I am now on 9...Stephanie Plum is a great character. I love the East Coast references because I grew up in Philly, so TastyKakes have a special place in my heart!

I hooked up with my dear friend after 30 yrs
She was my first roommate - We lost contact because both our phone #s were and still are nonpublished for 40 years.......her son is my godson - we all rehooked up, I flew to see them in the mountains - it was TRULY LIKE 30 years HAD NOT PASSED! Yes, we all look older but it was like we just picked up where we had left off. It was a great feeling. And her son and I see each other 4-5 times a year, he and his children stay here regularly.
Hope you find the same!!! Old good friends are hard to replace.....
Yes! love it!! I got hooked last year!
I don't agree with the polygamy lifestyle either, but never seen it before. Maybe that is why it is so fascinating!!
A friend of mine has this
and she has accupuncture monthly which says helps her tremendously. She also changed her diet around a lot but I don't know the details of that. I'm sure you could Google it tho'.
A friend of mine had the same
problems as you did. I'm sorry you spent so much money for such a lousy vacation. A friend wanted to come home early because of the same things you mentioned.
I experienced the same thing in Puerto Rico. I found the people to be very rude. The hotel was nice but unfortunately not the people. I would never set foot there again.
I just returned from Aruba and absolutely loved it. We stayed at the Riu Palace and it was so beautiful. The people were exceptionally nice and went out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The food was excellent. The beach and water were beautiful. I plan on returning next year.
A friend of mine only had a
viewing/wake for immediate family & close friends only & didn't have a formal funeral. Sometimes I think that's the way to go. It always seems insensitive to me how everyone treats a funeral like a party, laughing and having a good time while the family is so torn up. It doesn't seem very respectful.
A friend of mine got her
accounting degree from Phoenix University, and she has an accounting job now.
Just ran into a friend of mine tonight who see msg
is doing a lot of research and warned me about the harmful effects of microwaves on food. Studies show that cholesterol levels in many studies is actually elevated in foods when heated in a microwave. There are other effects as well.
Also, I used to take the warnings about aspartame rather lightly, hearing both good and bad. Last year on the Today Show they reported that a study from Duke University claimed it was safe. I think after tonight and after doing a search on it I will try to avoid it altogether. I think I am safer with sugar or Stevia.
Just wanted to pass this along. I know this information is probably not new, just somewhat shocking and worrisome to me.
I've never had one but a friend of mine
did. She was 15 at the time and after a lot of pressure from her parents and her boyfriend's parents, she had one. She still feels guilty to this day.
Personally, I am pro-choice. There are just too many variables to make it 1-sided. Fortunately, I've never been in the situation of having an unwanted pregnancy. I have always used birth control (2 forms before I got married and then just the pill after marriage). I've had 3 pregnancies, each of them planned. We've decided that we do not need anymore children, so I've had a tubal. If that ever fails, I would carry the pregnancy, unless it posed a significant health risk to me. I'm not thinking of myself in this case, but my 3 children who need a mom.
I do think that abortion has become a method of birth control for so many. There need to be limitations and guidelines to its use, but please don't take it away completely. I also believe that pregnancy has become a way for many young, unwed, uneducated mothers to get a free check every month. I think those children should be adopted out, also. But these are just my opinions.
A friend of mine was treated much
worse than that right after surgery. For one thing they wouldn't even fix the broken A/C even though her room was about 90 degrees! The plastic surgeon botched her surgery, so she had huge open wounds he couldn't close. She was allergic to tape, and could only tolerate one kind, but even as she'd tell nurses this, they'd stick Band-Aids on her! So it wasn't even just ONE bad nurse - the whole bunch was careless at best all the way up to sadistic. She should have sued.
Sounds like friend of mine
A friend once told me that when she goes to a restaurant she and her husband get down on their knees and pray at their table. I asked why they do that. Her response was "We are setting a good example for everyone to see"
A pilot friend of mine
who flies in and out all the time said he wouldn't take his family there OR let his children ever go there for spring break or anything else. It's too dangerous. There's a lot the tourist are lucky they didn't run into. Kidnappings are taking place more and more as the drug business is booming and people being held for ransom to make MORE money. Innocent tourists have been killed in crossfire in drug related shoot outs. I just say better safe than sorry; there are lots more places to vacation than this.
A good friend of mine had a lap band
However there are a lot of hoops to jump through testing wise before you can have those procedures done including a psychiatrist. Also if you do not follow the directions you can become sick, which means you cannot over eat and must exercise. She is doing fine with it, but did it mainly because her back bothered her so much. Come to find out her back is still an issue and she needs surgery to correct that. So, if it is a last resort, I'd say it is worth a try, but I would not do it with all of the complications and risk of infections unless it is a serious must.
Friend of mine got the same note from her kid, but she was only 23 at the time.

