Have you tried the Salsa Ranch? It's even MORE amazing, and I wouldn't have thought that was possible.

Are these swear pants suitable for viewing by children or in mixed company?? :noway: (sorry, couldn't resist!)

It's one thing if you are poking fun at yourself or someone like you. It's quite another if you are using "humor" in an attempt to bully others.* And I think some of you misunderstand "free speech". Free speech (in the US) means that the government cannot jail you for it (in many cases -- in some they actually can, with…

My daughter is tiny but packs her entire wardrobe (OK, maybe it just seems that way) when she flies and carries the max amount of luggage/carry-ons...I'm not tiny but I generally only carry what I can get in a small backpack (like the kind many kids take to school) and generally do not check any bags. My purse isn't huge,…

Oh, I totally forgot Bunnicula and The Celery Stalks at Midnight (so cute -- very nonscary stories about a vampire bunny, which of course feeds only on plants, with a Scooby Doo feel to them)!

Wow! You look GREAT!

Oh wow! You look great! PS My son is single... :laugh:

The one person I know who got married that soon after meeting has a 35 year anniversary coming up. And they are very sweet together, always have been.

Wow! SO impressive!

My kids are grownups now, but I read aloud at bedtime pretty much from the time they could understand until age 12 or so. I think the overall favorite kids books were "My Father's Dragon" and "Are You My Mother?" I know I read these quite a few times. By the time my oldest was 6, I'd read chapters of adult books, and both…

I either stay busy or read in bed. This works because I don't allow food in my bedroom. Admittedly, my kids are grown now, but when they were small, starting around 1st grade for the oldest one, we'd have a reading time for at least a couple of hours (the younger child played quietly instead of reading before he learned…

I count calories; it's pretty simple with this website. So far it works well, and makes me mindful of my intake.

I don't know about running (and I haven't had my back surgery yet), but the Kalso negative heel shoes (Earth shoes) are the only thing that's kept me walking for the past 5 years.

I've lost enough weight that my pants are big and baggy (I'm trying to skip a whole size before I buy new ones, though I did break down and buy smaller scrub pants after mine fell off, luckily not at work). My husband thinks it's hilarious to sneak up behind me and "pants" me when I least expect it (not in public thank…

I have 30+ year platonic friendships with several men (okay, one friendship is actually 40+ years). At one point or another, I've been single at the same time as each of them without us banging each other. Likely at some point, each of them may have felt a transient sexual attraction for me, just as at some point, I felt a…

I really like insects (well, except for roaches which just gross me out) and actually considered becoming an entomologist at one point.

When we become parents, it's really, really easy to be parents just like our parents were, because that's really the only example we have. It takes mindfulness to avoid the mistakes our own parents made, but it is something you can do -- it takes thinking through your words and actions. Even if you can't always do it right…

How cool is that?!!

Can you switch physicians? They are not all like that. People who make rude comments (whether about weight or something else) are broken people at worst, or terribly unaware at best. Don't let their issues harm you, and cut 'em out of your life where you can.

It's entirely possible he's using your weight as an excuse to get out of the relationship (easier if he can blame it on you instead of himself). I think it's best to get some counseling -- you can go by yourself if he isn't interested. No one needs a partner who makes life harder.

Wow, what a great achievement! You've worked hard and it shows!

^^^^THIS! Siggi's is so lovely; the texture is the best ever of any yogurt.

You look great! I think sometimes the people who love us are used to seeing us bigger...so when we lose a lot of weight, they may perceive us as being too thin only because they have not seen us thin before and they think of us as bigger people. If they were to see a stranger with your exact body type, my guess is that…

I'm sort of OK with it as long as they weigh the luggage and the person for the total weight. If the airline is thinking about cost of transport (more weight = greater cost), then that makes sense. My daughter is tiny, but when she travels, I think she takes her entire extensive wardrobe with her; I carry a small backpack.…

SO VERY SMART! This is the kind of thing more high school seniors need to understand. :) to the OP: This was sarcasm, wasn't it? totally went over my head. Durr.

Do one or two years at a state university or a community college, DO WELL, and THEN go to the college of your choice. You save a lot of money AND you still graduate from wherever the heck it is you want to go. English 101 and College Algebra are not going to be that different at Podunk University then they are at Stanford.

Oh no, now we have to watch out for those too? But I just bought one on Sunday! Why haven't you warned us before this?

I'm a nurse, and more days than not, someone will tell me, "I want to go to nursing school" or "I wish I had gone to nursing school". The thing is, I don't rant about this or get tired of hearing it. These are people who want some encouragement or direction. Sure, they have excuses for the past or excuses for right…
