Hehe thanks, it's a week early! Ok, I've had 1/2 bottle of water today (big one), and had a bowl of salad and about 1c of chicken scampi noodles from Olive Garden. I am bustin butt doin homework and I got a headache. DH sent me this, had to share with you guys (This was a listing on Craigslist, and I love the response!!!) :lol: Lease With An Options to Buy Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year-old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York . I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City , so I don't think I'm overreaching at all. Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a businessman who makes average around 200 - 250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level? Here are my questions specifically: - Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms -What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my feelings -Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)? - Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the upper east side so plain? I've seen really 'plain Jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there? - Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out? - How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way. Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth. It's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests Posting ID: 432279810 ============================================================= THE ANSWER Dear Pers-431649184: I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it. Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful! So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you! So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to "buy you" (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following: If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage. Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as "articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful" as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout. By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation. With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way. Classic "pump and dump." I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know

There are times I take bigger bites, and try to chew chew chew and swallow small pieces at a time.. and occasionally I will spit up a piece of something I could have sworn I chewed well.. but when I spit it up it's a decent sized chunk. This only happens with certain foods for me, like when I'm really hungry or I really like whatever I'm eating. So in those instances, I make the tiny pieces on my plate before trusting myself to chew it well.

I am not a big drinker, but I do have a drink once in a while. And I still smoke cigarettes (never quit). I did just start Chantix though, so I'm going to try to quit

I've always debated it, but I'm afraid my hooha is one of those 'nastier lookin ones' you guys talk about lol. I'm all disfigured on thighs and hooha from boils & crap. So I just shave it!

Ohh and don't get me started on 401k Every penny I put in December & January was lost in January! DH and my dad both keep saying, you can't look at it month to month or even year to year.. just leave it. But damn. I could be spending that money on something and not losin it. I don't really understand this stuff. I am down -7.7% for the lifetime of my 401k. That's no good. But they said since we're in a recession, I'm losing money but I am gaining shares. When economy picks back up, all my shares will go up and I'll gain money. We'll see. I hate investing stuff!

Morning V's!! I missed the boils/staph post.. but I have a chronic issue with boils in between my thighs, under my breasts, and under my armpits. It's disfigured the skin there, and there's ALWAYS at least 8 active ones on my body at one time.. and that's the very least. I have seen docs, I've tried everything they've ever told me, nothing ever changed. My last visit to gyno in Dec, I told her how I had hoped when I lost weight, this would have stopped at least a little bit. She said I would likely need PS to remove skin on my thighs even if I lose weight. Since that's not an option.. and I've lived with these boils most of my life, I guess I just chuck it up to tough shit. I never wear short shorts or normal cut swimsuits, so I don't have to show my thighs. And if I wear tank tops, I don't raise up my arms lol. In any event, I've tried to do my own online research through the years about it, and it says staph is a cause of it. But anything I've done to treat staph (one doc's route), never changed anything.. antibiotics, hibiclens, fungal creme, etc. I started Chantix yesterday. Woo. And I was afraid to say it, I was 247lb all week, not eating so hot.. 2 days ago scale said 250! ACK! I was a bit sad.. then yesterday it's back to 246.. whew. But then we celebrated 4 b'days yesterday (mine included) so I got my own cake. And I just took a fork to it! I ate about 1c of b'day cake. And I couldn't help myself, I finally threw the fork away and stepped back. They told me to take it home, I was like hell no, that's 20lbs right there heh.

LOL Jenn. Thanks ya'll and Terry ROFL.. when I was reading your post, I started turning red cause I was thinking about my undies. I'm glad he didn't see those! It's not like men don't see our pics, but on this forum everyone can relate to the body issues, so I don't think about it.. I won't even let DH look at my B&A Pics! One or more of my cats is sick, since we went to Tunica. I don't know what happened, but they have diarhea like crazy. So they've been filling up the litterbox quicker than we can clean it (Cat Genie- self cleaning box), and then using it ALL OVER the bathroom floor. So I got a digestive care formula food last night and it didn't help between then and now. This morning one of them diarhead on my kitchen rug and behind my lay-z-boy.. GRRR. All last night and today I've been running around the house with paper towels, carpet cleaner, and anti-icky poo. Did I mention we have white carpets? So I just locked them all in the bathroom with their litterbox, and a bowl of water. Starving them for a day or two to get whatever it is out of their system. I dunno what's goin on. Every once in a while they all start getting sick, anytime I've taken them to the vet for it, they're fine just having tummy issues. I guess stress of us being out of town. But we've been back a week! Sometimes I hate havin animals. I love em, could never get rid of em, but it makes me never want to get more when they're gone.

