Interesting topic. I work in a a male dominated industry (HVAC)and consider myself relatively attractive and very friendly. I have been married almost 15 years and am 32 years old. I engage many men in conversation and have had some make lame, joking comments but that is where it ends...

Cookies on the Pampered Chef stones come out perfect every time! I highly recommend them and I was a hesitant convert at first but they truly work phenominal!

Just a question, but why is bigger perceived as somehow worse? Someone previously mentioned that the abundance of healthy, nutritious foods has resulted in increased growth & development. Is is somehow inferior to be taller, have larger breasts, or mature earlier? Just curious on your...

The kids continue to hit puberty at earlier and earlier ages as well. Many girls as young as 9 or 10 are getting their periods. Not sure why though. I must say though that your husband seems like a rather tiny guy. Five four and 110 pounds is pretty lightweight for a grown man and may not...

I think it is very possible. Five years ago, I weighed 230 pounds and although I knew I had weight to lose, I did not think of myself as obese. Then low and behold my employer wants me to take a picture for advertising purposes for the local paper. I had photos taken and once they were...

Interesting thread. I eat healthy a lot of the time but occasionally allow myself treat meals or what have you. I will never completely give up any food group etc. because when one omits something completely from their diet that they enjoy, they obsess about it, obsess when others are...

I would never eat anything that I saw a worm in. I know that many cheeses have mold, that meat has parasites, etc. But to actually see a live worm would gross me out! On a side note, I had worms as a young child, having consumed some wild berries with larve that I did not notice at the...

I personally did not care for Donna Read's "To the Max". It seemed choppy to me and not altogether cued that well. I would recommend any Christi Taylor, Season Yeager, Franny B., Rob Glick, or Phillip Gray CIA video. They are talented instructors with very fun choreography although most are a...

The worst part is when they become really insecure and start smothering you to death, lol. Self confidence and assurance are a turn-on while insecurity and dependence are not. Hopefully he will get a job soon and these transient issues will go away. Relationships go through many phases...

On a slightly different perspective, many people become excitable at the thought of having a large cavity drilled or a large filling put in. Dentists often try to be careful with the terminology they use or the words because people become easily agitated. My dentist is conservative and likes...

Your post is very timely in that I experience the same thing every holiday. My husband and I moved up to Cleveland about 3 years ago to work for my parent's family business. We have made few friends because no one wants to be the kiss-a** friends of the boss. My parents live 10 minutes away...

I love Krema brand natural peanut, cashew, and almond butters. They are based out of Columbus Ohio and have a website which I believe is www.krema.com. Very, very good!

I know that I need a rest day from running when my legs feel like lead weights. Running is interesting in that it really depletes the energy/glycogen stores like nothing else. On the weekends I normally do 1 hour cardio video, 1 hour strength. and a 3-4 mile run. I can only do it for the...

If your skin care regime has alpha-hydroxy fluid in it then it can take longer to see benefits. The alpha's encourage skin turnover but it can takes weeks for the result of clogged pores to hit the skin's surface. You have acne outbreak for a few days but then after the pores are unclogged and...

I have 2 Suzi Ormond books which I like. She has valuable advice but her demeaning personality gets on my nerves. I had a securites license in a prior job-life and find her general principles on finance to be valuable and beneficial.

Hips are my problem area and nothing slims them like running. I like to run 6.2 miles 4-5 times per week and my hips are much slimmer regardless of diet! Long, steady state cardio works!

I just today had a fruit flavored water at the hospital flavored with Splenda and it did have an aftertaste. I have always drank diet soda with a multitude of sweeteners but have noticed such a strong aftertaste! I could not even finish the water. It tasted like watered down lemonade with an...

I have absolutely no scientific backing for what I am about to say but I think that individual people benefit differently from different forms of exercise. I personally lose more weight, my clothes fit better, and I lean out the most after incorporating long (1 hour or more), steady state...

RE: I took a look in the mirror and *GASP* -- cellulite... I have more cellulite on my right thigh than on my left, lol. Long live the lopsided ladies! I went on a cruise last year to St johns and I saw a woman who literally had cellulite on the front, side & back of her thighs! It was...

I am the turtle of the group, lol. I only run 15 miles a week (typically 5 miles / 3 days) I am thinking of increasing to 20 or 25 miles per week though. The fitness results I have achieved from running are phenominal. I have lost close to 10 pounds, have lost significant fat in my legs, hips...
