I agree with you completely! If, since she was in a hurry, she had stepped into your bathroom and USED your deodorant, I would not have thought a thing about it, but to have TAKEN it . . . no way! How rude and inconsiderate is that! What if it had made YOU late searching for it? What if you...

I had a little dog with hip dysplasia. The doctor operated on her hips, and she was much better. She wasn't "good as new," but the doctor said she wasn't in pain. We had an incredible vet, though, and I suspect he charged us less than most would have. It might be a very expensive operation...

I hear ya! My son just turned sixteen, and he has already had two wrecks, one his fault (hit a parked car) and the other one not (someone passed him on the right on a two-lane street). I'm terrified to let him out of my sight. Fortunately, he's kind of a homebody and doesn't really go out a...

Low Max, Muscle Max, and Gym Styles, in that order. Shari

RE: body image: do you not know if you're chunky or thi... Sometimes, I wish a friend would point to someone in the mall or something and say, you are built a lot like her, or even, "At first I thought that was you!" But even if you asked, most people wouldn't do that for you. Or they...

Oops. Double posting.

I loved the fit. They were so comfortable and didn't leave a panty line at all. But I'm really hard on clothes -- don't ask why; I have no idea. Anyway, mine only lasted through one wearing and washing. Had to pitch 'em. Too bad, too. Shari

I wonder if the numbers on the screen could be an option, sort of like closed captioning? That way everyone could choose whether to see them or not. Shari

I gained weight when I started taking Effexor years ago. I didn't lose when I went off of it, though. I gained again when I started back up on it a few months ago -- ten pounds. Again, I didn't lose spontaneously. I had to work at it, but I have lost most of it. Shari

I've got really tiny calves (for my size), and I don't think it has much to do with weight. I'm 5'10.5" with a large frame, but my calves are just a hair over 14". When I weighed 130 pounds more than I do now, they were minutely bigger, but I still had skinny calves. When I weighed 60 pounds...

I REALLY love this idea! I'm old (okay, only 44, but some days I FEEL old), and sometimes I feel I have to conserve my strength if there are, say, 6 or 8 more reps in the set. But if I know (and FORGET trying to remember from workout to the next) how many are left, I can really give my all to...

Simple answer -- I don't. I've been working out regularly going on six years, now, and I still can't balance during lunges. I can't even balance during unweighted lunges, so I don't think it's a lack of strength, really. I've always had ear/balance problems, and I think that plays into it...

Oh, this is cool! My fifth grade class has adopted a soldier, and we send Christmas care packages, as well as lots of drawings and little gifts from the kids. They say it really helps, especially when they're stuck in Iraq at Christmas time. Shari

INFJ, too. I've taken this test several times, at very different stages in my life, and I always come out IN?J. When I was in college, I was INTJ, and now I'm INFJ. Funny thing is, each seemed particularly true at the time, so I guess my personality has truly changed a little now that I'm not...

Charlotte, I know what you mean about having a >lot of energy and not knowing what to do with it! OMG, I >struggle with that a lot. I am often overwhelmingly intense. >It is the feeling of having ideas and not being able -due to >the demands of the present lifestyle- to work on them. How...

I often feel desperately lonely, even though I'm in much the situation you are. I have no idea why. I'm surrounded by people almost all the time, and I value the time I have alone, but I live in terror that someday I will be ALONE alone, as in parents gone, son moved to some faraway city, etc...

I had a sweet little poodle once who was actually diagnosed by the veterinarian as being "special," but then I already knew that. She was my favorite dog of all time, and I miss her still, even fifteen years later. My Reenie had her limitations -- she did circles when she got excited, for...

Wow, my first response was "no way," but the more I thought about it, I realized that I really enjoy the way I feel when I eat better and exercise, and I think I would actually try to keep it up. It would be much more difficult, though, without the weight incentive to keep me honest. Shari

After I got a divorce, my best friend and I dyed my full-length, formal wedding dress black (train, veil, and all), and she wore it to a party with high heels and fishnet stockings. I can't remember the exact title of her costume, but it was cute. Shari

Well, add a hundred pounds to that, and that's where I was five years ago. Yes, you CAN do this! You must exercise, but even more important, I believe, is controlling your eating. Structured programs like Weight Watchers are terrific. That's how I lost my first 99 pounds. Also, no matter...