I'm a "healthy gal" as a friend of mine likes to say
Just a bit over 200 pounds now, which I never thought would happen to me. I was always able to hover around 150 until I hit my mid 30s and then I just packed it on like a bear going into hybernation. I started WW in April and lost most of those 11 pounds right away. Then vacation came along and I just got out of the habit. I KNOW the program works. My grandmother did it in the 1970s and was lifetime member until the day she died. You just have to make up your mind it's time to get serious. I'm convinced no diet or lifestyle change will stick unless you're ready to commit 100%. I'm back on track again and hope to be in Onderland (below 200, as it is called on the WW chat boards) very quickly.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Like I said, it isn't easy.
A friend of mine did some prostitution for awhile
It was before I knew her. She was very young and homeless and trying to survive. While her case isn't what we're talking about here, as she would have been underage anyway, I still can't imagine putting someone in jail and calling them a criminal because they're trying to survive the only way they know how. And of course, once you have that criminal record, it makes it even more difficult to change your life circumstances. It breaks my heart to think of her as young girl and everything she went through. Today you'd never know she lived that kind of life unless you really knew her and could see the emotional scares she carries (most of which aren't from the prostitution but from the abuse and incest she survived). She's an amazing person, with a huge heart, who spends most of her time fighting against poverty for those who can't speak for themselves.
While I don't know the mind of a prostitute, I'd imagine that most fall into the profession because they have few options available to them. Some don't have options, family support, education.
I think by leglizing and regulating it, you'd have less disease and less drug abuse.
A friend of mine stayed in a very nice chalet when she went. SM
I can't remember the name of the place, but very quaint A-frame chalets. They didn't have indoor pools or anything like that, but there was a pool on the complex. The location was awesome from the pictures I saw. They seemed to be in the woods surrounded by trees and a stream right next to the cabin. I'll see if I can find out the name of the place. She was pretty friendly with the lady who ran the place and has stayed there several times.
I am invited to a Birthday party for a friend of mine, whom
I have known for many years. Her mother and my mother were friends. Her mother died a few years ago.
The problem is that I am a nonsmoker and my family all 100% nonsmokers. I maintain a smoke free environment at all costs. My friend smokes heavily as well as about 95% of her family. They will all be there. I have some health issues, not respiratory, and I do not want the second-hand smoke exposure. In addition, my eyes burn, my hair and clothes reek of smoke, etc. What do I do? This is a special birthday for her marking a milestone. If I don't go it won't look good. . . if I do go I will be very heavily exposed to the smoking for the duration of the party, I am sure. What do do? Thanks for any advice you can give. 
A friend of mine told me about these cute blankets
She's making them for her nieces, and her daughters (11 and 8) actually want to give their cousins these blankets. She also bought the fabric from a local craft store and plans to attach a book. Gift done with love! Love homemade gifts!!
A very good friend of mine had ablation and no regrets.
She has no more periods. This is just a little over a year, and she was having very serious problems, had to have transfusion twice due to the heavy bleeds prior. She was willing to try this before hysterectomy, and it worked for her.
A friend of mine is a chemist (Ph.D.) and specializes in solvents.
She knows exactly how various detergents work, and she says Tide is the best. I can afford to use Tide, because I use so little detergent. We have a front-loading washing machine and it uses much less detergent that top loaders. Rather than use detergents made specifically for front-loaders, I just use a very tiny bit (about the size of a quarter) of liquid Tide. I get a small bottle with coupons, and it lasts me months doing laundry for 3 people.
This happened to a friend of mine from high school........sm
He had mono after we graduated from high school and was off work for about 5 weeks. He went back to work too early and, while driving home from work one day, his spleen just burst and he crashed into an oncoming log truck, killing him instantly. It was really a double tragedy because the first people on the scene to find him were his mom and dad, who had a bad heart anyway. His dad suffered a major MI on the spot and had to be taken to the ER. His poor mom lost her son that day and almost lost her husband.
A friend of mine has a husband with myasthenia gravis
and it affects his eyelids. He can't hold them open and had special glasses made witih a wire that he puts under both eyelids for support. I hope it's not that, and certainly may be something else, but I think an ophthalmology exam is in order and then maybe referral to a neurologist. Good luck. Keep us posted.
Sounds likea control freak and a doormat. Friend of mine just divorced after 23 yrs of being the
s
Love them too! My friend started me on them...I am
on 9 right now and I laugh out loud at them.
I LOVE Wilson. I wish I had a best friend that cute!
I don't like the "I see dead people" storyline, there was enough of that ridiculousness on Gray's Anatomy.
Love mine
I have gotten used to strong coffee and love mine. The only thing I did not like was that it does not keep it warm and so now after pressing it, I pour it into the stainless steel carafe that came with my old coffee maker to keep it warm. I also grind my own beans, could never go back to Folgers again.
I love mine ...
I would have never thought my heavy chest could be supported without an underwire and comfortably so but this bra works great for me:
Playtex 18-Hour
Model/Style #4088
I wear a 46DD. Love this bra!
I love mine
I got one of the larger ones and use it almost daily. I love it.
love mine
I have had mine for a while but I really don't use it as much as I could - usually just for pizza and cookies. .
Use mine EVERY day!! Love it (sm)
I use it for baking crescent rolls, biscuits, pizza, put it underneath cake pans, wrap meat in foil and cook it on it. Baked french fries, chicken tenders, etc. Love it, love it. It looks awful at this point, but I love it!
Oreck. I love mine. nm

