    Talks of Mammogram Screenings AFTER 50

    I wonder if under the new govt health care bill, they won't pay for mammograms for women under 50 because of this new report? And if not, wouldn't that be sort of "lucky" timing for the government? Of course, we'll have to wait and see, but personally I like having the option under the...

    Not sure if I've pulled something..........?

    I would go to the doctor to make sure it's only a pulled muscle. It probably is, but better to make sure. And I would absolutely take a rest day. Exercise is no good for you if you're in pain all the time!

    New Job/when to workout?!

    I think even 20 minutes a day of intense exercise is enough to keep you strong and healthy, and it sounds like you will be moving around during the day. Don't make exercise another source of stress. Focus on your diet, and you should keep your wieght in check. Instead of trying to exercise off...

    chrismtas music already?!?!?!

    A friend of mine, a huge tough cop with a crew cut :eek: started listening to Christmas music in October! He insists that any month that ends in "ber" is fair game for Christmas. He's like a big kid, it just kills me!

    devestated

    My husband and I eloped! It was the second marriage for both of us, we had a houseful of stuff and didn't need anything, and just decided to do it. We honeymooned in New York City, and called family from there to tell them. I think they were all secretly releved that we did it! :eek:

    Man spends 18 yrs in prison for crime he didn't commit

    Well, this is still the America I want to live in. :eek: Nothing is perfect, so society is perfect, we are made up of people and there are flaws and mistakes, but this is still the best darn country to live in, with the best chances of a long, fruitful, and free existance. It is awful that...

    Man spends 18 yrs in prison for crime he didn't commit

    Yup, that's an overstatement, we aren't even in the same ballpark as Iran. We are .02, they are .25, so we are 2,000 per 100K, and they are 25,000! Big difference! (and yes, I had to get the calculator out) :p

    devestated

    Morningstar makes a really excellent point. Maybe they felt that nobody acecepted her, and didn't want their big day to be spolied by grumbles and long faces from the family. It's too late now to change things, so I would suppport your brother, and let him know he has your unconditional love...

    "DC Sniper" should be dead in about an hour. Good.

    Sorry, I thought you had radar for these things!! :eek: Yeah, it occurred to me that I hadn't seen you, and almost started a "Where's Laura?" thread! Oh, and for those that wrote that they never saw my title line as a "pop the champagne" moment, yes, and THANK YOU. There were several reasons...

    "DC Sniper" should be dead in about an hour. Good.

    I thought I had made it abundantly clear that I don't have any problem stating my opinion, under my own name. That other post was not me. You can write to the moderator and ask them, they can check IP addresses or whatever else it is they do to check for that stuff. But I have never hidden my...

    favorite split

    Oh, man, when I read "favorite split" I was going to say "banana" :p Ok, as far as exercise splits, I won't be much help because I've been doing better with a little of each every day, rather than a cardio day, then a weights day. So, I might do 20 minutes of run/walk, 15 minutes of squats and...

    low intensity ladies.....update?

    Still doing lower intensity (full-body weight workouts, walk/run, yoga), and have kept off the 10 pounds without even trying. I'm going to ramp things up again for a while, mostly because I want to lose 5 more pounds. 125 was always my best weight, and I'm almost there :D Whee! I think...

    Real controversy--Let's talk pie!

    Not much of a pie fan, but I'd probably get the pecan, pick all the nuts off, and throw the gooky stuff underneath away. :p Every Thanksgiving I made a pumpkin cheesecake with pecan-butter-brickle crust. Omigod, is that gooooooood!

    "DC Sniper" should be dead in about an hour. Good.

    LMAO!!! OMG, I nearly spit my coffee out all over the keyboard, just getting a visual!!! Thanks for the laugh! :eek: Now I'm wondering if there are any YouTube 80's videos of chickens in shiny blue spandex.... :p

    "DC Sniper" should be dead in about an hour. Good.

    Gosh, I'm a bully? :( Ok, girls, let's just take a deep breath....If I were a GUY and said what I said, plain and forthright, nodody would have blinked! C'mon, you know it's true!! That would just be chalked up to a guy speaking his mind. But a girl speaks up, and I'm a bully? I really don't...

    "DC Sniper" should be dead in about an hour. Good.

    Thank you, Liann :) ------- For the record, I just find it so interesting that Jonezie launches a personal attack on me after quoting Ghandi and bringing God and judgement into the discussion, and I'm the one that's mean? Huh. I stated my opinion in the very beginning, and didn't attack...

    HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY TO ALL VETERAN CATHLETES!

    Thanks, that was nice! :) How about a roll call? All the vets say "AYE!" I'll say AYE because I'm a Navy vet, my Dad, sister and brother are Air Force vets, my husband and mother are Army vets, and my other brother is a Marine vet. Phew!

    "DC Sniper" should be dead in about an hour. Good.

    Really? I never expressed joy or made it sound like we should pop champagne. I titled this thread appropriately with my opinion plain for all to see, having been one of the many people in this area terrorized by Muhammad. There was never any “joy” as you say….just clear acknowledgement that in...

    Alli

    Now, now, Stephanie, Alli does not cause unpleasant side effects!! They are called "treatment effects" :rolleyes: on their website, and are described as: "...bowel movement changes (that) may include oily spotting, loose stools and more frequent stools that may be hard to control." I had to...
