  1. I wish him the best also, but it seems to me that we have seen this story before; only the names of the participants and the city have been changed. It was Walter Hudson and Dick Gregory a few years ago, and even though Hudson lost 900 pounds, he gained it all back and died soon after. We are helpless against this addiction unless we get help.
  2. I heard a rumor that starting on the next round of voting, all those calling in will be asked one question on current events. I have it from a good source (my uncle is a producer on AI) that the first question will be, "Who is Scooter Libby?":help: It is a secret, so if you guys don't pass this question around via e-mail, the educated guess is that less than 15% of the phone-in callers will get the correct answer. The questions are important to the advertisers. It helps them with determining how sophisticated to make their commercials.:think
  3. You would be surprised how fast motivated people are. Maybe “motor-vated” might be a better term.:bandit In the early 1950's, my mother, grandmother and aunt used to say handbag or pocketbook interchangeably, but the purse was a small bag usually with coins and bills in it. Back in those days, no one had credit cards (at least not in our socio-economic bracket) and women didn't drive cars (nor did that many men), so the change purse or money purse was the zippered sometimes, but usually held together with interlocking clips, small bag inside of the big bag.
  4. And if you are not home?:bandit
  5. You've never been married to me.:Bunny
  6. Where did this myth start? A wedding is about two people. Where does it say (in some Holy book or international law) that women are so precious and SPOILED that they have a right to be a tyrant on their wedding day? BS, me thinks. These are not reasons why a bride should be so arrogant on her wedding day; these are examples of the arrogance and self-centered notions of brides and women in general, and they are traditions that put money in the pockets of businessmen who are more than willing to sell the wedding participants all kinds of junk at triple the price (it would cost at any other event).
  7. It will not be fair if Laurend gets a band. No one deserves to be that smart and slim too.
  8. When my step-father was in a nursing home about 15 years ago, he was on the 4th floor. I would walk up the 4 flights and then take the elevator down. Some of the nurses saw me quite often (I used to visit 2 or 3 times a week) and they asked me why? "Other people take the elevator up and walk down. Only you take the elevator down, but walk up. Why?" Going up, there is constant pressure on the knee, but stepping down the spaces between the joints open up as the foot is lowered to the next step down and then the joints bang together as the weight is applied.
  9. So both of you are saying that what I call a pockerbook, you call a purse. Right? Handbag=Pocketbook=Purse?
  10. Caladryl is also great. It is Calamine lotion and Benedryl.
  11. Are you drinking plenty of water? You need to drink enough water until your urine is clear.
  12. I called the big bag a pocketbook and the small item with the money in it, "the purse", but I notice that some people call the bag a purse and the small item with the money in it, "their wallet". Question: Which is the correct nomenclature, or is it another North/South issue?:girl_hug:
  13. Your BMI is over 41. A BMI over 40 gives you a much better chance at approval. Good luck and welcome to LBT.
  14. This week, the police in my home town, have been stopping women on the street to warn them about three big mistakes that the women are making, which are leaving them open to criminal activity. #1. When purchasing gas at self-service gas stations, many women leave their pocketbooks on the seat of their cars, leave their car doors unlocked and take the $20 or $30 into the convenience store section to pay. When they come back to their car, their purse or its contents are missing. Because the thieves take the contents, but leave the pocketbook, many women do not know their credit cards and driver's license are missing for hours or days. #2. Many women walk between their cars and the stores in the mall (or strip mall) holding the pocketbook by the long strap. A purse-snatcher can easily grab the pocketbook and the strap will break right off. #3. (And this is the worst) Many women, put their pocketbook into the top section of their shopping cart (and leave it open quite often) and then turn their back on their shopping cart while reaching for products on the shelves. Some women comparison shop with their back turned from their cart and wide open pocketbook. Some walk 5 or 10 feet away from their carts. Thieves will very seldom take the pocketbook, but will reach in and take the purse or wallet with the money, credit cards, driver's license and other personal data. It is not until checkout time, which in a Super-Wal-Mart could be an hour or more later, that the unsuspecting women finds out the awful truth; “I've been robbed”.
  15. Watch this [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr23tpWX8lM]Clip about protecting your home[/ame] from invasion and/or burglary

  19. Someone once asked what I would do if I hit the lottery. I shocked him my telling him I would get an artificial right shoulder (3 surgeries), an artificial left ankle (2 surgeries), and 2 artificial knees (3 right knee surgeries, 2 left knee surgeries) and 10 artificial knuckles (many injuries as a mechanic, plus arthritis). My doctor wants to put in a right knee, but he says he wants me to lose some weight first because of the stress on the bone to joint junction.
