Here are some things that really make me mad when a girl gets in a relationship. My friend and I were discussing it over email and I thought it was worthy of a post. So here is our list (not in any particular order).
1. When girls all of a sudden have ZERO personality when they start dating a guy and everything is now about HIM and what HE wants to do.
2. When girls are attached at the hip with their significant other. It is like you think he is going to leave you if you don't spend every waking minute with him.
3. When girls ditch their own friends and all of a sudden HIS friends are YOUR friends and your friends are left to hang out and wait to see you until after you guys break-up.
4. When girls bring a date to girls night outs.
5. This relates to #1 but when the girl can't make any decisions without the input of her guy. It is one thing when you are making a joint decision (ie buying a car, house) but when you have to ask him if you can do X or what you should order at a restaurant - it is just annoying and results in #1.
I am sure there are more but those are the biggies that we discussed. Feel free to comment and add your own things that annoy you.

Do you hate going through all those automated phone systems?
This is from my friend Bob but I thought it was important to share with the rest of the cyber world. Every annoyed when you call your bank, mortgage company, or any other business and you just want to talk to someone and can't seem to press the magic key to get a person? Well, here is
Coke's new drink - Enviga
So Coke is coming out with a drink, Enviga, that supposedly helps burn calories. They do have a disclaimer that says the drink should not be used as a weight loss substitute. Of coures diet and exercise are the best methods to lose weight. Also, this article it shows how many Envigas you must drink to burn off say a Coke - well it is 7 cans of Envigas which will cost you $9.42 (at $1.29 a can). That is craziness. It looks like a drink that belongs in the Red Bull family based on the size and shape of the can.
On a related note...someone recently told me that the caramel coloring used in diet drinks (like Diet Coke, Diet Dr Pepper, any brown colored diet drink) actually slows down your metabolism so you should drink clear diet drinks like Diet Sprite, Diet Mountain Dew, etc. I tried researching this on the internet and couldn't find anything about caramel coloring slowing metabolism. If anyone knows if this is a myth or not, please let me know.

Too Thin in Hollywood
Sunday I was watching Jerry Maguire on TV and noticed the Renee Zellweger looks quite healthy in this movie. Then I thought that she actually looks closer to her Bridget Jones' self which is suppose to be about a fat person who is struggling to be thin. Then I thought about Renee in Chicago and how everyone thought that was the healthy Renee. even though to me she looked super skinny. (I tried to post in all the pics of Renee from these movies but couldn't do it so if you are interested, please look at her pics using all the movie links. )
You wonder why young girls and women in general have such a messed up view of their bodies. Seems that actresses succumb to being thin once they make it big in hollywood. Another example is Felicty Huffman. Look at her in Season 1 of Desperate Housewives and look at her now in Season 3. I even read an article where she said that she felt the pressure to loose weight because she always had people measuring her for wardrobe. At least Felicity can contribute some of her new looks to her new running regimen.

We Just Want a Little Romance
I think Meredith on Grey's Anatomy has it right - we women just want to be romanced. We want to feel special, we want to be taken out to dinner, we want to be told that we are beautiful. We don't want it to be a competition, we don't want it to be just about the physical. We want a connection. I wish I could find the dialog from Thursday's episode online so I could post it here. I realized tonight, that dating has stopped being romantic and I don't know why and when it happened. There is no romance these days only bad dates and one night stands. There needs to be more. We as women need to demand more from our dates. We need to have respect for ourselves and demand romance. Call me, woo me, date me. Bring a flower to the door, pick me up at the door and not just blow your horn, call to see how my day is going, email me to say why you like me and that you enjoy spending time with me, give me a card for no reason, make me feel special, take me out to more than dinner and a movie...I want to find my guy who I say "I want to sit across from you at breakfast for the rest of my life."

