De Nederlands-Palestijnse antropologe Dina Zbeidy groeide op in Israël en werkte voor mensenrechtenorganisaties in Palestina. Ze vertelt over haar held: haar vader Ali, die haar de Palestijnse cultuur meegaf en haar in aanraking bracht met culturele iconen als cartoonist Naji al-Ali en schrijver Ghassan Kanafani. Hun werkt geeft Zbeidy kracht in een voor de Palestijnen ongekend duistere tijd. In Bureau Buitenland Zomerhelden spreken we met deskundigen over hun held of heldin, mensen die tegen de stroom in gaan, die ons inspireren en die bouwen in plaats van afbreken.

Hva skal til for at flere bygg bevares i stedet for å rives? I denne episoden av Science4Impact møter vi arkitekt Anniken Willmann, vinner av Skift-prisen under AHO Works Awards ved Arkitektur- og designhøgskolen i Oslo. Med diplomprosjektet, Challenging the Demolition Default – Reimagining Frognerhjemmet, tar hun et oppgjør med rivenormen i norsk byggebransje. Gjennom prosjektet viser Willmann hvordan bevaring, ombruk og bærekraftige materialer kan gi nytt liv til eksisterende bygg, med både gamle og nye funksjoner. Hun deler hvilke argumenter som ofte brukes for å rettferdiggjøre riving, hva som må til for reell systemendring, og hvordan innsikten fra Frognerhjemmet kan bidra til omstilling av byggenæringen.  God lytting!

