    Casey Anthony-Your Thoughts

    Yeah, that. Mostly. I am not disgusted by the jury, I am disappointed that the prosecution couldn't produce more evidence. I think most of us are correct to believe she is guilty, as her behavior is horrifying. Everything about this woman and the circumstances SCREAMS guilty. I wonder if...

    everyone should know about this

    You are absolutely 100% correct about all of it. I do speak up, however. A LOT. I have written countless e-mails to managers and CEOs of stores, but nothing comes of it. They only see money. And the frustrating part is exactly what you said above, no matter what you do, it is a problem...

    everyone should know about this

    My question is: WHAT DO WE DO? I know we can make our own individual choices (to a point, as the economy sucks and none of us is making enough money anymore), however, what do we do to facilitate change? I'm learning every single day that this country is run by a bunch of corrupt freaks...

    Getting rid of cellulite by supplementing EFA's

    After a long time of taking massive quantities of EPAs (a very expensive, high quality one from my holistic doc) I can guarantee you that it does not help cellulite or weight in the least. Quite the opposite as far as I'm concerned. I also took not so massive quantities, and it didn't help...

    Raw food cookbook?

    To make searching easier, I would suggest looking up "low fat raw vegan" in order to avoid the "gourmet" raw food recipes that tend to take a lot of time, and, as Kathryn mentioned, tend to be WAY too high in fat. It will only make you feel worse. I would avoid the supplement trap, as well, of...

    Epiphany!! Limp-free & pain-free!!

    I just decided to quite seeing my physical therapist :\. I found a GREAT chiropractor who helped me more in one visit than the PT did in two weeks. As a matter of fact, those two weeks with her made me WORSE. After seeing the chiro 3 times, I went back to the PT, because I thought the...

    Question about a Dr. Phil show

    I think I may have seen parts of that same episode. I agree that it makes no sense. His argument that it is only abuse when the instigator is larger or stronger completely falls apart if you compare it to verbal and emotional abuse. Just because she may not be strong enough to single- and...

    Think you know your Microsoft?

    I finished my undergraduate degree last year, and while I don't want to be discouraging, going for my degree certainly didn't make my life better! You're doing it right by not going into debt, though. My SO really encouraged me not to wait a year to earn residency and just take out a loan...

    Do you ever just get fed up . . .

    YES!!! THAT! Exactly. And no need for apologies. Not a one. I was trying commiserate with you and kind of ended up seeming to compete with you. That's not what it was about. And even considering how much crap I've gone through, it would probably shock people to know what supposedly...

    Do you ever just get fed up . . .

    Hey Aquajock, It totally sounds like I was diminishing your frustration. I sound like a jerk. That wasn't my intention at all. I was in a bad mood and thought, Oh yeah! I know how she feels!! Your story was actually funny, but I got all riled up there with you. So, um... how did the...

    Do you ever just get fed up . . .

    My life since early 2008 has been nothing but relentless, streaming, generalized broad-spectrum bullshit coming from the universe. Between being in a car accident that totaled my car, to being so sick I couldn't leave my couch for 3 months and still not recovering to this day, to suffering such...

    Need help for dry, chapped lips. :(

    Thank you! I have accutane lips right now, and NOTHING else is working. I'll get some today.

    "Women who talk politics are such a turnoff."

    I HATE Patty. Hate her, hate her, hate her. The funny thing is that she claims that men do not like a lot of the qualities that she apparently doesn't realize she has. She has no idea what crap is flying out of mouth most of the time. And why change yourself??? I believe in taking care of...

    Just whining, I guess

    I have experienced a very similar problem, but mine started when I came down with mono over 2 years ago. I went from a fit, healthy, active, happy woman who mostly enjoyed her jobs, school, and hobbies, to a barely functioning, slothful, piece of crap. As soon as I became sick, I developed...

    What's one of the nicest things someone's told you about yourself?

    I was rushed to the ER a few days ago during a road trip. The ER doc told me he liked my socks - he had the same pair! :cool: That's it for me, but I'll take any compliment I can get.

    Something Bad For You That You Gave Up...But You Still Miss It?

    I gave up caffeine over two years ago. My body slowly became intolerant to it, but I didn't give it up completely because I had withdrawal symptoms that knocked me on my butt. When I became sick, I used it as an opportunity to quit. I THOUGHT it would bring only benefits, but I haven't...

    Little secrets - share!

    I've been using this tip since you first posted when this thread started. I use all the shampoos that I don't like anymore and clean the tubs and sinks daily with it. It's great! I use the conditioners I don't like as a shaving "gel" on my legs. No extra products sitting around and I don't...

    Lurkers are very interesting people...

    I've been here since 2001 and NEVER felt like I had anything important to say. I tend to stay out in "life" too. My biggest problem lately is that I'm so unhappy/bitter/grouchy with life that I don't trust myself to not be a jerk over the dumbest things. I realized that my posts consisted...

    Celiac Disease/Gluten Free Living???

    I've been eating gluten free/wheat free for a couple of years now. Gluten free is becoming pretty easy these days, and it was never a big deal for me. I'm not a huge bread eater. Eating out poses problems, and you have to eliminate a chunk of processed foods. I also do not believe you need...

    New Workouts- On the Fence Help Me Decide

    bonvivant, you are totally right. I don't even feel badly about it. I actually didn't care one bit about ordering the workouts at first. I think the pictures piqued my interest enough that I started wondering if I should indulge. But I won't. I have been on a strict no-buying spree in...
