I'd rather be fat. LOL

People being thin skinned again.
Trashy people, as you stated, can live anywhere. Britney and her family definitely fit the classic trailer trash. Don’t have a thing against trailers, my father had 1, my aunt had 1, I had 1 before- but surely to goodness when someone says that you should understand matter of speech as to denote people who fit the bill of lower class. If you don’t fit that saying, then I would not worry.
People are so thin skinned now days, tell me
why if a woman could not have a baby, would she be going into a store and picking up a can of formula? Honest to pete, I have about heard it all now. There are millions of women who can or cannot have children. What is the big deal about birthing? You said all you have to go thru, like? This is an either you can or you can't. It is simple. I had children and chose not to breastfeed, did not feel any way different from a person who did. I think once labor you about have it made.
I'm sorry and I mean no offense...
but I just don't get what the fascination is with this whole story.  Why does anyone other than the family care where this woman is buried or who is or isn't at the church?  The AP boycotted reporting anything to do with Paris Hilton for a week.  I think Anna Nicole Smith should be next.
No offense taken
If you meant me, no problem, and no offense taken. I understand your point. I went to parochial school and all the kids in my class including the Headmaster's kid including the other pastor's kids were the ones who smoked in the bathroom, picked on people, etc. I think they were rebelling against their parents to test boundaries. I just wanted to let you see another side of the story. When I was a member and not a Pastor's wife, I was fascinated about the lifestyle or what they were like when they were at home (pastor and family). It was just a curiosity. I never realized that I stared, and watched, but I did. People do this to us now, and I have to realize it is just plain curiosity. No we don't walk around with our hands held in prayer every minute, and no we don't sing hymns every minute of the day or quote scripture. Actually we love to eat pizza and watch Law and Order when the children are with their grandma. And when the children are home they watch cartoon network and play outside like anyone else. Not offended at all in the least. Just wondering as a normal parent how in the world to raise perfect kids and I think I have no clue about that. I am just doing the best I can to raise them with a conscience. :)
No offense or anything, but the fascinating
thing about TV is that there is an off button. :)

Personally, I don't care for half of what the news reports, or at least attempts to report. There are much better sources for real information out there and not this show they put on.

I am one who has had an interest in watching what has been said through this whole ordeal, so I watch it.
No offense, but this is a no-brainer
GET OUT NOW, ASAP, for your sake and your kids. Don't think about why because you already have the answers. Just do it. It's wrong, it's over, period. May the light stay with you.
No offense to you intended, but
that is pretty much a no brainer. Of course they were degrading to her; she was degrading herself, so what to expect? I'm not trying to be down on people who do this for a living. I know there is great money to be made, but at the cost of self respect (usually, not always) and no respect from the clientele (almost always, whether or not the stripper is aware of this). Some people thrive on the attention (my cousin-in-law, for example, who brags about every male in the neighborhood wanting to 'do' her, etc. -- used to be a stripper and loved every minute of it; wishes she could still do it) Personally, I have had many a time where I was made to feel dirty by men, and I was not stripping for them or anything else. Leering just makes me uneasy, to say the least. Also, of the few strippers personally known to me, I always hear the same thing -- had to be drunk to do the job (again, not always the case, but it is what I have been told by several of them). Now, I have always said, if the men are s t u p i d enough, have at it and glad for those who make the money off of that, but I could never go there.
no offense to anying - I said *males*....sm
because we had an awful experience for a couple of years with a female orthodontist.......so no offense meant to anyone  
oh lawdy and now a typo - no offense to ANYONE...
geesh, where's my fingers today ?  *LOL*
No offense, but she needs a more explicit book. With pictures, for SM
her and her husband to try, eh, different things. We are not talking specifically romance here, but nitty. gritty, spark flying stuff.
I disagree with this poster. No offense, but this industry is STILL looking for good MTs to sm
pump out the workload as so many are either: A. Getting out of the business (by the hundreds). B. Retiring. C. Moving into editing, etc.

I've been doing this from home for about 10 years now.

Don't discourage someone from getting into this field. She wants to be with her family and make an income. MTing can help her do that!