Carrie and Mark settle in to everyday life.by T. Foxal. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.“Oh Mark. I have never been made love to like that ever. It was perfect. Everything you have done so far has been perfect for me. I don't think you have one selfish bone in your body. I need to know though, are you scared of all of this?”“Carrie, I have never been more scared in my life. Not even over in the sandpit, with bullets flying all around. Had you not said I love you back to me, when I made my declaration, I would have been crushed. I've never, ever let anyone into my heart, like I have let you in. Am I scared now? A little. I know you said it the other night. Well, you told me to catch up with you because you were already there. But over time, I thought you may have some misgivings for saying, since we were in the heat of the moment then. But all the little things you have been doing, or saying, led me to believe you really were. And, I wanted to make it special for you. This whole day when you weren't around me, all I could think of was you. I wondered what you were thinking when you took your bath before, or what you were doing and thinking when you left this morning. Let's face it, we haven't been alone with our own thoughts for a week now.”She leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips, then said, “Mark. I knew from that first kiss. Then when we made love the first time, I was in heaven. It wasn't sex between us. It was more. Since that time, we have done nothing but make love and my heart races every time I see you. I was so scared when I said that the other night. Did I push you away from me? Would you just say, screw this, I'm outta here. But the big thing for me was when we were at the winery, and you went up to the bar to get us those samples. Your eyes smiled at me the whole time. You didn't even look at that girl, who I thought was really hot, but just kept looking at me. You made love to me right then. Am I scared. Yes. I want this more than anything, but I don't want to be hurt again. I lived that. But, you are not him. You are so much more than he could ever be. I was eye candy for him, and a fuck, and nothing more. My heart is now yours, please don't hurt it.”I rolled to my side and looked deep into her hazel eyes, then kissed her. “You know what turned me on the most today?” “No, Baby, I don't” “When I saw you after you came back from your day in town. My God, you looked so sexy and stunning to me. You are such a beautiful woman, and not just physically, but all around. I wanted to take you then, but then that would have downplayed this evening. I never tried to be romantic with anyone before, and I so wanted to seduce you tonight.”She giggled. “Well Mr. Marine. You succeeded in every way tonight. I'll tell you. When I saw the robe, then the candles lit by the bathtub, I got super horny. I wanted you so bad then. Then when I shaved down there, I felt incredibly sexy. I even came after that. But when we took off our robes and I saw you in those boxers, I damn near raped you. But dancing really did me in. I almost told you then I loved you. But I am glad I waited now.”As she talked, her hand was now on my cock, stroking it back to life. When I was hard again, she leaned in and kissed me, then pushed me to my back. She kneeled and straddled me and slowly sat down on me, engulfing me with her velvet like inner walls of her sex.“Baby?” she whispered. “This has been an amazing night. But now I need to be a little naughty. A couple should be able to let loose some and enjoy sex too. I love lovemaking, but I also love to fuck Mark. But only with someone I want to give myself too, completely. I want to fuck your beautiful cock. I want to feel your cum spray deep inside me and, I want cum all over it. Fuck me Baby. Make me your Lover.”I arched my back up and drove in deep in her. “Oh Fuck. You are so deep.” She started moving up and down, faster and faster. “Oh god I love this. My favorite position too.”She leaned down and started smothering me with kisses. Moaning as we fucked. I did too. Her head slipped to the side of mine and whispered. “You like my tight little cunt, don't you Babe. Your cock is a perfect fit for it. My cunt loves your cock. Oh God Mark. ““Oh God Babe. Your cunt is so tight. I love it and always will. Fuck me Carrie.”She sat up and started grinding hard on me now. Neither of us was going to last long. I sat up and took her one tit in my mouth and sucked hard.“Oh Christ. Suck my tits Baby. I Love that so much”She started pounding me harder now, as I continued sucking it, then switched to the other. Her arm went behind my head and pulled me in tighter. My hands were holding her luscious ass as I did this. My one hand went exploring and touched her ass, which made her moan really loud. I slipped it down to her cunt and got it wet as the finger rubbed against her lips and my cock. Then I brought it up to her brown hole and slipped it in.“Oh Fuck Baby. Yes. God I love you”She started cumming a minute later. Her head and body shook as she came hard, but somehow, she maintain the rhythm we had going. I was now getting close myself and could feel my balls tighten up, signaling my impending orgasm. “Oh Shit Carrie, I'm going to cum” I yelled out.She slammed down one last time, and then jumped off. Her mouth was over my cock in no time and was starting to suck me, when I erupted in her mouth. I had to have shot 5 or 6 good ropes into her hungry mouth. She didn't spill a drop, except at the end, a little dribbled out the side.She was kneeling now, getting ready to wipe her mouth, when I grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her to me and I licked it off of her face and then kissed her. The kiss was so hot and passionate. We were lost in that kiss for minutes, until she broke away, panting hard.We both lay on our backs now, still in a euphoric bliss from our love making. Carrie was very quiet. At first I thought she fell asleep, until I felt her hand grasp mine and squeeze it.“Are you  okay Carrie?”, I asked. “Actually, I am on cloud nine, as they say. I've never been made love too, like this, then opening up and letting go like that. I just hope you don't think I am some sort of slut. I want to explore all there is with you sexually and lovingly too.”“Babe. You are hardly a slut. Sex to me, is supposed to be fun too. You were amazing. But our love making, well, it's beyond words. To me, you are an angel. Quite the lady too. In bed, we can do whatever we please, as long as we both agree on whatever we do. One thing though, I can never share you with anyone. I don't believe I get jealous, but I could never share you with anyone, man or woman. I knew a couple in the service that did that. Got into swinging. No way. Not with someone I love and respect, like I do you. But just so you know, I really enjoyed the naughty Carrie. She is fun.”“Umm.. I may have to let her out more often then. Cuz naughty Markie, was turning me on too. But, you will never have to fear me wanting another. I am quite happy with who I am with. I will never deny you in bed either. Except, when I am sick, or you are sick. Sex just doesn't seem like fun then. But that's about it.”“Yeah, being sick and wanting sex, just doesn't seem to go hand in hand. I will never deny you as well. But, I'm a guy, so the prospect of me saying no is quite low.”She giggled, then said, “Well. Mister. You better never hold out in the oral department anymore. Oh Christ. That was unbelievable. I could take that all day long. And, I love giving too. I love how you taste.”“You're turning me on again Honey. How do you feel right now?” I asked“Horny” she giggled then. “Honestly. And don't freak when I say this. But I feel as though I am on a Honeymoon and you took your virgin bride to sexual highs she never knew existed.”I did chuckle. “Nothing wrong with that. To me, you are a virgin, or at least were. I don't care about your past. You are my first, and dare I say, only love for me.”“I like that” she replied. Then said, “Where do you see us in a year?”“Honestly. I never look to the future too much. But, I have been lately. I hope that you will be with me in a year, and maybe, just maybe, if you haven't tired of my Jarhead ass, we are right back here, spending it as a true honeymoon”She folded into my arms and kissed my cheek. “I think that could be a real possibility. This Squid actually has thought about it, and she doesn't think she'll ever tire of you. Piss me off at times, Yes, but never tire.”I then laughed, and she asked what was funny. “God, if your Dad could see us right now. He'd hang me.”“Nah. He knows I like you a great deal. He doesn't know we professed love yet. But he does like you, Mom told me that. Jenny knows too. I talked with her this morning. I sent her a selfie, after I got my hair done. She called right after seeing it. Then she starts out by saying, “Damn Mom, you look hot. I think someone is in love.” She's a pretty smart girl actually. I was supposed to face time with her earlier, but someone had me a tad busy. She wants to see you and talk with you.”“Oh great. She's the one person that scares me the most, and I want on my side. More so, than even your parents. Go ahead and call her now. It's only 10pm.”She giggled again. “Uh No. We better wait until tomorrow. This is the first time her and her boyfriend Alan have been alone for a long time. He was with his family last weekend. They have dated for a year now, so I am pretty sure, they are in the same place you and I are right now, naked and in bed.”“You  okay with that? I asked. “Oh yes. I like him a lot. He treats her with so much respect and I know they love one another. He's a good kid and dotes after Jenny. His world revolves around her. He is studying to become a food scientist. If they can last the ups and downs of college and still remain in love, I could easily see them married one day. Only time will tell. And don't worry about her liking you, she will. She knows I do, and so far have made me extremely happy.”She got up then and walked to the bathroom. Then came back with our robes. “Let's go cuddle on the couch, enjoy some wine and TV, before we call it a night.” And so we did.Chapter 15.It was morning now, almost 8:30. I never sleep this late. The only reason I was up was because I had to pee so bad. Carrie was still sound asleep. She was curled up and looked so peaceful. My thought was, “What in God's name does she see in me. I'm nobody special. Yes, I am in good shape and I do treat her with respect, but she is absolutely beautiful and had I known of her, somewhere else, I would have never even attempted to approach her. I wasn't in her league, or so I thought”But here I am, one week after meeting her, and totally in love. I could not even fathom life without her in it. But reality would soon be creeping up on us. I knew she would be leaving mid-week. Would this all end after she left, and had time to really think this through? Only time will tell.I padded to the kitchen and made coffee. As it brewed I stood looking out the back door window. The skies were an ugly gray. Rain was falling. We knew this was coming, after viewing the weather report last night. Today and tomorrow, rain.I then toasted a few bagels, and got out the cream cheese. Made us both coffee, and took it to the bedroom. As I walked in, Carrie was yawning and stretching. Her tit were in plain view, and look so delicious to me. She sat up, not bothering to cover up. “Good sign” I thought.“Good Morning Sweetheart. I thought you may enjoy some breakfast in bed” I said to her.“Oh Wow. I could definitely get used to this. Especially if you lose that robe.”We sat and enjoyed our breakfast. We also started talking about this coming week. Since it was raining today, we decided to go into town and take in a movie and then dinner at some restaurant. On Monday, we were to hike Algonquin Peak, but if it is raining, we'll need to find something else to do.She then said, “You know I leave Wednesday. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday that I made months ago, and I can't reschedule. It just takes so long to get in to see her.”“I know you were leaving then. But, I also am going to leave that day, with you. No sense hanging around here. Be bored to death, and I know me, all I'll think of is you the whole time.”“Awe. You are so sweet to me. But this is your vacation and you had it all planned out. Stay and at least hike some more of these mountains. I'll feel bad if you miss out on that.” she said with a pouty face.I just smiled at her and told her no, it was best I do head home. I had some major cleaning to do at my place. The house I have is actually an older farm house that was my grandparents. My grandmother outlived my mom and when she died, it was left to me and Ann. Ann didn't want it, so to be fair, I paid her the half she would have received, if we had sold it.The house was nice, but very outdated. Even the furniture was from the 60's. To me, it was cool, but my needs are simple. Ann has been bugging me for almost a year now to at least get some new furniture, if not update the whole place. My office is actually the dining room.I tell you this because I have never brought anyone there, especially a date. So bringing Carrie there, as it looks right now, is totally out of the question. As I told her this, she just laughed. She asked if I keep it clean, or was I a typical guy, and let things go until I can't stand it anymore. I told her I always keep it clean, it's just very outdated.“You big lug, I don't care about stuff like that. I will care if it smells like the gym on board a ship smells like. That is so gross.” and we both laughed.We finished our coffee and bagels, and set our cups and napkins on the nightstand. She pulled the cover down and asked me to slide in. We started kissing and making out some, when her phone rang. “Perfect timing” I thought. She looked at the phone and said, “It's Jenny. Hope all is alright. She is never up this early.”“She hit some button and I saw Jenny's face appear on the screen. Luckily, Carrie had the sheet up above her tit, and I was safely off to the side.“Hi Sweetheart”“Hi Mom. Hope I am not disturbing you.”“No Sweetie. You're good. We were just having breakfast.”“Oh. In bed too. I take it Marine guy is nearby.”Carrie laughed, “If you must know young Jen, he is right here, and his name is Mark, not Marine guy. But you knew that” “Hey just giving you a hard time. Hi Mark.” Carrie moved the phone over to where I could see her and she see me. I had just put the robe back on, so I was decent.“Hi Jenny. Very nice to meet you. I must say, you are as pretty as your mother.”Jen smiled; “Thank you. I hope to get to meet you when you two get back from your little vacation.”“I would say that is a very good possibility, unless your Mom gets rid of me by then. Lots of mountain tops she could push me off of, up here.” I said with a laugh.Carrie turned the phone back to her and said, “What did you two do this weekend? Is Alan still there?”Jen smiled this sly smile “Yeah. He is still asleep. We went to dinner and a late movie, then came back here. The main reason I am calling is that Papa called a bit ago, or I'd be sleeping too. He and grandma are coming up next weekend”My eyes got real big, but Carrie just chuckled, “That's great. When are they coming in?”“Friday evening, and staying here for a few days, then going to aunty Bev's for a few days. And Mark. Papa had a message for you. “Don't crap where you eat son.” He said you'd understand completely.”I just shook my head. Great. He's gonna shit when he hears his daughter and I are now dating.Carrie was laughing now. Jen wanted to know what that was about. Carrie said she'd tell her when she sees her this week. They carried on for a few more minutes as Jen filled her in on stuff. Now Jen did look somewhat similar to her mom, from what I could see on the phone. That same light caramel color, with long flowing brown hair, and a gorgeous smile. Alan should consider himself a very lucky man. They signed off then after saying goodbye's and Jen saying bye to me too, telling me to take very good care of her mother, or else.I asked, “Are you sure she isn't your blood daughter? You two look so much alike.”“I wish she was. But No. Her parents were Puerto Rican, so the skin color is close. She shorted too, only 5 foot 3. She is an angel. You think Dad dotes over me? Wait till you see him around Jenny. I feel bad for Alan. He's met Dad twice now and is scared shitless of him. But Daddy wants only the best for his girls.”“Yeah, well, I am wondering now what is he going to say about us being together. He still scares the shit out of me.”She laughed, “Oh I don't know. I'll let you know after I tell him how you been having your way with me this whole week.” then laughed some more. She then opened his robe, grabbed his semi stiff member and stroke it.She giggled, the looked at him and stated, “Umm, I wonder what he'd say if he knew I was doing this.”, as she lowered her head to my manhood and sucked the head in.“Oh God Carrie.”The PromiseCarrie and Mark settle in to everyday life, once they return from their week and a half camping and hiking trip, after finding love in those mountains.I asked, “Are you sure she isn't your blood daughter? You two look so much alike.”“I wish she was. But No. Her parents were Puerto Rican, so the skin color is close. She shorter too, only 5 foot 3.. She is an angel. You think Dad dotes over me? Wait till you see him around Jenny. I feel bad for Alan. He's met Dad twice now and is scared shitless of him. But Daddy wants only the best for his girls.”“Yeah, well, I am wondering now what is he going to say about us being together. He still scares the shit out of me.”She laughed, “Oh I don't know. I'll let you know after I tell him how you been having your way with me this whole week.” then laughed some more. She then opened my robe, grabbed my semi stiff member and stroke it.She giggled, the looked at him and stated, “Umm, I wonder what he'd say if he knew I was doing this.”, as she lowered her head to my manhood and sucked the head in.“Oh God Carrie.”Chapter 16.The rest of that day, and into Monday, it did nothing but rain. So exploring any of the mountain tops was curtailed. We pretty much hung around the cabin in just our robes that day. The only time we dressed was to go to dinner, down into town. Neither of us felt like cooking. It was very hard for me to resist getting Carrie naked and just making love all day, but she needed to know that our relationship, that we both professed our love for each other, was more than just a physical thing, but also emotional.You see Carrie is a very beautiful woman. She is 5 foot 7, 130 pounds, with caramel colored skin, almost like Halle Berry skin tone. Her hair is short now too, with blonde highlights mixed in with her brown hair. Totally sexy in my eyes. She has amazing legs that are long and toned and a great ass. What turns me on the most is her tits. They are a large A, or small B cup. I love a woman with small tits.I am 5 foot 10, 175 pounds, and been told by many, a handsome man. I keep in shape, and that is because after spending 20 years in the Marines, you get used to working out. It's just ingrained into your fabric. I was single too, for all of those years. Never had a serious relationship, except for a semi one, back in my 20's, when I lived with a girl for a few months. But she didn't enjoy my deployments too much and wanted more. It was mostly a sex thing for us, and a place for us both to crash, when we were screwing.But now, a week and a half later, I am totally in love with this goddess, and she with me as well. What is funny too, I know her parents, or to be more specific, her father. He was a Master Chief in the Navy, and was on the aircraft Carrier Lincoln at the same time I was, years ago, when I was a Staff Sergeant in the Marines. Great guy too, but could scare the hell out of you. Carrie too, was in the Navy back then, but I do not think we ever crossed paths, since she worked on base, and, was also married back then to a Seal, which she now divorced from.Like I said earlier, we only got dressed that Sunday for dinner, then that Monday, a day we were supposed to visit another Adirondacks peak, it rained as well. We did go driving around and admired the countryside and had a fine dinner at the Italian restaurant we found the previous week.Then on Tuesday, we decided to go horseback riding. We found a place about 20 minutes from the cabin, near Lake Clear. We had a great time exploring the area by horseback. I have to admit, my ass was quite sore by the time we got through, as was Carrie's. There was a few times I would hang back, behind her and admire her ass as it bounced up and down in the saddle.She looked back one time and caught me. “God, don't you ever tire of looking at my big ass?”I just chuckled and told her, “Hell No. I love your ass, and it is hardly big. Remind me later to massage it for you, because if mine is sore, I know yours has to be.”“Maybe I will let you. Not sure if I want you touching it later. Now get up her next to me.” then whispered to me, after I got close, “You be a good boy, and I'll let you see it naked later.”, then laughed and rode away from me.After our ride, we stopped in this tavern that also featured home cooked meals. We both decided on burgers and fries. Normally, we both try to stay away from fried foods, but, as we both found out from talking, we like to cheat on occasion.By the time we got back to the cabin, nighttime was upon us and this was our last night together. I know we both pledged our love to one another, but after tonight, she may get a dose of reality when she got back home, and say, “No way” to being in a relationship. For me, I was all in. I never wanted anything more in my life, than to be with this beautiful, smart, witty and energetic woman.After getting into the cabin, I started a fire in the fireplace and Carrie went off to the bedroom, to get ready to shower. After I had a nice fire going, she came out in her robe and asked me to join her. As we washed each other down, removing the horse smell from our bodies, we kissed and held each other. We both took turns drying each other, then donned our robes and made our way to the couch. Before I sat down, I went and got us each a glass of wine.“Mark?” she said, and I looked at her. She had a tear on her cheek, for which I lightly brushed away. “What's wrong Honey?” I asked.“This is our last night here. This has been the best vacation I have ever experienced. Had you told me two weeks ago that I would meet the man of my dreams, I would have said you are so full of shit. But here I am, sitting next to you. I am so in love with you and I am also scared silly about tomorrow.” she explainedI knew what she meant, when she said she is scared. I am too. We get back to our real lives and the fantasy just fades away. She was deeply hurt all those years ago and opening up and allowing someone in, has to be tough for her to do. For me, it is a new experience. One I have never had before. If it does end, it will hurt, but I know I can move on from it, I think.“Carrie. I'm scared too. Once we are home and reality sets in for you, you may say, screw this. I have never opened up to anyone in my life, except for you. I just hope that you will grow with me. I'm going to make mistakes. You may want something, but I'm too stupid to know and understand, but like anything in life, you learn. One thing I will promise you and this is I will always be true to only you. I love you and will never do anything to hurt you.”“Oh Mark. No man has ever made me feel this way. We'll take each day as it comes and just know I will never hurt you as well. But be forewarned now, I can get bitchy. I don't mean to be, but it happens and when it does, just leave me be, and I will be fine. I think the hardest part of tomorrow is going to be not being with you, especially at night. After a week of sharing a bed together, and feeling so close to you, it is going to suck not having your arms around me tomorrow night, or this weekend. If I didn't have that appointment Thursday, I'd let you stay with me tomorrow, but I know us, we make love, and since this is a gynecologist I am seeing, sex wouldn't be the most prudent thing for me to do. And then this weekend, with my parents in town, I'm not sure what they'd say about us sleeping together.”I laughed, “Yeah, I could just see the look on your dad's face when we told them goodnight and padded off to bed. As for sex. We don't always have to have it you know. I mean I'll never turn it down, but I also know there is more to us than just sex. But tomorrow after we get home, and then at night, we'll probably both be too tired to do anything. Plus, like I said, I need to straighten up the place. One thing though. On Thursday, I would like to take you and Jenny to dinner, Alan too. That way, she has someone there who she is comfortable with, just in case she can't stand me.”“Oh Stop. She is going to love you. I'll call her tomorrow and set it up. Now! Take me to bed for the last time here and hold me Baby. I want to fall asleep in your arms.”Chapter 17.We got up early for some reason, and took a shower together. I still marvel at this exceptionally beautiful woman. She makes my heart race anytime I am near here. And when we are naked, it quadruples in magnitude. We did not have sex, but we did hold and caress each other until the water started turning cold.We were then packed and on our way home. She drove in front of me for the next 4 hours. We did talk on the phone a couple of times. The last time was just before my exit, which is a couple before hers. I called her and told her I would call her later and that I loved her. I could hear in her voice, a hitch, just like I had in mine. I missed her already and I had just exited from the roadway.Once I was home, I did a load of laundry, then went and started dusting and vacuuming the place. Not a thing I do a lot of. Of course my sister always comes over and does it at times, and bitches me out when she does. I then cut the grass, which was needed after two weeks of not touching it. It takes two hours to cut this lawn, and that's with a tractor. While I was cutting, I did miss a call from Carrie. She also texted me, just saying she was thinking of me and loved me. I texted back apologizing that I didn't answer her and explained why, and that I would call her later.We did talk around 6 that evening. She too was busy with housework and laundry. She strip the beds, not knowing which bed Jenny and Alan slept in. I had to laugh at that. She chuckled too but said, “It's one thing to sleep in our wet spot, but I'm surely not sleeping in theirs.” Which made me laugh hard.About 10 that night, I called her. She was lying in bed, reading a book. She conveyed to me that Jenny was ecstatic over meeting us for dinner and really happy I had included Alan. They were going to meet us at Carrie's at 6pm tomorrow. I told Carrie we would try Delmonico's Steakhouse, which was kind of close to her.She chuckled and said, “Oh fancy place. You know, you don't have to take us there. There's a nice restaurant right down the street from us.”“That's cool. But I want too. How many college kids can go to a place like this. Plus I have always wanted to try it, but, I'm not going alone. Ann said the food is excellent there.”“Speaking of Ann, did you call her and inform her that you are bringing someone Sunday?” she asked.“Oh yeah. She is so excited now. She can't wait to meet you. I told her that your parents were going to be in from Florida and I didn't know what plans they had that day. She said to bring them along too. The more the merrier.”Carried giggled, then said, “I don't know if your sister has a clue what Dad can be like. Just don't bring up politics. He thinks they are all thieves and liars.” which made me laugh.Then she got quiet. “Anything wrong? You are quiet now “ She sighed, “No, just missing lying next to you, with your arms around me. I feel so safe then. I love you Mark”“I love you too, Carolyn, and I do miss being with you. It was a very long day without you near me.” I told her.“It was a long day for me as well. I don't know how or why this happened between us, but I am so happy that you are in my life now. Maybe tomorrow night, you can spend it here with me, if you want too.” she said.“I think that can be arranged. You know what I do miss? You calling me Jarhead. When you say it, it means something to me.”“I told you, after last weekend, I was done calling you that, but if you insist, I'll just call you JH.”“I insist Squid. Now get some sleep. Just know, I love you Carrie and I am holding you in my dreams tonight.”Chapter 18.I knew Carrie had an appointment at 11am, so I didn't want to bother her, but did send her a text, after I got up and said good morning and I love you. She replied instantly to it, saying she was about to shower and get ready and she loved me too.I was pretty proud of myself. I dusted and swept the whole house. Not that I am a slob, but those are two jobs I really don't enjoy doing. Hell, living alone and never having people over, except for my sister, afforded me the luxury of not caring too much to do that. But with Carrie in my life, I guess I need to change my way of thinking.I then immersed myself in a project that I had been working on for this one company. I needed to do something to keep my mind occupied, since I would not be seeing her until later in the afternoon. I was surprised though, that by 3pm, I hadn't heard anything from her. I hope all went well with her doc appointment.I had told her that I would be over by 5:30, so we could spend some time alone, before Jenny and Alan showed up. By 4:30, I was shaved, and showered, then dressed for the evening. Since it was cool out, I wore dark blue pants, and lighter blue shirt, with a dark blue sport coat. I wanted to look good for when I met Jenny, and convey, I'm not some unkempt slob, who was dating her mother. I'm generally a jeans and t-shirt, or sweatshirt, kind of guy.I couldn't stand the wait any longer and decided to arrive a bit sooner. I got to her house at 5:15, so just a little bit early. After ringing the doorbell a few times, Carrie finally opened the door. Although she smiled when she let me in, I could tell something was amiss with her. After a brief hug and quick kiss on the lips, we stood back from one another.Carrie was wearing a burgundy pleated dress. It came to just above the knees. The neckline plunged just a bit, with white lace around the edges, with short sleeves as well. She looked radiant.“Wow. You look absolutely beautiful Sweetie.” I told her. She just said thanks, but that was it. Then said she had to finish getting ready. My antennae was now up. I could sense something was wrong. This girl was always so bubbly, and that definitely was not the case now. So I just walked around her living room, looking at pictures on the wall of Jenny, and her parents, and some people I had no clue of who they were. Then just took a seat and waited for her.For me, this was something new. I did not know what to say or do. Did I do something wrong, that may have upset her? Who knew, but this was not the Carrie I just spent almost two weeks with, had fun with, and made love too on many occasions. So I'm basically a fish out of water now. I made up my mind to just go with the flow, and when she is ready to talk, I'll be there, and hopefully, understand what is going on.Of course, my fear was she was going to end this between us. She had time to reflect and said that this wasn't worth it. If that is how she felt, then who was I to pursue it any further. I don't want to be with someone who did not want the same as me. Sitting there waiting, makes your mind think weird ass things, like I just did. Then again, maybe it wasn't anything and she is just having a bad day, or is nervous about me meeting Jenny.She finally emerged from wherever she was in her condo. When I saw her, she looked the same, so I have no idea what else she could have been doing. She walked into her kitchen and got a bottle of water, then asked if I wanted one too, which I kindly said no too.I finally got the courage to ask, “Is there something wrong?”She looked at me and had a sullen look on her face, then finally said “No. Guess I am just tired from all the prodding and poking today. I'm sorry I am not more upbeat.”I got up and went to her and wrapped my arms around her, “If you want to cancel tonight, that would be okay with me. We keep go out with them some other time, when you are feeling more up to it.”“No. No. I am fine. It will be fine. We'll go have a fun night with them. Jenny is so looking forward to meeting you.” she said, as she pulled away from me and went into the living room. “We'll talk later tonight, when we get back.”I knew from how she stated it, something was wrong. But, being a dumb man, I have no clue as to what. I didn't want to piss her off by asking questions. Maybe something at the doc's. I guess when she is ready, she will let me know. I walked up next to her and grabbed her hand, just to let her know I was there for her. At that point, her front door opened and in walked Jenny and Alan.Jenny was definitely a looker. I would say 5 foot 3, maybe 110 pounds, brown hair and eyes, and the cutest dimples. She did have bigger boobs than her mom, but since she was adopted, that made sense. But the irony of how much the two looked alike was uncanny. Alan was a good looking guy too. He had that German look to him. Blond hair, blue eyes, chiseled face and stood about 6 foot, but maybe weighed 170 pounds, if that.After making the introductions and some small talk, we left her condo and headed to dinner in my truck.At dinner, Carrie seemed to be her normal self. Well, at least the normal I had seen for the last two weeks. Jenny was regaling us with stories from her college life and some of things her and Alan had been doing of late, except for the sex part. I don't think Carrie, or myself, needed or wanted to know those details.As dinner was finally coming to an end, I had to admit, I was kind of quiet. I just let the three of them guide the evening and the conversation. Jenny did inquire what I actually did for a living, so I explained it to her. She was impressed, as was Alan. I tried not to let my concerns for Carrie, or our budding relationship ruin the evening. In my heart though, I had a bad feeling, this would be the last time I would see these three people.Near the end of dinner, Carrie announced that she needed to use the ladies room. Alan also said he need to use the facility, which then left just me and Jenny. I wasn't sure what to say to her, so I let her make the first move on talking.  “okay Mark. What's up with mom? Did you two have an argument or something?” Jenny asked.I shook my head, “Jenny. I have no idea what is wrong tonight. When I arrived this evening, she was down for some reason and won't tell me why. Yesterday we were fine, but ever since her doctor visit, she has changed. Maybe she has done some thinking and decided a relationship is not what she wants. Until she tells me, I am in the dark.”Jenny reached over and touched my arm. “I don't know either, but I do know that she and I talked last night for an hour and she is head over heels in love with you, and says you are with her as well. Are you Mark? Are you in love with my Mom?”“Nothing has changed for how I feel for your mother Jenny. I am in love with her. But, if she has had a change of heart, then I will abide by her wishes. Maybe we moved too fast. I don't know. To be honest Jenny. I have never been in love before, so this is a new territory for me. But if she had time to reflect now, and feels this isn't what she wants, well, I don't want to force anything like that on her. I just want her happy.”Jenny just shook her head, “I can't believe her mind could change like that. Something must be wrong and she just needs time to process it. Maybe you two can talk later. When we get back to my mom's, Alan and I are going to leave, and give you two some space to talk. Oh, and by the way, Papa really does like you. He thinks you are a good man.”Just as she said that, Carrie was walking back. Alan came a minute later. The waitress came around and asked if any of us wanted dessert, but we all begged off, since our meals were so filling.On the way home, Carrie was pretty quiet. In fact, you could probably cut the tension with a knife, that was between us. Jenny and Alan were pretty quiet too. I'd have done anything to hear some funny story either of them may have had right then.After arriving back at Carrie's condo, we all got out and Jenny said that they needed to get going. Carrie said she wished they could stay longer, but the kids said they had some homework they needed to finish up, but would see us this weekend. Of course my mind didn't think I would be involved with this family get together.As they left, Carrie turned and headed to her door, and I followed. Once inside, she asked if I wanted anything to drink, which I kindly declined. She went to the kitchen and got a bottle of water then rejoined me in the living room. I wanted to get this over with, so I started it off.  “okay Carolyn, please tell me what is wrong. I need to know.” I said in a somber voice.“Let's sit” she said, and we both did. She faced me and I could see a tear starting to form in her eye. My stomach became a knot now. My fears were now becoming reality, at least in my mind.“I wish I knew where to start, but I have to say, that no man has ever made me feel the way you make me feel. But I really think we need to step back and take a break for now.”, then she started crying. I reach for her, but she backed away. That made it feel like a knife was just plunged into my heart.“Carrie. How can you go from being so in love, to wanting to take a break, just like that. There is more than what you are telling me. So please tell me what has caused this sudden change in feelings.”She was still sobbing, trying to get her emotions under control, then finally looked at me and said, “Mark. They found a growth on one of my ovaries today. After the Pelvic exam, she did and ultrasound and found it. They want me to see a specialist next Tuesday then do some testing.” then started crying again. This time she let me pull her towards me. I knew this isn't good, but this is also something that can be taken care of. I had a cousin once have something similar to this and they removed a cyst the size of an egg from her, and she was fine then.“It's  okay Carrie. I'm sure it's nothing that medicine or an operation can't take care of.” I told her.“And what if it isn't Mark? What if it is cancer. Why should you be saddled with that in your life. We've known each other not even two fucking weeks. Although the best two weeks of my life. But this is not something you need to be part of. Your best bet is to turn around, walk away and get on with your life, like I never existed.” and started crying again.I pulled her into me again and held her tight. Her head was buried in my shoulder, and I caressed her hair and let her cry. I mean, if I was in her position, I'd probably tell her the same things. But I may not know her completely, but what I know of her already, she has a fierce loyalty to people she cares for and loves, and I know she wouldn't walk away either.After letting her sob some more, I gently moved her back, and away from me, so I could speak to her. “Sweetheart. There is no way I am letting you do this alone. Granted, we have only known each other for two weeks, but in these two weeks, you have captured my heart with every fiber of your being. I am in love with you Missy. People who love one another don't turn tail and run because of something traumatic happens to the other person. You stand with them, be their support and showed them love, for that is the only thing that can help get you through this. I have been a Marine for all of my adult life and one thing that is ingrained in us, from the time of our first day in boot camp, is that you never let the man next to you, or when you are a sergeant, your platoon, you never abandon them. No man is ever left behind. You're wounded Honey, so I will not leave you behind, so get used to that. When this is all over and you still feel this way, then you can tell me to hit the bricks.”She just stared at me, and while trying to compose herself, she gripped my hand in hers. “It's not fair to you Mark. What if it is cancer and it can't be fixed, then what? You going to just wait around and watch me die? You could be out finding that right person, instead of babysitting me.”“Stop it Carrie. You have no idea what it is. It could be a simple cyst, that meds could take care of. But one thing I do know, I will be with you this Tuesday, and any other day you need to have something done. I will be the first person you see when you wake up. But I will be there and I will always be there for you. I love you.”“Mark. It's not fair.” she shouted, then started crying again. “You're right. It's not fair. But who said life is. But I am not walking away. In fact I am more in love with you now, than I was 20 minutes ago. I don't know about you, but I have every intention of growing old with you. We have too much to do with our lives. So baby doll, I am not leaving you, Not ever.”“Carrie. Do you love me?” I asked. “Damn you Jarhead. You know I do.” she said. “Good. Don't you ever hold back something like this again from me. I won't either from you. But Babe, we can only help one another if we are open and honest with each other. Why don't you go get ready for bed. I'm not going home tonight, but I will sleep on the couch.”She shook her head and got up. As she did, she reached for my hand, “You are not, nor will you ever sleep on the couch. Your place is beside me in bed. I'm so sorry for ever thinking you would want out of this. I do love you Mark. More than you will ever know”She led me up the stairs to her bedroom. We both stripped off of our clothes. I had on the white silk boxers she got me. She put on this long t-shirt with a Minion on the front. She looked cute. We both used her bathroom then climbed into bed, where she snuggled up to me and let me hold her close. Her head rested on my chest.“Mark?” she said softly. “Carrie?” I answered back. “I am sorry. I promise never to do that to you again. I'm also sorry I was a Debbie Downer tonight at dinner, and even before. I'm sure Jenny could tell something was wrong.”“Oh yeah she could. She thought that you and I had an argument. Your daughter is quite perceptive. After meeting her now, I have to say, you two do favor one another. Alan is one lucky man and judging how he dotes on her, he knows it too. They do make a nice couple. I just hope I made a good impression with her. I wasn't to talkative tonight.”“Well, I think you'll get a few more chances this weekend to really win her over. But I can tell she likes you already. If she talks a lot, she likes you. Had she just sat there and not talked much, then that means she doesn't want anything to do with you.”“You know, last night, I was so lonely without you next to me. I hugged my pillow thinking it was you. Except your body is a bit more muscular. I had so many plans for tonight, with us ending the night in bed making love. I want too, but I don't want to do that until we know what is going on down there.”My hand was stroking her back, when I said, “I don't know about you, but this is making love Baby. I'm not in this for the sex. I'm in this because of love. Holding you close, telling our feelings to each other, that is true love making in my book. I'm not too good with stuff like this, but I have never felt this way for another human being. We'll have plenty of time for lovemaking, and dare I say, some naughty sex.”She snuggled even closer and let her hand rub on my chest and belly. “Thank You. You make me feel so loved. I love you Mark. Oh and I like what you wore under your pants. You do look sexy in these boxers.”“I love you too Carolyn. Now get some sleep. We have a long weekend ahead of us. That is if you want me around all the time.”“Of course I want you around the whole time. Not sure about sleeping together. Daddy may have a hard time with that one.” then giggled.Chapter 19.In the morning we agreed to take separate showers instead of together. We both agreed it would be too tempting, had we gone in together. She did tease me though by removing her shirt and slowly saunter into the bathroom, giggling the whole way. I would say My Carrie was back.Her parents flight was due in at 4pm. I told Carrie I needed to catch up on a few things at the house, but would be back in time to go with her to pick them up. She must have texted me twenty times, just saying I love you. That made me feel good.I picked Carrie up at 3pm and went to the airport to meet her parents. She was very happy today. A far cry from yesterday's somber mood she was in. She was wearing a maroon cashmere sweater and black slacks. I too had black slacks on and a blue crew neck sweater. The whole trip there she held my hand, as she did once we were there and waited.Like all airports now, you had to wait down in the baggage area. It took about 10 minutes after their plane arrived, before we saw them coming down the escalator. Once Carrie spotted them, she pulled me along until they were on top of us, and went and hugged her mom, then her dad.Then Mrs. Reynolds gave me a hug and a kiss, and said I still looked like I did when we met in Norfolk all those years ago. Chief shook my hand then said, “You ain't giving me no damn hug son.” I just laughed and told him, “Not in your life you crotchety old bastard.” which made us all laugh.After arriving back at Carrie's, we saw that Jenny was there waiting for us. Alan was with her, but I could see the tension in his face. The old man did scare the shit out of him. I took him aside and told him, just to relax, but show no sign of fear to the chief. He eats that shit up. He sort of laughed and said, oh sure, easier said than done Mr. Roberts. I told him for now on, call me Mark. Save the mister for the other guy.We all then went to dinner, after the couple relaxed a bit after their flight. It was one of those chain restaurants. We all had a good time and of course, Chief had to regale us with stories when I was aboard the Lincoln. That's when Jenny asked about the “don't shit where you eat comment”, but cleaned it up some because of her mom and grandma there. Chief went on to explain about this one newly appointed petty officer I had an eye on. After he finished, everyone laughed, only because he made sound more colorful than it actually was.After we got back to Carrie's, the girls busied themselves in the kitchen, leaving myself, Alan, and the Chief alone in the living room. I could see Alan was a bit apprehensive about being in there. I'm sure he was never prepared for anything like this in college.  “okay you two Shitbirds.” chief started out. “Those three fine ladies in there mean the world to me. And two of them, for some ungodly reason happen to like you two. All I ever wanted for those two is complete happiness. If you can't give them that, leave now, otherwise, I need a promise to never ever hurt them, no matter what.”“You have my word on that Chief. Never doubt that.” I said, as the chief then nodded once to me. Alan then looked at him and said, “Sir, my only intention is to make Jenny happy, so I promise.” Chief just glared at him. Alan was unsure of what he said, but knew he didn't like something. I looked at Alan and said, “Alan. Relax. Just don't call Mr. Reynolds sir. Non Com's, noncommissioned officers, like we both were, do not like getting called sir, by anyone. And Chief, chill out, he isn't military.”Chief just chuckled. “Yeah, and don't call me Mr. Reynolds. Makes me feel old. Call me John for now on, or at least until you guys make it legal between those gals in there, then we'll figure out what you call me then. And Alan, you did good kid. You didn't break, like so many Seaman have, right out of boot camp.” then just smiled.Just then the girls came back from the kitchen with drinks. From that point on, the mood was light and cheerful. I just sat back and watched how this family interacted. They are like most families, I guess. Since it is just my sister and myself, except for an uncle and aunt and three cousin's, I really couldn't tell you what a big family is like. Mine though, is quite boisterous and not afraid of speaking their minds on any subject.About an hour went by when Jenny and Alan said their goodbye's. They were going to the football game the next afternoon and wanted to get some sleep. We sat up a bit more with John and Connie, telling a lot of what we did up in the mountains. Well, not everything, or I am sure, he'd have killed me by now.I was getting up, so I could make my leave too, when Carrie asked me to join her in the kitchen. I had no idea what she wanted, but went with the flow and followed her in.“I don't want you going back to your place tonight. You are sleeping with me, unless you don't want too.” she said, giving me her little pouty face she likes to do now and then.“I'm not sure how your parents will feel about that. I don't want to cause any trouble for you, or me either.”Carried just chuckled, “Don't worry about them. I am 41 you know. Plus, me and mom talked out here. She knows you and I have slept together from almost the beginning of us meeting. She is fine with it, and she'll take care of dad. As she put it, “That boy is over the moon for you Honey. Treat him good and he'll treat you like a queen.” So don't worry. But, we can't play around. That would be too weird.” and we both laughed softly at that.Carrie then grabbed my hand and walked towards the stairs, to go upstairs. “Night you two” she said as she passed by them. Her mom said night, but Chief just grunted something. I am pretty sure I will get an earful, next time we are alone.Once in the bedroom, Carrie went to her dresser and opened a drawer, pulled out pajamas. They were blue, red, and white checkerboard style print. She said she went shopping today and got these. She is wearing the top and the bottoms were for me. She stripped down to just her panties, which for once, were not thong style. She still looked sexy as all get out. I stripped too to my boxers and t-shirt. She then went to the bathroom and came out a few minutes later. I followed suit and did my business. She let me know there was a toothbrush on the sink for me, that she just got too.When I came back out, she was already in bed and awaited me. I crawled in next to her. We kissed and held each other close. Like I said when the first time we slept in a bed together, I could definitely get used to this.“Mark Honey. I need to apologize for yesterday. I was so wrong to try and push you away from me. I would have been crushed had you just said  okay, and left. But you didn't. That told me right there how much you love me. So thank you for being here for me. I love you Mark. It grows stronger every minute of the day. I wish right now we could make love, but until I know what is really up with this, we're going to have to take a rest from that. I hope you understand.”I leaned in and kissed her forehead and pulled her tighter to me. God, I love the way she feels.“Sweetheart, you need not apologize for anything. It has to be a shock to you, that is for sure. But, I will always be there for you, no matter what. We'll see this through, together. As for making love right now. This is making love, I believe. The sex is just the icing on the cake, so to speak. Plus, if you think I would have sex with you, with your parents just down the hall, you are crazy.”Carrie was just about to say something, when we both heard a light thumping sound. I started to chuckle, but Carrie said shush. It was definitely a rhythm thump going on.I chuckled and said, “You're kidding right?” Carrie laughed quietly and said, “Oh yeah. I think dad and mom are doing the horizontal hula. Trust me Hun. As far back as I can remember, they are one horny couple. I hope when I am their age, I still want it that much.”Carrie's hand reached under the waistband of my bottoms and boxers and started playing with Mr. happy. “God, I wish this was inside me now. “ She stroked it a few times so it was now almost hard. Then she rolled over on her side, so we could spoon. I too lay on my side and pulled her into me, so our bodies melded together. My hardness nestled up against her beautiful ass, which she then wiggled a bit. My arm lay over her and rested on her tummy. She took that hand and brought up, and inside her top and placed it on her one tit. My hand instantly enveloped her tit and held it gently. “God. I love your hand there” she cooed. “Night Mark. I love you” “I love you too Carrie”To be continued, by T. Foxal.