I believe it Kat! My car was broken into at work, at home.. both in broad daylight with people around. They never had anything to steal, so it just meant I had to pay $$$ to replace the windows. And there is STILL broken glass in my door after years. I got so resentful of that city. BUT I still have some bestfriends there, so I do miss it.

I'm a big believer in the magic bullets, not the food thing.

At least it's not fat. :rolleyes2: The world can see when you're fat, they can't see when your skin is saggy.. THAT's what I tell myself.

Thank you! I sent to my mom, who a while back said "You let russ take naked pics of you?!" and I said NO I use a timer, I wouldn't let him take pics of me like that, I feel all ooky like he'd be examinin me. So anyway tonight she said "Can Russell not tuck the tag of your undies in?" lol. I guess it always flops out, I never noticed till she said something. But I re-itterated he does NOT take the pics, I do! ---- And I'm finally not emberassed to post my pic on things like myspace lol.

AND I am happy to say-- I don't know what to thank, but my hair is FINALLY getting thicker again. The 'bald spot' I use to have is now just a little thin, but not bald at all. And overall, when I pull my hair back it's getting thicker. YAY.

Ok here's my month's pics. I'm not unhappy. And now I can see how much I like the hair! I think I'll get it professionally done before my NY trip, I was just seein if I liked it, but I couldn't put streaks in the back myself, couldn't find the holes in the hat thing.

Unmentionable place :rolleyes2:

Today I've had 1/2c of coffee with 1 sweetnlow.. uhm 0 nutrition 2 12oz bottles of Desani water... 3/4 500ml (I dunno how much that is) Fiji water.. 4 pieces of edamame.. gnawing on my hand now... prolly lots of calories in that.. but high protein!

LOL Tracy! I was trying to do the same thing, I took about 8 pics, tryin to get the pic of Pam in the background, but I didn't angle it right and was afraid a coworker was gonna come in with me takin pics of myself on the cell! And wow, those multiplication flash cards sure do look yummy. I was seeing a honey bun or those wafer cookies.. Oh and I did the open mouth pose too, but I look really bad doing that lol

My band doc highly favors GB over the band. He had GB himself, and he said at his meeting, if his daughter needed WLS, he would want her to have GB. I raised my hand and asked why.. He said, because with the GB you don't have a foreign body inside you, which can be rejected at any point, for no reason. (I think staples are permanent too from the GB, which is confusing..) In any event, that was his argument. I also have a friend who said her friend got the LB and a month later had to have it removed, her body rejected it. Our bodies work in mysterious ways really.. They do reject foreign bodies, they reject babies sometimes, and there's no rhyme or reason. If you want to persue finding out no one can tell you not to, but it really just might be 'one of those things'. Have you asked your doc about the chances of your body rejecting the staples from GB or the tube for the sleeve? If they're related?

Me likey your nose ring :rolleyes2: I had mine done twice, both times I ripped it out when moving (hung in a box) and they were spirals, never got a replacement in time. You're makin me want one again.. doh! Do I see naughty treats on the other desk behind you?? Edited to add.. maybe I'm just gettin delusional. I'm seeing food everywhere..

Oh wait, my turn...

Your doc has to weight you, put weights in your shoes, fill your pockets with rolled quarters, etc.. get your BMI to show 35 if you're concerned :rolleyes2:

Yeah, that's why I think he needs out of that environment to start.

I go in 40m too. I am SO HUNGRY I could eat a whole cow. I told DH hours ago we had to go to lunch today, I'm starvin. he said we'll wait till 4 so we can go home after 'lunch'. I dunno if I'm gonna make it. I snacked on some edamame, but that just makin my stomach more upset. Foood feeeed meeee... waaaah.

Hehe, just money. Maybe I'll take my tax stimulation thing to the bank and save up to have PS one day after I've had kids and blah blah. But knowing you are doing the PS, anytime you see your skin and get upset about it, just think "In xxx amount of time, it'll be gone!"

Details? Might be able to offer input if we knew the situation :rolleyes2:

I had the crab cake appetizer from Ruby Tuesday's with cocktail sauce instead of their chili sauce. NUM NUM NUM, it was heaven. I only ate 1/2 of it.
