Vonage is that digital phone company that you see a million commercials for..they use the 5678's "woo hoo" song from Kill Bill during the advert. it's on like 15 times a day. It's $25 a month, unlimited long disctace call including the UK. YOU should get it!
I'm a production designer and composer for the film/tv business. I have been doing research the last few days so I'm online at odd hours. I notice you are a songwriter too...yet another similarity! Do you have a MySpace?

Vonage isn't signing up new customers at the moment. They are being sued for patent infringement and the judge put a halt on new customers while they are trying to figure out the enforcement of the financial stuff. So Vonage may be going under.. MAY.
AT&T Call Vantage is another option (I think this is what it's called) you need to have high speed internet access because the voice is carried over the internet connection.

WOW! That's crazy! And yet...they still run the ads in every commercial break!! I have been a customer for like 3 years. It's really great.
AT&T has one...so does Time Warner Cable..it seems that most the high speed internet providers are offering digitsl phone service alonside their cable plan these days.
However, I hope Vonage stays put...I really like the service!!
And then...there's always Skype!!!

Hey, well I haven't weighed 115 since the begining of high school.. which I don't know if I was still growing then so I would be happy with 123 thats what I was when I graduated. but anyway.. I am 5'1 .5 and very petite but big boobs lol so they probably weigh the most.. and of course i dont loose there first.. its my legs and i dont have a problem with my legs. I know I can do it.. but I've been nervous this week because I've gained 2 pounds and I dont understand why. I've been eating great and exercising! My body feels good.. but my clothes dont fit any better .... my fiance thinks its muscle.. but i dont see it. I am taking my 1 month photo next wed. so we'll see what that shows! Thanks!!!!

Okay I read everything! WOW we've got twins getting married wow.. craziness!! Anyway I'm back.. its been crazy with my new position at work and i work out for an hour after work. But thats the important thing, right? I am on day number 23 and have worked out 16 out of the 23! So.. I feel so good but havent really seen a big change it clothing/weight (lost 6lbs) I guess its the healthy way to loose.. You two have very beautiful weddings coming up.. wish I could come!

Hey Blair!
Thanks for the info! Your job sounds so glamarous- I'm EXTREMELY jealous
You'll be in Manhatten for all of July? It's a date! I'm working until mid-July due to my dire financial situation thanks to my lovely MA loans, but one of my best mates from Ireland is coming over in late July [my birthday is the 31st] and we're going to be going to NYC and Boston [half of my friends are in boston since i went to school there] so we'll DEFINITELY meet up- Yay!!!I wish I could go to the city more often but its just so expensive when you factor in hotel costs, etc. Are you going there in July on holiday or for work?
I've been writing lyrics for years but the 'putting the lyrics to music' side of songwriting as been a slow process, hence why I'm learning guitar at the present- I'm trying to write Andrew a song but I'm not sure if i'll have it done in time!
Dreary, miserable day again here- we're supposed to get more snow! I don't want to even ask how beautiful it is in CA! I've never been to California but I've always wanted to
Some time, some way- Hope you have a fabulous day- tell me more about what you do; I'm intrigued! xo

Hey yoga booty [is there another name you'd prefer I refer to you as
]!It takes at least 6-8 weeks to really start seeing the muscle mass you've been building through exercise so don't get discouraged~! What are you doing for exercise-cardio, weight training,etc. Perhaps I could provide you with a bit of insight for fitness tips as I've been working out my entire life it feels like!
You don't want to lose more than 1.5 pounds a week, as any bigger loss is really difficult to maintain so you're definitely on the right track! And despite how frustrating it is, your fiance is right- as you build muscle your legs, in particular, may appear to either remain the same or expand a bit- be sure to balance your weight training with a lot of cardio to burn the fat. They suggest to train 3 days a week and do cardio at least 5 days- I usually do 20-25 minutes of cardio on my weight training days and 35-40 minutes on my alternating cardio days, taking two days off a week to allow my body to rest. Be sure you do take days off in between to allow your muscles to recooperate! What is your eating plan like?
When is your wedding date again!? I love, love weddings- i can't seem to stop talking about them! Have a great day!
I wish I had a wedding dress. ... I would keep it and pass it along to my future daughter or other relative.. Or make a baby outfit out of it for Easter or to take the baby home.

