I got them as a 40th birthday present for myself (can you say 'midlife crisis?'). I have 3 kids breast fed them all for >1yr so the girls were not exactly perky. I actually got the smallest ones, 250cc of normal saline, which made me a 'full C'. (Had a lift as well). The recovery was brutal...

(((Jerry))) So sorry about your brothers. My mother killed herself, and every day I ask myself 'how am I doing?' Once the unthinkable has happened in your family, you live with that pain as best you can. Some days, the strain is enormous and I'm guessing it was one of those days when you...

>Oh my - too funny! My first Aussie, Tucker, would have loved >it! My second, Jimmy, would run behind the TV looking for the >dogs and other animals making the sounds. He doesn't >understand the concept of a TV. Christine, My border collie does the same thing! She even has her...

I don't have either, but I DO have a Ford Escape hybrid I like a bunch. I love that it's 4 wheel drive and still gets good mileage. I'm not to the point where I need/want anything smaller yet, (hauling dogs, kids and multiple trips to Home Depot etc) so it suits my needs just fine. :-) Valerie

I have 3 and they're each 2 1/2 yrs. apart. Looking back I would have had them CLOSER together, like maybe 18mos-2yrs. Then again, my husband was in grad school and people thought we were nutty to even have ONE. My husband is the oldest of 4. Born in 1960. A sib in '61,'62 and '64. Yup...

>Can't we all just get along? > >:-) You said it, Rodney! ;-)

Every so often I find myself running into someone who feels very threatened that my opinion differs from theirs. The topic can be something to do w/ politics, religion, animal testing }( . I think there are people who feel threatened when not everyone sees things the same (their) way. Maybe...

glad you're back and feeling better. Valerie

Dani! What great news that you're expecting again. My prayers are with you. Valerie

I read A Walk in the Woods a few yrs. ago and loved it. There were parts where I actually laughed out loud. Just finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: very good. Now am reading The Glass House which got my attention right away. The true story of a girl growing up w/ mentally ill parents...

bumping :-)

this is EXACTLY what happened to us! When their dog attacked mine (in our garage) we phoned immediately. the machine picked up so my husband left a msg., stating what had happened and asking them to return our call. They never did and when we wound up in court, she said it was because she was...

>Well, I called my neighbor, and left a message "suggesting" >she keep her dog on leash from now on, and I also gave my >phone #. We'll see if she gets back to me or not. My DH says >I'm too nice, but I always try to give people the benefit of >the doubt. A friend of mine who knows this...

wow, Laura, sorry for all the stress. I know your job has been not great for awhile, so maybe it's time to find something new. I'm not saying cut and run, and a good lawyer is worth whatever you pay her/him, but after it the dust settles, getting out of that situation might be the best thing...

wow, can I ever feel your pain! we have idiots living next door to us (really, you can't believe how not smart some people are). long story short, since they moved here 7 yrs ago, they've had a rotweiller, 2 pit bulls, a pb mix . .. . .see the recurring theme?? NOTE: It's not the breed, but...

>Valerie, you could bring a pager into the gym.........;-) good point.

I don't use my cell phone for casual converstation and it makes me crazy when I'm out in a restaurant w/ a friend who'll ignore me to engage in a conversation on her cell. And I totally hear you about the lame conversations at the gym. As a nurse, I have an on call responsibility w/ my job...

I don't dress up, but my daughter and her friend (they're in high school) are dressing up as Angela Martin and Dwight Schrute from "the Office" Valerie

slim case for the win.
