I'd totally trade the wrinkles in favor of being thinner.

In Reply to: I am only 5Ƈ". When I weight my desired weight (sm) - yes definitely
I'm an adipose tissue roller coaster...I start to pack on the pounds come fall and then start to drop it all come spring. It is so hard to stay active during winter...even everyday chores in winter aren't enough to keep my body type trim, and then there's all that glorious comfort food that shows up around those shorter, colder days that are of absolutely no help either.
Almost time to get that BBQ grill cleaned off and prepped for grillin healthy things like veggies and fish. Now, if I could only hide the blender on myself so those pesky Margaritas stay away....
MMMmmmmm....summer!

Mine look better when thinner, that's for sure.
The best way to slim down is actually by jumping rope because you avoid building your thigh muscles. You are mostly using your heart, lungs, feet and lower half of your calves and some tiny shoulder and wrist muscles. That's why it slims you instead of building muscles where most girls don't want to gain inches.
Not sure how long any of the self-tanner lotions or sprays will work if you are going to be in water a lot.
Once I hit my mid-40s, it got noticably thinner. Keep it
s
its different for everyone. i've been thinner,
and heavier and I still know I look good, and I feel good. BUT, doesnt mean plump people dont watch what they eat...the weight just comes on too fast if you let it all go, which could be scary...the bigger ya get the harder things get like, walking, exercise..things like that. I have never really had the choice. I just YAM WAT I YAM...
Happier when thinner
Because it is easier to buy nice clothes that fit well.
Definitely happier thinner
My weight fluctuates and have been up and down 15 or so pounds and I definitely have much more confidence and feel happier in general when I'm thinner and at my ideal weight.
Oh.. Wow, look at all those wrinkles...
Didn't realize it would be this large, thought maybe a little corner photo, I want to take it away!!!!!!!!! Had these beauty shots done at my salon a few years back, really don't know what to do with the pkg bought.....Ha ha

Avon's Anew line is excellent.
Need opinion on blood thinner experience sm
Have someone in hospital on the drip, but will come home in a few days with the pill form. She says "no dietary restrictions" and I am worried. You know how this profession is with the so-called "little knowledge" which is damaging. I've worked for many hospitals and have heard a lot in my day, but I am just an "in-law" and not considered "family" by her. I want to be helpful but nor buttinski, so I just say to be sure to speak to the doctor and perhaps a nutritionist before she leaves for home. Am I worrying needlessly? Just need another's opinion with this problem. For now, I am just shutting up. I really do care. She is lucky to be alive IMHO, don't want her to suffer anymore than she already has, legs to lungs, filter required. I know the warfarin is a very slippery slope and heard things like garlic and vitamin K cause problems. I know blood checks are a must. Perhaps I should just shut up and listen and mind my own business.
I liked how easy it was but it always made my wrinkles
it's too drying
wrinkles - best home remedy? sm
Can't afford facials in today's economy. I am a sun worshiper and it's taking a toll on my face, especially this winter. I have been moisturizing with some samples of face cream, sculpting lotion, etc., but I can't afford a hundred dollars for a little jar of stuff that may not work. I have exfoliated with sugar and honey, etc., and also have a big jar of cold cream as my heels are like sandpaper. Help! I look older than my stated age and it's very depressing. I am in the north so I can't get outside either! Winter blahs have set in and I don't want to get depressed. Any suggestions?Dermabrasion is out of the question, plus I have many allergies, afraid of permanent damage to my skin.
home skin care for wrinkles sm
Sun worshiper all my life; now my face looks like a roadmap of wrinkles. I am trying to lose a little weight but know this will make the wrinkles even worse. I cannot afford the fancy dancy stuff at the cosmetic counter. Have tried a few from Garnier, Olay, Ponds, but they do not work. I exfoliate with honey and sugar mask, moisturize, etc., still there! TIA

. . . one yummy tomato soup recipe for a EASY tasty beef stew recipe. Anyone?
CLASSIC TOMATO SOUP INGREDIENTS
*4 tablespoons butter
*2 tablespoons olive oil
*1 chopped medium onion
*coarse salt and ground pepper (or just use regular salt and pepper like I do)
*1/4 cup all purpose flour
*3 tablespoons tomato paste
*2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
*2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth (I don't use reduced sodium)
*2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes in juice (with basil if available) *If you have canned tomatoes from someone's summer garden, this is especially good.*
1. In 5-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat: add oil and onion, season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste, cook 1 minute.
2. To saucepan, add thyme, broth, and tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes with your fingers. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. (Remove thyme sprigs before blending).
3. Using an immersion blender (I use a hand mixer. What's an immersion blender?), puree soup in pot, leaving a fair amount of tomatoes in chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or let cool to room temp before dividing among airtight containers (leaving 1 inch of space at the top) and freezing.
This recipe came from the Everyday Food website at PBS.org. It is very yummy.

