    Sleepless nights...

    Relax, ladies! It's all good.....easier said than done, I know. The surgery is a breeze with very little pain (only some minor discomfort). It'll be over before you know it and you'll both be on the road to skinnyville, LOL.

    It's an exciting time for you, Honey! Welcome!

    People are just MISERABLE.

    Yeah, the "Southern candles" are much more reasonably priced.....but that may be because they are simply a wick buried in a mason jar full of crisco. BTW, the appeal of bacon-scented candles cannot be underestimated.

    How I met your mother is one of the best-written shows on network TV. And Barney Stinson is my hero.
  7. Who stands to millions? Bush? Big Oil? I don't get exactly what you're saying (besides bashing Bush......whom I believe killed the electric car). But let's be fair. Clinton / Gore didn't exactly bust ass to wean us off oil, either. Neither did Bush Sr, Reagan, or Carter. Hopefully one candidate will step up and divulge a plan to wean us off fossil fuels (and not one o' those 50 year plans, either.).

    I hate it when people post just to post.....

    Are you thinking about "It's time for a sexy party"? Family Guy freakin' rocks.

    Froggi, that sounded oddly foreign. "It's time to make sexy disco".

    well......."Sybil" sounds a little too much like "civil".....and I don't want to be "held back" by the man! J/K (I realized this might be better suited on the post just to post thread).

    Obama forgets to salute flag...........

    Yeah, Rush Limbaugh & Ann Coulter = Keith Olbermann & Randi Rhodes. They folks that are extreme are freaks. BTW, McCain isn't refusing educational benefits for the troops. His proposal gives full benefits for a soldier that has 3 years of service and has seen combat. Other military (non-combatant jobs) would have benefits graded to years of service. LaurenWhite......Are you seriously scolding McCain for taking money from the republicans?? Who backed out of the "Public funding Pledge"??

    It's the elderly! They'll steal ya blind!!
  13. BJean, that's true. You aren't writing to convince me. And I respect your political choices....that's what makes America great. My point was, if you don't have some supporting facts, and paint your opinion in the vaguest strokes, then the arguement is weakened. I'm aware that some people won't even look at facts in elections. Some vote straight party lines...some vote whatever pecularity strikes them (ie, Obama is handsome, McCain served in Vietnam, ect). So please don't take things personally. I wasn't trying to pick on you as much as play devil's advocate. On a totally different note, I heard McCain is favoring a contest to improve the electric car battery, and also wants to give a $5000 tax credit to anybody that buys a hybrid. Finally, somebody in Washington may be starting to get it. Also, that Obama seal thing is for real. I heard on the news tonight that many people complained that it was too similar to the presidential seal, so Obama's people say they're gonna scrap it (which, BTW, I wouldn't consider a flip-flop).
  14. Just my $.02 chickie....I think that many people struggle with the band, or lose more slowly than they could, because they have never learned the difference between physiological hunger and head hunger. The band works great for helping with physiological hunger, but doesn't do anything for head hunger. Example: An emotional eater might crave Snacks during times of stress. Is he eating because he is hungry? Nope. Therefore the band would do very little to stop him from eating when he shouldn't. There is restriction....but counting solely on the band to prevent you from overeating instead of using common sense is akin to counting on your seatbelt instead of using your brakes.

    Obama forgets to salute flag...........

    Flag code says people should place their hand over their heart when the anthem is played (excepted from this are uniformed military personnel). Go to any sporting event. As soon as the anthem is played, hands cover hearts and hats come off. Now do I believe Obama was deliberately thumbing his nose at the tradition? Nope. Likely he was distracted (I mean...the dude's running for prez...he has to have some things on his mind), but the picture is kinda hard to defend.

    This thread is going to be sooo inappropriate!

    My general rule for soaps: The harsher, the better. I'm thinking of switching to Lava (or is this reference male specific).

    I'd be ok with "Susan", if it would make the angry face go away.
  21. Wow....specific. BJean, this is propaganda. If you assert something, be prepared to back it up. I'll give you an Obama flop, and you give me a McCain flop. To start things off: The Public election funding flop. BTW, I've not ruled out voting for Obama. I really am voting energy (unless a bigger issue pops up). My whole point here is that I'm tired of people (right and left wingers) posting vague propagandist crap and not being able to support it.

    Hi Everyone!

    Hi and welcome! Glad you're doing great!
  24. People! Quit mocking this product!! If it comes from the ulta-prestigious Smell and Taste Treatment Center it's obviously no joke.:rolleyes2: I don't know for sure, but I suspect the "smell and taste treatment center" may be the spare bedroom of some dude's house. Until I see the published study, Ima be skeptical.
  25. I take it you're voting "democrat"......what? I'm kidding!! Hello? Hellooooo......
