How can I have gained weight when I have not hardly eaten since Monday night!!!!
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
MEDS!!! And probably holding a lot of fluids etc from the surgery.
I have not had a chance to read the boards today because work as been super busy, but I had to share a great victory. I have been craving sweets like nobodies business and today I ate a cookie and TWO little mini cake things. However I counted the points for them and including my dinner I still have 2 points to spare!!
Just joining in. Haven't read the whole thread but hope to get to know you guys. I am Lara. Lost a little more than half what I have to lose. Still need to lose atleast 60lbs. I have a less than supportive hubby (he thinks I am starving myself by denying myself junk food- of course he can eat anything and never gain) most of my friends say they support me but ask me out to eat constantly. I have been stuck for a year now at the same weight but working on changing things up to hopefully get things moving.
ugh ugh ugh both my husband and i had physicals today.......... my BMI was 29.1 highest ever .....and my husband was 28.9......... okay I was told i was almost in obese level ...needed to meet with a nutritionist and loose weight........ my husband was told he needed to loose 5 lbs........ really?????? omg whats this difference between men and woman......UNFAIR...........now I am 5'8" shrunk a bit and I am a size 12/14....never thought of that as OBESE... yes overweight but not OBSESE....... okay rant over
So busy this week! I've been reading along but haven't had time to respond, husband has the flu and both kids have the stomach bug! Ugh! I've been doing good with watching my calories but no free time to exercise
Oh Lara, it's so hard when you don't have the complete support of your friends and family. They really dont mean bad, but dh's who dont gain just dont get it (i have one) and as for friends asking you out to dinner, my only advice is to suggest going for coffee instead. I do that sometimes when i really cant afford to eat out while i diet.
That's wonderful that you have lost so much already tho! Keep it up and post away here. We will be supportive!
Really quick drive by post to let you know I am still here. Have had some really exhausting days at work and am PMSing really bad. I probably won't bother to weigh in this week. Hopefully I can try to read back this weekend and at least get to the Questions of the Day.
I am off to bed 2 hours early because I am just too tired to hold my eyes open. TTYL and everyone have a great Healthy, Happy day tomorrow!
Your metabolism is shutting down from lack of food and your body I'd retaining fluid from the surgery! Stay away from the scale for now!
How's the pain control?
Good for you!
WELCOME! So glad you came ov to join us! Be sure to read page one so you understand how things are running this term!
Sorry about the bad news. I agree about the unfairness between the sexes. DH says the word diet and loses 5pounds...then he throw his clothes on the treadmill and loses another 5! What's wrong with this!?
Oh my! So sorry you've been playing nurse! Prayers that everyone recovers quickly and they don't pass it to you. Good job with the calories despite the stress of the week.
Evening friends! Swim meet went well...DD took first in the 500 freestyle and second in the 200 freestyle
I've got my work clothes ironed and laid out for tomorrow, alarm is set, lunches are partially packed so I'm heading to dream land! TTY tomorrow! ..........P
I know exactly what you both are talking about with the men! DH stops eating 3 dinners and loses a clothing size!
And Pamela, I was thinking about you last night. DD had her second swim lesson. Watching her was amazing - she absolutely beamed every time her little face popped out of the water. I think we'll be signing up for a lot more!
I have got to go finish up last bits of packing - our flight is at 7:30am! Off to see a mouse about a medal!
I think the difference this time is that I have no more excuses. Over the past 5 years I've had 3 kids and after each one I would think "well, I really need to lose a lot of weight BUT I'm just going to put a bunch back on when we have our next baby... so what's the point of doing it now?" Stupid way to think, but there it is. Now that we're done having kids and our oldest DD is getting older I just really want to be healthy for myself and for my kids. To be able to keep up with them and for them to not be embarrased by me. I also don't want my kids struggling like I did and want to instill good eating habits in them.
I don't really have a lot of very low cal snacks. I drink a lot of water and I love frozen grapes.
Ugh my FIL is the worst with this. Whenever we talk about weight loss he says well really it's all about portion control. Because to him, if he gets just one meal from McDonald's instead of 2 he drops 20 pounds!!! I'm already eating sensible portions!! Drives me crazy that he can just cut his junk food in half and hop on the elliptical 30 mins every few days and drop a ton of weight.
Have a WONDERFUL trip and a GREAT run!!
My DFIL tried to convince us for a while that he was dropping weight just by eating half a potato with each meal instead of a whole potato! Come to find out, he was an undiagnosed diabetic!
Good Friday morning friends! Bright and sunny here with some icy conditions predicted for tonight. I'm teaching 3rd grade again, so I'll be popping off and on today.
I had a great weigh-in this morning and I am thrilled to say that I have lost nearly all of that holiday weight! What a relief!
