BTW, Lisa and Nancy, I sent copies of your posts about children to my kids. I cracked up when I read them. I read Lisa's post to Arleen and she broke up. :lol::lol::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Off topic, but I found an interesting article today:
"Are you moms out there struggling with how to tell your young kids about plastic surgery? Don't snicker.
Well, if your surgery is happening after this Mother's Day, then Florida plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer has just the thing for you!
On that special all-about-Mommy day, he's releasing a 'kid's book' - My Beautiful Mommy - featuring a perky Mommy explaining to her child why she's having cosmetic surgery. Mom's gonna get a tummy tuck, a nose job and breast implants!
This is not a joke. This book is really going to be out soon!
Before her surgery the mom explains to her little girl that she is getting a smaller tummy: "You see, as I got older, my body stretched and I couldn't fit into my clothes anymore. Dr. Michael (the author's homage to himself?) is going to help fix that and make me feel better."
"Mom" comes home looking like a slightly bruised Barbie doll with demure bandages on her nose and around her waist.
The text, unfortunately, doesn't mention the breast augmentation, but the illustrations intentionally show Mom's breasts to be fuller and higher.
Dr. Michael the author explains, "I tried to skirt that issue in the text itself. The tummy lends itself to an easy explanation to the children: extra skin and can't fit into your clothes. The breasts might be a stretch for a six-year-old."
The report also points out that the book doesn't explain exactly why the mother is redoing her nose either. Nonetheless, Mom reassures her little one that the new nose won't just look "different, my dear—prettier!"
Naturally, the ending is happy. Mommy is "even more" beautiful than before, and her daughter is thrilled."

Take your time and try on lots of different styles and sizes, Suzanne. What strikes your fancy at first may not be the one you end up with.

Yes, and she didn't want to be friends anymore after that.:thumbsdowWhich is really okay, because she was a little odd.... she took pictures of her freshly dead cat with her new kittens climbing around and sniffing on him, which she thought was so tender. :thinking: You know, I'm glad we moved away shortly thereafter, because she may have decided next that she'd like to have a picture of her freshly-dead neighbor... (she really was kind of a psycho!)

Then again, living on a diet of Cheetos, chicken nuggets, and Hi-C might do that to someone.

She got hers, though - caught her husband cheating on her (he'd take his new, female coworker to lunch and they'd do it in his car - not doing lunch, that is, but doing the other thing...) and they divorced. He was probably greatly relieved. Truth is stranger than fiction!

OK....I admit. I pick them up, but if you ever hear me saying "Awwwww..." shoot me, please...or at least arrange to have me banned !!! :rofl::dummy::dummy:

There are SO many features and options available on the Datejusts, for example, and you can get the Datejust in 26mm, 31mm or 36mm. Then there's the 34mm Date. There's also a trend toward larger watches on women, even the full-size 40mm sports watches, like Karis (KCMO), and The Other Lisa (watchlady)have.

Have fun shopping and keep us posted during your search!
