Reese Witherspoon is a female example. She was in "Legally Blond" and then in "Walk the Line."

Whew! That is an entire area of specialty within community planning. I think dissertations have been written on the subject lol My area of specialty is rural type planning, so I will pass. This should be a very interesting discussion. Just to double check, when you said "lost cost" did...

Zaika, that is a very interesting view on tipping, that I hadn't ever thought of before. Food for thought, hehe

Perhaps the information I was given from the places I worked was off, then, which is highly possible. I haven't ever heard that 10% is the minimum, I always heard 15%. I apologize if the information I shared was off. I only worked as a server a couple of summers in college, so I am not an...

This is :offtopic: This is a plea to people to please remember your wait staff work for tips, that is the primary way they earn their money. Even if you have had poor service, please don't ever stiff the wait staff. Talk to a manager and get a free meal. And if the kitchen is slow getting...

I am sorry for the loss of someone so dear to you. Your words were beautiful and touching, thank you for sharing your memories of such a special man with us. You do him honor.

What a funny topic. When I went from a size 8 to a size 10, I decided to get rid of all my 8's. I was happy with my weight gain, and decided to keep my new size. I donated all my 8's to Goodwill, including my jeans. Of course, the jeans from HS were 6's, I was an adolescent stick!

I'm sorry to hear that! I was given such a hard time about my height that I decided it was something to be proud of, so I stood tall and wore heels :) It was a great way to weed out guys. If they weren't self confidant enough to date a tall girl, then they weren't worth my time. I actually...

Didn't she have like, 20 husbands? lol Which one?

I wear a lot of classic, wide leg pants in the winter. Under pants and with ankle length skits, I often wear footless tights, as my office is usually chilly. I bought them in dance supply stores, but it is handy that they have been "fashionable" lately. They are also great for under my wool...

Bonnie - thanks for that :) As hard as I try not to get caught up in materialism and consumerism, it still gets me sometimes. This whole industry geared toward infants and the high end, expensive, designer baby gear and furniture bombards a new mom from every magazine. Its hard to remain...

Bella - you are stunning, truly! You look amazing! Fleur - you seem to have a similar face shape to Bella's, so I think that style would look quite becoming on you! Lyburnum - your pincurls were adorable! Other ladies will probably know better, but I think setting lotion would help.

ldmax, thank you very much. That was an incredibly kind thing to say, and it meant the world to me.

Miss Dottie - thanks for the compliment on the sweater! I have seen your blog, and the baby sweaters you do are just beautiful! I am very flattered :o To the other ladies, thank you very much! You made my day :) Lolita, you created another stunner, no big surprise! You look adorable...

Miss Dottie, I do hope you will be doing your baby knitting, too! I know it has been a long road for you as well. I can relate to how hard each month must be, I hope that what ever has been standing in your way gets a move on soon! I actually don't have a nursery ::sigh:: We live in a small...
