    Having anxiety about a big change in my life!

    I am in the exact same boat! I start my full-time job next Wednesday from being a SAHM for almost 13 years and am feeling bit anxious about the new schedule! But, honestly, I felt like I wasn't productive staying at home. Some of the moms kept an immaculate house, volunteered at school...

    Oscars.....Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin

    The hosts were pretty funny. There is backstage scene of them which made me LOL. I really loved Sandra Bullock's speech and am SO glad she won! I LOVED the dance numbers!!! But, I'm a fan of "So you think you can dance" and the dancers were from last season's show.

    Kids and Alice in Wonderland?

    I agree absolutely with Liann about Anne Hathaway, but I really dont like her anyway. I ended up loving the actress who played "Alice." I didnt think I would from the trailers. My 10 and 12 year olds really enjoyed the move as did my DH and I. We saw it in 3D. I read bad reviews so I...

    Asics convert!!!

    What a coincidence! I have a pair of Asics and this pair is the most comfortable running shoe I've ever owned. Like running on a cloud. However, I paid $120 for a pair of Asics when I was training for my marathon, but really felt no difference from a pair I paid less than half the price...

    Who One Star Rates a Friggin' Birthday Thread?!?

    I agree! What is the point of this thread except call attention to whomever rated the thread??? I don't even look at those stars. All this thread was hurt the feelings of a member who was falsely accused. So juvenile to start a thread like this. Jonezie - I don't understand why you...

    Which Big Screen tv to get?

    I did extensive research on the internet and plasma still provides the best picture - truest colors and blackest blacks - even compared to new LEDs. You get no picture distortion from all angles. You have to watch LCDs pretty dead-center. Pioneer made the best plasmas, but they found that...

    PLEASE watch "The Cove".

    Wow! Really?? That is just horrible. But, I'm so glad he had the courage to make this film. I hope it wasn't in vain.

    Have You Seen This 72 yr. Old Woman?

    I also thought her skin is amazing. But, her age is evidenced in her voice. She looks fantastic!!!

    PLEASE watch "The Cove".

    I know we have a lot of animal lovers here, but this film is more than that. It's for people who have a social and environmental conscience. I am cross-posting at all the fitness boards I frequent. I was so disturbed by this movie that I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go...

    Loreal's Lash Serum

    Hmmmm. My friend had to return hers because it swelled up her eyes. But, she's got VERY sensitive eye area. Cosmetics that bother her don't bother me. My lashes have gotten thicker just using babyoil to remove my waterproof mascara, strangely enough. I used to have this gap in the middle...

    What do you pay per month for your cell phone?

    DITTO!!!! It can't possibly be that important. OTOH, I hate when a cashier interrupts my transaction to answer the phone. Shouldn't you pay attention to the person who is there in person first? I know, they have to answer the phones, but I still think it's rude.

    Running irritations--literally :)

    I second Body Glide - Vaseline was too sticky. It lasts forever. I like that it's in solid form.

    As promised a pic of my puppy!

    He is ADORABLE!!!!!! My advice is regarding chewing. Accidents I can deal with but, a chewer? To save yourself a lot of grief, ESPECIALLY if he's got labrador in him (like my baby) chew toys galore. Some dogs prefer soft, but for my Kirby, the harder the better, so get different types...

    The problem with America...

    LOL. Ain't that the truth. My brother with the genius IQ was house-sitting for me and had to call me for instructions on how to turn on my toaster oven. Um, do you see the "start" button?

    The Most Depressing Movie EVER?!?

    "Heartburn" - omg, I was SOOOOOOO sad after seeing this movie and it was many years ago!! But, it was kinda worthwhile to see Meryl sing in that one. She is just amazing. "Up" made me cry a lot. I've never sobbed like the way I did in the beginning of that movie. But, I found it very...

    The Most Depressing Movie EVER?!?

    I almost picked up the book the other day, but decided not to put myself through that emotional turmoil again.

    Talking to Husband about getting a Dog!?

    Hmmm, well, I don't consider it asking his permission. I call it having a discussion and respecting each others' opinions and perspectives.

    Is anyone here a Social Worker?

    I'm contemplating getting a masters in social work and was wondering if anyone was already doing this type of work (my BA is in psychology). I know this field is a notoriously challenging one and would like to hear from those who are in this field of work. Thank you!
