I have a friend that has recently told me she was stripping to pay for college.  Her parents made a little too much money where she could not recieve financial aid.  I though she was working two waitressing jobs because she always had cash.  She told me that she had been stripping for the past six months and has made more money from this job than she has made in her last three years.  She argues that it was her only way to pay the bills.

Ok...I have been with my boyfriend for almost three years now and since we have been together i have packed on a lot of weight.  I guess i just was too comfortable with him... He always wants to eat out and I do too but i know i have a really hard time doing so.  He has only gaind about five pounds and eats like a horse...doesnt work out at all but i yo-yo diet and work out off and on and just gain weight... are there any dieters out there that have found a really good diet or weight loss plan that works well?

This great! Reading this has changed my life forever! So...by the end of the day i hope you all have bitten at least one person you love.

Girlfriend Dumped After Valentine-Candy-Related Weight Gain

I am sitting at work…and feeling a little depressed…I have just found out that I was accepted into grad school more than 2000 miles away from home.  I have also been offered two really great jobs.  And I am so confused on what I am supposed to do with my life.  If I take any of the jobs it would be great for my career.  But going to grad school has always been a dream of mine and could possibly give me more opportunities for the future.  But how does one choose?  I have a family that I will leave behind, a boyfriend of three years and a twin sister.  So for the past few days… I have felt this huge amount of pressure to make a decision and move on…but I am stuck.  And then I am thinking I have all these great opportunities there should be no reason why I am feeling so bad when there are thousands of people waiting to hear back from schools and looking for work.  Three weeks ago I was so disappointed that I could not get a job and worried that I wouldn’t get into school. Now it is all here and starting to pile up on my shoulders.  But one song that just came on my computer… has kind of lightened me up a little.  Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie, I am not sure how this helped me out of my crappy mood but some how I feel better.  So I am including the lyrics to the song so everyone can view and if you know the song sing it out loud, hey it might make you feel better.

Under Pressure by Queen & David Bowie

Um boom ba bay
Um boom ba bay
Um Um boom ba bay bay

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Um ba ba bay
Um ba ba bay
Dee day duh
Ee day duh

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Day day day
da da dup bup bup
Okay

Chippin' around
kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
Ee do bay bup
Ee do bay ba bup
Ee do bup
Bay bup
People on streets
Dee da dee da day
People on streets
Dee da dee da dee da dee da

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out!
Pray tomorrow takes me high high higher

Turned away from it all
Like the blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
Why why why?

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love give love?
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under Pressure
Under Pressure
Pressure

America the Obese

Look around you, what kind of people do you typically see?  You see Obese and Morbidly obese persons.  That’s right my friends, our country is over weight and we are only getting heavier.  There are so many reasons why we are gaining weight and so many reasons why we need to do something about it.  And for Latinos, African Americans and Native Americans the risk of Obesity and Morbid Obesity are exceptionally high and have a greater risk of getting this disease at an earlier age.
