    Sagging/Excess Skin

    Wow, 800 calories is so low! Everyone has different levels of skin elasticity. That's why some pregnant women get loose sking after giving birth and some don't. I think speed of weight loss also has something to do with it. I bet weights would help her quite a bit, but probably...

    OT: Fake Fingers, chili and april fools

    Last year, my dad hard-boiled all of the eggs in the egg carton so when my mom went to crack one, it was already cooked. Of course, she threw a few at him. This year, she has gotten her revenge. For two months, she's been moving the items on a shelf in their house to the left. He notices...

    Reminder: Daylight Saving Time

    I thought it was interesting that studies have shown there are more car accidents and work injuries on the day after we change our clocks. I guess we are all a little jet-lagged and have slower reaction times.

    Speaking of fashion rants....

    Ugh, I am cringing because I wore most of these fashions in the 80s. I went back and forth from typical cheesy (I color-coordinated my outfits in such a tacky way - white/turquoise top, turquoise pants and socks, with white shoes/turquoise shoelaces. Classy!) to a little more edgy (more...

    For Those Who Asked About Spamalot

    Oh, I think it's fine for an 18-year old. It's no worse than an R-rated movie. I'm sure she's seen worse by now! There are only about 2 scenes that were really risque. I hope you enjoy it - it's a blast.

    For Those Who Asked About Spamalot

    Oh, I was just kidding about your Long Island comment. I grew up waaay out on the Eastern tip - out in the boonies. But you're right - my cousins who lived so close to the city never got to go see plays or go to museums. I always felt bad that their parents never did day-trips with them...

    For Those Who Asked About Spamalot

    Thanks for the review. I agree with your dislike of current Broadway shows. Hairspray was terrible. I had to go see Bombay Dreams with my boss and I wanted to leave at intermission. But I'm a huge Monty Python fan so I've been ambivalent about this one. I will probably go see it without...

    South Beach diet Cake or pie recipe HELP!!

    Hi there, I have the regular SB Diet book and the cookbook. There are no cake or pie recipes in them. How about an angel food cake topped with fresh berries? If you are going to make it yourself, just replace most of the sugar with Splenda. Good luck!

    O/T Should Terry Schiavo be made to live or die?

    What really bugs me about this case is that the politicians are such hypocrites pandering to their conservative consituents. Interesting how they are spouting that life trumps everything, but still support the death penalty. I don't think they can have it both ways. Terri's father said...

    Your most graceful moment. . .

    Funny, I am not clumsy when working out, but in real life I'm like a bad sitcom character. I once face-planted in a board meeting and fell in such a way that my skirt went completely up to my waist. To make it worse, I was wearing thong underwear. Maya Angelou and John Walsh (board members)...

    Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle

    Pam, Just an update on your question about math. I was just looking at the book (bored at work) and I noticed that there's an appendix in the back that does most of the work for you. So I spent all that time with my calculator for nothing!

    need some advice

    Ugh, how horrible. It brings back my worst memory ever - I had a three month old kitten that I loved so much when I was 12 years old. We lived out in the country and I was mowing the lawn with our huge sit-down lawnmower. Well, you can guess what happened. I can't even write about it without...

    O/T Should Terry Schiavo be made to live or die?

    I agree it would be mentally easier to handle if she could just be given a lethal injection. But, the only thing that every doctor agrees on is that she will not suffer by having the feeding tube removed.

    O/T Should Terry Schiavo be made to live or die?

    Zt27, Regarding the money factor, that is just a rumor being spread by Teri's family. The money has already been paid out. I'm not going to guess about someone's motives considering I don't know anything about him and much of the information we are getting is emotionally charged and not...

    Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle

    How weird, I bought this a couple of weeks ago too! I definitely think it's worth every penny. The only reason I can say it might not be worth it is if you are a naturally thin person and don't have to watch what you eat. I tailored an eating plan from his book (low-moderate carbs, zig-zag...

    Where are you going off to this summer?

    I am going to have a great summer. First, my parents are taking the entire family on a cruise for their 40th anniversary. Then I'm going to Iceland for the summer solstice! I'm so psyched to go somewhere where it doesn't get dark. To top it all off, I'm going to Hawaii in August - and it's a...
