I find this very disturbing, Girls, do you really want to look like a skeleton?

recycledgoth @recycledgoth (9894) 29 Mar 07

I read a rather worrying article this morning that said, based on a survey of 5000 women. '97% of women think that size 12 is fat' and that '58% think that men find size zero attractive' This is very disturbing and serious issue...

SouthernRain I don't think that weight is a big issue with most people. If it was, there wouldn't be such a high percentage of obese people in the US right now. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with being a size zero. Jessica Alba is a size zero and she's hot for...

New dog has to go

jchampany @jchampany (1130) • United States 13 Mar 07

I have to take the new dog we got about 3 weeks ago back to the animal shelter. She is just destroying my house and terrorizing my kids. She's a sweet dog. When I say terrorizing I mean she wants to play with them but knocks them...

SouthernRain Please don't be down on yourself for not being ready for the dog. Maybe instead of the animal shelter, you could find an adoption only place or find someone who wants a dog. Vets are excellent places to post a picture. For clarification, you have got to...

SouthernRain A great site to start with is www.bhphotovideo.com. I have found that when buying new equipment, they are the most reasonable. You can compare their prices to other places and see that the better deal is there. They sell kits that come with the body, a lens...

Do childless couples downgrade you for having kids?

madtownsweety @madtownsweety (418) • United States 28 Feb 07

SouthernRain The simply do not know what they are missing. They also probably want kids but thus far, have not come far enough in their life plan to be blessed with children. It sounds like they are really selfish and I would guess that's why they don't have any kids. Of...

SouthernRain I would say she needs more than one instance on a staticky phone to be convinced he's cheating. It might not have been him, only someone who sounded like him, unless of course the caller id was working properly. She should be able to tell when he comes home...

SouthernRain My son did this at about the same age. It is something that you just have to answer the best you can and let it go. I always said that if my child is old enough to ask, then he's old enough to get the truth from me. My son fretted over this from time to time...
