OnPoint: Election 2011: GO!, in reply to nzlemming,
Gradations of “dislike” to “apoplexy-inducing disgust” would be most utilitarian.
Wouldn't do any good, I suspect. They wouldn't compute. Try going against the trend with comments, and somehow they get lost....

Up Front: Say When, in reply to Islander,
damn! That's been my explanation for years!
Actually, I was only half-joking! Bones grow (and diminish). They're living things that can become depleted through many causes, one of which is poor diet, but fish and veggies and an outdoor lifestyle should grow good, big, strong, heavy bones.
Weight-resistance training adds to bone strength too.
Makes me a bit sad when I hear of poor old people breaking bones. I found it bad enough to break my ankle - gave me quite a turn realizing that perhaps my bones weren't as strong as they once had been, but it's a few years since I went to the gym. Time to go back, I suspect. (Notice I don't include myself in the "p. o. p." ?? :) )

Up Front: Say When, in reply to Tamsin6,
I think you replied to Jackie not me, right? I didn't actually say what you've quoted. However, it's worth my pointing out again that being unhappy, (or shall we say depressed ?) whether it's due to fatness or is just coincidental, is often made worse by sitting around unhappily, doing nothing much.
I'm not underestimating the nasty long-term effects of depression in any form as it was something that happened to me, quite without my realizing it, and by the time I did , it took a couple of years at least for me to get back to normal.
Having been incapacitated by an injury last year, I became seriously unfit. A paunch; flabby, weak muscles....unpleasant and not how I wanted to be. I'm now actively working on getting rid of a few excess kilos which has a two-fold benefit - I feel better, fitter, and happier.

Muse: TV Review: Good Gods Almighty!, in reply to Jackie Clark,
Did I meet Kevin Sorbo?
Uh-huh. Remind me to tell you my Kevin Sorbo story, Jackie.

P.S. There was an episode or two of "Hercules" which featured the Norse Gods. Hercules saved them, of course. (Just saying).

I'm really, really late with this, but on this be-oo-t-full day, I watched it on video - because there's another one tonight and we'll need that tape...... but thought it was well worth another thumbs up. It had laugh-out-loud moments aplenty, and I for one can cope with some plot-laying ahead of time, so yes, please, bring it on! Not to be missed.
Actually, Craig, I thought the femmes - they of the Tarot and heaps of coolth - looked pretty interesting too.
No doubt, any creakiness in acting will be overcome, and eventually we'll forget all those ads enough for them not to intrude.

She does weigh 263 pounds.
Heavy bones!

Up Front: Say When, in reply to Josh Addison,
That woman doesn't look fat to me. Well-covered; ample; Rubenesque.....

One of the most attractive big (fat, large, weighty - whatever!) women I ever saw regularly was an aerobic instructor, when I used to go (before I got shin splints and had to stop that sort of exercise). She was a happy and extremely fit person. I think feeling healthy and fit can make all the difference. If you're blobbed out on the sofa, feeling like shit, not getting any fresh air; change of scenery; circulatory and mental stimulus, you'll be unhappy. No doubt about it.
Well, not in my mind anyway :)