Up next.... today's QOTD!............P
QOTD for Friday, January 11, 2013:
Here is my list of ten things to do when the cravings strike hard. What can you add to it??
1. Brush and floss your teeth. Who wants to mess up such nice clean teeth?
2. Go to bed. If it is near bedtime, just get away from the kitchen and go to sleep!
3. Throw away the food. If it is that much of a temptation it probably shouldn't be in the house.
4. Go back and read day#1 of your food journal, look at your "before" picture, find a great "after" outfit... do SOMETHING to bring back that feeling of "I CAN DO THIS!"
5. Go for a walk or play an active game (Wii, charades, Simon Says) with your family.
6. Indulge in another loved activity (other than eating ) such as scrapbooking, genealogy research, trip planning, bike riding... preferably something that isn't conducive to eating (which is why I didn't mention television or reading).
7. Go online window shopping and pick 3 outfits you would like to wear when you get to goal. Print pictures for your fridge or save on a Pinterest board.
8. Speaking of Pinterest... head over and check out the "Health and Fitness" board. If all of those ab photos don't stop the eating, nothing will!
9. Clean out a drawer, cupboard, shelf, or closet. Plan an OP treat for when you have successfully completed the task.
10. Come here to our group and chat! Vent about the craving (or the emotional situation that is causing the craving). Or stop by another thread on your favorite Disboards area and help someone else out.... offer a suggestion for a problem, an idea, etc. Helping someone else always makes us feel better about ourselves. ...................P
Yea, I'm currently addicted to grapes. We buy 2 big containers from Sams and I go through them in a weeks time.
I woke up this morning and gathered my stuff work work, went to the fridge and MY GRAPES WERE GONE!!!!!!!!!! And someone (DD) took my last banana too! Thankfully I have a couple back up snacks here at work but I'd much rather my grapes than 2 squares of graham crackers. *pout*
Ugh it is soooo unfair !
I find that the grapes at Costco aren't any cheaper than the grocery store and the quantity is so huge that I'm afraid we won't eat it all in time! I love Costco, but wish the portions weren't all so huge! That said.... I can eat their double size containers of raspberries in one sitting if I'm not careful!.....P
I would have to say since I started last year on the BL boards, I have become SO MUCH better with exercise! Sometimes it is only once a week, but I am going out and doing something. And if feels so good.
1. Water
2. Clementine
3. Sugar-free jello (black cherry only)
Good luck on your run!!!!!!
I would add ... drink 2 glasses of water.
Today is my baby's birthday. We had his grandparents up last night for cake. (He has a dance this evening.) His brother in college Skyped in. It was a nice evening .... even though I had 2 pieces of cake .... blah!
Where is everyone today? Things are quiet!
Anyhow.... kids are at music for another few minutes.... then after math we are watching MULAN! Finally, an elementary teacher who understands the importance of watching a Disney movie!
I may have a few minutes to pop on while they are at recess and that will probably be it for the day.
After school I drove DD and a teammate directly to the Y for high school swim practice. Today I will be taking DS along as well. When they are done swimming the teammate and DS are heading to a local arcade place for robotics fun night. I will drop them off there and then hopefully head home with DD. Fingers crossed that DH will be able to head out later and pick them up at the arcade. I would ask them to find a ride with another person, but the weather report for tonight is icy and I don't want them riding with a teen driver.
If DH can't manage the ride for some reason, I guess DD and I will stay in town and maybe grab a bite to eat and do some window shopping at the mall until the kids are done. The arcade is nearly an hour away from home, so going all the way home doesn't really make a great deal of sense.
Last night's crockpot chicken was delicious and I was thrilled to be able to pack up leftovers for lunch today for DD and myself! And I had yesterday's leftover steel cut oats for breakfast today.... I threw in a handful of raisins for a sweet treat!
Off to make a cup of tea before I grab the kids from music! Enjoy your day!.........P
Good morning from Epcot. Having a wonderful time with my WISH friends.
Pamela thought of your DD when I was at Living Seas.
Sweet! She does love that place! She got to do one of the "Behind the Scenes" things there her freshman year and couldn't stop raving about the huge aquarium. She would LOVE to be able to try out her new SCUBA skills there!
Say HI to Mickey for me! Hoping it pans out for me to be able to visit him later this spring with DD! .................P
Hi all!! Not sure if anyone will remember, but I was part of the BL challenge last year. Anyway, at that time I was planning for my family's first ever trip to DLR. Well we made it!! And had the most wonderful week of our lives!! In fact, DBF bad the biggest surprise in store and proposed in front of the castle on our magic morning! Very exciting And here I am needing to lose weight now before the wedding. Hope I can join in, I spent the last 2 days (in my free time anyway) catching up on the thread. I know Rose is at WDW competing the.marathon right now (so exciting!) so I will pm her for when she gets back. Just had a few minutes pop in and say hello, I will come back later to answer some QOTDs!