That last song definitely was not in his favor
It's always going to happen with those original songs they do. Obviously that was more of a Jordin song than a Blake song. The Clay-Ruben year, they each had their own song. Clay's was "This is the Night." I don't remember what Ruben's was. In any event, they didn't both have to do the same original song. With Blake and Jordin being so different, it would have been nice to have something more fair, more even, instead of Blake having to do something so totally not his style.
Wake up and do yourself a favor....
dump him and move on! There seem to be no redeeming qualities about him. You are either head over heels in love, afraid to leave or blind. You CAN do better, you have to want it and not allow yourself to be treated as a non-entity.
I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK AI PEOPLE
I record most of my AI shows so if you are going to post anything make sure you put in the subject that it's a moment breaker LOL!
I don't want to know who's going home before I watch it! :)
I'll try not to read the posts, promise!
Oh, and Rose should have definitely stayed. I liked her a lot! Tatiana needs to go on, her drama is like nails on a chalkboard!
I kind of like the multiple personality guy - at least he stays true to what he does! :)
Trade with China
... and this is only the beginning. When one considers China is still a communist country, does not have human rights let alone dignity for how it treats its animals, all I can do is shake my head. In China there is no such thing as environmental law. People and companies dump toxic waste every day in rivers and streams, excretment, human and animal, is strewn where they grow their food, animals are treated in a fashion that would horrify us, and dangerous chemicals are not controlled in their country to the extent they are here - so how can we expect them to have a standard we have been used to? And who can we hold responsible? Our government, the agency who is to supposed to protect us citizens. Since corporations run our government today,the agencies, namely the FDA can only do so much. The FDA in itself is in dire need of overhauling. This is a dangerous gray area we are entering. Coporations have much protection and sanctions when it comes to their business practices, and how much legally they are required to tell the consumer. The time has come for the American public to demand more from the companies we purchase products from, and as I always say, ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE. It is our right and responsiblity as American citizens to address these issues and demand change.
Trade jobs with him for a day
You may find that your job really is rather cushy! 
I'll trade
I'll trade... we can work anywhere LOL... This is true... I am sure that after a week even I'd be thinking about a flight home to the palm trees. But, if you are interested in trading, I live near Disney (never go, can't afford it), have a pool, live in a pretty country house and for the most part the only time you will sweat bullets is when you step a foot outside the house. Better make sure to bring money because they only allow you a few ounces of deodorant on the plane. Not that you stink but we do if we don't stock up on our Soft-N-Dry! OK then, at least throw me a virtual snowball now and then and I'll send you mickey mouse and his ears to visit for a while :)
He's actually a locksmith by trade.

