    Pictures vs. Mirror

    I can TOTALLY relate. I was working so hard for the past three months to get into a two piece for my vacation. I've never worn a bikini before and it wasn't even one of those teeny weeny ones it had a pretty full bottom and top. So I believe I have reached my goal, and I'm happy with how I...

    Jessica Simpson's Body

    I find celebrities are so skinny that when they put on the slightest weight they look fat. You're just so used to seeing them rail thin and all of a sudden there is some meat on them. I find I'm a very harsh judge of celebrities and I thought Jessica looked fat. I know a lot had to do with...

    Etta James--unplugged & unhinged

    LOL, I too thought she was dead. Maybe Obama did too :D I understand Etta being chocked as it is in fact her song and she should have been the one to sing it. On the other hand, I think Obama was reaching towards a younger generation who were probably more influential in voting him in...

    fear of success

    Phew! I thought I was the only one with this problem. I don't know why I keep sabotoging myself, and I manage to justify my poor eating habits...I had a bad day at work, I'm not feeling well, traffic made me angry, I broke a nail - anything goes! And then I go a step further by telling myself...

    Yet another kitty thread...

    I was in your position last Christmas and for a couple months prior. I was in and out of the vets so often I lost count. Then there came a time when she looked so hopeless, and so despondent, and completely disassociated. He meowing was so sad and heartbreaking I couldn’t just ignore it and...

    Prayers to John Travolta and Kelly Preston

    I just wanted to add that it wasn't a tabloid or some entertainment news show, it was a show about autism.

    Prayers to John Travolta and Kelly Preston

    From what I have seen and read about Travolta and his wife and the way they treated their son, I'm not all together certain they are terribly upset. The child was autistic but they refused to admit it or assist him with respect to the illness. They weren't very caring or affectionate...

    To call or not to call? Warning - LONG POST

    I'm going to agree with Bethj, Stacey D and Maddiesmom. At first I was gonna say go for it but there are other factors as mentioned by these ladies. I suggest you really think about the situation and put yourself in his position. Does he really want you to pursue him? We don't want you getting...

    Did anyone watch 20/20 tonight?

    The ladies with the dolls were unreal. So unhealthy and so sad. Therapy required. I was torn about the women breastfeeding into childhood. It seemed like is was a positive experience for both mother and child although personally I see it as something very unatural. Certainly not until the...

    I lost a furry baby today :(

    So sorry about Stewart. I love hamsters - all rodents really. I've had many hamsters during my lifetime. They live less than a 1000 days but I got one from my SPCA and it seems like I had him forever. Must have been a youngin when I got him. Ludwig was his name and 8 years later I still...

    Dirty Santa...grr......

    I think that's a good idea. Christmas drives me crazy 'cause I always get crap. We have dirty santa at work and I loath bric-a-brack and dust collectors and all that garbage. Give me wine or chocolate or anything edible and now that's an xmas exchange.

    Kettlebell question

    Thank you for that. I was feeling like a total wimp. I did make sure the guy and I were talking in kgs. Maybe he indeed mixed up the weights.

    Don't ever do what I did...

    Don't worry about it. The last couple of days I have lost my mind. Being that time of the month I have devoured everything in my path. We had cake at work for someone's birthday and when I went for thirds...or was it sixths at this point, I forgoed the fork and just stuffed myself stupid...

    Kettlebell question

    I started KB about three weeks ago and I really enjoy it. When my dvds came in, Lauren Brooks and Providence, I could only find a 4 pound KB in Walmart. I found it challening with Brooks but not really with Providence. KBs came in at my fitness store and the fella suggest someone who is fit...
