I hate to be the one to tell you but the average size now in the states is a 14. I in no way consider that plus. Oh, to be a 14 again. See shoulda checked before hand- now that is not politically correct because it makes us hefty girls feel sad!

Yes - I have noticed this too
As I recorded the show last night on DVR cause I was working, and I watched that whole 2 hours of nonsense and didn't even get to see who won because it ran over and my DVR stopped recording. Had to find out who won on the internet this morning.
This is what I have noticed.
People who say they hate cats are usually controlling people by nature and don't like the independent nature of a cat. They prefer dogs as they can control them. That's what I see.
I have noticed the same.
My whites being dingy. I do not buy cheap detergent but I do not buy the most expensive either. I am a bit limited because of allergies though. I usually end up using bleach after a while because I do not know what else to do. I recently purchased Tide to see if it would help because I had a good coupon but I really do not see a difference with that. I would appreciate suggestions of others too! :)
I noticed that too
to burn him at the stake. Now, it is like he is some sort of God. LOL.
As far as doing transcription, I would think they would enter the hospital under an assumed name. I know at the hospital I worked at people would come in under a different name if they didn't want to be found by a gang member, abusive husband of whatever.

Only noticed 1 time-
My big furkid went to get his "haircut." He had gotten mats all over him and long haired. They sissified him, powered him up with stinky stuff and put this little decoration around his neck. He had enough, and he was lifting his legs high and walking backwards. I took his kerchief off and he is much better now.
Haven't noticed anything like that here
And I live only a few miles from Oklahoma City, which is Sonic HQ.
I for one have noticed pain when I sit with my leg
was better. Then last week I caught myself doing it again and now pain is back. I also have had less problems since loosing 50 pounds (more to go).
Exercises also will help. The more exercising I do, the more I can sit for longer periods.
I have noticed the British
xx
Did you noticed all the AI candidates are sm
very outspoken this year. They seem to tell the judges why they did certain things certain ways and why they won't change it. In the past the candidates were pretty timid.
I've noticed that in many...
tv shows too, even when they are speaking the drug name they say it wrong. I lmao. But I think they have to unless they have the manufacturers permission to use it or else they could get sued. But it's still like an inside joke to me whenever I hear/see it.
one thing I noticed is now we are
starting to see similarities because for the first time we are developing pictorial references and can see some of our ancestors. I have a pic of my grandfather as a young boy and my nephew was almost the spitting image of him. My uncle was almost a dead ringer for his grandfather whom none of us ever knew because he died young. Before 1900, most everyday people never had images of themselves made, and only a few had it done for deceased as it would be the only one ever made. You are right, it is fascinating. Just think, they all had their own stories.
I've noticed this too but it's not just
I am amazed at how many women my age do not sew, mend, cook or clean. They hire everything out to be done for them. I don't get it. I do a lot of these things for the satisfaction of saving money and keeping a nice home. Am I just weird?
i think the doctor has to have noticed.
and i would certainly switch care providers, because in my opinion, his priorities cannot be right if this gets by him.
I've noticed
that the gab board is quiet today. Everybody working hard or what?
I have very much noticed and commented on this
some time ago. Why otherwise females would want to have their rolls showing under the tops is puzzling to me. I am heavy and I never wear anything that emphasizes the fat rolls. I don’t wear the real oversized tops either but I don’t like for the upper arms to wave so usually do longer or 3/4th sleeves. I guess the females out there just really do not care what others think. I wonder if any have full length mirrors on just do not care what others think or them. Ugly is a word that comes to mind.
Have you noticed how her mother never has tears?
She has pretended to cry, dabbing a tissue under her eyes but there are absolutely no tears. Her mother is just PO'd she isn't getting the baby's inheritance and that's the only thing she's upset about.
What I noticed, not the artificial leg movement but
even her upper arm movements were so stiff, like a robot. Not only is she unpopular with most in real life, do not see her staying long on this dancing program.
