    Sad news for petite ladies

    This is strange. I don't understand why dept. stores would eliminate their Petites section when other stores are greatly expanding theirs. Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, J Crew, etc... have all recently really expanded and Banana Republic will start having stand-alone Petite stores. But I...

    Lamest reason for NOT working out?

    "I'm wearing my glasses instead of my contacts today and I hate the way my glasses slip down my nose when I work out" I just used that excuse last night. Sadly, I have to wear my glasses for two weeks so I think I will be slacking off for a while.

    Cheap Guy???

    Sometimes I feel like I live on another planet! I cannot imagine expecting a guy to pay for me after the first few dates. Obviously, this guy is bothered by it which is why he made those comments. If there is a huge age difference and he is MUCH wealthier than you, then I agree he should...

    I stopped doing wts for LB and lost inches!!

    That's great! I have very strong legs, and I rarely do any weighted workouts for them. My main forms of cardio are kickboxing and step, and I find that it's all I need. My legs are quite muscular from that alone. My calves get too big if I use weights when I squat, etc...

    The Da Vinci Code

    I find it difficult to sit through 2.5 hours of ANY move, let alone one that's supposed to be boring. One of my pet peeves are books that are obviously written to be made into a movie. The entire time I was reading it, I couldn't get that out of my head.

    Oatmeal

    Kashi GoLean Cereal might be a good option for you. It's really high in fiber and protein and doesn't taste like twigs. I get sick of it pretty quickly unless I top it with fruit or mix it with a small amount of Cheerios.

    American Idol

    I really don't care who wins at this point, but Elliott sure went out with grace. He just seems like such a good person. Paris, Chris and Elliott should consider themselves lucky. Not winning means that they won't be bound by 19E and their restrictive contracts. The Idol winner's...

    True Religion jeans on Ebay

    I've bought expensive jeans before on Ebay. Best advice I can give you is to read the seller's feedback - there will be lots of people complaining about fake jeans if he/she isn't legit. Also, if the price is ridiculously low I would think twice. Oh, and make sure they aren't overcharging...

    American Idol

    I thought Elliott did very well. It seems to me like the judges made slightly negative comments about him because they want him to go. Simon does not hide the fact that he thinks Elliott will be the most difficult to market after the show. I like Taylor so much better when he just stands...

    Someone from this forum should apply for Survivor

    I'm so glad you all want to try out for my Ritz Carlton edition! Just think of the challenges: "who can drink the booze out of the mini bar the fastest?", raft races in the pool, backrub competitions, and "whose manicure lasts the longest without chipping?" All challenges will be done...

    Someone from this forum should apply for Survivor

    I wouldn't go on Survivor unless they had a "Survivor: Ritz Carlton" edition! It's not so much the hunger and filth - for me I wouldn't be able to deal with those nights where they get pounded with rain and freeze their butts off. And I can't eat fish without gagging, so I don't know how I...

    survivor any one know who won???

    I wanted Cirie to take the whole thing. I'm surprised how different I feel about Terry than everyone else! I thought he was an arrogant jerk. He was absolutely amazing in the challenges, but his strategizing was terrible. I think I would like Terry in real life, but not in Survivor-world.

    Burn the fat feed the muscle

    There are quite a few older threads regarding the book that I would check out if I were you. I advise doing a search using the initials of the book - BFFM. I did it for you but I'm not sure the link will work....I love the book and highly recommend it. It espouses eating 5 small meals a day...

    americas next top model

    I love this show! Jade is such a jerk. I do think she takes nice photos, though. I went to college with Sara. I didn't know her though, she was much younger. But she sure stuck out on campus with her 6 foot tall gorgeous body and beautiful face. I've watched all of the previous...

    Help! What to say to get the teachers I want for my girls

    RE: Help! What to say to get the teachers I want for m... I would just be brutally honest and give the name of the teacher you want along with the comment that if she cannot get your first choice, that you DO NOT want her to have Ms. Badteacher. They will be much less likely to assign her to...

    Another Netflix post

    I would blame the post office before I would blame NetFlix! The Washington Post (I think) did a story recently about how the USPS has been catching tons of their mail carriers stealing the netflix mailers while they are en route back to NetFlix. One guy had hundreds of them in his house (they...

    Idol Chat

    Last night made me realize that Paris was the most talented of the final 5 (in my opinion). I know many people thought she was annoying, but her songs were the only ones that I didn't fast-forward through. I couldn't watch Idol if I didn't have TIVO. It's nice to be able to speed through...

    Pain in my foot....what could it be?

    It might be plantar fasciitis. Mine flares up when I take a break from working out and then start up again. You might want to google it and see if the symptoms match. I can usually control it by following a stretching program and being very careful about the sneakers I buy. Hope it feels...

    Microdermabrasion kits

    Hello, I bought the L'Oreal version and have been very happy with it. I use it two or three times a week, and it really makes my pores appear smaller! Doesn't do anything noticable for wrinkles, but I don't think anything over the counter helps wrinkles anyway...
