you simply don't take or give much crap anymore You got that right!! Especially if you meant "you simply don't take much crap OR you simply don't give (at least as much as you used to) a crap anymore!!" And that is one reason I am thankful I am not 21 anymore!!!

I couldn't have said it better. Thanks, Sugar! My gripe is: how do you get rid of unsolicited daily text msgs on your cell? No lie, I get one every afternoon at about the same time & it's from 33999 - who/what ever that is. It's flirting tips! I'm a 51 yr old woman who needs no advise on this subject! How/why did I start getting these anoying msgs & better yet, how can I get them to stop?

Texasdeb, you may be being charged $9.99 a month for it... if you google "text 33999" and click the first result you get a site that says they will send you flirting tips for $9.99 a month and it's auto renewing. They say call 1 800 416 6129 for a live operator if you need help or to opt out text "STOP" to 33999. eta: googling further lots of people are complaining of never having signed up for it and the company not stopping the "service" when asked. Someone said they contacted their provider and the provider blocked them, and that was the only way they could get it to stop. Act quickly... good luck. more eta: and some are complaining about being billed the monthly fee three times a month - I'd really say call your provider and get them to block them charging you ASAP.

That's just it Kitt, I'm not being charged anything for this - I've ck'd any/every where on my stuff & - nope, no charges. I just want it stopped on my phone & I'll try what you suggested Beckie. I think maybe somebody keyed my phone # by mistake to get the msgs & THEY may be getting charged. That's their problem if that's what happened I guess.

Phew that you're not getting charged! It sounded like one of those really frustrating things that never go away. I'd keep an eye on whatever controls your phone account though - either the phone minutes left or your provider account. It might be that they send a few for free at the beginning to get you thinking it's harmless and then start charging. From those websites they sound like really disreputable companies.

Thank You Ms. Beckie03 - I'm doing just that with tomorrow's msg. I deleted 11 of them today. I don't text & I don't get text unless it's a password thing on one of my accts. See folks - we all learn from each other. TVCH friends rock!

I have 2 gripes right now. 1. Cleaning toilets. Actually the whole bathroom. I'm just sick and tired of it. Our house has 2 1/2 baths. Having to move everything on the vanity to clean the counter tops, sinks, mirrors and any other fixtures. Getting the bleach, scrubbing the toilet, wiping the whole potty off. Sweeping then moping the floor or getting the vac for the master bathroom. Is there such a thing as some sort of special dust attracted to porcelin? Seems like I wipe dust off all the time. My knees can't take this kind of cleaning torture. I have always hated cleaning, yet love things to be clean, sigh! 2. Shaving. Legs, pits and anything else that needs it. (Refuse to even start any bikini shaving) Again, just tired of doing it all the time. Ok, not all the time anymore, just if I feel like it or since warmer weather is coming I want to wear shorts. Wouldn't it be nice if you only had to shave once a month or better yet could just tell your dna, no more growing hair on legs, pits, chinny chin chin... A few months ago I posted in the "Have You Done Anything Stupid Today?" thread about how discovered I had only shaved 3/4's of my legs one morning, 2 calves and 1 thigh . Again, my knees and ankles make it hard to stand in the shower the extra time it takes to shave legs. I think perhaps after doing things, damn near daily, for 30 years a person just gets tired of it!

Dipo, do you think we could start a trend? Or some kind of movement that women worldwide will embrace?

I'm fortunate to not have alot of body hair. I prob. shave my legs once a month in the winter months & usually just once a wk the rest of the time. Pits are done once a wk all the time. Chinny however is plucked whenever a bristle shows it's head. If I could grow a full beard I might be inclined to just go with it but those few whiskers just have got to go. I have a gripe too - I'm thinking of suing Playtex. They mis-represent those 18 hr bras because mine give out at about 8. What's up with that! I want that bra off & a sports bra on asap when I get home.

Come to think of it, I haven't shaved my legs since summer. Only time I do shave is when I'm gonna wear shorts.

Trouble is, when you get older, hair grows where you don't want it to grow, and DOESN'T grow where you DO want it grow. That's my male point of view on the subject.

i shave almost every part on my body. i absolutely hate hair. my arms and armpits and legs get shaved most often. i wish i had the money and it didn't hurt so much to get laser removal. and of course...you have to shave your legs and stuff more often because a boy doesn't want to be snuggling or anything else with a porcupine. stupid boys.

Weinermr, I laughed out loud at your resonse & I'm home alone! Beckie03, I don't snuggle up to "boys" & if I'm a porcupine, that's MY thing. If you want to snuggle up with me with no hair on the head, trimmed nose & ear hairs, good breath, & a clean body then bring it on.

Darren will be 38 this June and only has to shave twice a week. He could actually get away with once a week but when he's on the floor at work he has to wear a respirator and he says it's uncomfortable if he has stubble. Makes me sick. Have to shave my underarms every shower and should shave my legs more often, like every few days. Er, think last time I did it was Valentines day.

Beekindpleez I knew there would be resitence! Doomed to continued shaving. I wonder at what age it is acceptable to stop? Beckie03 if you wait another couple days the porcupine stubbies go away and the hair gets softer Texasdeb I think you could get a class action suit against the bra makers. Especially those who claim comfort ! I can think of about a dozen people who have had bra complaints in my last few conversations with them.

Bra---- First I think there is some mental thing that says...if my bra is off, I am at home and relaxed. If your bra is really uncomfortable and you are always pulling on it, or re-arranging things....you might just need to be fit. Just the difference in weight between "that time of the month" and no can make a bra fit better or worse. A person trained to fit a bra can get you not only in the correct size, but the right style and support. A new bra should feel tight enough to be almost uncomfortable. Then when it stretches out that first day, it fits perfectly. Department stores often have people trained to fit you. (Trust me, they do it often enough to make you feel comfortable, and the knowledge about styles and fits is amazing.)

Sugar, you have permission to not ever shave your thighs again. There I saved you half your leg shaving time. However, do not stop shaving the underarms. Blech. I hate shaving as much as everyone else.

Urgrace, if I can find shorts that are knee length... Christy358, I have been fitted in department stores, plus size stores and speciality stores. I have spent $50.00 on a single bra that felt good in the store only to have it is not a good fit a day or 2 later. I don't know why I bother sometimes, there is no support. I have tried it all, changing the length of the strap, using differrent hook positions, various sizes, cups and styles. I even sent an email to Beth the Bounty Hunter, politely asking her where she found bras with such good support. That woman is Endowed! Her bras must be an incrediable feat of engineering. Never heard back from her. Now in my youth I had rather bodacious taa-taas, but time, gravity and weight have taken a sad toll. My boobs go south when I stand and east and west when I lay down. I'm afraid I will wake up a camel one day.
