don't know. I thought it gave it More power by saying I'm really scared, you know So I would you know gradually through our relationship. I would Hear map that's my husband talking about someone that got seasick on the boat or you know, like or just even like regular stuff Like being hungover or whatever, you know And people being sick and and I would hear and I would be like totally triggered and sitting there in a sort of, you know Silent panic attack But like my secretiveness of it was almost Was more powerful than my like please stop talking about this of it And so I would kind of have to sit through kind of listen into to conversations about this and when you're with someone for like, you know, a long time Eventually I started to just you know play with saying like I'm actually like a bit Not great at this, you know Like how can you deal with being seasick?    He's just like I just carry on as normal.  I know it was Unfathomable to me that he could be like that that this could happen to him The worst thing in the world could happen to him and he would carry on drinking water and carry on eating and just like Yeah, it was unbelievable. I just couldn't believe it. So I thought he naturally I just thought he was crazy And so But as the time goes on and and then when I started working on my my panic panic stuff and When I started, you know And then also looking at that like you have to send your brain a message that you're okay And you act like you're okay even when you're having a massive panic attack because you sort of send I was like, it's kind of similar to what Matt says because he would say that the people that would suffer really badly were the people that were scared And it was fear.  They would just you know give up And and he said it's and it was because they were so Like scared. It was just like a it was a mental thing. He says it's not a physical thing It's the physical thing that they've been sick and like yeah, it's super unpleasant. We all agree on that Yeah, but he's like it's not, you know, and people and so just mind my mind that people would go on boat trips knowing there's a chance they're going to get sea sick or you know, like And so I started taking all this in and starting just it was like a light on the horizon Burning just saying like maybe it's Look, it's not as bad as you think it is and maybe it's not Maybe that's not crazy.  And it's just started to dawn on me that maybe it was me and that it was I was being Super rational about it. And so from the from the work I was doing with my Panic disorder stuff with the with the panic attacks I faced in the fear and like I said being able to recognize it I used to allow myself to like think I didn't watch a video. I didn't do anything like that But I would think and I'd just be like What is it? That is so terrible. Why is it the worst thing in the world? Like what is it? Is it Being sick is it seeing someone else like what is it and when I really thought about it It's not It wasn't the being sick thing like not pleasant, of course It was the I started to recognize that even thinking about it would send me like into this.   Like, oh, you know, worth it. Totally worth it So it can't it can't be like that for everyone that feeling of like, oh my god and the heart's racing and just like the I always describe it as like a desperation Like if it makes you feel desperately like you have to avoid this and stop it at all costs That's like a clue that it's yeah, it's anxiety, you know And then that came from the other work that you were doing the panic attack work. Yeah, you should Yeah, I know it feels like and I know what that I know what adrenaline feels like in my blood, you know, like It was like and all I had to do was think of it and you and it was and it's going, you know Yeah, and it just it made me realize that it wasn't the mechanics of throwing up or do you know what I mean? Like yeah, yeah was the anxiety and I was already facing the anxiety through the the panic attack stuff. I'm like I'm already facing that I've faced it. I've sat with it I've I've let I woke up in the middle of the night and let a panic attack just Come at me full force. I've already faced like the worst thing that there is Yeah, so I realized that It it wasn't being sick that I was afraid of it was the fear that had attached itself to it And that may be it actually and I think it's important to recognize in this situation I'm not going to put any words in your mind to correct me anytime, but If what I hear when you tell that story is you would have been unwilling and I get that like no way I'm not watching videos. I'm not listening to the sound of people But you because of the shame around it. You didn't want to say anything about it You actually listen to stories you listen to people talk about it You didn't want to do that exposure, but you were exposed to it And over time that that did start to change like all right. Wait a minute here I don't like this those were terrible experiences that I had with them. I don't want to repeat that again Of course, I don't want to be sick But maybe it's not the worst thing that could possibly happen to a human being in recorded history That starts to seep in a little bit Yeah And in the end that really is the way a metaphobia begins to receive like that realization they're like, okay Nobody wants this to happen But I have irrationally turned it into this horrific It must never possibly happen. I can't handle this. I can't handle it. So What what was the the other mechanics of it at this point? Maybe you get sick. Maybe you don't you get pregnant You have a baby.  So, you know, how old is misty now? She's five six years old. Yeah. Yeah, okay.  I'm one of those you get a metaphor I think one of the only things I ever read about a metaphobia is that obviously there's different Some people maybe are sick all the time and still have a metaphobia and I don't know about that but in my own personal experience, I Think I was last sick when I was 14 years old. Yeah, it just doesn't happen Yeah, yeah, but I've been in situations where you know, I had kidney stones and I was like retching and you know, I've been And I've had anxiety that's got so high that I've ended up retching where I'm like, oh my god This is it.  