Not really. I don't think like that, nor do most of my friends. Toothpicks break easily.

Corsets are likely a FRENCH invention. See "fashion after 1500". Let's lay off the Canadians and...

Ahmmm, anyway, the skiny on modern skiny is from the fashion gurus who saw "Twiggy" (Petula Clark) in the mid 60's. They were looking for a new look after 20 years of Donna Reed and Doris Day. Many hippy chicks tended to be anerexic from low food intake, so that was the que. Ladies didn't do this all to themselves, but they aided and abetted by not calling a halt. Shocked

A very good Frontline special called "Dying To Be Thin" has been in the PBS loop recently. Has it all in deathly living color. Imagine being a ballet student, age 12, and being told you're too fat by the teacher... at 90 lbs. Imaging loosing 30-50% of your muscle mass by age 40 (instead of 80). Ugly has many faces beyond skin deep. Sad

Everyone should see this show before age 10 and again at 14.

Hey ya! I was watching that, and I heard about Twiggy! Wow....that's scary! I'm so glad I don't care about how much I eat. I live for fast food, an grease and junk food, but I do eat healthy too.....Yes! Go Matabolism!

Unfortunately I ate waaayyy too many Kazer0's (& etc) while younger and now have Crohn's disease. To list what not to do and be healthy beyond 20 would fill too much space here and leave you a social outcast when you say no to the lunch trip to McDeath's. (In retaliation I only go there now to leave deposits. Violent

)

Any one at DOS Games with GI problems is welcome to PM me and we'll talk privately (as we should). Maybe I can smooth your road. Cool

Ya, oh my god. There's this ....ok, DA, you'll know what I'm talking about...
We had a "Meeting" today, and this guy commented, I know the family good, and one of the kids is my age, anyways...we were talking about struggles in the family, and he said he was diagnosed with diabeties (If that's how you spell it) I never knew that, and I didn't really like like the guy before (The one that's my age) but now I feel really sorry....I mean, having to go through that terrible disease.....I feel sorry for everyone that has to go through anything like that.

You develop a mind set known as "Zen", if you're wise enough to realize you need it. If not, you're at the mercy of your problem. It's sort of like walking a desert and willing yourself not to feel the heat. All the goofy movies showing strained head muscles in concentration are 100% the wrong way. A calm mind pushes the pain into a corner and a calm body is evident from the outside. Why waste energy? The devil goes elsewhere without power to do damage. The Peace covers adversity like thick syrup, making it all tolerable. If I really good at it I might actually will the disease to go away entirely. I wish all of us could do it. Sure would be a better world. Cool

Does Marilyn Manson even claim to be more than the modern Alice Cooper?
