| Have you thought about doing something like yoga? While it's not intense exercising, it helps with making you feel less sendentary and it could help you relax and not feel so fidgety. How about talking to a personal trainer and/or a nutritionist with you parents on what kind of exercising you can do that will help with building muscle and not cause you to lose weight. I would also talk to your normal physician and see what they say. Taking your mom and/or dad with you could help them see that you're not doing it to go back to your old ways, but that you're doing it to get healthy. | |||

| In a movie/my best friend's house....
My two very best friends A and D are dating each other (finally!). A few days before New Years this past Decemeber, A was out of town, so D myself and another girl we are friends with went to see a movie. For about a month D had been talking about his best friend from middle school, high school and some of college, M, that was coming home on leave for the holidays. He'd joined the Air Force back in 2005 and had been stationed in Japan since. D talked so much about this guy that I got tired of hearing about him and actually told him to shut up once haha Well we decided to go see a late movie and while we were waiting for it to start, in walks D's friend (completely by coincidence....I live in a huge city) with his brother and some other friends. We were introduced briefly, and after the movie was over we all stood outside the theater talking for a minute. I had NO interest in this guy at all because I was exhausted from work and was going through one of my "I don't date" phases because I'd been burned pretty bad several months back. Plus I just wasn't really looking for anyone. I'd met a lot of guys when I moved to Florida, and none of them had sparked a bit of interest. Well a few days later I was hanging out with A and another friend...shopping, lunch...you know girl stuff. We decided to go back to A's place to smoke hookah and make pizza and just hang out. D called and decided to come over, and was going to bring M. We all ended up hanging out and having a really good time. We had my iPod playing and M kept complimenting my music taste A LOT (he is HUGE into music) but since we had all been drinking, I didn't think anything of it. D ended up giving me and M a ride home since we all three lived within a few miles of each other. The whole way home M was trying to (drunkenly) convince me to go see this band play the next night and I kept saying Id think about....he and D had been talking about it earlier and I figured he was just being nice and asking me cause I was in the car...I figured it was going to be a 'guy thing.' As soon as I got home, I had texts from both A and D asking what I thought of M....apparently everytime I left the room that night he kept asking questions about me and saying how he thought I was really cool and cute. I typically date guys who are more forward in that respect, so I wasn't convinced. After a few more nights of hanging out (and him not saying a word to me, but asking others about me when I left the room haha) he finally asked me out. We went out every night until he left to return back to Japan. He came back to Florida a week or so later for a month on a temporary assignment at an Air Force base about 5 hours away from me. I went and saw him a few times, and after the first time, we decided to make it official. He's back in Japan now, which some people think is kind of weird. We are dating after only knowing one another for a short time and we don't even know when the next time is we will see each other. He's getting stationed elsewhere in August but still doesn't know where...not even if he will be in the states. But it works for us. I'm a very independent person when it comes to relationships and I crave space. We talk on the phone, instant message and web cams. He makes me laugh and we never run out of stuff to say. It sucks not having him here sometimes, but it's good. |

| Yeah! It's a lot of fun to work there. I do customer service so I'm not too much in with making the arrangements. It's fun but tempting....they are franchises so all the arrangements and everthing are done in the store where you order to. Just imagine working 2pm-6pm after a long day of class and knowing there is a chocolate warmer full of dark chocolate just waiting for you to dip a strawberry...or 3...haha | |||

| Ever heard of Edible Arrangements? I work for them...it's company that creates arrangements made up of cut fruit and chocolate (but that's optional). They are really gorgeous and I've had a lot of people call saying they are using them as alternatives to birthday cake. They can be a bit on the expensive side, but if everyone at your workplace pitched in a few dollars every time, youd be fine! Check them out ediblearrangements.com! | |||

| Me too! I wanted to eat so bad...pizza, chips, a sandwich, ANYTHING solid. I just couldn't cause I couldn't get my mouth open enough or chew. Even now, I'm still swollen and a little sore so chewing is difficult and it takes FOREVER for me to eat some solid. I got chicken caesar salad for lunch today and ended up eating only the chicken because it took forever and and I couldn't chew the salad! However the slow eating has been helping me realize when I'm full so I don't overeat...guess theres a healthy upside right? |

