    Beard v mustache

    Pursuant to a unplanned trimmer slippage yesterday, I had little choice but to lose the beard. All that could be rescued was the mustache. After 24 hours of non-stop howls of agonized embarrassment from all the females in the house, it is gone too. I will cheerfully concede to being a...

    Airline ready to offer XL class

    It's early days but I'd be interested to know what people think of this idea? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10890196

    Forgiveness

    As I noted on the Domestic Violence thread, there are some things in my past that still get on my goat. To put it mildly. For years this bothered me. I found it very difficult to forgive and forget, especially when the poor behaviour was (and remains) ongoing, and rather beat myself up about...

    Humbling thought

    I was down at the gym this morning and set a new personal best for leg presses and was quite pleased with myself. Then it occurred to me that some of the ladies here are lifting twice that and even more, every time they stand up. Good grief! I don't know how you do it.

    Job websites - what do you use in the US or UK?

    I'm curious. I tried looking it up on Google but Google is getting way too clever and just gives me heaps of NZ sites which isn't what I'm interested in.

    As others see us...

    At a recent convention, I was in a group where we got asked as one of those team-building exercises to assess ourselves as others see us and then compare notes with another group member who knew us. I thought it might make an interesting thread for this board since so many people are...

    Positive side effects of bariatric surgery

    I know this can be a touchy subject but don't have an opinion on the issue either way and thought the information might be useful to some people... Down here in NZ, there is world-class research being done in type-2 diabetes, mainly because there is a large population of obese polynesians...

    Obesity and Stress

    A new study just released in NZ claims that obesity is closely related to a number of stress and anxiety disorders. The sampling was done over 13,000 cases so should be reasonably representative and, if I heard it right, finds that there is little correlation between post-traumatic stress and...

    Insomnia

    Any other sufferers out there? Any solutions? It's 3:30am here and not sleeping is losing its attraction real fast.

    What is friendship?

    From the "what is love" thread. OK, well flattery always works well with me so here we go; an ode to friendship: The mind is so rarely disturbed, but that the company of friend will restore it to some degree of tranquility and sedateness. - Adam Smith (1723 - 1790) English economist...

    Acceptance v Tolerance v Activism

    Following a family funeral over the weekend; my brother and I took the extended family out to dinner. (BTW, thanks to all those who offered their condolences, it was much-appreciated). The family is very spread-out. There were people I hadn't seen in seven years in some cases. There were a...

    Red face

    Every so often on these boards there are stories about ladies who have been compromised and embarrassed by their weight ie broken chairs, split clothes and so forth. While not unsympathetic, I can't say as I ever felt much empathy either. Never really gave it much thought. Well, no more! I...

    Conditional Relationships*

    There are been a recurring theme on a couple of recent threads regarding the conditional impositions that some FAs place on relationships (must keep/gain weight or whatever). Without wanting to undermine that line of inquiry; it occurs to me that it might be worth looking at the other side of...

    Really sad story

    I was down at the funeral parlour this afternoon making arrangements for Dad and the conversation wandered onto the subject of suicides. The undertaker's face fell. He had one downstairs, "just a young lass" as he put it. She was very overweight and that was part of the reason, apparently. He...

    Best of times...

    I don't know why, but the other night I woke up in the wee small hours with a strong memory of one of the happiest times in my life and the idea that it would make a good thread here. So here goes... For a number of years, we would go for summer holidays every second year with a selection of...

    So, what is beauty?

    Having just read the thread "Your body and self esteem in the face of fat - phobia" and some of the comments on beauty, I realised I'm not sure of what a good definition for beauty is. So thin can be beautiful, fat can be beautiful, colours can be beautiful, actions can be beautiful. What is...

    RIP Sir Edmund Hillary

    The conqueror, with Tenzing Norgay, of Mt Everest passed away in his sleep here in Auckland yesterday morning. He was 88. The media here is already whipping itself into a lather as he was a national icon and hero. I don't normally subscribe to the overweening sentiment that saturates such...
