Organizing USO entertianment tours for the troops overseas. Then, once I get tired of that - and dealing with celebrities will get tiring -- I want to become a certified fly fishing instructor and writer.

Your island or mine, Carl?

Putting in my notice because I won the lottery. Otherwise, fishing.

As a kid in the 60's, AIDS...a chocolate candy appetite suppressant my mom had. It didn't work, I ate the entire box. In the late 70's, seaweed and vinegar diet. I lost my appetite and all the friends at my lunch table. In the 80's, just not eating...saltines and hot tea. In the 90's, low fat was the key. I lost weight,…

1) Life isn't fair. Everyone is entitled to like what and who they want -- even you. If you don't want to be viewed as and treated like a fat girl, you can do something about that. Either move on, or change your life. Genetics is no excuse. No victim-mentality whining, please. Live with the consequences of your life…

Love,love, LOVE bald men!

I also have a tree story....GINKOS. They line the streets of Washington, D.C. and they are pretty. But beware the fruit pods! If you step on them, you will have what smells like dog poop on your shoes. Totally gross.

A Fiestaware nut has now entered this conversation. Online, try dinnerwareusa.com Also, while they may have registered at Macy's look for sales at Kohl's and JC Penney's. Macy's always charges MSRP and I NEVER pay that for mine.

It makes my day when --- I get a phone call from Afghanistan --- When my youngest pup gives me a puppy hug by putting her chin on my shoulder and snuggling into my neck --- When I knock out a serious, 1000+ calorie burn at the gym --- When I get a special date I get to dress up for --- When I get to enjoy a bubble bath and…

I just finished Henry Winkler's book "I Never Met an Idiot on the River." I'm just starting Ayn Rand's "The Virtue of Selfishness."

Here are my babies: Katie, who spent a half hour trying to get her kong that the cat was sleeping on and still keep her nose from getting whacked. This is my camping buddy, Cisco. And meet Misty. If you come to visit, wear something that doesn't show yellow fur because she is an incorrigible lapdog.

I love the intensity in his eyes!

I love them, particularly the ones with the arm poles. That feature alone helps me get my work out in even on those days when knees and hamstrings are not in proper working order. One thing, Ceiling alert: be aware of the height of the household's tallest user plus the foot pedals....a small factor I overlooked when…

Hey there, as for support groups, there are a number on the local level. Also, a great resource to help you sort through curricula, support issues and legal issues is the Home School Legal Defense Association. www.hslda.org

My hips are 44 inches, but I'm between a size 14 and 16. I'm also thick in the thighs, so cut is a big issue. My favorites are the Lee brand comfort waist, they don't bag open at the waistline. This was a HUGE issue back in the days of sz 24. I was thrilled to see that they make the comfort waist style in regular sizes too.

I can vouch for the sugar hangover. That's the hardest part of "cheat" meals -- I can work off the calories, but the groggy part just hangs on and on. Avoid foods with high sugar content after 8 p.m. -- that doesn't just mean sweats, but a host of normally good things that sneak in the sugar grams -- try to move those…

Oh, I'll bite. 8.5 with the opportunity to rise or fall based on what comes out of his pie hole.

DITTO! The new profile photo is a heart-stopper.

Low drama single female here. Would rather go fishing than shopping.

M-F: 4:30 a.m. - get up - pack lunch, black coffee, cold cereal, fruit breakfast 6:00 a.m. - commute to work 8:00 a.m. - arrive at work - morning snack - 1 hard boiled egg, 5.5oz low sodium V-8, 1/8 cup walnuts 11:45-12:15 - 300-400 calorie lunch - nuke-in-the-box entree, sandwich bag of veggies (grape tomatoes, baby…

Darlin' you're improving the Chairforce's rep with every photo. Dang, I thought the only hot Air Force guys were PJs.

You all may be few but you're definately among the best! Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?

"Festive;" from September through the end of the year it crops up in every other sentence -- even more so where the author fears stepping on someone's overly sensitive holiday toes. Decorating magazines are the WORST with this. No, sweetheart your home does not look "festive"...it looks like a gang of teenagers vandalized…

To the OP: Well, no this is not a dating site, but people meet where people gather. If your logic were applied to the rest of the world, we would never be able to date anyone we met through work, or at the grocery store, or at the gym because those aren't "dating sites" either. Personally, I'm thankful that I am not…

I'm in Fredericksburg now, but grew up in northern VA and I still work in D.C. You're doing great, keep up the good work!

Blue Bloods is my only don't miss show. I also record The Good Wife, Big Bang Theory, NCIS, American Pickers, Top Shot and Fly Fishing Chronicles.

Great thread! 1) Being the woman in the office always huddled under a sweater instead of the chubby one turning up the A/C. 2) That, in the age of blackberries and iPods, flirting is as simple as making eye contact and smiliing. 3) Having natural fingernails I can tap on the counter....I've never had healthy nails before.…

Single and flirty.

I am writer/researcher/policy analyst for a national non-profit public policy organization. I also conduct podcast interviews that are posted on our website and on iTunes. My background is in radio/TV broadcasting/journalism. Oh, I also maintain and update our website and social media. I enjoy my job but miss the crazy fun…
