Got Something You Want To Say?

You should do it.

I felt the same way... But after so many months, it was obvious that my stretching and whatnot wasn't alleviating the problem... The chronic dull pain and tingling prompted me to get it checked out...

It has something to do with instincts and biology. From what I can remember from my psychology classes, a woman in shape and with more meat has more chance to survive the delivery of a child and have more kids. The survival of the race. These days it doesn't matter much, but we can't get rid of 10000 years of evolution in 2 generations. :sweat:
As for me, I like both. Unless they are Calista Flockhart skinny, anorexic or fat. :sweat:

bmwracer wrote:Easier said than done, I'm afraid, E-chan.

Admittedly, a lot of us are superficial. Including myself.

Yes I see your points, but that is not exactly what I am talking about. Hey I am not saying that I am NOT superficial myself. I think we all are to some degree. I like the look of mean and lean. Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors and he is not a big guy. I also like the look of some actresses who are thin, fit and in great shape. What I am trying to say is when did it become acceptable to openly insult others or make them feel uncomfortable just because they are overweight? That is why I used the term "fat bigots."

@krim: I am so happy to hear that your buddy is doing well. That is great news!!!! :thumbsup:

@bmwracer: You might have sciatica. My girlfriend recently had to go get a series of epidural steroid injections in her back to alleviate her pain. She had an MRI and she had disk problems too. She went to the Pain Management section of a hospital to get these out-patient shots. They have helped her pain out immensely.

Oh, I know I have Sciatica.

Heh, I just talked to our VP and he told be he had those shots as well: some kinda steroid injection to reduce the swelling and eliminate the emitted fluid from the disc which irritates the nerve bundle...

I can only hope that's all that's needed. :fingerscrossed:

Niko2x and Aka: that post exchange of yours reminded me of MixxDreamer's dream.. :hehe:

racerpuffs: don't sweat it. i'll be praying for positive results on that MRI.

enna: we are a judgmental race. it's just that our notions vary from one another. it's saddening, actually. but then again, you can't spoonfeed (impose) your beliefs to others. so i guess, the lesser evil is to balance judgment with acceptance and understanding (harder to do). at least, that's how i view it.. :sweat:

Thanks, kiddo. :hug:


Y'know, this may sound far-fetched, but we've gotta have some kinda Jdorama convention or something, so we can meet each other in person... Sad as it may sound, but I talk to you guys more than people in my office or neighborhood.... :sweat:

So far, I've met up with jholic, Aho, qilver, and KT. It's definitely a good idea. Time it right, and I might even try to join you.