Product description
'This perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike, make it so delightfully absurd!' Pride and Prejudice has delighted generations of readers with its unforgettable cast of characters, carefully choreographed plot, and a hugely entertaining view of the world and its absurdities. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr and Mrs Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and menide down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity, as misconceptions and hasty judgements lead to heartache and scandal, but eventually to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love. In this supremely satisfying story, Jane Austen balances comedy with seriousness, and witty observation with profound insight. If Elizabeth Bennet returns again and again to her letter from Mr Darcy, readers of the novel are drawn even more irresistibly by its captivating wisdom. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Gliricidia sepium under Eucalyptus
rebecca8December 11, 2008
Does anyone know if Gliricidia sepium can grow between Eucalyptus?
Embothrium(USDA 8 Sunset 5 WA)
Yes: Probably a situation where you are trying to come up with something to furnish it in the first place because it is unsuitable for most kinds of under-planting. Some kinds of trees usually don't have anything growing underneath, gums (Eucalyptus) are an example. One large old one by itself may have other plants come in around it, but a grouping of several - especially if not particularly tall and old, as far as it goes - is likely to be pretty good at staving off competition.

Sadly, he'll need to produce on the wing or at center in a top-6 role or end up an ineffective tweener. Can't say I'm all that optimistic but you never know.
Pseudo expressed my feeling on it in saying that Wellwood wasn't the traditional 3rd line defensive forward but did pretty well in the underlying numbers in that regard. Same thing with Raymond - a lack of size and but good defensively, that's going to be enough for a guy like Schroeder.
In fact, what Raymond is doing now, if Schroeder can replicate that to be an option on the PK, he'll stick. Just be a defensive option on the PK. It should mean that he has the coach's trust and should mean that he has overcome his lack of size to be reliable defensively.
Edit: The BVS comparable of Morrison would be ideal for JS.

Our history shows an abysmal failure rate on the part of climate change, but our history also shows us that in the face of a clear and present danger, communities band together in to 'fix-it' mode — with amazing results. Apparently we just need to be able to touch or be touched by the issue.
Wells Fargo, as disclosed in its most recent corporate social responsibility (CSR) report, has reached $37 billion in environmental loans and investments.
We've all seen the powerful images of residents in China's most polluted cities wearing face masks to protect themselves against the dangerous levels of smog. But at last fall's Mercedes-Benz China Fashion Week, designers incorporated the respiratory gear into their shows — highlighting China's air pollution problem and the government's failure to improve air quality.
Boards, theoretically responsible for strategic direction and governance, typically have very little input to environmental or social issues affecting corporations or their stakeholders. Where should we focus to address this shortfall?

Fahrenheit 32 by Christian Dior
The comparison to Fleur de Male must be made - both are heavy on vanilla and neroli in combination. But where the Gaultier is a balanced, original and cool release - Fahrenheit 32 just seems redundant and frankly, a bit cheap. On my skin I just can´t get by the feeling of a highly artificial product. Something created in a lab between washing powders and stain removing liquids. As for instance Comme Des Garcons has proved time and again, artificiality doesn´t need to be bad per se. But in Fahrenheit 32 there isn´t enough originality or other redeeming stuff going on to justify it. The vanilla and orange blossom smell awfully synthetic and the whole brew has a strength (nuclear!) and offensiveness that´s just a bit too much too handle.

