I lost nearly all mine with childbirth. 13 pound gain. 6 pound baby. 2 pounds each for fluid and placents. I left the hospital in my blue jeans.

Wow! You act like sh'e this first person in the world who did this. Lots of women do the exact same thing.

Have you tried asking her?

Did you cleary tell him this? I ask because I clearly told the luckiest man in the world this and it is exactly what I got. He picked a restaurant, made reservations, presented me with a small gift when he picked me up, opened doors, helped with my jacket, held chairs, everything. I enjoyed it so much, he did it again. And…

I don't care what you call it but can we come up with words to replace boyfriend and girlfriend? I'm far too old for these terms.3 I also dislike friend because I'm more than that, lover because our moms are in their 60s and 70s, siginificant other because...well...just because, and partner because we're straight. OK back…

When I'm at work.

Exactly! It will also provide some self esteem so you stope visualizing yourself as a victim and start to see the only person holding you back from greatness is you! I lived in similar desperate times. I worked two jobs then decided I didn't want to work that hard for the rest of my life so I quit one and went to college.…

Germs! I work at a medical school and I have idea what people are working on in the labs. Why do they think I want to shake their hands???

My 19 year old daughter. She's never home in the evenings or on weekends so anytime she wants to talk to me, she calls me at work. Sometimes it's a dozen times each day. Today she called me at my job to spend 10 minutes *****ing about her job!

Jimmy Johns's Big John. Substitute wheat bread for French bread Hold the mayo. Add Dijon, onions, and oregano. 425 calories Unfortunately they screwed it up so I watched the rest of my coworkers eat while JJ remade and redelivered it.

Women without make-up are not all "plain jane Amish looking." I have never worn make up and I get checked out all the time. I am good looking but I think it's also my confidence and carefree attitude that attracts men. If others get that confidence from wearing make-up, then more power to them.

I dated a guy when I was 14 or 15 who didn't like it. He always told me that was was first attracted him to me because he felt I was real and knew how to have fun. I've never worn make-up in my life. I've also never had acne or any other skin conditions. Maybe there's a connection.

I get distracted by my own.

My advice? 1. Don't look. 2. Be very, very careful. I have a coworker who tells me I dress like a hooker. It makes for a very uncomfortable work environment. My clothing choices are not her business but, more important, I do not dress like a hooker. We both work in the office of the chairman of surgery. She comes in…

Slayer of dragons and fighter of stupidity.

If your fiance is ignoring it and still helping with the planning, I would ignore it. My bigger question would be where did you hear this? If it was from your fiance, why would he tell you something so hurtful. If it was from someone else, what are the motives of that person and what do they have to gain by telling you?

I got assaulted and robbed on my way home one night. I was five blocks from home at a busy intersection under a bright light. It happens anywhere. Of course you should report it. I'd like to say that's the automatic answer but when it happens to you, your brain is not working right. I was not going to report it. A passerby…

January 2014. We're getting married in a beautiful stone pavilion in a county park. Fireplace. Dance hall. The whole bit. That's too rustic for wonderland. So I thought winter ski lodge. I finally settled on snowflakes. The colors are violet, silver, and white. I'm getting so excited!

Me too! Looks like January 2014. Anyone here can add me as a friend. Please?

Geez you guys! I'm at work. How am I supposed to explain all this laughter?

I smash boiled potatoes and put cottage cheese on top. Don't knock it till you've tried it. My dad was a chef and served this to us often. I've expanded it some. I sprinkle garlic powder on the potatoes and pepper on the cottage cheese. Just had this for lunch.

You got sucked into that thread too?

Today I'll stay on track because I didn't yesterday.

I smoked from 1984-1998. I walked out of work one Monday night and lit the last cig in my pack. I either had to get off the bus in a snow storm to buy more or quit. So I quit. It was the only time I ever tried to quit. I did get off the bus to buy Nicoderm patches. I bought one box (a two week supply) and used them full…

I loved everything about it. I loved the floral sheets on the bed and the purple towels in the bathroom. I loved that the toilet seat and lid were always down. I loved deciding to stop somewhere after work and not reporting it to anyone. I loved not cooking dinner if I wasn't hungry. But I loved my boyfriend more. He…

True but silly. My daughter is out in a bra and underwear all the time. (Rocky Horror shadow cast member) It covers more than her bikini. She's actually stood next to a ploice officer while she was in costume waiting to cross the street. Nothing illegal. Some people are just prudes. I probably would have said something…

Lets me stick a pinwheel out toe sunroof of his car and yell, "Wheeee. We. We. Weeeeeee." (On a side note, I will never understand why men and kids love that and many women just glare.)

Everything! I work full time and carry 13 credits. He cooks and cleans so I have time to study. He opens doors for me. He walks on the traffic side of the sidewalk. He respects me. He helps me with my coat and my chair. He drops me off and picks me up at the door if the weather is bad. And if the weather is good, he offers…

I do and I've been known to grab them when people stare,

Honestly? I divorced him.