Yeah and have you noticed all of those who tell us to LEAVE
have absolutely NO suggestions for us? Just leave! I bet these same women had mothers or friends or someone to actually HELP them out. If I were to leave my husband on my 18,000 a year salary and 3 kids - it would be a lot more miserable than him not listening to me when I speak.
Ever noticed how much dogs communicate? LOL!
 I have a 14 year old Dachsund who was just barking to go outside, and I usually say, "wanna go out?" and he runs for the door, but I accidentally said, "you ready to go?" and he got a very serious and excited look on his face because he thought we were going somewhere. I tried to explain to him that we were not going anywhere and I kept saying, "wanna go out" but he heard what he heard and he is ready to go!! LOL
Have you noticed that anytime 1 of the performers
decides to go on the offensive as Scott did when he said he was satisfied with his performance and thought good (as did Megan) and others, the voters out there just do not seem to like it and they are voted off really soon? Now when Lil was getting a bad evaluation the other night, she was not standing there saying she was satisfied and that was that and she stayed and Scott went. I really think people pay close attention to that and it does not pay for the contestants who want to do their own thing their own way. Just does not work out well for them. I did not see Adam the other night but saw Danny and as usual thought very good. I think it is going to be a guys only when all said and done.
Just my size!
I'm not advertising for the name brand... just stating a fact 
I don't mind underwires, however. I do tend to look for "full coverage"... I don't wear skimpy tops and if I did I wouldn't want it to look like a butt on my chest!
Anyway, with full coverage, underwire or not, I've never had a problem falling out, ever. So, that would be my only suggestion. I don't really have a preferred brand, just a style preference. I've got everything from Olga/Warner to Victorias Secret to Walmart and K-mart specials. If it fits, covers and I think it's pretty, I get it!
My 15 yo son is 6Ƌ and in a size
16 shoe, and getting ready for another growth spurt. I can always tell because for days he complains his legs hurt and then all of a sudden he is taller and shoes hurt his feet. Buying shoes for him is soooo much fun because when he finds shoes he likes, they usually go up to 13. Found a store that carries them up to size 20 now. I feel like I am going boat shopping when I take him shoe shopping. I was thinking of writing Shaq for leftover shoes....lol. My 13 yo daughter is 5ƍ and in a 9. Here I am at 5ƈ and a size 6 shoe. Daughter is looking into modeling but son is too tall for it they say.
What size is this?
My sister-in-law weighs about 300 pounds and is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall. I would like to buy her a nice pull over, but I do not know her size and I don't want to ask. Does anyone out there know what size this would be. I am guessing at the weight compared to my husband's (her brother) which I already know. What's the favorite store for plus sizes? I saw Lane Bryant was closing some stores, but are there any other good stores?
Plus size
I would think if she weighs 300 lbs and is 5' 6" tall, she wears a size 30, or 4X. If she's a little over 300 lbs, I'd get a size 32 or 5X.
I would also try to shop at Catherine's, CJ Banks Woman or Lane Bryant. They're better quality and last longer than the things I've gotten at Fashion Bug or any of the others. I do buy underpants and plain t-shirts at Walmart.
Catherine's is my personal favorite for both the styles and the prices.
If you're not 100% sure of her size, a gift certificate would be a safe way to go.
Oh look, they're having an "up to 70% off sale" right now!

Has anyone noticed their hair shedding more right now. My seems to be coming out more. nm
:
I noticed them in the scene where they found the other hatch
And I wondered what they were doing there, especially when they weren't really featured very much on subsequent episodes.
If the entire purpose of that episode was just to give us background on Ben's plan to coerce Jack into operating on him, that's old news. Sure, Nikki and Paolo are nice to look at, but having an entire show about them was a waste of time IMO - unless they have some unforeseen influence on an upcoming event, which would mean that they would have to be rescued SOON.
It's a shame, so far I have enjoyed ever episode of the second half of this season, each more than the last, until now......
Why is that about the male child? I have noticed that in my own family
Great advice by the way on the journal. There are so many things in this life that we cannot comprehend "in the thick of it", but later become crystal clear.
Boy I sure did YESTERDAY! Just signed on this a.m., haven't noticed yet. nm

