Oops, guess I ought to get an avatar for the above post... Heidi

<--- Says Hi to Robin, Amelia, and all others! <--- admits this is the first time at this game... <--- has a full plate with baseball games today <--- waits impatiently for warm weather!! <--- is going to the chiropractor for some upper back relief <--- is jealous of Robin's yellowstone...

That poor girl...how humiliating it must be to have your wet crotch all over the internet. My DH and oldest son rode it last year - at night and in the front car. The picture they take during the ride was priceless!! Heidi

I sure hope you misstyped and are not applying Advantix to your cat, but Advantage?? Advantix is lethal for cats and only for use in dogs. It is true about the company's guaranteeing their product. If you purchase heartworm prevention from an online pharmacy and your dog becomes heartworm...

So, after everyone's advice to do more wt. lifting vs. cardio to decrease body fat (really, I'm not obsessing about this:o ), I'd really rather do this at home vs. at our YMCA. I have a barbell and hand weights and here are the cathe w/o's I have. Which would be best? Gym Style Legs...

Ok, so I'm over it (my 27% body fat, that is)...well, I'm not upset about it anymore, but I do want to know how to lose fat and not muscle. I would like to see that number go down but I know that I don't have much weight to lose. I could lose another 3-4 pounds but I get a bit gaunt looking...

Thanks for the advice and encouragement not to worry about it. Also, that article was really interesting,Pat. Thanks for posting the link. Interesting that you can outwardly thin but still fat on the inside, lol. I'm not going to let it bother me, really..no, really! I may get it retested...

Hi everyone, My DH's work (university) is doing health screening yearly and if you go and get screened for cholesterol/glucose/BMI/mental health you get $40/month off of your insurance premiums. Well, I think that's a great idea -- so we signed up, of course. I had my testing yesterday with...

Patti - Congratulations - that is awesome! 5ks are so much fun - well, actually fun when they are done, lol. Don't know how far you are from Toledo, but check out some races down there - we are at a lot of them. I've also googled races in Southern MI to see what else is out there. So, are...

Laura, I'm not sure how much my treadmill workouts have helped my time improvement to date - as I said in a previous post, I really went slow on my first few races due to fear of recurring knee problems, but since they've abated (for now -thanks to my beloved foam roller!) I've been running...

Thanks for the advice, everyone! Looks like I've got some sprinting ahead of me. I wish I could get to our local track more. It's closed most of the time to the public other than when school is in session. Laura - the improvement I've seen to date is more of me just putting more into it...

Hello fellow runners! So, I'm hooked on these 5ks! Have run several the past 2 months and have improved my time from about 27 mins to 23:58 which I'm very pleased with. I've been placing 1st and 2nd in my age group which helps maintain the addiction, lol. Here's my question. My last two...

I love the idea of putting the stickers on items with HFCS/trans fats with the kids - brilliant! We'd also add MSG to our list of big no-no's that we are on the lookout for. Takes me back to when I was a child my mom had these stickers that said "this is offensive to women" She'd put it on...

Here's some of my faves (most from my MIL) science infection = sinus infection bronichal = bronchial electrical lights = electrolytes smilin' mighty Jesus = spinal meningitis cadillacs = cataracts I'm a vet so we get some good ones from clients such as... Occasionally I've gotten an...

I say do it! However, I'd strive for the 1/2 marathon for now. That will give you plenty of time to train. If you go to runnersworld.com they even have training guidelines that will help you know how much to run per week, etc. Can you get a buddy to train with? That would help too, I'm...

Regarding blue man group, yes, the view was great from the third row, but even though we had ponchos on, we hardly got anything on us. The front row got a bit more than us, but it wasn't like Gallagher smashing pumpkins or anything:o Heidi

Wow, I didn't know Giordano's was so famous! I thought it was just a place we picked with pizza, but that deep dish pizza was amazing! Gin and tonics weren't too bad either;) Next time we go, we plan on doing Shedd Aquarium and the other museums close by. If only hotel rooms weren't so...

Wow, what a fun town. It's urban yet approachable -not daunting and overwhelming like NYC. We had such a blast. Took too tour buses full of total 80 parents/children. Those children were phenomenal. All of them did so well on all of the tours - they were so patient and respectful (wish I...

Another vote for SIGG! Heidi
