    OT: breakthrough bleeding w/ Seasonique

    Very helpful! What is the purpose of the extra estrogen in the 7 pills? Thought I'd add: I have taken Seasonale and had terrible breakthrough bleeding during the first cycle, but after that none at all... unless, of course, I forget to take a pill, but that is pretty rare.

    So mad at Target!

    Something similar happend to me at Costco. We had purchased a CD, and somehow it had not made it into the cart. We were fortunate to notice it before we left the store, while we were loading the car. When I went back in to the store, they had already re-shelved it, not even 10 minutes later...

    OT: Enrichment course ideas needed

    OK, I am also a middle school teacher. I ran some of your ideas by my first-period class during the few extra minutes we have for our breakfast program. They LOVED the money class idea (they wanted especially to learn about stocks and the basics of starting a business), weren't too excited about...

    Question for swimmers

    Hi Kristan, I love to swim, have been on swim teams all through school and even for a while on a master's team. When I swim on my own, it can be difficult to challenge myself they way a team practice does. What has helped me is a book called "Workouts in a Binder". There are a few different...

    Anyone else concerned w/wacky winter weather?

    Oh, I love An Inconvenient Truth. I have watched it four times now and learned something new every time. I think it is fascinating how scientists have used isotopes of oxygen trapped in ice cores to analyze temperatures/ CO2 concentrations back through 7 ice ages. I am jealous of Liane's bike...

    What's your favorite family vacation

    Hmmm... my favorites are all northwest destinations. Homer, AK is one of the most beautiful places on earth, lots of kayaking, wildlife tours, hiking, fishing, and good eats up there. I believe you can also get a helicopter tour of the glacier across the bay from the spit... The San Juan...

    Is he very outdoorsy? There is a group called The Mountaineers up that area. I think they do lots of group hikes, climbs, etc. Might be a good chance to meet someone.

    Another shoe question

    Is it a bad idea to do Cathe videos in running shoes? These are what I usually use, because I have them. In the past, I haven't worried too much about what shoes I use because I do the step videos so infrequently... they are usually a back-up option, a substitute for biking or running during bad...

    - Need your thoughts on situation

    Hello, My husband worked for a brief stint at a car dealership. I read him your post and he immediately said, "Well, everything a car dealership does is suspect because they're a bunch of lying bastards..." LOL! Does that make you feel any better? But then went on to tell me that in cases...

    Horrible, Extreme, Debilitating PMS??????

    Sounds like you are not interested in bcp's? Just a thought: I really like Seasonale, which you take continuously for three months. You only have a perid 4 times per year. It is wonderful!

    aluminum free antiperspirants???

    If aluminium-free is what you're looking for, I would recommend the "Jason" line of natural personal-care products. The Aloe Vera one they make is especially nice (IMO).

    Salad dressing for E2L

    On page 214 of the book, Dr. Fuhrman has a list of "Commercial Dressings with Less than 20 Calories per 2 Tablespoon serving". I haven't tried any on the list (there are 17 total) so I can't say for sure, but there are some that sound (from the name) like they might be what you are looking for...

    Does anyone else hate pictures of themselves?

    My sister is like this. When I got married, I put my fiance/now husband in charge of invitations, and he decided to make a CD invitation. He asked for pictures of everyone in the wedding party and the request actually made her cry! She is very pretty, and I'd had no idea she was really that...
