| I'm very happy--even proud--to be a "childless cat woman." From the time I was old enough to seriously contemplate becoming a parent, I knew myself well enough to know that I probably wouldn't want any, and was wise enough to know that bringing kids into the world "just because" ... |

| Karbonhalo could very well be onto something. However, we're still talking about the mango moron--and he really has lost his freaking mind. I believe it is just as likely that some of these babblings are just the most recent bouts of verbal diarrhea. Just a few weeks ago he spent the better part of ... |

| Congratulations! Setting a price limit is a good place to start/an important thing to keep in mind while you browse. Remember that you'll wear the dress ONCE. (I still have mine, after 29 years, hidden away somewhere, and I think I'll eventually donate it, now that it might be back in style.) Consid... |

He's angry about a small amount of clutter in your own personal space, he rejects the fact that you have an organic problem with organizing and remembering a few things, he refuses a perfectly logical and c... |

No...I prefer working with younger children because I think the older ones can be total brats! I love watching how... |

| They haven't - unless you think 50+ years still qualifies as a "craze" and thats in the most modern sense. Organized physical health has existed almost as long as humans have existed in some for or other. Quite true; for decades, the "craze" has focused on one or two styles of w... |

| In the U.S., a lot of it is genuinely about appearances--whether it's to attain that impossible figure you've seen on this star or that, or muscle bulk/definition, or to fit in with a certain clique that does all the trendy new workouts in the priciest attire. The fitness and weight loss industries ... |

| If a bumblebee lands on you, stroke it gently. It calms them down. Actually... Bees are more likely to sting if you get agitated. Of course you don't want to pet them, but being gentle is definitely the way to go. Start yelling and rushing around, and they'll sense the danger. Swat at them, trying ... |

It really depends on the individual and the circumstances, I think, just like anyone else in the world. KitLily, getting married and having kids might ch... |

| Thier failure to pronounce your name properly could be due to any number of factors: lack of respect or shared concern is one/two of them, but just one/two. It could be a group mentality thing--either consciously or sub-consciously, they mispronounce it the way others mispronounce it to follow their... |

Off-topic, but I'm curious: is "fit" a common term for "seizure" in some places (England, Australia, Canada, NZ)? |
