    DIY t-shirts: a question about iron-on transfers

    Thanks for your response, Kathryn. The iron-on transfers I have found in stores are for cotton/polyester blend only. I had googled, too, without getting very far. Unfortunately, the Berda transfers have to be applied using a heat press, not a home iron, so that won’t work, but I do very much...

    DIY t-shirts: a question about iron-on transfers

    I'd like to make my own t-shirt using a performance shirt such as an Under Armour tee, which is 95% polyester and 5% elastane. Does anyone know of a brand/type of iron-on transfer that would work on material like this? In the past I have used iron-ons w/ regular cotton tees, but this is for...

    How to help a friend that might have cancer

    I think the best thing to do right now is not assume the worst. I know it's impossible not to worry, but help her not to panic. An abnormal pap can come from other things, and the cyst may be benign or it may be endometriosis, as another poster mentioned. I would say maybe take her to a funny...

    website probs? or is it me?

    I did have an issue yesterday, but it happened with another website, too, so I figured it was Firefox. The websites came up, but instead of text, both of them just showed empty boxes in place of the letters. Weird. Safari worked fine.

    how can i prevent back pain from running?

    Yes, that’s correct, but you do want to strive for mostly back-and-forth motion. I agree not to force it. Let it come naturally, and you will likely see a difference in the u/b tension you are feeling as I did. Oh, I forgot to mention previously, another form tip that works for me is having...

    how can i prevent back pain from running?

    Years ago, I remember reading in RW a form tip that really made a difference in my running efficiency: keep the arms loose, elbows at 90°, back and forth movement (not across the body), hands as if you're holding a potato chip. I was running with my arms tensed, too high up by my chest, which...

    kudalini yoga

    I tried Fat Free Yoga and Ultimate Stretch (both with Ravi Singh & Ana Brett) and concluded it was not my brand of yoga. No offense to anyone else, I just remember I felt sorta ridiculous doing it. It's been a long time since I tried it, but IIRC, I think it was the breathing & the chanting...

    I am abso-freakin-lutely DONE!!!!!!!!

    Totally understand your need to cut ties at this time. You did the right thing by calling the police and made numerous attempts in the past to help him...I think he is beyond your reach now and needs professional help. He still sounds very unstable and very angry, and given his recent violent...

    Question about shower gift for tomorrow

    Let me preface this by saying, I am very much anti-bridal shower. I don't see a purpose in it except to collect more gifts from people, and frankly, I'd rather have bamboo shoots shoved under my fingernails than play one more game of bridal bingo. :p Anyway, I know the shower in question has...
