In Reply to: No, because I think it would be constant - reminder for a mother who cannot breastfeed
why if a woman could not have a baby, would she be going into a store and picking up a can of formula? Honest to pete, I have about heard it all now. There are millions of women who can or cannot have children. What is the big deal about birthing? You said all you have to go thru, like? This is an either you can or you can't. It is simple. I had children and chose not to breastfeed, did not feel any way different from a person who did. I think once labor you about have it made.

People being thin skinned again.
Trashy people, as you stated, can live anywhere. Britney and her family definitely fit the classic trailer trash. Don’t have a thing against trailers, my father had 1, my aunt had 1, I had 1 before- but surely to goodness when someone says that you should understand matter of speech as to denote people who fit the bill of lower class. If you don’t fit that saying, then I would not worry.
No offense but if that's what thin people have to eat...
I'd rather be fat. LOL
People....get over the days off stuff.....
nm
No. People are so paranoid these days.

People had a life expectancy of about age 30 in those days!
Would you feel better about it if she were a 32-year-old Ph.D. with a husband and big house in the suburbs? It was 2000 years ago, for goodness sake! Everyone in that culture was married at age 16! How is that offensive? Every culture doesn't mirror 21st Century USA!
Is it hard to find considerate people these days? sm
seems like no one is considerate of anyone else anymore. I dropped a few friends because of it. A recent friend is being inconsiderate also, husband wonders why I still do things with her. Well, you know, you can't just not have any friends and since everyone seems to be that way, what else can you do? People are late, don't follow through, are self-centered, etc. The way of the world these days I guess.
Not a dessert. And what is it with all this canned stuff. People use fresh these days. Cook a sm
chicken breast, for goodness sake. Do not open a can and serve it to guests.
Yay! Give him a high-5 or chest bump (whatever young people do these days) for me..nm
I am in a biracial marriage, not thick skinned, live in the deep south, have
a mixed daughter who is 32 years old and she told me going to school she had the best of both worlds. Live in a very nice mixed neighborhood, just don’t know where this person lives who has to be thick skinned. Has never happened to me.
I make around $50,000 but I work 7 days a week and long days, although I'm not a fast typer eithe
I think even if your fast, you'd still have to work more than 40 hours a week to make that but I could be wrong.
I remember those days too, but these days they don't want make any child felt left out. They wan
to make each of them feel special and that they have accomplished something. My 8-year-old brings a certificate of some kind during the day, accelerated reader award, trustworthy award, jr. achievement award, etc. I guess in a way, no one kid is pointed out as the "teacher's pet" or have the other kids being jealous of him/her for getting this or that award. 
thin!

Thin....
I have a great family, so I am loved. I have an awesome God, so I am forgiven. I have a nice life, so I am content.
Would just really like to be thin again. Heck, I'll settle for thinner.
Great question, BTW!
For you thin MTs - how do you do it??? (sm)
I have met some of my coworkers and they are thin as can be - I have gained so much weight since I have been MTing full time. How do you do it!!???
Is your child really thin?
I noticed you said soccer and dance- females have been known not to have periods at all if really, really thin. You will probably hear from others saying to take her to the doctor- I have a daughter and I would say probably is normal with just starting- it would not be that much of a big concern for me.
I'm thin and my husband is
sort of like that too. Nothing like what I'd heard men were like. Apparently the availability of internet porn is one possible explanation. On CSI they called guys who can't enjoy real women anymore a "porn creep." Another possible explanation is that he has an undiagnosed medical problem such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, so that the only time his body responds is in the morning, when testosterone is highest. This isn't just a sex problem; it's a communication problem. Getting guys to open up and express their needs/concerns/issues is tough. I've always been impressed with the way Dr. Phil discusses the differences between men and women, and how issues can be resolved, but out of laziness I'm not motivated enough to push my DH to resolve his issues. He does show his love and appreciation of me in many other ways, so I'm just living without the physical side marriage 99% of the time. Oh, my DH claims to want sex, but he also expects me to attack him in whatever way it is he wants to be approached, and I'm stubborn in my believe that he's the one that should be coming to me. That's all it would take to get me turned on, and the fact that I've actually been rejected many times when I tried to make hints or even flat out requests has really turned me off. Nope, if he wants it, he can just approach me.
Maybe you do have an eating disorder. You don't have to be thin
to have one. If your weight is an issue you the one that has the power to change it. Been overweight all of my entire life, but this is the year I'm determined to tackle it. Just too bad I didn't do it 20 years ago.
No, not really thin, but very muscular. Thanks for the reply. nm
ever try freezing the thin mints?
Oh, he still could be married. Never too rich or too thin! NM

