    I'm back....

    It's been a while since I last posted. My Dad died on August 24th which in and of itself is incredibly difficult and awful as many of you know. Two weeks later I had to put my beloved cat, Midnight (hence my username), to sleep. Needless to say, I was pretty fragile emotionally before the cat...

    Update

    My father died of metastatic melanoma on Wednesday, August 24th. Although the doctor had led us to believe there was some hope for treatment, this turned out not to be the case. He was gone a week and a half after the biopsy report came back showing that the lesions in his liver were melanoma...

    Need your good Karma

    They found lesions on my Dad's liver. The biopsy showed that the lesions are melanoma. He was originally diagnosed 5 years ago when a mole removed from his back was malignant. One lymph node was affected so all the surrounding lymph nodes were removed. Things were ok until now. Melanoma can...

    When is your birthday?

    11/27/1958 - Saggitarius - but I don't know what this means because I don't know anything about astrology. I just realized I'm 46 yrs. old. When did this happen? --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the...

    A good basic yoga tape

    Hi, I think I may have asked this before but I can't find my post. I am looking for a good basic yoga dvd that takes you through the basic poses and isn't too long. I'm not looking to burn fat, etc. I just need something I can do when I'm stressed out. Thanks. --Lois "If I have...

    How long after a cortisone shot do I have to wait?

    When I got a cortisone shot in my foot (between my toes no less) the podiatrist said I could work out the next day. However, your condition sounds much more complicated than mine, which was some kind of neuralgia. I have felt any pain since and it has been more than three months. Check with...

    Hooray for Dove!

    Even better - their new firming lotion does work!! I have been using it for a month now and I have seen results. Not a magic bullet but not just a bunch of hype either. I also intend to use as many other Dove products as I can because I love their new advertising campaign. --Lois "If...

    Did I get turned into a kid while I slept?

    I usually have good luck in GapKids, Old Navy kids department but that's about it. I have the most trouble finding workout pants with a 28" inseam. Last year I bought a pair of zip-off windpants in the boys department at Old Navy. That was the best I could do and I'm not entirely thrilled...

    Gas Prices?

    Also, here in MA, there are a zillion taxes tacked on to elevate the price. I think there are also political issues on the supply side no matter what the demand is. --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at...

    Clothes shopping rant!

    The Gap is definitely going downhill. I buy the girls XXL tshirts in Old Navy for 5.00. Who cares if they don't last more than one summer? Actually, some of them have. I just buy jeans in the Gap although I like some of the bra styles in Gap Body. There aren't too many of them around...

    I Love Cathe's Motivational Techniques

    I forget which dvd it is, I think CoreMax, when she says, "don't zone out, you won't get the maximum out of the exercise". How does she know that I'm zoning out?? --Lois "If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the...

    Toe Arthritis?

    I saw a podiatrist a few months ago for exactly what you're describing. It was indeed arthritis and it's very common. He told me that it was irreversible and that I could take antiinflammatories (motrin, etc.) It kind of comes and goes. I know what you mean about the lunges. Sometimes when...
