Next time buy a cheaper car you can get for cash or lower monthly payments that just looks money (there are such things, people are frequently fooled by my car.) And that way, you can afford to buy the dinner for your gigolos, who will then, one hopes, act as proper gigolos and be good in bed.

Nested footnotes! You're a keen one, Mr. Grinch.

I'm afraid your fastidious footnoting has negated that negation in your status line, you pedant, you.

Her physique reminds me of an endurance athlete, marathoners, cyclists, etc. They are very fit, not strong and bulked up. She doesn't look unhealthy to me.

Look at her arms in the picutre I posted (and her legs). Her arms have that ropy look where the muscles show but not in a buff kinda way- like the social xrays of NYC. And her legs look like Calista Flockhart. Dont forget she is five eleven and was 123 BEFORE she lost the weight.

The fact that she got knocked out of the French in the second round to someone who had just gone pro points to the fact that she is sick. That was a huge upset. Wimbledon will be a little better for her bc the points are much shorter and her play time can probably be under an hour if she is lucky. I bet she doesnt go past the third or maybe fourth round. I should look at her draw.

Yes, that it what I mean. My physique was very close to Daniela--did not look good in a swimsuit and had no TITS! I was not "healthy" (did not menstruate for six years, after doing so for two) but had enviable stamina. I ran at least 8 miles every day, plus an hour of stairmaster (this was a "normal day"), and on "training days" (three days per week) would run 15-20 miles. Year round. I do not believe that I was all that unique.

Edited to add that I limited myself to 1,000-1,500 per day.

ABBA. the other day you said you had apples and diet coke for lunch. THat is the classic anorexic lunch. And dont forget that anorexics may run like crazy bc they are anorexic-bulimic and that is a purge for them. Did you run to get thin or were you thin bc you ran?

She plays a Japanese chick I never heard of in the next round and then the tiny Amanda Coetzer in the third round. Japanese players never look like a Williams sister and Amanda is about five one. That is a very good draw for Daniella. At least she wont be having to return power so she could make it to the fourth round where Lindsay Davenport should crush her (assuming her injury doesnt bother her). If Daniella is healthy, she shoud be able to at least have a chance agasinst Davenport bc all you have to do is hit the ball far away from Davenport and the big moose with the bad foot has trouble getting to it. But if Daniella is sick, she wont have the juice to handle Davenport's power.

Of course, I was wrong at every turn during the French so the Japanese chick could take her out.

And I was so proud of being able to do 30 minutes on the cross-trainer. Now I feel like a complete and utter wuss.

Very funny last night when the host told Rob about the $$ and he sat there stiffly with the monotone voiceover "it sort of makes me question their motives..." Really? You think? He really is a cracker-jack lawyer with those analytical skills!

SO and I have split on who we think the revelation hurts. I say Erin b/c she obviously has not been interested in kissing him, so he might get that she really doesn't like him. SO says Kelly b/c she is so about being "classy" and Rob might think that the $$ is really important to her.

Does he ever speak with other than a monotone drone? Every time I hear him speak, he sounds like he's drugged out on some sleeping pill and can't really open his mouth to speak.

I'm sure he'll make a great oral advocate one day. Like the partner who grabs the associate's draft oral argument and proceeds to read it to the court.

Call me crazy, but that sounds like anorexia to me. Maybe I don't have a good understanding of the disease, but it seems to me that you were not eating like any marathoners I know. Putting aside the lack of menstruation (which is indeed normal for most female athletes), I don't understand how a person could train at such a high level, eat so little, and not consider that an eating disorder. Moreover, I have an even harder time understanding how the body can perform at that level with so little food for such a prolongued period of time.

I did consider that an eating disorder. I was pointing out that one can still be highly functioning athletically *with* an eating disorder. See also Ballerinas.

I ran to get thin and as a cover. Same reason why I was vegetarian--easier to not have to eat things. It was a long time ago now though.

Anybody on the board have a dog with highly sensitive skin/allergies? The real robust pup is super sensitive, he's allergic to flea bites and apparently to certain flea control products, I can't seem to keep him comfortable and I'd welcome any advice via PM or email (robustpuppy@yahoo.com).

Thanks.

Ah, the ole Plot Twist is gonna kick in next week. It should be the most shocking rose ceremony yet. I venture that the amazing ladies will find out that the show is For Love OR Money NOT For Love AND Money which seems to be the impression they are under. That's more of a clarification to me than a plot twist but whatever.

How sickening is the whole Paige-Rob dynamic? She is clearly too young to appreciate what a scumbag this guy is. Or too dumb or some combo of both. And how can he be schmeckin with someone he considered too young for him? Its all so very Humbert Humbert, and that monotone doesnt make it any less creepy. I think he can really be his ole misogynistic self again- if the money makes him think the women are just using him like whores, then he can unabashedly test them and humiliate them again. "HEy Paige! Wanna take my cowboy boots off? Turn around, honey. Yeah, that's nice . . . Bend over for daddy."

Which gal was the cowboy boot remover again?

I think it was the blond who he eliminated this week. She would have been gone anyway next week since it was clear they had no chemistry and she wasn't skilled at faking interest. But maybe not without another boot removal butt viewing...

Edited to add spoiler space...

Apples and oranges-no pun intended-nttawwt. I was giving ABBA props for her athleticnessous and the DDs props as the unofficial eighth wonders of the world that they are.

One type I would like to get sweaty with and the other I would like to get sweaty with. See the difference?