Yorta Yorta
- This article is for the Indigenous Australian group. For their language, see Yorta Yorta language.
The Yorta Yorta people are the Indigenous Australians who traditionally lived around the junction of the Goulburn and Murray Rivers in present-day northeast Victoria.
Yorta Yorta Family Groups include the Bangerang, Kailtheban, Wollithiga, Moira, Ulupna, Kwat Kwat, Yalaba Yalaba and Nguaria-iiliam-wurrung clans.[1]
The language is referred to generally as the Yorta Yorta language.
Native title claim[edit]
In a Native title claim submitted in 1995 by the Yorta Yorta people it was determined by Justice Olney in 1998 that the 'tide of history' had 'washed away' any real acknowledgement of traditional laws and any real observance of traditional customs by the applicants.[2] An appeal was made to the full bench of the Federal Court on the grounds that "the trial judge erroneously adopted a 'frozen in time' approach" and "failed to give sufficient recognition to the capacity of traditional laws and customs to adapt to changed circumstances". The Appeal was dismissed in a majority 2 to 1 decision.[3] The case was taken on appeal to the High Court of Australia but also dismissed in a 5 to 2 majority ruling in December 2002.[4][5]
In consequence of the failed native title claim, in May 2004 the Victorian State Government led by Premier Steve Bracks signed an historic co-operative management agreement with the Yorta Yorta people covering public land, rivers and lakes in north-central Victoria. The agreement gives the Yorta Yorta people a say in the management of traditional country including the Barmah State Park, Barmah State Forest, Kow Swamp and public land along the Murray and Goulburn rivers. Ultimate decision making responsibility was retained by the Environment Minister[6]
Prominent people[edit]
Adam Briggs, hip-hop artist

He is remembered for being President and co-founder of the Aborigines Progressive Association, leading the first delegation of Aboriginal people to meet with a serving Prime Minister, organising the 1938 Day of Mourning conference, writing and editing the first Aboriginal newspaper - The Australian Abo Call, initiating the Cummeragunja Walk-Off in 1939, and for leading the campaign which led to Aboriginal people being able to legally serve in the Australian military.

Andrew has Indigenous Australian heritage and his tribal ancestry can be traced to the Yorta Yorta.[1] He played his early career in country football and represented Bendigo in the TAC Cup before catching the eye of talent scouts. He was educated at Caulfield Grammar School in Melbourne, Victoria, and graduated in 2004. In Round 18 2011 against Essendon, Walker took a huge specky over Essendon player Jake Carlisle, which was considered by many football observers, including The Age's Rohan Connolly,[10] and both match-day coaches, Brett Ratten and James Hird,[11] to be one of the greatest marks of all-time – although ultimately it did not win the season's Mark of the Year award.[12] He was awarded life membership of the Carlton Football Club in December 2011.
The track "Ngarra Burra Ferra" sung by indigenous artist Jessica Mauboy from the 2012 hit film The Sapphires is a song based on the traditional Aboriginal hymn "Bura Fera." [8] The song is in the Yorta Yorta language and speaks of the Lord God's help in decimating a Pharaoh's armies. The chorus, Ngara burra ferra yumini yala yala, translates into English as "The Lord God drowned all Pharaoh's armies, hallelujah!" These lyrics are based on an ancient song in Jewish tradition known as the "Song of the Sea" or "Miriam's Song", as it was composed and sung by Miriam, older sister of the prophet Moses. It can be found in Exodus 15, especially verse 4, "Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea." Aboriginal communities of Victoria and southern New South Wales may be the only people in the world who still sing the piece (in Yorta Yorta).[8]