And if down the road this profession is null and void, then she has something to fall back on. At least she HAS something to fall back on, unlike a lot of us here.

To the original poster, I wouldn't leave my kiddies for anything in the world. There is no care like your care. Do whatever you can to find work at home. Email me if you are looking for a work-from-home opportunity.
For most part, women dont go ballistic 1st offense.

Arthur Bryant's BBQ, No offense to you TN'ians but ya can't beat KC BBQ!

thin!

Thin....

I have a great family, so I am loved.  I have an awesome God, so I am forgiven.  I have a nice life, so I am content.


Would just really like to be thin again.  Heck, I'll settle for thinner


Great question, BTW!


For you thin MTs - how do you do it??? (sm)
I have met some of my coworkers and they are thin as can be - I have gained so much weight since I have been MTing full time.  How do you do it!!???
Is your child really thin?
I noticed you said soccer and dance- females have been known not to have periods at all if really, really thin. You will probably hear from others saying to take her to the doctor- I have a daughter and I would say probably is normal with just starting- it would not be that much of a big concern for me.
I'm thin and my husband is
sort of like that too. Nothing like what I'd heard men were like. Apparently the availability of internet porn is one possible explanation. On CSI they called guys who can't enjoy real women anymore a "porn creep." Another possible explanation is that he has an undiagnosed medical problem such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, so that the only time his body responds is in the morning, when testosterone is highest. This isn't just a sex problem; it's a communication problem. Getting guys to open up and express their needs/concerns/issues is tough. I've always been impressed with the way Dr. Phil discusses the differences between men and women, and how issues can be resolved, but out of laziness I'm not motivated enough to push my DH to resolve his issues. He does show his love and appreciation of me in many other ways, so I'm just living without the physical side marriage 99% of the time. Oh, my DH claims to want sex, but he also expects me to attack him in whatever way it is he wants to be approached, and I'm stubborn in my believe that he's the one that should be coming to me. That's all it would take to get me turned on, and the fact that I've actually been rejected many times when I tried to make hints or even flat out requests has really turned me off. Nope, if he wants it, he can just approach me.


Maybe you do have an eating disorder. You don't have to be thin
to have one.    If your weight is an issue you the one that has the power to change it.   Been overweight all of my entire life, but this is the year I'm determined to tackle it.  Just too bad I didn't do it 20 years ago. 
No, not really thin, but very muscular. Thanks for the reply. nm

ever try freezing the thin mints?

Oh, he still could be married. Never too rich or too thin! NM

Why do some thin women dress
like hoes? I'd rather see the outline of a roll through an ill-fitting shirt than see some girl's entire butt crack. That's just NASTY.
Don't be jealous of those who are thin...most CAN do something about their weight if they tried.

LOL, I like pizza in Italy...thin crust...sm
But there are many NY foods I crave (live in the south now)......actually entire neighborhoods I crave...Chinatown, Little Italy, Germantown, etc. 
Slather them with a thin coat of vegetable oil SM
and rub on some salt, pepper and a little red pepper.  Put them in a baking dish and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for an hour.  Then you can slather them with barbecue sause and serve with some rice and veggies.
That is what I thought too-blood!! and JuliA is way too thin.

Another good faith based one is Thin Within
you can Google Thin Within on the web also. It focuses on how you feel about yourself. After going through it for the first time I was able to separate ME and how I felt about ME from how I felt about the extra pounds I carry.

I have avoided Weigh Down because I have some issues with some beliefs and practices of the founders, but I have heard it is a well designed and good program.
Dancing Thick crust or thin
!
Do you think you look better with a little extra weight as you age so your face doesnt look as thin.
Just curious as to what you think. 
Thin socks ALL the time. Can't use my pedal barefoot or with shoes. nm
s
Shoes! Love shoes. Thin soles work best.
Don't be mad, but foot size might have something to do with it. I'm a 7 1/2 shoe size, and I suspect a foot much bigger than that might be a bit wide to easily hit the right pedal every time. Remove the shoe and your foot is narrower and you can feel the controls and not hit the wrong one. Just a guess because I've heard guys have the worst time with the pedal.
you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people

This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE!   I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.


it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.

