It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

I don't go out of the house without earrings on.
Usually wear a necklace, watch and bracelet. Bracelet I often take off when on a computer and have sometimes left them in offices.
I wear the same 3 rings every day: wedding and engagement ring on my left ring finger, eternity ring on my right ring finger.
I wear a necklace on special occasions.
I used to wear rings, ear rings etc every day but children arrived, middle son's aggression arrived and it was less risky to take them off.We made it!

Who's that a quote from, NDG?
8 stone is very slim for 5ft 7in. I'm that height, and I reckon 9st 7lb is about the weight I'm naturally supposed to be. I've been down to 7st 7lb, but that wasn't my intention, and happened at a bad time in my life for reasons I won't go into here. It wasn't healthy. I'm probably 10 and a half stone now (haven't weighed myself in years).
Can't remember, sorry, but I find it rather useful.
My sister is very slim, possibly a bit too much so, but she always has been. She went down to ridiculously skinny and ill-looking when she was ill, before she was diagnosed as being a Coeliac. She eats a very healthy diet, though. And has a very widely-read blog on eating as a Coeliac, too....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Aye, the hell with looking like a penguin anyway.
Real men wear Kilts.

Everyone's been to black tie gigs, surely? Even if they hire it for once in a while?
And you can see socks, between shoes and trouser ends!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
