Hey ladies! Do you workout at "Curves"? If so then you're funding anti-
...abortion activists! Yippee! You may get "curves" but don't dare use them...At least not without serious protection or in the sanctity of marriage, one that you want to actually be in...

1. Here's the print version...
I think someone said if you post the print version, people don't have to register to read it. Let me know, as I'm curious if this is true.

2. Not me..I didn't like it when they told me they weren't open on Sundays
and never would be. It's the Sabbath you know. I joined a regular gym, and get a much better work out anyways.

4. Curves was just what I was
looking for but when I heard this last year I just couldn't do it. I have a couple fo them that are very convenient and it looked so much better than one of those glass windowed places in a mall. I ended up buying some exercise stuff and we all can use use it so that worked out.

. . .liberal people who have sunk life savings into a Curves franchise only to discover where some of that money has gone. Could pose them a painful conundrum.

edit: I'm not sure "conundrum" is the right word, but you know what I mean!

9. Work out???
Edited on Tue Sep-28-04 10:20 PM by Cleita
Hahahahahaha. I certainly wouldn't pay money for it. Too bad if they are a front for an anti-women's issues cabal. I hope they are exposed.
