Sadly, I can empathize with girls that are anorexic. I've never been one (I like food too much ) and I detest throwing up, so I'll never be bulemic. But the self-image thing is definitely a struggle I can appreciate.
Trust me, you don't have to like throwing up to be bulimic. You can even detest it and be bulimic; because at that moment it is either better than the alternative, and/or self-punishment.

Mine come purely from experiences involving too many of the same gender who couldn't deal with someone who looked vastly (and I use that word deliberately ) different to the stereotypical magazine/tv people. And it makes it worse if you're both cleverer than they are and at least appear to have quite a bit of self confidence.

(I'm not saying men are blameless in this, btw. )

I was away for a few hours and you managed to post 4 pages... I guess I missed the *big posting* today.

Going to bed now to mourn the volleyball loss.

Desertgrandma,

Sincerely glad that you like it - Elita did the wrapping herself, she quite enjoys adding those little flourishes. Did the bookmark survive the trip as well (please tell me there was a bookmark in there too!).

For a contrast, I've been going over ToL on the K3 before I go to bed at night

Paul.

Forgive me for not mentioning that. Yes, the bookmark is there.......and illustrated as beautifully as the bookcovers.

I just hope I can remember how to use one......

There is no on/off button on the bookmark! You have to manually apply it and remove it.

I'm sure Desertgrandma can handle a bookmark.
It's like buttering a baked potato.
Just aim for the opening!

Those who need glasses to drive could lend those same specs to their spouses who need glasses to read.
*blink* That might cut my specs-bill by a couple hundred bucks!!!

Wow, that is pretty cool! I figured some special computer warping lenses, but this is just plain optics from the sounds of it.

They'll just increase the price of existing frames.
And triple the price for "unisex" frames.

I didn't mean it that way, BOb.
When it comes to reducing medical costs, there is always a sudden increase on the back end.

I just posted on my blog. Blogs are a lot of work! Especially the kind that involves reading books and writing reviews

I do feel a little lame that I have only three followers though. I supposed I should be doing something to earn more followers somehow, but that just seems like trolling for friends. So instead, I'll just remain me, feeling a bit like the girl who didn't get picked for the team. (I am getting a decent amount of hits a day, though, so at least I know someone's looking... besides my husband!)

So that's what I'm doing right now! Ruminating about my lack of people. Because I have nothing I want to say about the body image thing. It's exhausting to think about. And I sure didn't want to touch recluse's comment about his (or someone else's) back end....
