God, that is horrible as well. They should let someone 100 times her size stomp her and choke her.

    Oh, please! End times! People have been saying that since the beginning times!
    It's just sensationalism. It seems that journalism has gone to a warm place in a handbasket. I briefly majored in journalism back in 1980, and what passes for journalism now would have flunked any of us right our of an entry-level course! It's all sensational reporting, because networks think that brings in the viewers, and thus drives up the advertising price that they can charge during broadcasts.
    Another of my pet peeves in "journalism" is the phrase "Unconfirmed sources say . . . " Yeah. Right. Unconfirmed sources is just another way of saying, "Rumor has it . . . "
    Next time there is breaking news, listen for it. It's said over and over again, because the networks and stations want to get the news out first. I don't know what happened to fact-checking and pursuit of the truth in journalism, but it's all about getting info out fast, and keeping the public tuned in with the most sensational reports that they can put out there.
    Back in the days of the Roman Empire, people were treating each other pretty badly and in unbelievable ways, too. Crucifixion comes to mind. So, I don't really think modern news reports are pointing to end times any more than at any other time in recorded history.


    Just my size!

    I'm not advertising for the name brand... just stating a fact


    I don't mind underwires, however.  I do tend to look for "full coverage"... I don't wear skimpy tops and if I did I wouldn't want it to look like a butt on my chest!


    Anyway, with full coverage, underwire or not, I've never had a problem falling out, ever.  So, that would be my only suggestion.  I don't really have a preferred brand, just a style preference.  I've got everything from Olga/Warner to Victorias Secret to Walmart and K-mart specials.  If it fits, covers and I think it's pretty, I get it!



    My 15 yo son is 6Ƌ and in a size
    16 shoe, and getting ready for another growth spurt. I can always tell because for days he complains his legs hurt and then all of a sudden he is taller and shoes hurt his feet. Buying shoes for him is soooo much fun because when he finds shoes he likes, they usually go up to 13. Found a store that carries them up to size 20 now. I feel like I am going boat shopping when I take him shoe shopping. I was thinking of writing Shaq for leftover shoes....lol. My 13 yo daughter is 5ƍ and in a 9. Here I am at 5ƈ and a size 6 shoe. Daughter is looking into modeling but son is too tall for it they say.
    What size is this?
    My sister-in-law weighs about 300 pounds and is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall.  I would like to buy her a nice pull over, but I do not know her size and I don't want to ask.  Does anyone out there know what size this would be.  I am guessing at the weight compared to my husband's (her brother) which I already know.  What's the favorite store for plus sizes?  I saw Lane Bryant was closing some stores, but are there any other good stores? 
    Plus size

    I would think if she weighs 300 lbs and is 5' 6" tall, she wears a size 30, or 4X.  If she's a little over 300 lbs, I'd get a size 32 or 5X. 


    I would also try to shop at Catherine's, CJ Banks Woman or Lane Bryant.  They're better quality and last longer than the things I've gotten at Fashion Bug or any of the others.  I do buy underpants and plain t-shirts at Walmart.


    Catherine's is my personal favorite for both the styles and the prices.


    If you're not 100% sure of her size, a gift certificate would be a safe way to go. 


    Oh look, they're having an "up to 70% off sale" right now!

    Plus-size dresses

    My friend is getting married in August and I need to find a dress quickly! Can anyone recommend a designer with a line of plus-size bridesmaid dresses? I'll require a size 14 or 16 depending on the fit (probably 14).


    Also, I realize this is late and I may have to buy "off the rack" or via internet versus using a bridal shop. Any recommendations in the Philadelphia/So. Jersey area?


    Noticed your plus-size??
    I hate to be the one to tell you but the average size now in the states is a 14. I in no way consider that plus. Oh, to be a 14 again. See shoulda checked before hand- now that is not politically correct because it makes us hefty girls feel sad!
    My DH had one on his shoulder about that size
    He had to have it removed and did well afterwards.
    My 17 yo DS wears a size 14...
    my DH and 19 yo DS wear size 12. There are lots of big-footed men in my house, and I'm constantly tripping over their enormous shoes.
    You can't do anything to keep their feet from getting bigger. Just get to know places like DSW and Zappos!
    My 8 y/o is a size 5, but she's SHORT...
    for her age! I really hope she grows into her feet soon, looks like she has clown feet :) She's only 4 ft 3 in., but has some of the biggest feet for her age.
    You mean in clothing size? 12 to 14? nm
    .
    Try going up or down in band size.

    For example, try a 34 DD or a 38 C.  When you go up or down in band size, it changes the size of the cups.  I ended up having to do that and you'd be surprised how different the cup sizes are when you adjust the band size. 


     


    That bathroom's about the same size as

    Go on-line to JMS - Just My Size sm
    great selection, comfortable, plus they have workout clothes.
    By small, I mean size 7 or under. I only wish I was.

