Sheila: Oh, she's doing well...She's dancing half-naked in a music video, wherein the singer exhorts the young ladies to smack their own asses. Preferably, on the floor. Oh, and also, to the point that they get sore. We couldn't be prouder! (I assume at this point, Middle Aged Lady says something like, "Well, I NEVER!!" and storms out angrily.)

I am suitably chagrined, because, well, at least I don't have to stand upright for 30 minutes, although, truly, I shower almost immediately after taking my pill, so it's kind of what I do anyway. (I can't eat or drink anything heavy for an hour after taking it, though I do not count coffee, because who wants to die? Such is the way it goes.) Oh man, thanks for that MauiGirl.

DON'T KIDS THESE DAYS KNOW HOW STRICT THE WORLD USED TO BE? Don't they remember how we were still walking uphill both ways in snowshoes when production staffs everywhere were still bleeping out the word "ass" on telelvision?!

Me and my friend Mare used to lose our shit when the 1-800-DENTIST commercial came on. It was an office scene and 2 women were talking, one in need of a dentist and the other was all, "Oh, call 1-800-DENTIST! They're super!....Here, let me get you the number." and me and Mare are like IT'S 1-800-DENTIST YOU MORON! YOU DON'T NEED TO "GET HER THE NUMBER"!!" I swear my friend split in two everytime it came on, Re; Ms Pam. while I didn't lose it, my heart did break and I thought it so sweet of Dwight who's usually a tool, to quietly comfort her and let her have a quiet cry. That made me all "aaaaw". Well, right up until he said, "you must be PMS-ing pretty hard." Ah, good ole, Dwight. If yelling at commercials is a sign of a declining mind, then I’m right there with ya.

I believe it is because some of those drugs can harm the esophagus if you don't get them all the way down there. So staying upright must prevent heartburn or whatever would make it back up into the esophagus. Personally I'm not sure it would be worth the risk. Why not just exercise and take calcium? (As if I actually exercise...who am I kidding? I am the original "take a pill to cure everything" person! Amity is right – I think that must be the reason.

Is that really what she's been reduced to? Hocking pharmaceuticals? It's a sad state! (As if making the switch from big movies to a TV drama wasn't bad enough...) It think the whole deal with the "taking 30 minutes" is that with some of those osteoporosis pills you have to be upright (not sitting?) for 30-minutes afterwards. I don't really know what the point of that is, but I do know those are the directions. (My mom has taken them and she says it is kind of a pain because you have to keep yourself mentally in check and fight the urge to sit.)

Hysterical. I am a convert. My husband even liked it. Speaking of which, I think he'd like it if I put sex on my "to do" list too...LOL! Regarding commercials, I can't stand most of them and many of them I totally don't get the point of. Which obviously means I am so old I am no longer in the target audience of most of the shows I watch. I watched “The Office” for the first time last night. Hysterical. I am a convert.
