lives in Montana nor a lot of the states where I visited. Saw lots of horses, though. Drove for miles without seeing a soul, no houses, no businesses, only horses.

Where in Montana are you?

$2.50 in Montana.
I ate 7 boxes. Seriously.
Have you ever visited a
They are smoking on the front porch and the nurse brings the booze cart around at 5 with airplane booze bottles.
in other words....don't re-partake until you are in the hospice, or you might cut yourself short of the 9 months!
I too never made Montana but in the 70s
this film was shot completely in Montana and you get to see/feel so much of the environment you almost felt like you were there.....that part of the movie was worth seeing it...forget the plot
not a bad plot though either, if'n ya like Jack Nicholson.......*lol*....which is why I went actually....Jack in the 70s....terrific to some folks, not to some others (no flaming to commence here please). I just thought if you could rent this movie, you'd enjoy it for the scenery.
Have a GREAT time on what sounds like a SPECTACULAR trip.
In lovely Montana. :-) nm

Have Fun.. What about Hanna Montana??nm
.
Hooray from Montana!
Go Penguins! So happy for you guys!
I just visited the site
It is really pretty, but kinda pricey. Did you order from their website or can it be bought someplace else that's less expensive?
never lived there but visited.
I love it. So jealous of you. Good luck!!
When I was little my parents were visited by one
It was so scary. I had people come to my school and look all over my body. Then I came home and my mom was rushing around cleaning and so panicked. It seems one of the neighbors called on them and told them that my mom burned us with curling irons and smacked us around. Which did not happen. In fact, our neighbors across the street and next door were outside until the lady had left with their eyes all on us. Sounds to me like you might just need to move and start new somewhere else. That is an expensive option, but I have not doubt that it would be good emotionally for you.
Livin in Montana and lovin it here, but that
All of those places sounded nice as well. I transcribe for a company in Maryville, Tennessee (just outside of Knoxville), and that seems like a nice area too.
I'll give you some pros and cons of Montana. Pros: Very low violent crime rates, low cost of living, no sales tax, no real natural disasters (except forest fires & avalanches in the mountains and an occasional small tornado), beautiful mountains, lakes, and rivers with plenty of outdoor activities, friendly people, less than a million people in the whole state.
Cons: Very long, very cold winters, so unless you like skiing or snowboarding a lot or just really like snow you would probably hate it. There's no really big cities here, so we don't get a lot of good bands touring here. We have bad forest fires this year, so it's even smoky in the cities, but it is usually not this bad. There are plenty of other cons, but I can't think of them at the moment. Overall I'm happy here.
Good luck with your decision and try to think it through and plan very well before making any quick decisions!
Tried that - Montana cool air and sunshine for all day but I can still smell it. Maybe I'm more
sensitive to it than other people?
In Montana and just me and husband spend $400 a month..nm

Any Houstoners out there? I visited there this summer and I am yearning right now for sm
the Galleria Mall. If I were close to Houston or in Houston I would jump in my car RIGHT NOW and go there. It was beautiful and amazing. It had Louis Vitton, Kate Spade, Coach and other high end, can't even afford to browse, stores and shops in that mall. I loved it. Very pretty. But the food court was the best! My husband and I took the kids and we spent hours there! It has everything. I guess living in the country in a small town out of state is what is making me yearn for the big city right now. It's Christmas, cold, I have money to spend on gifts, and I just want to be in a big city!!
I know NY is crazy this time of year, but I'd go in a heartbeat!! You are fortunate if you live in a big city
Have you guys ever visited the site called...
I can has cheezburger? Oh my gosh some of the pictures people post...and the captions they think up....KILLER!
all I can say......I visited Seattle in November.....YUCK!! sm
What a dismal dreery environment. I could never ever live there......
Visited Asheville, NC and loved it. Seattle costs $, but
xx
Last visited lots of retirees. Ft. Myers beach

