I'm just finishing up c25k. Downloaded the app onto my IPhone and I really like it. I've never really liked running but now I realize that running, like anything, gets easier with practice. Now I'm able to run 30 minutes straight which I could never do before. I'm a slow runner too, btw...

Yup, I have to put on my glasses in between STS sets. I also take them on the treadmill with me so I can read some of the settings on my HR Monitor. Damn.

I can't help you with info. about your surgery but just wanted to say if it will make you feel better, go for it. I had my nose fixed 20 years ago and I can't tell you what it did for my confidence. It was a decision I never regretted for one moment. Good luck.

I agree that first thing in the morning workouts tend to be more consistent. I moved my workouts the evenings (the time change through me for a loop) but I just went back to mornings because its so easy to miss workouts at night. Things just always get in the way. On another note, if your...

When I first graduated from law school I worked for an insurance defense firm. One of my primary tasks was to find ways that an insurance company could deny a claim (not specifically for health insurance but for all types of insurance). Rescission for errors on an application was one of...

I love greens. Have some kale on the stove right now. Yum that recipe sounds tasty.

You are looking at at the issue of rescission incorrectly. Rescission happens when an insured gets sick and then the insurer combs through their application to find an inconsequential error i.e, an indisclosed or forgotten back strain, an abnormal pap smear etc. The insurance company will then...

You're just plain wrong. Insurance companies rescind policies all of the time. I explained about a case I had where the company did just that. They will look for minor mistakes in an insurance application as soon as you get sick cancel you policy. In the case I had, the insurer refunded the...

Dorothy, you appear to very well read up on this subject. Wasn't one of the problems in Mass is that cost controls were never the focal point from day one. I believe their entire issue was getting people insured and were not concered about the cost. Also Romney (yes, the same Romney is who...

I'd be curious to see if any of the smart ladies (or gentlemen) out there can explain the increase of money in circulation. If I recall from Econ 101 it likely has something to do with the recession and monetary policy used to combat the recession. I can't say for sure, because I am not an...

You are correct, DeeDee. I was giving Bush way to much credit for his crafty speeches. I'm quite sure he could not have written a paragraph much less an entire speech.

Dorothy, I just wanted to say I appreciate that we disagree and kept this civil. Clearly, I'm a huge Obama supporter and a blue to the core Dem. I don't get the feeling you are which is absolutely fine. It was great debating with you, but, man this can get time consuming. Signing off this...

Bush and Co. cherrypicked the evidence that supported their position. There was alot of evidence that did not support their intel but that was completely ignored and they just went with the questionable intel, selling it as the gods honest truth. Going back now and and claiming they didn't...

I'm not buying it. If Bush had many reasons to believe this claim was false and then asserted it as if it were a fact to sell the nation on war, does that make it less of a lie? Not in my book. See link below for more lies. http://projects.publicintegrity.org/WarCard/

Well said.

Bush was very crafty in his language. You can go back and listen to his various speeches and he always linked 9/11 and Sadam Hussien. Maybe he didn't say so explicitly but he deliberately wanted us to believe it was true. If the intel was wrong then why did Bush and his cronies try to...

Proof? Are you seriously questioning whether Iraq attacked us? It is well known and conceded by Bush they did not. Were there nuclear weapons in Iraq? It is well documented that there were none. Joe Wilson exposes the fact that there were no nucs and his wife was outed as a CIA agent to try...

Bush lied plain and simple. He tried to tell us Iraq attacked us. Lie. Bush told us Iraq had nuclear weapons and planned to attack us. Lie. He told us Iraq wouldn't allow inspectors in to inspect. Lie. Bush implied over and over that we would die if we didn't take them out I guess it's...

Yeah, I agree, Stupak fully intended to vote for healthcare reform all along. As for the wars, I would have preferred that we not invade Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.