I denne episoden gjør vi en norsk gjennomgang av vårt spennende intervju med Danielle Hamilton. Hun er en fremtidsrettet og ledende stemme innenfor metabolsk helse, blodsukkerregulering og døgnbiologi.Danielle kombinerer funksjonell ernæring med naturlige biohacks som lys, døgnrytme, grounding og sesongbasert mat, og hun viser oss hvordan helse kan gjenopprettes ved å leve mer i takt med naturens signaler.I episoden snakker vi blant annet om:– Hvorfor lys er informasjon, ikke bare energi.– Hvordan morgenlys styrker hormonbalansen og forbedrer insulinfølsomhet.– Hvor skadelig blått lys etter solnedgang faktisk er og hva du kan gjøre med det.– Hvordan sollys påvirker blodsukker, blodtrykk og søvn.– Hva det betyr å få en “solar callus” og hvorfor du ikke bør bruke solkrem de første 20 minuttene i solen.– Hvorfor grounding/jording virker antiinflammatorisk.– Hvorfor Danielle mener at du ikke trenger å fikse kroppen din men heller fjerne forstyrrelsene.Vi deler også våre egne erfaringer med å implementere Danielles prinsipper i hverdagen og ferien og hvordan enkel biohacking med lys, rytme og naturkontakt kan gi deg bedre søvn, stabilt blodsukker og økt energi.Danielles tre «non negotiables»: -Morgenlys hver dag-unngå kunstig lys etter solnedgang -spise ekte mat.Perfekt episode for deg som:– Er nysgjerrig på døgnbiologi og lys som helbredelse– Vil stabilisere blodsukkeret og hormonene på naturlig vis– Trenger konkrete, enkle biohacks som faktisk fungerer– Er klar for å leve i takt med naturens rytmerVi er stolte av at et helt kapittel i boken BIOHACKING er dedikert til døgnrytme og lys og denne episoden gir deg mange praktiske verktøy du kan ta med deg rett ut i sommerferien.Boken vår BIOHACKING, den finner du her:https://www.ark.no/produkt/boker/hobbyboker-og-fritid/biohacking-9788205611474Nysgjerrig på neste Biohacking Weekend 21 og 22 mars 2026?

