    Are you only concidered beautiful when you have long hair ???

    I agree with the others on this thread who say that you should go with what you like and not worry about what some male co-workers think looks good. And, as someone mentioned, I'll bet they wouldn't turn down Halle Berry. Trixoo, you are correct, too, in that most women (including me) cannot...

    Anybody Have a Washing Machine Recommendation?

    Thanks everyone. I appreciate your input. I ended up getting a Maytag Bravo Centennial priced at $542. After looking at all the online reviews on the new HEs, I decided it was pretty much a tossup. I might as well plan on whatever I buy not lasting more than 6-8 years regardless of price...

    Anybody Have a Washing Machine Recommendation?

    Thanks, Susan. I do think that someone bought out Maytag--might have been Whirlpool which is what I have now. But I should have mentioned that Consumer Reports was how I ended up with this one. They gave it a high rating, so I hesitate to go that route again. You are fortunate that you found...

    Anybody Have a Washing Machine Recommendation?

    My $800+ washing machine that is only about six years old bit the dust. After a repair several months ago of over $200, now it has another problem that would cost over $300 to repair. So this one is toast. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good machine? I am not looking for anything...

    Fun Poll...Doggie Roll Call!

    I have a 7-year-old chocolate lab named Miss Dolly. She is 100 pounds of joy and love. My precious little Buddy (another chocolate lab) died last year on Memorial Day, and for the first time in many years I am down to one dog. As a result, Miss Dolly has become very spoiled indeed. She...

    protein bar

    Roselyn--I like the Vega bars. They are not high protein--just 9g--but they are made from real, raw foods including wheatgrass, spirulina, kale, buckwheat sprouts, almonds and dates. Larabars are good, too, and they seem to be a favorite among many here on this forum. Nicole--Thanks for...

    Doritos: the cause of North America's obesity epidemic?

    NAN "When we kooky around with our food to make odd combos and flavors and goodness knows what, the nutrition goes out the window, and the obesity climbs in the window." We need to shut that window, lock it, and close the blinds. Dam(n) the doritos and full speed ahead with Cathe's new...

    For all women who are 40+, what is your skin care regime?

    (1) Sunscreen/sunblock on your face and neck every day, whatever the weather, will go a long way to help prevent some of the aging process. I have done this since I was about 30. I am now 61 and, while I do have wrinkles, I have never had an age spot on my face. (I do have them on my hands...

    (Another) Clean Eating question

    Thanks. I have checked into various "clean" programs and am having a problem figuring out how to get enough protein. I do not like meat and I can't make myself eat it. So I use eggs/egg whites, protein powder made from brown rice or hemp, and beans & rice/whole grains. The paleo program...

    (Another) Clean Eating question

    Fit44: "We eat nothing but single ingredient foods (protein, nuts, fresh fruit & veggies, healthy oils)." You do not mention bread, whole grain (wheat, oats, rice, barley, etc.) or wheat products. Does your clean eating regimen exclude those items???

    Hi Amanda, There is a lot of helpful advice in this thread, and I hope you find something that works for you in the replies you have gotten. I know how miserable it can be. What works for one person doesn't always work for another, so it is just trial and error until you find the right...

    whats your unhealthy vice

    I spend entirely too much time with my good friends Ben & Jerry! Bad influences, both of them! Although, I just discovered a new vice, as Haagen Dazs has come out with a new line of ice cream called "Five." Each flavor has only five ingredients--milk, cream, sugar, eggs, and whatever flavor...

    I tried the acai packets, and you are right, Tami, the stuff is awful. Tasted like rotten licorice. MissL
