redundant

Please let this work. Yes!

I was always big on purchasing second-hand, but the bedbug concern has really killed it for me. I question how well the used goods stores inspect. *off to google*

I agree with you and add the lack of quality inspection of processing/materials such as lead, especially in products for children. [Jez had a story about toxic jewelry manufactured in china, which is not regulated} recently].

I wish I could remember the title or, at least, the author of the short story (poem?). I think it was in the New Yorker.

Jeeze, I just posted that on Crosstalk. Miss you, babe~!

Heh, I speak for myself. More of a struggle when I was younger. I blame my family.

Well, after many, many years, I got back together with an ex who I dated all through university. Same situation back then: we were young, going to marry, a done deal. Thing is, he was cheating before....and I also did. We owned up to our humanity. There was something ab out telling the TRUTH. Without truth, there can…

@Froufrou: Exactly. Since when don't teens act silly/test the markers? Really? New in France? French people, respond!

Who is really surprised here? All caps? Yes, it's America. Why is is so werid that I'm thinking Sam Ronson [because of her sudden show-up] is probably only one of the few people who really care?

My dream has been to make a cul-de-sac at Burning Man. But I won't go.

@Maave: @Maave: I know security people who are kind of like dolphins, only they care about money are are much less intelligent in many ways.

Thank you for posting a pic of a bathing suit that pretty much any woman could wear...and look lovely. Of course, the China thing...hopefully no lead or other toxic stuff.

@mainesqueeze: It is all about the preparation. Plus, constant supervision. Hello rescue.

In my book, she is much more than any illness or her public image. Just getting out there and being a public figure for bipolar, general insanity, intensity, commmunication and drug experimentation makes her a heroine in my book.

Maybe my move Upstate is right for opening a rehab catering to the rich and famous. I've got hi-def, wireless, cable and they can go jump into the river if they don't like it.

@KaliMama (Ganesha is my Om boy): I get it. He is saving marriages, right? No! Redefining marriage as a business venture with the rules of business.

@Lymed no like Scalia: Point taken, but I did say I could be wrong in some cases. Just want to put a word in for the "allomother." I know many women who look younger than their years without a holier-than-thou attitude or fanatic attempts to do so and respect them (of course).

@Aquarianmind: ai,someone's going to have a major crisis when s/he gets older.
