I agree! Many kids are overweight, lazy and don't want to work hard for anything!
Good luck to them in the working world...how many do you think will actually do well? It's a scary thought.
Yep, I agree. I should have said "fear you to your face"(nm)

Agree and disagree....all depends.

For the majority of the jobs out there, total waste of time unless it's just a stepping stone to get a higher degree and ya have to do it little by little because of time, cost, etc. 


However, sometimes it's the experience employers want and they are happy with a GED so long as the job they want gets done and gets done the way they want it.  One of our buds has a Bachelor's in computer somethin' or other and has been looking for work for well over a year now.  Our other bud, who has real-life experience, is pulling $100,000 doing computer stuff and only has a high school diploma! 
(Yep, always frosts our tuckases to hang out with him and have him brag about that fact too! )


IMO depends on age of people. If youngish, agree with big deal.

Were you always in shape before that or did you start at 49? nm

You only wear them for 1 year unless your teeth are in really bad shape. nm

Buy her a few good Joyce Meyer CDs. that ought to shape her up! HAHA

I've always been in fairly good shape (ski, bike, etc.) But - sm
there are some people I skate with who are heavy and skate just fine. One girl in particular is actually obese, but is an amazing skater & dancer.... very flexible, too. Unfortunately she has chronic ankle problems that have kept her off skates for the past couple years, so she bikes, instead. One skater has only one leg... has a fake one made to fit his inlines, and he goes like the wind... I sure can't catch him! :)
Some daily exercise does wonders for mood, self-esteem, and changing your shape. Start off with

Thanks - other than being overweight
He's healthy. He could stand to lose about 50 pounds (but I could stand to lose about 75 pounds) I understand the question of Alzheimers/dementia. I didn't make that real clear in my last post. It's not stories that he repeats over and over, its just what he wants to do. Like he'll come out and say he thinks we should move to another location (larger town where there is more work), then he'll come in 5 minutes later with all this stuff he found on where he thinks we should move to, then about a half hour later he'll come in talking about the same area, and 1/2 hour later comes in telling me more stuff about the area. To me it's a repeat over and over and over. This is all while in the middle of me trying to work, then he gets mad and says I'm not interested cos he's the only one finding the info and I have to be involved blah, blah, blah. So, it's not really a repeat of stories like that, just more of a discussion of the same topic over and over and over. But I understand exactly what you were thinking. If it could only be that easy. I've had close family members (an aunt had dementia, and a grandfather had Alzheimer's) and I helped family take care of them and I'll tell you...that was a lot easier than this is. It's probably harder because he doesn't have them and he thinks he's sane and this is normal. I did tell him once, fine, lets pack up everything up the following week and move and then he got all p!ssy at me and told me forget it if I was going to have that attitude. I said to him all I keep saying is lets take a drive there, lets do more research, then make the move wisely and not just jump. As for the other issues of doom and gloom and end of the world scenarios...well I told him life has to go on and that's what I told him. I always hear people say prepare for the worst and hope for the best (think that was in a movie), but I just can't live like everything is going to end in the next couple days. There has got to be some hope.
Being overweight. I'm not
happy with the way I look or feel & am very self-conscious about it.
Being overweight sure is a choice, just like sm
smoking cigarettes or doing drugs is a choice.  If you are making the right food choices, exercising, drinking water, or even following a Weight Watcher's plan, you will lose weight, unless you have a problem with one of your organs where you retain "water weight".  I, quite frankly, am tired of people sitting around asking "how do I lose weight" when they are not making good food choices and not staying active?  If you have trouble with arthritis, then you can do aqua therapy (get in a pool even if it is heated).  Anything that gets your heart rate up is exercise.  The "government" is not at the grocery store holding your hand or at that fast food restaurant making you buy those burgers.  I'm sorry, but that is JMO. 
Unfortunately most men say that to women who are overweight.
Pay more attention to who he is checking out/drooling over on TV - bet it isn't Roseann Barr or Camryn Manheim! lol
I'm not overweight or a smoker,
and since I'm not an addict, I can see clearly. Smoking makes no sense, which is why people are trying to educate children, who then assume you don't understand the risks and try to educate you. Logic states that if you understood the problems tobacco causes, you would not smoke. That is why kids are kind to you and try to educate you on the subject.
I have a very overweight beagle....sm
She just went to the vet the other day and he didn't seem too concerned. She weighed 40 pounds. She weighed 30 before being spayed. I told him she barely eats much. There is no way the weight can come from overeating. He said she is fixed right? I said yes. He said well that happens sometimes. They gain a lot of weight due to the hormone changes. I knew it had to be that cause she didn't get like that until we had her spayed. So I figured that was it and it is. So he said not really much you can do. She is very lazy though. My husband said put her out in the backyard and make her get some exercise. Well the backyard is fenced in so I put her back there and she lays out in the grass and looks at me after going potty. I said come on get up and play. She just looks at me like I can be lazy inside or lazy outside but I am going to be lazy. LOL
I was "only" 65 lbs overweight with 2nd pregnancy...
but I was so horribly ill with 24-hour morning sickness that I walked out of the hospital 12 pounds lighter than I was at the beginning of my pregnancy. I certainly wouldn't recommend that method of weight loss! I was in and out of the hospital the entire time of my pregnancy for dehydration and IVs. Every moment of that pregnancy was a struggle with food; thinking about it, trying to keep it down, worrying about the baby.