It has begun. Although my garden will be quite a bit smaller this year (although honestly, it's still a pretty big space), I still need to get a lot of transplants started indoors. Want to read about our past seeding adventures? For this year, half of the main garden has been planted in garlic, so I have half the space I normally do for growing our food.
Peppers from last year above….
Jaime's gone off to college so it's back to the two of us…so we will use less fresh greens than last year. I do want to stock the cold room up with home canned food though. We are out of green beans and I will want to store carrots again. Some things can be started in the garden, like all the leafy greens, carrots, beets and lots others. Some need a head start inside where it's warm. Tomatoes, peppers, cabbage (yes really), broccoli, cauliflower etc get started inside either because they need the warmth or they need the head start due to our shorter growing season here in the Cariboo.
I got started today and seeded all the peppers – here's what I have going:
Yolo Wonder Sweet – 8
Long Red Cayenne – 4
California Wonder – 6
Marion's Red Hots – 4 (named for Marion, because none of us remember what they really are!)
Habanero – 4
Sweet Green Bell – 6
Jalapeno – 4
Instead of using the little 4 packs for my seeds, I like to start them in either Styrofoam cups or red solo cups. I can let them start to get rootbound before I have to transplant them into the garden. I use the regular seedling trays with drain holes (important!) and they hold 18 cups. I have the covers used as the bottoms so that any water that runs out of the tray holes ends up in the covers below.
As an aside, if you haven't yet signed up for Tsu, the hottest thing in social media, here's an invitation: https://www.tsu.co/AnnieCoombe You can't get in without one! Come and sign up! It's growing daily and a lot of fun.

Deep purple. Enticing aromas of plum, cassis and minerals. Silky but laid-back, with suave flavors of sweet spices, herbs, smoke and blackcurrant. This firmly built, very pure wine finishes with smooth, ripe tannins and outstanding length. A very successful Chateau Margaux and one of the best wines of the vintage.
(5/ 2012)
** Cellar Selection ** A solidly structured wine, it is both elegant and intensely powerful. It is disclosing its fruitiness slowly, at the moment dense and concentrated. A restrained edge provides complexity and balance. It will need aging, so dont drink before 2022.
(5/ 2014)
Fabulous aromas of flowers with hints of strawberries and currants. Extremely aromatic. This is full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a racy finish. It is very finely structured but chewy and austere. I like the tension to this. Try in 2018.
(2/ 2014)
This has a restrained core of steeped plum, blackberry and anise, studded with tobacco and roasted cedar notes. The structure is silky but persistent, with an almost-succulent feel through the finish, while warm bergamot, singed cedar, vanilla and sanguine hints define the finish. Discreet today, but shows the balance and precision to unfold slowly with cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2030.
(3/ 2014)
The renowned Chateau Margauxs 2011 boasts a dark ruby/plum color as well as a fragrant perfume of spring flowers, sweet, supple, well-integrated tannins, medium body, and the elegance and nobility expected from a great first-growth. Although it is not as powerful or concentrated as the 2009 or 2010 (no 2011s are), it possesses finesse, elegance, purity and suppleness. The wine is surprisingly approachable already yet should keep for 15-20 years. (RP)
(4/ 2014)
**½ 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc. The highest tannin level ever here, but you do not notice it. Stunning wine.

Adrian Miedema and Christina Hall wrote the second edition of "HR Manager's Guide to Background Checks and Pre-Employment Testing".
There are many types of pre-employment background checks or tests available to employers. These checks can assist employers in hiring applicants that are well-qualified and skilled for the positions for which they are applying. Some of these checks will also assist employers in identifying "red flags" and thus mitigating against certain risks – such as hiring an applicant that may pose a risk of fraud or theft to the organization. Other types of checks will help employers obtain a sense of who the applicant is as a person, so that they can better assess whether the applicant will "fit" within the organization.
In recent years, employers have begun to check references with greater frequency and thoroughness. This book has been designed to help employers understand what types of checks are legally permissible, and how to conduct these checks in a way that minimizes risk to employers. The authors advise that interviews and reference checks be conducted before the employer extends a conditional offer of employment to the job applicant, but all other background checks and tests discussed in this book should be performed afterwards. The following types of background checks are reviewed in this book: personal interviews, reference checks, education and professional certification checks, credit checks, psychometric tests, medical and fitness tests, police records checks, drug and alcohol tests, and immigration, terrorism and industry-specific security checks.

Hi-tech help for bumbling referees
Most Popular
World Cup referees are making a lot of mistakes.
Sometimes these errors can change the outcome of a match. For example, in the Belgium v Brazil game on June 17, the Belgians had a goal disallowed. During the action replays viewed from a number of different angles, it became clear that the goal was legitimate.
The referees have a difficult job and they need some help from FIFA.
The solution I propose is simple. Give each referee a pocket-sized, battery-operated screen, connected to the cameras in the stadium. If a referee is unsure about a decision he has made, he can stop play for a few seconds, watch the playback and then make a final decision.
This instant replay policy might also discourage players from diving.

