I think I probably own about 30. I wear about six of those pairs. The rest are bridesmaid shoes, winter boots (using 3 x per year doesn't make them 'worn'), and that sort of thing.

Dr Scholls makes inserts for heels. They work like a hot-damn.

Fabulous idea. I am SO going to be stealing it. I have two gorgeous jars fo it!

I watched Letters to Juliet yesterday. I sobbed. Three times.

Danke.

... ... W.o.w.

I love pizza. I would get bored if I had pizza every day.

You're missing a very strong point here- those of us who HAVE FWBs, are not just letting 'anyone' have access to us. We're selective, that's what the FWB is for... someone you know, and trust, with whom you can explore, have fun, have needs met, and then know you're safe with. I've never once had a one-night stand. Not…

Amen, Sister.

*snickers* Ohh this is a fun one. Human beings are made to procreate. LOVE, the chemicals in the brain that cause us to feel it, were created so that we would care for our offspring, and guard our families, in order to survive. Who said anything about promiscuity? Dollars to donuts I've had less lovers than many on this…

Mary Kay Foundation Primer. It's fricking awesome. I tried it and have since recruited every woman I know into using it. Just fantastic stuff.

I'd like to point out that a) you have a penchant for editing your posts. Say what you mean, the first time. b) Commenting on my situation with children - is not relevant. I grew up with a mother like you, which is largely what formed my beliefs (good luck!).

Have you ever tied your hair in rags? At night, after you wash your hair and it's still wet, take an old sheet or something, and cut it into strips about five inches long, about an inch wide. Then, as if you were putting curlers in, wrap your hair around the rag, and then tie the rag to keep it in place. When you wake up…

*smirks*

It is, has been for the 10.5 years we've been together.

Actually, I am. Quite happily.

To add to your comment about it being a practice for so long... monogamy is a recent concept, in comparison with how far back we can trace human history. I, and all of my FWBs, have respected ourselves and each other- how is it disrespectful to myself, to pursue the meeting of my needs? How is it showing a lack of self…

And I can respect your wishes on that... but looking down your nose at others for not believing as you is.... well. We will be judged as we judge.

1) I had a wonderful lunch with my CEO. 2) My sarcasm got to be let loose and just fly about! 3) I'm going to Curves!

FWB isn't exactly a 'newly created' concept. It's been in existence for millenia. And it was a widely accepted and participated-in practice. It is only since the encroachment of 'christian' beliefs, that practices such as these, which I believe to be quite natural and healthy, began to be persecuted against.

Who says it's 'settling'? A FWB doesn't preclude other relationships, nor does it act as a nail in the coffin. It's a relationship in which needs are met, fun is had, and the openness remains for each to have their own lives, without the complication of romance.

Oh, also? My obvious obesity is NOT an invitation for you to: 1) Give me diet advice. 2) Give me work-out advice. 3) Make pig noises, call me Shamu, tell me I'm eating a relative when I consume beef, or tell your wife that you two shouldn't join me in the elevator because I've already met the weight restriction. 4) Assume…

Alrighty, so... At one point in time (a couple months ago actually) I had a pierced nose, blue hair, and a visible tattoo (I have four tats, most are usually covered by shirts... and I've had 13 piercings, but don't tend to wear them anymore). I had A CLIENT come in, and go off on me about how I look like a punk, like I…

I've had a share of Bennies, and it tends to work alright for ME... the guys, however, usually end up wanting more, that I have been unable to give.

I suffer from severe psoriasis and dry skin, on various parts of my body. I also haev oily skin. What a pain. I use Mary Kay products. I've never had something work as well - and I'm allergic to everything else, so when I discovered Mary Kay, I fell in love with it.

Thanks for that- I thought I was nuts for being so irritated by that. :)

Not sure that this fits here, but pet peeve turn of phrase is: "New & Improved" .... if it's new, it can't be improved. If it's improved, it can't be new. Newly Improved is far more apt.

NSV = Non-Scale Victories (ie - you've learned to not crave crappy food) *bump* is used to push a topic thread higher in the list, so it gets more views.

I dig the chill out attitude, but I feel I must correct: The definition of Namaste (pronounced na, ma, stay) is both a physical gesture and a spoken spiritual salutation, which is the recognition of the divine spirit (or soul) in another by the divine spirit in you. The word Namaste translates simply to “I bow to the…
