Kathyrn, Many people are old at 50. You only have to visit Wal-Mart to see how true it is. But you're not one of them. Shari

I just wonder if this is some kind of wacky research project rather than the "real thing," especially considering the degree she's seeking. Following that same line of thinking, I wonder how many of the bidders are married. Shari

My migraines were caused by too much thyroid medication. They were so bad, I was seeing double. How weird is that? The doctor dropped the dosage, and they went away. Shari

THANK YOU!!!!! You did save someone a lot of aggravation. Shari

I'm a fifth grade teacher, and I feel that is waaay too much homework! I think ALL of this testing nonsense is ridiculous. That's where all this homework is coming from, by the way. The No Child Left Behind laws created higher standards that schools must meet every year. By the year 2012...

I've had very similar problems, so I have lots and lots of ideas. Let's start with the simplest first. You might try upping your calories, as others have already suggested. Just 100-200 calories a day at first. Adding protein would probably be your best bet. You also mentioned that...

We have been working to get and keep my thyroid balanced for about ten years now. Right now, I'm doing great, but it has been a long hard road. One of the problems is that my body doesn't respond like most people's. Because of my long history of yo-yo dieting, my body is easily thrown into...

Gayle, My list of rules, both at home and as a fifth grade teacher, are almost exactly the same as yours. I take a lot of heat for it, but I agree with you completely. We and our children are all happier when they have boundaries. Of course, this includes setting boundaries for ourselves...

My husband proposed to me on my lunch hour in the reception area of the government office where I worked, and we were married a few hours later. We already had an unspoken agreement and we both hate a fuss. So when he came in and said, "Hey, want to get married?" I said, "Sure, why not. I'll...

Did it. Shari

Well, I guess I have my real-life dream job already. I teach fifth grade in a small rural school where I feel I am needed and appreciated. It's a good feeling. Of course there are things I would change, but overall, I think this is about as good as it gets. My fantasy dream job is movie...

I started out with Weight Watchers and lost 99 pounds. Then I used a program called physiquetransformation.com and lost another 24. It taught me how to eat properly. I am still using it to stay on track, although I don't need it all the time. I just use it once or twice a week to make sure...

I haven't tried them, but would you believe, they're even selling them at Wal-Mart now! Shari

I'm sad to say, I'm not ordering. I have every other video she's every made, but I'm just not up to it right now. My fitness level isn't there, and I really can't afford it. I truly have all the videos I need to build myself back up. Then, when I get back to my former fitness level, I plan...

I don't use sunscreens at all because I have a weird hormonal reaction to them, similar to that "mask of pregnancy" skin discoloration some of us (me) get temporarily. I get deep brown patches on (under?) my skin that leaves me with an ugly, mottled complexion that last for months, sometimes...

Just curious. This is a test post to see what kind of member I am. Shari

OMG, I'm so jealous. If I had to depend on cleavage . . . well, I'd be buying a new ipod. Thanks for the snicker, Shari

I also believe this is a posture-related issue. I admit, my posture is often terrible. I get the most relief from doing that yoga stretch (don't know what you'd call it) where you bend at the waist and hang with your arms folded, really relaxing into it. I do this numerous times a day for a...

I've camped out a lot -- ever since I was a little girl. And I absolutely adore dogs. I have four of my own. We always took our dogs camping with us. We loved having them there, and they had a ball. With that said, though, I don't think I would take yours -- for the social reasons you...

My doctor's office takes bp twice. The nurse takes it the first time when I first get into the examining room, then the doctor takes it again when she arrives. It always drops by a significant amount by the time the doctor gets there. Shari