I know I won't go insane. That isn't my fear. My fear is that this will make me vomit And it keeps so many people stuck and they feel like they can never get better But in the end so oh well, you don't have to work on panic attacks. You have to work on your metaphobia Which I'm guessing that are all worked together as everything got better at the same time for you. I'm guessing or Yeah, well, I kind of got better from the the panic attacks and that stuff Not first but like I did and then do you remember when I got pregnant and I had like the mother of all setbacks Yes, really like there was two sit things but one of the things was just like My mom had very bad morning sickness and so did my sister and I was just like, uh, I'm not I thought I was like Huberous like you can't do this is insane.  And yes, if you're a metaphobic and pregnant, oh boy I remember when you had Yeah, but you know that secrecy thing and that shame thing that you were talking about No, we were already friends at that point and I remember you reaching out and like I don't know the wheels fell off Like I was doing so great. I'm stuck in the house again. You never once mentioned that never Like and I get that because there was that I don't I can't say that part. I'm having panic attacks again Oh, but the part you left out in those conversations was I'm terrified that I might Experience morning sickness and get sick. Yeah So so many people suffer from that they don't want to say that but it is the driver It's the bedrock driver of all of the panic that if I panic I might get sick And so I can't allow panic to happen and therefore it's a terrible cycle. It keeps going So What did it look like then in the end?  Misty is born Like Matt is still out there getting sick and watching people grow up all the time What's what's different now like mechanically like nuts and bolts. What's different in your life now?  No, I just don't care at all. No, I mean, I don't even I don't get triggered It took a long time for that I would still get that first fear like I think even in a claire weeks episode that we did where that came up Like something about a metaphor came up and it first fear triggered me and I was like, you know I could feel it like, you know rushing through my veins and I and although I was like, I'm not scared of this.   I'll just bring me the boldest in case, you know, like it's actually it isn't it just isn't Anywhere near that thing that I held it on this like, you know horrific pedestal to me like Probably the most important part of this conversation. I think right there when you just said it's not that thing Because again the the metaphobic community is very adamant. It's like nope. Nope. You don't understand It is the worst thing that could possibly happen to you anything And your experience of the way you process that tremendous work Like I have tremendous admiration for the fact that you did that Without really like you didn't have a therapist, you know, many of that stuff. It's very helpful. But In the end that mechanism still worked the same way like changing your relationship like, oh, wait I guess this is probably Russia. I think that's what I if mac can handle it They're all those people can handle it. I can probably handle this too. Yeah It was it was the the realization that maybe it's not everyone else just being like so weirdly blasé about it But that it was me that was being super rational So instead of trying to make them understand how awful it was for me because I was never going to do that Like because I was secret right sure sure So instead of trying to be like, no, you don't understand. This is the worst thing I just feel okay And then eventually it was like let me try and come to where they actually I'd rather be where they are Can I think about it like they think about it?  You know because it could be like what could be it might be like it's the shame of it, which it was a big part of it as well, you know But when you think about like but if you could throw up in secret, is that okay? And it's like, well, no, of course not. It's still not okay. So okay. So what is it? You know, like so I would just take myself through these sort of like mind exercises not even purposefully but just kind of like Is that you know And I sort of came to this conclusion of just like it's because of And as soon as I would think about what it you know, think about that situation I would feel the adrenaline. I would feel that desperation I would feel the sort of like heart racing and I've got wait a minute. That's anxiety. That's not being sick That's anxiety. Yeah, that's a tremendous work tremendous in the end You know, it's almost purely cognitive in a metaphobia It kind of is because even if you do go down the route of watching videos and listening to sounds and there are smells And there are even jelly beans and all kinds of therapeutic tools. Yeah, it sounds horrible I would agree. It sounds very unpleasant But you know, even when you do that a metaphobia is difficult because ethically you can't and you can't make somebody bomb it to Expose people will always say I can't recover because I can't expose myself to that that like you kind of panic attack Which is true But holly is a great illustration of how that mechanism works Even without the direct experience of oh, I got sick now some of the metaphobes actually do overcome it because they do get sick Yes, I've heard they don't have they don't have a choice like I got you know I got pregnant and I was sick every morning for three weeks and lives and wasn't a metaphobic anymore because I Yeah, yeah, and discovered which also would sound terrifying, you know Because you think so the only way I can get over this is to