    Confessions of a carb queen

    I'm an omnivorous carb queen and bread is also my downfall. I swear I could eat a whole loaf of warm buttered toast in 1/2 of a day. Any kind of soft, fresh bread doesn't stand a chance around me. And my daughter's discarded pizza crust? Mine, mine, mine!!! These days, as I try to drop...

    Another ________ walks into a bar joke.... It's kind of old, but cracks me up everytime. A bear goes into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says "Sorry, we don't serve beers to bears in bars". The bear gets mad and insists that the bartender serve him a beer. The bartender says...

    Toys...do you remember......

    I had an Easy Bake Oven, but as soon as the mixes that came with it were gone, that was it. No more easy baking. I had Barbie doll and a Midge doll. I also had a doll called Giggles. When you moved her arms in and out she would giggle. My brother talked me into letting him take it...

    ipod nano vs shuffle

    I vote for the shuffle if you will be using it primarily while running. I use the shuggle and don't even notice it's there. I clip it to the waist band of my shorts and run the headphone wire under my tank top and bra then out the top of my shirt. I have an iPod classic too and love it for...

    average running speed?

    Maybe I am misunderstanding the question.....wouldn't average running speed depend entirely on the total distance the runner is covering? For instance, average running speed for one mile would be much much faster than average running speed for a marathon. And then terrain must be considered...

    Seuss-isms

    My favorite Suess book is "I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew" I was real happy and carefree and young And I lived in a place called the Valley of Vung And nothing, not anything ever went wrong.... You should read the whole thing if you haven't before.

    I'm trying contacts for the 1st time ever--help!

    I am 49 and just got contacts for the first time a few months ago. My glasses have progressive lenses so I need correction for reading and distance. I have one of each contact. One eye has a lens for reading and the other eye has a lens for distance. I think it's called mono-vision. I...

    One or Two ear buds?

    This is what I do too! I save my earbuds for when I am on the TM or elliptical.

    Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest

    I'm so conflicted by the whole pedophile thing. He was acquitted and I don't think that, unlike the OJ case, jury nullification was the issue. I live near Neverland. When I took a criminal law class a few years ago the instructor, a police detective, strongly felt that he was guilty. He...

    What is your favourite Michael Jackson song?

    I always have at least two or three Michael Jackson songs on my ipod. Just this morning while on my eliptical I was listening to my current favorite, Blame it on the Boogie. Yes, I know it's a Jackson 5 song, but Michael's voice is prominent.

    Can I brag? :)

    If you watched the sunset then I am assuming you are on the west coast. I am too and having been here for over 20 years, I take our beautiful sunsets for granted. You've inspired me to take the time to enjoy it this evening. Also, the ocean is waaaay too cold for me to do anything but...

    Gowearfit/Boddy Bugg ?

    How do I know I am purchasing a GOOD charger? Is it based entirely on price or is there a specific brand that I should look for?

    Elliptical Machine recommendations

    I've had a Precor for about 3 years, I think. Maybe 4. It's a work horse, for sure. I got the least expensive model and so it only has a few workout programs, but it suits my needs. I LOVE it!

    I need a gift idea before Friday!

    Michele, It might seem generous but it is just a small token of my appreciation for her. Saying she is an amazing teacher borders on being an understatement. Not only has she taught my DD so much technically, but she's also been an incredibly positive role model. My DD absolutely adores...

    I need a gift idea before Friday!

    Thanks for the replies. A gift card with a nice note it will be. The reason she's leaving is because she will be attending grad school. She was accepted into the dance program at a prestigious school, which is quite expensive. Therefore, she is strapped for money. One more...

    I need a gift idea before Friday!

    My daughter has a private dance lesson once a week with an amazing teacher. My DD has learned so much in these lessons that she has graduated from Tap 1 to Tap 2. Sadly, the last lesson with this teacher will be on Friday because she is moving out of the area on Saturday. I'd like to...

    food chains having to post nutritional info

    I certainly didn't think of this and completely agree. I'm just still po'd about ordering a grilled chicken dinner at Applebees only to find out later that it was one of the worst dishes on their menu. I never would have guessed. When we travel I stress out about what I am going to eat when...
