Abbynormal....so true that the older you get the line ends farther down your leg.

I'm not sure if you are all really skinny here but I've got a belly and the problem I have is shifting it so I can see to trim. I did buy a special "ladies" trimmer which works pretty good but after awhile, its still not as smooth as I'd like it. So my loving Danny is going to help me with my at home waxing kit. Sounds like I may not be speaking to him when it's all over!

Is the Smart Car (Mercedes) not available in the USA? They are all over the place up here (Canada), it never occurred to me that they were not being sold in the US too. Just caught a news clip on CNN which says they are expected down south in January.

RFLOL Landileigh.. I guess that answers my question. The Smart Car is a two-seater gas miser. When they first arrived in Canada, they said no-one would ever drive it.. too small, too defenseless against SUV's but there are quite a few on the roads now.

I saw one on the freeway a few days ago here in Oregon. They seemed to be in a few little parades I went to this summer. I think they are just starting out here.

They've been telling on the news since last year that they would import a bunch of them here. I haven't seen one here yet. The Texan SUVers and 2 ton Truck owners, not to mention the monster Hummer drivers, will eat them alive! I've got a small mid-sized car and have a hard time find it in the parking lot, because those monsters always like to park next to me and swallow my car easily.

We test drove a couple of them in July. There is also someone at work who drives over from Canada and parks next to my car most days.

The Smart car is very cute. The inside is the same as the front half of a normal car (roomy), it's just that there is very little behind you! It's like the back half got cut off! LOL You can fit couple of grocery bags behind your seat.

We drove a Canadian version and were both quite surprised and disappointed in the lack of get-up-and-go when you step on the accelerator. There is some lag time while you sit there waiting for the car to move. The dealer/rep said they are going to change the engine in the American version to get rid of that problem.

It is definitely a car for the city. Zooms around, turns on a dime and fits in very small parking spaces! But it's nowhere near as fun as a Mini Cooper.

I would be terrified to drive one in rush hour and we nixed it as a first car for our daughter. It either needs a roll-cage installed or an engine perky enough to outrun a traffic issue. LOL

Cute video!

Has anyone here tried Alli diet pills?

Thinking about it but read some reviews and sounds like side effects are scary!!

My understanding about those types of pills is that the side-effects happen when you don't eat a low-fat, healthy diet. If you are eating an extremely low-fat, healthy diet then you don't need the pills, right? My take on them is that they force you to stick to an eating plan in order to avoid the repurcussions of cheating.

ETA: Nice visual Landileigh. RFLOL

If they are "fat binders" I wouldn't take them. My doctor told me that the pills that bind the fat and you expel it almost immediately have been linked to heart problems.

I've heard they cause "anal leakage." That was TMI for me. No thanks, I'll stay fat.

Babelfish will do some translations, but not English to Hungarian.

The first half of my husband's flight was canceled 2 hours before it was to take off. The airline set him up on another flight which left only an hour to change planes in Chicago. It now looks as if there will be 30m minutes from the time the plane lands to the time the 2nd plane takes off - not counting time for getting off the plane. IF he misses his 2nd flight due to MN airport delays, will the airport give him any available seat on the next flight or can they force him to spend the night until a flight tomorrow that has available coach seats? IF they make him wait until tomorrow, does he have the right to insist the airline put him up in a hotel or does he have to stay at the airport or pay for his own room?

Because the initial problem was their fault --

if he misses, they will try to get him on next available.

if there are no more seats available and the next available is tomorrow, yes he can insist that they put him up in a hotel
