I love reading your thoughts! I hate to ask a question because I know you may not have the time or desire to jump into another discussion, but...do you have any wisdom to share regarding swimsuits and sports outfits such as tennis skirts, etc. I was raised wonderfully straight-laced but have loosened up a bit and am wondering if maybe I've loosened up a bit too much. Anyway, I would just love any of your family's comments, if possible. Thanks again. You really inspire me. :) Rachel/Lizzie, thanks for taking the time to post. I love reading your thoughts!

It's definitely geared to the serious blog reader--lots of bells and whistles. :) It bugged me, so I took a look at Google Reader.

I don't remember if there is a way to have them send you e-mails, as I just go to Blogger and check when I get a chance, kind of like sitting down with a magazine for a quick read. You can adjust settings to your preferred level of privacy. Blogger is free, and the blogging site I'm most familiar with. I've seen a lot of people out there with wordpress for their blogs, and they might have a similar platform. I have a friend who uses Goodle reader as Valerie mentioned, but I have no idea how that works. My friend uses it more for sharing posts she finds interesting rather than actually following a blog. Google Blogger does not need to be tied to a Gmail acct. God bless! Emily Mrs. RBC, you can set up a profile with Google Blogger, then follow the links to set up blogs you’d like to follow.

That might help folks provide a specific answer. Mrs. RBC, what e-mail platform do you use (Gmail, Outlook, ???). That might help folks provide a specific answer.

Looks like it was about 12 hours, Nancy! If you have a feed reader such as Google Reader, I believe you can enter the blog's feed address (http://www.feminagirls.com/feed/) and have it send you e-mails. I don't use a feed reader, so perhaps someone else can provide more specific advice. Hehe! Looks like it was about 12 hours, Nancy!

What the artist did was to take the lyrics of modern songs and put them to 40's type music. My mother's two favorite songs were van Halen's Jump and that big hit of Nirvana's. She was somewhat dumbfounded when I played the original versions for her. The music matters. A couple years ago, I bought my mother a cd by Paul Anka or Neil Sedaka, I forget who.

Probably 90% of them had tattoos covering their bodies. They were all walking through the waterpark, holding hands with their cute toddlers, and I was thinking, the only way left for these kids to rebel is to NOT get a tattoo! Recently in France it has become stylish for women NOT to go topless anymore, but to cover up. Maybe when a culture goes so far down the road the only place left to go is to turn around!