I have a few questions about traveling solo to Paris (will stay one week). This will be my first time in Europe (I'm late 20's male). My concern is whether to stay in a hostel or a hotel. Here's my dilemma, I would like to have people around me to talk to and have a drink with later in the day (as I'm sure my days will be full) and I can see that being a problem since I don't speak French....is it easy to chat with people in Paris restaurants/bars? I'd like to meet people that are a little more mature - I'm done with drinking to excess every night (I've seen this in hostel's before....and I was one of those people drinking to excess )
If I opted for a hotel room - would it be easy to meet people? Are there places in the city where you can strike up a conversation??
Paris: Solo travel advice needed!!

First its not just young people who stay in hostels, I think different hostels have different flavors so to speak. You could elect to just not stay in any that list themselves as youth hostels and just go for the ones that take all ages.
I have stayed solo in Paris a few times, and the reality is,no, you won't meet many people staying in a hotel. Locals rarely start of sincere friendships with passing through tourists, the waiter may be friendly, the man at the bus stop may chat briefly with you, but will they go out for drinks with you, not likely.
I have met people through forums though, and on some forums you can actually find others travelling same time as you and arrange to meet for drinks or sightseeing. Rick Steves has such a forum, you go on the "Helpline" and click on "travel partners".. you do not have to travel with people , some people just ask if anyone is in same town at same time and want to meet.
A hostel does provide more opportunity to meet and chat with folks .

Regardless of where you stay, you could choose a couple of group activities to get to meet people along the way. For example, if you like wine (but don't necessarily know much about it), try the tasting sessions each evening at O Chateau. Friends did the "Tour de France" tasting last year, and had a ball. They said it was a wide cross section of ages, from all over the place.

You might meet similarly inclined people on walking tours. Paris Walks, for example, but that is certainly not the only one.

Take a look at Jim Haynes' website and go to dinner at his place. There's always a crowd of very nice people. http://www.jim-haynes.com/index.htm

Paris doesn't have the sort of pub culture that you find in London, but there are certainly ersatz Irish pubs where you can hang out and find English-speakers. I know of a couple of sports bars which carry some North American games (time difference is a factor). And a sure conversation-starter with non-North-American English speakers is international soccer scores.
Here are a couple of sports bar, both supposedly Canadian and both in the 6th:
For Australians: http://www.cafe-oz.com/
For British: http://www.frogpubs.com/index.php This is a chain of five microbrew gastropubs. The beers are interesting. Sorry about the deplorable name.
The other solace is to carry some sort of connection to the Internet, whether smartphone or netbook or whatever, so you can feel connected and put in time surfing and e-mailing. Just like being alone back home.