Have visited this site before and I was shocked and disgusted at the people I knew. nm
!
I was in British Virgin Islands last week and it was 5.78 on one island we visited. Nmsg.
no msg.
I lived in Montana for two years. Every time I opened my mouth, they said, "What part
of the South are you from? I said, "Golly bum, South Carolina".
Only the 2nd one if I had the body......nm
sss
With a body like that, hmmm you could also do
porno but just not the way I would want others to see me. Sorry, I have family that I just would not want to shame them much less myself. Just not an exhibitionist here.
Bath and Body sm
My DH got me some B/B red leather collection stuff, makeup bag, manicure/pedicure set (awesome) and a little purse which came with Moonlight Path shower gel and body lotion. I already had the overnight bag and the tote. I just can't get enough of that red - I'm a bling, bling girl all the way!!!
Well maybe the body but NO WAY that face.
I'd rather be fat and pretty. LOL
you should really do that...keeps a body busy. NM

Body aches
I've been transcribing for 5 years, and my body hurts all the time, seems like.
How do some of you girls do this for 10, 20, 30 years and still function? I have back aches, shoulder aches, neck pain, headaches, forearm aches. I've tried different chairs, keyboards, body posiiton, and it's the same.
Currently, I'm going to school, and I just can't wait.
I have my office at the end of the hall, and it's like Hell is at the end of the hall. Sometimes, I just hate this room. I don't even come in here on my days off, even if I have to use the PC. I look around this room, and just think, "How can I dislike a room so much?"
HOW do you girls do it for so long?
Neutrogena body oil
Works really well for me. I put it on after taking a shower and towel drying. I use it every day when it first starts, then taper it down to every other day, etc. as tolerated and use regular lotion on the inbetween days.
I find Mary Kay and Avon products are great for sensitive dry skin too. I like Mary Kay lotions and the Avon Skin So Soft is nice too but prefer Neutrogena or the Wal-Mart brand body oil because it seems to soak in faster and not leave me feeling greasy.
I think it is her body, her choice, and
her business. In the same category with men donating sperm or couples going to a fertility clinic.
first trimester that is.
And how is it your business what I put in to my body, if I sm
do not drive, use in the privacy of my own home? You are a self-righteous prig. MYOB. Live your life.
Alcohol and cigs should be illegal?? Wow, what a repressive person. Just b/c you don't like something doesn't give you the right to take it away from everyone else.
6-week body makover
The program involves eating for your specific body type. Both DH and I are trying this, basically 5 to 6 small meals a day, each with small amount of protein and small amount of carb and plenty of salads. Water, water, water. Also walking and stretching exercises. So far so good, lost 8 pounds first week, DH lost 10. But you have to really stick with the program. I decided to go with it because I know a lady who lost almost 100# on the program. You might try eating a little more low calorie foods and splitting it up into 5 small meals a day, might help you not to be so starved. Tried Adkins before, which I could do, but surprisingly my "Meat-eating" husband could not stick to it. We are doing this more for health reasons than anything, strong family hx of diabetes in DH family and he is already somewhat hypoglycemic so we want to avoid going down that diabetes road if possible. Get a strong movivating factor to help you stick with whatever plan you choose.
Oh my aching body...need suggestions..sm
I am only 29 but my body feels like it is 99!! At the end of the day, my shoulders ache and my arms feel like they weigh 100 pounds each. I have everything ergonomic from keyboard to adjustable arm rests to foot rest. I even do exercises throughout the day but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Has anyone used the 6 week body makeover and what
weight, etc.
not sure but an MD told me that a lot of body itching
and the product he ordered for me and my daughter was something like Exelon shampoo (prescription but I may be misspelling it) - it's the same ingredient as what is in Selsun Blue which can be bought over the counter.
Hope she feels better too........we when through this when my daughter was a teen..........
I like the ones from Bath and Body called
socks to sleep in. They are so soft and so warm. My feet are also constantly freezing. I wear slippers all winter long. I have some, the brand is "old Friend" and they are leather with sheep skin in them. Your feet do not get sweaty, just toasty warm. I go through a pair every year because I wear them until it is about 70 degrees outside.
There are 2 body styles. The 4-door (sm)
style like mine is easier to find, but my sister got the 3-door one, which looks even more modern and flashy and tiny. Super cute.
It rates extremely well by Consumer Reports - top in its category for reliability. This car has been around a while in Europe, but only arrived here about 1 year ago.
On the down side, my very tall hubby does bump his head sometimes when trying to get in, but he sits unusually tall for somebody 6 foot 3 inches. I wouldn't say it has as much leg room as he'd prefer, but it is very drivable even for him.
Do you suppose your body ever becomes immune
to raw eggs? LOL. My brother and I constantly did this as children and lickily never got side. I now have to fight my children now from doing this becuase now I know better but they sometimes still sneak and get by with it. Once again no one has ever gotten sick but I know there is always a first time for everything. Just so hard to walk away from cake beaters.