Has anyone else noticed food prices going SKY HIGH???
Seems like everything is outrageous anymore!!
Ah, noticed what you posted "peanutbutter" and "to die for"
right now that does not sound too good in the same sentence. Another person died again yesterday from the peanut butter salmonella.
Plus-size dresses
My friend is getting married in August and I need to find a dress quickly! Can anyone recommend a designer with a line of plus-size bridesmaid dresses? I'll require a size 14 or 16 depending on the fit (probably 14).
Also, I realize this is late and I may have to buy "off the rack" or via internet versus using a bridal shop. Any recommendations in the Philadelphia/So. Jersey area?
My DH had one on his shoulder about that size
He had to have it removed and did well afterwards.
My 17 yo DS wears a size 14...
my DH and 19 yo DS wear size 12. There are lots of big-footed men in my house, and I'm constantly tripping over their enormous shoes.
You can't do anything to keep their feet from getting bigger. Just get to know places like DSW and Zappos!
My 8 y/o is a size 5, but she's SHORT...
for her age! I really hope she grows into her feet soon, looks like she has clown feet :) She's only 4 ft 3 in., but has some of the biggest feet for her age.
You mean in clothing size? 12 to 14? nm
.
Try going up or down in band size.
For example, try a 34 DD or a 38 C. When you go up or down in band size, it changes the size of the cups. I ended up having to do that and you'd be surprised how different the cup sizes are when you adjust the band size.
That bathroom's about the same size as
Go on-line to JMS - Just My Size sm
great selection, comfortable, plus they have workout clothes.
By small, I mean size 7 or under. I only wish I was.
xx
Why are big size shoes always
Short people don't have big feet, tall people do.
I have seen clothes that were like size....sm
20-something. I thought any store that carries plus sizes would carry up to very large sizes. At least that is what I thought. Maybe I am wrong.
Just noticed my daughter has blisters all over palms of hands..sm
some look as if they have blood under them, as they are a brownish color. She has one on her foot also. nothing in mouth or anywhere else. She said she noticed them this morning, but just now showed me after swimming this afternoon. she says they hurt to touch? Any ideas?? I hate to run to ER if nothing that cant wait until tomorrow when doc is in. TIA
P.S. I have ink in the cartridge and I have noticed that if it sits between printing pages then are
okay but if you run a lot at once they get really light after the first one.
Got a computer question. I have a mouse with a wheel on top but what I have noticed lately is the
screen you are typing on will sometimes keep rolling down by itself. Is this a mouse problem or computer problem. It just keeps moving down by itself.
I've noticed the rising costs of groceries lately
I believe the cost is partly to blame for the obesity in this nation. It is so much more expensive to try to eat healthier. I can make pizza for my husband and 3 kids for under $10. Yet, when we have chicken, potatoes, a vegetable and bread -- it's closer to $20. Of course when I serve the "full course" meal, my kids expect dessert, too. Is there no end?
I actually found myself stocking up last week on eggs because they were on sale and I knew I'd be making deviled eggs for T-day. I bought 6 dozen eggs. I have never bought that many eggs at once before in my life. But I saved 75 cents a dozen.
...myself. Actually a size 12 but still too large around the middle. nm

I don't remember my dress size
being asked on any job applications. Are they supposed to be able to tell over the phone? Of all places to say this - around a bunch of people whose employers have, for the most part, never seen them!

Average size woman
Just heard that the averge size woman in America is 12 to 14. Finally, I am above average in something. 
average size of women
I belive this used to be the average size when I was a kid in the 50s and early 60s. I remember helping my mom shop for dresses and patterns for dresses and she wore a 12. My mom looked no larger or smaller than most other women those days even though she was small boned and wore petite size or whatever it was called then. Of course, they could have changed the way they figure sizes since then. She looked healthy and normal.
What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
