I have done this 4 times!

I moved alone from MA to FL to go to art school ... a year later I dropped out of art school and I moved from FL to New Orleans alone. I lived in New Orleans for two years and left after Katrina and movedto Miami for a few months with my fiance (at the time my parents lived there because my father was on a 2 year assignment), we decided to move back to MA and left 2 days after our wedding. My dad's assignment ended 6 months later and my parents moved back to MA, the whole family was back in MA...and my husband and I moved to Texas!

I hate being away from my family. I liked it when I was younger but now that my neice and nephew are growing up and my whole family is in one state my heart literally aches when I talk to them on the phone. Everytime I have moved except for this most recent move to Texas I have been able to deal with it by trying to keep myself busy with work or school. Also I have always been able to make friends in the new places that I have moved to but here that hasn't happened.

We're moving back in about 4 months, though.

Haha, and it wasn't even criticism about all cops, it was personal experiences and one comment that I think "bad apples" seek out jobs that put them in a position of authority... this could mean cops or frigging librarians!

 It sucks that your view on police men hasn't been the greatest. I'm sorry. I just hope that you can get a better experience because their occupation isn't just for power hungry buttholes, theres tons of great officers out there.

I really do agree with you!

I lol'd IRL. These are the fine upstanding citizens I am meant to respect then? Way to overreact to a little criticism about your chosen profession.

Edit: yes I know I said I would stay away, but seriously, how could I not respond?

23 was a big year for me! It's when I started to actually feel like an adult. I was living in New Orleans and Katrina hit, it actually took something like that for me to realize that I am not invincible!  On a good note though, I got married at 23... I turned 24 less than 2 weeks later, though hehe.

I dunno dude, as I've gotten older and my life has changed I haven't really bothered myself with other people too much. I have two very good friends, one whom I pretty much feel like/act like is family and the other I am very close with but not as close... I have other friends who I socialize with, but honestly I prefer to keep to my small trusted circle (not to say I'm not open to making new friends). I am a very friendly person and can have a conversation with pretty much anyone, but I just prefer to keep people on an "acquaintance" level most of the time... less drama that way.

I laughed a little at all the protein comments... whole wheat pasta has a lot of protein itself!

I like to buy the elbow kind and eat it with onion, garlic, tomato, eggplant, green and red bell pepper, tomato sauce, and nutritional yeast. Mmmm. When I was little my dad used to give us a slice of bread with peanut butter whenever we had Italian food... it's actually a really good combo of flavors!

Is that like the magical toffee tree in Narnia?:)

i am ABSOLUTELY AGAINST abortion and i support whatever way of protest. I understand you were disturbed by the pictures, but truth is people have to start accepting the reality. Its the same thing with pictures of people in really poor conditions in Africa, or of the war in Irak ... not wanting to see the fact that it exists doesnt make it go away.

Plus, how can anyone be pro-abortion but say those pictures are disturbing? The pictures are exactly what you're supporting by accepting abortions.

It can be difficult to make something that adheres to your dietary needs and yet is satisfying to everyone else who may not care the least about calories! And let's face it, turkey and ham are over done and rather predictable. Cooking Light is my friend! Great monthly publication with a HUGE recipe database online!

By "main dish" I assume you're looking for a meat type dish rather than side type dishes like potatoes and veggies? And without knowing your dietary requirements such as no beef, all vegan, etc....I'd suggest this one, which is what I'm making for my family this year. Pear and Cranberry Stuffed Pork Tenderloin. At only 171 calories per slice, this main dish meets my dietary requirements and everyone else will enjoy as well. It's also beautiful! I will have many sides to choose from for everyone. I will opt for the green salad and perhaps some mashed potatoes made with fat free cream cheese and spices whipped in. http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinde r.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1536 774

You posted this in the vegetarian forum.

When my Pepé had to stop drinking in his late 90's he always used to go "I think I feel a cold coming on" every night as an excuse to take a shot of NyQuil. Hehe.

And to be on topic... I don't take cold medicine anymore (it's all tested on animals), but when I did NyQuil and DayQuil were the WORST.

Sad news...

Best-selling fantasy author Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzheimer's, he said in a message posted to his illustrator's Web site.

In a brief note to fans entitled "An Embuggerance," Pratchett, 59, said he was taking the news "fairly philosophically" and "possibly with a mild optimism."
