How big is the gap between vanity & intelligence ?

Hey James,

That was so well written that i can't tell if you were serious, sarcastic or joking.

Great Reply!

Seems simple to me
"How big is the gap between vanity and intelligence ?

Vanity is wanting your blog/post read by everyone. (Please click on my photo and post in my group)


And Intelligence is to write a smart idea like that line above.


The gap between the two is called double spacing.

Jeunelle honey - remember what I said about getting LOTS of Vitamin D and cloudless percecption! heheh BEHAVE YOURSELF GIRL - and if you go over to your Birthday blog there are some chocolates waiting for you

Lee I promise i read it somewhere - I really honestly did and now Eric has got me rushing all over the internet to find out what damage I could do to myself if I keep my New Year's resolution and keep up with a proper "body maintenance" programme! Looks like its back to the

OH my goodness Lee!! ROFLOL!!!!

I can just see Lee, "excuse me ma'am, are those real? If not, I am afraid I will need to change seats" ROFLOL!!

Hi lee,

thanks for your comments. yes i have to agree with that one, good thing i don't fly too often :o)

Gosh, I guess I will have to be more careful who I sit next to on a plane!
That’s news to me.

Have you ever noticed some of the women on TV that their lips hardly move when they talk?

A lot of people are obsessed with weight loss and will go to extremes to get rid of it.
Cancer is a good way to lose weight quickly.
I’ve heard that tapeworms are a good way to lose weight also.
People really did that!
That’s not much different than people having part of the stomach removed.
Several of our friends did that.
Personally I would rather have the worm.
If you lose weight

p.s. Eric and Jeunelle - what have winning, losing and blogs got to do with vanity and the dangers of cosmetic productsand intelligence???!! And don't talk to me about Vitamin D girl - coz where I life we have lots of sun and my perception is cloudless! hehe

Hmm Eric,

I don t know if it is about the gap between Vanity and Intelligence. sometimes it's a gap between intelligence and information. If you have all the information about the risks of all this cosmetic surgery and tweaking we can do nowadays and go ahead in spite of it - then it's not so much a gap but more like an abyss!

The problem is that although the risks about subeds are more widely known and some of the various procedures - there is a lot more that most people dont know and hav

Hey Juenelle, whats the weather like up there ;o)

When my son comes up to me and says... "I done a good job at this didn't I" Before I answer him i always say... "Are you pulling your own chain again ?"

I try to tell him, that compliments are something we give other people and if he keeps telling himself he done a good job he's going to get a "big head". Of course I ALWAYS compliment him on a job well done - and i correct him if he made a mistake (Theres no sense telling our kids its corre

This is an interesting topic. Living in France, you'd think that plastic surgury would be popular. I've noticed though that most French woman are just careful in their daily diet and have a sensible wardrobe choice, even for woman who may be a little overweight.

Things have changed somewhat the past five years or so though and this is mostly influenced from Fastfoods (yeah, the american hamburger meals are getting real popular among the youth, it is affordable and a fun place to go to with f

Vanity and intelligence. I'm beginning to wonder if they can co-exist. I was just in the store and saw this lady who has obviously had one too many face lifts. Her eyebrows were almost meeting her hairline! She looked like blinking would be a major undertaking and I guess in her mind she looked younger and more attractive when the truth is she looked like someone had jumped out an said "Boo!" and her face got stuck.

There is something to be said for growing older gracefully by taking care o

Cheryl, you have one hell of a sense of humour!! I'm going to bed now, and my husband will wonder why I'm giggling! You are so right - MJ would be enough to put anyone off surgery. Having said that though, I think there are cases where surgery can really make a difference, like the removal of unhealthy excess skin after massive weight loss, or procedures which can give a badly disfigured child a reasonably normal functioning face.

Whenever I even come close to thinking about surgery or other alterations I pull out two pictures of Michael Jackson. A before picture from the days of the Jackson 5 and a current picture of him looking like a wax dummy. if that doesn't cure me I pull out my video of him performing in Bucharest and look at the side by side video of him and his Madame Toussaud creation. I'm reminded of everyone thinking the dummy was him until he moved. But then again I guess that proves he is a dummy. Just

My mom when she passed, had absolutely no wrinkles (well, maybe a few laugh lines); she never used a lot of make-up, never did peels, never smoked, drank sparingly, never used any of those fancy moisturizers....unfortunately, she worked cleaning hospitals, AND THOSE CLEANING CHEMICALS DUE promote cancer as well. It's not just the cosmetic industry or the drug industry, it's any corporation that puts the bottom dollar above the consumer!

Interesting discussion, Eric. I don't necessarily think it is vanity. I think it is more like brainwashing from the big cosmetic companies, from the media and consequently from peer groups. With enough pressure, even the healthiest person will start to feel inadequate, and instinctively want to change themselves "for the better". Of course, the cosmetic companies are waiting in the wings. The persistant, insistant message is that it might be dangerous, but it is worth it. It isn't easy for
