    What do you wake up to?

    I wake up to music if I remember to put my ipod in the dock. Otherwise, it's a beeping alarm.

    First pickings in my garden

    I picked some arugla for the salad we had for dinner the other day. Still waiting on tomatoes, zucchini and corn.

    Single folk....personal question for ya

    Kathryn is exactly right! This is my second marriage and I experienced the feelings you are having in the time between this marriage and the first. But being remarried has not swept those feelings away forever......DH and I are not always in tune with one another and during those times I feel...

    Miss Lee

    Well, I can certainly tell you what NOT to do!! Like when you are in your late 40's, don't run a marathon where you left everything you had on the course and then run another marathon 2 months later, and then get depressed because your brother died and you can't run another marathon to have...

    Miss Lee

    Hi Tricia, I'm currently working my way back into running after having been away for almost two years dealing with plantar's fasciitis and a nasty HMO (just have to add real quick that it was my little whirl with that healthcare plan that causes me to quake in my boots when I think about the...

    Miss Lee

    Michele, Did I just see a reference to you running? If I understood correctly, then I must say that I am quite impressed!!!! Are you having a secret love affair with cardio?

    training for marathon--weight training?

    If you are doing weights now then I would stick with it but not lift heavy for lower body. Second to last marathon I ran (in which I qualified for Boston) I used the Gym Style workouts and worked the lower body twice a week. I did not go over 25 lbs for the squats, and kept the other exercises...

    What is Meant By "It Didn't Used to Be This Way..."

    What I don't get is why anybody would start a thread on the subject of politics or religion. They *always* end up being heated and a bit out of control. I often wonder if the reason is just to get things riled up. I mean, if you've been around here long enough, you pretty much know where those...

    When did opinions start to equal...

    I know exactly what you are talking about. I've see those threads and agree that they can get down right nasty. Delivering ad hominem attacks do nothing to bolster an argument, but that doesn't stop a handful of folks from using them. When I see a reply by the few people who tend to do this I...

    Sunday Morning Fun: Movies You Blush to Love!

    Definately Wayne's World. I practically know every line by heart and I found it just as amusing the 20th time I watched it as I did the 1st. Next on my list is Napolean Dynamite. To me that movie is genius

    Attitude is everything

    Here's my favorite: For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these...

    We're the Problem!?!?!

    I heard the episode. He was joking, as he quite often does. It's called *hyperbole*.

    Remedies/products for super dry hair?

    I have too have dry hair, which is curly. My scalp tends to get flaky as well. The best thing that I have found to control the dryness of my hair and scalp is to not wash with shampoo, but rather with conditioner. I scrub my scalp with it and work some through my hair. I like Giovanni's...

    Humidity . . . What humidity?

    I say focus on the good runs you've had and keep in mind that some just don't feel good! It's the same with running as it is with any type of exercise. Some days you feel like you could go on forever and other days you can't wait until you're done. If you've made it this far you'll make it to...

    Questions to ask before entering into a serious relationship

    Just a little off topic, but this thread reminded me of something I had not thought of for years. A guy asked me out on a date and I accepted. I didn't know much about him other than he was divorced, had a couple of kids and that he seemed nice enough. We were planning on meeting somewhere...

    Favorite Songs/Artists Now

    I like almost anything that isn't country. (although I love those country classics) Right now I am obsessed with Breakin' Dishes by Rihanna.

    Just to stir up a hornet's nest, what does everyone think about this?

    The answer to this question eludes me. On a personal note, my brother died from cancer. He was in tremendous pain for the last month or so of his life. He had enough prescription pain medicine on hand that he could have overdosed at any time. He did not choose that option, however. My...

    American Idol "congratulations to Kris"

    Kris became my pick weeks ago so I am happy that he won. Based on his reaction, I don't think he expected to win. I was suprised too, but I suppose that Danny's votes went mostly to Kris since they have similar styles. I'm looking forward to hearing his first CD! Adam's too!

    Farrah's Story

    My brother had cancer and died a year and 1/2 after he was diagnosed. After watching him slowly fade away I have no interest in voluntarily watching someone go through the horrors associated with that disease. As far as Farrah herself goes, I don't remember her so much for her role as one...
