Such patronizing crap. I was an EMT with the Fire Dept for a few years..and except for the men who tried to keep me from doing my job, I handled everything just fine. As did the other women medics and EMT's I ran into while on 911's. Put us into combat with the proper training and we'd do the same good job as our male…

Excellent advice. I've been the intended victim of attack 4 times and each time I made a fuss and got out of it, sometimes just by mouthing off to the perpetrators and being difficult.

Thank you. I've been thinking this very thing. Vinny has just been less verbal than the others, so he seems nicer.

It looks pretty obvious that Lagerfield doesn't have a great deal of self acceptance, so of course he'll criticize. Why walk around in shades and gloves for 30 years if you like yourself?

Why is everyone so nasty to this girl? Did I miss something?

Well, sure it makes a difference. Jeez!

If you're too tall, you topple your partner, who has to do all that balletic heaving of your body to and fro.

I'll tell you what increases arousal in old ladies. Young men, that's what.

We are such a bunch of assholes, aren't we?

I want to live where i can have a tiger in MY backyard!!!!

Best of luck and good health to you!xo

I am so sorry to hear you have to endure this. My Mom and her mother had breast cancer..my mom is 15 years cancer free now, but I am high-risk,especially because I take HRT ,even thought I know it is risky.

Bless your heart, Ma'am. Such an articulate and courageous person.

My plastic surgeon has all of his patients take Arnica before and after surgery..and he's one of the most prominent in the world in his field. I followed his instructions to the letter and had very little bruising or swelling.

That's one more face for kissing!

Wanna hear him hiss!

Very sad. Sometimes what happens with people is that, through mental illness or substance abuse, they alienate everyone, and end up this way. It's very unusual to have no social ties at all and to have no one check if you go missing, so I wouldn't be surprised if mental illness had something to do with this.

I'm probably a lot older than most of the readers here..I'm pushing 60. so, give yourself time!

Yup. In addition, I don't think even the spankees, like me, can always make the connection between physical punishment and it's later impact.

Mental problems...check!