Hva er seksuell helse og hvordan påvirkes psyken vår av intimitet og nærhet?I denne episoden skal vi gå i dypet på seksuell helse og hvordan dette henger sammen med vår psykiske helse. Du får møte de entusiastiske, engasjerte og kunnskapsrike fagpersonene Anders og Bianca. De deler innsikt og kunnskap fra hvordan de har jobbet med mennesker og par i ulike deler av systemet. De er spesielt opptatt av hvordan intimitet og nærhet ofte ikke inngår naturlig i vårt samfunnsuttrykk for sex, og hvordan dette skaper utfordringer for både par og single. Ikke minst forventningene og narrativet som skapes gjennom et økt fokus på sex i pop-kulturen, som har enda større slagkraft på oss gjennom internett og sosiale medier. Noe som ofte skaper unødvendig skam og stigma som hindrer mange i å fokusere på koblingen mellom god seksuell helse og psyken. En area der mange av oss kanskje har mye å hente, fordi viktigheten av nærhet og intimitet for oss som de sosiale vesenene vi er, er ofte en glemt kraft.Sammen med Jimmy snakker de om hvordan vi som samfunn kan øke bevissthet rundt hva god seksuell helse er for å hjelpe oss å koble mer på i møte med både uroen og stresset mange føler på.Anders Røyneberg jobber med sexologisk rådgivning og har 15 års erfaring innenfor sexologi og psykisk helse fra ulike deler av systemet. Han har utdanning innen psykiatrisk sykepleie fra OsloMet, med videreutdanning innen sexologi og traumeterapi fra Universitetet i Agder. Han brenner ekstra for faget og underviser i sexologi ved UiA, og han var styremedlem i Norsk forening for klinisk sexologi og terapi. Anders skriver og engasjerer seg rundt sex, seksuell helse og livet, både som forfatter, foredragsholder og fast spaltist i A-Magasinet og Aftenposten. På toppen av dette er han agronom og kjent for mange som planteinfluenser på instagram.Bianca Schmidt jobber som gestaltterapeut, parterapeut, veileder og sexolog og har mer enn 30 års erfaring i bransjen. Hun har vært en drivkraft i feltet og var med å etablere Gestaltsenteret i 1996. Hun engasjerer seg ekstra rundt faget og har skrevet i VG som fast sex- og samlivspaltist i mer enn 10 år. Hun har også gjestet ulike TV-programmer og andre medier som GMN på TV2, “Trekant” på TV3, og “Gullungene” på TVNorge.

Den ene part kom med metroen. Den anden fløj fra Aalborg. De mødtes på et lufthavnshotel i Kastrup. Nogenlunde sådan kan indledningen til Nykredits opkøb af Spar Nord lyde. I femte og sidste episode af vores sommerserie har vi sat Merete Eldrup i stævne. Hun var som formand for Nykredit helt central i opkøbet af Spar Nord. Hvordan forløb det egentlig? Og synes hun også, det var startskuddet til en bankkrig, som flere talte om? Og hvordan jonglerer man lige sådan et stort opkøb samtidig med, at man også lige skal finde en ny rektor til KU - hvor hun også er formand? Vi taler om balancen i en mangefacetteret bestyrelsesportefølje. Blandt andet om besøgstider - hvornår hun tjekker ind - og så sandelig også, hvornår hun tjekker ud. Alt det og meget mere i sidste afsnit af sommerserien. Lyt til de fire første afsnit, hvis du har misset dem - og ellers er vi tilbage i studiet mandag d. 4. august. Vært: Ulrik Rosenkvist Schultz. Fast gæst: Sune Aagaard. Medvirkende: Merete Eldrup, formand for Nykredit.