Top 10 Useless Body Parts.
When you're sick you may feel that certain body parts are more trouble than they're worth. And in some cases, you'd be right. While the human body has evolved and adapted significantly since the caveman days, a few biological traces of our prehistoric ancestors still remain with us in the form of freeloading body parts we lug around with us, but have no use for. Take a gander at the top offenders!
10. Plica semilunaris
You may not know it, but you have a third eyelid. Pull open the two more noticeable eyelids and take a look -- it's located right in the corner by the tear duct. This small third eyelid is left over from what's known as a "nictitating membrane," which is still present in full form in some animals including chickens, lizards and sharks.
9. Body hair
No doubt we were once hairier. Up until about 3 million years ago, we were covered with body hair. But by the time Homo erectus arrived, the ability to sweat meant we could shed our woolly ways.
8. Sinuses
Doctors don't really know much about sinuses -- only that we have a lot of them. Possibilities for their function range from insulating our eyes to changing the pitch and tone of our voice.
7. Adenoids
Adenoids trap bacteria, but they're also prone to swelling and infection. Just ask any 7-year-old. Luckily, our adenoids shrink with age and are often removed, along with ...
6. Tonsils
Also prone to swelling and infection. If you still have them when you reach your 30s, it's almost an accomplishment.
5. Coccyx
More useful as a game-winning Scrabble word than as part of the anatomy, the coccyx or tailbone, is made up of several fused vertebrae left over from the olden days when we had tails.
4. Arrector pili
When we were hairier (see No. 9), the arrector pili made the hairs stand on end when we needed to appear bigger and scarier. Now, it just gives us goose bumps.
3. Wisdom teeth
Back in the day, when we ate mammoth meat off the bone and didn't floss afterward, our teeth tended to fall out. Therefore, when those reserve molars, aka "wisdom teeth," came in, they were welcomed. Nowadays, fluoride and dental plans have made them just a huge pain.
2. Appendix
Darwin claimed the appendix was useful for digestion during our early plant-eating years; it's dwindled down to little since we started eating more digestible foods.
1. Male nipples
Because, why?
Mind and body are created together
Is our body actually our own, or does it belong to society? Roe versus Wade, right-to-die cases, such issues show that's a very hard question for us all. We might acknowledge that God created the body, but we don't always acknowledge he also created the mental state. We note that some bodies are created with handicaps and we medically try to correct them, we even invent percieved handicaps and correct them (Botox, anyone?) but we are very confused as to at what point this is "OK" and at what point it is "wrong" (think Michael Jackson). However, we seem accept in general that if one is unhappy with one's body/condition, it can be "fixed" and it doesn't have to stay exactly the same as it was originally created; otherwise we would not try to prolong life with medicine, but would accept the original creation as involately holy and leave it alone. We don't often question, judge or condemn someone's opinion of what their body needs, we accept that is up to them as the inhabitant to make that call. If you say you need Lasix surgery, no biggie. If you say you need an abortion, you might experience some arguments and judgements about that. But if you say you need gender surgery, take cover, here comes armageddon! And oh boy, if you choose to have a baby in the middle of changing your gender, prepare to catch it from the entire planet!
The national media, in their infinite wisdom, picked up on this story for its pure sensationalism. How very kind and supportive they are, as usual.
There is a growing body of evidence
that circumcision is simply not worth the risks. Among clinical investigators, not just "kidhealth dot com."
If the risks of bleeding or infection are higher with circumcision as an adult, then for heaven's sake, don't do it then, either! Unless, obviously, there is a surgical indication for it.
I repeat: Having a foreskin is not a surgical indication.
My mom donated her body to science - sm
