I'm always looking up real estate in other places. We have our feelers out in he job market and whenever something comes up I immediately look up housing costs. Location is everything when it comes to home costs, it's crazy, it really has little to do with the house. We live in a small town...

I have 2 kids and both will need braces. We are looking at about $5,000 each (USD) and our insurance sees orthodontics as cosmetic and won't pay a dime. I aslo think it makes a big difference. A few of my adult friends have gotten braces... wishing big time they could have gotten it over with as...

I have always had really dry skin. When I get out of the shower I feel like my skin is 2 sized too small. I've used tons of moisturizer all my life. I few months ago I switched to using pure natural oils on my skin and I can't believe the difference. My skin is better moisturized all the time...

I want to read the Kite Runner. I read Middlesex - good but weird. Read Stone Diaries - Loved it! That would be a good choice.

Thank you all for your replies (and for saying my boys were cute joanne). I think I knew that requiring helmets wasn't being strict - that just seems like the wrong word for it. It seems like a no-brainer decision to me. That's why I can't believe how few kids wear them. I wondered if it was...

Welcome mimi. I have the same problem with my hamstrings. haha on the 2 inchs shorter person, that's a good way to put it. I have improved a little by just taking lots of time to stretch when warm. I relax into the stretch and hold it for a long time. My favorite hamstring stretch is the one...

>I'm surprised that the PE teacher wouldn't require kids of >that age to wear helmets on a school function. NOt doing so >certainly gives them the message that it's o.k. not to, or >even better not to. Oh Kathryn! I agree. I went to the teacher and the school principle last year asking...

Kims post about her 13 year old made me think of one rule that we are apparently the only parents in my town to enforce. I cannot believe it! It's wearing a bike helmet while riding a bike. We have always enforced the rule, no helmet, no bike. My kids put the helmet on automatically, it's like...

I feel your pain Pinky! I think I had your parents, and I had a very rebellious teenhood. Teens are going to be hard years for anyone, but the one best meter on how well we get through these years is how good and open the teen/parent relationship is. Kim: Is the issue the dating (potential...

Books! One of my favorite subjects. If you like the Notebook and Nicholas Sparks you should also try the Locket (series) by Richard Paul Evans. They are a similar and both great. Suzannes Diary for Nicholas is just so sad, with a twist at the end. An unexpected but good book James Patterson...

I know the feeling wendy. First they intrude on your life by calling you, then have the nerve to be rude! I used to be pretty nice and listen to them then say sorry, not interested. Then I got a call once, listened to the speel and said sorry, not interested and the guy says ok BITCH! OMG! I...

The weather is so screwed up. We've been having a week in the 90's then the next week is highs in the 30's. Last night the weather forcaster said that in western south dakota (I'm in eastern ND) that the snow fall from this storm will be measured in FEET. omg. That is so wrong.

Lots of good bean ideas here. I love this black bean salad: http://vegetarian.allrecipes.com/az/BlackBeanAndCornSaladII.asp

We aren't going anywhere this summer... saving up for our family reunion next summer. We are having our reunion on a cruise ship to Alaska. It will be a blast. I don't get to see my family much since I live so far away.

I second the rebounder suggestion. I love mine and would use it for all my cardio but don't for the sake of variety. I think most people buy the Urban Rebounder. It seems to be the best one for the price. I have one and couldn't be happier with the rebounder. Their customer service isn't...

Thanks pinky, I will look up Jai in PUB and see. I'm still confused by the 2 pic links here. Shelly... in that diagram you posted... what is in the white part with no name? I can see the blue part of the diagram looking like a horseshoe just fine, and the legs are what attaches to the elbow...

>>What are the 'horseshoe heads" of the tricep? Cathe says it >>all the time in HC triceps and that's the first time I've >>heard that. > >Actually, she says "horseshoe legs" (and sooo many times, how >could you forget?;-) ) LOL you are right! How could I get that wrong. Once she says...

This is going to sound awful but I HATE tipping. Just give me the price and I'll pay it. If they want more they should up the price, I will gladly pay what ever is asked. But for some reason I find tipping sort of condescending. I feel like I'm saying *here... you poor thing... you don't make...

What are the 'horseshoe heads" of the tricep? Cathe says it all the time in HC triceps and that's the first time I've heard that.

I get nauseous and light headed if I workout on an empty stomach. My blood sugar plummets and I get so weak I need to lay down. Maybe the MM workout on that particular day just asked too much of your body. Maybe it depends on the what and when of the last time you ate. I would try just a few...
