I had a reduction last year. My insurance didn't cover it because I didn't want to go below a D cup (I was a G). I found an amazing surgeon who was willing to do the procedure for a flat fee including everything so I could budget ahead and pay for it myself. Mosy breast reductions involve an anchor cut which is a cut down…

You can also set up a Google Voice number for free. I prefer it over kik because you can also call each other so it's not just for texting.

Hi Moe.... Cindy 41, live in Los Angeles but originally from NY Divorced almost 4 years I'm dating from many sources but recently met a guy with potential while I was out with a friend so we'll see what happens.

I have a unique perspective on this. I had a guy friend that from Day 1, told me he was going to marry me. I would always say things like "Thank you but I don't love you like that". We were friends for over 10 years while this was going on. I was always totally honest with him. I never allowed any cuddling or hand holding…

There's a show called "Catfish" on one of the cable stations here in the US. I only saw it once but it was crazy. This guy was scammed by a girl so he decided to help others track down online daters who always had excuses why they couldn't meet. On the episonde I saw, this girl had convinced herself this guy was real and…

Personally I think you should try whatever you want as long as you're being healthy and reasonable. I'm currently trying the blood type diet because it makes sense for me. My goal is to follow it for 30 days and then see how I feel. If I feel better then I'll continue. If I don't see any improvement in my energy or weight…

I tried them because I don't really sweat very much. They worked in that sense but they get heavy and uncomfortable if you work out for too long. Now I just use them when I visit the east coast in winter. They're better than thermal underwear for keeping me warm. :laugh:

I had some issues with stalkers. A couple of guys wouldn't accept that I didn't want to see them again after the initial coffee date and kept texting and calling so I got a Google Voice number. It's been great! You can text and call so it does everything. When a guy calls me, it rings my phone and announces them so I can…

I now carry pepper spray and a taser with me on first dates. If they're too close then you can't use the pepper spray but 350,000 volts means he's going down!

My worst dating story ever.... I was emailing with this guy on POF for a couple of weeks. Things started to get a little too flirty so I suggested we meet for coffee. He agreed and made some comment that had me a little concerned about what he was expecting so I wrote him saying "just to be clear - nothing is going to…

My weekend was all about Sunday... I was hosting a houswarming party at my new place for all my friends so Friday night I shopped for the food, Saturday I prepped and cooked a ton of food and then Sunday I got to enjoy hanging out with my amazing friends on my patio. It was totally worth the effort but it was exhausting!

I tried a couple of stir events in my area. They do try to keep a fairly even ratio of male to female which is nice but they do fill up quickly. The drinks/mingle event was a bust. I felt it was even worse than just going to a bar because you knew everyone was "looking" so it was like a line-up where everyone is checking…

Welcome to the newer members! You should be so proud of yourselves for taking these positive steps and seeking additional support! We're all here for the same reason and we definitely like to stay positive and encourage each other to reach our goals!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:…

It depends on the plateau. If I have been doing the same thing for more than 8 weeks but nothing has changed for the past 3, then I start to make some changes. If I made some changes recently, then I wait at least 4 weeks before making new changes. I hit a long plateau and then realized that I wasn't eating enough to fuel…

I'm in a similar situation. I was at my lowest in Mid-November right before Thanksgiving and now I'm 10 pounds up. I also never recorded gains because they were always temporary but this time I had to do it. I just felt like I was lying to all my "friends" having my loss number be 10 pounds higher than I really am right…

It's not easy to find people in LA where I can have a truly intellectual conversation without it becoming something dramatic so I was trying to salvage a possible friendship since we had connected on a highly intellectual level.

I totally accept the "rules" of online dating. I expect a guy to be dating multiple women which is why I continue dating others until I'm sure we both want something exclusive. What was frustrating was that after the first date, he emailed me twice saying he felt a strong connection and he was really looking forward to the…

Thanks Danielle... you're pretty fabulous too. I do know everyone is right. He wasn't really that into me... one of my friends said I was probably a back-up plan for a while. Definitely moving on!

This actually makes sense. Thanks. As for contacting him, as the female I try to let the guy be the pursuer so I sit back and often wait for them to contact me. Especially of they say they will. This was the first time it bugged me basically because of what he had said in our conversations. Usually if a guy doesn't contact…

Not many New Yorkers actually live in Manhattan. I grew up in Brooklyn and we had a 5 bedroom 2 and 1/2 bathroom house with a pool in the yard.

Personally I don't like it when a guy brings me flowers because I feel like its impersonal. Anyone can stop at a store and pick up a bunch of flowers. I'd rather he wait until he really gets to know me and then give me something that really truly reminds him of me. That way I know I'm special to him.

I like the positive attitude DM!! I second this statement.

I switched to soy milk because it lasts much longer than regular milk. I keep my bread in the refigerator and that usually gives me about 2-3 weeks before it goes bad. I try to go to the farmer's market every other week for fruits and veggies since most things can last about that long. I'm also lucky that my job provides…

I was never a fan of apartment living but my opinion has changed in the last few years. I lost a lot of money because I had to sell my house fast when I moved to Loas Angeles 4 years ago and I still haven't finished paying it off. I think a lot is dependant on the neighbors and the landlord. Sometimes I hear the upstairs…

Until 3 years ago we owned a house in Pescara. It's across from Rome on the Adriatic Sea. My grnadparents lived there until they dies and looked after it for us but as we grew up, the visits became further apart. Unfortunately property laws in Italy are really bad for absentee owners so we had a lot of squatters do a lot…

I'm often involved in firing people since I'm the company's legal counsel so I just can't cross that line to date anyone at work. Can you imagine ... "Sorry but today will be your last day here. I need you to give me your ID card and Parking card, but I'll see you at home later" Talk about awkward!!!

My starangest paranormal story was when I was a teenager. My sister and I went over to her friend's house which was supposedly possessed. Things would move on their own, crosses would flip upside down on the walls and all kinds of strange things. So we decided to go see for ourselves. When we got to the front door, my…

I'm Cindy. My father was born in Italy so I spent every summer in Italy with my grnadparents growing up. It definitely affects how I see things. I have few if any boundaries and will discuss anything anytime with anyone. I decided when I was 13 that I wanted to be a lawyer and graduated law school 10 years later. I now…

Congratulations to you too!!!

Definitely not a saint but did push my limits a few times! MM - There were definitely moments that they would have been in danger if I owned a gun... lol
