Thank you so much and also for your OP :)

thank you! could explain a lot about menopause :-P

thank you!!

Is it possible to lose this kind of fat some other way - and is this the same as the so-called"brown fat"?

The fact that it now seems normal to throw away ten of your potentially most useful years - useful TO YOU in making YOUR dreams come true - just makes me sad. People listen up: if you spend 20-29 "becoming the person you are meant to be" then you will spend 30-70 working for the people who spent 20-29 getting it…

Actually Matt Damon lost a lot of weight for The incredible Mr. Ripley and later said his doctor forbid him from doing that ever again. I am sure studios put a lot of pressure on them to do this - I call BS on Zellweger's "infinitesimal part of the characterization" line.

I do think Enlightend is a great show, and I want everyone to start watching so we can talk about it, and let's start with this: I have an entirely different read of Amy, I think she is very, very evil and the kind of self-absorbed that hurts others very, very badly.

Although this wasn't my favorite episode of 'Girls,' I don't think it boils down to who deserves whom. Without being an out and out 'fantasy' episode - I'm sure it actually happened - it is an episode where each character has a separate fantasy experience: Hannah, that the things in the house are hers; and Joshua,…

Tracy, I hear what you are trying to say but the bottom line is that there is a difference between kids running around with the parents saying "Shh! Stop that!" and eventually taking them out if they won't, and running around with the parents nomming or saying "Kids will be kids." There is a universe of "family"…

I know everyone is giving you sane and conservative advice, but let me say this: you are already being very wise by avoiding debt, so that being said, DO pursue what you love as long as you have a concrete back up plan. Why not start investing? You can even with very small sums. If you love music, and get and…

Not nuts - sounds like The Nation of Islam - an American sect.

Koch was gay and he may not have been a perfect mayor but he was the face of New York for a long time and he didn't make it a Disney tourist location like Guiliani did. He was the last mayor of the real New York. Corrupt administration? Grow the eff up! This is New York, gimme a break.

She is talking only about *child* actors who haven't had time for years of learning a craft. That is her point - children, by virtue of not having been alive, have generally not had years of training to bring off the performances they do. Everyone else - yes, you can train into it, but she's not talking about them. …

Wow, so it turns out people really can talk out of their asses! I wasn't sure!

Do I think she cried? No, I think she probably threw up, like she seems to be doing all the time these days :)

Neither statement makes you sound like a rational, well-informed individual.

I have a feeling thimble is going to get it :( No way would the get rid of the shoe, everyone wants to be the shoe!

I want to be this man when I grow up!

I would just like to make a distinction with regard to vigilantism. I believe that when the townspeople waving sticks and torches come to beat you up or kill you in response to an accusation, that is vigilantism. I do not think that the dissemination of information falls into exactly the same category, especially…

It's hard to believe researchers are just figuring this out now. At the college level we've been freaking out about grade inflation for about 15 years! At my school, the average grade is now A-, I think, and I'm pretty sure I read that at Harvard the average grade is A.
