How the hell do you forget to eat?? I've forgotten my cell phone, or someone's name and one time I got half way to work before I realized I'd forgotten my glasses (not a good thing as I can't see two feet in front of me without them), and there are times I'd like to forget I've got a husband and kids, but I've never forgotten to eat.

Just a word about the protein thing. There are better ways to include protein in your diet other than those bars. Those things are just nasty. You'd be better off scrambling a couple of eggs for dinner, or having some type of bean soup. Peanut butter is also a good protein source. And does avoiding meat a few days include seafood? You can make a quick shrimp and veggie stir fry fairly quickly. Sharon

Okay - I'll bite. Here are two tidbits of information that I have always found interesting. #1. Did you know that the length of your foot is the same as the length of your forearm? There are probably some exceptions to this, but its true for the majority. #2. The concept of the football (American version) huddle originated at Galludet University (Washington DC). Galludet is mainly for those that are deaf, and their football team used American Sign Language to call their plays. They needed a way to hide this from the opposing team, and behold, the origination of the huddle. Sharon (Does everyone have their shoe off yet???)

I fold them this same way, although I added an extra step to Viv's directions. It's really pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Sharon

My New Year's resolution is to not be a couch potato this winter. My mother gave me a six month membership (at my request) to Curves (sort of because I have them and want to keep them in shape) so I have no excuse to veg. I thought about quitting smoking (again) but, screw it, I like to smoke. And I always get stuck with the designated driver thing. My husband says "Sharon doesn't drink". Yes she does, she just never gets the chance. Although, we were out to dinner tonight with a friend and I did have a Cosmopolitan. They really should just rename that 'Lots of Vodka'. Sharon (still endingless)

I have an ending I'm supposed to be using?? How come no one told me??? I feel so left out. Sharon(endingless) Ooohhh....I just decided what to use. Strolls away in a straight line Sharon

James I'm going to pass along some of the same advice you've given others here. If you don't already have one, find a good therapist and have a good chat. Can't hurt and might just help. And just to be on the safe side, I'll send hugs, too. Sharon

Am I the only one that thinks Green's life looks like an entire season of 'Dynasty' episodes??? Sharon (Wondering why Chaz didn't mention that he knew the guy)

And we all know how well your plans work. <hack..cough...sniffle> Sharon

52?? Did he say 52?? Oh that can't possibly be correct. For some reason Vic always gets the ladies birthdays wrong. Happy Birthday, Kitty Best Wishes for the upcoming year. Sharon

As a parent I sometimes worry that decissions I make concerning my kids may end up being wrong, but I always try to do what I think is best for them. And I do mean what is best for them, not what is best for me so it must be best for them. I want them to live their lives as they see fit, not the life I might want them to have. That's their right and I just hope that by the time they are adults that I've given them the basic foundation to be decent, productive members of society. Your Mother sounds like a lovely woman. And she wants you to have the opportunity to live your life as you see fit to do. She has certain responsibilities in her life that are just that, her's. She doesn't want you to feel that you have to be an extension of her, and therefore, be responsible for any of her decissions. Live your life. Sounds like she did a good job of that basic foundation and if, in the future, she needs your support she'll let you know. And she knows you'll be there for her. Sharon

Best wishes, Dave. Hope you have a great day. Sharon

You know, that stuff that belongs in the mountains. In less reasonable places, they allow it to spray all over the lower parts too. (yes, I know what you were saying) Sharon

When my sisters and I all still lived at home and were driving, the first time it snowed my Dad ran around the house collecting everyones keys. He insisted he couldn't go to work and spend the day worrying about us out 'sliding all over hell and back' (his words). After about the third time, he realized he should just teach us how to drive in the snow and ice. I swear the man would find the largest patch of ice, get the car stuck in the middle of it, then get out and make one of us get in and get the car unstuck (repeat as needed). When I was sixteen I thought the man was just plain crazy, now I know there was a method to his madness. Sharon

I could have sworn we hid that taser from him...... Sharon

I just love this expression. Michael, next time you get one of these, go hither. Sharon

'Steel Magnolia' and 'The Joy Luck Club'. I've seen both several times and cry like a fool everytime. Sharon

I'll skip the marshmallows and have mine with a chocolate almond biscotti, please. Sharon

A friend of mine used to use a service for her pets when she was out of town. They came to her house daily. Name was 'Critter Sitters'. I always thought that was a hoot. Sharon (BTW - I've been following 'A Funny Thing Happened...". You're also a hoot. )

Sounds like you've slid into what I refer to as a 'blue mood'. I find myself sliding once in a while. Blue moods aren't very productive, but every now and then, you have to say 'f**k it...this one's for me'. Usually I can push myself out of a blue mood, basically because I'm too practical for my own good and realize I don't have the time to indulge myself. But... sometimes when I leave my house in the morning and get in my car, instead of turning right like always I really, really want to turn left. Just once, just for me, to see where the 'road' will take me before I'm required to return to my 'regularly scheduled program'. I haven't yet, but one of these days, maybe.... Everyone tops out sometimes. A little self indulgence is perfectly normal. Hope your hermit day brings comfort. It has to be better than a 2am crying jag that only results in puffy eyes and a nasty headache. Sharon

Uh huh, sure. Sharon

I've been trying to figure out what a 'tittle' is for some time now. Sharon

I had the desserts covered. I made pumpkin, apple and cherry pies and a brownie cheesecake. Sharon

She's one of those people who thinks she knows everything, is always right, and the world couldn't function without her interfering. She lives to put people down, criticize, and find things to get pissed off about for no reason. Val I think your Mother works part time as my husband. Sharon
