    Late Night/Dessert Eaters Listen Up!!!!!

    Way to go! Be sure to keep us posted on how things are going. I caught the end of this beautiful PBS show one day about food. It featured several famous chefs/cooks speaking on the importance of food feeding the soul. And I think the book you mention touches on that some. Eating slow to savor...

    Kids birthday parties

    Yes, it's this over-indulgent attitude that we have today, every thing from "Super Size me" to Hummers to mega malls screams of it. I refuse to go see the Mall of America here in MN, primarily because of their ad campaign, "Who says you can't have it all?" I am completely offended by what this...

    Kids birthday parties

    Interesting...in this area it's fairly common for kids as young as six to have hotel room birthday parties, i.e. the family rents a couple rooms to stay overnight and party in.

    O/T ? How do you tell someone to take a shower?

    Contact their host families. I assume the kids have lockers to store toiletries, etc. Their families can help them get some items together to have at school so that they can clean up after practice. Okay, just read further down the list of responses re. their ages. Just tell them up front.

    Anyone going to see Revenge of the Sith????

    I saw it at midnight yesterday. I thought it was incredible, esp. the visual effects and sound. I don't think of Lucas as an actors' director, but he is a guru when it comes special effects. I saw the original Star Wars - ANH - when I was just nine years old, have seen all the rest and have...

    Daughters scary expirience

    Just a thought... It might be a good idea to discuss the incident with your school's counselor. S/he may be better equipped to deal with any issues that arise at school, and to get the boy (and his family) some help.

    Thanks to the AM exercise posters!

    Wow! This is so much fun to hear of other early a.m. exercisers. Right now I get up about 4:45am to go for a walk, then I do weights at home. As it gets darker I will add a reflective jacket and whistle to my attire. I love this time of the day to work out, everyone else in the house is asleep...

    I am very hurt and sad and need advice!

    Your husband is human. That being said I know how difficult it is when someone you love and trust betrays you. He makes his choices and must live with the consequences. Be strong in your expectations. You deserve nothing less than a healthy, honest, loving, empowering relationship. There is...

    Medela or Ameda Breast pump?

    RE: Ameda Breast pump? With my 2nd child I really wanted to continue nursing after I returned to work. I spent a lot of time reading consumer ratings and comments about pumps at sites like BabyCenter. I teach in a high school so I needed something fast and effective. I bought the Medela pump...