I was going to say exactly what Cynthia said about tours. You might (or might not) meet people doing that who'd be up for more social things later. I've taken one with Oui Paris (ouiparistours.com) and a couple with Paris Walks (paris-walks.com), and would recommend them all. Fat Tire has some bike tours as well, but I haven't tried those.
Report Abuse
Thanks for all the suggestions! These are great. I really like the suggestion about Paris walks (since I love to wander) and I plan to give that one a try. Unfortunately I won't be in town on a Sunday, so I'll miss dinner with Jim Haynes. It's good to know where the some english-speaking bars are in case I go crazy....although I will try my best to meet some locals as well.....hopefully some girls too!
The 5th and 6th seem to really come alive at night - would that be a good place to stay? I'd prefer to stay close to home-base at night.
Report Abuse
Other than sports bars, are there any places where you sit at the bar and chit-chat with people? Is Paris fairly social?
Report Abuse
The "problem" is not speaking French. Of course people at bars talk to each other in Paris, but mostly that's going to be in French or else you'll be talking with other tourists. For meeting local girls, you're going to have to hope they are bilingual.
Yes the 5th or the 6th (or the 4th) is where I'd choose to stay.
Report Abuse
you might also check out the Republique (Republic??) and the Marais for night life, good value for your money there too, unless of course .. money is no object! I'd like money to be of no object... sigh.
I agree in my trips to Paris, solo, people are polite but not chatty, not like inthe US. Where, truth be told, sometimes people chat me up when I wish they wouldn't. And that is one reason I like the French.
Report Abuse
My experience (which is my experience only) is that I was generally ignored as a solo traveler in Paris, with the obvious exceptions of customer service employees and that sort of thing. I'm from the South and it was pretty much the polar opposite of the general friendliness I'm used to. However, I wasn't hanging out at bars or actively trying to socialize with Parisians, so your experience may not match mine.
I stayed off Boulevard Saint-Michel and it was pretty lively at night, so one more vote for the 5th/6th.
Report Abuse
I like to travel solo, but I'm not trying to meet people. I just do things on my own and have a great time.
I think organized activities will more likely put you in conversation with others (but tourists not locals) like doing a cooking class, bike tour, whatever.
To be more around locals, check an events/entertainment calendar and see if you can find anything special going on. Not specific to Paris, but I've managed to go to various parades, street markets, town festivals, art walks, fireman fundraising BBQ, school pagent, even the movies, where you're more likely to be with locals.
Report Abuse
I think you should go and have a good time and enjoy whoever you can chat up, but I don't know if you get what I am saying, the french are different culturally , they don't just make friends so casually. You can literally work with someone for months before you will start addressing each other by the less formal "tu" instead of "vous" and in some cases it may never happen. lol There are always exceptions of course, and of course service personal may chat with you, but the French do not smile and say hello to strangers on the street ( it would be percievced as odd behaviour) like we do where I live. I just want you to be clear on this so that you don't get hurt feelings, or think they are being mean or cold to you, French culture is just a tad more reserved.
Report Abuse
The French are not known for socializing with strangers, even their own neighbors. It would be sensible, I think, to concentrate on gatherings for anything that interests you attended by travelers and expats. Like local group tours and other suggestions above.
Use Google for activities for expats in English, like this:
Report Abuse
Another way is to try to make a connection with a local person or group in advance online. You might check the Trip Advisor Paris forums to see if there are any meet & greets going on.

Or join Hospitality Club and stay with someone local, free:

Thanks for the great advice everyone! Much appreciated. I'll try to make the best of it - if things don't pan out with locals I'll hit up the Canadian and British pubs!! Glad to know I have options! There looks like lot's of meet-ups and social events to participate in as well. Should be fun!! Can't wait!
Report Abuse
Want to connect with people; try a class. You may not be interested in cooking, but take a market class anyway for an interesting perspective on Parisian life. Plus you get to eat what you make! Take a bike tour. Get a hair cut. Do the things that locals do to connect with locals.

Francis Bacon
Five Decades
Twenty years after the artist's death, this new publication presents a timely and rich overview of the life and work of Francis Bacon. The book includes some 60 paintings as well as photographs, ephemera and archival material largely drawn from the artists studio. An introduction and four essays by international experts look at specific aspects of Bacon's work, from detailed analysis of archival material to a study of the influences of Marcel Duchamp. The paintings divide into a thematic chronology of five decades: the 1940s, which looks at the figure studies closely related to Bacon's famous Three studies for figures at the base of a crucifixion; the 1950s, where his work is informed by Velázquez and van Gogh, but is also dominated by ambiguous, shadowy figures in sombre tones; the 1960s and 70s, which focus on the portraits and subsequent memorials to Bacon's lover George Dyer, who died in 1971; the 1980s, while calmer and more naturalistic, reveal more haunted works which make reference to classical mythology and epic poetry. Each decade is defined by influences in his life and motifs which form part of an evolving pictorial language.

- Wildlife Victoria
Wildlife Victoria is a not for profit, volunteer based charity, providing a vital emergency phone service to the community by responding to calls regarding sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.
The Wildlife Victoria identity proposal was based one the idea of a re-branding strategy that would refresh the perception of the current organisation. One element that inspired the approach is that it is a nonprofit, volunteer based organisation. It depicts an organisation that is community based with a perception of individuals lending a hand to help our injured wildlife.
With this idea in mind, the identity solution depicts a less corporate style with a more friendly yet professional direction. The typeface was custom made for this identity so that a sense of individualization can be seen in the hand written style. This typography is coupled with a logo that has two main elements, the first being the circular hand cradling the animal. This relates strongly to the volunteering hand of individuals helping the injured or distressed wildlife. The second element is the animal within; this can be changed so that it may depict a baby Kangaroo, Koala, Possum, and Kookaburra etc. This idea gives an element of freshness to the logo, opening doors to different avenues of applications.
The refreshed identity solution will help to depict Wildlife Victoria's as a professional organization while communicating the essence of the organization.