Why do some thin women dress
like hoes? I'd rather see the outline of a roll through an ill-fitting shirt than see some girl's entire butt crack. That's just NASTY.
Don't be jealous of those who are thin...most CAN do something about their weight if they tried.
NM
LOL, I like pizza in Italy...thin crust...sm
But there are many NY foods I crave (live in the south now)......actually entire neighborhoods I crave...Chinatown, Little Italy, Germantown, etc. 
Slather them with a thin coat of vegetable oil SM
and rub on some salt, pepper and a little red pepper. Put them in a baking dish and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for an hour. Then you can slather them with barbecue sause and serve with some rice and veggies.
That is what I thought too-blood!! and JuliA is way too thin.

Another good faith based one is Thin Within
you can Google Thin Within on the web also. It focuses on how you feel about yourself. After going through it for the first time I was able to separate ME and how I felt about ME from how I felt about the extra pounds I carry.
I have avoided Weigh Down because I have some issues with some beliefs and practices of the founders, but I have heard it is a well designed and good program.
Dancing Thick crust or thin
!
Do you think you look better with a little extra weight as you age so your face doesnt look as thin.
Just curious as to what you think.
Thin socks ALL the time. Can't use my pedal barefoot or with shoes. nm
s
about 30 days, < 30 days pregnant (nm)

Shoes! Love shoes. Thin soles work best.
Don't be mad, but foot size might have something to do with it. I'm a 7 1/2 shoe size, and I suspect a foot much bigger than that might be a bit wide to easily hit the right pedal every time. Remove the shoe and your foot is narrower and you can feel the controls and not hit the wrong one. Just a guess because I've heard guys have the worst time with the pedal.
you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people
This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.
it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.
I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case. Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior. Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!! Thank you for the kind comments. To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge. You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.
I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
People who go around calling other people "low class"
have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.
For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)
Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
some people did, some people didn't. It's their choice.

Days gone by
I'm right there with you. It is really scary out there today.
As far as the original post, while I know arrests of innocent people are made, I do find this story EXTREMELY hard to believe. True or not, though, you are right -- protection of your child is your first priority as a mother. Pornography is no longer just looking at naked ladies, it's just downright disgusting. I have two sons, 12 and 10, and I live in fear of what is out there that could hook them.
I have many days like that too :(

