I am just about the loose my mind with these people.
used to just be the nextdoor neighbors, they are so trashy...same things, dogs..trash, beer bottles, heavy metal music, the mom screams and cusses and beats her kids right out in the front yard...all of it...they party in their garage...then the back looks like a desert of dog poop...(lived here for 2 years..) then last summer a new family moves in, they are just as big of drunks..now they all party together. well lastnight, we had it out, and I know i went overboard playing into their Jerry Springer conversations..but geeze, I am so angry and have decided to reclaim my space...lol
Oh yes people will tell you you need to lose
weight. My own father was a good example of that. He tried to cut me down and made nasty remarks about my weight. Never mind the fact I saw pictures of his mother who was extremely obese. I guess he forgot about her weight. Anyone who is overweight knows that- does not have to be told- there are mirrors everywhere.
Older folks sometimes lose it before they really lose it sm
It sounds like she having some issues with money and thought processes. Four potatoes and three sweet potatoes? She has lost touch with reality. I don't mean this in an unkind way. I think she didn't stop the think or plan the budget around this. Perhaps she has lost the ability to properly plan on some level. This makes no sense.
In my family, food at gramma's was always abundant. The woman always thought we were foot soldiers readying for a cold march across two states. The place she got miserly was with almost everything else. She'd have everyone over for a huge supper and have 2 rolls of TP in the house, one nearly gone, and there would be 10 of us. She stopped buying laundry detergent because it was "too expensive" and started using shavings of naphtha soap. She started saving little soap slivers and making "new" bars of soap with them. She stopped buying shampoo unless it was in the markdowns at the grocery store. She started using a baggie for her vacuum cleaner bag. You get the picture here.
The interesting thing is that truly, that gramma never fully lost it. We considered this idiosyncratic and went on. She kept the rest of her faculties, but had these odd ways of "saving money." My other gramma who never did any of these things did, in fact, suffer from profound dementia the last 10 years of her life. Of course, that set of grandparents had the issue the other way. Toilet paper: Bought in bulk 6 cases at a time. Find a salad dressing you like, buy a couple of cases. You never did want to tell them you liked a certain food, paper product or soap something because if you did, along would come a few cases of it!
We all do something when we get older. Help her out so she isn't embarrassed by this!
Type 1 requires insulin, type 2 does not - sm
that is the basic difference. Type 2 can be controlled by diet changes and/or medication (pills). My MIL has type 2 which runs in her family, no one is obese either. She controls it with diet and medication. Your dermatologist I think is wrong. Doesn't your husband know which type he has?
if pits get loose
It isn't in a pitbulls nature to be mean to humans. Now they can be aggressive towards other dogs, but that too often is mistaken as people aggression, but these are far two different things. If you get on a pitbulls property they are very protective & if they don't know you then you may get bit, but that's with any dog. If they get loose they aren't going to go around the neighborhood looking for somebody to attack, in fact if they are loose roaming around they are more scared of you then you are of them. Took us 3hrs to get a full-grown pitbull off the side of the road. Read his story here: http://www.dogster.com/dogs/600278
What if they accidentally got loose?
I know sometimes it is beyond your control and dogs get out. A board on your fence can break, the chain can break, whatever it may be. What if the pit got out and killed something or someone? That is what scares me about these dogs. If you are keeping it contained, good for you, but if it gets out and kills someone or something, you are responsible.
Octuplet mom has a few screws loose..
and really needs some psychiatric help. I read an article in one of the papers that her mother tried to get her some help regarding her obsession with babies. How sad for these poor children. I am quite sure the mother of these babies is looking for a reality show and some free goods and endorsements for her "miracle". The facility that implanted that many embryos in her should be closed down and she needs to sterilized.
That woman has a screw loose. And after the way - (sm)
she treated you (demanding money, banging on your door, saying you're 'rude', and then demanding to borrow a CD from you, I wouldn't even let her in the house again, let alone give her a CD. If you give her the CD, you'll never see it again, guaranteed. I'd tell her to get lost.
do you have any loose neighbor kids running around?
lol .... never know... my neighbors little boy last year took his crayola scissors to my hosta's.....geeze
It was the OWNERS' fault for allowing the dog to run loose.
The fact that you didn't see him and ran over him was an accident. That accident wouldn't have occurred if those people had been responsible dog owners and kept him in a securely fenced yard.
you won't loose your cool if you state the facts
just as you did. I have found in my life that everyone has to listen to me and take me seriously if I use no profanity what so ever (and don't yell). Of course you should be upset, your child was assaulted by a bully. I'd be all over that like white on rice!!! Call her up, make her feel lousy for raising such a brute of a daughter. Praise your child for being so wonderful. Unfortunately, all we can tell our little ones is that the world is full of mean, angry others and we are so blessed to not have to behave that way. Count your blessings for your sweet son, just love him and hug him all that much more.
Hubby thinks the animal has a loose screw
as he hisses and runs during the day but yet sometimes late of a night the cat will go to him, sniff around him and, although reserved still, is not the cat in the terrible 2s like during the day. My hubby thinks he has a mental problem (not my hubby, of course, but the cat!)
Long arms, loose joints, narrow back.
I'm sort of the opposite of that Tauranosaurus rex complaning of his short arms and big head, LOL.
There isn't a part of my back I can't reach with at least the back of my hand. Poor DH has a huge area he can't reach. Good thing I'm around for him.
cardio is going to make you loose weight and slim down, weights
are going to give you more of a defined muscle tone. you still need the cardio to get your hr up, then do the weights immediately after while your hr is up, will work faster.
Oops..you actually need to surround the key in a blob of the silicone so it doesn't work loose.

