    Okay, the woman who wanted to sell her 5-year-old and 10-month-old...


    Just... WTF?


    I really HATE even the idea of regulating who can and cannot have children and I cannot stand it when people say, "you have to get a license to have a dog"...


    But shit like this. It just makes me sad.

    My grandmother was a PE teacher until she was 60, then she retired, retrained as a yoga teacher and worked until she was nearly 80. There are some weird-yet-awesome photos showing how strong and flexible she was, even with her glasses and her perm!

    And that particular pose is no joke.

    I tried that pose before I had the core strength -- brashly assuming I could do it after 3 months away from class, since I could do it before -- and I sprained my wrist doing it.

    I suppose I'm supposed to be congratulating this old lady? But quite frankly, she's obviously in way better shape than me and I'm in my 20s, so I'm going to keep it real & tell granny here get lost & downward-dog her way off my lawn.

    @Your Screenplay Sucks: Actually, it can be inspiring. I saw Ms. Eartha Kitt, in her fabulous Giorgio St. Angelo gown, at Carnegie Hall the year before she passed, doing the Charleston and not even sweating, slit up to her zorch, as my mama would say, and I thought "Rooo, this woman is MORE THAN DOUBLE YOUR AGE. Get thy butt to the gym."


    So I whine, but now I go, because I always think of her and how fabulous she was.

    Juice has tons of calories, perhaps only thin people feel comfortable enough to drink it?

    @lippybug: I doubt it. I see plenty of non-thin individuals buying juice in the supermarket, though granted, it's usually those sugared varieties (which are SO BAD for you, with all that sugar and coloring). Drink a glass of those and you might as well have eaten a meal, since it's got just as many calories. I think they're maybe referring to natural juice?

    @lippybug: Not a bad idea. I also wonder:


    * If people who make certain they're getting 100% juice are more inclined to behave in other healthful ways, such as working out


    * If getting sufficient vitamins from food mean one is less likely to overeat. I think not getting sufficient nutrients tells the brain "keep eating".

    My theory is that people who drink juice don't drink soda. So while juice does have sugar, especially if it's 100% juice, it's natural sugar, comes with vitamins at least, and is of course way more awesome for you than soda. I'm kind of a soda nazi though.(I crave it randomly about once a year and will indulge. Otherwise, it grosses me out just thinking about it. Weird I know. But srsly: soda = really not good for you.)

    @lippybug: I have low-ish blood sugar, so I used to drink a TON of orange juice in the morning. But around that time I started to get sick... stomach aches, vomiting after I ate certain foods... and I went to several doctors until I was finally diagnosed with a fructose intolerance. Which meant I had to cut out ALL sugar - sweets, of course, but also tomatoes, fruit and fruit juice, wine, etc. It finally went away, but drinking juice every day was NOT a good thing for me.


    I also wasn't thin when when I was doing it, but just cutting out the sugar (mostly OJ) made me lose ten pounds.


    I know my story is kind of atypical, but I still call shenanigans on the juice stats.

    @quickbird: @MissMoneypenny: Okay, self-proclaimed nazis, you do your thing. But some of us don't like water. For some of us, drinking too much water (like, more than a bottle a day) makes us nauseous. And there is nothing that is "healthy" by your standards. Check out the calories: juice, soda, vitamin water, Snapple, all have over 150 calories per serving. And at that point, you just accept that anything is better than being dehydrated.


    Also, my theory is that people are buying juice for their kids, and running around after kids is a lot more cardio than I get in an average day.

    You know, it almost seems like the woman who sent a stripper to her high school reunion just wanted to prove that she was "better" than everyone else. I mean, it's obvious that she hated that school, but she went through a lot of trouble to set everything up.
