Happy Belated Birthday to 'Ouise and Zenkitty!
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Mostly lurking...
has anyone here had plastic surgery (i.e. for cosmetic reasons, not for reconstruction after a car accident or something)?
I've had 13 plastic surgeries to repair my partial cleft lip. The last surgery was a nose job, and to this day I have NO idea why anyone does it for purely cosmetic reasons. It WAS NOT FUN.
And that's all I have to say on the matter.

If I were to ever have plastic surgery, it would be lipo. I'm pretty happy with the way I look, just wish that there was less of me! plus, if I had lipo, I'd be sure to keep the boobs!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The only plastic surgery I've ever considered has been breast reduction. But it can lead to loss of sensation, plus it can cut off the milk ducts, and I tend to scar really badly from even pretty minor cuts, so I've always decided against it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I got my book! (2 actually. Couldn't resist.)
Only on page 12 and sniffling and getting teary.
Thanks for being so brave, for writing the book, for everybody who helped, for just everything Allyson and buffistas.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'd love to have breast reduction. My sister's ex-boyfriend had his eyes done and a chin implant. And I know someone who had reconstruction after a double mastectomy. But that's it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Bad news: Bob Bob was at a conference in Halifax this weekend, and his plane back to Ann Arbor was canceled because of weather, and they didn't book him on another flight until tomorrow afternoon.
Good news: He was in Newark at the time! Unexpected Bob!
Freaky sidenote: I had made a bet with someone that there's no way Bob would unexpectedly show up in NYC between June 20 and the end of July (his next scheduled visit). I ...lose?

Here's another one: I learned that a couple I know are having fights about money. The problem is, he has a $500 a month "personal spending money" budget and regularly goes over. I don't know enough about their finances to know exactly what's in personal spending, but hers is $125 a month. They are a 2-income couple, both civic employees, with 2 kids.
That seems like a hell of a lot of "personal spending," right? I mean, that's an iPhone (admittedly a lame 4G one) a month!! I have no idea what he spends it on, but it's not anything like drugs or loose women, I'm pretty sure.

Huh? Why would his be so much higher than hers? That seems really weird.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That was my first reaction as well, Brenda.
