I'm old so the use of the word "dating" is particularly confusing for me. Back in the olden days it meant the early stages of a relationship before anything was really serious. You said you were dating Mr. X before you started calling Mr. X your boyfriend. I'm told that today people use the word "dating" as a

Mark 7, v 9: "He added, 'How well you frustrate the law of God to observe your own tradition.'"

I see your point and agree but I'd like to add that it's tragic that our culture is such that a person as you described, the woman in the photo, would even think about body shame.

I only read print ads.

It's my understanding that vaccinations don't provide an impenetrable shield for the vaccinated, but that they do greatly reduce the possibility of the individual contracting the disease. So even a healthy vaccinated person can still get sick if they're exposed as well.

As I was scrolling down the page I saw the three garments pictured in the Worth bit and zeroed right in: I was going to find out who the designer was and where I could buy them, I wanted the two on the left and probably could have figured out a way to wear the one on the right.

You're a careful reader! I just don't like the way the post is written, referring to grown ass women as girls, and didn't express myself very well.

I'd have to say that the only thing that bothers me about this is that this guy, who appears to be an adult, should be dating full grown women not girls.

I think it's all square emerald cuts and princess nowdays. Very nice, but a skinny rectangle thrills me.

There are several countries who depend on legitimate diamond mining and export to fuel their development. Those nations are all cheering right now.

"Fleeting trend"? Nuts. I love skinny emerald cuts, always thought emerald cuts were classics and didn't realize anyone was buying them again. I was happy to see Angelina's is an e.c., hoping she'd start a trend! I am so woefully out of it.

When I read the first post on this stupid and damaging rule I figured the elderly were being used as scapegoats. They didn't want fat nurses and chose to blame it on the old folks rather than taking responsibility for it themselves.

I never will understand the attitude of bouncers when celebrities are involved. I alerted security once in a shopping mall I was working in where a couple of drunk people were acting up. They asked for a description and when I gave it to them they laughed and told me who it was and that they were taking no action. If

Many of our nation's poor work more than one job and have children. So a parent who's working 60 t0 80 hours a week still has to pick the kids up and oversee their homework etc. or just be present to keep them from killing each other. Busy. It's true that's not the life all poor people live but it is the live that a

I think that if you never want to hear it, you should never say it.

The best approach for the hospital is to hire the most skilled people available to them regardless of the applicant's weight and put in place methods for weight management. Nutrition classes, a gym, and something I've never seen in a hospital cafeteria, healthy foods with nutrition data displayed. In other words,

Yes. Rising fuel prices are everyone's problem, even if you don't drive. I concern myself with gas prices even though I don't drive very many miles each year and I have a delightfully fuel efficient car. Fuel prices affect every single thing we buy; somehow it either got to you or you got yourself to it and usually

From one old lady to another, even older lady: Sometimes you just have to step aside and let the times change for better or for worse. Please go home Phyl.

The military hospital is McCain's ticket in. That's as far as my knowledge on this goes. I don't know what difference parentage makes; if his dad had been a Panamanian doctor with a Panamanian wife working on the base would that have made McCain eligible simply because he was born on the base? If she'd have had the