Carrie and Mark settle in to everyday life.by T. Foxal. Listen to the ► Podcast at Connected.“Oh Mark. I have never been made love to like that ever. It was perfect. Everything you have done so far has been perfect for me. I don't think you have one selfish bone in your body. I need to know though, are you scared of all of this?”“Carrie, I have never been more scared in my life. Not even over in the sandpit, with bullets flying all around. Had you not said I love you back to me, when I made my declaration, I would have been crushed. I've never, ever let anyone into my heart, like I have let you in. Am I scared now? A little. I know you said it the other night. Well, you told me to catch up with you because you were already there. But over time, I thought you may have some misgivings for saying, since we were in the heat of the moment then. But all the little things you have been doing, or saying, led me to believe you really were. And, I wanted to make it special for you. This whole day when you weren't around me, all I could think of was you. I wondered what you were thinking when you took your bath before, or what you were doing and thinking when you left this morning. Let's face it, we haven't been alone with our own thoughts for a week now.”She leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips, then said, “Mark. I knew from that first kiss. Then when we made love the first time, I was in heaven. It wasn't sex between us. It was more. Since that time, we have done nothing but make love and my heart races every time I see you. I was so scared when I said that the other night. Did I push you away from me? Would you just say, screw this, I'm outta here. But the big thing for me was when we were at the winery, and you went up to the bar to get us those samples. Your eyes smiled at me the whole time. You didn't even look at that girl, who I thought was really hot, but just kept looking at me. You made love to me right then. Am I scared. Yes. I want this more than anything, but I don't want to be hurt again. I lived that. But, you are not him. You are so much more than he could ever be. I was eye candy for him, and a fuck, and nothing more. My heart is now yours, please don't hurt it.”I rolled to my side and looked deep into her hazel eyes, then kissed her. “You know what turned me on the most today?” “No, Baby, I don't” “When I saw you after you came back from your day in town. My God, you looked so sexy and stunning to me. You are such a beautiful woman, and not just physically, but all around. I wanted to take you then, but then that would have downplayed this evening. I never tried to be romantic with anyone before, and I so wanted to seduce you tonight.”She giggled. “Well Mr. Marine. You succeeded in every way tonight. I'll tell you. When I saw the robe, then the candles lit by the bathtub, I got super horny. I wanted you so bad then. Then when I shaved down there, I felt incredibly sexy. I even came after that. But when we took off our robes and I saw you in those boxers, I damn near raped you. But dancing really did me in. I almost told you then I loved you. But I am glad I waited now.”As she talked, her hand was now on my cock, stroking it back to life. When I was hard again, she leaned in and kissed me, then pushed me to my back. She kneeled and straddled me and slowly sat down on me, engulfing me with her velvet like inner walls of her sex.“Baby?” she whispered. “This has been an amazing night. But now I need to be a little naughty. A couple should be able to let loose some and enjoy sex too. I love lovemaking, but I also love to fuck Mark. But only with someone I want to give myself too, completely. I want to fuck your beautiful cock. I want to feel your cum spray deep inside me and, I want cum all over it. Fuck me Baby. Make me your Lover.”I arched my back up and drove in deep in her. “Oh Fuck. You are so deep.” She started moving up and down, faster and faster. “Oh god I love this. My favorite position too.”She leaned down and started smothering me with kisses. Moaning as we fucked. I did too. Her head slipped to the side of mine and whispered. “You like my tight little cunt, don't you Babe. Your cock is a perfect fit for it. My cunt loves your cock. Oh God Mark. ““Oh God Babe. Your cunt is so tight. I love it and always will. Fuck me Carrie.”She sat up and started grinding hard on me now. Neither of us was going to last long. I sat up and took her one tit in my mouth and sucked hard.“Oh Christ. Suck my tits Baby. I Love that so much”She started pounding me harder now, as I continued sucking it, then switched to the other. Her arm went behind my head and pulled me in tighter. My hands were holding her luscious ass as I did this. My one hand went exploring and touched her ass, which made her moan really loud. I slipped it down to her cunt and got it wet as the finger rubbed against her lips and my cock. Then I brought it up to her brown hole and slipped it in.“Oh Fuck Baby. Yes. God I love you”She started cumming a minute later. Her head and body shook as she came hard, but somehow, she maintain the rhythm we had going. I was now getting close myself and could feel my balls tighten up, signaling my impending orgasm. “Oh Shit Carrie, I'm going to cum” I yelled out.She slammed down one last time, and then jumped off. Her mouth was over my cock in no time and was starting to suck me, when I erupted in her mouth. I had to have shot 5 or 6 good ropes into her hungry mouth. She didn't spill a drop, except at the end, a little dribbled out the side.She was kneeling now, getting ready to wipe her mouth, when I grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her to me and I licked it off of her face and then kissed her. The kiss was so hot and passionate. We were lost in that kiss for minutes, until she broke away, panting hard.We both lay on our backs now, still in a euphoric bliss from our love making. Carrie was very quiet. At first I thought she fell asleep, until I felt her hand grasp mine and squeeze it.“Are you  okay Carrie?”, I asked. “Actually, I am on cloud nine, as they say. I've never been made love too, like this, then opening up and letting go like that. I just hope you don't think I am some sort of slut. I want to explore all there is with you sexually and lovingly too.”“Babe. You are hardly a slut. Sex to me, is supposed to be fun too. You were amazing. But our love making, well, it's beyond words. To me, you are an angel. Quite the lady too. In bed, we can do whatever we please, as long as we both agree on whatever we do. One thing though, I can never share you with anyone. I don't believe I get jealous, but I could never share you with anyone, man or woman. I knew a couple in the service that did that. Got into swinging. No way. Not with someone I love and respect, like I do you. But just so you know, I really enjoyed the naughty Carrie. She is fun.”“Umm.. I may have to let her out more often then. Cuz naughty Markie, was turning me on too. But, you will never have to fear me wanting another. I am quite happy with who I am with. I will never deny you in bed either. Except, when I am sick, or you are sick. Sex just doesn't seem like fun then. But that's about it.”“Yeah, being sick and wanting sex, just doesn't seem to go hand in hand. I will never deny you as well. But, I'm a guy, so the prospect of me saying no is quite low.”She giggled, then said, “Well. Mister. You better never hold out in the oral department anymore. Oh Christ. That was unbelievable. I could take that all day long. And, I love giving too. I love how you taste.”“You're turning me on again Honey. How do you feel right now?” I asked“Horny” she giggled then. “Honestly. And don't freak when I say this. But I feel as though I am on a Honeymoon and you took your virgin bride to sexual highs she never knew existed.”I did chuckle. “Nothing wrong with that. To me, you are a virgin, or at least were. I don't care about your past. You are my first, and dare I say, only love for me.”“I like that” she replied. Then said, “Where do you see us in a year?”“Honestly. I never look to the future too much. But, I have been lately. I hope that you will be with me in a year, and maybe, just maybe, if you haven't tired of my Jarhead ass, we are right back here, spending it as a true honeymoon”She folded into my arms and kissed my cheek. “I think that could be a real possibility. This Squid actually has thought about it, and she doesn't think she'll ever tire of you. Piss me off at times, Yes, but never tire.”I then laughed, and she asked what was funny. “God, if your Dad could see us right now. He'd hang me.”“Nah. He knows I like you a great deal. He doesn't know we professed love yet. But he does like you, Mom told me that. Jenny knows too. I talked with her this morning. I sent her a selfie, after I got my hair done. She called right after seeing it. Then she starts out by saying, “Damn Mom, you look hot. I think someone is in love.” She's a pretty smart girl actually. I was supposed to face time with her earlier, but someone had me a tad busy. She wants to see you and talk with you.”“Oh great. She's the one person that scares me the most, and I want on my side. More so, than even your parents. Go ahead and call her now. It's only 10pm.”She giggled again. “Uh No. We better wait until tomorrow. This is the first time her and her boyfriend Alan have been alone for a long time. He was with his family last weekend. They have dated for a year now, so I am pretty sure, they are in the same place you and I are right now, naked and in bed.”“You  okay with that? I asked. “Oh yes. I like him a lot. He treats her with so much respect and I know they love one another. He's a good kid and dotes after Jenny. His world revolves around her. He is studying to become a food scientist. If they can last the ups and downs of college and still remain in love, I could easily see them married one day. Only time will tell. And don't worry about her liking you, she will. She knows I do, and so far have made me extremely happy.”She got up then and walked to the bathroom. Then came back with our robes. “Let's go cuddle on the couch, enjoy some wine and TV, before we call it a night.” And so we did.Chapter 15.It was morning now, almost 8:30. I never sleep this late. The only reason I was up was because I had to pee so bad. Carrie was still sound asleep. She was curled up and looked so peaceful. My thought was, “What in God's name does she see in me. I'm nobody special. Yes, I am in good shape and I do treat her with respect, but she is absolutely beautiful and had I known of her, somewhere else, I would have never even attempted to approach her. I wasn't in her league, or so I thought”But here I am, one week after meeting her, and totally in love. I could not even fathom life without her in it. But reality would soon be creeping up on us. I knew she would be leaving mid-week. Would this all end after she left, and had time to really think this through? Only time will tell.I padded to the kitchen and made coffee. As it brewed I stood looking out the back door window. The skies were an ugly gray. Rain was falling. We knew this was coming, after viewing the weather report last night. Today and tomorrow, rain.I then toasted a few bagels, and got out the cream cheese. Made us both coffee, and took it to the bedroom. As I walked in, Carrie was yawning and stretching. Her tit were in plain view, and look so delicious to me. She sat up, not bothering to cover up. “Good sign” I thought.“Good Morning Sweetheart. I thought you may enjoy some breakfast in bed” I said to her.“Oh Wow. I could definitely get used to this. Especially if you lose that robe.”We sat and enjoyed our breakfast. We also started talking about this coming week. Since it was raining today, we decided to go into town and take in a movie and then dinner at some restaurant. On Monday, we were to hike Algonquin Peak, but if it is raining, we'll need to find something else to do.She then said, “You know I leave Wednesday. I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday that I made months ago, and I can't reschedule. It just takes so long to get in to see her.”“I know you were leaving then. But, I also am going to leave that day, with you. No sense hanging around here. Be bored to death, and I know me, all I'll think of is you the whole time.”“Awe. You are so sweet to me. But this is your vacation and you had it all planned out. Stay and at least hike some more of these mountains. I'll feel bad if you miss out on that.” she said with a pouty face.I just smiled at her and told her no, it was best I do head home. I had some major cleaning to do at my place. The house I have is actually an older farm house that was my grandparents. My grandmother outlived my mom and when she died, it was left to me and Ann. Ann didn't want it, so to be fair, I paid her the half she would have received, if we had sold it.The house was nice, but very outdated. Even the furniture was from the 60's. To me, it was cool, but my needs are simple. Ann has been bugging me for almost a year now to at least get some new furniture, if not update the whole place. My office is actually the dining room.I tell you this because I have never brought anyone there, especially a date. So bringing Carrie there, as it looks right now, is totally out of the question. As I told her this, she just laughed. She asked if I keep it clean, or was I a typical guy, and let things go until I can't stand it anymore. I told her I always keep it clean, it's just very outdated.“You big lug, I don't care about stuff like that. I will care if it smells like the gym on board a ship smells like. That is so gross.” and we both laughed.We finished our coffee and bagels, and set our cups and napkins on the nightstand. She pulled the cover down and asked me to slide in. We started kissing and making out some, when her phone rang. “Perfect timing” I thought. She looked at the phone and said, “It's Jenny. Hope all is alright. She is never up this early.”“She hit some button and I saw Jenny's face appear on the screen. Luckily, Carrie had the sheet up above her tit, and I was safely off to the side.“Hi Sweetheart”“Hi Mom. Hope I am not disturbing you.”“No Sweetie. You're good. We were just having breakfast.”“Oh. In bed too. I take it Marine guy is nearby.”Carrie laughed, “If you must know young Jen, he is right here, and his name is Mark, not Marine guy. But you knew that” “Hey just giving you a hard time. Hi Mark.” Carrie moved the phone over to where I could see her and she see me. I had just put the robe back on, so I was decent.“Hi Jenny. Very nice to meet you. I must say, you are as pretty as your mother.”Jen smiled; “Thank you. I hope to get to meet you when you two get back from your little vacation.”“I would say that is a very good possibility, unless your Mom gets rid of me by then. Lots of mountain tops she could push me off of, up here.” I said with a laugh.Carrie turned the phone back to her and said, “What did you two do this weekend? Is Alan still there?”Jen smiled this sly smile “Yeah. He is still asleep. We went to dinner and a late movie, then came back here. The main reason I am calling is that Papa called a bit ago, or I'd be sleeping too. He and grandma are coming up next weekend”My eyes got real big, but Carrie just chuckled, “That's great. When are they coming in?”“Friday evening, and staying here for a few days, then going to aunty Bev's for a few days. And Mark. Papa had a message for you. “Don't crap where you eat son.” He said you'd understand completely.”I just shook my head. Great. He's gonna shit when he hears his daughter and I are now dating.Carrie was laughing now. Jen wanted to know what that was about. Carrie said she'd tell her when she sees her this week. They carried on for a few more minutes as Jen filled her in on stuff. Now Jen did look somewhat similar to her mom, from what I could see on the phone. That same light caramel color, with long flowing brown hair, and a gorgeous smile. Alan should consider himself a very lucky man. They signed off then after saying goodbye's and Jen saying bye to me too, telling me to take very good care of her mother, or else.I asked, “Are you sure she isn't your blood daughter? You two look so much alike.”“I wish she was. But No. Her parents were Puerto Rican, so the skin color is close. She shorted too, only 5 foot 3. She is an angel. You think Dad dotes over me? Wait till you see him around Jenny. I feel bad for Alan. He's met Dad twice now and is scared shitless of him. But Daddy wants only the best for his girls.”“Yeah, well, I am wondering now what is he going to say about us being together. He still scares the shit out of me.”She laughed, “Oh I don't know. I'll let you know after I tell him how you been having your way with me this whole week.” then laughed some more. She then opened his robe, grabbed his semi stiff member and stroke it.She giggled, the looked at him and stated, “Umm, I wonder what he'd say if he knew I was doing this.”, as she lowered her head to my manhood and sucked the head in.“Oh God Carrie.”The PromiseCarrie and Mark settle in to everyday life, once they return from their week and a half camping and hiking trip, after finding love in those mountains.I asked, “Are you sure she isn't your blood daughter? You two look so much alike.”“I wish she was. But No. Her parents were Puerto Rican, so the skin color is close. She shorter too, only 5 foot 3.. She is an angel. You think Dad dotes over me? Wait till you see him around Jenny. I feel bad for Alan. He's met Dad twice now and is scared shitless of him. But Daddy wants only the best for his girls.”“Yeah, well, I am wondering now what is he going to say about us being together. He still scares the shit out of me.”She laughed, “Oh I don't know. I'll let you know after I tell him how you been having your way with me this whole week.” then laughed some more. She then opened my robe, grabbed my semi stiff member and stroke it.She giggled, the looked at him and stated, “Umm, I wonder what he'd say if he knew I was doing this.”, as she lowered her head to my manhood and sucked the head in.“Oh God Carrie.”Chapter 16.The rest of that day, and into Monday, it did nothing but rain. So exploring any of the mountain tops was curtailed. We pretty much hung around the cabin in just our robes that day. The only time we dressed was to go to dinner, down into town. Neither of us felt like cooking. It was very hard for me to resist getting Carrie naked and just making love all day, but she needed to know that our relationship, that we both professed our love for each other, was more than just a physical thing, but also emotional.You see Carrie is a very beautiful woman. She is 5 foot 7, 130 pounds, with caramel colored skin, almost like Halle Berry skin tone. Her hair is short now too, with blonde highlights mixed in with her brown hair. Totally sexy in my eyes. She has amazing legs that are long and toned and a great ass. What turns me on the most is her tits. They are a large A, or small B cup. I love a woman with small tits.I am 5 foot 10, 175 pounds, and been told by many, a handsome man. I keep in shape, and that is because after spending 20 years in the Marines, you get used to working out. It's just ingrained into your fabric. I was single too, for all of those years. Never had a serious relationship, except for a semi one, back in my 20's, when I lived with a girl for a few months. But she didn't enjoy my deployments too much and wanted more. It was mostly a sex thing for us, and a place for us both to crash, when we were screwing.But now, a week and a half later, I am totally in love with this goddess, and she with me as well. What is funny too, I know her parents, or to be more specific, her father. He was a Master Chief in the Navy, and was on the aircraft Carrier Lincoln at the same time I was, years ago, when I was a Staff Sergeant in the Marines. Great guy too, but could scare the hell out of you. Carrie too, was in the Navy back then, but I do not think we ever crossed paths, since she worked on base, and, was also married back then to a Seal, which she now divorced from.Like I said earlier, we only got dressed that Sunday for dinner, then that Monday, a day we were supposed to visit another Adirondacks peak, it rained as well. We did go driving around and admired the countryside and had a fine dinner at the Italian restaurant we found the previous week.Then on Tuesday, we decided to go horseback riding. We found a place about 20 minutes from the cabin, near Lake Clear. We had a great time exploring the area by horseback. I have to admit, my ass was quite sore by the time we got through, as was Carrie's. There was a few times I would hang back, behind her and admire her ass as it bounced up and down in the saddle.She looked back one time and caught me. “God, don't you ever tire of looking at my big ass?”I just chuckled and told her, “Hell No. I love your ass, and it is hardly big. Remind me later to massage it for you, because if mine is sore, I know yours has to be.”“Maybe I will let you. Not sure if I want you touching it later. Now get up her next to me.” then whispered to me, after I got close, “You be a good boy, and I'll let you see it naked later.”, then laughed and rode away from me.After our ride, we stopped in this tavern that also featured home cooked meals. We both decided on burgers and fries. Normally, we both try to stay away from fried foods, but, as we both found out from talking, we like to cheat on occasion.By the time we got back to the cabin, nighttime was upon us and this was our last night together. I know we both pledged our love to one another, but after tonight, she may get a dose of reality when she got back home, and say, “No way” to being in a relationship. For me, I was all in. I never wanted anything more in my life, than to be with this beautiful, smart, witty and energetic woman.After getting into the cabin, I started a fire in the fireplace and Carrie went off to the bedroom, to get ready to shower. After I had a nice fire going, she came out in her robe and asked me to join her. As we washed each other down, removing the horse smell from our bodies, we kissed and held each other. We both took turns drying each other, then donned our robes and made our way to the couch. Before I sat down, I went and got us each a glass of wine.“Mark?” she said, and I looked at her. She had a tear on her cheek, for which I lightly brushed away. “What's wrong Honey?” I asked.“This is our last night here. This has been the best vacation I have ever experienced. Had you told me two weeks ago that I would meet the man of my dreams, I would have said you are so full of shit. But here I am, sitting next to you. I am so in love with you and I am also scared silly about tomorrow.” she explainedI knew what she meant, when she said she is scared. I am too. We get back to our real lives and the fantasy just fades away. She was deeply hurt all those years ago and opening up and allowing someone in, has to be tough for her to do. For me, it is a new experience. One I have never had before. If it does end, it will hurt, but I know I can move on from it, I think.“Carrie. I'm scared too. Once we are home and reality sets in for you, you may say, screw this. I have never opened up to anyone in my life, except for you. I just hope that you will grow with me. I'm going to make mistakes. You may want something, but I'm too stupid to know and understand, but like anything in life, you learn. One thing I will promise you and this is I will always be true to only you. I love you and will never do anything to hurt you.”“Oh Mark. No man has ever made me feel this way. We'll take each day as it comes and just know I will never hurt you as well. But be forewarned now, I can get bitchy. I don't mean to be, but it happens and when it does, just leave me be, and I will be fine. I think the hardest part of tomorrow is going to be not being with you, especially at night. After a week of sharing a bed together, and feeling so close to you, it is going to suck not having your arms around me tomorrow night, or this weekend. If I didn't have that appointment Thursday, I'd let you stay with me tomorrow, but I know us, we make love, and since this is a gynecologist I am seeing, sex wouldn't be the most prudent thing for me to do. And then this weekend, with my parents in town, I'm not sure what they'd say about us sleeping together.”I laughed, “Yeah, I could just see the look on your dad's face when we told them goodnight and padded off to bed. As for sex. We don't always have to have it you know. I mean I'll never turn it down, but I also know there is more to us than just sex. But tomorrow after we get home, and then at night, we'll probably both be too tired to do anything. Plus, like I said, I need to straighten up the place. One thing though. On Thursday, I would like to take you and Jenny to dinner, Alan too. That way, she has someone there who she is comfortable with, just in case she can't stand me.”“Oh Stop. She is going to love you. I'll call her tomorrow and set it up. Now! Take me to bed for the last time here and hold me Baby. I want to fall asleep in your arms.”Chapter 17.We got up early for some reason, and took a shower together. I still marvel at this exceptionally beautiful woman. She makes my heart race anytime I am near here. And when we are naked, it quadruples in magnitude. We did not have sex, but we did hold and caress each other until the water started turning cold.We were then packed and on our way home. She drove in front of me for the next 4 hours. We did talk on the phone a couple of times. The last time was just before my exit, which is a couple before hers. I called her and told her I would call her later and that I loved her. I could hear in her voice, a hitch, just like I had in mine. I missed her already and I had just exited from the roadway.Once I was home, I did a load of laundry, then went and started dusting and vacuuming the place. Not a thing I do a lot of. Of course my sister always comes over and does it at times, and bitches me out when she does. I then cut the grass, which was needed after two weeks of not touching it. It takes two hours to cut this lawn, and that's with a tractor. While I was cutting, I did miss a call from Carrie. She also texted me, just saying she was thinking of me and loved me. I texted back apologizing that I didn't answer her and explained why, and that I would call her later.We did talk around 6 that evening. She too was busy with housework and laundry. She strip the beds, not knowing which bed Jenny and Alan slept in. I had to laugh at that. She chuckled too but said, “It's one thing to sleep in our wet spot, but I'm surely not sleeping in theirs.” Which made me laugh hard.About 10 that night, I called her. She was lying in bed, reading a book. She conveyed to me that Jenny was ecstatic over meeting us for dinner and really happy I had included Alan. They were going to meet us at Carrie's at 6pm tomorrow. I told Carrie we would try Delmonico's Steakhouse, which was kind of close to her.She chuckled and said, “Oh fancy place. You know, you don't have to take us there. There's a nice restaurant right down the street from us.”