    Organic for Your Budget

    Thanks for posting the list. That is how I shop. I buy only the priority items organic. Other produce get sprayed with an organic produce wash and rinsed well.

    Basement air conditioning?

    I exercise in my garage and the heat is cooking me :P We're having a heat wave in California...temps up to 110. I've had to get up 2 hours early every morning to get my workouts in. Between the smoke in the air and the extreme heat I keep expecting a man with a pitchfork to jump out yelling...

    What kind of friend am I? Long

    Maggie LOL :D It's all about having a routine...something she is lacking. The baby has no regular nap or bed times....dinner for them is whenever. I can't live my life like that. I just wouldn't be able to fit everything in. I will offer to walk with her but if I end up standing in...

    What kind of friend am I? Long

    Thats a good idea to offer to walk with her in the evening or do some other kind of exercise outside of my normal workout. I think that's what I'll do. If she wants the help then great, if not at least I tried. I really do care about her.

    What kind of friend am I? Long

    Okay, heres the deal. I was working out with my neighbor...she is also my best friend. We were using her air conditioned garage. We are both in our mid 30's. I have 2 children and she has a one year old baby. It's not easy on her with the baby so I worked around her schedule. If she was...

    a question for parents whose kids play sports

    Both my boys play sports and that is NOT normal. If I were you I would contact the school or league. I would NOT talk to the coaches directly because unfortunately this could cause them to discriminate against your child....affecting his playing time. My husband even plays sports...

    I tried it on two different dvd players and tv's. I will keep at it. I've only learned sec. 1-3 and still goof up a lot. I usually do my regular cardio in the morning and then in the evening I'll pop this in and try to master a little bit more. This is the first video that I've had to do...

    I thought I was pretty good at step until I tried this one. I love the music and looks like it will be fun once I get it down. The problem I'm having with it is that the music is so loud that it makes it hard to hear what she is saying. I've tried every sound setting available on my tv but it...

    muscle gain

    I'm no expert but the way I seem to gain muscle is by eating clean and lifting heavy. I think it's also important to have enough recovery time before working the same muscle group again. You are damaging the muscle during training. So the gain comes after the muscle recovers from this damage...

    My neighbor was peeking in my basement window

    He probably heard the music and wanted to join the party :D Seriously, how about planting some bushes or putting up some kind of screen outside. I'm sure he would get the hint without you even saying anything. I don't like people looking at me either. I workout in my garage but close the...

    I'm embarrassed to ask this

    Okay, you sweaty people make me feel sooo much better :D Like you Allison I don't drink massive amounts of water either. I'm just not a thirsty person. I have to remind myself to drink. On the rare occation that I do get thirsty I think, crap am I getting sick...what's wrong with me...

    Just caught my 7-year old daughter ...

    I think they hear things from other kids and are curious. I think you did all you can by talking to her and putting a block on the computer. I caught my 16 year old son looking at porn. My DH's additude was oh well, he's a boy. But I wasn't at all happy about it and kicked him off the...

    I'm embarrassed to ask this

    Are there any other sweaters out there? It's a good thing that I workout at home because I would be very embarrassed to literally be dripping wet in a gym. I'm not sure if this is normal. I do exercise in my garage but it could be winter and I still sweat (and steam LOL) It only seems to be...

    Something a little steamy, spicy, and sweaty

    I haven't branched out to Paranormal Romance but if they are steamy, spicy and sweaty then maybe I should :) I usually just read historical romance but have been having a hard time finding anything good. Yes, there actually can be too many steamy scenes LOL. You start thinking, yeah right...
