    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Liann, I really didn't mean to preach at YOU. I don't think you are defending any kind of anti-gay position. I know it's touchy for people with a religion that teaches them to see homosexuality as a sin. Of course we can't do anything to change peoples' minds. I agree with you on that. But...

    Great article on veganism

    Phyllis, I'm SO delighted that you are making the switch. :D:cool::eek::p Zappos.com has vegan shoes and bags (just type "vegan" into the search option). Mooshoes.com carries vegan shoes, bags, and accessories. Veganessentials.com carries all kinds of vegan goods, including shoes. I'm...

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    Supporting equal rights for gay people isn't a matter of imposing beliefs/bashing others. It's social justice. Of course, it's a person's right to be anti-gay. Those of us in favor of equal rights for gays must accept that. What we cannot accept though is how anti-gay sentiment creates and...

    birth control dilemma

    For those of you with IUDs, what are the differences between Mirena v. Paraguard? Why did you choose the one you did?

    Perception of business practices

    This is what I mean! :o When I said why do we need more updates, I was assuming that everyone knew that she gives lots and lots of updates and that things are moving along just fine. Do we need updates multiple times a day? For me, once every few weeks is more than sufficient, so she more...

    Perception of business practices

    I don't really understand. What are you identifying as being a problem? I'm not saying they aren't real problems, but could you be more specific? What exactly are the issues? What specifically are the problems with the CS? With the forums? With SNM? It's obvious that some people are...

    Heartbeat, I can feel your heart beat...Any Don Johnson fans out there??? Anyone?

    Geez, I don't know--you might want to look at the Karvonen Formula, which is supposed to be more accurate than the 220-age one. Check out this link: http://exercise.about.com/cs/fitnesstools/g/karvonen.htm Just wondering though, how do you feel at 212 bpm? I think I'd be dead if I got there!

    Heartbeat, I can feel your heart beat...Any Don Johnson fans out there??? Anyone?

    Forgot to tell you my opinion. :) You know these formulas don't really work for everyone. Rate of Perceived Exersion (RPE Scale) is super important. My Polar tells me I'm out of my "training zone" at 150 (I don't know what it thinks my max is--sorry), but according to the RPE Scale, my...

    Heartbeat, I can feel your heart beat...Any Don Johnson fans out there??? Anyone?

    Can you break it down by BPM rather than %? What is your average HR when you exercise, and what's your max? If my poor math skills are right, do you get up around 200?