    Why are big size shoes always
    Short people don't have big feet, tall people do.
    I have seen clothes that were like size....sm
    20-something. I thought any store that carries plus sizes would carry up to very large sizes. At least that is what I thought. Maybe I am wrong.

    ...myself. Actually a size 12 but still too large around the middle. nm

    I don't remember my dress size
    being asked on any job applications. Are they supposed to be able to tell over the phone? Of all places to say this - around a bunch of people whose employers have, for the most part, never seen them!

    Average size woman
    Just heard that the averge size woman in America is 12 to 14.  Finally, I am above average in something.
    average size of women
    I belive this used to be the average size when I was a kid in the 50s and early 60s.  I remember helping my mom shop for dresses and patterns for dresses and she wore a 12.  My mom looked no larger or smaller than most other women those days even though she was small boned and wore petite size or whatever it was called then.  Of course, they could have changed the way they figure sizes since then.  She looked healthy and normal.   
    What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
    I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
    Maybe they are tired of the "fashion" for +size sm
    If you are not overweight, you have no idea how hard it is to find fashionable clothing that fits correctly for a reasonable price. And if they are younger women you are seeing, they probably do not want to wear the shapeless clothes and muumuus that every store offers for larger women. They want to wear what everyone their age is wearing. Unfortunately, they can't find it in their size, so they buy too small and wear it anyway.
    There are as good looking clothes for + size as
    for the smaller sizes. Check out the shopping channels, QVC and HSN, same price for small and then the +sizes. No reason for looking tacky and wearing clothing 4 sizes too small, just none at all, sorry.
    I was posting above and have found that being a size
    20 myself, I do the majority of my shopping on the shopping channels. I do not care for any clothing at Lane Bryant and lots of the other stores might have the bigger sizes but most dull until you get to Catherine's. They are more expensive so except for my black jeans at Kohl's (Gloria Vanderbilt) I buy almost exclusively for blouses, sweaters, coats, etc. from the shopping channels. The clothing is all the same price for very small as well as 3+ and very pretty.
    Think that depends on the size of the baby - sm
    my first was 7-1, second 8-3-- I do not remember any pain/discomfort after #1 (37 weeks) (except from the wonderful discovery of hemorrhoids from giving birth-they weren't there prior to the delivery) even with the 2 stitches from my slight tear and the D&C. Don't think they had me up and walking until the next day (day 3) though, my delivery was at 6:30pm, D&C at about 10pm-- was in for 4 days. #2 daughter though was a bit bigger (41 weeks) and I ached some for about 2 weeks. I was up and moving that day - morning delivery-10am - and was just fine - not running any marathons of course but able to walk fine, probably moved slower than I had to just to be careful.
    Wow, $35 is a great deal for a tree that size!
    Where I live that would easily be around $150!

    Junior clothing size conversion..

    How do you determine what size a junior 15 would be in misses?  How do you convert that?  Just trying to get an idea.


    Thanks!


    My downies vary a lot in size, which confused

    me for a long time because I thought the larger ones might be hairies.  The more I read the more I realized that hairies are significantly larger.  The hairy we had yesterday was even bigger than a red-bellied with a very long, sturdy beak.  There is really no confusing them up close.  From a distance it is more difficult. 


    I have at least 3 red-breasted nuthatches this year.  I just looked out and there were 2 on the tree eating suet and one on the wire watching the other two.  They are so cute. 


    You'd be smart not to bother getting newborn size.
    The baby would be out of them in about 2 weeks from what I remember, so much better to get the next size up.
    Here's another shot that shows his relative size.
    Yes, he is missing his tail. This species uses the tail as a single-use defense mechanism (where, when threatened by a predator, the lizard goes one way and the tail goes the other), and it does not grow back, unlike some other species.
    Yes, I did, and it is horrible...sm
    My puter has been doing some really strange things since I did.  The internet is sooooooooo slow and kicking me in and out, I'm about ready to scream, not to mention my line count for today..... Are you having the same problems?
    OMG. How horrible.
    My heart would have been pounding a mile a minute. Yes, I would have worried about the reaction, but I probably would have said something for the sake of the children. If they both went off and things got ugly then I would have had the cops come. You were in a public place so that would have helped a bit. He was WRONG TOTALLY. Your mom and sister saw everything and I would have kept at him if he went off. Cell phones with cameras are great to have in these kinds of situations. Again, how awful. Those poor kids. I am sure that was not the first time he hit them either. Especially in a public. YIKES.
    That's horrible. Not only
    should he be held accountable as an adult, whoever hired him needs to go to jail.
    How horrible
    Misha, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Good thoughts go out to CJ. Keep us posted.
    OMG that looks horrible
    Sorry took awhile to reply to this message. I looked at pics of hordeolum and its not that - thank goodness...those look so painful and awful. Another post said chalazion and it looks more like that, though some pics don't look too much better. I will keep "an eye on this". - How's that for humor. HA HA
    This is HORRIBLE!

