    Would you have done it?

    Hmm, I may have done it, but like others said, may have been a bit preoccupied with the mammo and getting the girls all squished :) Speaking of grocery lists, have any of you ever watched that show on MSNBC or one of those newsy networks with the guy that interviews people who invent things...

    I SO want a dog!

    It is funny how sometimes it works out totally opposite of what you might think. I have so many clients that get dogs, husbands are totally against it, but guess who that dogs picks as "their person"? Yep, the one who supposedly least liked or wanted that dog! I've seen that happen so many...

    Smart Balance Peanut Butter

    I really prefer the Naturally More over the Smart Balance. I think the Smart Balance tastes kind of burnt for whatever reason. I take a piece of high fiber bread toasted with Naturally More PB then cover it with fresh blueberries and strawberries - yummy! Speaking of high fiber bread, I...

    What Old Fashioned Remedy or Solution you use for illness, cleaning, etc??

    I do agree that food does help a lot. I really don't think I could've stomached a greasy burger let alone a drink - ack! A little hair of the dog that bit ya, they say... Yes, I'm only an occasional drinker myself - I think hangovers are actually a good thing...makes you think twice about...

    What Old Fashioned Remedy or Solution you use for illness, cleaning, etc??

    Any old fashioned remedies for a nice old fashioned hangover? My friends took me out of my 40th birthday last night, and I feel nothing short of hellish today! I feel more like 80 today! But, how could I refuse all those free shots?:o Heidi

    Custom orthotics for plantar fasciitis

    Yes, Yes, Yes!!! I cannot live without my orthotics - they were key in my PF recovery, and I wear them in EVERYTHING incl and especially my workout shoes. The night splints did absolutely nothing for me. I'm such a light sleeper and they really bothered me and I ended up kicking them off...

    dog people...please help

    You have gotten some really good advice here, but thought I'd chime in as well :) I'd be careful with hauling him back and forth from your dad's - I really think that will confuse him in the long run. Dogs are really pretty resilient - you just need to provide structure, a routine... he...

    Running in sand....

    I will echo the others that shoes are a must. Not only dangers of stepping on sharp objects, but I just don't think it's good for your feet. Coming from someone who's been battling plantar fasciitis, running barefoot, even on soft sand, is a big fat no-no! I'm jealous...I love running on...

    I-Pod ear piece????

    I just use the ear pieces that came with my Ipod but bought the foam covers. Seems to work fine for me, but it's nice to see other options! Heidi

    airbrush tan

    I bought a package of 5 but have only used 3 - I'm kind of on the fence about it. I did like the girl who did mine - I think it's better to have someone doing it by hand vs in one of the booths that are automatic. Just really watch those areas that "soak" it up - use the pre-tanner lotion on...

    Prayers out to the flooded in Ohio

    Wendi, My DH is one of veterinarians at the Univ. of Findlay and his office is at the English Farm! He couldn't even get there yesterday, but even though water is up all around, the offices, and more importantly, the horses are all ok. Apparently the barns are built up on fairly high ground...

    Costco Wholesale

    I'm a member of Sam's currently, but plan on switching to Costco once one opens nearby. More for the higher end quality items, prepared foods, etc. Oh, and sabra hummus ROCKS - what a great deal, and it's delish (sorry, channeling Rachel Ray there...) I also love the deal on blueberries...

    plantar's warts

    Both my sons have had these in the past few years, but thankfully I didn't get them. We went to a podiatrist who gave us medicines to apply for overnight and during the day and they slowly came to the surface and went away. They are nasty little boogers. Get them treated early like another...

    Prayers out to the flooded in Ohio

    Thanks for the thoughts and prayers...I'm actually in Findlay and right in the heart of the flooding. Thankfully, I'm on on "island" of about 25 unaffected homes. We got a LOT of water in our crawl space which has probably ruined our new...ouch...$5000 furnace, but quite honestly, having seen...

    Feet Pains

    Could be plantar fasciitis -- do LOTS of runner's stretches. Also hang each foot off of a stair to stretch out your calves. I've had PF on and off for 18 months. It is very quiet now, thank goodness, but I have to say that step aerobics really aggravated it (but running doesn't, go figure)...

    Have a dog with cancer? What did you do?

    Jen, I'm so sorry to hear about your boy - that's SO young to deal with cancer, but I have seen it happen unfortunately. Just take some deep breaths and try not to let your mind run absolutely wild with "what to do"s until you get all the information (I'm one to talk, the least bit of bad...

    iTread!!!!

    I love Itrain workouts as well. My faves are the ItriTrain - 15 mins on tread, 15 on climb, 20 on the bike and then back on the tread for 15 minutes. It's an awesome workout and I burn over 700 calories. Besides, with my plantar fasciitis AND IT band problems, this mixes it up enough that I...

    Disney World Question

    Interesting thread - great reading all the varying opinions... I'll have to say that I am REALLY bucking the whole Disney thing. I hate feeling guilty because my kids haven't "experienced Disney". I have absolutely NO desire to spend several thousand dollars to endure chaos and crowds and...

    Beach sandals with good arch support?

    I have PF, and although my podiatrist pretty much forbid me to wear flip flops...I was like, uh, mister, that is what I live in during summer....ack! Seriously, I found that Teva mush flip flops have done VERY well for me and have not caused my PF to flare at all. And for $22, you can't beat...