I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case.  Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior.  Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!!  Thank you for the kind comments.  To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge.  You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.


I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
People who go around calling other people "low class"
have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.

For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)

Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
some people did, some people didn't. It's their choice.

If this helps...I know people who know people (sm)

who can make people disappear.      


Not really--I'd be lyin' if I said I never thought such things though!  ;-)


IME, people don't feel sorry for fat people either
They actually have less sympathy than they do for people who have substance abuse, IME.

At any rate, I do feel sorry for Britney but the safety of her children should be everyone's first priority, then her safety. It would seem to me that all these hangers-on she has are jeopardizing that safety. It's all just very sad.
Some people just look at me
like I am crazy. You should see the looks I get when she rides on my shoulder in the car. Most people associate rats with dirty animals, etc. They are just like a hamster, only very smart animals. Plus they don't bite like hamsters or try and get away from you. They want to be around you. They are very loyal and love attention. She's my baby.

Unfortunately, she has a cyst growing under her arm now though. She is getting old, and I know her time is coming. :(
OMG! You people are bad, bad, bad!!! I'm going to
!
For me, over 25 people to buy for......
including mine and my husband's immediate families we see separately Christmas eve and Christmas day. We also visit grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc. a week later. We don't have kids yet so still spend a few hundred on each other. It is probably closer to 1500 combined for us.
What about NJ? People here act like
they're the best beaches in the world and I can assure you they are NOT. LBI is the cute nickname now given to Long Beach Island which is a dump as are most NJ beaches and everyone acts like it's the Hamptons or something. Been to NC outer banks and loved it. No comparison.
I think there need to be more people...
in the world like you! You are doing a wonderful thing and are a shining example to your children!
Pet (Dog in particular) people -

I have a Lab/Pit mix, probably 8 or 9 years old, who has a terrible problem with itching and scratching all over.  I am hoping someone on this site has a solution for us. 


I will tell you what we have tried that has not worked. 


Benadryl has not worked. Seemed to help initially but stopped it and she shows no change.


Changing her food has not worked.  Have tried all kinds of food, wheat free, have not helped. 


Adding oil to her food, 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil twice a day, has not helped.  Seemed to help initially but she went back to scratching.


Getting her groomed with dry skin shampoo/conditioner has not helped.


What DID help was steroid injection and prednisone pills on a tapering dose.  But once the dose was tapered down, she started scratching some.  I dont want her on steroids indefinitely.  PLUS, the steroids made her very very aggressive and being part pitbull, that was not a good thing. 


When it gets to the point that she and I are both waking up multiple times during the night, I have to go back to steroids.  Before I do that, I wonder if anyone reading this has another remedy we could try before going to steroid route.


We also have a cat and I am beginning to think she may be allergic to the cat.  Do you think this is possible?  My vet technician told me it is possible but it would involve costly allergy testing and injections if it proves positive.  Would like opinions from others before I take her for allergy testing. 


Any info anyone could provide would sure be appreciated, not only by me but by my best friend who is suffering with this.


Thank you!


um, a lot of people don't go to the, uh, gym.
nm
I know 5 people who have had this...sm
1 has kept the weight they lost off.

2 had major complications after the surgery and 1 almost died - he was healthy before surgery.

4 lost weight but have regained most if not all of it. You can restretch the stomach back out by eating too much.
I like those too - I know a lot of people don't :-)

Yes, but LL should have people to look out for her
be watched 24/7, but LL could be and should be. She should be protected and anyone with any interest in this girl, either for financial or other, such as her mother, should be helping her better than this.

IMO there is no excuse for this. Maybe I am being harsh, but give me a break already with these celebs.
Just like with people
Recovering from surgery (procedures done with anesthesia) when they're older is harder for them, and you have to be super careful that they don't have any conditions that could be worsened by the medications. Please try everything you can before getting them declawed. I'm lucky, my cats love their scratch posts, but they also love picking at the carpet. I just buy rugs and stick them all over the place!
Those people should have given you (sm)
thank you notes BUT, when you give you have to give with a free and willing heart and not expect anything in return - even a thank you - because you will only get bitter waiting. Only give when you really want to and feel the need to and you will feel better about it I think.