In the end, it worked out. He was born 2 weeks early and was 8 lbs, 2 ozs. Within 24 hours I was eating like a horse again, and I was great while nursing for 6 months. But eventually, the glory days of eating and not gaining weight were gone. Now, 17 years after that pregnancy, I'm 80 pounds overweight. Sigh.


Why do very overweight/obese women
wear tops that show all the bulges and fat rolls that they have. It does not look good and I just do not get it. It looks like the tops are about 2-3 times too small. Any answers on this?
I am confident but also overweight and I have the common sense
to not wear clothing that I look like a sausage in. I have upper arms that do not look good in short sleeves so I do not wear. I do not think it has anything to do with confidence, I definitely am not short on that and admire myself in good looking clothes but I know what and what does not fit properly. Any woman who likes her fat rolls showing, her midrift bulging and several different bellies hanging down all at once does not ooze confidence to me, rather seems like they are insecure and dressing so maybe someone might notice.
Who's jealous? I'm not overweight. I just choose not to dress
like a prostitute, or someone proud of their anus hairs - lol. I've obviously struck a nerve with you though... Don't worry, you'll grow out of it someday and realize you're worth more than that.
Egg on his face as in him saying
that the YOUNG women were going to go in droves to vote for her as they did not want to take care of their own selves, either getting a husband to take care of them or else having government to do. I know older women voted that way, their choice but I said egg on his face for making such remarks on and on about how YOUNG women (under 35) were going in that direction. Has absolutely nothing to do with her leading- has everything to do with a statement completely false. Now are you still confused?
Egg on face
I personally know of at least 10 to 15 ladies that feel it is the man's place to take care of them and that is all they want out of life -- they are between 38 and 50.  So now what do you say -- sorry I do not want this lady voted for because she is a woman, and I definitely do not want her leading us.  But that is for the political board and not here.  But egg on face -- you have some now.
Maybe take it for it's face value
and just accept it in the spirit in which it may be given.  Only you know the relationship you have with her.  She may have just gotten the proverbial bug up you know where and decided since she got a discount to use it.  It may be an olive branch of some sort.  Who knows.  I'd take it as an olive branch unless and until she proves otherwise.
What Do You Have On Your Face?
I wear very natural looking make up - but today I was cracking up when getting read at how much crap is on my face.

After washing ::

Serum
Moisturizer (both things Dr Brandt)
Face Primer (either Smashbox or Sephora brand depending on mood)
Foundation (tarte with SPF 30)
Blush/Bronzer
Eyeliner (MAC)
Kohl (MAC)
Mascara (fiberwig)

No lipstick- allergies.

What is usually on your face???

Face
Usually nothing more than a little chapstick since I work from home.  If I'm leaving the house, a little foundation but right now, nothing.  I even forgot the chapstick this morning LOL.
Face Creams

I was wondering if any one has any good suggestions for face creams.  I use to use the Mary Kay face cream line, but I would like to try something else.  Any suggestions? 


Thanks!


face pain
Need to know if anyone else has face pain.  It is under my eyes and on the side of my nose.  Sometimes it is so bad I could scream.  It feels like sinuses but CT scan was normal.  Only goes away with ibuprofen.  How long can I take ibuprofen for?
face pain
thanks
What a face! Sweet!

shingles on face

About 4 years ago, I had a mastoidectomy the middle of May.  The middle of June, I came in exposure range with a child with chickenpox at Wal-Mart, and 2 weeks later I developed shingles.  Could have been coincidence, but I figure stress related, and I, too, have hypothyroidism.  No other testing was done, but it hurt so bad I couldn't even touch my hair let alone my head.  I had it on right forehead, bridge of nose, and up through scalp. 


By the way, something else that really helps with the healing process and pain of it all is Pantothenic acid capsules from the herbal store. 


