| What a dream-come-true that would be for me (a silent meltdown). Instead, I'm very vocal, and cannot keep it in. |

| I agree that there has to be something to this theory -- things like this don't arise out of thin air. Being an uber-sensitive coeliac (as well as having ASD) I have to know where 'hidden' gluten is found, and I wonder if many people think they've tried a GF-CF diet but haven't really got all the gl... |

| Unless you have quite a lot of money to spend on groceries, and are able to shop frequently, it's almost impossible to stay on it all the time. . Not trying to argue with anyone, or encourage or discourage, but if that's all that's discouraging you, re-think it? I have to be gluten free -- a crumb ... |

| The problem I have is that there's never anything for me to eat! I don't live near any health food stores, and I don't have a car, so I can't get the special gluten free stuff, and even if I could it's $6 for a loaf of bread or a pound of pasta. My local supermarket doesn't even have any dairy free... |

| I don't even go to McDonalds just for a salad tbh, I don't see what's worth it? You can just easily make salad for free at home. This is correct home made salad are much cheaper then the McDonald's salad. 8) Yes, I'd say they're cheaper, but I don't get how they could be free . . . I don't eat out,... |

| When I get a bag of M&Ms, I spend some time playing with them before I eat them. It's for fun, and I don't always do it, but almost always. I put them all into gorups of 3, but like a 'sandwich' (two yellows with a red in-between them, or two greens and a blue, etc. So it takes a while to sort t... |

| I simply do not wear a bra. If pervy men want to stare, let them. That is their problem not mine. They can look but not touch. Good for you! I soooo wish that was an option for me, but I simply cannot stand up in front of my classes braless with my 34-F's -- I need the support. I really do think ab... |

I think the band is supposed to be so that it's level with the front. So, stand side-to the mirror, and look at the back of the band and it should be level (straight across -- not up or down, compared to the front of the band).
I think. |