be sick so many times that I don't care anymore Like I mean that's just that would seem no that's run a mile stuff So it's horrible, right exactly and it must be a terribly unpleasant experience. I can always acknowledge that but it's amazing how that works Yeah, I have like seriously fully not being sickative I do not have a metaphobia anymore and I had it hardcore Very long time and I don't anymore and I haven't thrown up and I haven't like I haven't You know, I've been in situations where other people are sick, but I was always I was that was happening to me before as well, you know, like it's not like I've never seen someone throw up before So it just it all changed because of I mean mostly because of the the panic work that I did about Learning to let the anxiety come and let it sort of you know and not fight it That was such a major part because it let me Look at it and it you know, it's like the Wizard of Oz thing, you know, it's Yeah, seems like it's big scary thing and you pull the curtain.  That's that anxiety thing again, isn't it? You know, I mean it worked for lots of things, you know, like but the metaphobia was the massive thing But I just started being able to apply it to so many things in my life Yeah, that's great. Yeah, I so appreciate you sharing this and I'm sure people watching will appreciate it as well And I'm sure many of you will think well, that's great at work for her, but it can't possibly work for me This is you know, and we always have to go.  You don't have to get better You can choose just trying not to be sick for the rest of like that. So that would be okay You know, but it is possible people do recover from a metaphobia.  It's it's the the anxiety that has attached to her The reaction to it and I think I'll only add one more thing before we wrap up.  So I appreciate you I'll say thank you for talking about this openly. I know that it was a sore spot for you for a long time And I appreciate what you are now with it. So Thanks. Yeah, it was a big sore spot on it House, thank you so much. I appreciate it. We'll do it again sometime one day We'll finish our claire week series one day. Yeah, we should see that. Yeah. Misty will be graduating from college. We're like, hey, let's go back to that So for those of you who are in the facebook group holly is there in the facebook group if you want to ask questions I'm sure you could you know show jump in and ask them, which is totally fine Uh, if you're I don't know if you're watching this on youtube or whatever you want to ask questions I can always try to pass them on whatever it is, but I'll be back in a couple minutes I'll wrap it up. I'm going to give you some notes and stuff and that's it. Thanks house Cool. Thank you Okay, we are back in the studio, but this time it really was a change. How about that? That never happens Anyway, thank you so much for holly to holly for coming on and sharing her story Um, especially knowing how secretive she was about it and sort of felt a little shameful about it I think there was a big deal and I really appreciate that you came on to try to offer a little bit of hope To somebody who might be listening and if you are listening and you are dealing with a metaphobia Hopefully holly story give you a little bit of hope and a little bit of encouragement that you can actually get Better. So that's the takeaway today. Yeah, I know it sounds like the worst thing in the world, but I promise it is not So I am going to link on the show notes for this episode, which you'll find at the anxious truth.com slash 211 211 So it's the anxious truth.com slash 211 you're watching on youtube It's right below you on the screen there go there and I will have a couple of useful A metaphobia references all the show notes are here And hopefully there will be things that you might find helpful on top of just the podcast episode So that is it we are wrapping up episode 211 of the anxious truth and you know, it's over because music as always Afterglow by ben drake is the music that you hear at the beginning of the end of every one of these podcast episodes You can find ben in his music at ben drake music.com if you are so inclined you go check him out Tell him I said hello.

Statistics and Excel. Poisson distribution roller coaster line example. Get ready, taking a deep breath, holding it in for 10 seconds, getting ready for a smooth soothing Excel. Here we are in Excel. If you don't have access to this workbook, that's okay because we'll basically build this from a blank worksheet, but if you do have access, three tabs down below. Example, practice blank. Example, in essence, answer key. Practice tab, having pre-formatted cells so you can get right to the heart of the practice problem. Blank tab, basically a blank worksheet except for this image on it, but you don't really need that to move forward so that we can practice formatting the cells within Excel as we work through the practice problem. Let's go to the example tab to get an idea of where we will be going. Working with the Poisson distribution, which often deals with line waiting situations as it will be with our example here, line waiting situations for a roller coaster. We're actually first


