In Fashion Talk 1368989917.087 LindaR, it was good of you to do that meal preparation for the family. It's a gesture we should all try to do more. And I know you felt good afterwards, for how you have helped another. It will be a boost to the family for you to assist once a month. Marijane, the train derailment was truly awful. Two miles of track?? Hard to comprehend. Those types of accidents are all the worse because of the number of people involved. And of course there will be a tremendous impact on commuting as well. Jean, I'd like to see that movie. I've always been a Star Trek fan (some generations more than others). ... Continue Reading In Fashion Talk 1368908651.23 Hi everyone! Yes, it is rainy and somewhat humid today. I'm working at Crush for DD today, and business is SLOW. The Biscuit Festival is going on so perhaps everyone is tied up with that. The festival is supposed to draw about 20,000 people downtown, but they sure aren't making it to the Old City! Oh well, I have the store's dance track for fun (dubstep and house music - makes me want to move.) Arlene, the danish photo you posted on FB looked delishus. Good ideas about socializing the kitties. DD and DH surprised me today with the news that we are sitting for another dog in a week. DD's frien... Continue Reading In Kitchen & Food Talk 1368824774.513 OK, gotta sound off on the Bosch here. I bought a new one a year ago and it it quit working. When it did work, it didn't clean as well as my old GE. It IS quiet. I haven't even bothered to have a repairman come out, I've just started doing my dishes myself (I have 2 DDs and 1 DH living with me). My kitchen is actually in better shape now that I do it myself, and I don't feel the need to replace my dishwasher at this time. Continue Reading In Judith Ripka 1368804734.837 I don't blame JR for not reading reviews! She obviously has faith and confidence in her own sense of design and her sales are proof enough that buyers love her items. Reviewers and forum contributors can get snarky, and who needs that? I do have a necklace and earrings from Judith that I love, but I don't love the watch enough to buy it, even though the price seems OK. It's a little gimmicky with the loose items inside the crystal, and I'm more of a classic style watch person. I also prefer Arabic numbers to Roman numerals on my watches. That's just me, and I know many, many will buy the watc... Continue Reading In Fashion Talk 1368804065.4 Kathleen and Nancy, you both inspire me! Good for both of you with your working out and running efforts. I walked "the circle" yesterday with a friend, that's the loop around my neighborhood. It's so much easier when you have a friend's support, even "virtually". I am embarrassed to admit how out of shape I am, and I used to be a card carrying gym member. I stopped sometime before I was so sick, and of course could not do much for a long time after my transplant, but there's just no excuse now. Jean and Arlene are having so much success with their new weight loss, and all of you seem to exerc... Continue Reading In Fashion Talk 1368732749.437 I, too, was impressed with MZ's show today. I like his clothing, and his professional and knowledgeable presentation. I have a couple of his items - a tunic and 2 pencil skirts that I bought as Lunch Time Specials. I've been pleased, but I am still working out correct sizing with his line. I had to size up on the skirts, and the tunic I had hemmed because it was very long (I am 5' 7"). But I will probably order that jacket and the top that Mary Beth wore today. And the capris - loved the seaming detail on those! Continue Reading In Fashion Talk 1368731194.07 Bra fitting made a big difference for me. I wore a 40C for many years, and I had a professional bra fitting. I was SHOCKED to be fitted into a 36DD. I looked past the cup size increase, tried on a few bras in my "new" size, and found I looked and felt much better in the recommended size bra. Continue Reading In Fashion Talk 1368723940.513 On 5/16/2013 Debbie1426 said: Not me. The Le Mystere Tisha bra is my favorite t-shirt bra. And for me, too! Expensive, but I just bought a new one on the bay for about half the price I paid at Freshpair.com. It may be the best bra I've ever worn, especially for us D cups. Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1368650260.337 Don't forget that alcohol in the bloodstream causes capillaries to expand and sometimes burst. If I drink wine my face flushes very easily, and I have some broken capillaries that I think have come from that. I did have a laser treatment about 10 years ago, but can't say that it helped much. Maybe technology has improved. I just use concealer, and mine haven't gotten any worse since I first noticed them 10-11 years ago. I also rarely drink wine any more. Continue Reading In Fashion Talk 1368473961.697 Arlene, I'm sorry about Figaro. Hopefully you'll be able to catch him when he comes around hungry. You finally got that yard work done, and I'm not surprised you are tired and achy today. Nancy, I'm glad you enjoyed having the girls for Mother's Day. I also enjoyed watching the Dooney show yesterday. Wasn't in the market for a bag, but that Florentine leather sure is beautiful. I also liked the cotton floral bags. Karen, so nice about the iPad for your Mom. I think if Michael sets it up with only the most important apps, and keeps off all the stuff she won't use, she may adapt well to it. As ...
