It is terrible hair and make-up. The pale vampires are cringeworthy. But they are such engrossing books and the movies are ok, they are very entertaining. I'd say give them a try. I put off reading them for the longest time, but when I did, I couldn't stop.

Phoenix and Gryphon. They are both girls.

I keep that website in my bookmarks and go back to it all the time!!!

As a teacher, it is so awkward and uncomfortable to face a class of girls with very low cleavage. Or teenage boys who find any opportunity to lift their shirts, and they do. I have had colleagues who do ask some female students to put a sweater on, or pull them aside and talk to them privately, but I haven't yet. I…

I loved Wild On! I have always had a girl-crush on Brooke Burke. Such a dirty show.

Thank you for the response, I am glad that your friend found the help that she needed.

I am sorry that you went through that, but so happy that you are well. I can hardly imagine what is going on in her head. It was a big white elephant in a busy fairground, I wonder what family dinners are like.

We've only talked about the fact that she IS bulimic, and only briefly. I think the sister has a lot of other emotional problems too. I hadn't realized the severity of it until today. I think I will ask my friend if they have ever talked to the sister about it, or if they have considered any treatment. My only…

A good friend of mine has a sister who is bulimic. This girl is stunning, but also almost skeletal. I had known that she has eating disorders, but she lives very far away so I had never spent much time with her. My friend and I had plans to go to a nearby fair today, and her sister happened to come to town so she…

I know that there are Jezzies who struggle with eating disorders, and I don't want to trigger anything or offend anyone, so my experience with a friend is in the reply.

Not if you think of it as being used to add more feminine characteristics. What else can she do at this age to be identified physically as female?

I loved "Life of Pi" It gets better once you pass the first couple of chapters. I promise.

I'm watching Dazed and Confused on Netflix. I love this movie, and I especially love the soundtrack and sleazy Matthew McConaughey. I tried to find the version of this song that they used in the movie, but it wasn't on Youtube. (Video added to follow the theme)

That's awesome, good for you for standing up for yourself!

I've always put the plug in the tub when I shower, and a normal shower fills up about half the tub, so when i'm done everything I turn off the water, sit down in the tub and shave that way. if you leave the shower curtain closed, it stays pretty warm in there. My older sister used to tell me that I was getting clean…

That is so cool! Thanks for the detailed reply. What a great skill to learn with your husband, the teamwork is amazing. Do you think that someday you will set up a studio of your own? I can imagine it would be very expensive to build. And also hot combined with your weather, yikes.

How do you get to be a glass blower for fun? Where\how did you start? what kind of things do you do? I am fascinated by glass blowing. sometimes I spend hours on youtube watching videos. I have a little kiln and I do some fusing, but that's childs play compared.

I have their cheek tint in Flushed, and although it looks dark when solid, it goes on perfectly. I have tanned but ordinarily light skin, and it is just enough colour to make me look not dead. I use it all year round too.

I've never made pico de gallo, I will have to try that next!
