Specks, there's probably not a quick-and-dirty solution to the cellulite, at least not so much as plucking. That stuff requires more of a long-term plan of action, or failing that, acceptance.

Judging by my mom? I'd probably resemble a vat of cottage cheese from the waist down, considering my age, were it not for the fact that I ride my bike on the average of 90-150 miles per week. And I don't just ride, I let my 10- and 20-years younger male teammates drag me around by the neck. Well, that is when I'm not dragging THEM around by the neck, as 2 of them claimed last week, har har.

As far as Skype, I got nothing, sorry. I am considering whether I should spring for an iPhone when my Verizon contract ends in October, tho.

Drinking beer and sitting around being a lazy bastard is the true cure for cellulite. I am a scientist and I am telling you this in my professional opinion.

cmonkey, your ideas intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. I'm going to pretend that I don't know lfr is right and go get some beer right now.

Back when I lived in Richmond, IN, there was a little salon up by the Big Blue farm supply that touted a cure for cellulite that I gather dates back to the 1950's, or at least the big hairdos of their clientele did, anyway. I don't know the official title of this method, but it involves sitting back in a reclining barber chair that wiggles for about thirty minutes. That's all, just lie back and wiggle.

Maybe you could rig up a wiggling chair of your own, set out on the porch a spell and wiggle to your heart's content.

I'm getting chat messages from "Sexy Darcy" and sometimes am even put INTO chat without having signed in! What gives?

I was getting a few Skype spams. Then I removed all public information from my profile and they stopped.

I suspect the spammers pick targets based on information in the public profile.

Hope this helps.

It's cell phone text spam that really gets my goat. No, I don't want to go to your stupid €10-cover/€5-beer party where every woman has a fake tan and the men have ridiculously elaborate hairstyles, stop spamming me.

Also I agree with Mr. Janus: you need a wiggling chair. You could even set it out in front and sell passers-by lemonade while wiggling the cellulite away.

A wiggling chair sounds vaguely dirty. Maybe that's just because my beer is kicking in.

You mean those beehived ladies were just there for a fancied-up dryer ride?

Wow. That's all sorts of awesome.

Quick Quiz - Hugh Janus quote or Tom Waits lyric?

hm. on review, beer is inded a capital idea and:

DRYER RIDES!

cellulite is triggered more by hormones and types of food than amount of food (or your weight) etc.Exercise is the right thing to do as is anything that keeps circulation healthy - this includes caffeinated (coffee) scrubs soaps and creams and a new habit of scrubbing the target areas with one of those odd looking rubber-widgets while in the shower. You could spend a fortune on this stuff, get some high end types like biotherm or go straight for mixing your own, doesn't seem to make a difference.

I had the dimple thighs when I was pregnant, hormones and extra weight youknow, which went away *before* the weight did as the hormones (and bad habit of eating only french fries and salted crackers all day) went away as soon as I gave birth. (Man, I hate french fries now.)
