Don’t hate me because I’m a 41 y. o. mom and seem to have resisted the forces of gravity entirely, measure 36-27-37 (I sew, so I know) and do Absolutely Nothing in the way of exercise. From the neck up, though, it’s another story. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=OpalCat] I have barfed from drinking before (especially if I drink on an empty stomach) but I’ve never felt anything but normal the next morning when I wake up. [/QUOTE] Do you drink a lot of water after you overindulge in alcohol? You know, hangovers are not from the alcohol, but from the dehydration caused by a superabundance of alcohol in your system. I_will_ hate you if you say you never have to get up to pee in the night before you wake up refreshed and hangover free the next morning. 😉 ---

Don’t hate me because I’m not afraid of creepy crawlies. I’m the girl who will rescue and relocate the spider, bee, or snake who frightened you. I haven’t yet met a flying, crawling, slithering, slimy, stinky, stinging, furry, or biting creature that can cause me to squeal or run away. ---

'cause I barely fit into size 00’s, eat what I want, work out when I feel like it… and I have curves and an ass that would make Vida Guerra jealous. (Wow… this sounds super-arrogant… :eek: ) I don’t chow down on cheeseburgers and biscuits & gravy often, but if I want a brownie and ice cream now and then, I’m not going to feel the least bit guilty about eating it. ---

[QUOTE=OpalCat] …am 35 and have never had a hangover. And no, it’s not because I don’t drink. I just…don’t get hangovers. [/QUOTE] Are you sure that it’s not just because you haven’t tried hard enough? I never had a hangover until I was 25, but bad behavior eventually caught up with me. ---

[QUOTE=Evil One] I can eat whatever I want within reason and I still weigh what I did in college. [/QUOTE] You, I hate! 😃 I eat whatever I want, too. But it all stays on me. I’m now about 5 feet 4 (was 5 feet 5, but at 64 the discs have eroded and I’ve settled a little) and weigh about 250 lbs. I’m in love with a twenty-something, but that ain’t gonna happen. Hate’s the wrong word. Envy works. ---

Wow. I am very jealous of the lack of hangovers. I get really bad ones and have to sleep them off (I also hate people who can just get out of bed after a night on the batter). Don’t hate me because I make a lot of money and date an extremely good looking woman. Really, both are true.