so we had nothing. She did not want us to do anything. We did mail a note to all my parents friends, etc. letting them know she had died, etc. but that was the extent of it. I said "goodbye" to my mom in the hospital morgue. They gave me a very hard time about it and did not want to let me but I insisted, explaining we were not having a funeral, etc. Took them an hour to arrange it once they finally agreed to let me see her. My brother and dad went with me, though I would have rather been alone. My dad already said his goodbyes in the room as did my brother. I drove up 4 hours so I could that night. My other brother did not make it though. His wife I think is the only one that has had a problem with the fact that there was no funeral or memorial service. We all just took things from the house that reminded us of mom and I think that helped. I have my mom's old recliner and I sit in it sometimes and talk to her. Plus when we get together we openly talk about mom and past events, etc., even my dad does despite his re-marriage and I know he is very happy in his marriage. But all in all we have all been fine with it, I think it helps to know my mom hated funerals, was not that religious, and we honored her wishes.
She extends her entire body and scratches every
door jam almost like she is marking everything as her very own. She is an older cat, so declawing is not an option. She is not an outside cat, but we have always felt that if we declawed her and she did happen to get outside that she would not be able to defend herself. She is a very good cat other than that like I said. She does claw the furniture a tad, but not as bad as the door jams. I can't even tell where she has clawed the furniture. She actually just leaves more dander on the furniture than actually clawing, so I guess we are lucky in that regard. She just really keeps me company, and I try to say "no" and scare her away from the door jams, but we have allowed one that she can scratch, which is in the entry to the area where her litter box is kept in the basement. We may be confusing her though. Thanks for all of your help.
I was wondering why no soaping with my new body soap
gosh, used it 2 days and on this 2nd day looked at the bottle and it is body lotion. That's what happens after you reach a certain age- those fine lines are more difficult to read.
Hmmmm, honestly, if my body looked like that.....
I'd probably post pictures of myself all over the internet too! LOL
They make moisurizing body lotions
now that reduce unwanted hair. I used it on my legs, but it made the hair so fine there that it was harder to shave, which I still needed to do when it was time to wear shorts or a dress. But it might work for your arms.
My arm hair was dark when I was in high school. My mom says the same thing happened to her, but now in my 40s, it's almost gone.
Hormone changes, maybe thyroid stuff could be involved, so you might want to talk to your MD.
Melatonin is a substance which is normally produced by your body
It seems unlikely that it would counteract BCP but you might call your pharmacist and ask.
My husband used to use it when he was in the Air Force and getting sent overseas a lot. It helped him overcome the jet lag more quickly. But then, he didn't have to worry about getting pregnant! 
The birds in my yard need body guards
I have a few birdfeeders out in front of my office window for something to enjoy while I'm working. The squirrels come and the birds visit. Lately there has been a hawk (for lack of knowledge I'll just call it a hawk, it's some kind of big predator), swooping through and picking off birds right off the feeders, and now it has even tried to fly off with the squirrels. He sits up in my trees and waits to attack. Now I fully know this is the way of nature and he needs to eat to, but does he have to do it while I'm watching. Is there anything I can do to get rid of him (keep him away, not kill him or anything)?
Scented candles? Body lotion? nm

My body predisposed to diabetes but dont use that

Every body brings baby gifts. sm
Bring something sensual for the mom. A basket of body lotions, bath lotions, maybe something feminine to wear after the birth. I loved that. I had plenty of diapers, newborn clothes, and baby gadjets already. Something for just ME was really appreciated. My favorite gift for the baby was a musical lion that played "You Are My Sunshine". Baby totally loved that, for a couple of years.
