    Turning 40

    Hi, I am now 41 and also had 3 c-sec. Ha ha welcome to the 40's. I have had a really hard time with this as well. It seems everytime I look in the mirror something looks worse!! One morning I woke up with with what I thought was a little "sleep" wrinkle near my eye. Only it never went away...

    Pet owners - which flea medication?

    I usually use Frontline, but last year it only lasted a week before my cat and dog had fleas again! I have since read that you should alternate your products. So, now I switch between Frontline and Advantage. Do all your pets go outside? If not, after you are sure you are rid of all your...

    Ha Ha Ha - just wait until they are teenagers!! How about $4k for braces, 400 for a school ring and 300 for the prom - and that's just the past couple of months! Marnie:(

    Alec Baldwin rant

    Neither my mom nor dad ever called me a pig. I have never called my kids a pig. I think the problem is when one says "you are ..." I have however threatened to "straighten your *ss out" many a time to my kids!;-)

    What is it with Walmart??

    { I think the Jib Jab cartoon Liann mentioned is a satirical look at what I find wrong with Walmart. In fact, as of late I've been questioning a lot about where the products I buy come from and at what costs, not just out of my pocketbook but in terms of human rights, pollution, and the economy...

    What is it with Walmart??

    As a single mom of a teenage boy, Walmart is definitely the place to shop for food!! He eats like a horse!! lol Patti Man, can I relate!! Sometimes I can just stand there in utter amazement while ds inhales everything in the house. My dh and I have come to trying to hide certain items...

    SPINNING BIKE

    I also ordered the revmaster from the same website and think its the best purchase I ever made. I also looked at the V bike but decided on the revmaster. Can't remember exactly why - seems like the revmaster had more available adjustments and a better warranty for a couple hundred more. Marnie:)

    Old age creeping up

    Jane, I was onstage with Don Ho as well! I was only about 9 though and no french kiss! That's some story! Also, Donna, I noticed on your profile that you are from Orchard Park. I currently live in GA, but am from Eden!:-)

    Is anyone else worried about the environment?

    Yes, like you, I have recycled cans, but not much else. Lately I've stepped it up and am surprised how much less my garbage is. I live in a rural area and don't have pick up. I need to get a better system, because currently all the recycling is stacked up in our laundry room.:o I also switched...

    RECALL ON LISTERINE AGENT COOL BLUE

    Ugh! Its really getting frustrating/scary with all the recalls. My kids have been using this for about a month as well. Thanks for the post. I didn't even know about it. I guess checking for recalls should be part of my morning routine now along with checking the email. Marniex(

    Any YMCA members?

    Our small town has a fantastic Y, but we don't have any large gyms and that may be a contributing factor. The large town 45mi away has gyms and a really tiny Y. The best thing about the Y for kids is all the sport activities. Ours has soccer, flag football, swim team, cheerleading and more...

    Are we changing?

    I think a WOMAN's perspective of attractiveness is changing and it is because we are more confident in our own skins and less concerned with approval of the male part of society. Just think back to when you were a kid and it seemed all the commercials were geared toward getting male approval...

    Depression question

    Don't have any suggestions, but just wanted to say I have experienced the "morning blues" for periods lasting months at a time several times in my life. I am glad to hear I am not the only one! I would wake up just feeling like "what's the use" and then around 11 - 1 I would literally feel it...

    Cooking/soaking beans (Vegan Planet CookBook)

    Yes, if the beans are going to cook for a long time, then I would use them after soaking but without precooking. I make pinto beans this way about once every couple of weeks. I don't even soak them - just wash about 2c and throw in the crock with a chopped onion, chili powder and garlic and 5-...

    For You Pirate/Jack Sparrow Lovers...

    Eat To Live

    Hi Janie, Spinervals are workouts used with a spin bike. They are tough! I tried to find some references to toxic hunger. Here are some links on Dr. Fuhrmans website:http://drfuhrman.com/ask/archives/2005_01_03.aspx http://drfuhrman.com/library/article4.aspx Also, he discusses it...

    Another mineral makeup question

    The other thread prompted me to start this one. My dd received the starter bare mineral kit for Christmas. She and I really like it. But, I have some concerns. Since the "nontoxic cleaner" thread awhile back, I have made some major changes around the house in addition to the way I think about...

    I think Bare Minerals is ruining my face!

    I've never tried it, but I have read many times how great the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is as well. Marnie
