I also have wide hips and a fairly narrow waist. I got a Land's End suit: a mini-swim-mini (the regular mini is too long) and a tankini top. It is as flattering as it gets. [ Reply | More

Of course you'll have a future. It will just be different from what you previously envisioned. My family traveled through an incredible financial nadir -- multiple bankruptcies, alcoholism treatment, etc. But after many years everyone has come out the other side. It's not the idyllic picture anyone had, but it does fine. [ Reply | More

I'm 5'8" and 32A... need something flattering to my small chest (and that fits!) and a tummy smoother would help, since my post children belly seems to stick out farther than my boobs.

Family lawyer here: Child support is a % of his salary. As for visitation rights, the Judge would set up a schedule of when the Father could see his son...if the Father chooses not to see his son I would definitely have my lawyer bring this to the Judge's attention because it is very traumatic for the child to be set up for disappointment.

[ - ] ivy isn't everythign folks. I had acceptances to 2 ivies back in the 90's when I was graduating from high school. Chose Tisch school of the arts to study drama instead. Went on the get a masters in film. Now I make my living directing tv films and commercials and I'm very happy I chose NYU. If I had gone to Yale or Columbia I would never have had the vision or exposure to the craft that shaped my career. I would probably be floundering around trying to figure out what i want and doing some "meantime" job. Totally living my dream and making money too and it's a direct result of NOT picking the Ivy schools. best part of my life is I go job to job so I can choose to take time off with my kids....like now, as I write you from the Hamptons where I will stay for 2 months not working and being proud of my non-ivy decision! 9 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

OP: Well I like the success in career and money but the MOST important thing to me is that I have a job that I can schedule around my family...that I can take off in the summer and be w/ my kids for a month and not work and be OK. Also, I don't think the school can be credited for much of the whole person beyond the work/money/successful career stuff. The rest is either your own make-up or from your parents. [ Reply | More
