My teen years were mid 70's and that when they "could" touch at the top, knee and calves. I look back at pics of us in HS and we were all perfectly lovely creatures. Male and female. PERFECTLY lovely!

ITA with you!

This is an old trite saying, but I sincerely believe if someone doesn't love us for who we are (I don't mean just slovenly slobs who do no work on themselves inside and out. We can all stand to tighten up our game.), but they are TRULY not worth putting our time and effort into them. I have been married…

Consider it a bullet dodged. What a skeeve.

Frankly, I *usually* couldn't care less what or who my children are attracted to, and I wouldn't even on the "thigh gap" if having a thigh gap wasn't often, not always, but often, a result of an unhealthy emphasis on feminine ideals. I really don't care if my kids are gay, straight, bisexual, if my sons like women…

I don't, and never have, gotten worked up by my body type (except I do get GREAT results with exercise in relation to my BP and blood lipids). When I was in high school, so many people asked me if i didn't "just hate it" that I was so tall. I was 5'10. No, I didn't hate it AT ALL and I still love it. As a matter of…

I'm selling my youngest son, cheap. He just turned 16 and sometime last month I spoke critically of the "thigh gap" being a measure of beauty now. He said, "Wait, are you saying that is NOT attractive?" I told him that was not a barometer of attractiveness, and then he said that "everyone I (he) knows think of a…

Just saw this. I'm in Texas, and there is no better dessert than to sweeten sour cream with a bit of your favorite sweetener, (Mine is sugar.) and to dunk a lot of fresh fruit in it. Mmmmmm!

A lot of times people who suicide, do so in a public place so that their loved ones won't have to deal with finding them. My neighbor was actually pretty well hidden, it was just that I was at an optimal angle to see. I don't know what the nature was of his daughter's mental illness, but finding her dad hanged in the…

I felt AWFUL! He was a little old man, and I had a young family. I always spoke to him when I saw him, but we tended to keep our distance because he had an adult daughter who lived when him and she was extremely mentally ill and we would hear her howling and screaming all night. Just didn't need that drama if we got…

Ouch, lol. Well not dressed up Nicole so much as when I have seen her in casual clothes. (And I have no problem with purple hair.)

That's what I'm remembering her from. I thought she stole the show and I know if she had been my friend when I was young, we would probably both still be in jail.

I love Nicole Richie so much. She can be pretty hilarious, but her style is right up this old hippie chick's alley. Well, if this old hippie chick was stinking rich, but still.

I'm sure they do clean it, I know here they want new stuff, mostly because of wear and tear. It doesn't do anyone any good if they put in a potty and the seals leak in a week, or other parts in the tank don't work right. They want new exterior materials, because it can cost more to try and make different types of wood…

I saw my neighbor hanging in his garage right outside my kitchen window when I was pregnant with my daughter. The rope stretched out so much, his knees were almost on the ground. I didn't feel creeped out as much as guilt.

Damn, how low do you have to go to be a "lessor Manson", lol.

You aren't going to HAVE friends with such draconian rules.

Depends.

Maybe it didn't smell bad until it rained hard, and the basement walls wicked the moisture into the basement making the molecules of blood all coalesce back into raging rivers of BLOOD! (Or at least a bucolic pond of plasma.)

They're baaaack! Poltergeist.

Definitely a documentary. We sold our TV after that documentary.
