    Hoe do you handle health set backs?

    The biggest lesson I have learned ane belive me it took a long time to learn, was to allow myself to have setbacks. I have 2 herniated discs in my neck, carpal tunnel both since about 1984 and now for 2 years PF. I was just off six weeks due to neck pain. For years, I tried to workout over the...

    I've had about 6 cortisone shots for various injuries: runner's knee (2 shots), carpal tunnel, pf, neck problems...they were always a last resort and none of them worked long-term for me. Colleen

    Burning Feet?

    I think it's the high arches. I have high arches also and used to get a lot of burning. I finally got PF and then got my inserts. I noticed the burning stopped with the inserts. Colleen

    Hairdresser Gripe

    Thankfully my hairdresser is a perfectionist. I've been seeing her for 10 years. We've talked about everything personal I can think of so she'd probably wipe the hair right off my butt for me :) But I remmeber some in the past that were just awful. Colleen

    ANOTHER post about sneakers!

    I got fitted at Fleet Feet and went for comfort rather than specific aerobic shoes. I think I ended up with running shoes. I don't think it's going to hurt me to wear running shoes vs. crosstrainers vs. aerobic, etc. as long as they are comfortable. I have PF, and finding comfortable shoes is...

    You know what rocks?

    The only problem I have with the dog food is that the size of the bag makes it more difficult. But with 4 dogs, we go through a bag in 3 weeks so I get a lot of practice carrying it. 2 of my dogs are 40-45 lbs and much easier to carry than a bag of dog food :) Oh that reminds me last year...

    New neighbor's dog pooping on our property!

    Irresponsible dog owners drive me crazy! Is there a leash law in your state? If so, neighbor is breaking the law if his/her dogs go off their property without a leash. I would first try talking to them. If that doesn't work. I'd call Animal Control myself. Colleen

    Hooters Restaurant

    It's the lie that would bother me. DH and I actually went to Hooters for the first time over the weekend. The waitresses aren't in anything less than what I see many young kids wearing these days. And the restaurant was full of families. The food is terrific. Colleen

    Yes you can. There are a couple of different theories as to why (which of course, I don't recall), but you can definitely retain water when you are sore. Colleen
