a gal i know had a facelift before our last high school reunion. she was the infamous person who climbed that mountain where so many others died...her face looked pretty good, but her neck was 'wattled'. i guess if she wore a scarf or a turtleneck, it would be okay, but they don't seem to be able to do much with the neck skin.

No, but who knows in the future? I'd never get a facelift, though.

No. I am me. And if that's not good enough for other people...tough. It's good enough for me.

No, I've never had cosmetic surgery...but I'm losing weight and that's a natural change. I would have cosmetic work, if only to fix my teeth. I've always been self-conscious about my teeth.

I have veneers on my top teeth. It's fun to think about, but I wouldn't consider it unless I needed reconstructive surgery. I'd rather use what money I have on my kids, my home and a comfortable retirement with my honey--who isn't perfect either.

Always hated my receding chin. I'd love to have a chin implant ala Carol Burnett, but too chicken to have elective surgery. Also never thought I'd contemplate a boobiejob, but I've been doing lots of contemplating lately. But no. Won't allow any operations that aren't medically necessary. At least not at this point in my life.

Good Morning TVCHers!! I hope you're enjoying your Saturday morning. I get to play mom this weekend and watch my sister's kids while she and her dh take a well deserved mini vacation. With that in mind the poll questions for Sunday and Monday might appear at odd times. Hopefully I won't be needing to ask how to get cereal out of noses or anything like that! Ok...here are the results of: Would you ever have (or have you ever had) cosmetic surgery?
Yes | 16 | No | 12 | Possibly | 3 | Never say never | 6 | Today's question is: Aside from English, are you fluent in any other language? Unfortunately, no.

No, but I have a sorta funny story... I work with a child from a home where they only speak Spanish (except the 5 year old and his 12 year old brother). The whole family was there watching me doing a physical therapy session with the little one and they were talking amongst themselves and there were a few giggles (made me a bit self conscious to say the least). So I told the 12 year old, "Hey, that's not fair! I don't know what you all are talking about. Now I'm going to start talking Martian and you won't understand ME!" He said, "Are you REALLY a Martian?" Of course I told him that I was. He then told his family of our discourse and they all busted out laughing. Hmmm...were they making fun of me, or did they think it was funny the 12 year old believed I was a Martian? I guess I'll never know.

my first language was italian. my nonna watched me while my mom worked. now she could speak english, but wanted me to learn it. i was fully bilingual when i was 4. i never learned to read and write it, but could speak it. when my nonna died when i was 15, i haven't spoken it since. well a few words here and there. and i can pick it out from reading and sounding it out what things say. my mother refused to speak it once she had died. i wish i could pick it up again.

not really any more, but I spoke German until kindergarten. Which made my kindergarten teacher very angry.

Angry Kindergarten teachers are scary No. I did take Spanish in HS and French at Berkeley and at that time I could read fairly well in French, enough to do some research for my Art History project. I was fluent in COBOL and a couple of languages used by Tandem when I was programming and I once put on some survey that I was fluent in "feline" and they actually wrote that down.. perhaps they planned to call me in to interpret for visiting cats?

i took french in high school and college and lived in a french-speaking town 450 miles north of montreal for a year. they could understand my 'formal' french, but they had so much slang, it was hard for me to understand them. i was never fluent as i'd hoped to be. i was surprised when my dd took french for 3 years in high school that what i did know all came back to me. when she was maybe 9 years old, my niece filled out a form at school and checked boxes indicating her mother spoke english and french. (my sister took spanish for 2 years in high school and never a day of french). well, they got a new student who spoke very little english and french was her main language. so the school calls my sister to see if she wants to work at as aide for this little girl. my sister asked why her? and they said because her dd had put down that mom spoke french at home. my sister said, "i'm sorry. mel must have made a mistake. i don't speak any french." when her dd got home, my sister asked why she thought my sister spoke french. my surprised niece said, "i thought you did." my sister said, "where did you get that idea?" my niece replied, "well, you are always saying, 'pardon my french'"

No, I wouldn't say fluent, but I majored in German in college, and if I just had lived abroad for a while, my German friend said I could have achieved that...I can still read German and also French, which I studied for 4 years in high school; it's the conversational part that lacks. Wish I had studied Spanish; had no idea at the time it would become our "second language." I have tutored ESL and love doing that.

Spanish. Well, if I'm in Mexico, I am fluent after a day down there. Somehow, six years of language comes back out of the musty recesses of my poor brain if I immerse myself in the language. I can read Dutch and Greek. And again, after a bit can understand what is said to me (although I may not be able to reply).
