Hey there! Sorry I didn't see this sooner - I've been crazy busy and not keeping up with the boards. I'm working full time, now, plus taking a class and trying to get settled in our new neighborhood. Our house needs a lot of work, so the projects are never-ending! Yes, we're expecting...

Funny, I was about to grab the same quote: "If an employee's tips combined with the employer's direct wages of at least $2.13 an hour do not equal the minimum hourly wage, the employer must make up the difference." So, then, it is NOT my responsibility to pay a person's wage by tipping...

RE: Real Life Stories From Those Who Exercised Througho... Hello! I'm on baby #4, and I've worked out through all of them. I 'discovered' Cathe just after #1 and have to say that her workouts really got me in better shape before and during #2 than my own gym workouts had for #1. I don't...

Just outside of Harrisburg, here. Another thought for a GTG - how about Hershey, home of Chocolate World :D (Or would that be against the 'Fitness Vibe'? They do have some extra dark chocolate, so maybe it could count as a health food store?) The park is open in the summer and they're...

I'll definitely be praying for all of you... When my Aunt was in the hospital, she experienced disorientation and what appeared to be dementia symptoms. It turned out to be the combination of drugs they put her on. In particular, one of the antibiotics was REALLY strong and caused all kinds...

I switched to Shaklee just a little while ago. My mom used to use it when I was growing up, but I kind of got away from it when I moved out. I love the Basic H - I use it as a fruit and veggie wash, too, so it's really a great multipurpose product. I don't care for it on glass and mirrors...

I made my own - it's pretty easy and you can use veggies are in season. Especially at the beginning, it's nice to be able to make up small portions so there's less waste. You'd be amazed at how many baby servings of sweet potatoes you can get out of one potato! I got a great book that had lots...

I just joined a gym after a few years away. I love working out at home, but it was getting dangerous, since my workout area is in the family room and the kids want to workout with me. DH and I were afraid someone was going to drop a weight on themselves or have an accident with the...

And I wanted to chime in with a word of support - I'm really sorry that you're feeling the need to leave...and sorry if my post contributed to this. It sounds like you're under a lot of pressure and needed more support than you felt you were getting. If I could send you a warm cup of tea and a...

RE: Advice from the "dunce" ?!?! This seems a little harsh and uncalled for. I know you didn't expect as much 'honesty' as you seem to have received, but, wow, this just jumped out at me!

AAAAAGHHHHHH!! MY EYES!!!!!!!!! (That picture was perfectly horrible!!)

Thanks for the update - I was thinking about you these past weeks and wondering how you were doing... I hope that you continue to heal and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Not sure if it's the one you saw, but it sounds a lot like Heifer International. http://www.heifer.org/ We 'found' this a few years ago and LOVE it for those hard to buy gifts for certain relatives. We got my Mom some geese, Great Grandmother a bunch of sheep, water buffalo for the...

I totally second the idea of getting her throat checked out. My sister has always had problems taking medication and only recently found out that it's a physiological problem and NOT just in her head... In the meantime, maybe this will help: I use Tylenol Meltaways for my oldest (5 yrs)...

I've had this problem most of my life and it's not my thyroid (not that you still shouldn't get yours checked! I'm just saying that it's 'normal' for me) I've always had low BP and I HATE the cold. My hands and feet are almost always cold. I have to be careful about standing up too fast...

Yes I do them - remember, your pelvic floor is your friend! :) They're good for your sex life, to prevent prolapse and help prevent incontinence issues. Especially as you get older and your hormonal levels change, it's important to do everything you can to keep everything 'strong' if you know...

I was addressing the woman, because the question was about the friendship between her and the OP. I would never hold the man 'less' accountable - for the record, I wouldn't be HIS friend either. :) I have a problem with liars and people lacking in integrity of either sex. Friendship is a...

I'd have to say that I wouldn't be able to be the same kind of friend to her if it was me. Integrity and honesty are pretty big items for me, and she seems lacking in both. I need to trust my friends and she doesn't seem to be giving off the 'trust' vibe. She's lied to you and is doing...

Funny you should ask! We just moved into a house a few months ago, and it has a pool - we weren't looking for one, but liked the house, so here we are! We've survived our first summer - at least the last few months of it, anyway. The pool is older (20+ yrs), but most of the replacement work...

Hi! I haven't had these regularly, but I did have a bunch of problems a few years back that required a series of scans... Since there are so many of you who have experience with this diet and its requirements, maybe you can help me settle something: Does beer count as a clear liquid? Why...
