RMAO, Costa.. I was breathing.. but that was how I experienced my slide downhill.. no breathing allowed. Awwww.. I'm a sometimes grumpy old lady and I know I and lots of even older ladies I know would enjoy having someone younger around! But it can be nice to have a homogenous class too. That goes for all ages of course.

Karen, us old biddies talk about ya behind your back honestly the biddies mostly talk about other biddies. they usually love newbies so they can inform them about which biddie is not worth her time LOL even at 65 its High school I love water aerobics and always wear a 2 pc not bikini but a tankini..mainly cuz my ass is 1/2 the size of my boobs so I have to get 2 dif sizes. If I get a 1 pc to fit boobs my ass the bottom part is droopy!

LOL Sea!!! Pamy, you can usually buy bikinis as separates. In fact, this season's hot look is the mix 'n match look (where the top doesn't exactly match the bottoms). Whenever possible, I head to the beach to shop for bikinis, where there are more options for separates. Although, admittedly, I do it just cuz I've always mixed 'n matched cuz my top and bottom are pretty much the same size.

Karen, if you think the pregnancy boobs are awesome, just wait until you get the 3-4 days after giving birth boobs. OMG(osh,) jaw dropping awesome, unfortunately they only last a few days and they are so tender that even cute, flirty tops to show off how amazing they are are too uncomfortable to wear. I never had more perfect boobs...sigh. Pamy, I buy the tankinis for Kota too, though for a different reason. She's got short legs, but she's really long through the middle and finding a once piece that fits her is almost impossible. The last suit I bought her (that she actually had on this weekend swimming at the neighbors) is the tank top and the boy short bottoms...I so totally love that bathing suit! It's cute, it doesn't show as much as a bikini, and it fits her personality.

Escapee, A couple articles that Juju might have been referring to, that might offer insight: Seattle Times Census Bureau tackles undercount of Native Americans http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011962971_nativecensus27m.html Increased efforts by the Census Bureau to reach Native Americans and other populations appear to be paying off. By taking a government-to-government approach with tribes, the bureau hoped to inspire them to take ownership of the process — and Washington's Tulalip Tribes are a leading example. "If anybody should feel a disconnect from the government, it's Native Americans," said Deni Luna of the bureau's regional center in Seattle. "... There's still this feeling of, 'Don't trust the government, because this is how we got wiped out.' " another recent article: Confusion, mistrust remains in Indian land redress http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011985124_apusindianmoney.html Shirley Butterfly DeVolve inherited 52 acres on Montana's vast Blackfeet Indian Reservation when her father died in 1980. <snipped> That question went to the heart of the massive class-action lawsuit against the federal government that dragged on for 14 years before resulting in a $3.4 billion settlement that the U.S. House of Representatives approved Friday. Filed by lead plaintiff Elouise Cobell of Browning, Mont., in 1996, the suit represents between 300,000 and 500,000 Indian landowners in almost every state. The settlement must still be accepted the Senate. A Cobell spokesman said Friday that the parties had agreed to extend until June 15 the May 28 deadline for approval mandated by a federal court. <snipped> - - - Escapee, really if you google Bureau of Indian Affairs you will most likely find a treasure trove (particularly if it's for an Ethics Class)! The BIA has so mismanaged, lacked/lost accounting documents, bungled for DECADES. Seriously cheated the Native Americans all over this country. As I recall, even the Judge had to threaten BIA for contempt over the lost accounting. Good luck, hope this helps!

How long does salad dressing last in the fridge once the bottle is opened? Would it still be good up to two weeks? I'm headed to Costco in a few and wondering if I should pick up a big bottle there or if it'd go to waste.

I have jars of mayonnaise open for months and I'm not dead yet ;). Unless it's a fresh deli type one you'll be fine.

Thanks Kitt! I'm thinking 2-3 weeks tops, we're getting close to the time of year where we eat salads as dinner and Darren asked for salads for lunch and along with me eating them for lunch I think we can finish off a big bottle in that time.

Kitt, does it not have an expiration date? Most salad dressing brands do.

Sell by dates are only for when something is unopened, once you open it there are different rules.

As long as it has been refrigerated with the lid on, I would think it was ok. I always go by the date on the bottle as long as it has been refrigerated the entire time with the lid on it.

All of the larger bottles of salad dressings at Costco have expiration dates on them. And they are usually quite some time away. Once you've opened the bottle, it's generally good for at least until the expiration date. On salad dressings, it's not usually a "sell by" date, but a "use by" date.

And those bottled dressings have so much crap added to them anyways, they could probably survive a nuclear war. Homemade is much cheaper and healthier.

I think you will be quite safe with the large bottle, War, considering how many salads are in your very near future! I'm guessing it is hothothot out there.. definitely heating up here once the overcast June Gloom clears.

Yup, it was in the 90's today and high 80's most of the week. I won't be using the oven much for the next couple of months, so salads most nights or sandwiches. It's just too hot to eat much else or cook. I'll have to check the bottle to see what the use by date is, other than for parties I've never bought the large bottles of dressings.

Just make sure you keep in the fridge. If you do that, I say years....LOL Also, remember you can cook tons of things in the crock pot. A chicken for chicken salad..... or just in case someone wants a hot meal. (Live in AZ myself, so know about the heat.)
