    Should I be committed?

    I am a customer advocate for a software program. I get to walk people through using their software. Do not even get me started. I swear, sometimes it's like the Russians got us with idiot gas or something. I with Carola - several frying pans... the more the merrier!

    What would you do?

    I'm not quite sure what you do, but many places have the ability to work from home as well. If you could stay where you are and just drive in a few times a week, that might be the best of both worlds - although working from home is not for everyone. I can do it one or two times a week, but...

    Is your dog a killer, too?

    Wow! That's scary/impressive! I agree that not allowing her off leash is probably a good idea. If you want to let her run, consider getting a long lead (a leash that is about 14 feet long) so that if she does take off, you can grab the end of the leash (or at least stamp on it with your...

    Bad Writing....

    ROFLMAO! Just what I needed for a slow end of quarter (shhh, don't tell my boss!). This one killed me (but I have an odd sense of humor) - Detective Pierson mentally reviewed the group of suspects milling around the recent crime scene-two young siblings eating gingerbread, a young girl in a...

    Help with my 4 year PLEASE!!!

    I actually disagree that your daughter is manipulating you. I think she’s honestly scared. She actually sounds like me to a point. I was terrified of many things about that age (as was my daughter, actually – the result of an over active imagination on both of our parts). I frequently went...

    I decided to only do cardio for 1 month

    As I'm training for a 100 mile bike ride, I've been lowering the weight work and increasing cardio. I've been doing hard hill work on the spin bike a few days a week and sprinting as well. My endurance is amazing - rode 78.55 miles on Saturday and I feel great - and like others have said, my...

    My new favorite Jazz Musician

    I saw him live at the Santa Cruz Jazz Festival along with BB King (man what a show!!!) and was impressed - he plays most of the instruments - guitar, saxophone, keyboards and writes all of his own music. He's 29 and one of the up and coming artists. I do not know him, and have nothing to do...

    average running speed?

    Hmm - I didn't even run my HALF marathon in that time... :rolleyes: I think you'll find that the majority of average runners (meaning us every day folk who get out there and trudge the streets for exercise and not for a living) run between 9 MPH and 11 MPH. If you look at any half marathon...

    NEED ADVICE-SON'S WEIGHT

    At the age of 8 I'd be more worried about his own self image than 7-8 pounds of weight gain. My daughter always put on weight right before a growth spurt. She would chunk up, then grow an inch over night and slim down. I swear. I think the most important thing you can do right now is to not...

    Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest

    Regardless of what anyone thought of Michael Jackson the man, especially in his later years, the indisputable fact is that he was a musical genius. There is no one in my generation or the next who has influenced music the way Michael has. Most of the music videos you see today are influenced...

    My one year anniversary

    You're right, Michele - she did the same for me. I was going through a rough time, and she comforted me! What a great lady.

    June 30th: My last cigarette!!!

    You can do it! I did about 12 years ago. I found it harder to deal with stress - you don't realize how calming going out and taking deep breaths while inhaling that smoke can calm you. Think about that, and come up with an alternative. I found getting out and taking a short walk when I got a...

    Carola - you truly are an inspiration. You know I adore you, my fellow Aussie lover, and I'm honored that you call me a friend.

    Russell Crowe-Robin Hood

    Oooh, any chance to see Russell Crowe on a white horse... *sigh* I would not want to live with the man, but I sure like looking at him. :D I, too, hope the actor is okay.