“That's cool. But I want too. How many college kids can go to a place like this. Plus I have always wanted to try it, but, I'm not going alone. Ann said the food is excellent there.”“Speaking of Ann, did you call her and inform her that you are bringing someone Sunday?” she asked.“Oh yeah. She is so excited now. She can't wait to meet you. I told her that your parents were going to be in from Florida and I didn't know what plans they had that day. She said to bring them along too. The more the merrier.”Carried giggled, then said, “I don't know if your sister has a clue what Dad can be like. Just don't bring up politics. He thinks they are all thieves and liars.” which made me laugh.Then she got quiet. “Anything wrong? You are quiet now “ She sighed, “No, just missing lying next to you, with your arms around me. I feel so safe then. I love you Mark”“I love you too, Carolyn, and I do miss being with you. It was a very long day without you near me.” I told her.“It was a long day for me as well. I don't know how or why this happened between us, but I am so happy that you are in my life now. Maybe tomorrow night, you can spend it here with me, if you want too.” she said.“I think that can be arranged. You know what I do miss? You calling me Jarhead. When you say it, it means something to me.”“I told you, after last weekend, I was done calling you that, but if you insist, I'll just call you JH.”“I insist Squid. Now get some sleep. Just know, I love you Carrie and I am holding you in my dreams tonight.”Chapter 18.I knew Carrie had an appointment at 11am, so I didn't want to bother her, but did send her a text, after I got up and said good morning and I love you. She replied instantly to it, saying she was about to shower and get ready and she loved me too.I was pretty proud of myself. I dusted and swept the whole house. Not that I am a slob, but those are two jobs I really don't enjoy doing. Hell, living alone and never having people over, except for my sister, afforded me the luxury of not caring too much to do that. But with Carrie in my life, I guess I need to change my way of thinking.I then immersed myself in a project that I had been working on for this one company. I needed to do something to keep my mind occupied, since I would not be seeing her until later in the afternoon. I was surprised though, that by 3pm, I hadn't heard anything from her. I hope all went well with her doc appointment.I had told her that I would be over by 5:30, so we could spend some time alone, before Jenny and Alan showed up. By 4:30, I was shaved, and showered, then dressed for the evening. Since it was cool out, I wore dark blue pants, and lighter blue shirt, with a dark blue sport coat. I wanted to look good for when I met Jenny, and convey, I'm not some unkempt slob, who was dating her mother. I'm generally a jeans and t-shirt, or sweatshirt, kind of guy.I couldn't stand the wait any longer and decided to arrive a bit sooner. I got to her house at 5:15, so just a little bit early. After ringing the doorbell a few times, Carrie finally opened the door. Although she smiled when she let me in, I could tell something was amiss with her. After a brief hug and quick kiss on the lips, we stood back from one another.Carrie was wearing a burgundy pleated dress. It came to just above the knees. The neckline plunged just a bit, with white lace around the edges, with short sleeves as well. She looked radiant.“Wow. You look absolutely beautiful Sweetie.” I told her. She just said thanks, but that was it. Then said she had to finish getting ready. My antennae was now up. I could sense something was wrong. This girl was always so bubbly, and that definitely was not the case now. So I just walked around her living room, looking at pictures on the wall of Jenny, and her parents, and some people I had no clue of who they were. Then just took a seat and waited for her.For me, this was something new. I did not know what to say or do. Did I do something wrong, that may have upset her? Who knew, but this was not the Carrie I just spent almost two weeks with, had fun with, and made love too on many occasions. So I'm basically a fish out of water now. I made up my mind to just go with the flow, and when she is ready to talk, I'll be there, and hopefully, understand what is going on.Of course, my fear was she was going to end this between us. She had time to reflect and said that this wasn't worth it. If that is how she felt, then who was I to pursue it any further. I don't want to be with someone who did not want the same as me. Sitting there waiting, makes your mind think weird ass things, like I just did. Then again, maybe it wasn't anything and she is just having a bad day, or is nervous about me meeting Jenny.She finally emerged from wherever she was in her condo. When I saw her, she looked the same, so I have no idea what else she could have been doing. She walked into her kitchen and got a bottle of water, then asked if I wanted one too, which I kindly said no too.I finally got the courage to ask, “Is there something wrong?”She looked at me and had a sullen look on her face, then finally said “No. Guess I am just tired from all the prodding and poking today. I'm sorry I am not more upbeat.”I got up and went to her and wrapped my arms around her, “If you want to cancel tonight, that would be okay with me. We keep go out with them some other time, when you are feeling more up to it.”“No. No. I am fine. It will be fine. We'll go have a fun night with them. Jenny is so looking forward to meeting you.” she said, as she pulled away from me and went into the living room. “We'll talk later tonight, when we get back.”I knew from how she stated it, something was wrong. But, being a dumb man, I have no clue as to what. I didn't want to piss her off by asking questions. Maybe something at the doc's. I guess when she is ready, she will let me know. I walked up next to her and grabbed her hand, just to let her know I was there for her. At that point, her front door opened and in walked Jenny and Alan.Jenny was definitely a looker. I would say 5 foot 3, maybe 110 pounds, brown hair and eyes, and the cutest dimples. She did have bigger boobs than her mom, but since she was adopted, that made sense. But the irony of how much the two looked alike was uncanny. Alan was a good looking guy too. He had that German look to him. Blond hair, blue eyes, chiseled face and stood about 6 foot, but maybe weighed 170 pounds, if that.After making the introductions and some small talk, we left her condo and headed to dinner in my truck.At dinner, Carrie seemed to be her normal self. Well, at least the normal I had seen for the last two weeks. Jenny was regaling us with stories from her college life and some of things her and Alan had been doing of late, except for the sex part. I don't think Carrie, or myself, needed or wanted to know those details.As dinner was finally coming to an end, I had to admit, I was kind of quiet. I just let the three of them guide the evening and the conversation. Jenny did inquire what I actually did for a living, so I explained it to her. She was impressed, as was Alan. I tried not to let my concerns for Carrie, or our budding relationship ruin the evening. In my heart though, I had a bad feeling, this would be the last time I would see these three people.Near the end of dinner, Carrie announced that she needed to use the ladies room. Alan also said he need to use the facility, which then left just me and Jenny. I wasn't sure what to say to her, so I let her make the first move on talking.  “okay Mark. What's up with mom? Did you two have an argument or something?” Jenny asked.I shook my head, “Jenny. I have no idea what is wrong tonight. When I arrived this evening, she was down for some reason and won't tell me why. Yesterday we were fine, but ever since her doctor visit, she has changed. Maybe she has done some thinking and decided a relationship is not what she wants. Until she tells me, I am in the dark.”Jenny reached over and touched my arm. “I don't know either, but I do know that she and I talked last night for an hour and she is head over heels in love with you, and says you are with her as well. Are you Mark? Are you in love with my Mom?”“Nothing has changed for how I feel for your mother Jenny. I am in love with her. But, if she has had a change of heart, then I will abide by her wishes. Maybe we moved too fast. I don't know. To be honest Jenny. I have never been in love before, so this is a new territory for me. But if she had time to reflect now, and feels this isn't what she wants, well, I don't want to force anything like that on her. I just want her happy.”Jenny just shook her head, “I can't believe her mind could change like that. Something must be wrong and she just needs time to process it. Maybe you two can talk later. When we get back to my mom's, Alan and I are going to leave, and give you two some space to talk. Oh, and by the way, Papa really does like you. He thinks you are a good man.”Just as she said that, Carrie was walking back. Alan came a minute later. The waitress came around and asked if any of us wanted dessert, but we all begged off, since our meals were so filling.On the way home, Carrie was pretty quiet. In fact, you could probably cut the tension with a knife, that was between us. Jenny and Alan were pretty quiet too. I'd have done anything to hear some funny story either of them may have had right then.After arriving back at Carrie's condo, we all got out and Jenny said that they needed to get going. Carrie said she wished they could stay longer, but the kids said they had some homework they needed to finish up, but would see us this weekend. Of course my mind didn't think I would be involved with this family get together.As they left, Carrie turned and headed to her door, and I followed. Once inside, she asked if I wanted anything to drink, which I kindly declined. She went to the kitchen and got a bottle of water then rejoined me in the living room. I wanted to get this over with, so I started it off.  “okay Carolyn, please tell me what is wrong. I need to know.” I said in a somber voice.“Let's sit” she said, and we both did. She faced me and I could see a tear starting to form in her eye. My stomach became a knot now. My fears were now becoming reality, at least in my mind.“I wish I knew where to start, but I have to say, that no man has ever made me feel the way you make me feel. But I really think we need to step back and take a break for now.”, then she started crying. I reach for her, but she backed away. That made it feel like a knife was just plunged into my heart.“Carrie. How can you go from being so in love, to wanting to take a break, just like that. There is more than what you are telling me. So please tell me what has caused this sudden change in feelings.”She was still sobbing, trying to get her emotions under control, then finally looked at me and said, “Mark. They found a growth on one of my ovaries today. After the Pelvic exam, she did and ultrasound and found it. They want me to see a specialist next Tuesday then do some testing.” then started crying again. This time she let me pull her towards me. I knew this isn't good, but this is also something that can be taken care of. I had a cousin once have something similar to this and they removed a cyst the size of an egg from her, and she was fine then.“It's  okay Carrie. I'm sure it's nothing that medicine or an operation can't take care of.” I told her.“And what if it isn't Mark? What if it is cancer. Why should you be saddled with that in your life. We've known each other not even two fucking weeks. Although the best two weeks of my life. But this is not something you need to be part of. Your best bet is to turn around, walk away and get on with your life, like I never existed.” and started crying again.I pulled her into me again and held her tight. Her head was buried in my shoulder, and I caressed her hair and let her cry. I mean, if I was in her position, I'd probably tell her the same things. But I may not know her completely, but what I know of her already, she has a fierce loyalty to people she cares for and loves, and I know she wouldn't walk away either.After letting her sob some more, I gently moved her back, and away from me, so I could speak to her. “Sweetheart. There is no way I am letting you do this alone. Granted, we have only known each other for two weeks, but in these two weeks, you have captured my heart with every fiber of your being. I am in love with you Missy. People who love one another don't turn tail and run because of something traumatic happens to the other person. You stand with them, be their support and showed them love, for that is the only thing that can help get you through this. I have been a Marine for all of my adult life and one thing that is ingrained in us, from the time of our first day in boot camp, is that you never let the man next to you, or when you are a sergeant, your platoon, you never abandon them. No man is ever left behind. You're wounded Honey, so I will not leave you behind, so get used to that. When this is all over and you still feel this way, then you can tell me to hit the bricks.”She just stared at me, and while trying to compose herself, she gripped my hand in hers. “It's not fair to you Mark. What if it is cancer and it can't be fixed, then what? You going to just wait around and watch me die? You could be out finding that right person, instead of babysitting me.”“Stop it Carrie. You have no idea what it is. It could be a simple cyst, that meds could take care of. But one thing I do know, I will be with you this Tuesday, and any other day you need to have something done. I will be the first person you see when you wake up. But I will be there and I will always be there for you. I love you.”“Mark. It's not fair.” she shouted, then started crying again. “You're right. It's not fair. But who said life is. But I am not walking away. In fact I am more in love with you now, than I was 20 minutes ago. I don't know about you, but I have every intention of growing old with you. We have too much to do with our lives. So baby doll, I am not leaving you, Not ever.”“Carrie. Do you love me?” I asked. “Damn you Jarhead. You know I do.” she said. “Good. Don't you ever hold back something like this again from me. I won't either from you. But Babe, we can only help one another if we are open and honest with each other. Why don't you go get ready for bed. I'm not going home tonight, but I will sleep on the couch.”She shook her head and got up. As she did, she reached for my hand, “You are not, nor will you ever sleep on the couch. Your place is beside me in bed. I'm so sorry for ever thinking you would want out of this. I do love you Mark. More than you will ever know”She led me up the stairs to her bedroom. We both stripped off of our clothes. I had on the white silk boxers she got me. She put on this long t-shirt with a Minion on the front. She looked cute. We both used her bathroom then climbed into bed, where she snuggled up to me and let me hold her close. Her head rested on my chest.“Mark?” she said softly. “Carrie?” I answered back. “I am sorry. I promise never to do that to you again. I'm also sorry I was a Debbie Downer tonight at dinner, and even before. I'm sure Jenny could tell something was wrong.”“Oh yeah she could. She thought that you and I had an argument. Your daughter is quite perceptive. After meeting her now, I have to say, you two do favor one another. Alan is one lucky man and judging how he dotes on her, he knows it too. They do make a nice couple. I just hope I made a good impression with her. I wasn't to talkative tonight.”“Well, I think you'll get a few more chances this weekend to really win her over. But I can tell she likes you already. If she talks a lot, she likes you. Had she just sat there and not talked much, then that means she doesn't want anything to do with you.”“You know, last night, I was so lonely without you next to me. I hugged my pillow thinking it was you. Except your body is a bit more muscular. I had so many plans for tonight, with us ending the night in bed making love. I want too, but I don't want to do that until we know what is going on down there.”My hand was stroking her back, when I said, “I don't know about you, but this is making love Baby. I'm not in this for the sex. I'm in this because of love. Holding you close, telling our feelings to each other, that is true love making in my book. I'm not too good with stuff like this, but I have never felt this way for another human being. We'll have plenty of time for lovemaking, and dare I say, some naughty sex.”She snuggled even closer and let her hand rub on my chest and belly. “Thank You. You make me feel so loved. I love you Mark. Oh and I like what you wore under your pants. You do look sexy in these boxers.”“I love you too Carolyn. Now get some sleep. We have a long weekend ahead of us. That is if you want me around all the time.”“Of course I want you around the whole time. Not sure about sleeping together. Daddy may have a hard time with that one.” then giggled.Chapter 19.In the morning we agreed to take separate showers instead of together. We both agreed it would be too tempting, had we gone in together. She did tease me though by removing her shirt and slowly saunter into the bathroom, giggling the whole way. I would say My Carrie was back.Her parents flight was due in at 4pm. I told Carrie I needed to catch up on a few things at the house, but would be back in time to go with her to pick them up. She must have texted me twenty times, just saying I love you. That made me feel good.I picked Carrie up at 3pm and went to the airport to meet her parents. She was very happy today. A far cry from yesterday's somber mood she was in. She was wearing a maroon cashmere sweater and black slacks. I too had black slacks on and a blue crew neck sweater. The whole trip there she held my hand, as she did once we were there and waited.Like all airports now, you had to wait down in the baggage area. It took about 10 minutes after their plane arrived, before we saw them coming down the escalator. Once Carrie spotted them, she pulled me along until they were on top of us, and went and hugged her mom, then her dad.Then Mrs. Reynolds gave me a hug and a kiss, and said I still looked like I did when we met in Norfolk all those years ago. Chief shook my hand then said, “You ain't giving me no damn hug son.” I just laughed and told him, “Not in your life you crotchety old bastard.” which made us all laugh.After arriving back at Carrie's, we saw that Jenny was there waiting for us. Alan was with her, but I could see the tension in his face. The old man did scare the shit out of him. I took him aside and told him, just to relax, but show no sign of fear to the chief. He eats that shit up. He sort of laughed and said, oh sure, easier said than done Mr. Roberts. I told him for now on, call me Mark. Save the mister for the other guy.We all then went to dinner, after the couple relaxed a bit after their flight. It was one of those chain restaurants. We all had a good time and of course, Chief had to regale us with stories when I was aboard the Lincoln. That's when Jenny asked about the “don't shit where you eat comment”, but cleaned it up some because of her mom and grandma there. Chief went on to explain about this one newly appointed petty officer I had an eye on. After he finished, everyone laughed, only because he made sound more colorful than it actually was.After we got back to Carrie's, the girls busied themselves in the kitchen, leaving myself, Alan, and the Chief alone in the living room. I could see Alan was a bit apprehensive about being in there. I'm sure he was never prepared for anything like this in college.  “okay you two Shitbirds.” chief started out. “Those three fine ladies in there mean the world to me. And two of them, for some ungodly reason happen to like you two. All I ever wanted for those two is complete happiness. If you can't give them that, leave now, otherwise, I need a promise to never ever hurt them, no matter what.”“You have my word on that Chief. Never doubt that.” I said, as the chief then nodded once to me. Alan then looked at him and said, “Sir, my only intention is to make Jenny happy, so I promise.” Chief just glared at him. Alan was unsure of what he said, but knew he didn't like something. I looked at Alan and said, “Alan. Relax. Just don't call Mr. Reynolds sir. Non Com's, noncommissioned officers, like we both were, do not like getting called sir, by anyone. And Chief, chill out, he isn't military.”Chief just chuckled. “Yeah, and don't call me Mr. Reynolds. Makes me feel old. Call me John for now on, or at least until you guys make it legal between those gals in there, then we'll figure out what you call me then. And Alan, you did good kid. You didn't break, like so many Seaman have, right out of boot camp.” then just smiled.Just then the girls came back from the kitchen with drinks. From that point on, the mood was light and cheerful. I just sat back and watched how this family interacted. They are like most families, I guess. Since it is just my sister and myself, except for an uncle and aunt and three cousin's, I really couldn't tell you what a big family is like. Mine though, is quite boisterous and not afraid of speaking their minds on any subject.About an hour went by when Jenny and Alan said their goodbye's. They were going to the football game the next afternoon and wanted to get some sleep. We sat up a bit more with John and Connie, telling a lot of what we did up in the mountains. Well, not everything, or I am sure, he'd have killed me by now.I was getting up, so I could make my leave too, when Carrie asked me to join her in the kitchen. I had no idea what she wanted, but went with the flow and followed her in.“I don't want you going back to your place tonight. You are sleeping with me, unless you don't want too.” she said, giving me her little pouty face she likes to do now and then.“I'm not sure how your parents will feel about that. I don't want to cause any trouble for you, or me either.”Carried just chuckled, “Don't worry about them. I am 41 you know. Plus, me and mom talked out here. She knows you and I have slept together from almost the beginning of us meeting. She is fine with it, and she'll take care of dad. As she put it, “That boy is over the moon for you Honey. Treat him good and he'll treat you like a queen.” So don't worry. But, we can't play around. That would be too weird.” and we both laughed softly at that.Carrie then grabbed my hand and walked towards the stairs, to go upstairs. “Night you two” she said as she passed by them. Her mom said night, but Chief just grunted something. I am pretty sure I will get an earful, next time we are alone.Once in the bedroom, Carrie went to her dresser and opened a drawer, pulled out pajamas. They were blue, red, and white checkerboard style print. She said she went shopping today and got these. She is wearing the top and the bottoms were for me. She stripped down to just her panties, which for once, were not thong style. She still looked sexy as all get out. I stripped too to my boxers and t-shirt. She then went to the bathroom and came out a few minutes later. I followed suit and did my business. She let me know there was a toothbrush on the sink for me, that she just got too.When I came back out, she was already in bed and awaited me. I crawled in next to her. We kissed and held each other close. Like I said when the first time we slept in a bed together, I could definitely get used to this.“Mark Honey. I need to apologize for yesterday. I was so wrong to try and push you away from me. I would have been crushed had you just said  okay, and left. But you didn't. That told me right there how much you love me. So thank you for being here for me. I love you Mark. It grows stronger every minute of the day. I wish right now we could make love, but until I know what is really up with this, we're going to have to take a rest from that. I hope you understand.”I leaned in and kissed her forehead and pulled her tighter to me. God, I love the way she feels.“Sweetheart, you need not apologize for anything. It has to be a shock to you, that is for sure. But, I will always be there for you, no matter what. We'll see this through, together. As for making love right now. This is making love, I believe. The sex is just the icing on the cake, so to speak. Plus, if you think I would have sex with you, with your parents just down the hall, you are crazy.”Carrie was just about to say something, when we both heard a light thumping sound. I started to chuckle, but Carrie said shush. It was definitely a rhythm thump going on.I chuckled and said, “You're kidding right?” Carrie laughed quietly and said, “Oh yeah. I think dad and mom are doing the horizontal hula. Trust me Hun. As far back as I can remember, they are one horny couple. I hope when I am their age, I still want it that much.”Carrie's hand reached under the waistband of my bottoms and boxers and started playing with Mr. happy. “God, I wish this was inside me now. “ She stroked it a few times so it was now almost hard. Then she rolled over on her side, so we could spoon. I too lay on my side and pulled her into me, so our bodies melded together. My hardness nestled up against her beautiful ass, which she then wiggled a bit. My arm lay over her and rested on her tummy. She took that hand and brought up, and inside her top and placed it on her one tit. My hand instantly enveloped her tit and held it gently. “God. I love your hand there” she cooed. “Night Mark. I love you” “I love you too Carrie”To be continued, by T. Foxal.