I couldnt agree more! My wedding dress cost more than I had planned but I justified the indulgence as it would be a lifetime investment. Ideally, I will someday have a daughter who will be open to wearing her Mum's dress!
Makes me sad reading all of your wedding plans. We were married with a JP and 2 witnesses in Minnesota in a house we were renting. No family, no friends, no photos. no reception. =(

Aw..that is sad! Why not renew your vows with a big celebration? Some of my family friends did that and had a beautiful celebration!! It's never too late to have the wedding of your dreams

I do want to do something eventually, maybe at our 10 year anniversary--we are heading toward our 7th--and if we do, I know I won't be spending a TON of money, but between us we have 10 brothers and sisters, 4 sets of parents, 13 nieces and nephews, not to mention the aunts/uncles/friends.. it'll be huge.

You should definitely do something HUGE- If nothing else, overcompensate for the minimalist option you chose before
It could be even better than the real wedding [if that is at all possible]!You have 'inherited' a lot of family! That is going to be the case with me as well, as although I have a quite small family, Andrew's is ceaseless! I wonder if I'll ever be able to meet them all! Hope you had a great day

Hey! You can call me Heather.. thats my name
I'm getting married in one year on May 24th so.. very excited!! But still taking it slow. I mostly do cardio.. for about 40min 5x week and then yoga stregnth training 25 min 2x week.. what do you think? I feel great! But I don't see anything major.. but I know it takes time.. I'm really into this now.. its day 23 and its just part of the norm now. It really helps me calm down from the work day and helps me sleep better. but i've found this week I have been having headaches in the afternoon. I uped my protein intake.. but i dont know if that makes a difference.

I think the cardio sounds great- what does your strength training look like? You should really shoot for doing strength/resistance training 3x a week- what is that routine like? You can probably take the cardio down if you need to to compensate for the time- Try not to lose patience- fat loss takes time unfortunately
Congrats on the wedding

Wedding problemo Numero five million
So, I get home at 3:30am last night after a long and exhaustive night of bartending to find the STRANGEST message on my computer- I felt obligated to invite all of "the girls" to the wedding- there were 12 of us that comprised one group in high school and while I speak to 2/3 regularly, the others and I no longer have a connection. Nevertheless, out of social obligation, I invited all of them to the wedding, 110% certain none of them could or would want to come.
So, the shock I endured after coming home to a message that read 'Hi, just wanted to let you know my boyfriend and I will be coming to your wedding; Congrats by the way' is comparable to none. It wasnt the message but the person who wrote it that enraged and shocked the hell out of me. You see, within this group of girls, there were three of us that were 'super close, best friends'. The reality of the situation was that they were assholes who treated me like shit and made my life a living hell- but for reasons beyond my understanding, I called them 'best friends' and allowed them tro trample all over me. As time has progressed, I distanced myself from them, as I was no longer willing to be a doormat for them to use at their discretion. One of them, "S", and I have kept in touch a bit over the years but "J" and i [the one who left the message] HAVE NOT. I have not seen, spoken or heard one word from her since Last May at "S"'s wedding. So, when she leaves me this bloody message that she's in fact COMING to my wedding, I was so upset. None of my friends like her. My family doesnt like her. And I feel virtual resentment toward her- I just shouldnt ahve felt obligated to invite her... But honestly, she doesnt speak to me and I KNOW she doesnt really care about me- While I rarely speak poorly of anyone, I can honestly say that this girl is extremely cold-hearted and has spoken poorly behind my back for years. WHY DOES SHE EVEN WANT TO COME TO MY WEDDING!?
So, this is my present ordeal. I just don't believe any of this.