Yes, I lose
money if I don’t work so very simple for me. I just have good work ethics.
I'm sorry. It is so sad when we lose a pet.

I'm trying to lose too sm
I've tried all diets, have been successful, but once i stop doing the diet, then i gain back. Atkins, WW, Jenny Craig. Last year I did Nutrisystem, but food got expensive. Now I'm just trying to eat healthy. I can tell you that Nutrisystem food had fiber and protein in it. It's tough. I'm an emotional eater. I would love to be a part of a losing weight forum. there is a website www. weightlossbuddy.com. It's free and you can find other people that live close to you and support each other. I'd like to lose about 20 or 25. Hey monitor, didn't there used to be a diet board? If not, that'd be a good board to have.
thanks
use it or lose it
They can keep you alive a very long time these days. I would try to die with my boots on. Have you walked through a nursing home lately? Just keep shuffling along and do not stop until you keel over, or you could have a manny nurse changing your Depends.
well, i try to eat right. i need to lose some weight sm
so i do buy whole wheat stuff, bread, wraps, spaghetti. i buy low fat/fat free lunchmeats, 2% cheese. i don't buy cupcakes and cookies (or else i'd eat them!) i don't drink much milk, not that i don't like it, just don't drink it much. i drink more water than anything. i'll have about one diet dr. pepper a day. i love food, it's just trying to stay on a healthy track. my problem is i don't get enough exercise. i have a 5 y/o and an 8 y/o that keep me busy. but i do like to exercise.
But how did she lose all that weight?
She was really heavy and saw her lately in my weekly rags and so thin now.
Trying to lose weight
Has anyone tried Hoodia and does it work?
Well, I DID lose 10 lbs. this summer without even trying-
That's about the only good thing that's come of all this. The rest sucks.
Sometimes you won't lose much 1 week but BAM sm
you lose a bunch the next week; sometimes it is water-weight related, other times related to your period or hormones. Some weeks I didn't lose anything, only to have a 4 lb loss the next time! Just be sure to start being active (even if it is only walking to the end of your block) and drink your water!
With depression you lose either way -- sm
depression pretty much kills sex drive, but so do antidepressants. Still, I prefer to be on the meds.
You're gonna lose your man if you don't at least
Men may act macho, but they have feeling, too and like to feel attractive and loved.
has anyone done nutrisystem to lose weight sm.....
and was able to keep the weight off after you stopped eating their food? i'm tired of being stuck at the same weight. i was thinking of joining weight watchers. i've done that before and lost, but i had a 6 mos old baby dragging him along. now he's 5 and i'm ready to try again. but just wondered if anyone had success with nutrisystem. thanks
I lose focus after a few hours : (

you will not lose weight without exercise.

Maybe didnt lose it. It just went south.

If he is otherwise healthy, I'd lose the tail.
He'll have to adjust how he balances but otherwise I think he'd be fine.
Me too, it is so very hard to lose a pet. What a beauty.

