Our school lunch tries to be heart healthy -- meaning they use low-fat dairy and lean meat, and serve whole wheat bread instead of white. The whole wheat rolls are massive though--way larger than need be for adults, let alone elementary school kids. I let my son buy lunch, but I am still not...

Mary, this is a silly question since you are on the Cathe forums--but are you doing plenty of cardio? I have PMS bad. I think I have PMDD--Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. Generally, I am a depressed mess for a week or two before my period. During really bad months I promise myself that I...

Good luck Sarah!! :) Lori

Nice compliment cinnamon. :) I had a terrible varicose vein and many other little veins that railroaded out from the main vein, removed surgically. It's called the saphenous vein. One incision was made at the groin, and one at the ankle and the took the entire thing out. It was the...

Jes, that is great!! What a wonderful feeling!! Lori

Thanks Caren, it's very strange. I don't know what is up. :) Lori

I am also sorry about your father. Kath, I can understand why you feel left out. I am with Lori. I would try to talk to your sister alone, and explain your feelings to her. In the meantime, I would offer help and support needed for your parents, which I am sure you have been doing. Lori

Christine, thank you for sharing your story. What a commendable thing you did. I am going for my first disaster relief meeting this Friday night at the Red Cross. Lori

I know what you mean about *detoxifying*. I often get zits a couple days after a facial. It seems to bring everything up. But zits usually aren't caused by *toxins* in the blood. Bacteria mixes with sweat and oil and gets trapped in your pores. Lori

So glad everything is okay Shannon. How scary. Lori

I like pointy toes with pants and jeans. I like when the pant hem falls on top of the shoe, and you see a point sticking out. It looks dressy, and it elongates the body. I have to be careful with points. Sometimes they are a bit too "witchy" looking. I wear a size 9.5 so not all points...

Charlotte, I wanted to say how impressed I am that you were doing crunches/situps while watching the show. My son's birthday was today, so I was finishing off some leftover ice cream! I am going to be a big loser with these contestants though. Now, if I could only figure out how to lose 20...

I watched it too. I didn't watch last season. I asked my husband to watch it with me tonight, but he said he wasn't wathcing that "crap". I wonder how he can watch porn (kidding) and pro-wrestling, but TBL is crap. ;-) :P ;-) I also didn't get to know Ruben. The show didn't focus on him...