We went out together and I chose mine - and love it
your boyfriend sounds very immature. Good Luck!
Love mine. Be sure to buy one where you can remove sm
the grates (sp). I have an older one and it is a pain to clean. I've ended up putting foil on the bottom and top to make it easier to clean.
I love these cats of mine but need some help
They are clawing my 2 leather couches. I today put down some sticky side up tape and hoping maybe after they touch that it will tell them NOT to do that again but does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks.
Absolutely love mine
I don't know what we'd do without it. It was well worth the money in my opinion. In fact, we're going away for three days tomorrow and we already have it set up and ready to go. Saves a lot of arguing and map reading.
Planning on using mine for chicken tonight - We love it!
We use it a couple times a week!
I love Bell's Seasoning mixed in with mine.
...along with the ol' standby's of mayo, onions, black pepper, and I line my bread with cranberry sauce.
Now I'm really really really hungry!
I LOVE mine; my elec bill dropped 50% sm
once I started hanging more than half my laundry out! Good for the environment too. I can't believe the snobbies who are ready to say you can't use one.
Mine love Hartz Hairball Remedy...salmon flavor
xx
Great job! Our local paper had a posting that got 75 resumes, including mine! Love

Anybody hooked on the PBS War series?
it's so horrifyingly fascinating and sad. It has a way of taking you back to that time. I had no idea how much the public was lied to by the media about what was going on. I hear it's doing great in the ratings.
Not hooked, but I saw it last night and it was very - sm
interesting. Never really knew that much about WWII. Not surprized the US government lied about stuff back then. Guess some things will never change.
Ah, that hooked totally just did not fly
with the question of the medicine. This medicine is for my grown daughter and she is having a difficult time and just wondering if anyone ran up against the same. Thanks.
I could easily get hooked too. That is why I
do not watch those shopping channels anymore.
Anyone else hooked on Project Runway?
Finale is tonight! Who do you think will win? I think it will be and want it to be Michael.
We are also hooked on guitar hero
and my "closet" game is Webkinz!!
Can't afford to be hooked to anything, except typing right now!!!
nm
Does anyone bead? Just tried it and I'm hooked!! Any good web sites? Thanks. nm

I'm hooked on this show. Was surprised it didn't
Yeah and I can't wait! I got hooked on Jericho and
was sooo disappointed when they canceled it. It didn't just go on hiatus, they flat out canceled it. But, thanks to many, many fans and sending all those NUTS, it's going to be back on at least for another 7 episodes. I hope they get great ratings so they will write more episodes. I was bummed out that Gerald McRaney didn't want to stick around. Oh well, he'll just have to be fondly remembered.
Does anyone read the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books? I am hooked! sm
My MIL gave me the first three and said I would love them. I did but too much because I stayed up until 3 last night to finish the last one! I went out today and bought 4 through 13! I feel like a junkie but I absolutely love them!