This abortion reaction was celebrated World Down Syndrome Day on Monday, March 21st, like we do everywhere. Persons with Down Syndrome. Their parents, friends, and other station, supporting this unique, but common syndrome, came out to create awareness about the most common mutation known to mankind. Down Syndrome is a condition in which a baby is born with an extra chromosome, number 21. The extra chromosome is associated with delays in the child's mental and physical development, as well as an increased risk of health problems. The physical features and medical problems linked to Down Syndrome can vary widely from child to child. While some kids need a lot of medical attention, others need healthy lives. Down Syndrome, also called time of day syndrome, happens by chance. It can't be prevented, and it isn't caused by everything a parent did or didn't do. Unfortunately, health problems can be managed well, especially when found early, and many resources are available to help kids and their families. In most cases of Down Syndrome, the child gets an extra chromosome 21 from a total of 47 chromosomes, instead of the regular 46. Really, the extra chromosome 21 attaches to another chromosome. This extra genetic material causes the physical features and developmental delays in people with Down Syndrome. One in every 800 births is a child with Down Syndrome. That is how common it is. Last time I heard over 5.6 million people in the world live with Down Syndrome. While people living with Down Syndrome have different challenges, they can live a world meaningful life with their supported and loved. However, in the pursuit to learn more about this syndrome, it was discovered that unborn babies who have Down Syndrome have a ticker back neck than others who do not. Thus, you can tell whether or not the baby will be born with this ability or not. People on the medical profession began to advise mothers on the option of aborting these babies. The only result is that in some countries in the world, they have recorded close to 100 percent abortion of these babies. Accordingly, most of babies with autism are not aborted because autism cannot be detected in the womb. If it can, will that mean we will begin to give mothers the option to? One thing when we say abortion is not the option. To celebrate this down syndrome day, the Government of West Virginia in the United States signed a law that grants abortion of babies with Down Syndrome.  Why do we make ourselves God-over-luck? Why having a child with Down Syndrome may be challenging? Having a child is challenging and that does not stop from procreating. So, is aborting babies with Down Syndrome the option? Please, share your thoughts. I have loads, but I'll let the gents speak first. Well, I just have one question. Who decides if a child should be aborted or not? I mean, if a mother wants to keep her child, who gives them the doctors or the government the right? So, it's not as simple as that. It really depends where you are to begin with, right? Are you in Nigeria, are you in the UK, are you in the US? Because each country has its own methodology for this, right? What do you have to do about that, Iceland? Iceland. What do you have to do about Iceland? Yes, let's talk about Denmark and Iceland. The fact that they basically eradicate it through genetic engineering, being able to identify it very early in the pregnancy, and a national campaign to screen it out. So, they purposefully went to screen it out. So, now it's very rare for you to see someone in Down Syndrome. You won't see any child with Down Syndrome. You'll see mostly adults with Down Syndrome now because they weren't screened out in time. It wasn't developed then. So, how I know about this, there was a BBC documentary about five, six years ago that was brilliant, and it kind of looked at that. There was a comedian that she did the documentary, and she kind of went into detail with it. It was really, really good. So, there's countries like that. You have less stricter countries also like the UK. So, if I tell you about my experience, when I was going for my tests while pregnant, I'm knowing my age. Once you're 35, you're classified as a geriatric mother or geriatric pregnancy, which I find hilarious. But they really, really want you to do the normally test, which is usually done around the 20-week mark. And so, every time I would come in, they would be asking me to do the anomaly test, and I would tell them, I don't want to do the anomaly test, and I'll have to keep repeating myself because they'll say, but you know with your age, you're at risk for issues with the fetus, and I understand that. But we're doing the scans. We're doing our blood work and the urine work and stuff.  But at some point, it became really overwhelming and extremely irritating, and I had to tell them to put in my file, in my note, not to ask me again. And I had to be extremely firm about that because how they're taught is that, if you're a certain age, that's a check mark. Then if I had done the anomaly test and they did find Down syndrome, then the next conversation is pushing you to terminate. That is how it works.   And it's unfortunate. Now, whilst I believe it's a woman's right to choose, at the end of the day, even though I am not for abortion, but I do believe that it's a woman's right to choose, you need to be able to make that decision with rounded information, with the truth, not with just one sign. You know, there needs to be a more of a conversation. You know, I know I'm dominating this, guys. No, no, take the floor. Take the floor. Take the floor. And I hold the medical community responsible for this. You know, people that educate doctors, nurses, I hold them responsible. People that create the literature, I hold them responsible.  There's no going deep. And even you don't even need to go how deep. They just go a little deep. You don't have to spend the whole year studying about Down syndrome. It's basic. What can they do? What are the issues they have? Actually, with the technology we have, when a medical student is studying, YouTube is there. Put links to videos to show how people live, the actual lived experience of parents, of the people with Down syndrome themselves. Because that will tell you in real life what is going on. The fact that my child had a heart surgery, that's an issue. But that my child is starting to read, is athletic, is intelligent, is lovely. That's another story. So the conversation needs to diversify. And I hold the medical community responsible, to be honest. Well, Edumai, I'm going to ask you something. You know, if you look at the issue of dyscyclicia anemia or something, I remember one time I was, they said that when the woman is pregnant and they discover that the baby is going to be a syclar, they're also going to terminate it. So how can you correlate both? I'm not going to stand for any side. Because like you said, everybody should decide but you should make informed decisions. Not that you'll be looking at it from one side.  