I'll trade you
For the six inches of snow and ice in our yard. But seriously, I hope things clear up for both of us soon. I can't wait for Spring!
Vets here favor Frontline Plus
I think it's because of our warm climate meaning we have more of one or the other to deal with. I can't remember which way it is, but each vet we've been to here has preferred Frontline Plus. I'd ask your vet.
Do us a favor and hide the phone, please! : (
And can I ask why? Is it just because he is a "male" or what? Unbelievable.
They'd be doing everyone a favor (babies, grand-
favor if they took custody away from the little budding porn-star and let families who are TRULY loving and caring, (who didn't have them simply to get themselves in the spotlight), adopt and raise them, without sticking us with the bill.
well i can't say i'm in favor of legalizing meth
they are a naturally growing substances. I'm still perplexed as to how you can outlaw something that you can grow in your back yard.
Are you in favor of this legislation passing?
Georgia 'Octomom bill' would limit embryo implants
Story Highlights
*Georgia state senator says bill was inspired by "Octomom" Nadya Suleman
*Bill would limit women under 40 to two embryos, women 40 or older to three
*Critics call it a backdoor effort to outlaw abortions in the state
*Bill faces long odds of passing because of timing in Georgia legislature
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The tabloid-friendly tale of the so-called California "Octomom" continues to stir debate -- this time 2,000 miles away in the Georgia state capitol, where lawmakers say they're trying to prevent a repeat.
Proposed legislation regulating in-vitro practices came after Nadya Suleman gave birth to octuplets.
A Georgia state senator introduced legislation to limit the number of embryos that can be implanted in a woman's uterus during in-vitro fertilization procedures.
Sen. Ralph Hudgens, a Republican from near Athens, Georgia, said his legislation was inspired by Nadya Suleman, the woman who said she gave birth to octuplets after being fertilized with six embryos -- an unusually high number.
"She is not married," said Hudgens. "She is unemployed, she is on government assistance and now she is going to put those 14 children on the back of the taxpayers in the state of California."
Suleman, 33, had six children before the procedure.
Hudgens' plan, which was co-sponsored by several other senators, would limit the number of embryos a doctor could implant to two for women under 40 years old and three for women 40 or older.
Those numbers are slightly less than what's considered the norm in medical circles.
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine recommends no more than two embryos for women under 35 years old and no more than five for women over 40. The reason for allowing more embryo's in women over 40 is that it is more difficult for them to get pregnant.
State lawmakers in Missouri are considering a similar bill. And England and Italy have had similar limits on the books for years.
At least some fertility doctors say the limits in Hudgens' bill would hurt chances for women to get pregnant. They say that while three embryos are usually enough, there are special cases when they need more.
"What this bill will effectively do is shut us down," said Dr. Daniel Shapiro, a fertility doctor in Atlanta. "Patients seeking reproductive care in Georgia will go to Tennessee or South Carolina or Alabama. They will just leave."
Breaking the law would carry a fine of up to $1,000 under the legislation.
Some critics of the plan also see another problem, calling it a backdoor effort to outlaw abortions in the state.
The bill, which Hudgens titled the "Ethical Treatment of Human Embryos Act," contains language that says "a living in vitro human embryo is a biological human being who is not the property of any person or entity."
The anti-abortion group Georgia Right to Life issued a news release in support of the bill on the day it was introduced.
"Georgia Right to Life supports Sen. Hudgens in this legislation and wants to see strong protections in place to stop the dangerous practice of implanting more embryos than is medically recommended," the group said, saying the plan would help avoid premature births and low birth weight in in-vitro fertilization cases.
Realistically, the bill faces long odds of passing -- at least in the near future. Tuesday was Day 25 of the Georgia legislature's 40-day session. Legislators will meet 10 more days, then take a break until June, when lawmakers will consider how money flowing to the state from the federal economic-stimulus plan may help their ongoing budget woes.
According the the Georgia legislature's Web site on Tuesday, Hudgens' bill had been read and assigned to a committee, but no other action had taken place.
Some Georgians from the lawmaker's part of the state say they hope he has to keep waiting for a long time.
"Unless the senator is a physician, ethicist or other informed professional, he should step aside and let the medical professionals determine what is best in individual cases," Dorothy West wrote in a letter to the Editor of the Athens Banner-Herald, Hudgens' hometown paper. "There are other issues more important to the citizens of Georgia that should be addressed."
Have Bose, he is a chef by trade and
the first year we were married got all kinds of different beers for him, he loved that. Could do that but seems redundant.
I'm all for legalization (though not necessarily in favor of taxation), but (sm)
...at least if pot were the drug of choice, rather than alcohol, we'd have a lot fewer belligerent people out causing fights (though, perhaps, the shoplifting stats for cookies, chips and pop might rise ).
Fewer DUI deaths ... have you seen how slowly and carefully a pot smoker drives? LOL.
Years ago... (~20) I went to San Diego for a trade show -sm
my boss left me after 3 or so days for another trip and left me to pack up, etc. I had been scared at the beginning of the trip being only 22 or so at the time. But I had asked to stay a day after the close of the show so I could do sightseeing. I took the rental car and drove up the cost to the San Diego Wildlife park (alone) and had a blast. Best day I have ever had a zoo, granted this was not your ordinary zoo. It was nice driving down the Pacific Coastal Highway too and seeing the ocean on the west coast (I am from the east coast). I have not had the opportunity to do this ever since, planned to but never did a trip to England I wanted to take alone. But I never felt alone at the hotel or anything, eating alone was the only thing that bothered me in the resturant in the hotel; did drive through otherwise. Go and enjoy yourself. I plan to take off for a week so with the kids next summer and go camping, sightseeing, etc. and if my DH can come great, if not it will be just me and the girls!
we once TOWED our trade in to the dealer - no probs! nm

