Walmart on a Christmas Eve...or any day really.

I don't mind Christmas music but when it's played at Christmas. One of the radio stations in my city started playing it on November 1. Ridiculous.

Yes, I kind of felt that way myself.

Oh, I didn't know about that. Pretty two-faced of them.

Amazing transformation. You look wonderful. Great lyrics too Miss former german apple pie.

For most people is a way of enhancing ones looks, not hiding.

Great job! Your stats are almost exactly like mine (except I'm older) I'm at 179-180 after having lost 75 lbs. My goal weight (at some point) is 170 although I have to say I'm pretty happy where I am and wearing a size 12. I'm going to maintain over the winter and then perhaps try to get that last 10 lbs in the spring. But…

If only. Parents have the right to refuse treatment for their children but usually not if it's against the advice of the medical team and if the treatment could save the child's life. That's why parents are often charged when their child dies without medical treatment when the child could have reasonably been saved.

I'm tired of hearing about the horrors of "big pharma." Yes, there are pharmaceutical companies that have committed fraudulent acts and heaven knows they make a lot of money on the drugs they sell. But they also spend a lot of money developing new drugs and do research on new medications all the time. It's "big pharma"…

You're probably supposed to gather your saliva in a jar and keep it for just such digestive emergencies.

I disagree with you. Children aren't possessions that parents can try out their ridiculous beliefs on. Too many children have died because parents buy into bullsh*t holistic treatments rather than getting tested, approved treatments that could save their lives. There was a child in my province who died a couple of years…

Gosh, what a yummy diet. The vegetable water with kelp sounds particularly exciting. Good god.

A couple of years ago I was in a grocery story looking at the cheese selection when this weird guy came up and said "oh no, no you're already fat enough." My response was of course the standard "f-off."

I'm not sure that the alien implants idea should be dismissed. Sounds very plausible. :p

It ticks me off that the diet industry is a multi billion dollar industry and we keep following each new fad like lemmings. I'm in my 50s and I've seen every fad come and go. When I was 15 I sucked diet iced tea from a baby bottle because that would supposedly help me keep weight off. :s None of this will die if we don't…

That's my guess too.

You won't be young forever, dear.

This says it perfectly for me. I love children - especially my niece and nephews - but I love more having my own life.

If you're achy then it's probably the flu.

A gun law that bans people from buying and owning such weapons would be a good start.

I'm 56 and I have never been married. I love being single and I love living alone. Make yourself and your life as happy as you can be. Only you can make you happy.

Sweetie you can see a therapist without it reflecting on your future job prospects. Your university probably provides free counselling sessions. And therapy is anonymous. It's not like your future employer can ever find out why you went...or even if you went. Please don't let this wrong idea stop you. You do need therapy.…

Whenever I watch the show and they go to the drive thru I think "get a small hamburger without sauce or bacon and a side salad with dressing on the side." If you must eat at a drive thru it is possible to eat a reasonable meal, It just shouldn't be done every day, twice a day.

This. I wish more people were as intelligent as you.

She mentions her peanut allergy and asthma in every single conversation. All 150 of us have to worry about taking care of her apparently.

My doctor said she doesn't believe in diets, that they don't work, which I agree with, but if I could lose even 20 lbs it would be much better for me. I haven't seen her since I lost 69 lbs so I think she'll be pleased with that.

I doubt you'll have loose skin problems then. You'll look terrific.