Skolegården betyr mye for barns trivsel, lek, læring og helse, men mange norske skolegårder er for små og grå. Vi snakker med eksperter og en rektor som har gjort en vellykket fornyelse, om hvordan uteområdene kan bli bedre tilpasset barnas behov for lek, bevegelse og sosialt samspill.

Hun har dækket krig og konflikter fra Yemen til Ukraine, over Syrien, Afghanistan og Irak i 10 år, og betragter empatien som et lige så vigtigt arbejdsredskab som kamera og computer.

In deze allereerste zomerspecial schuift content queen en JSF-lover @saslookss aan bij Marco voor een heerlijke trip down memory lane. Samen duiken ze in het Junior Songfestival en bespreken:

Sille Andersen flyttede fra sine søskende – så ramte ensomheden. Hun kan huske flyttedagen tydeligt. Hun græd næsten hele vejen til sit nye hjem. Og hun kan huske, at hun prøvede at overdøve savnet ved at blæse ’gå-i-byen-musik’ ud over anlægget. Med 13 år op til sin storebror og 8 år op til sin storesøster har 24-årige Sille Andersen altid været den småirriterende lillesøster og efternøler. Hun har ikke altid været tæt med sine søskende – det er først noget, der er opstået i voksenlivet. Derfor gjorde det også så meget mere ondt, da hun modvilligt besluttede sig for at flytte med sin daværende kæreste fra hjemstavnen og familien. Når en søskendeflok skilles fra barndomshjemmet, er det ikke længere forældrene, der faciliterer relationen. Man skal virkelig ville hinanden og prioritere hinanden. Det taler journalist Marie Maschoreck med kultursociolog Ida Wentzel Winther om her i første del af lydfortællingen Søskendeknuder. For hvad er det egentlig, der sker med søskendebåndet i de situationer, hvor vi bliver tvunget til at tage stilling til, hvad vi vil med relationen?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Den første familie får en ny start Vi lavede en hurtig overflyvning af Superman (det der på nudansk hedder en 101) i forbindelse med den nye film, og da den nye MCU-udgave af Fantastic Four også virker som en form for genstart, så var det oplagt at gøre det samme for den første, største og bedste af alle Marveltegneserier. Men først en lille spoiler-fri anmeldelse... Den nye MCU-film, nummer 37 i rækken, er på mange måder forskellig fra de 36 første i både tone, stil og form. The Fantastic Four var den tegneserie, som startede selve Marvel-universet tilbage i starten af 60'erne, og denne nye filmudgave af Stan Lee og Jack Kirbys grundlæggende klassiker er også på mange måder starten på noget nyt og et håb om genfødsel. Matt Shakman er instruktør, og sammen med Pascal, Kirby, Moss-Bachrach og Quinn – som spiller henholdsvis Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm og Johnny Storm, står han i spidsen for en film, der i høj grad lykkes med sin mission om fornyelse. Vi er på Jord-828, og altså ikke den kendte MCU-jord, hvor vores fire helte er de eneste superhelte og hyldes som globale superstjerner. På denne parallelverden er vi tilbage i 60'erne, i en fuldstændig fantastisk og overvældende retro-teknologisk udgave, som på mange måder er filmens største succes. Feige & Co. har lagt de tidligere MCU-films ”realisme” bag sig og fortæller historien om Galactus, den almægtige planetæder, hans bebudede ankomst til Jorden med store, farvestrålende armbevægelser, og det er langt mere tegneserieagtigt, end vi før har set. Normalt bryder jeg mig ikke om det udtryk, men lige præcis her passer det perfekt til filmen. Hele skuespillerensemblet er, som altid, virkelig velfungerende, men det er Vanessa Kirby som Sue Storm, Den Usynlige Kvinde, der virkelig skiller sig ud. Hun er alt andet end usynlig … Faktisk er hun filmens dramatiske og følelsesmæssige kerne, hvorom alt drejer. Min største anke (forestil dig nu gatekeeper Søndergårds misbilligende stemme) er, at de har kaijuficeret Galactus, og at slutningen på mange måder ligner alle de andre film i MCU-serien. Så jeg er ikke helt oppe at ringe, jeg er måske mere lettet end begejstret, men det skal ikke forhindre mig i at anbefale denne film som et yderst underholdende og meget charmerende skridt i den rigtige retning for MCU. Jeg tror det lykkedes ”To-Gear Søndergård”, at finde et mellemliggende gear, så jeg er spændt hvad du syntes? Rigtig god lyttehygge.

«Politisk propaganda» sender kanskje tankene til nazistenes eller kommunistenes plakater og slagord under og etter andre verdenskrig. I dag er propaganda vanskeligere å få øye på. Kunstig intelligens, trollfabrikker og falske nyheter er bare noen av de mange moderne virkemidlene som brukes av politiske aktører i kampen om å kontrollere opinionen. Putins Russland er alene estimert til å kontrollere over en million falske profiler på sosiale medier, og bruker over 15 milliarder kroner årlig på valgpåvirkning og informasjonskrigføring.Hvordan ser dagens politiske propaganda ut? Hvilke krefter står bak, og hva kan vi gjøre for å forsikre oss om at det vi leser er sant?Kristin Skare Orgeret er professor ved Institutt for journalistikk og mediefag, OsloMet. Her underviser hun i medier og journalistikk og forsker på medienes samfunnsrolle og maktrelasjoner. Hun leder også forskningsgruppa MEKK – medier i krig og konflikt.I dette foredraget vil hun fortelle om noen av propaganda- og desinformasjonskampanjene som omgir oss i dag, og hva vi kan gjøre for å verne oss mot dem.Arrangementet er en del av «I løgnens tid», en foredragsserie viet desinformasjon og propaganda.

Een onbekend juweeltje binnen de Nederlandse vrijmetselarij staat centraal in deze aflevering: de Louisa Stichting. Al 150 jaar lang vormt deze stichting een brug tussen vrijmetselarij en maatschappelijke betrokkenheid. Voorzitter Henk en tweede secretaris Edward nemen ons mee op een reis door de geschiedenis en het heden van deze bijzondere organisatie.Wat ooit begon als een weeshuis voor kinderen van overleden vrijmetselaars is uitgegroeid tot een moderne filantropische stichting die wereldwijd projecten steunt voor kinderen in moeilijke omstandigheden. Van het slaan van waterputten bij scholen in Ghana tot het opknappen van een speeltuin in een Nederlandse achterstandswijk - de Louisa Stichting geeft letterlijk vorm aan het vrijmetselaarsideaal "Doe u kennen in het westen".De gasten delen inspirerende voorbeelden van projecten die met steun van de stichting zijn gerealiseerd. Een belangrijk aspect hiervan is het systeem van logecorrespondenten: broeders die als ambassadeurs van de stichting fungeren binnen hun eigen loge. Deze correspondenten vormen de verbindende schakel tussen de stichting en de individuele vrijmetselaars, waardoor een waardevol netwerk van maatschappelijke betrokkenheid ontstaat.Henk en Edward spreken hun droom uit dat elke Nederlandse loge minimaal één project per jaar zou indienen. Momenteel beschikt de stichting over meer middelen dan er aanvragen binnenkomen - een "luxeprobleem" dat ze graag willen oplossen. Hun oproep aan alle vrijmetselaars is helder: kijk om je heen, zie waar kinderen hulp kunnen gebruiken, en benut de mogelijkheden die de Louisa Stichting biedt.Ben je vrijmetselaar? Informeer dan bij de logecorrespondent in jouw loge of overweeg zelf deze rol te vervullen. Zo draag je bij aan een traditie van naastenliefde en maatschappelijke betrokkenheid die al anderhalve eeuw het leven van talloze kinderen verbetert.Louisa Stichting - https://www.louisastichting.nl/Prins Frederik - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederik_der_Nederlanden_(1797-1881)Louise Augusta Wilhelmina Amalia  - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_van_Pruisen_(1808-1870)Louisa Staete - https://maartenvanbommel.nl/internaat-louisa-stateWilde Ganzen - https://www.wildeganzen.nl/Support the show

Hvordan er det å leve i fattigdom her i Norge og hvordan påvirker det oss alle?I denne episoden skal vi dykke ned i et ekstra stigmatisert tema her i Norge, nemlig fattigdom og hvordan det påvirker mange flere enn vi kanskje tror. Du er så heldig å møte de dyktige og engasjerte fagpersonene Rasha Al-Saadi og Anna-Sabina Lindroos Soggiu.

Sammen løfter de frem hvordan fattigdom preger hele familien, men også lokalsamfunnet rundt og alle i samfunnet generelt.Sammen med Jimmy ser de på samfunnsstrukturene som opprettholder fattigdommen og hva vi kan gjøre for å minske gapet mellom oss her til lands.Rasha Al-Saadi jobber som virksomhetsleder ved barnas stasjon i Blå Kors Skien. Hun er utdannet barnehagelærer og har master i interkulturell kompetanse, med flere års erfaring fra ulike roller i det offentlige. Barnas stasjon som hun leder nå er et lavterskel tiltak som har fokus på barn og barnefamilier. Rasha brenner ekstra for barnets perspektiv, og jobber aktivt for å løfte barnets stemme i ulike settinger, men også foreldrekompetanse og inkludering.Anna-Sabina Lindroos Soggiu jobber som spesialkonsulent i Grünerløkka bydel og har nettopp fullført sin doktorgrad om psykisk helse og ungdom - hvordan samarbeide med ungdom som har det vanskelig.

Lotte vokser op i et lille firkantet bungalowhus i Helsingør. Hun elsker at lege cowboy og indianere, og på ridelejr har hun en fest med alle de andre børn. Men når hun kommer hjem, får hun en tom og trist fornemmelse i kroppen. For Lottes opvækst i Helsingør er ikke normal. Hun bor i stueetagen med sin mormor, og moderen bor i kælderen. Da Lotte som 17-årig en dag kommer hjem, efter hun har sovet hos sin kæreste for første gang, bliver hendes liv ændret for altid. Journalist Søren Korsholm er taget med på en singlerejse til Cuba sammen med sin optager. Han undersøger, hvad rejsen går ud på. Og hvem der tager af sted på sådan en. I løbet af rundrejsen deler tre kvinder ud af deres singleliv. Søren finder ud af, at deres singlerejse allerede begyndte, da de var unge. Lang tid før de lander i Havana.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dora deler et life hack! Du kan også bli en Lucky Girl! Ellers er vi litt oppgitte over oss mennesker som på noen områder ikke har gått videre siden steinalderen. Vi har også fått opptil flere tilbakemeldinger. «Stine» er stadig på vakt overfor kjæresten. Hun stoler ikke helt på ham, etter at han virket interessert i andre damer i starten av forholdet, i tillegg til rykter om at han kan være upålitelig. Hun ser nå fanden på høylys dag, uten at det egentlig ser ut til å være noen grunn til det. Dessuten har han en veldig argumenterende stil under konflikter. Han vil gjerne flytte sammen, men hun er usikker før disse tingene faller på plass. Mannen til «Stine» skulle bare ta en dusj i 45 minutter da de egentlig hadde avtalt å bare skifte og dra videre. Hun eksploderte, og de oppførte seg som en ordentlig idiot og en gærning. Hvordan kan hun kontrollere sinnet? Hvordan unngå å bli en kjeftesmelle som moren sin? Kan man gjøre noe for å gi andre selvinnsikt og respekt for andres tid? Hvis du vil gjøre et annonsesamarbeid med oss,?

Hvor er Venstre på vej hen, og kan Troels Lund Poulsen blive fristet af tilnærmelserne fra blå blok? Det ser vi nærmere på i denne uge af Magten. Vi zoomer ind på regeringspartiet Venstre, der har stabiliseret sig i målingerne, men som slet ikke er på et niveau, hvor Venstre-folkene har grund til at juble. Troels Lund Poulsen har fået uvurderlig hjælp fra Stephanie Lose til at få ro på bagsmækken. Hun sælger både pølser på stadion, er benhård i forhandlingerne med de andre ministre og passer på Venstre indadtil. Men hvor vil de egentlig have Venstre hen? I tre sommerudgaver af Magten zoomer vi ind på de tre regeringspartier og gør status på alt fra formændenes politiske sejre til udfordringerne, der venter efter sommerferien. Medvirkende: DR's politiske analytiker Pia Glud Munksgaard, Thomas Juul-Dam, tidligere rådgiver for statsminister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, i dag partner i PrimeTime og tidligere rådgiver for statsminister Lars Løkke Rasmussen og Jacob Bruun, der i dag har Bruun Advisory. Tilrettelægger: Theodora Renard.

LES 198Alleen mijn veroordeling verwondt me.Verwonding is onmogelijk. En toch brengt illusie illusie voort. Als je kunt veroordelen, kun je worden verwond. Want je hebt geloofd dat je verwonden kunt, en het recht dat je voor jezelf hebt vastgesteld kan nu tegen jou worden gebruikt, tot je het als waardeloos, ongewenst en onwerkelijk terzijde legt. Dan houdt illusie op gevolgen te hebben en zullen die welke ze scheen te hebben, ongedaan worden gemaakt. Dan ben je vrij, want vrijheid is jouw geschenk, en nu kun jij het geschenk ontvangen dat je gegeven hebt.Veroordeel en je wordt tot gevangene gemaakt. Vergeef en je wordt bevrijd. Dat is de wet die de waarneming regeert. Het is geen wet die door kennis wordt begrepen, want vrijheid is een deel van kennis. In waarheid is veroordelen dus onmogelijk. Wat de invloed en gevolgen ervan schijnen te zijn heeft helemaal niet plaatsgevonden. Toch moeten we ons er een poosje mee bezig houden alsof dit wel zo is. Illusie brengt illusie voort. Behalve één. Vergeving is een illusie die een antwoord is op de rest.Vergeving vaagt alle andere dromen weg, en hoewel ze zelf een droom is, kweekt ze geen nieuwe. Alle illusies behalve deze ene vermenigvuldigen zich onvermijdelijk duizendmaal. Maar hier eindigen illusies. Vergeving is het eind van dromen, omdat ze een droom over ontwaken is. Ze is niet zelf de waarheid. Maar ze wijst naar waar de waarheid moet zijn en geeft de richting aan met de zekerheid van God Zelf. Ze is een droom waarin de Zoon van God tot zijn Zelf en tot zijn Vader ontwaakt, en weet dat Zij één zijn.Vergeving is de enige weg die uit de ellende voert, voorbij alle lijden en uiteindelijk weg van de dood. Hoe zou er een andere weg kunnen zijn wanneer deze het plan van God Zelf is? En waarom zou je daartegen in verweer gaan, het bestrijden, duizend manieren proberen te vinden waarop het beslist onjuist is, duizend andere mogelijkheden?Is het niet wijzer om blij te zijn dat jij het antwoord op je problemen in handen hebt? Is het niet verstandiger Degene die verlossing schenkt te danken en Zijn gave dankbaar te aanvaarden? En is het niet een vriendelijke daad jegens jezelf om Zijn Stem te horen en de eenvoudige lessen te leren die Hij onderwijzen wil, in plaats van Zijn woorden te proberen te verwerpen, om die van jou in de plaats te stellen van die van Hem?Zijn woorden werken. Zijn woorden verlossen. Zijn woorden bevatten alle hoop, alle zegen en alle vreugde die ooit op deze aarde kunnen worden gevonden. Zijn woorden zijn in God geboren en komen tot jou, met hemelse liefde bekleed. Zij die Zijn woorden horen, hebben het lied van de Hemel vernomen. Want dit zijn de woorden waarin alle tenslotte tot één versmelten. En op het moment dat dit ene zal wegsterven, zal het Woord van God zijn plaats innemen, want dan zal het herinnerd worden en bemind.Deze wereld heeft vele schijnbaar aparte schuilplaatsen, waar genade geen betekenis heeft en aanval gerechtvaardigd lijkt. Toch zijn ze alle één: een plaats waar de dood wordt aangeboden aan Gods Zoon en aan diens Vader. Je denkt misschien dat Zij die hebben aanvaard. Maar als jij opnieuw kijkt naar de plaats waar je Hun bloed zag, zul je in plaats daarvan een wonder zien. Hoe dwaas om te geloven dat Zij kunnen sterven! Hoe dwaas om te geloven dat jij aanvallen kunt! Hoe waanzinnig om te denken dat jij veroordeeld kunt worden en dat de heilige Zoon van God sterven kan!De stilheid van jouw Zelf blijft onbewogen, onaangetast door dergelijke gedachten en zich niet bewust van enige veroordeling waarvoor vergeving nodig zou zijn. Elk soort dromen is onbekend en vreemd aan de waarheid. En wat anders dan de waarheid zou een Gedachte kunnen hebben die een brug daarheen bouwt die illusies naar de overkant brengt?Vandaag oefenen we erin de vrijheid toe te laten bij jou haar thuis te vinden. De waarheid schenkt jouw denkgeest deze woorden, zodat jij de sleutel kunt vinden tot het licht en een eind maakt aan de duisternis:Alleen mijn veroordeling verwondt me.Alleen mijn eigen vergeving maakt me vrij.Vergeet vandaag niet dat er geen vorm van lijden is, of die verbergt wel een niet-vergevende gedachte. Evenmin kan er een vorm van pijn zijn die vergeving niet genezen kan.Aanvaard de ene illusie die verklaart dat er geen veroordeling is in Gods Zoon, en de Hemel wordt onmiddellijk herinnerd, de wereld vergeten, samen met al haar vreemde overtuigingen, nu het gelaat van Christus eindelijk ongesluierd in deze ene droom verschijnt. Dit is het geschenk dat de Heilige Geest voor jou namens God, jouw Vader, bewaart. Laat deze dag zowel op aarde als in jouw heilige woning worden gevierd. Wees mild voor Beiden wanneer jij de overtredingen vergeeft waaraan je Hen schuldig achtte, en zie hoe jouw onschuld jou toestraalt vanaf Christus' gelaat.Nu is er stilte over heel de wereld. Nu is er stilheid waar voorheen een razende storm van onzinnige gedachten was. Nu ligt er een sereen licht over het aanschijn van de aarde, tot rust gebracht in een droomloze slaap. En nu blijft daarop als enige het Woord van God over. Dat alleen kan nog een ogenblik langer worden waargenomen. Dan is het met symbolen gedaan, en is alles wat jij ooit dacht gemaakt te hebben volkomen verdwenen uit de denkgeest die God voor eeuwig kent als Zijn enige Zoon.Er is geen veroordeling in hem. Hij is volmaakt in zijn heiligheid. Hij heeft geen gedachten van barmhartigheid nodig. Wie zou hem geschenken kunnen geven wanneer alles het zijne is? En wie zou ervan kunnen dromen vergeving te schenken aan de Zoon der Zondeloosheid Zelf, die zozeer lijkt op Hem wiens Zoon hij is, dat het aanschouwen van de Zoon gelijkstaat aan niet meer waarnemen en alleen de Vader kennen? In deze visie van de Zoon, zo kort dat er geen ogenblik staat tussen deze onverdeelde blik en tijdloosheid zelf, zie je de visie van jezelf, en dan verdwijn jij voor alle eeuwigheid in God.Vandaag komen we steeds dichter bij het einde van alles wat nog tussen deze visie en ons zicht zou kunnen staan. En we zijn blij dat we zover gekomen zijn en begrijpen dat Hij die ons hier gebracht heeft ons nu niet in de steek zal laten. Want Hij wil ons de gave schenken die God ons vandaag via Hem gegeven heeft. Nu is het de tijd voor jouw bevrijding. De tijd is gekomen. De tijd is vandaag gekomen.

