She weighs somewhere around 135 - 140 and is 5'2"
BMI is a load of kaka. When I weighed 142 at 5'3" the Navy said I was overweight. I volunteered for a body fat measuring trial at North Island and they measured me four different ways getting anything from 24-28% bodyfat. The most accurate means of measuring bodyfat is through hydrostatic weighing in a water tank. At 142 I was 24% bodyfat in the tank. I wore a size 10 at the time because of the type of things I was doing physically that affected my shape. There's been times when I weighed 142 and wore a size 8. I really hate the current BMI standards.
To the Bay Area?
Heh. I think it was a local move. There was only a pick-up involved. It was mostly packing boxes while I was trying to finish up work on a show.
It's no wonder my neck is a giant mass of tension.
Pursuant to nothing, I was surfing on the TV yesterday and ran across something on E! which was about photo retouching. In addition to the "Hiz hed is pastede on yey!" stuff (sadly they did not use that phrase) there was a soundbite from Tyra Banks.
Who said something like, "If people could see my butt, where it looks like somebody took their hands and squeezed my butt really hard, and it stayed that way --! But I have retouching so nobody sees my cellulite."
I would be interested in looking at that unretouched butt. Just for curiosity's sake.
Cash, I need to tag this.
Tag away, aurelia, tag away.
I hope mac's experience at school is kick ass and fun, msbelle. I'm sure he'll be so excited he'll be wanting to go on weekends. (This is what I did when I went to kindergarten.)
I read somewhere recently (online)...maybe it was a Dexter fanfic...about the idea of telling when someone's fallen asleep because they've started twitching. Is that really usable?
When it comes to school, kindergarten is really a pretty good time. Yay for mac's first day, and fingers crossed the transitions just get easier.

The hypnogagic thingee. If you mean "they're not asleep if they haven't twitched" it's probably not true. If you mean "if they twitched they've fallen asleep" then that is true IME. Happens all the time chez bon-Bob.

This claims that things "may" twitch in REM sleep. But REM isn't the first stage of sleep you fall into. If you twitched all night long, then it might be a good tell; but in most of the stages you lie completely still.
(The quasi-paralysis of deep sleep is supposed to be one of the "causes" of alien abduction delusions, as well as night terrors.)
If you mean "if they twitched they've fallen asleep" then that is true IME.
And the corollary of "If they've twitched because they've fallen asleep, and you're in bed snuggled up next to them but are not *quite* asleep yet, then you WILL be jolted fully awake" is ALSO true. At least Chez Tep.

Hmm. I just twitch. I mean, when I lie down. I'm about to lie down to watch more Torchwood, and I can guarantee that within fifteen minutes (wait, my leg just twitched and I'm still sitting up) I'll have twitched two or three times.
Man, I wish I had someone in my bed to fool with that.