LLQ Reincarnated
This is for my friend Jeff - a repost of my Log of Lost Questions with his answers from the comments. Plus new answers based on the season premiere and of course more new questions! Jeff's comments in blue, mine in pink. Also, here are two blogs about LOST that you may find helpful - Lost Mysteries and Lost Answers.
1. How is Hurly going to find the camp? - Hurley isn't a tracker, I think he is going to get lost.
Who say's he will? Besides, isn't he already "lost"? Can you get lost when you already are? Jin and Sayid should be nearby to help him...
2. How does Desmond's girlfriend know that she need to look for a magnetic force in order to find Desmond? Maybe she doesn't know the two are connected, so if that is the case, why is she tracking big magnetic fields?
There are thoughts that Desmond's girlfriend's dad is the head of hanso foundation. Remember, she said early to Desmond in the final episode flashback, when you have money you can find anything. She probably knows her dad sent desmond off to the island and she has ideas on how to find him.
3. Are Mr Eko, Desmond, and John dead? - I hope not! I would like to see Desmond as a new character.
I hope not...I doubt they would kill off 3 major characters like that...maybe 1 or 2 of them tho. I'm guessing Desmond survives..he has quickly become a key character...
4. What's up with the people in Russia? - Maybe they are responsible for the polar bears.
i think the experiements on the island are probably responsible for the bears
Looks like the bears may have been in the cages that Sawyer and Kate are in now based on the Others comment about the bear figuring out how to get food in 2 hrs while it took Sawyer all day.
5. Is the "What does one polar bear say to another polar bear?" code for something?
most definitely
6. What's up with the wierdo Hanso Foundation commerial and the even wierder websites that they refer you to?
its part of the new interactive experience that they are trying to create. at least they are trying to be original
I read a posting on the message board that said the writers should focus less on the interactive stuff and more on the plot. I would agree! They also said to stop the flashbacks but I rather like those.
7. If the key destroyed the machine where you have to enter the code every 108 mins, how did that help? - Now nothing is keeping the magnet from discharging. I think I may have missed something about the whole key thing.
im not sure the point of the key was to simply destroy the machine. it probably is intended to destroy something else so the machine isnt necessary anymore.
8. Did Libby's husband's death cause her to go crazy? Was she crazy before or after she met Desmond?
i'm not sure libby was ever crazy. she may be an employee of hanso foundation who has a hand in picking people to come to the island..or something like that
9. Was the companion in the hatch, Katie's Dad (also Sayid's trainer)? - This is from my co-worker.
i think he was the head army guy who let Sayid go..dont know about kate's dad
10. Will Walt and Michael really be rescued? - They can't be off the show because we still know nothing about Walt's powers.
have to wait for that one
11. If the "Others" are good, why do they have people tied up?
don't think we really know if they are good or not yet. the others have definitly killed people...cant imagine there are often good reasons for that
12. What's up with the "Other's" costumes?
no clue
13. What will they do with Kate, Sawyer, and Jack? And what was that look between Kate and Jack? Love?
no clue...the look implied they were up to something and had a plan..and sawyer's look implied he didnt know what they were up to
Based on the premiere, all 3 are in cages and being held prisoner. I think Kate will pick Jack. Does the Jack-Kate-Sawyer triangle remind anyone else of the McDreamy-Meredith-Finn triangle on Grey's?
14. What is that mysterious black smoke in the jungle?
good question
15. What is that underground machine in the jungle?
don't remember which underground machine u are referring to
Remember the machine that tried to suck John down in the ground but whoever he was with stopped it someone. John was all like "let the machine take me and I will see what is down the deep dark hole" but the other character saved him from that.
16. Why did Jack think that the "Others" would attack them if they didn't follow Michael into their trap? - They could have just gone back to the beach.
sometimes even doctors arent the smartest people in the world.
17. What was that bright light and noise? Did it bring down "another plane"? - Maybe we will have "other plane people" next seaon.
no clue...possible
18. Why do we still watch this show? - It is about nothing really.
why did we watch seinfeld for 10 years. its entertaining.
19. What's up with that combo of numbers? - 4 8 15 16 23 42
no clue
Based on some of the interactive stuff on the internet, the numbers are related to an equation on how to sustain life. These are the factors in the equation but not sure what the variables are.
20. What brought this group to the island? How are they all related?
i think the entire backstory part of the show is telling the story of how thhey are all related. it seems they all have a somewhat tortured past. Whether it was "planned" is unknown.
21. Why was Locke's ability to walk restored on the island?
most likely related to the island's electromagnetic forces etc...
Looks like you are all set for season 3 now. Yay!
22. How are the Others living in what looked like a civilized society? They were having a book club discussion - it looks very grounded and folks have their schedules and routines.
23. Why is Ben in charge? How is he in charge?
24. Are Ben and the new girl married?
25. What is this show about? - I could have this question on the list 1 million times because I have no idea what it is about and why I am sucked into watching it.
26. Why did Ben want a list of everyone's names? He seemed ready for this and had a plan when the plane came down?
27. How long have the Others occupied the island? Were they there when Rousseau landed? Are the Others ageless?
28. Who was the random guy in the cage next to Sawyer? When he was caught from trying to escape, what did they do with him?
Okay, I am done for now. Too much to thing about. Too many questions to keep up with. Too many storylines. Maybe they should kill some of the weaker storylines like the ones about Charlie, the Australian girl, Rose, etc. Let's just focus on Jack, Sawyer, Kate, John, and Michael.
