Reg, analytical like an (what you do for a living).True. As they lean back, if you look real close, you can see the faint suture line in the fold underneath the boob where they stuck in the silicone bags. Most plastic surgery is hidden in creases...I'm from L.A. where everyone shows off the work they've had done. I'm with you on this...except for the few who do it for the money and can compartmentalize it away, many have had and will have less than optimal lives. The litmus test: Not a girl you'd want to bring home to Mom and Dad.

Would your parents like it if your sister (if you have any) was a stripper? Mine wouldn't. I know the money can be good. However, my family would not approve and I would not approve if I had a daughter and that's what she wanted to do. We all have our thresholds. The ones I saw at the few clubs I've been to with friends in Portland OR were hard and kind of had an edge. Maybe they are different in more upscale clubs. That's not how I like to spend my money, though.

A couple of thoughts: 1. Did he have to pay? I bet a lot who table dance and stuff hook on the side. 2. I've heard a lot of them are lesbians. That's what I was told in Portland. They are so tired of having guys hit on them for access to you know where that they turn to other women who will give them the "tenderness" they need. Isn't that a pile of crap? I bet that women who want to "do them" would want to for the exact same reason guys would - for their looks and their body, and that's if they don't look hard and skanky like so many of them do. And then when they have pierced labia....fuggedaboutit. I really wonder what, deep down, makes a stripper happy. If she eventually chooses some dude to settle down with, what would be her criteria and could she really make a go of it? So tell us what happened from there.

They are T A C K Y. My opinion, and I have many. Just keep your car clean and keep the fresh air circulating through it when you can.

tmp, you are putting me to shame. I am of the extraction indicated by this food and I could not cook an Italian dish to save my life. BTW, if you like Carbonara, try a sauce called Boscaiola....even better (pinkish sauce, onions, bacon and mushrooms).

What's the story with Equal and Splenda. I am constantly wrestling with the LAST 10 pounds but as much as I am a vacuum cleaner for food, being this much over isn't that bad. Seriously, though, I do use the above brands. They don't have warning labels. Are they dangerous too?

Croc: Do you have good recipes for alligator? I heard it takes like chicken. Seriously, in South Florida, they have those stands where you can taste a "Gator Burger." Thought this would be up your (Alligator) alley. (The Floridians on the board will get this last pun).

Enzora, what is the root of this fear (since you got an 11)? I admittedly think a lot about it too...and how to avoid it. The one way I do not want to go is being someone's lunch...that is dead last! (No pun intended) I just rented "Open Water" the other night. No more ocean swimming for me. I haven't gone into the ocean since the summer of 2001 rash of shark attacks. I've often thought it would follow "he who lives by the sword dies by the sword." In my case, that would be an airplane as I like to travel. Still, I don't want to go that way either.

Reg, I used Hertz while in Las Vegas last weekend. I could have had a Taurus but asked for their GMs. It seems that EVERYtime I go to LV, I get a Grand Prix. And if Hertz has them, you bet they abound at Alamo/National and at Avis. I also saw a lot of Impalas and Malibus all around the city with the rental agency bar code stickers. Incidentally, there were a handful of LaCrosses at Hertz. They all indicate a dual tailpipe meaning CXS with 3.6 VVT V6 and leather....and leather in Las Vegas is a big NO THANK YOU. The LaX CXSs are always in the premium category.

Getting back on track... there is still sort of an "implied contract" in European countries but that's fading. It's hard to get a job (even a not so great one) and then it's hard to lose it. Then, there are all kinds of safety valves when people go through a downsizing over there...they (who, I don't know) pay you for quite a while. I think they are trying to get away from that over there to be leaner and meaner. In case you didn't know, there is also age discrimination over there. I read some ads to see how they differ from American/Canadian ones and they specify age ranges! I told my cousins that, in North America, you CAN'T do that. They are really behind the times...and I am speaking about Italy. I'm sure France is not that different. Incidentally, I think this is an entirely different thread than them harping on religious minorities. We are talking about something else here...

Chargerino! Yes. Your REAL hometown was cool. Watching the low life can be interesting. The furthest west I went was Summerlin...nice, new area. The furthest east I went was Lake Mead and Henderson...also a decent area with nice views of Vegas from the ridge. Just wish OTHERS would share their Spring Break week or weekends.

I almost wet my pants (j/k) hitting that link to look at 2007. Then I read on....not much there. Oh, well. Good things come to those who wait.

This guy who sat in the next office at work was from Smithtown. Through his endless stream of L.I. stories, I lived on Long Island vicariously. He kept telling me over and over that I would fit in there. (But it's too cold) His wife was a pain the ass. She would come in to the office and complain to me about California...constantly. I would just nod. They moved back. Then they returned. When they got back to L.I., she missed California. Poor guy...he acted like he was tough, but he was really P.W.'d. One time, his wife brought me back a phone directory from L.I. called "The Jewish 411." She knew I'd bust a gut over it.

Let's hear some. Good or bad. Doesn't matter. Las Vegas...long weekend...not that warm, shucks...love the starkness of the desert landscape but wouldn't want to live there....there's a lot of low-life around (what do you expect in a gambling based town). Took the last flight back up and it ran late, so today at work was B...A....D.

Sorry, Lauren, was expecting something I could help with. Nice TeeTh...that was from the picture you posted standing with your boyfriend. A good smile...your dentist/ortho would be proud. I just had braces "installed" 2 months ago. Good luck with your search for this topic/item.
