    Skinny Bitch

    i read the book and, like lauramax, was so offended but for different reasons. i got the book because i thought it was an irreverant discussion about nutrition and exercise. what i found was 2 girls masking their true agenda, veganism, by a funny title. i bought the book to get a laugh, but...

    a few questions

    green tea with jasmin in it not only smells incredible, but tastes much better than plain green tea. we have a coffee chain in california called Peet's Coffee and they see a jasmin green tea that is so good. you can also order it online from their website. i like the organic dark chocolates...

    GWTW--are we all set?

    i was born and raised in the south, and i have never read the book nor seen the movie (and i will be 40 in a few weeks!).....i guess that is a disgrace.....i read way too slow to keep up with y'all on a check in, but i think you have inspired me to read this book. if it is a 900 page book, that...

    Not judging, just curious

    the last few posts have really summed up what i was going to write, but it is still early on monday for me to put good thoughts together. i live in california, and i was fairly embarrased by proposition 8 passing. the commercials for this proposition were downright insulting to my...

    Help please, drowning in sadness

    i wanted to say that i am very sorry you are going through this, and i know it is scary. depression can really cripple people emotionally, and if you have never experienced it, it is hard to relate. while i dont have any specific instances that allow me to relate to your situation, i do...

    Stupid question
