    Any othe "AMAZONS" out there?

    RE: Any othe I think you're right...I'm sure they don't mean to be rude, and many do seem to wish they were taller. The whole thing just kinda' cracks me up :7 The wicked little part in me laughs her fanny off when the outer me just looks blankly at people until they squirm. Of course, this...

    Any othe "AMAZONS" out there?

    RE: Any othe Another interesting thing: How many of you other Amazons have felt okay to comment to a stranger about their physical self? I don't recall ever blurting the first thing that comes to mind when I see an itty bitty little person, an overweight person, someone with 2 inches of...

    Any othe "AMAZONS" out there?

    RE: Any othe Isn't it refreshing how original people are? I too, have heard the Jolly Green Giant reference, the Amazon reference and of course, the assumption that I MUST be a basketball player...Snore. I'm 6' tall, and have been since 6th grade. I'd like to hear something fresh & new to...

    Finding healthy foods in the grocery store

    And yet "diet" friendly foods such as diet soda, fat/free cookies, pretzels and the like are very easily found. Of course the standard American doesn't really realize how nutritionally bankrupt these foods are IMHO. It's frustrating to be bombarded with such an abundance of poor options as...

    Why???

    Janice, I'm new here & don't know you yet, but I would like to offer my support in prayer & positive energy. I know what it's like to be overwhelmed with the problems of someone you love who's unable/unwilling to make their own good decisions. It's a rotten thing when you feel helpless. So...

    Black bean salsa recipe

    Kathryn, That's why I love this recipe...it's really easy to make it your own. My MIL uses lemon juice instead of lime and chunks her veggies up a bit larger than I do. It tastes quite a bit different, but is still really good. Avacado is also good added to this, but it doesn't keep well...

    Black bean salsa recipe

    Added note to the recipe... I tend to use more of the peppers - the added crunch is nice. Also, finely diced tomatoes are good in this when in season. They're too mushy out of season. Ginny

    Black bean salsa recipe

    If anyone is interested...my black bean salsa is a huge hit & I make it almost weekly. It's good on chips (baked or regular), pita bread wedges, as a potato topper, on meat, or rolled in a whole wheat tortilla with a bit of low fat cheese. I'll also toss some with chopped up shrimp on romaine...

    OT: my dog bites (long)

    Yes, yes, yes! Cesear Millan is absolutely AMAZING! I would definitely check him out. Until further help is available, muzzling would probably be wise, though. Good luck to you...such a hard situation to be in! Ginny

    Following in the post regarding chocolate, does anyone

    RE: Following in the post regarding chocolate, does any... Looove Good'n Plenty. Luckily, they're often stale at the point of purchase, so temptation is fairly easily overcome, but oooohh, when they're fresh watch out:9 Ginny

    OT: What kind of work do you do?

    I work in dental office administration...I used to be a dental assistant, but find this aspect of the field much more challenging! People + fear/apprehension + money...I never know what a day has in store for me :-) I really enjoy it. I'm 37, but still haven't decided what I want to be when...

    I keep reverting back to my bad eating ways...HELP!

    I do this too...I know how to eat clean & truly enjoy it more and feel better. I'll eat well for quite some time, then it's as if I have a bad behavior explosion x( }( Then it takes a while to psych myself into behaving again. I'm not sure why I do it either...I think it's just years of bad...

    Egg Whites vs. Egg Beaters

    I like both, but tend to use the whites for cost purposes. My DH has trouble understanding why I would "waste" half the egg. I look at it this way: Waste money buying EggBeaters when whites are cheaper; waste calories/fat eating something out of guilt if it's not what I want; waste trees to...

    Way out of my league

    Well, wish I could say I was petite, but I'm not. I'm six feet tall & have about 40 pounds to lose...However...I truly find pleasure in the journey I'm on. To be entirely honest, I fail at something just about every day (I usually lose it in the food department). But the key is to remember...