What a face! Love him!
I think we are blessed to share our lives with these animals, they love so unconditionally.  My heart breaks when I hear about animal abuse. 
What a wise looking face.
I'm sorry about your husband's death.  You must both miss him very much.
Well maybe the body but NO WAY that face.
I'd rather be fat and pretty. LOL
She looks to have had a face lift that
did not go well. She has not appeared anywhere in 7 years so quite a different look than when I last saw her.
Keep your hands off your face
and be very gentle with the skin around your eyes and face. I see other people rub their eyes and faces vigorously when they're tired, and when the hands come down, I see wrinkles around the eyes. I'm 45 and people think I'm as young as 26. I do have the dark circles, which I have to cover with 16-hour foundation in a shade lighter than my regular foundation. Then I set with powder. I sometimes apply a dab of pink powder to the darkest areas or the inside corner area. This is what the makeup artist from What Not To Wear does to counter darkness. Preparation H is supposed to shrink bags.
How often can she wash her face? sm

Can you imagine having to take all of those, or even 1/2, off first?  What a job.


Anyone used Strivectin or similar for face? (sm)

I am looking for something to help with mostly discoloration/sun spots, and wrinkles.  I see all the ads for Strivectin and such but hate to spend that much without knowing it will actually work.  Has anyone used it and was it any good?  Or can you recommend anything else?  Thanks!


Oh my gosh - what a cute face and
what rich colors. Those ears look so soft.

That's one handsome beagle!

I bet beagles like games where you hide their favorite treat or toy and they have to sniff it out.



I just had to splash icewater on my face!
Doncha just hate the afternoon run downs?  Coffee just doesn't work on me for some reason...all it does is make me pee but doesn't jazz me up or anything.  I'm actually looking forward to the cool weather because for some reason THAT is what gets me going and feeling frisky.  :-D
Several have come forward to plaster their face on TV
and apparently he inappropriately touched some of them so yes he is on the wanted list. You would think by the time women get to be, oh say 17 or 18, that they would have the sense to know when something really wrong as in this case. One lady shown long enough in the tooth to know much better!!
Yes they do. And the man is always portrayed with a big smile on his face and being SM
the stud ready to perform. There is no talk about any bad odor or offending anyone.
what? get in your face? that's why i started with HAHA
i suppose this is the trouble with typing you can't hear my tone. I certainly was not "in your face" and i thought my last paragraph about you never know was not derogatory or rude or anything
im sorry if it came off that way, not intended.
He is adorable...he just has a boxer face to me...
not pointy like some pits are...
Yes, this is also true: With smaller ones in the face..
they use laser nowadays, before that just electricity or a saline injection.
Had the same thing happen with face cream
I just happened to open the box before I got to the register.  Instead of Neutogena, someone had swapped with Suave.  If the packages open easily, I always check the contents.  I love/hate that store.  Last weekend I got a whole buggy full of groceries and there are only 2 lanes open out of 20.  The only others were self checkout.  I had to bag my items and place them on the floor because my buggy is full and there is no place to pull the items out of the buggy until you scan them.  I let loose on the asst. manager that was standing nearby and she said they just couldn't get any help.  I said well, maybe if you paid more, but then wait! they probably make more than I do as a MT anyway! 
lol Folks, she has an excuse why she'll never face
Besides, we all recognize the ridiculousness of this type of boasting control.

I need some heavy duty face cream...
…I have some areas on my face that are extremely dry, around my hair line, around my nose and I have used several creams trying to soften these areas up. Sometimes I even flake on my eyelids like I have sunburn and I use dandruff shampoo on my eyebrows because if not they will flake- no dandruff in the hair, though. I know this sounds awful but this is getting on my last nerve. I have put petroleum jelly on my face overnight- still dry in these patches. Does anyone else have something like this and if so any remedies? Thanks
I almost went blind from it as I broke out on half of my face and they
were invading my cornea but never penetrated through. I had them actually while on the delivery table with my son!! It was frightening to say the least, I looked like a monster for about 1 week, started healing after week 2 and then had terrible pain weeks 2 and 3. I was popping 800 Motrin without even looking at the clock, the only time in my life I was a pill popper!! Anyhow still can't tweeze my eyebrow on that area without strange neuralgia, when I get tired or stressed I feel the tingling, feels like my eyelid is drooping but no residual effects other than that. If it ever happens again (this was 16 years ago so knock on wood) I will just go somewhere with a bottle and drink myself to sleep for 3 weeks.
I am about 5Ɗ" and weight about 125 and I my face looks exactly as you say drawn and sunken.
not sure what weight to go to to get rid of that look but I am sick of it.

I personally have a naturally round face...sm
so, no I don't think extra weight looks good ON ME, and I have enough of it right now.  It all boils down to personal preference, I guess.  Like with most things of this nature.
