Premature maturity, Silly and Eliz. Maybe you can get some of that sticky backed velcro and stick a piece to your shoulder and a piece to your bra straps. Reduce showers to once a week.

Okay, here is a strange question... Does anyone know of a survey out there that gives information as to which zodiac sign is the most faithful? My guess would be Virgo.

Sounds to me like our problem may not be old age - just yet, but lack of "ballast" to keep those straps in place.

OK. I showed DH all of your responses about paypal and he said its fine for the buyers but not the sellers. A guy at work told him of the woes he has had being a seller and directed him to this website: http://www.paypalsucks.com BTW, we live in NY and this seems to be where most of the trouble has been. Now I don't know what to think.

Sillycal & Deesandy, I also know three sagittarians really well and they are ALL cheaters. They do not believe in monogamy at all! (one is my ex, one is a good female friend and the other is a good gay friend so gender or sexual orientation do not seem to make a difference )

Being a Sagitarian myself I have to admit that in my non-marital relationships I was not faithful to my boyfriends. I did manage to grow up and have no intentions of being unfaithful in my marriage. You have to admit that Sagitarians are fun! Not that it makes it okay for the other...

Twinkie, I am on the seller side of electronic payment methods, and I've never had a problem. I think if you want good prices for your things, you need to offer an online payment. If you don't, I really believe you will not get the highest price possible.

My understanding is that hiccups come from swallowing too much air so I guess it is air in your stomach. When I want to get rid of the hiccups I get a full glass of water (at least 8 oz), hold my nose (and keep holding it) then drink the whole glass of water without taking a breath. Works for me every time. (Don't forget to let go of your nose after you're done with the water . Let me know if you try it and how it goes.

Hic!" You've just hiccuped for what seems like the tenth time since you finished your big dinner. Wonder where these funny noises are coming from? The part to blame is your diaphragm. The diaphragm almost always works perfectly. It pulls down when you inhale to help pull air into the lungs, and it pushes up when you exhale to help push air out of the lungs. But sometimes the diaphragm becomes irritated, and when this happens, it pushes up in a jerky way that makes your breath come out differently from how it normally does. When this irregular breath hits your voice box, you're left with a big hiccup. Some things that irritate the diaphragm are eating too quickly or too much, an irritation in the stomach or the throat, or feeling nervous or excited. Almost all cases of the hiccups last only a few minutes. Some cases of the hiccups can last for days or weeks, but this is very unusual, and it's usually a sign of another medical problem. from: Hiccups

Pamy try plugging your ears with your fingers for about 20 seconds. It supposedly will temporarily short-circuit the nerve that controls hiccuping.

Pamy you can also try a teaspoon of white sugar. You have to dump it all in your mouth at the same time, not just a little at a time. I used to get HARD hiccups when I was younger and they hurt. My mom would give me the vinegar and it worked but YUCK! Then on day an angel was sent from Peoria, IL to live next to us and she gave me a teaspoon of sugar and it worked and there has been NO MORE VINEGAR in my life.