in a few days?.............no no no.....sm
The faster the better on these fraud things - your daughter is going to wait a few days? This is VERY_BAD.
She should have already gotten a police report (takes 4 days to physically get it in her little hands) - and then she should have ALREADY called the bank to freeze her account, open another account.
BTW, my daughter had her purse stolen from my car - she called me immediately - I was on the phone with the bank, every credit card company, etc. (this was on a Sunday), and on Monday - I showed up at the bank and the perps got NOTHING. Time is of the essence on these matters.
When my daughter first moved out of the house back in 1999, someone stole checks from her house/desk. They got all her $$ which was $1400. She went to the bank - and the bank, at first, didn't want to give her the $$ back - but in the end, they did !!! All the $$.
Again, time is OF THE ESSENCE! Hopefully, while I'm typing this, I'm thinking you are SURE to tell me that the bank was notified via phone when it happened.
*fingers crossed*
Yes, it went away after three or four days.
As far as results, I am 45 with very fair skin. I did notice that my skin FELT nicer. It definitely felt smoother, and I thought I looked "brighter", if that makes any sense. It didn't actually erase any wrinkles, but then, I have to say that I don't have tons of wrinkles - great genetics. I have crinkle lines when I smile, but not wrinkles on my relaxed face. I still use Roc, but only about four times a week, and I'm always very careful about sunblock twice daily. (I like Neutrogena daily defense.)
Days
Do you think Sammy and EJ will get together? I hope so. Lucas is such a tool.
One of those days
I think I am to the point where is someone were to offer me $100 I would take it and take my dog and two cats, leave and not look back. Become homeless, no responsibilities or cares. I know just a bad day and tomorrow will be better. But at least I have somewhere to write this to make me feel better.
I don't think so - these days (sm)
People work into their 70s and beyond, that mentality may have been more reasonable when people retired at 60. Especially if what you want to go to school for is 4 years or less. I actually know someone that finished medical school at 40 and then started into residency - not finishing until 6 years later (extra fellowship).
Yes it is - in the old days with other
sick cats I used chicken baby food. Sometimes mixed vitamin paste available OTC in with it but that changes taste considerably and syringed some in when they were really sick. Baby food is not good for normal cats because it is high in fat but to get more calories in less food in a sick cat it always worked wonders for me. I also mixed a little warm water in it.
My first 2 days were very fun.
The work is such a nice change, constantly moving. There are all these different greenhouses, and it's the slow time of year so I'm doing detail work like making signs. Today I culled out dead plants and entered them into inventory. I have come to terms with my golf cart; it is very useful when it's time to move the "deads" over to the compost heap and empty out the containers. Then I drive the containers over to the potting shed area. We all take lunch and breaks at the same time, and everybody is super nice. I have noticed they eat a lot of fruit and healthy foods for their snacks, and I brought in our leftover veggie tray from New Year's, and they were appreciative to share that with me today. They are very into their dogs and cats, and everybody has an interest in plants in common. I can ask questions about plants any time, whether it's work related or gardening related. I got to look at slides of live nematodes today. I am being taught to recognize pest attacks to report as I do my work. So it's all very active and satisfying for me.
Now if we can just get Bear up to speed. We chose not to crate Bear because it was a longer day with DH out of town. Bear did a little better, but did work on the ottoman a little more. I think we'll try crating him tomorrow, and I'm also eyeing a bottle of clonazepam I have on the counter! I know there are herbal things for dogs I can try also; I've just never had this problem before.
those were the days
I bet the stew cooked on the wood stove was great. . some of the old ways of cooking were tastier than they are now. . . when we had the ice storm a few years ago, my fiance said he fixed all kinds of food on his wood stove. . he was quite pleased with himself. .
Tried it for a few days
but just couldn't stand the taste of the soup any longer! I also didn't lose any wieght but didn't really have high expections either. I think if you have enough will power to try something like that, then just do Weight Watchers. I haven't done it myself but I've seen many people go through that program and it seems to be a heck of a lot healthier and better overall/long run instead of putting yourself on a liquid diet (because basically that's what you're doing with the Cabbage Soup Diet/Lemonade Diet, etc).
People are always looking for the quick & easy way to lose wieght (I won't deny it, myself included). Imagine if we put those efforts of looking for the shortcuts into actually following a real nutrition & exercise plan!
I will let you know. She says it may take a few days SM
to get back to me. I am concerned for them. I can image how she and her husband feel. I saw them today and she, especially is shaken by this. Thanks for caring.
Ever have one of those days
Ever have one of those days that you type and type and type and after 8 hours look and find you've only done 600-700 lines when usually you've done more. Just am frustrated right now. It's hot (102 degrees here), and I'm tired. I'm tired, tired, tired. I feel like I'm getting too old for this (only 48 years old but I feel like I'm 68). Feels like I'm going to just wither and die in this chair. My DH will walk out one day and find me and rigamortise will have set in and he'll have to unclamp my fingers from the keyboard. Guess the heat is just getting to me and I'm tired. Not so much the heat, I'm just tired. Think I overslept. I function good on 6 hours of sleep and last night I got 8 or so. Oh well, in an hour or so I will be completed with my jobs and then will veg out in front of the TV eating something. Oh yes....what an exciting life I lead here. Okay, that's my venting of the day. Thought I'd give everyone something different to read (although I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way). 
YEP - definitely having one of those days...
Guy i've been seeing for 6 months left his wife a couple of weeks ago (yay for me) and then he tells me this afternoon that he's got a girlfriend and that it's serious and that she's supposed to be leaving her husband so that the two of them could be happily ever after. Definitely broke my heart - have cried all night, the thought of food makes me sick at my stomach, then my air conditioning goes out on the house and I have to pay a repairman to come out at 8:30pm to fix it. Oh, think I forgot to mention that I'm also married but he won't deal with anything so I have to get things fixed, pay, etc. Definitely a wo is me kinda night! :(
I go every 2 to 3 days....
my hair is extremely thick and I don't need to shampoo every day, blessed to not have oily problems or dry scalp. I rotate between 3 Redken products, Color Extend, Smooth Down and All Soft, using both shampoo and conditioner. I'm about to try Pureology soon, have heard good things about the products.
