Why do I keep trying and why does she keep making me believe there is hope and then pulls the rug out! When will I ever learn. Keep letting myself be vulnerable, and get stomped on. Wish I had it in me to just be a bitch!!! Then maybe someone would take a chance. I am wayyyyyyyyyyyy too understanding for my own good. God I'm tired of this crap! Wish I could just "have sex" with someone. Not sure I can do that either!!! Feeling like a loser.

I see that Gemmie has pulled ahead of Diva in the number of posts.

BUT...................I think Diva is trying to make a comeback this morning.

Here we go again. Why do folks make such a big deal out of this?

*shakes head*

Is our world so small that whoever posts more on a certain day is big news?

Let it go, Bo.

State Obesity Rates for Adults
(as listed on MSN this morning)

1. Mississippi 33.8%
2. Alabama 31.6%
3. Tennessee 31.6%
4. West Virginia 31.3%
5. Louisiana 31.2%
6. Oklahoma 30.6%
7. Kentucky 30.5%
8. Arkansas 30.1%
9. South Carolina 29.9%
10. North Carolina 29.4%
10. Michigan 29.4%
12. Missouri 29.3%
13. Ohio 29.0%
13. Texas 29.0%
15. South Dakota 28.5%
16. Kansas 28.2%
17. Pennsylvania 28.1%
17. Georgia 28.1%
17. Indiana 28.1%
20. Delaware 27.9%
21. North Dakota 27.7%
22. Iowa 27.6%
23. Nebraska 27.3%
24. Alaska 26.9%
24. Wisconsin 26.9%
26. Illinois 26.6%
26. Maryland 26.6%
28. Washington 26.3%
29. Maine 25.8%
29. Arizona 25.8%
31. Nevada 25.6%
32. Virginia 25.5%
32. Minnesota 25.5%
32. New Mexico 25.5%
35. New Hampshire 25.4%
36. New York 25.1%
36. Florida 25.1%
36. Idaho 25.1%
39. Oregon 25.0%
39. Wyoming 25.0%
41. California 24.4%
42. New Jersey 23.9%
43. Montana 23.5%
44. Utah 23.2%
45. Rhode Island 22.9%
46. Vermont 22.8%
47. Hawaii 22.6%
48. Massachusetts 21.7%
49. D.C. 21.5%
50. Connecticut 21.4%
51. Colorado 19.1%

The report revealed these key findings:

For the sixth year in a row, Mississippi topped the scales. A 33.8 percent rate of adult obesity made the Magnolia state the worst in the nation.
Tied for second were Alabama and Tennessee, followed respectively by West Virginia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arkansas and South Carolina.
North Carolina tied the only Northern state to make the top ten—Michigan—for tenth place in terms of highest levels of adult obesity, with a rate of 29.4 percent.

Mississippi was also worst for obesity among children aged 10-17, with a whopping 21.9 percent of children being seriously overweight.
Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and Arkansas were all in the top ten for childhood as well as adult obesity—but Oklahoma, Michigan, and the Carolinas were replaced here by Illinois, Texas, Georgia and, oddly, Washington, D.C.

The states who fared best on adult obesity are concentrated in the north and west, with Colorado, Connecticut and Washington D.C. leading the pack, followed by Massachusetts, Hawaii, Vermont, Rhode Island, Utah, Montana and New Jersey. While it may seem unusual that D.C. would be in the top ten best places for adult obesity and ten worst for children, because it is really a city not a state, it’s hard to make truly reliable comparisons.

One state! ONE! Just one state that is under 20% and that is only barely. And, my goodness, 21.9% of kids 10-17 obese in MS. Well, as my home state, that does not surprise me. It just makes me very, very sad.

violaine · 07-15-2010, 04:58 PM

i came home today and saw my neighbour standing outside with someone, and they mentioned the gas company was en route to our address. the meter read 4.5 times the amount of acceptable carbon monoxide levels inside of his place. luckily for him, the woman outside with him, happened to drop over for a visit - but she found him on the sofa very tired. she said her head hurt immediately upon entering his apartment, and my apartment, upstairs, also read a little high on the meter, and was climbing. i'd been away all day, and i think about my neighbour, and the guinea pigs- if the woman would not have stopped over.

the gas company man said the hot water heater inside the apartment of my neighbour was tipped, ready to fall, and it would have done enormous water line and gas damage- were the situation not caught in time. he also told us that my neighbour was in a deadly situation.

sad thing- the neighbour contacted mgmt for help earlier in the day regarding his water heater, as it wasn't 'acting right', and the maintenance guy passed it as being fine to the building owner.

i hope everyone has a carbon monoxide detector, and checks the batteries on a regular basis. i do, and the level had not reached high enough to trigger it-

i think we should go to one of those "spas" that let you take a bath in chocolate....i would seriously love to be in a tub up to my neck in chocolate right now. Which tells me how off i am, cause usually when someone mentions bathing in chocolate all i can think is "omg what a waste of chocolate!!"

for you, Jo

For all her wealth and exposure to different cultures, creeds, lifestyles, etc...I find her very unaware in general. I like her and I certainly don't think she harbors any ill will towards our community or others that she is not well versed on, but she appears very conservative at heart to me.
