Awful! He's one of my favourite actors. Poor man.

This one. Or about 500 years in the future. I can never understand why any would would answer the 50s. Especially not women.

I've made a ton of bread with it already, and added some to a cake. I didn't know you could freeze it, that'll take care of some more. Thanks.

I think there is, but it's up to her not to be offended by it. My husband never commented directly on my weight, but after having our second child he brought home trainers for me, and piles of size 10 UK running clothes that I couldn't get into. As they were samples I couldn't complain, but didn't use them. After a few…

That is similar to us. The secondary state schools are great, but the primaries are terrible, so most people I know send their children to private primary then state secondary.

And you have made such adorable children! They just made me go "Squeeeeee!"

I don't think you'll feel out of place at all, Australia is much more racially integrated than most of the US.

I would be very surprised if anyone even thought twice about it. It just isn't something noteworthy, is it? What does someone's race have to do with love?

Oh and for the record, we don't like doing housework any more than you do.

I agree with the people who say respect is a two way thing. EVery single thing any of the men here have said they want in a relationship - trust, space, freedom to make our own decisions, wanting to feel listened to and important - we women need all that too. I get the feeling reading these threads sometimes that men don't…

Hey, so am I

I'm afraid that just isn't true. I live in an extremely affluent area, and what that means is that everyone who can afford it sends their children to one of several private schools (all of which have the same non-negotiable hours), and the rest get dumped in second rate, massively over-crowded schools. The state primaries…

It was that thread that got me thinking, actually. I'm afraid I disagreed with it, because I don't think looking after yourself more generally leads you to become a better person. I think it often leads to self-absorption.

I went to private school, so it's what I know. I wouldn't want my children in the state system unless we lived somewhere with a tiny village school with about 6 children. I don't think there is any substitute for a class size of 12, which they have at the moment. Except homeschooling, but my husband is completely against…

Private school in the UK. They don't have those hours yet, at the moment it's 8am - 4pm, Mon-Fri, which is fine, but next year it's 8am-6pm 6 days a week, and I didn't have children to let them be brought up by an institution, no matter how good the educational standard.

Thanks. This seems to be in line with the information he's been given, but so much seems to be down to the individual reaction to them.

Read above!

I have gone a bit past making little changes. I want to move. I want a completely different lifestyle and a different childhood for my children. I don't want them in full time school, and I want land for them to be able to roam, and have proper childhoods, not cooped up in a small house with a small garden next to a busy…

It's not for me. It's for a relative who has to take heavy doses for a lung condition. Which is why I am asking generally rather than in a forum specifically for people who want to take them.

I was overweight as a child, but thinned out in my teens and by 17 was underweight. Then gradually put it back on through my 20s. I have never been properly overweight as an adult, but was borderline for a few of years while pregnant and breastfeeding.

I've just done that test and apparently I am a ENTP, though I was only into the extroverted area by 1%, so just as I thought. I read the description of ENTP and it is scarily accurate.

I come out a total mix on there.

I am a weird mixture. I don't like crowds, I am much better one on one than in group situations, and I find small talk quite hard, but I am a performer. I love singing, I love showing off and I love the attention I get from it. But I also find it terrifying. I guess I get a bit of a buzz from the fear itself.

He won't be gaining muscle on 1650 cals a day minus exercise. From your profile I am guessing you are male, in which case it sounds like you aren't eating enough. I don't believe in starvation mode as such, but you have probably slowed down all your motor functions to compensate for the lack of fuel. Try eating a bit more…

Crazy person. We are designed to eat fruit and vegetables. Seriously. The only other animals that don't produce vitamin C are frugivores. There is no such thing as too many vegetables. Unless they are okra. Those slimy little things can bog off.

I burned 125 cals in an hour of Zumba. Total waste of time for me.

What annoys me is that it is listed as a natural food colouring, when it is produced by a horribly chemical process and causes massive behavioural problems in children. It makes my son really ill.

This is why I have never eaten pop tarts. Being vegetarian is good for so many things!

Just say no. No one can bully you into eating something you don't want to. What you eat is up to you and you alone.

I don't think so, no. At 18 I was doing 2 hours of rowing a day plus about an hour of walking.
