    Unique words or expressions?

    Being a transplant myself from calif to the midwest I notice some of the local dialect. You Minnesotans should recognize some of these: One is that I will never get used to calling lunch dinner! It's breakfast, dinner, and supper here. Hotdish - the main course. Oh for (anything)...

    What are you doing with your kids

    I really don't like the typical school year schedule. The scool year is toooo long, kids get sick of it, then summer is tooo long, and they get sick of that too. I would much rather have year around school with more frequent, shorter breaks. Anyway, that's not an option here so we try and...

    Bringing up microdermabrasion again....

    I've been doing home peels too. I have to be very careful and go slow (using low strength products and leaving on a very short time), but the results have been great, even with my ultraconservative approach. The change in my skin is actually due to total change in skin care for me. In Feb I...

    The wickedly evil chocolate chip cookie recipe

    oh! I've made these. I made them for a party once. It's the chunked up chocolate bar that makes them so much more evil. I think this is a highly coveted Neaman Marcus recipe or something. I made these once and NEVER NEVER again LOL. They are TOOO good and last forever, even when you give half of...

    O/T Whining over Weather....

    I hear you! I had the worst cabin fever ever this winter/spring and I actually planted a lot of things when it was so warm in early April. I had a greenhouse set up to start seeds and everything (went all out this year). My greenhouse stuff was 3 inchs tall and got froze out! The greenhouse was...

    protein powder question

    So far Designer Whey has been my favorite. I've bought several kinds and could hardly use them they tasted so bad, I have one now that looked so good in print, but it tastes awful. I might just have to chuck it.

    What should I plant in the vegetable garden?

    Green beans! They are so easy and productive and yummy. I'm just putting in peas, carrots, spinach, lettuce mix, potatoes, and some herbs now. I have yellow squash, tomatoes, pumpkin, peppers, cucumbers, and some gourds (growing those just for fun... bird house gourds and stuff) all started in...

    User Names

    I love to see what people choose for usernames. I have seen some over the years that just stick with me. Like Ooops101. I thought that was the funniest name. Like a bonehead class in college, but an ooops class. I used to be geoducky because I'm a geologist and I like ducks LOL. Now I'm just...

    I'm feeling kind of blue today

    I can definitely relate to your post Debbie! I have moved around quite a bit with jobs and the excitement of moving to a new place was always positive. Then we moved here, to a very small town in the midwest, where everyone knows everyone and has no need for anyone new. The result was less than...

    How utterly depressing.

    > >I swear I got a lump in my throat when I read your post. We >had a painfully long winter here in New England. I think if >it snowed now I'd be suicidal. > That's me exactly! It has threatened snow here several times and yesterday it actually did it. It seems worse since we were teased...

    yayas forum

    I've tried a few times to get into that forum and have never been able to do it. I think ezboard forums are really cumbersome. When I click the link above I go to a membership by approval page and submit for membership and never hear anything back. I go to ezboard and register and then...

    Spinach

    When I grow spinach in my garden I have bushels of it to eat, since on one else in the family will touch it. I like to cook veggies and a protien (meat, chicken, fish etc) with Pam Olive Oil spray, and when things are browned and dry in the pan I add spinich and throw in a splash of chicken...

    So muscle really doesn't burn that many more calories than fat....

    """"According to the ACE Personal Training manual, muscle burns 25% more calories than fat."""" That doesn't make sense to me. Fat doesn't burn any calories (???) it just sits there and waits to be used as fuel. Maybe what the comment means is the calories used by the muscle to carry the fat...

    Moms - I need your advice

    My oldest son has had a couple bouts of poor sportness in games. Like others have suggested we got through it with plenty of discussion. My kids LOVE to play games and realize that it's a treat to get to play with parent/s. We just don't have the time to play games as much as they'd like. When...

    Microderabrasion crystals

    Hi Candi, no I do my own acid program at home. I have researched tons, I'm on boards that talk a lot about it, and I started very slowly with weak acids to know how my skin would react. My skin is very sensitive and over reacts to just about everything so I go very slowly. I use a 2%...
