Indeed! Modest does not mean frumpy!! There's another thread about "age appropriate." At 47, I find many women my age dress like OLD LADIES. No thank you.

I think I love you.

I have a niece who is like my daughter. I adore her! I aspire to be just like her when I grow up. ;) She still teases me about wearing my "80's flannel." I live in the desert. It gets BUTT cold here!!

OOOOooooh you went there!!! BAHhahahaha!!

It's difficult going from a two bedroom to a studio. I had a HUGE two bedroom apartment with hardwood floors. Then I moved to Vegas where I had a one room inlaw unit. With two cats and a MinPin it was a little cramped. If you really want a dog, then start looking for a new home. None of us like to move. It stinks. I ended…

Amen Sister!!!

Skinny leg jeans don't really leave much to the imagination.

A friend of mine and I used to go every weekend to a pub in the city. She was quite the hoochie. She'd wear skirts I'd consider a BELT with high heels. She stopped asking me to go with her because I got more attention that she did - in my jeans, hiking boots and tees. PS: Before you give me grief for wearing hiking boots…

I'm a very modest dresser. I do wear pants but they are always loose. I've just never been fond of tight or revealing clothing. I love the wrap-around skirts from Tznius. To respond to Meredith - I'm not a modest dresser because I'm insecure about my body. I'm quite confident. There once was a time when I was weight…

I have this: http://dave430.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/11th-doctor-promo-pic11.jpg

DITTO! I hate buying pants but I love jeans! I am 47. I find most of what people my age wear just outright frumpy. Plus I'm short. These trendy cropped pants everyone my age is wearing just make me look shorter than I actually am. None of us want to be told what to wear. So why should any of us be telling others? I once…

It does when you drain the entire lake. dude.

Yes, it can. It flushes your water soluable vitamins out of your system. People remember to take potassium after exercise but not after drinking mass quantities of water. The media has us convinced that high cholesterol is the reason for heart attacks in our country. But the American Heart Association says that only **2**…

Oh yes! You must - or lose Geek cred.... HAHAHA!! Theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C7YzqTtFXU

HUGE Red Dwarf fan. Love the program. I about died laughing when they tried to do an American version and cast Craig Bierko as Lister. How clueless were they? Lister: Are you saying I've got a big bum? Rimmer: Like two badly parked Volkswagons.

The Crow Sandman Serenity I want the Boondock Saints series but am too poor to order them at the moment.

It is so true. I am a Franciscan. St. Francis of Assisi really took it to the extreme. He was so focused on God that he basically never ate. And yet he walked miles for months at a time. Never a good idea.

Has anyone mentioned Red Dwarf yet? Or Black Adder?

Indeed. It's a lot more important to **explain** just what Papal Infallibility means, rather than just admiting we have had bad popes. There are FAR too many misunderstandings out there about Catholicism. I spend a lot of time on Yahoo Answers trying to dispell myth and rumor. It isn't easy.

It's a very personal choice. Not one you should let the media sway you on. Seitan is a veggie meat that is far more healthy than beef or chicken. Literally, seitan has half the calories, twice the protein and almost zero fat when compared to beef. Tiger is correct in that one can be healthy or unhealthy either way. Why are…

Yup, it's me. My co-worker took this pic for International Female Ride Day . They wanted pics of all the participants.

Ditto! Same thing with 13th Warrior. My eyes puddle all up when Buliwyf comes out to fight - knowing he is dying. And his men begin their prayer for the dead. Then I sob when he actually dies. Er, and I cry every time I watch the newest trailer for The Avengers. Talk about nerd flag flying...

CONGRATULATIONS!! I love Pugs. They are SO adorable. Sometimes you have to let them be with you awhile, before either they tell you their name or their character traits do. I adopted a Miniature Pinscher. She has HUGE ears, like bumble bee wings. She is also constantly in motion. So after 2 hours in my home she was named…

Dark chocolate. I agree with Dave. Kick the habit. Begin cutting out the sugar and sweets. Especially if you are using artificial sweeteners. They are three times sweeter than regular sugar so they increase one's cravings three times as much.

I've been meaning to try this quick chickpea flour pizza crust. Maybe I'll make it tonight and let you know how it goes. It's a single serving that you cook in a pan. I have this great fake cheesey stuff I make, from a recipe in the same book. The recipe is online!…

Diet sodas have been linked to the obesity epidemic in America. Really fake sugars in general. That's why it shocks me how many people on this weight loss site consume so much diet soda. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/29/diet-soda-weight-gain_n_886409.html…

Not on its own. You have to work hard to make it go. I have a "vegan" friend who is a ballerina. She eats nothing but Dorritos, Top Ramen and diet soda. She's tall and rail thin, but all cellulite. Cellulite is where we women store our toxins. We really need to work hard to break it down and flush it out.

I just watched the Super Bowl blurb. Loki: I have an army. Tony Stark: eh... We have a Hulk.

I had never even HEARD about Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter until I stumbled across the trailer. It looks really good to me!

Do you cook for yourself? Or do you buy ready made meals? The best thing you can do is cook for yourself. You can get a basic rice cooker for about $10, but I recommend the $20 version that you can steam veggies while the grains cook. There are so many wonderful WHOLE grains. Skip the white rice. Bad for you. Brown rice,…