LES 197Ik kan alleen maar mijn eigen dankbaarheid oogsten.Hier is de tweede stap die we zetten om je denkgeest te verlossen van het geloof in een kracht van buitenaf die zich met de jouwe wil meten. Je doet pogingen tot vriendelijkheid en vergeving. Toch verander je die weer in een aanval, als jij geen uiterlijke erkentelijkheid en overvloedige dankbetuigingen krijgt. Je geschenken moeten met ere worden ontvangen, anders worden ze teruggenomen. En dus denk je dat Gods gaven op z'n best leningen zijn, op z'n slechtst misleidingen die je van je verdedigingen zullen beroven om te garanderen dat wanneer Hij toeslaat Hij zeker zal doden.Hoe gemakkelijk worden God en schuld verward door hen die niet weten wat hun gedachten kunnen doen. Ontken je kracht, en zwakheid moet wel verlossing voor je worden. Zie jezelf als gevangen, en tralies worden je thuis. Evenmin zul je de gevangenis verlaten of aanspraak maken op je kracht zolang schuld en verlossing nog als één worden gezien, en vrijheid en verlossing niet als verbonden worden beschouwd, met aan hun zijde kracht, die gezocht en opgeëist, en gevonden en volledig kan worden erkend.De wereld moet jou dankbaar zijn wanneer je haar bevrijding schenkt van jouw illusies. Maar jouw dank komt ook jou toe, want haar bevrijding kan alleen de jouwe weerspiegelen. Jouw dankbaarheid is alles wat jouw geschenken nodig hebben om de blijvende gift te zijn van een dankbaar hart dat voor altijd bevrijd is uit de hel. Zou je dit ongedaan willen maken door je geschenken terug te nemen omdat ze geen eer werden aangedaan? Jij bent het die ze eer aandoet en ze op een gepaste wijze dank betuigt, want jij bent het die de geschenken ontvangen heeft.Het geeft niet of een ander jouw geschenken onwaardig vindt. Er is in zijn denkgeest een deel dat samen met de jouwe dankzegt aan jou. Het geeft niet of jouw geschenken verloren en vruchteloos lijken. Ze zijn ontvangen waar ze gegeven zijn. In jouw dankbaarheid worden ze universeel aanvaard en dankbaar erkend door het Hart van God Zelf. En zou jij ze willen terugnemen, wanneer Hij ze dankbaar heeft aanvaard?God zegent elk geschenk dat jij Hem geeft, en elk geschenk wordt Hem gegeven, want het kan alleen worden gegeven aan jouzelf. En wat God toebehoort, moet wel het Zijne zijn. Maar je zult nooit beseffen dat Zijn gaven zeker zijn, eeuwig, onveranderlijk en onbeperkt, en eeuwig uitdelen, liefde uitbreiden en jouw altijddurende vreugde vergroten, zolang jij slechts vergeeft om weer aan te vallen.Neem de geschenken die je geeft terug, en je zult denken dat wat jou gegeven is, teruggenomen werd. Maar leer vergeving de zonden te laten wegnemen die jij buiten jezelf denkt te zien, en je kunt nooit denken dat de gaven van God slechts voor een poosje geleend worden, voor Hij ze weer weggrist in de dood. Want de dood zal dan geen betekenis meer hebben voor jou.En met het eind van dit geloof is angst voorgoed voorbij. Dank jouw Zelf hiervoor, want Hij is alleen dankbaar jegens God, en Hij dankt Zichzelf voor jou. Tot ieder die leeft zal Christus uiteindelijk komen, want ieder moet leven en bewegen in Hem. Zijn Wezen is in Zijn Vader zeker, want Hun Wil is Eén. Hun dankbaarheid jegens alles wat Zij geschapen hebben kent geen eind, want dankbaarheid blijft altijd deel van liefde.Dank aan jou, de heilige Zoon van God. Want zoals jij werd geschapen bevat jij alles in jouw Zelf. En jij bent nog steeds zoals God jou geschapen heeft. Ook kun je het licht van jouw volmaaktheid niet verzwakken. In jouw hart is het Hart van God gelegd. Jij bent Hem dierbaar, omdat jij Hemzelf bent. Alle dankbaarheid behoort jou toe, om wat jij bent.Zeg dank, zoals jij dank ontvangt. Wees vrij van alle ondankbaarheid jegens wie ook die jouw Zelf compleet maakt. En van dit Zelf is niemand buitengesloten. Zeg dank voor alle talloze kanalen die dit Zelf uitbreiden. Alles wat jij doet wordt Hem gegeven. Alles wat jij denkt, kunnen louter Zijn Gedachten zijn, omdat je met Hem de heilige Gedachten van God deelt. Oogst nu de dankbaarheid die jij jezelf hebt ontzegd toen je de functie die God jou gegeven heeft vergat. Maar denk nooit dat Hij ooit opgehouden is jou te danken.

Vi drodler om psykisk vold etter forespørsel fra en «Stine». Og om damer som er high eller low maintenance, fordi det er irriterende at bare kvinner blir puttet i bås. Eller er det sånn? Jobbhverdagen til «Stine» har ikke vært lett, og den faste ansettelsen hun har blitt forespeilet lar vente på seg. Sjefen og den nærmeste kollegaen hennes har kjent hverandre i 20 år og har en nærmest symbiotisk arbeidsstil. Hun "opplever ofte å bli sammenlignet med kollegaen min, og mens hen blir løftet og rost for arbeidet sitt, får jeg stadig kritikk for det jeg gjør feil eller burde gjort annerledes». Det er veldig tungt å gå på jobben, og hun stivner til når hun får mail fra sjefen. I tillegg er hun for tiden gravid… Oppveksten var svært traumatisk for «Stine», med neglekt, mishandling, alkoholisme, psykopati, nazisme, fattigdom, m.m. Foreldrene har gladelig delt sine egne fæle opplevelser, noe som har preget barndommen. Det har ikke vært noe støtte å få. Spiseproblemer har hun balet med alene i mange år, og nå sliter hun blant annet med å ta valg, og faller som menn som absolutt ikke er bra for henne.

I anden del af Ministertid med Mimi Jakobsen hører vi om tiden efter Tamilsagen, hvor Mimi Jakobsen og Centrum-Demokraterne går med i den første regering ledet af socialdemokraten Poul Nyrup Rasmussen.

Fire år tidligere blev hun Danmarks første kvindelige partiformand, og nu bliver hun også den første kvindelige vicestatsminister.Hun får oprettet et helt nyt ministerium til sig selv, men CD har svært ved at finde fodfæste i den nye regering. Hun overtaler Nyrup til en regeringsrokade, men den ender i en katastrofe, da den nye socialminister fra CD, Bente Juncker, på få uger gør sig uegnet som minister. Efter fire år trækker Mimi Jakobsen partiet ud af regeringen midt i valgperioden.Hør også om whiskydrikning med Marianne Jelved, forskellen på at være minister under Schlüter og Nyrup – og om Centrum-Demokraternes endeligt fem år senere.Vært: Simon Emil Ammitzbøll-Bille, tidligere økonomi- og indenrigsministerGæst: Mimi Jakobsen, tidligere erhvervs-, industri-, samordnings-, Grønlands- og socialministerI podcasten 'Ministertid' inviterer tidligere økonomi- og indenrigsminister Simon Emil Ammitzbøll-Bille tidligere ministre i studiet for at dele deres oplevelser fra ministerstolen.

I første del af Ministertid med Mimi Jakobsen hører vi om hendes tid i Schlüterregeringerne – først som kulturminister og senere som socialminister. Vi hører også om, hvordan hun bliver smidt ud af regeringen, da statsministeren ikke længere har brug for hendes parti, Centrum-Demokraterne. Og om Ninn-Hansens ubehageligheder samt tamilsagen, der bliver en motor for det senere politiske skifte fra højre mod venstre i dansk politik.Vært: Simon Emil Ammitzbøll-Bille, tidligere økonomi- og indenrigsministerGæst: Mimi Jakobsen, tidligere erhvervs-, industri-, samordnings-, Grønlands- og socialminister I podcasten 'Ministertid' inviterer tidligere økonomi- og indenrigsminister Simon Emil Ammitzbøll-Bille tidligere ministre i studiet for at dele deres oplevelser fra ministerstolen.

I denne episoden har jeg med meg psykologspesialist og mindfulness-instruktør Cathrine Helgø Sasson. Hun er utdannet ved Center for Mindfulness ved University of Massachusetts – der Jon Kabat-Zinn selv var en av hennes lærere – og har over ti års erfaring med å holde MBSR-kurs i både helsevesenet og privat praksis. Vi snakker om hva mindfulness egentlig er – og hva det ikke er. Hva det vil si å være til stede i eget liv, og hvorfor det er så vanskelig for mange av oss i dag. Hvordan kan mindfulness hjelpe oss når vi står i stress, utmattelse eller indre uro? Cathrine deler fra egen erfaring som fagperson og mamma, og vi snakker også om selvmedfølelse, kroppsbevissthet og hvordan små øyeblikk av nærvær kan gjøre stor forskjell i hverdagen og hvordan vi har det i livet.I løpet av episoden er vi også innom: Hvorfor gidde å begynne å meditere?Hvordan virker det?Hva hjelper det med?Er vi tankene våre?På slutten tar Cathrine oss gjennom en meditasjonsøvelse.For mer info fra Cathrine Sasson:www.mindfulnesskurs.orgwww.facebook.com/mindfullifembsrwww.cathrinesasson.noAlt godt,AnnetteFølg meg gjerne på:Instagram.com/dr.annettedraglandFacebook.com/drannettedraglandhttps://youtube.com/@drannetteDisclaimer: Innholdet i podcasten og på denne nettsiden er ikke ment å utgjøre eller være en erstatning for profesjonell medisinsk rådgivning, diagnose eller behandling.

Er der plads til familielivet, hvis man vil vinde Tour de France?

Hun siger: "Så kan det godt være, at man kan regne sig frem til alle mulige ting i et excelark. Men jeg synes, at man nogle gange glemmer det hele menneske."

I dagens afsnit taler vi om hendes vej ind i skuespillet – en vej hun ikke nødvendigvis havde regnet med at skulle gå.

Ugens Radio Information er sæsonens sidste ordinære af slagsen. Men så er det heldigt, at vi både har historien om en ræverød new yorker, en virkelig god tv-serie, man lærer noget af, og et stykke solidt miljø-graverjournalistik --- Zohran Mamdanis sejr ved de demokratiske primærvalg til borgmesterposten i New York er en vaskeægte sensation. I februar lå den erklærede socialist til at få én procent af stemmerne, men så rullede bolden. Måske fordi hans kampagne har været entydigt fokuseret på letforståelige og bredt appellerende løfter som gratis busser, fri børnepasning, loft over huslejerne og højere skat til de rige. Som han sagde: »Det her er den rigeste by i det rigeste land i verdenshistorien, men arbejderklassen, der har bygget den, kan ikke bo her.« Mathias Sindberg tegner et portræt af manden, der for nogle er en helt, og for andre et symptom på, hvor dyb Demokraternes krise er.   Vores fremragende kulturredaktør og historienørd Anita Brask Rasmussen har set TV2's nye arkæologi-spændingsserie Danefæ, som hun mener udgør en »elegant sammenskrivning af en nutidig ægteskabelig krise og et af de store diskussionspunkter i arkæologien: I hvor høj grad et kønnet blik på fund og kilder har præget vores opfattelse af magtfordelingen på Harald Blåtands tid«. Hun kommer i studiet og uddyber. Og så skal det handle om pesticider. De mest skadelige for mennesker og miljøet, hvis brug ifølge EU-Kommissionen skal halveres frem mod 2030. Men i Danmark er salget tværtimod steget markant, viser beregninger, som Information har foretaget på baggrund af tal fra Miljøstyrelsen. Lasse Schou Andersen og Bo Elkjær er gæster.

Etter ti år i eksil vendte Josephine Baker tilbake til hjemlandet med håp om at hun ville bli tatt imot med åpne armer. Hun raskt dratt ned på jorden igjen. I Europa var hun en stor stjerne, men i USA fikk hun ikke en gang bo på hotell på grunn av hudfargen. Etter det ublide gjensynet med et segregert USA dro hun tilbake til et Europa som ulmet. Der ble hun kontaktet av den franske etterretningen, som var på utkikk etter personer som kunne brukes som hemmelige agenter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
