  1. I am single, but my list would be.... 1. Johnny Depp 2. Patrick Dempsey 3. Michael Ealy 4. Jay Hernandez (from Crazy Beautiful/Six Degrees)
  2. Hi, Everything is coming really good other than time going slow. I don't have my phone consult until the 16th so I really haven't started to do much. I am mainly just gathering information. I did get a pill crusher and I ordered some different Protein powders that someone recommended to try. I hope you are making it through the snow okay:) Thanks
  3. I read about Hanks Finest Protein Milkshake on another website. I ordered a sample from their website. It was $3 I think. Hopefully, I will get it soon and I will post how it is. Also, they will give you $6-$9 off your upcoming up.
  4. I am a grad student. I am going into my 2nd semester now for Public Admin. I also work fulltime @ a company that outsources to mortgage companies. In my dept we research property taxes.
  5. I guess I could call the insurance company with the code and check w/them. It would be great to only pay the copay. Thanks for the responses!!
  6. I didn't even think about her. She did lose that weight pretty fast.
  7. I don't watch infomercials. I haven't tried anything since Trimspa came out. It really doesn't matter to me @ all....
  8. Hi, there was another thread on here about myspace too...I have had a page for a while and I am finally starting to add people and join some groups. It is pretty fun. I kept running into people and then finding more people on their pages. I think my name on there is either skyeblu79 or skyeblu1979.
  9. That is so true. It's a shame it has to get to that point before people can learn to have compassion for other people.
  10. That sounds like so much fun!!! I wish I could do something like that...
  11. I thought the las topic brought up was the media and its portrayal. And how people's opinions were formed.
  12. Maybe I am rambling (working and typing). I said I thought your statement was offensive. You said it's not. That's your opinion, I am just stating mine. You can be blunt I probably was rushing trying to go to lunch. I would be offended if someone said that to me. I just asked my coworker if she was offended and she said yes. I just wanted someone else's opinion. Her almost exact wording was if someone told me there were some good fat, black, Muslim women in the world that she would question what kind of person they were.
  13. Why would you be offended by it? I only took your situation in the context of what you said.... I don't care what you said your statement was offensive. I equate it to saying I have some black friends? Speak up for what...I can't do it. It's the same to me as going up against the clan.
  14. Okay, maybe I took you wrong, but that really was how you said it. If I was talking to you in person maybe it would have been different. It would have made a difference if you specified Conservative Christians.
  15. It sounds like sterotyping to me. And she posted like 5 posts and none of them said anything about conservative christians. And the thing is I have agreed with a lot of the stuff you too have said and b/c I am a Christian it sounds like my thoughts are completely discounted. I don't speak for all Christians and they all don't speak for me. I would think the same would go w/your beliefs (I would think). I would never say that crap about anything you believe, b/c personally I think it's tacky and a lack of respect. Laurend, did say she grew up in a small (maybe sheltered town). I also grew up in the south (NC), but I have experienced a lot of stuff. I guess I just don't see how you can be an atheist knowing how you are prejudged a lot and then say some of that same crap to someone else.
  16. Whatever? You can say what you want to say but if someone made that same comment about something related to you, you would think the same thing. You are clearly white, your a woman, and your overweight. If someone said that crap to you, I guarantee you wouldn't be saying that. All fat white woman aren't bad, some are good. What the?!
  17. This weather is soooo crazy this year. The high is 74 here today.
  18. What in the world?!
  19. What's your point? Let me replace what you said what some other stuff... I know many whites are good people (although, I don't see most "missionary work" as being something to be proud of), but I still see white every day that are mean, bigoted, and disgraceful human beings. I know many asians are good people (although, I don't see most "missionary work" as being something to be proud of), but I still see asians every day that are mean, bigoted, and disgraceful human beings. I know many muslims are good people (although, I don't see most "missionary work" as being something to be proud of), but I still see muslims every day that are mean, bigoted, and disgraceful human beings. I know many gays are good people (although, I don't see most "missionary work" as being something to be proud of), but I still see gays every day that are mean, bigoted, and disgraceful human beings. Do you not see what you are doing? Sounds like a bunch of stereotyping and prejudging. I know many blacks are good people (although, I don't see most "missionary work" as being something to be proud of), but I still see blacks every day that are mean, bigoted, and disgraceful human beings. And I think they majority of people in this country do know Muslims and Jews. Just @ work alone I can name Muslims, Jews, and many other groups. A lot of people don't allow themselves to get to know other people. Sure there are some towns and areas that are segregated, but come on.. Why don't you think missionary work is something to be proud of?
  20. More than anything it used to hurt my feelings. Probably, b/c I think I used to take it all personally. You think hey I am part of this group, what are they saying/thinking about me. Then I realized some people are really ignorant (truly dumb). I have been stereotyped throughout my whole life for one reason or another. I try not to inflict that crap on other people. Some people are ignorant and want to remain ignorant. It took me a long time, but I realize that's how it is. I think the media does play a big role, but you have to be smart enough not to buy in on everything you see on tv. It's too bad everyone isn't smart enough to realize that. I have stopped watching a lot of tv shows b/c of that. A lot of the stuff that's on our local news is crap I think put out there to sway people certain ways. To live in certain areas, etc. It's amazing how much stuff that I know that never even hits the news.
  21. I just called & spoke w/Marilyn. I am only now getting my phone consult. I will have that on January 16th!!! I spoke w/Robin yesterday & she told me to call back w/my date & they would let me know if it was available. I thought that was my next step and then and then I would speak w/the nutritionist & have my phone consult. Oh, well...Hopefully the flight prices will still be good then & I can still have the surgery done by the end of February. Looking back it was I really should have done that in the 1st place. I should have known better.
  22. I bought the book during the holidays, but I haven't read it yet. Hopefully I will read it over the weekend.
  23. That is true of some people, but most of the skinny people I know eat pretty much what they want. There are some people that are health food junkies and stuff, but most that I know eat "real"fast food and stuff. Most of the people I went to college with that didn't gain the freshman 15, sophomore 10 weren't any different from anyone else. Maybe the athletics? One of my friends is 28 now with 2 kids, people always ask her what she does and eats. She doesn't exercise and doesn't think about what she eats. You can't tell she has had any children. She could barely do the 1.5 miles we had to do in fitness class. Maybe it will catch up with her when she 50. She is a strange one though....I have never seen someone her size that is so consumed with food.
