i like different names to an extent, but when you don't know how to pronounce it based on the spelling, that is going too far. my name is gayla, and i did NOT appreciate it as a child, however, as an adult, i love that my name is not common. i am so used to spelling my first and last name that...

thanks for the advice, honeybunch and rhonda. i know what you are saying is true. i do have this need to help other people, but it is true that if they dont want help, i am just spinning my wheels. it is so hard when you know how to help, but the help isn't being asked for. i will just let...

i would love to get some advice/opinions on how to handle something that weighs on my mind. i have developed such an incredible passion for fitness and nutrition (although i have not conquered all of my demons), and would like to share this. i have an SIL who is at least 40 lbs overweight...

i am with candi, it is easier to name the shows i do watch which are mostly reruns of friends, seinfeld, and will and grace. i used to watch american chopper, but that got old. i watch dog the bounty hunter, believe it or not....biggest loser and a lot of hgtv and food network. i haven't...

i thought maybe as i am have hit middle age that i am just getting more cranky, but i see that i am not alone, and totally agree with all above!! unfortunately, children are no longer taught manners so we all must suffer for that, and as they grow into adults, they get worse. i get very sick...

you cannot keep running yourself into the ground like that. he may be sweet by giving you flowers and writing notes, but that does not get the house cleaned, the meals cooked or the laundry done. you are not his slave, but that is how he is treating you. just reading your post makes me feel...

once i got my pug housebroken, after a 7 week basic training session, he was great until we moved to california....then it was back to peeing in the house again. i have had a problem ever since with that until the house we live in now. he seems to have stopped the peeing. but i will say that...

I have a pug of 13 years that was difficult to housebreak. i had to take him to obedience school and that is what finally did the trick. they are very stubborn dogs, but they can learn. you have to take the appropriate time to train the dog, and you have to be consistent about it. it sounds...

hi stephanie and welcome, you came to the right support group for your addiction. there are many cathe-aholics here who will help strengthen your urges...before you know it, they will be committing you too.... :)

very cute....

i don't idolize billy joel, don't really even like his music, but i do love the line "i would rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints". honestly, i don't see much to idolize in hollywood in general. there is really too much celebrity worship going on these days when there are so...

i think each relationship is different, and not everyone experiences things the same way. sometimes those relationships that start off with that crazy love kinda thing fizzle out quickly anyway. if it feels right to you and makes you happy then go with it. don't try to compare your...

i don't post very much due to time constraints, but enjoy reading all of the posts and absorbing all of the information that is offered here. i just want to say that every time i get on this forum, especially when i am feeling pretty good about myself, i am so humbled by the incredibly strong...

WOW!!! that was an incredible accounting of your marathon. i had tears in my eyes thinking of how proud you must be of yourself. a marathon is such an accomplishment! you are inspiring with your hard work, and with your ability to put it into words so perfectly. i just started running...

what is a kimono sleeve? it doesn't sound like workout friendly clothing to me...

omg, colleenm, those pictures bring back memories of my 2 dobies playing. i had a pug originally, and brought in the first mail dobe. that was quite a sight as the dobe wanted to play and my pug was older and wanted no part of it. so, i got the male dobe a sister dobe, and they were...

unfortunately for me, i am doing tech support now, and i hear this sort of thing every day. my users are employees in all of our plants, and i swear some of them don't even know the difference between the monitor and the computer....scary that these people have jobs that require them to use a...

just to chime in, i think the simple black top looks very good with the skirt. it accentuates your lean body also.

ok, it is no longer sunday, nor breakfast time, and now i feel that i may have to make a trip to the bagel shop to get a bagel. i try to eat something that looks like it might be healthy like whole wheat with seeds on it, but i like em sweet. i am from the south where a piece of cake can be a...

good luck gayle on your half!! it is so funny that you mentioned thinking of imax intervals on the uphills because i just started running again, and i do that same thing. i say to myself "this is nothing compared to interval 9's blast from imax 2" and i am able to make it up no sweat...
