    Reese Witherspoon is a female example. She was in "Legally Blond" and then in "Walk the Line."

    Revitalization of Towns?

    Whew! That is an entire area of specialty within community planning. I think dissertations have been written on the subject lol My area of specialty is rural type planning, so I will pass. This should be a very interesting discussion. Just to double check, when you said "lost cost" did...

    has anyone else had this happen to them?

    Zaika, that is a very interesting view on tipping, that I hadn't ever thought of before. Food for thought, hehe

    has anyone else had this happen to them?

    Perhaps the information I was given from the places I worked was off, then, which is highly possible. I haven't ever heard that 10% is the minimum, I always heard 15%. I apologize if the information I shared was off. I only worked as a server a couple of summers in college, so I am not an...

    has anyone else had this happen to them?

    This is :offtopic: This is a plea to people to please remember your wait staff work for tips, that is the primary way they earn their money. Even if you have had poor service, please don't ever stiff the wait staff. Talk to a manager and get a free meal. And if the kitchen is slow getting...

    Skinny Jeans: Do you have a pair?

    What a funny topic. When I went from a size 8 to a size 10, I decided to get rid of all my 8's. I was happy with my weight gain, and decided to keep my new size. I donated all my 8's to Goodwill, including my jeans. Of course, the jeans from HS were 6's, I was an adolescent stick!

    Fake Melons

    I'm sorry to hear that! I was given such a hard time about my height that I decided it was something to be proud of, so I stood tall and wore heels :) It was a great way to weed out guys. If they weren't self confidant enough to date a tall girl, then they weren't worth my time. I actually...

    How does a girl keep warm?

    I wear a lot of classic, wide leg pants in the winter. Under pants and with ankle length skits, I often wear footless tights, as my office is usually chilly. I bought them in dance supply stores, but it is handy that they have been "fashionable" lately. They are also great for under my wool...

    Goldleaf's Great News...and some buying advice!

    Bonnie - thanks for that :) As hard as I try not to get caught up in materialism and consumerism, it still gets me sometimes. This whole industry geared toward infants and the high end, expensive, designer baby gear and furniture bombards a new mom from every magazine. Its hard to remain...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Bella - you are stunning, truly! You look amazing! Fleur - you seem to have a similar face shape to Bella's, so I think that style would look quite becoming on you! Lyburnum - your pincurls were adorable! Other ladies will probably know better, but I think setting lotion would help.

    Goldleaf's Great News...and some buying advice!

    Miss Dottie, I do hope you will be doing your baby knitting, too! I know it has been a long road for you as well. I can relate to how hard each month must be, I hope that what ever has been standing in your way gets a move on soon! I actually don't have a nursery ::sigh:: We live in a small...

    Motherhood & the Vintage Lifestyle

    I didn't understand women's gripes with maternity clothes until I had to wear the same pair of pants 2 or 3 times in a week. I have one casual pair of pants for the weekend. It wasn't bad while I could still make my pre-maternity clothes fit and include them in the mix, but nothing fits now...

    Was the first trimester tough on you? Mine was so easy I shouldn't say anything, I don't want to rub it in, hehehe ;) lol

    Goldleaf's Great News...and some buying advice!

    Miss Dottie asked about how my pregnancy is going in the "Show us what you made thread" and I didn't want to hijack the thread :) Miss Dottie, it is going quite well, thanks! I am 30 weeks today, so only 10 more weeks to go. I am due the 3rd of January. Boy the time has gone by fast! I...

    Show us what you've made!

    The Homecoming Outfit This is the first thing I have made that I think is worthy of showing. This is the sweater and hat the baby will come home in. This is also the first garment I knit and had to piece together. I learned how to knit on double point needles for the hat. I am pretty darn...

    Fake Melons

    LadyDeWinter - I am glad that you didn't feel that way. Perhaps the clothes are also cut to reflect our culture's preference for larger busted women? I wonder if it is a difference between our countries? Or, perhaps, it was just that I was very self conscious, and saw things that weren't...
