  1. Like to inform everyone I have lost 6 lbs… YEA.. From 221 to 215.. Took abouT a month… I got 15 more to go.. I would like to thank everyone who gave me ideas on how to go about losing weight.. I have really benefited from all your ideas..

  2. RW- I’d never iron bedsheets unless I had Elle Decor coming over for a photo shoot.

    My trick for smooth sheets is to dry them alone. Usually when you put other items in the dryer they tend to bunch up into a ball and dry crinkled. If they have room to float around they usually come out pretty smooth. Plus they dry much quicker on their lonesome.

  3. Earth’s rotation is slowing down because the earth has been losing momentum over billions of years (we have a few billion more before it comes to a complete stop) and the rotation affects the water (and is also affected by the moon). They can and have measured the slowing by atomic clocks and the earth is losing about a second a century (If I remember right). The earth’s mantle is always changing because of this and your point about the earth sinking for higher ocean levels questionable. While the tectonic plates slide around as one edge goes down, it is sliding under and lifting another. The land mass isn’t changing though so that is not why the ocean levels are rising. And the tectonic plate shifting has been going on since the earth was born. Why should the shifts now be responsible for the rise in sea level? It rises when you put more water into the oceans- by glacial melting. in any case, for the science of the earth slowing down check these links:

  4. chicken, that sounds about right since that’s the first time I was there. Great place. And I love the area.

    DIBS, why am I not surprised that you were able to weave sex into the grocery store thread?!
