I predict tattoo removal might be a big thing in the future, as Generation X sags and wrinkles.

Don't think so. However, my eyelids are sagging low and if they eventually block my vision I may have surgery. On the other hand, being frugal, I may look into some piercing and use a pair of metal rings to hold up my eyelids.

i've seen this on guys in the locker room at the gym. they have their love handles lipo'd only to gain weight which pops out in the oddest places.

You are quite right about that. Had the lipo done 4-5 years ago and held my weight steady until last winter, when work got real stressy and I put on 6 pounds. Even with that small a gain I could observe that the weight comes back in different places than before. I don't want to even imagine what it would look like if I gained 20+ pounds.

Anyway, I got back on the bandwagon, dropped the 6 pounds, lookin' good again.

Lipo is definitely not a quick or easy fix. I've seen TV programs where a mother and daughter go in together for lipo to help lose some weight. What are they thinking! <slaps forehead> Wait until they put that weight back on, oh boy!

Oh my God, not the forehead!

Re:saddlebags- years ago I was prejudiced against saddlebags. Now I would like to get friendly with a couple of nice big ones. They do say-"Life is change."