    You need to get as far away as possible. You have a computer, so how about emailing your local Domestic Abuse hotline and see what they can do. Perhaps you should bcc to your sister all emails regarding your home situation. Also send her any replies that you receive. YOU DO NOT WANT HIM TO READ ANY EMAILS REGARDING YOUR FEARS AND WANTS!! Maybe your area has an underground process to move you and the kids to a safe place.....hundreds of miles away.


    Everyone...don't assume that she is not telling the truth. Stress can cause one to forget dates, exaggerate, or even make up something. I would rather see that she goes into a shelter and not a grave!


     


    this is horrible
    He wants to (literally) have his cake & eat it too? He wants to eat the same amount but spend less, & the way he will go about this is to starve you? Outrageous. Borders on, if not spills over into, abusive.

    All you are doing by going along with this is proving that his plan works. For heaven's sake, don't enable his creepy behavior by quitting eating! You eat what you need to eat, & the first time he can't have seconds he will know the plan is unworkable.
    this is horrible p.s.
    If you don't stand up for yourself (and your kids) you will end up with a son who treats his wife the way your husband treats you and a daughter who feels it is okay to be starved by her husband.

    I get that you have creditors, but you are a family. You can't have some members paying the price and others not. Either everyone eats a little less or no one does & you find a different way to deal with the situation. Food is not a luxury.
    It's not really that horrible!

    LMAO!  I have 9 cats that I love and adore, but I have threatened on more than one occasion to turn one into Kitty Stew if she doesn't quit peeing on the GD kitchen counters.  I go through Clorox Cleanup by the gallon.  They have 5 litter boxes inside and 600 square feet of a brand new enclosed porch with dirt floor that she can go in, but still the counters.........


    Clearly she knows I don't mean it because she is still doing it and just gives me that "I'm too cute for my own good" look.


    Wow--that is horrible.
    I am always surprised at how people wait around for others to die. (I understand the the OP did not allude to this.) But she did say that this woman was there for her when NOONE else was. That should count for something.
    I've found them to be close to the same Misses size,

    Check the file size... it might be a very small JPEG - sm
    so that they'll download/upload faster, and won't overwhelm the website with huge files. To get a less-grainy photo, try asking your daughter to email you the full-size file so you can save it to your computer for printing. For the best print quality, you want lots of pixels.... for example something like 1200 x 1800... to show the best detail. Then use your photo-editing software to make it whatever size you want for printing.

    When I save photo files to my PC, I usually know right away which ones I want to email (so I change them from large .bmp files to small .jpg files (around 75-200 pixels). If I'm going to be printing them, I just save them as large .bmp files. (When they're large they also come out better if you're going to Photoshop them.... clean up backgrounds, crop, etc.) If I want to email one of the .bmp files to someone later, I can always make it smaller and then copy it as a .jpg file for email purposes. (That way it doesn't take them half an hour to download one photo!)
    How horrible! But now I'm wondering..
    In first aid classes, I've learned about dealing with people who have heat stroke. Get them cooled off while waiting for help, etc. What should we do with an animal in such a situation? I would definitely have called the police, as you did. And I'm not questioning that you could have done more. I know you did the right thing. But if I should ever happen upon such a situation, is it a good thing to wet the dog down with water? Or would that be too much of a shock to its system? Does anyone know?
    Would I be a horrible person if
    I got my cats declawed? I'm totally against declawing, but my husband is REALLY mad and says either we get them declawed or they have to go. We just got brand new furniture and they have the arm of the sofa snagged up already, luckily it is the piece that is being replaced cause the delivery people broke a board on it bringing it into the house. I don't know what to do, I would never get rid of my cats for doing something that is in their nature. I already have scratching pads and a post and put the catnip on it. They must just have more fun scratching the furniture. Any ideas, suggestions?
    P.S. We were not registed either--- how horrible is that - nm

    Oh "Me" that is just horrible! :-(

    What an awful thing to be going through.  I have absolutely no advice at all here but, man, it's quite all right for you to have yourself a pity party--I would be a complete mess if I were in your shoes.  I take things way too HARD and can't just let them slide like other fortunate souls can, so I can certainly relate to how you must be feeling.


    You hang in there...this too shall pass. 


    I know! I had horrible symptoms (sm)
    And kept being told it might just be depression - I finally took the *&* antidepressants just to cope with not being diagnosed! It didn't help my illness but it helped me deal with it. Eventually they did an MRI of my brain and found pinpoint lesions all over it but never could tell me what they were from. I took antidepressants and sleep med and used lots of alternative remedies and juiced and ate as healthy and pure as possible for a year and finally got fairly well but still have a few leftover symptoms (ear fluttering, occasional muscle twitches) that will probably never go away. One doctor even suggested that I go to a massage therapist because some people would get depressed over not having enough "touch" in their lives - I had two children who hugged me all day and my husband and I were very "active."
