| The Lounge | But Horseback Riding Is So Easy. | Apr 14 2009 15:27 (UTC) |
24 |
Wow - surprisingly hot thread. If this can happen on horse back, it ain't easy. Try running a horse top speed and turning in a 10 foot radius at the same time, and tell me it's not hard. By the way, that is my daughter, on her way to what was probably be a record time for her. The horse just ducked the #5 pole instead of passing it, then she lost her stirrup, and so when the mare made the right turn, no support to keep her on. |

| Weight Loss | Predict my dress size if I lost weight! | Apr 14 2009 14:10 (UTC) |

Hmm - well I'm 5'7" and started at 214 lbs, I was a 20 or 22 top (I'm top heavy) and a 20 bottom, so I guess you were lucky being a smaller size than me. You must have a smaller frame. Right now I'm 165 and wearing a large/XL top (again, the boobs) and a size 10 jean. So for you, with your goal being 10 less than what I am now, and seemingly smaller to begin with, I would guess a size 6-8. |

Venus figures date back to the Stone Age. It goes to reason that they could not have been sculpted without having seen what an obese woman looks like. I have read it theorized that obese women were a sign of wealth and status, being an indicator that the men in the womens' clan were such successful hunters/gatherers/traders that the women did not have to do anything except eat the plentiful food and have lots and lots of babies. |

I'd been missing spirochete, she was unusually quiet for a while. Glad to see she's been around a bit more the last week or so. Though she's been a bit "tamer" than usual? I miss her tell it like it is posts and her rants... |

| Weight Loss | What are some good detox diets? or good diet pills? | Mar 24 2009 17:29 (UTC) |

In answer to your pill question: FDA warnings about life threatening ingredients - names are named in this report: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28355841/ Secondly, seriously, according to your profile you are 5'9" and your goal is 100 lbs??? You indicated you have previously had disordered eating, and problems with pills. I think that you probably still do. That is an extremely unhealthy goal for your height. You are not going to find a lot of support on here with those kinds of goals and questions about pills and detoxes. I hope you rethink your goal, and good luck to you. |

| Health & Support | bumps on skin following sun exposure | Mar 20 2009 17:49 (UTC) |

I know I'm late to the party, but I concur it is (was) probably a mild sun allergy. My poor daughter goes thru it the first time she gets major sun exposure every year. She now takes benadryl prior to the exposure, and of course we use a 50 spf sunscreen on her. Good timing to remind me to be prepared though, thanks - our first horse show is tomorrow and it's supposed to be 78 and sunny all day. |

| The Lounge | Dumb Question? DSL without paying for a landline? | Mar 19 2009 17:19 (UTC) |
1 |
Were out in the boonies, no cable option available unfortunately, or that's what I'd do. I already have the DSL (the $34 version - I tried the $19 "Lite" let your freind know it wasn't much faster than dialup - the only benefit is using the phone while on the internet). I just wanted to know if anyone's done it. I'm afraid that if I call them they may not exactly tell the truth. In my prior experience cleaning up my mom's bills they suckered her into, I've found phone telephone company reps to be just as bad as a used car dealer. Thanks though. |

| Weight Loss | Yellow Pee | Mar 18 2009 20:08 (UTC) |

Wiki Answers says high levels of vitamin C and high levels of betacarotene can cause yellow pee (and yes, so can asparagus) However is your pee also cloudy? That can be a sign of a mild UTI that may not be symptomatic. |

Finally popped into this thread, and when I saw "border colie + apartment" all I thought was As a former BC rescue foster mom, I highly suggest giving him up. BCs need soooo much more than you can give. Heck, they were more than even I could handle living on 2 acres with various farm animals to keep them entertained. Here's a BC rescue in your area. Call them, they may be able to help (even if it's only to give you some ideas) DFW Collie Rescue |

| Weight Loss | So this whole calories thing... | Mar 17 2009 19:47 (UTC) |

Your #s sound really good to me. So many other reasons you could have not lost - nearing TTOM, a little too much sodium causing water retention, or if you just recently added in the exercise your muscles retain water at when they repair themselves (anytime you are sore). Just hang in there! |

Original Post by pgeorgian: I read an article on CNN.com that the used car market is sooo hot right now that dealers are actually calling back people who just bought vehicles within the last 2 years that (through maintenance records) they know still had low mileage and were offering them virtually even trades on new cars, like less than $1000 out of pocket to trade their old one for a new model. So if your Mazda's still in good shape, you may get a better deal to trade it in than to buy it out. It's a good idea to do your homework now than so when you get to the dealer and they make you an offer, you'll know if it's a deal you just can't refuse. |

I have a Chrysler PT Cruiser, and I can easily fit a Great Dane in the hatch with the rear seats up (even 2 if its a real short trip), or 2 Great Danes and a Border Collie with the rear seats folded down. Did that moving across country 1800 miles and they were all comfy. The passenger seating is REALLY roomy. My hubby is 6'1 and can comfortably sit in the rear seat. It averages 20mpg city, 27mpg hwy. I have 98000 miles on it and it has never been in the shop for non-maintenance repairs, except for a new shifter cable and that was very recently. |

My family's party fave: Take 8 oz of cream cheese let get to room temp, and beat in one jar of marshmallow fluff (cream). Refrigerate Makes an AWESOME fruit dip, especially for strawberries (which here in Louisiana at least, are in season - we're having for my daughters Bday this weekend!) |

At the beach, anything goes - at your weight you may actually be one of the slimmer ones in a bikini. We used to practically live at the beach all summer in Corona del Mar, and believe me, there were always lots of ladies who really shouldn't have been wearing bikinis wearing them. No one will look twice at you (except in a good way I hope! HAVE FUN - wish I could go (grumbles about living in dumb-as* Louisiana now instead of my beloved SoCal). |

I like a lot of the games at deadwhale.com especially Globs and AddUp. Other games I play a lot (if you like word games) are Text Twist, Bookworm, Hangaroo. You can google them, as several sites have versions. Just go to miniclip.com or popcap.com - you're sure to find SOMETHING you'll get addicted to! |

I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but some cats just WON'T use the litter box (I've owned 3 of at least 30 since I was a kid who were this way). After ruling out UTIs and worms on all of them, last resort we had with all of them is to kick their a**es out of the house. I know you said she's old, so I know that's not an option for you. Like a prior poster said, she may just have to be locked up in one room (preferably with non-carpeted floors!) 99% of the time. If she's as lazy as you say, she probably won't even mind, as long as she gets a fair share of attention. Also to add - you do have at least 2 litter boxes don't you? Some cats refuse to share... |
