I used to have this thing about sitting with my back to the door or window of a resteraunt.... I would always find a way to put my back to the wall so I could see who was coming at me.... it felt like I had been in the military or something but couldnt understand it until I did my 2nd past life regression and relived being shot to death by someone who snuck up on me from my left while I was looking right....

Um.... I prefer to sit with my back to the wall if I can... in fact, sometimes I'm a little wierd about it.... I'll manuever myself into position if I'm in a group and we're being seated at a restaurant, so that I get the seat with it's back to the wall. I don't believe in past lives, but I'm starting to wonder....

My kids tell me I'm wierd all the time. Now that my daughter drives, I have to know where my kids are at all times. They say I'm wierd. I beg to differ.

well, it's hard to believe, but i'm finally ready to go on my world travels that i've been planning for so long.

finally, i've gotten everything lined up, all the loose ends tied - i am on my way.. i leave this thursday for my first leg: 3 months in japan!

GoingGoingGone

How cool!!!! I love traveling... I've been all over Europe and the USA, and a few other places, too.... Never been to Japan, though, but I've always wanted to go. I had a Japanese pen pal when I was a teenager! She had the most amazing handwriting!

Have a wonderful time, and stay safe!

Updates on Hurricane Rita's progress, etc.

by Frannie Banannie in

i decided to start a new thread on this topicokay, yall.

rita is packin' 170 mph winds with gusts, but has taken a slightly eastward turn, so we'll be on the west side of the eye, which means we won't be getting the worst of it.

but now they're calling for mandatory evacuation of beaumont and jefferson county, where crabby pants is, and they're gonna be getting the worst side of it there, along with bunches of tornadoes.

GoingGoingGone

I was watching the news last night, and it seems they have learned from Rita that no matter how bad it is, many people won't leave their pets. So the busses that are evacuating people are taking their pets, too, and the Red Cross shelters are making room for pets.

If that's what it takes to get people to leave, then I think it's great. Just get everyone out of harm's way.

Stay safe Frannie!!!!!

I've flown Jet Blue, and was very happy with their service and their prices. And now I see that they have excellent pilots, too! I'm so glad that the plane landed safely.

I wonder what the runway looks like after that landing gear scraped it's way to a halt...

just sick...7 year olds caring about their looks...

my sister says my niece keeps coming home after school crying because a couple kids have been calling her names...primarily "fat.

" and now she's starting to say that she doesn't "look good" in certain things and has said that she's "fat.

she's thinner than i was at her age--7. and i never thought about what i weighed at 7. i don't even think about what i weigh now because i'm not worried about it...i know i'm not overweight so why bother?

GoingGoingGone

I would also emphasize eating healthy, not eating to 'lose weight'... People concerned with their health take care to eat proper portion sizes, get enough nutrition (limiting visits to MickyD's), exercise, etc, and would avoid purging, for example... So I would think that HEALTHY is the way to go.

But since ED runs in your family, would it be possible to contact a specialist, maybe get some ideas to prevent any potential problems? Explain your family situation and your niece's comments. Prevention is much easier than having to repair a problem if one should arise.

Hope all goes well!