| The Lounge | calling all hair stylists!!! | Aug 27 2007 20:37 (UTC) |

| curses_to_anathema is right, a toner will help if you have orange tones in your hair. You would need a blue based toner. Problem is that if your hair is already really damaged, it will soak up the tone very quickly. Toners are meant to be used under close watch and only left on the hair for a MAX of 10 minutes. If your hair is very damaged or you let it go too long, you could end up with a muddy green color instead of blonde. Also 40 volume is the highest developer (that I know of) you can get...using that on your hair will destroy it farther. I know it sucks not having your hair the color you like but please please PLEASE just wait and have your stylist do it! |

| Trust that this a normal 15 year old "I want to be cool and my mom isn't cool" tantrum. I'm 21 and definitely remember those times. My mom used to be smaller than she is now and then (when I was 13,14,15) I wouldn't have dreamed of even touching her clothes. She's boxed up a lot of her clothes from those days as she can't fit them but is hoping to again someday. I often find myself rummaging through those boxes for something to wear :) Just grin and bear it...and maybe do the shopping thing too but like others said, if she's planning on losing more weight, I'd just get her a few things. |

| Crunchy hair isn't your biggest worry How about NO hair?? As a stylist, I would say you NEED to give your hair time to recover! If you don't you can end up with what we call a "chemical cut." Basically your hair will get so dry and damaged that it will begin breaking and falling out. You eventually will have to get your hair cut....and depending on the length of your hair and where the damaged hair ends and the healthy hair begins, you may end up with a VERY short haircut. A friend of mine tried to change her elbow length black hair to platinum blonde in a week. She now has a chin length bob. Listen to your stylist...she/he knows what they are talking about. If they tell you to wait a month even, you should. You'll be much happier with the results. Warm browns and reds can be the hardest colors to get out, so letting it fade some will give you a better chance of successfully highlighting the next time around Besides, if you decide to do it sooner, they can and will not be held responsible for what damage it could cause, especially if they warned you not to in the first place. |

| The Lounge | I can't believe how angry people get when they can't choose their cookie. | Aug 25 2007 09:36 (UTC) |

| To MoodyMomma and everyone else who questioned it. From the orginal post: "and with these sandwhiches you get a house choice cookie, which means we choose which cookie the customer gets (it even says this on the menu). " The OP clearly says in the second paragraph that this policy is on the menu. Start reading the ENTIRE post before you bitch about it. Would you complain if someone gave you a free car that was green but you hate green? It's freaking FREE! You are all probably one of the people who would happily go in and complain about your FREE cookie. If it's that big a deal, pay $2 and buy a whole DOZEN at your local bakery or grocery store. Get over yourselves. |

| I have a little sister who is three.
She takes the saying that you can be anything you want to be very literal. One night we were sitting on the couch and she looked at me, very seriously, not a hint of a smile and said.... "Sissy, when you grow up, would you rather be a fire engine or spaghetti?" All I could was burst into laughter. |

| I also saw a good suggestion someone left on another thread about significant others leaving. They said try planning a great comeback gift for him! You've got 2 whole months to excercise and and what not. Think of how much he'll want to...ahem...be with you when he sees you with hot new bod! | |||

| Wow that really sucks that he's leaving! Do you have close friends/family members that know you're trying to lose weight? Let them know whats going on and ask if they can help keep you occupied! Get a friend to join a fun work-out class like yoga or something. Remember that excercise releases endorphins which makes you feel better emotionally! I was so sad when I had to leave my friends and move to Florida and live with Mom and Dad again, but I started exercising and feeling a heck of a lot better! | |||

| pygirl----have you checked sites like Orbitz.com, Expedia.com, or Travelocity.com? I just purchased roundtrip tickets from Jacksonville, FL to Raleigh, NC for $156 (that included taxes!) from Expedia. Im leaving July 5th (technically a holiday weekend because of Independence Day) and I just booked the flight last night! When I checked about a month ago the tix were only $80 roundtrip! | |||

| If you can afford it, get a tempurpedic mattress (the memory foam ones). I have never slept better or more soundly in my life. They are kind of expensive but there are several memory foam mattress brands out there that are cheaper but just as good. | |||