While some other women say, no, I can't deal with this. So it's like, let it be that they have the old information on their hand and make the decision. So what do you think about this issue? Are you good? Because in Nigerian situation, we have issue of religion and cultural belief to deal with. You know, religiously speaking, we don't support abortion. It's called maybe cultural. So how do you manage the situation? How do we reconcile both situations? Thank you, Liza. Absolutely brilliant question. Listen to everything that Tenia said. My seven mistakes have been to the UK and at every last one, they're asking me, oh, I'm interpreting the team, I don't see them as pregnant. And I'm like, how do I do that? His guy is six. He's a beautiful, lovely boy. I don't need all of my heart. How is that possible? Remember, I said in my right talk that they don't act like children with autism. I've had intense conversations with medical doctors in the UK on this matter. And I kept asking them, okay, fine. People with autism, why don't you have autism? Because they can't detect it in the room. They can't detect it in the pictures when they're still developing. Okay, so let me ask you a question then. If you can discover autism while the children are still pregnant, are you going to tell us to start aborting your babies too? I can say probably. Probably. Start aborting your children. Yep. I really believe that. So if every baby goes out and thinks that you're going to abort the baby, is that what you're telling me? So where's the stop button basically? If you start, if you start, nothing will be out of choice. To what extent? Genetic modification. Genetic engineering. Because it's supposed to be a online source. It's supposed to be with us. It's supposed to be the most common mutation more in every 800 babies. Imagine. So it's very common. It's supposed to be 5.6 million of them. Are you going to a clinic and you're going to be treated about 100% more because they find the cure. Because they're... I don't know. Bunting job. Just literally. I think for the sake of sanity and progressive world, all stakeholders, when I mean stakeholders, talking of scientists, medical personnel, medical scientists and the government should come together and see how they can support people that have these, mothers that have these challenges at birth and then after birth, how they can support these babies to grow to become useful persons in the world. So it feeds right into my segment exactly what I was talking about as well. You know, it's about perception. So if people were perceiving it as more positive light, we would have less issues with aborting children with abnormal mass. It becomes the norm, basically.  Exactly. Exactly. So it feeds.  I also hold religious institutions accountable with this. Because, yes, it's right to tell people, abortion should not be the option, in my instances where we would agree maybe abortion should be considered. But generally, abortion is not the option. But yet, in your churches, you're saying that this child is an abomination. You're saying that the child should fast. You're saying that the mother should didn't do this, that maybe she slept with the devil during her pregnancy or something. So there's all this madness that's going on. All the pastors selling, I told you recently, I told someone recently, or something that happened to me in January, where a pastor told me he could eradicate the Down syndrome from my daughter. Whoa. And I said to him, and the funny thing, he didn't say it's out of spite or wickedness. He generally was trying to be nice. And I said to him, why would I remove my blessing? And he had no response from me. I said, why would I remove my blessing? So, who gives them the right to say something like that? Yes, exactly. Just because your worship was set in quarters. It was religious without a proper understanding. All right. Definitely we will keep having this conversation. We will keep advocating. Up next is Abdo. Stay with us.


Appalachian Wireless now has new forward pay pricing, where you can pay up front and get the data and features you desire. Five gigabytes of data, just $39.99. Unlimited, just $79.99. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Officials with the Pikeville Independent School Board, administrators of Pikeville High School, and officials with the Pikeville Police Department held an open informational meeting tonight, here at Pikeville High School, to talk about security issues that they are addressing and to answer any questions or concerns that parents may have. Some of the concerns tonight on our end of it was, is this school board going to be for arming teachers? They're against it. Our goal now is for us to run a server base through our dispatch center, which is moving soon, and to have live feed cameras at both schools and key areas. If it saves us a minute having that live feed, that's a big chunk for us, so that's a great thing coming. Many family members of students came into the meeting quite concerned, but left informed and relieved. I picked her up from the parent pick up at three o'clock at the elementary school. She got in the car, asked her how her day went. She said, just fine grand. But I found out today that if we're on the playground and we hear a shot, that we are to just drop to the ground. And it broke my heart because she's nine years old, she's in the third grade. But I feel better. I don't have the concerns that I had before. I know that she's going to be taken care of, but the best possible. Ms. Spurlock went on to express her gratitude for school staff, the police department, and everyone involved in taking such good care of the children. Reporting from Pikeville, I'm Shawn Allen for EKB News.


