If your rings are gold, I can't see how they would change your fingers to green, since one of the properties of gold is non-corrosiveness. Platinum is anotehr non corrosive metal. Silver wouldn't turn your fingers green, when it corrodes it turns a grey, copper and bronze, (because bronze contains a high amount of copper) would turn your fingers green. It is possible that your rings have a fairly high nickle content, and you could have developed an alergy to nickle, which is a fairly common allergy. Another possiblity is that your base metabolism has changed so you are now very acidic and your sweat is causeing the corrosion. what about other jewlery? do you have the same issue with other jewlery? Watches, eyeglasses, even clothes fasteners could concevably react.

let me hazzard a guess... body dysmorphia?

or maybe slow roasted with a stuffing with just a hint of sage. yeah, Apricots and sage. You would need to probably tent to keep the meat moist. So what time is dinner?

I have this one. It is very amazing. I watched it the first time with a friend who would perfer to not delve into alternate though paths or processes.

it may be that you are going through chewing withdrawls. You might try a wad of gum to give you that chewing sensation... You can do this, you can do anything for a week.

This year my Spudboy will be taking not one girl to the prom, but two girls. The second girl is his girlfriend's best friend, and she really wanted to go. Neither girl goes to his school, but that isn't going to stop them. Last year, he went to prom with two different friends, a boy and a girl. Spudboy graduates high school in a couple of weeks, so he will be getting his AA degree the same year I get my BBA... I don't really recall thinking that my parents were old when I was Spud's age. But then, I'd been getting stoned with my mother since I was 15 years old. I had friends whos parents were in their 60's when I was in high school, and I felt they were old....

Uhm, at 156 pounds you don't have a "big fat wide ass" anymore. Sorry to break the news to you.... "Talk to the hand baby. Talk to the hand." While sometimes you cannot actually say that to their face, you can politly listen, them completely disreguard what they said. I suppose because I was raised by wolves I have grown a thick hide as I've gotten older. Mind you, I didn't tell my mother because I just didn't want to hear all the crap she was going to put on me. My big mouthed sister blabbed to her, even after I asked her to not tell our mother. *sigh* The surprizing news is that my mother is totally suportive of me and the Band. Talk about stunned.

I had my gall bladder out in 1997. I apperently didn't get that memo Michelle. Doh!

Christina's getting her ba-and! Christina's getting her ba-and! PM me if you need me!

Just a sec while I get some cotton for Lisa's ears. Wait, here, put these headphones on and listen to some Rammstin for a second.... yummy rabbits. My dear Grandmother would fry them like chicken, and I like to cook them in a fricase. (cut the rabbit (or chicken) into pieces, season to taste, pour a can of cream of mushroom Soup over it. Bake in 350 oven until the meat falls off the bone.)

Hey Jen, I believe that everybody get freaked out. Some gain weight, some done. I gained weight, mainly due to the steroids for my asthma.

You will do fine, but yes, it sux. Valium? Of course, just think on the positive side. At least you aren't too sick to be freaked out, right?

who are Rob and Amber?

The grounds of the ranch were dug up and twelve corpses were uncovered in shallow graves. Amongst these victims were two entire families; Harvey Dubs and his wife and baby son, and Lonnie and Brenda O'Conner and their baby son. The women had been abused and killed after their husband and infants were disposed of. Five of the bodies were of men lured to the ranch to be robbed and killed - including Robin Stapley and Paul Cosner - and the twelfth was identified as 18-year-old Kathleen Allen, who knew Ng because her boyfriend had once been his cellmate in prison. As well as these complete remains, police found many charred fragments of human bones, but they were unable to determine the identity of the victims they had come from, or how many there had been. The authorities concluded that Lake and Ng had murdered as many as twenty-five people. http://www.answers.com/topic/leonard-lake

I used to feel like a freak, didn't help that my mther and younger sister used to describe me as looking like a circus freak, especially when I was breast feeding. They told me that if I'd ever had another baby that they would have tried to discourage me from breastfeeding the new baby. Wolves, the lot of them.

A friend had her eyebrows done, and she looks terrible! She's allergic to the dye/ink used and she's had nothing but trouble. I have very sensitive skin, so the only tatoo I have is where I stabbed myself with a pencil... That, and I just know I would regret anything I got after 10 years or so.

nice to hear from you Kendra, I was just going to send you a PM to make sure you were okay! What a great compliment and I'll bet you were left a grinnin' fool! Great work on the weight loss too!

In statistics, we call that an irregular downward trend. I think you should post it with your before/after montage. Yes, I think that is a great idea. Congrats on the hard work!

Hippo Birdies, two ewes! Hope you had an awesome day!

Lastnight we went to the support group that is hosted by our surgeon. I figured I should go since I'm now home. My DH now weighs 403!!! This is so amazing! I need some suggestions on how to treat him special when he breaks into the 300 pound range. He's weighed more than 400 pounds for the last 25 years, so breaking that 300 pound barrier is going to really be something emotionally speaking. Obviously, we can't Celebrate by going to a restaurant! When he came to pick me up this weekend, I realized that he is swimming in his clothes. He's gone through all the holes in his belt, and is now using the mesh part of it. We recently welcomed Zoe to Onederland. What do we call it when we welcome someone to the 300 pound range?

I got a great NSV Sunday night when I got home. My sweet son wanted to know how I was doing, with the band. We've been apart since I got my band 10 weeks ago. He said I looked really good, and that my face was full of life, and that I was glowing. Then I had to chase him down the stairs and out the front door, and around the truck. I RAN down the stairs, I RAN around chasing him until we nearly colapsed laughing!
