Salt, salt, salt!

Do we know when and where this started? I was listening to live albums yesterday and started wondering.

Re: RIP - Jimmy Buffett

Well friends, it’s been over 20 years since I was last on here.

I’m relieved to see that others are feeling the same deep loss I feel. I thought I was crazy. It’s like I lost a family member, best friend, and a piece of myself at once.

I figure Jimmy deeply impacted 33ish of my 47 years. My whole ...

What's even better is that we had someone here write in and compare kids getting calls from parents in Iraq to kids having parents in jail and wanting to get their calls.

hmmmmm........being in jail....or serving your country.... yeah they go together. of course.

Sorry I just need to vent. This is one of my biggest pet peeves.

I have no problem with handicap spots. Those people were born with or somehow acquired a disability. They deserve to park closer to stores. I have a HUGE issue with these "OBTLC" and "Family" spots.

I'm 31, female 5'6ish and used to be a size 16, 155 lbs in my teens. I started weight training and got down to a size 6/8, 145 lbs. (muscle weighs more than fat, hence only actually losing 10 lbs. Go by how clothes fit, not necessarily a scale.) I've maintained that for about 15 years now. I eat ...

Fage Greek 0% Yogurt: 80 cal, 0g fat, 6g carbs, 13g protein

This doesn't make sense. Single women still have to cook and clean. They get married and they have someone to cut the grass and take out the garbage. Sounds like they have less work when they get married not more.

I work in a medical office doing the billing and we were given the option to wear scrubs also. I refuse, for fear that people will assume I am a nurse. Patients automatically think you are a doctor or nurse if you are in scrubs and start asking questions.
