2 INCH WOODEN BLINDS

The Window Blind

"Caterina Cammino is an attractive and reclusive thirty-five-year-old woman whose nightly ritual is to go to the beach and drink wine from the bar of her car. Though alcohol is her crutch and companion, it can’t erase the memory of the summer of 1988 when she lost her innocence--and awoke to a scream.
Tyler Beck is an intellectually gifted eighteen-year-old loner who has an invisible, magical cord above his right shoulder; he is also a former drug addict who was rehabilitated with the help of a counselor named Robie. After Robie dies, however, a distraught Beck exits his friend’s funeral and seeks refuge at the beach—and in heroin.
Their lives collide when Caterina’s car strikes a trashcan that crashes into the semi-conscious Beck. When they both ask aloud for help, the grieving parts of themselves are transported to another dimension called 10-17. Caterina arrives in this dimension as her seventeen-year-old self, Cat, and there she meets Beck, whom she nicknames Ty. Once in this new world, set against a backdrop of Italy, they meet a Watcher named Miranda who tells them that they are in 10-17 for healing, even while their parallel lives are continuing on Earth. Miranda explains that the dimensions are spaced like slats on a window blind; she also tells the teenagers about a place called Thare, an Earth-like dimension populated by humans, but without suffering or addiction.
While Beck readily embraces his love for the mature Caterina, she is conflicted over her feelings for a man half her age. Meanwhile, in Dimension 10-17, as Cat and Ty complete their lesson, they are torn over the choice that Miranda offers them: To go to the “perfect” world of Thare and leave the Earth and their families behind, or to return wholly to their Earthly selves..."

Found these inside the house on my window blinds - what are they? Not maggots, I know what those look like. What kind of insect would lay eggs on white vinyl blinds anyway? Poor things look starved. They were tiny, maybe 1 mm to 1.5 mm long at most. (Found in Western North Carolina, near Blue Ridge Parkway.)

I don’t know how long she was like this before we noticed. But I think we have a window addiction on our hands.

Magic Blackout Blind is a supercharged blackout sheet on a roll that sticks with static to any window. Simply roll it out and place it on your window, and Magic Blackout Blind will block out 100% of the light. Magic Blackout Blind is a statically charged polypropylene sheet. 50 square feet of Magic Blackout Blind is included in every roll in 10 perforated sheets that each measure 31.5" x 23.5". This is enough to cover approx. 5 standard windows. You can roll out as much Magic Blackout Blind as you need to cover a large window, or cut the sheets to any size to fit almost any window shape. This versatile product is ideal for children's nurseries, dorms, night shift workers, new homes, RV's and mobile homes. They are also great for when you have overnight visitors or when you are travelling. Each roll weighs less than 2 lbs and fits easily in a suitcase or in the trunk of a car. Magic Blackout Blind is a temporary solution that should stick to your window for many weeks or months, but it may crease in hot conditions and naturally loses its static charge over time. For best results be sure the window is clean and free of dust before putting up the Magic Blackout Blind. The sheets should be taken down to let the window breathe when the room does not need to be blacked out, just as you would a curtain or a blind. When removed from the window the sheets should be stored on a flat surface such as a wall or closet door to help retain the static charge. Magic Blackout Blind can be safely applied to normal single glazed or double glazed windows, the type you typically find in a house or office. Do not apply Magic Blackout Blind to laminated glass, windows strengthened with wire, textured or patterned glass, triple plane glass, Velux windows or similar roof lights. Magic Blackout Blind is recyclable as a #5 plastic. For more information on Magic Blackout Blind and to view a 1-minute product video, visit www.MagicWhiteboardProducts.com.
