A SuperTarget recently opened up near me, two exits down from the regular Target. SuperTarget rocked in the Toys section- new Clone Wars vehicles galore but not much in the figures area. Regular Target still has Jango Fett Kamino warming the pegs.

Ive known since I was a teenager that I do not want to be a parent. I don't have much patience for children (especially brats or other badly-behaved kids) and am rather uncomfortable around them. I never know what to say or do with them. Perhaps it is because I did not grow up with kids younger than me around.  But I digress....

My husband and  I have been blissfully kid-free for 5 years, but ever since his sister had a baby this year, the subject keeps creeping into our conversations. I think he's changed his mind about kids, but knows I don't want any so he doesnt push the topic too hard.

Sometimes, after watching :"Adoption Story" or "Family Story" on the Discovery Channel,  I catch myself thinking, "How bad could it be?" and then I see the neighbor's uncontrollable, noisy and destructive brats and think, "That bad!"

I believe my biological clock is wired backwards.

May I suggest starting off small for your first tattoo, and maybe placing it where you don't need to worry about future dress codes...? This way you can also find out if you like the idea of being inked and want further work done....

I've got 6 tats so far...I started small and inconspicuous as I didn't know where I'd wind up in the career field. These days I pretty much know I will never wear a suit to a job and my art has gotten bigger.

Next up is some kind of SW-related tattoo but I am waiting until after Ep3 to get it. That way I've the whole SW saga to choose from.

Thanks for the input everyone.

A quick count got me to 21 Ep1, 11 POTJ and 26 Sagas.
All are MIMB and never opened. There are store exclusives and 2-packs included in that count. If I got a good enough offer I'd sell everything including the more HTF items.

I would think $15 is a good avergage price, as there's probably some worth more and some worth less, it all evens out in the end.

Had a great trade with Emporer Zuckuss, always a smooth transaction.

My doc knows about the tyrosene, and I've been keeping an eye on stuff (pulse, blood pressure) while trying it. No side effects yet, but I am taking the smallest dose (500mg) right now.

I was extrememly active (martial arts, skating, lifting) until about a year ago, when I started feeling run down and tired all the time.  I chalked it up to "getting older" and my weight steadily creeped up from 135 to 150.
While I'm not "fat" the extra weight did bother me, because my clothes started fitting tighter and I just didn't feel good. I t to the doctor, who did some tests, and I found out I am allergic to a bunch of foods- wheat, soy, corn, peanuts, and to a lesser extent milk. And since all those ingredients are in every day food (who knew there was corn in Rice Krispies?) I was basicaly gorging myself on allergens, which makes one's systems very tired. So I eliminated all that stuff from my diet and felt a little better, but still tired, and the weight stayed the same.
More tests. Now I've found I have hypothyroidism, which shed light on many things. I've started taking replacement thyroid hormones but haven't gotten to the point where my thyroid functions correctly yet. It's a slow process.

I read a book called "The Mood Cure" and it suggested I try "tyrosene", which is an amino acid. I've only been on it a week and already I feel a difference. I don't feel like napping at work, and my appetite has decreased slightly. I am hoping that when I've taken it for a little while my energy will be back up to my previous levels and I will want to hit the gym more often.

So the moral of this story is: if you previously were active and are now feeling sluggish, I would recommend asking your doctor for a thyroid function blood test. Hypothyroidism is quite common but often undiagnosed.