I got a new blender. So if you're wondering why I got a new blender when I have my trusty blender over here because this is glass and this is Plastic now as we all know plastic can make us fat And if you didn't know that you should check out my blog Hot toxins are making you flat fat. Hot toxins are making you fat. So many like that. Anyway And if you're wondering what was that big of a deal why didn't you do it ages ago?  I'll just deal with it when the time comes I had some cash. Oh great. And that's what I'm doing And in fact this one started like smoking the other day as well. So I guess definitely time for upgrade Yeah, I mean always just chipping away at little improvements little upgrades Switching things over to the better vision that's how I roll and That's how, you know, I think it's it's a good way to approach health You know, don't expect everything to be perfect overnight, but you know in something Dyes or breaks upgraded and get the healthy vision So I'm gonna go make a smoothie


Welcome to Toffy TV. There is a lot of talk at the moment of incoming, but the right back area is hoted up again, mainly from Marker, the Spanish news outlet. Now, whether or not you believe Marker or you don't, there's a lot of stories in the last day or so linking us again with Atletico, right back, Santiago, Arias. Arias. We were linked with him 12 months ago as well with him, and it looked like it may happen then, didn't happen, but linked with him again. AS as well, I think, it's another Spanish publication reporting the same thing as well now.  But he's obviously behind Cair and Trippie, he's near Atletico, and there's another man. So he's there to show. I guess he's available, international footballer. Good, good player. Yeah, yeah. I mean, what are you, what are you thought, just off the baff, first of all? You know, he's 28, I think. I'd be surprised if he was a parent there, you never know though. Obviously I haven't seen him working better financially. But I think, as a loan, it'd be a good sign, just for a year. I think we were this for right back, you know, we were always looking for a bridge loan in the sense that we're probably not going to spend money on a right back, there's some more significant money maybe. And then we'll look at it again next year when that becomes a more priority position, we're sent in the field and right wing much more priority positions this summer, maybe even back up left back in some people's minds. But now I think he'd be fine, like, you know, I've talked about Kenny Sesse, he's similar type, similar thing here, you know, experienced, solid.  You know, been well coached by Diego Simeone. And he gets forward well as well, to create chances, go across to the ball. He's aggressive as well. Ffans are like that about him as well. Is there a concern for you that, again, it's another player who's over 27, it seems to be a little, if what's being reported is accurate, then seems to be a little bit of a change in the direction of what? Maybe, yeah, maybe they've looked at the culture, maybe they've looked at the maturity of the squad in the sense that they don't see people who, sometimes, you know, I don't believe that age relates to myself, but everyone sees things differently. Maybe, actually, he's looked at, I need a bit more experience. People in the trenches, he's confidence, doesn't drop out if they have a bad game. And obviously, people like Arias, he's played for athletics, he's come and driven Champions League games. You know, Hames Rodriguez, he's played at the top level. Alan, he's played for Napoli for years. And to Corey, obviously, he's been at Woff. But the three there, they've all played at the high level, they've all been consistent players in tough leagues and for good teams. So, yeah, I can understand the logic in it. Would I do that? No, but that doesn't matter. It's not my job. I understand, as I said, I've always talked about, you have to understand things rather than agree with them all the time. So, yeah, I think in terms of right back, it doesn't, if it's a loan, it doesn't really matter how old they are in the sense that I don't like to do loans without an option to buy. If he does well and you think the Coleman, it gives you options, you see, even if you have an option to buy, you don't have to take it up. It just gives us that option in the season. We'll pass a few of another season, maybe, and then we'll see where we go after that.  Because, you know, as someone who looks for players, the full-back position's quite shallow. You've got great players like Hickey and me, obviously, when it's into my line. Superb, but below that, and maybe in evidence price range, it's a bit more risky. So, I understand why you'd maybe go with a more, in theory, solid option in the areas. So, yeah, I think he's a better fit for everyone at the moment than Seamus Coleman. John Joe Kenny, you know, I've got me doubts about him at Premier League level in terms of his awareness of what's around him and his overall athleticism. So, yeah, the areas wouldn't be a bad sign at all.  Oh, stats. It's some stats. Here we go. It's defensive jewels, 1%, it's 77%. Outrageously high, yeah. Again, we'll think about this, and we'll put some context on this place for athleticism in Madrid to play a lower block, good. However, you still need to know if he's positionally smart, be aware of, you know, COVID centre-backs when need be. So, yes, it does help playing for that team, but he has shown that he is a good defender. You're possession-adjusted in deception. So, that's still good, because obviously, athleticism in Madrid don't have a lot of the ball, but he's still on the sixth, which is where you want to be. He reads the game quite well as he is aggressive, so sometimes he can overrun things, but again, you take that, you're rough with the smooth. It's progressive passes, pay 90, 10.2. Yeah, that's what you want. So, you can push the ball through the lines, move the ball at the pitch. We're going to be a team that likes to transition fast because of the forwards, so that's good there. Excellent. It's progressive runs, pay 90, 0.93. Different type of... So, athleticism in Madrid aren't really, you know, the most attacking of the side, so that will affect his numbers.  