    Butts and Guts...feedback please

    Running irritations--literally :)

    What you need is something called Body Glide. It comes in a deodorant type container. I ran a marathon using that stuff and didn't chafe one bit. You can buy it at Road Runner Sports online. The type of clothes you buy for running do not matter. I have some high end Patagonia that still...

    What do you do to get re-motivated?

    You are not alone. I live in northern MI where it is wicked cold and snowy in the winter. It brings me down every year. I am a runner and will be signing up for the Chicago Marathon on Monday. That gives me a HUGE boost of motivation. I do have a treadmill since I can't get outside due to...

    Leaving

    Yes, I did think about not posting anymore after I had so many comments about saying plastic surgery was shallow. I live in a northern community of many poor toothless people, so I didn't think it was common for people to be for it. I am a softie for sure, but I also have a strong will, so...

    dysfunctional family ???

    Yes, I have. My sister is over the top with drug abuse, writing bad checks, etc. She is currently in the county jail for one year, and I have yet to visit. I can't bring myself to do it. I know I should, but I can't stand her lies, etc. I have despised her since childhood. She has stolen...

    How about some happy dog stories? (Long)

    I love this thread... We have three dogs. One original breed Irish Setter and two Llewellen (sp?) Setters. Our Irish Setter is 9 and likes to be warm. I sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door. Ellie will sometimes wake me up in the middle of the night wacking me with her...

    When someone owes you money ?

    This sounds really silly to me. Why don't you just call him and tell him to please send a check/whatever for whatever he owes you? Who really cares if he thinks you might need the money? You are obviously concerned about it. It sounds like he hasn't done anything for your daughter. You seem...

    Teachers do you feel offended , . . .

    I have been teaching for a long time and I have never been offended by this. I live in Michigan in a high poverty area. Some of the kids don't even come to school with clean clothes on, they tell me stories about how they couldn't sleep last night because it was so cold in their house since...

    HELP NEEDED FROM RICE COOKING EXPERTS!

    I use the stove top method from the package directions. I don't open the lid until after about 20 min. of cooking. It turns out perfect every time. My friend has a rice cooker and she said it is more of a pain than what it is worth. I have also used the microwave directions and that worked...

    Starting a new chapter..... HELP

    Ellie, My very good friend is a nurse, and also loves her job. She does not have any desire to work in a hospital ER because of those long hours. She works in an OBGYN clinic. Maybe a clinic setting is something you could do part time, while the kids are at school. Just an idea. I...

    For those of you 'hanging up your running sneakers'....

    I am sorry you are dealing with this. :( When I had symptoms I iced and rolled my foot on a tennis ball. I also did a lot of yoga. Rodney Yee's Power Yoga really helped because it has a lot of downward dog poses and stretched my feet. I have inserts in my running shoes to help too. What...
