it's hard to know where to start, but:
spjesq, what on earth makes you equate anti-Bush sensibilities with elitism? why does anything have to be about winning or losing? why war? why do you equate middle america with ill-informed idiots? i don't. i'm talking about geography. and why is any of this about winning or losing? we're all losing. if anyone here thinks you're winning, you're deluded. even those of you who make a lot of money, you're not winning, because you're in the same freaking leaky boat that we're all in. |

i'm not attacking people. i'm attacking ideas. if you feel attacked, maybe it's because you're afraid i'm right.
i'm getting out of here, though. good luck to all of you. |

i have a theory about why bush was re-elected. it's not flattering to middle america, so i'll apologize right up front.
i think bush's first election was such a huge mistake that voters spent the next four years trying to rationalize why it wasn't so bad. and his choices were so offensive that people who didn't vote for him had to rationalize, too. instead of admitting that 9-11 was the direct result of american foreign policy, unsophisticated voters were happy to blame al qaeda (or--really--anyone brownish). it's a whole lot easier to see yourself and your neighbours (and your president) as right and good rather than consider the possibility that you f***ed up. |

it sounds like you've arrived at that moment when you realize that losing weight doesn't change who you are.
i had a moment like that about three years ago. i'd spend several weeks painting my house (interior). when i finished, i cleaned up, then sat down to look around, expecting to feel some sense of satisfaction. instead, i found myself thinking, "okay, the walls are a different colour." i realized that i hadn't actually changed anything. it was all cosmetic. then i realized that i had done it for someone else, because i was going to sell my house and go back to school. i kept working on the house after that, but with a different purpose (and it sold as soon as it was on the market: three showings, three offers in two days - two of them over list). i suggest that you take some time to think about what you want out of life, then set some short and long-term goals that aren't about weight. |

| yeah, he's also more than a little infectious. we have a prime minister who's so concerned with keeping on george w's good side economically, he's adopting his political policies. | |||

you need to find somewhere else to put your mental energy. this isn't healthy at all. stop weighing yourself, stop counting calories. don't let this take over your life!
do you have hobbies and interests? get out with your friends and play! |

some days i feel like a dog regardless. luckily, i usually forget about it as soon as i walk away from the mirror.
speaking of, does anyone else hate getting your hair cut because you have to stare at your own face for so long? |

there is definitely such a thing as "too nice." i'm a very independent woman. i like that i can do things for myself. when a man tries to "help" me with things i do by myself all the time, i'm offended (especially if i've already said that i can handle it).
i like a man who can challenge me intellectually. and when i say "challenge" i mean argue. i don't want to be around someone who's going to patronize me or cave in to me. and in all my relationships, i want to learn something from the other person. |

i always weigh myself in a tee shirt and underwear. if i'm wearing a tank top instead, i will change. if i'm naked, i will hold the tee shirt and underwear or add them in after (they weigh .8 of a pound - yes, i'm that compulsive).
crazy. |