So, I wouldn't be too worried about that. It's near one, which isn't the issue. He's not a flyer, you know, he's not that type of... Trent Aaron and Alexander is pretty much the same as that table. Alexander-Arnold, I would say that, yeah. Chancers create a pay 90, just over 1.08. Great, yeah. You know, at the end of the day, if you're getting a right back, who creates 30, 40 chances a season from there, that's really good numbers for that position. You know, some wingers don't even manage that. So, yeah, you know that. He didn't play a lot of minutes last season, just over a thousand. Obviously, just kid and trippy has gone in there and done well. But even so, when he was called upon, he was good, yeah. What I've seen of him in bits and pieces from last season as well, he does support the attack really well. He makes some really good runs, decent balls into the box as well. It's the way it is for him, yeah. And energy as well, energy and work life. I think you look at Coleman now. I think Coleman will play certain games where we are asking for someone to tuck in as that third centre back when we're in possession. But he can't do it, we're going for it. We'll see his numbers and terms of when he actually gets to the final third of the greatest. And that's really where we need the extra benefit. I thought, obviously, that he did bring that. Unfortunately, his sense of lapses and his positioning left a lot to be desired in the front. Let's have a look at Sheamus then, you just spoke about him there. So these are Sheamus' numbers from last season. Defensive duels won 64%. That's good for the Premier League, yeah. Right way about where you want it to be. Possession is just again similar to Adidas, that's fine. Progressive pass is less. Sheamus is not the best pass of the ball, we all know that. Progressive runs 1.81, always been a strength of his. Run on straight lines, still good. Still pushes the pace, obviously brings it up the pitch. So that's not a problem. It's then when you get to this. Chance of creators. No.21. No.21. I think it was six all of last season. We need more than that. And he gets in some really great positions. We can still get, you know, not every game, but you can still get, you know, penetrate the area with his dribble and get inside that he can't find the man. Can't get across, can't beat the first man. And that's why Sheamus Coleman is on the decline. You know, some players don't decline to leave it on he is now, but he just can't do it when he's in the box anymore. He was never one of the best creators in the Premier League, but he could always cause problems for teams and score a couple of goals a season. He's not that type of player anymore. So we need someone who can add the bits that he has and I think that is a big start to that, yeah. I think what I've noticed with Coleman, particularly this season, oh sorry, last season, was that he did get better defensively, I think, in the past he's really... We've kind of said things like he's not the greatest defender, he offers a lot going the other way. Now I think he's realised that he's got a bit older, which is what a lot of players do. He's tailored again, and he's become a better defender, and you're right, we're losing no point to one from a position where one of the area of his game, he was really strong, was creating opportunities. On the whole, really, as a team, he needs to create more. I've always said full back, you know, he's sent him a field, wingers, they all need to create more. You know, obviously he'll look at things, creates a lot, but apart from them, but Charleston's done a lot better last season, apart from them, to really need other positions, left wing, Alex Orwell, Anthony Gordon, whoever the new right winger may be, maybe in the same Colombian, maybe match it with his international team mate. Whoever it may be, you need to chip in with more creativity, because you've got two lads up front who can put the ball in the back of the net, you've given the chances, and you looked at them, they didn't overperform massively in terms of the XG, which means that they basically took the chances that he did the right... Yes, exactly, and really we need to create more chances for them. If it was Arias coming in, would he be more comfortable in a 4-3-3? Well, not more comfortable, but would he be as equally comfortable in a 4-3-3? You can be comfortable in both. He plays 4-4-2 for... That's good for us. There's that system match that you want when you profile on players, and then when you play for PSV, they play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, so I think he is a flexible player in that sense. Playing under Simeoni will certainly help him in terms of transition to an evidence side. We're not going to be as defensive, but there are games where Michelotti will ask them to sit a little bit deeper against teams. Catherine, I'm not sure if you will, and play that way so that he can play either way, which is good for us, the flexibility that we've left in certain positions. Shall we be a viable option for you? I think he was a viable option last year. I would have preferred to Sidiabi of Amonist last year, but I wouldn't like to see him sign another player on a three-year contract, because I don't want four or five players over a certain age, because it makes the squad harder to turn over, especially under FFP. If there was no FFP, bombs away, don't you like? But it's not. They're the restrictions that we have. So it wouldn't be a bad option. It would be an upgrade on Coleman for a year at least. Maybe two, if we did any more business. But yeah, that wouldn't be a bad deal at all. I think the thing is, well, just before we finish, with the turn over of plays, and I know a lot of people are being highlighted, rather us do a proper video on all of that. We'll do a proper video on all of that. But just the strapline from it is that we've got to be able to become self-sufficient. We can't keep going to the wealth, to the sherry as well. No, you can't. And now, listen, it's great and all that. It's a great sound place, but we surely want to get to a position where we can self-sustain through players. Even when we stem money under the sherry, we've always sold players. John Stones, Romain Lucachio, Ross Barwick, Anna Gaye last year. We've sold players throughout, and it does make it easier under those rules to spend money and continue to do so. Not by having players to sell makes it more difficult. And I know people are saying we need equality and experience. Yes, we definitely need equality 100%. And yes, you need a smarter experience. Fabian Delf probably hasn't worked out, but at the end of the day, you don't want to spend too much money on older players because it does leave you with the inflexibility. However, one or two, I suppose, I can understand Carlo's logic from it. I say, I wouldn't do it, but that's not my job. I think I understand from his position that he needs to have people he can rely on to set standards and people who've played at a higher level, which is totally understandable from his point of view. There you go. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. Is Arius a viable option for you or would you like to see everything go for a younger fullback? Or are you and Evertonian, I think John Joe Kenny, should be given the opportunity this season after his successful loan at Schelker? Let us know in the comments section below.

