My comments have mostly been along the lines of "what a tool."

She doesn't watch many of the unscripted shows, but is hooked on the Bachelor(ette). Normally, I'm not in the room, but I guess tonight is special.

That would make a nice calendar gift for me!! That gives me a great idea for the shoot!! me in a lie flat seat semi reclined with 10 of COs finest FAs on all sides with drinks and food!!

I would LOVE to have that problem. ^^ to you, sir.

WOW. Your secret? I would love to get rid of 20 pounds and at least be able to complete a half marathon by wedding time (next July). It doesn't feel like any of the work I've been putting in in the last couple months has done any good, though. :(

:D because you would prefer 1" or 5"?

Are you supposed to be looking at them - never mind actually pulling the trigger on one - 12 months out? :eek: Maybe my mother's insistence that we pick out bridesmaids' dresses this summer isn't too far off the mark. I thought she was completely nuts and figured I'd start actively looking in the late fall and get serious after Christmas...oh boy.

That's why I can't watch "reality" television programming.

Give it a few more episodes and she will be saying that several times per episode while not referring to their personalities.

Hi Box. Back in CLT after a great weekend in Asheville NC at the Mountain Sports Festival. Good music, decent food, and some fun free clinics. I partook in the kayaking and rock climbing ones. :cool:

Thank you to all those who have served and sacrificed, and to their families.

ROFLMAO!! You should watch the Inner Beauty show!!

I don't know if there are sufficient adult beverages in my home to watch some of these programs.

Thanks. :) Feels good to be losing weight and debt at a pretty good clip.

My secret has largely been general life overhaul. We cook smaller and leaner than my mother ever did for me, I got rid of soda (I'm down to drinking soda about once per six weeks) and of half and half (switched to skim across the board -- cooking, cereal, coffee) and I hustle at work despite covering short distances. When my valets are putting cars in the lots, I move the driveway traffic by running between the cars and shuttling them forward. If it gets busy, I pitch in and play valet attendant and run while doing so.

I'd like to have her approach my height when I have to look into her eyes at the altar. She is 5'7" and I am a hair over 6'3".

I don't know. She tells me what she's doing and I say "Yes, dear". She's always been an ahead-of-the-curve, super-prepared type person. Financial hawk that she is, she also cites longer-range planning as a creator of flexibility in between deposit and payment due dates.

She did just ask me when your date was. I answered and she said you should be getting started for yourself, but not so much for the girls. She is all-knowing at this kind of stuff.

Dang. I got sucked into a "discussion" about dirty planes on the AA board. I guess that clean planes are more of a priority than on-time flights. :mad:

Speaking of reality shows I saw a "coming after the break" preview for bridzila and all I can say about that bride is that lifelong single and abstinence would be the preferable option.

Edited for clAArity.

Thank you. :D

Well I tune out what they are saying, I watch for the pictures!!

Forgot to mention: one of my valets is (was) on his honeymoon this week. They had Jamaica scheduled, and they flew down only to be booted from teh resort after one night. Violence-inspired removal of all Americans. The Mom is scheduled into MBJ on Thursday; we'll see how that goes.