Amen Sister! She is totally unrealistic! Totally. Loved your post! sm
My grandparents (from VT), will tell you that my grandfather began farming at 6-7 under the supervision of his 10 year old brother. haha No major incidents - his mother tended the home and ran a nursery and she did have the siblings watch over each other. I didn't even think about all of this until you mentioned the farming post. I loved it!
I, for one, need plenty of sleep - so I must work during the day while they are here...Oops, I gottah go! My 2 year old just fell off the kitchen table.
just kidding
You're crackin' me up....locksmith by trade!...Perhaps a cat burgular?.
Totally, totally agree.
You feel inadequate and no matter what you do - you feel like it is not enough - and that is depression. Get on some medication, or get some therapy and start taking time for yourself and enjoy life. Been there and done that myself - STOP FEELING GUILTY - you deserve better!!
Totally against the war
said it right from the start, told my husband the war was of no use, more and more that is being proven true, hate that young guys are being killed there day after day, the middle east never had as many bombings as they do on a day to day basis now, blood being shed all over the place, the house not wanting to give more money for a no win war, I lived through Viet Nam, no difference here, just different land. Mark my word, different president, the war will be a thing of the past and yet all these fine lives lost.
I am totally
terrified of the draft. I posted earlier about my son wanting to go to Africa next summer and me not really wanting to let him go. I guess you know what my answer would be to the above question so I guess I shouldn't say anything at all.
I was totally going to say
me too!
Oh, but what I've gained ...
(I'll think of something).
Totally think it is really none of your
business that they are working. You don't have any authority and your supervisor is the one to tell them NOT to work. If they have been told not to work and they are, that is between them and the employer.
totally.
My imagination is way too fertile. When someone tells me they are "trying to get pregnant" or they remember the moment their kids were conceived, it's exactly like showing me photos of the deed. Photos I'd way rather not see. ick.
I totally get what you are saying sm
and feel 100% the same way. If I had the means financially, I would help whomever and whenever, my hubby feels the same. However, to not respond to someone who is reaching out to you, I feel, is unforgivable. I would also like to say, give it some more time - you don't know what the situation is and I feel someone who has as big a heart as you obviously have, should hold it open just a little longer.
Totally agree. nm

Totally agree with you!
Santa Claus was a wonderful time for me and my children. I did not suffer any ill effects from knowing the truth. This is a magical time for children. They believe in goblins, ghosts, the Easter Bunny, play friends that only they can see and talk with, fairies among lots of others. Why in the world would anyone want to deny a child the pleasure of thinking they are that important that this man in the red suit is coming especially to give them presents. It really made me feel special but I guess other parents want to cut some of the fun time from the child's life.How sad....
I totally agree with you, well said.
I find that others think since I work at home, they can interrupt me any time they want, I am expected to cover things while they are at work, etc. I want to be left alone during my work hours to do my work. I have worked in offices where you were not allowed to have personal calls during work hours, which is fairly common. I think I am going to disconnect my phone during my work hours. Sometimes I feel by working at home I don't get the same respect for my job than others in my home that work outside the home.
Totally inappropriate.
He sounds like he's good at his job and also at flirting. He is interested in getting to know you better? Why doesn't he just come out and say - hey baby, how about a roll in the hay? Keep us posted if you pursue this. I'd like to know how things go. Believe me, he knows he's good looking. Good Luck and be careful.
Oh, I totally agree with you there...sm
these are the kids my daughter deals with every day, but she understands at their age, they didn't ask for their circumstances. No child at age 8 or 9 should know anything about sex, using the B word, MF word, and other stuff. They can't write a sentence but they can tell her how to get more food stamps, how their older sister had another baby so she could get more money in her check....the stories go on and on. But the point we started out with was GI upset...they can't help being made take meds that make them physically sick.
I am totally out of debt -
house, cars, motorcyles, credit cards. Everything!
It feels great!
I totally agree with you...
Just a curious question. We are only as young (or old) as we feel, right! I am 37 and feel (most days) much, much younger...like I said before, it is a relative question...thanks for your reply! 
Totally agree. nm
x
lol, totally NO CLUE..
I'm sure all the neighbors talk about that nut job around the corner who breastfed her very large baby at the ball park! C'mon now...can't even give the kid a juice box or something at baseball time? Something wrong with this picture. I seriously hope she's joking.