Hey, guys, it's Kevin. Today, we're going to talk about the Epson XP-14, which can do if you're one day your printer display that a part of your printer service life is up, and contact Epson for support. What happens is whenever you print, you do the printer cleaning, Epson is going to dump some waste ink into something called a waste pad. And they are going to talk about, I'm going to put a link to this page here. So you can see which part I'm talking about. Talk about the waste ink pad. And once this pad is full, Epson is going to stop you from printing and ask you to go to Epson Authorized Dealer. So on this page, you can click Authorized Dealer. And you can put your product name and do a search. Then you can search for your location name.  And I bet none of them is close to your home. And they're going to charge your arm and legs. Because this is considered wear and tear, it's not covered by your warranty. So instead of sending your printer into those expensive repairs, let me show you how to do it for $10.  And go to WIC. And then don't pay anything yet. Coming down. And then make sure your model is covered. XP-410, perfect. So click English. Sometimes your anti-virus or anti-spamware are going to have a false positive to delete this. You can see it's going to install in the C program file of inkchip WIC. And after you go through the installation, you can see I have this pop-up window. If I go to C and the program files, go to inkchip.net, but I see you only find an EXEF file that you downloaded because it's been deleted by the Northern. So we need to bring up Northern and take a look of the history. And we click Restore. Yes. Of course, you're going to avoid this trouble if you disable your Northern for a few minutes that you're using the software. You can see it put this application back. Now we can open and click Open it. And you should be able to see your printer on the drop-down manual. And that's why I told you earlier that do not buy it before you see this. And also click Read. If it cannot read your ink tank, it cannot reset it. So it cannot read the ink tank level. And we're ready to buy it. By the way, there are other companies that can do this. But I keep using ink chip. There are two reasons. One is their key is super, super cheap. And if you are a high volume user, you can get five keys for $6. And the second one is they have really good contact support. So not many companies they put in their telegram and Weber link here. So you can talk to them directly. And they'll be really nice to me and solve lots of my problems. That's why I recommend them. So nothing is I'm going to buy it. I'm going to click Buy. And here's a little bit confusing. They sell other things, such as a chipless solution for inkjet and also for laser printers. And the WISC is just one of the programs they sell. So you have to come down to find a WISC program. So today, I just need one key for $10. So next time I need five keys, I can click five. So add to cart, and then we're going to check out. And now inside of read, we click Reset. And we're going to paste the key. You just copy and paste. Say OK. And that's done. Please restart the printer.  I'm going to put a link to the ink chip in the description of this video. OK, let me show you if you have $10 more, what you can do. We're going to install an external ink tank into this printer. So next time, the WISC ink will not go to the WISC pad.  You only need a Phillips driver, a number two Phillips driver. And there's only one screw to remove. And the ink pad can be taken out. We're using this almost new printer for demonstration. Yours will be super, super dirty, and it's all soaked with ink. Here's where the ink comes out. And it's a soft rubber tube. We're going to use some tools from bchtechnologies.com. Again, you don't have to buy those if you have something that you can retrofit or something you can use. And for today, we go to accessories, WISC tank. It's not a receptor WISC tank. It's the WISC tank.  Today, we need this guy, 3 millimeter to 4 millimeter dual connector. This is definitely going to be new, this one. And for the tube, we're going to use a 2 feet 2.5 millimeter tube because that small rubber tube is 2.5 millimeter. And also, we're going to use a little bit of Velcro and we're going to use a jar. Or basically, I'm using this whole kit. If you already have a jar or you have tube, you don't have to buy everything. We're going to attach the tube to the connector first. Then you're going to push that connector into the rubber hose. You're going to worry that the tube is going to go inside or not. And just push straight and push all the way in. It's going to attach securely. Now we can wire the tube through that little gap between the power supply and the case. Put a little piece of tape to secure it. Now you're going to throw away the old ink pad. You don't need this anymore. Now every time the printer cleans itself, it's going to dump into this jar. Once you get the jar is full, just take the jar out and dump in the sink. Use the warm water to wash it clean and put it back. And totally reusable, totally environment friendly. I hope you enjoyed this video. Visit us at www.pchtechnologies.com or locally at Greensboro, North Carolina. Cheers.
