he's 10 yrs. older than I am, but we're from the same home town, Buffalo NY. If you're a fan of his, make sure you read his book http://www.amazon.com/Big-Russ-Me-Father-Lessons/dp/1401359655/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213454768&sr=8-1 He speaks at length of his working class...

We use ours primarily to pull the humidity out of the air. During the day, it's set at 78 and 75 for sleeping. When the kids were younger, they'd complain, "it's still hot in here. can't we turn it down?" I'd tell 'em, 'stand outside on the deck for 5 minutes and then come in. you'll see...

(((Carola))), my fellow herding dog lover. So sorry to hear about this, he was a handsome fellow for sure. I had a a 2 yr. old dog die a few yrs. ago, even tho' we have 3 other dogs, his name comes up in coversation several times a week. Thanks for passing along this information too. I've...

wow, what a horrible thing. I have 2 acres, fenced. My corgi loves digging out and wandering the neighborhood. We've filled the holes, patched w/ stone etc, but she always finds a way to get out, so I completely understand. This neighbor sounds like an unstable guy, to say the least. I hope...

Born and raised in Buffalo, lived in Rochester for 7 yrs. (loved it) now in 'the OC": Orange County. About 60 miles NW of 'the city' Valerie

I'm so sorry for your loss and pray that time eases your pain. ((((HUGS)))) Valerie

I have P0X, which I used 2 yrs. ago and got good results w/. I liked it when I did it, but haven't done it since. Much of what I see in the blog reminds me of it: wall squats, lat pull downs w/ tubing etc. I honestly have a lot of DVDs I rarely, if ever use and I know these would fit into...

RE: Wanna learn how fun! Did you see 13 going on 30 w/ Jennifer Garner? There's a great scene where she's in a club, everyone all blase' acting cool. "Thriller' starts playing and she starts the dance. At first everyone is weirded out and one by one, they all join in. It's too cute. Valerie

it's hard to sit out, when you're accustomed to vigorous activity: your body and mind seem to crave it. sounds like you've worked very hard to get to your current level of fitness. I can tell you that, at 48, my husband still feels the effects of his ACL tear 30 yrs. ago. He did continue to...

My son runs track in college (a freshman at an Ivy League school: sorry, I can't stop bragging about him!). He was diagnosed w/ a stress fx. 4 wks. ago. He'd had pain for 3 wks. prior. Negative xray, but the bone scan did show the fx. He spent 2 wks. in a boot, a la Tom Brady and has not run...

I'm with Nancy on this one. If you can't pay off your credit card, don't do it. I'm struggling w/ digging myself out of cc debt right now and it's hard not to order things I want, but it's really like working 5 days/wk and only getting paid for 4 when you carry a credit card balance. I know I...

Audrey is my daughter's name(Audrey Claire). She'll be 17. Once in awhile, I'll run into a younger Audrey, but rarely. And only once in my 20 yrs. working L&D, did I have a patient actually name her baby Audrey. Ava is getting more popular. My friend has a 13 yr. old named Ava and she's...

So sorry to hear your sad news. My prayers are with you. Valerie

labor and delivery nurse here weighing in. being dilated/effaced before labor actually begins doesn't by a LONG shot guarantee delivering early. anyone here ever have pre-term labor go on to be induced?? it happens a lot. pregnancy is supposed to last 40 wks. many women go past their due...

we just had the main bathroom remodeled and I had 2 lovely corner shelves installed in the shower for my 19 yr. old son, who's away at college most of the time, and his 16 yr. old sister. Well, let me tell you, she's got stuff on both shelves and lined up all along the edge of the tub! Her new...

I'm in complete agreement w/ you, Carola. Vaerie

I subscribe to the Simple Living Network website and they had this to ponder: http://www.simpleliving.net/main/custom.asp?recid=22 what are your thoughts? Valerie

I love this book and way of working out. After years of doing videos, alternating w/ the gym, feeling wrung out for days after a hard work out, I'm enjoying it. 3 days of lifting, 4 days of HIIT, 30 min. sessions. I have zero dread factor so far. (in week 5). That said, I know I'll get to...

I feel your pain. Born and raised in Buffalo NY, so I know exactly what you're dealing w/. I have vivid memories of shoveling 2 or 3 times per day because the volume would be too great to move if we waited till it was all over. I like winter a lot, but it does get bleak when you're too...

Manmohini My oldest child, who turns (gulp)22 in April was horrible. I'd always wanted to be a mother, and when I finally was one, I thought I couldn't have made a worse mistake. My whole life revolved around getting/keeping him quiet/content. Fussy, screaming . .. .and when he wasn't he was...
