    Sure. I love playing with power tools and building things.

    140 isn't fat. That's about what I weigh.

    Well, for me, you don't seem obese, and if you don't seem to find yourself obese either, that must mean that it's your muscles that are the cause of the extra weight. Don't worry much about it, unless you go into the tier of overweight :eek:

    But I think that you're fine :)

    The slimmest I can go, without looking ill, is around 140 pounds. That's me in a size 4 - 6.

    I weigh around 140 and wear about a size 8-9. the smallest I've been was a seize 7ish. It doesn't matter how much I weigh, my bone structure just doesn't allow for smaller sizes. I have hips.

    Oooo I beg to differ, I love good cooking :)

    Besides I thought it was american cooking that packed calories into everything?

    Well, I don't HAVE power tools, but I know how to use them.

    My name, for years now, in most corners of the Internet, is lovely. If I ever finish my book and get it published, it'll be published under that name.

    It seems like it is taking forever to load or something. I'm about to head out for the day but I will be here a few more minutes.

    Yea, I don't think it is going to load. It just stays at 0% loading.

    yeah you might need to refresh the page a couple of times but its worth it



    oh when emailing some one id preferably say

    dear mr/mrs/miss X, or sir or madame

    but in this case their name is androgynous so would it be OK if I put their full name

    i.e

    dear S F
  • Jun 23, 2010, 01:56 PM
    adam_89

    It is appropriate to address an email that way. Some would say maybe not appropriate if a business letter.
  • Jun 23, 2010, 01:57 PM
    albear

    Its kind of a business letter as I'm applying for a job and they are the person to apply to

    And I would presume just the firstname

    Dear S

    Would be to informal and not very appropriate

    You might want to stick with Mr. X, or whatever his last name is on this one, but if you feel comfortable doing it with the full name go ahead.

    I am out for the day, Have a good evening.

    That's the thing, their name is sam

    Which can be either mr or mrs

    Bear, try Mr/Ms Sam Whatever, or you could Google the name to see if you could get a clue.
  • Jun 23, 2010, 02:15 PM

    I've tried googleing them but all I can find is their full name and email and there are too many people with the same name in the area to have a guess at who is the right one.

    But thank you for the Mr/Ms that would probably be the best option,

    Cheers Cats :)

    ahahahahaha more digging and I found a picture that matched one of the sam X pictures I found earlier, she is female

    so since I can't find out if she is married is
    Mrs or Ms more appropriate?

    Definitely Ms. 21st Century etiquette and she might find it a little flattering. Every brownie point counts.