I'm trying to lose weight through the WW program
I started during the summer and kind of fell off of it. I'm trying to lose between 30-40 pounds. My daughter became a vegetarian about 4 months ago and she already lost 23 pounds. I like my meat so I won't go that route, but I'm trying to exercise a little bit every day and eat healthier. Good luck to you and everyone else trying to lose.
so sorry, it sure hurts when you lose your babies.. nm

I really lose a lot of respect for the candidates
that talk back to the judges. I know that Simon can be very mean, but it is not like these kids don't know this. I think the singers should bite their tongue and just try to take the comments and try to improve their singing next week.
Not a good way to lose weight

Not sure what your question is? But my 401K did lose value sm
and it bothers me very much; I lost maybe 25K so it could have been worse. It forced me to diversify and take a closer look at bonds vs stocks, and other investments. Of course I would like to have more than 50K as liquidity and emergency funds, but at one time I was more than 20K in debt. This is a huge improvement in my life and a total change in mindset. It truly has created peace in my heart, to have control over what I spend and not be a tool of the consumer society that says "You are not happy unless you have the biggest, newest, brightest" thinga-mabob that we are selling this week / year / month.
You don't need to buy stuff for self-esteem. Being self sufficient lets me sleep at night.
I'm hungry! I want to eat! I'm trying to lose weight and I've been
doing pretty well, but now I'm getting at that poing where I just want to eat anything and everything. Any ideas on what I can do to curb my voracious appetite?
yeah well it's only wasting money when you lose
a deal when you could win millions. I can give up a few cups of coffee or something else rather than my lottery tickets!!
We did lose some money, but not a huge amount
We have three different ones that we've been keeping an eye on.
Lose weight and learn to socialize. I

new baby is making me lose my sanity
I just need a place to let out my stress. I just had my first baby May 5, and she is just beautiful. But I am about to lose my mind. I have chosen to breastfeed her, and everything takes so much longer than I thought it would. Thankfully she has switched to a "normal" day and night schedule so I can catch a few precious hours of sleep at night in between feedings.
Did anyone else find motherhood as hard as I think it is? I don't hate it or anything but it sort of makes me not want to have any more kids if just one is this stressful. Oh, and I have already returned to my IC job (part time) so that adds to my day. I also have become extremely bipolar in my moods. Yes, it is probably postpartum depression. I am happy one minute and bursting into tears over nothing the next. Did anyone take antidepressants for postpartum depression and how did that work out? I have never had depression issues until now, so I don't have any experience with that. Any kind words or insight would be helpful. Thanks.
You'll lose weight & firm up doing ANYthing that you aren't currently doing

OK, first lose the WalMart shoes. Kids are brutal. sm
Being completely honest, you definitely need to not buy the shoes at Walmart. Kids are very, very cruel about that. You can sometimes get away with a couple pairs of pants from walmart, like the carpenter-type pants, etc., and maybe a T-shirt or 2. My son is only 10, but he's already really picky about what he will or won't wear.
Try shopping at JCPenney, BonTon, the Gap, Kohls, Macy's. Their clothes can be a bit pricey sometimes but just watch for sales now and start slowly collecting stuff. They have awesome sales, especially president's day, Memorial day weekend, thanksgiving (black friday), and awesome labor day sales which are usually just in time for back to school.
As far as the haircut, I would take him to a salon and let them offer some suggestions on what is popular and what would work good for your son's hair type and face shape. Maybe even try one of the hair places in the mall because they usually have younger, more modern people there. Good luck! Hope it all goes well!
Does anyone else notice when you work too many days in a row you lose your focus or something. nm
:
Unless you stay on it forever, you will regain any weight you lose.
People I used to work with went on that diet once. Weight loss varied (nobody lost a lot, just a couple of pounds) and nobody kept it off.
my neck was my motivator to lose weight this year
I had already had a tummy tuck with lip and did not want to go through surgery again so I got down to 104 and finally lost the double chin. Yes I said 104 but i am also 4' 11"
A dentist who does breast exams should lose his licence. Besides...
I categorily refuse manual breast exams. If I want to check fir cancer, I go for a mommogram.
Nice loose cotton or cotton blend gown
and NO PANTIES!!!!!!! 
sweat pants or loose light cotten pants - sm
sometimes put on makeup but usually just brush hair and pull it back and get to work!
Does anyone notice you seem to lose more hair with washing and blowing dry than just brushing other
days.
