    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    Could be, but I don't live in the mountains, where they get a lot more snow. But just in case, I'm keeping some plastic pots handy to protect the tomatoes.

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    Last night, I planted the tomatoes I grew from seed. I'm fairly certain it's stopped snowing for the season.

    Who Did You Just See Live?

    I saw David Booker's band last night. Mostly, I wanted to get out of the house, but he has a new singer, and I have to admit she seems to have breathed new life into the band. I think they've even added to their repertoire, and the rest of the band sounded better than I remember.

    Does your lipstick have to match your nail color?

    I paint my toenails medium pink, wear dark pink lip gloss, and wear nothing on my nails. So, nothing matches. Haven't gotten any funny looks so far.

    What flower is Rita Wearing?

    The stamens and petals look like those of a daylily. It looks like one or two petals have been removed. Here's a magnolia up close: And a daylily:

    Miss USA Pageant?

    I haven't watched a pageant in decades, but I don't remember the contestants being stick-thin. I don't think the televised pageants I've seen are about real anything.

    Miss USA Pageant?

    At the large CPA firm where I work, one the partners, whom I like and respect very much, won a Miss Something-or-other pageant in her younger days. Heaven knows where she'd be today without that.

    Miss USA Pageant?

    Ha! A daughter of mine would have grown up too close to the train tracks for all of that. Even the horses my family once owned didn't get by on their good looks.

    Miss USA Pageant?

    I'd hope that a daughter of mine would spend more of her time developing qualities that don't depreciate as rapidly as youthful good looks.

    Weight loss options

    Yes, starchy food is a lot cheaper than meat, and ordering out can bust a budget. But I find that I'm a lot less hungry when I cut way down on starchy, sugary carbs. It's OK to eat cheaper, fattier meat, too. The protein powder I buy is only 40 cents a scoop--a pretty good deal.

    Weight loss options

    My mother is in the same boat. She's also in a wheelchair and diabetic, so my father fixes her meals and her health greatly depends on eating a low-carb diet. I've told her the next time Dad fixes high-carb junk for her, call Pizza Hut and order wings.

    Weight loss options

    The paleo diet (the diet our very fit hunter-gatherer ancestors were on before they invented farming) is the most sensible diet there is, IMO. But as you said, it's hard to be that sensible all the time. I think a lot of people do paleo diets for health reasons other than weight loss.

    Retro=Frumpy?

    ^I see women my age still sporting hairdos from 1987. There's retro, there's vintage, and then there's stuck-in-your-high-school-years.

    Weight loss options

    According to what I've read, birth control pills may cause weight gain.

    Weight loss options

    Scruff, please don't loathe yourself for putting on weight. The human body is designed to store fat, and we have evolved to enjoy eating food that's sweet, salty and fatty. And a person can be fit and have some extra pounds. I've never had a gastric band, but I have recently lost weight...

    Are we LYING about our dresses???

    Re: good cut or bad cut, doesn't it depend on whether it fits you? Most vintage doesn't fit me, so it's vintage-inspired for me.
