Isn't it funny I thought I was the only one who had such trouble shopping. When I wander through a store I attach all of my insecurities to all of the clothes on the hangars. DH walks through the stores with a fresh eye. He hands me piles of stuff and sends me to the dressing room. He is...

whenever I go clothes shopping with DH I come home with a whole new wardrobe. Maybe that is why he only goes shopping with me every few years:o

I have to tell you all that last night I was having a major pity party so I decided to try chocolate therapy. I have to say in the middle of my piece of chocolate cake I felt much better and had a whole different perspective on the situation. I would say they should bottle that stuff to make...

I have no advice in this situation except to say I am so proud of you for caring about the welfare of this young man and having such a strong sense of self that you are willing to take action on your uncomfortable feelings. So in case no one else says this to you thank you for caring so much...

I used to be very type A, but now I am pretty relaxed. Some of it is that my life is a lot easier than it used to be, some of it is that my attitude has changed quite a bit. When I was looking to change I happened upon the book Full Catastrophe Living by John Kabat-Zinn. I was desperate...

Yep, all the time. I carry a lot of muscle for a woman and I like to lift to failure and I crave protein all the time. Really crave protein, like stay away from me until I get meat, crave protein. It is to the point that we always have some sort of immediately available protein in our fridge...

Thank you for all of your ideas. I love the pool option since I was a swimmer in college, but I developed a chlorine allergy several years ago. I really miss the smooth feeling of the water on my skin and the pure silence as you swim under water. Yesterday I tried biking on my spinning...

I am normally a really happy person, but I have been so cranky lately. I am thinking it is because I have stress fractures in both feet so I haven't been able to work for a month, all I can do is sit and try to let them heal. Whenever I try to accomplish anything my feet really hurt and I feel...

As someone who has spent waaaaaayyyyy too much time in hospitals I have to let you know that you probably made that patients day too. The days are too long, lonely and scary in the hospital and any source of human contact is more appreciated than the giver will ever know. So from all of the...

I spent my 40th at the Hershey's Spa. Surprisingly it didn't involve me eating chocolate, but it did involve bathing in, being scrubbed with and massaged with chocolate. And shockingly the spa lunch desserts mostly weren't chocolate. Anyway it was a wonderful pampering day that I will always...

No experience with vasectomies either, but like BuffyR I have had an IUD for 5 years. It has been wonderful to the point that I need to get mine removed (this Friday) and I am having another one put it at the same time. Best invention ever! Though this time it will be me with a bag on peas on...

I also want to know about tattooing over scars. I have several scars in the location that I want my next tattoo so I want to know if it is possible.

I would love to be able to cook a curry. Everyone says they are so easy, but they scare me. So to start, what is a Naan? Shayne

I am thinking you are messing with the self-perception of the people in the class, this is why... In most of my classes I find that most people want to get away with as little work as possible while wondering why they don't get the results they are looking for. There becomes this sort of group...

I always wish I had a Cedie when I am teaching just in case I get off a rep or two.

I took Tae Kwon Do as an adult and loved it. I achieved my first degree black belt. I have been out of it for several years and miss it very much. I learned a lot from the training that had little to do with the punches and kicks. I actually think just about every person (child and adult)...

It sounds like a great experience. I have always wondered what these guys are really like. We see them when they are under a lot of stress physically and mentally so I wondered how their personalities are different when they are relaxed. I know what you mean about being sick after fair...

This is where I aspire to be. I know I will never be small enough to be considered thin by society, all I really want is to have a weight that is healthy for me that my body maintains naturally. I am so tired of the constant struggle that it sounds like a complete relief to me. Shayne

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good whole grain cookbook? I would like to add more whole grains in my diet, but I don't have any good ways to prepare them. Any recommendations would be appreciated. TIA Shayne

Thanks for the ideas. I will get sweet potatoes at the store today and try cutting them into rounds. If this works I will probably be eating them every day for months :p:o
