    price increase of milk

    Ethanol may be cheaper to produce, but the semi trucks that transport it do not run on ethanol, they run on gasoline. So when the cost of transporting a good to the market place increases, that cost is passed onto the consumer. They getcha anyway they can! Mo

    What are your weekend workouts and plans?

    Cardio Saturday morning . . . going into work for a few hours and then it's Milwaukee Brewers baseball at 2:15 . . . and we're going to the game again on Sunday, so it may be biceps curls, 16 oz at a time! The weather's supposed to be beautiful here. It's going to be a media frenzy with Barry...

    We adopted a greyhound!

    What a cute dog! I love his coloring. Looks like he's full of personality. I think it's wonderful you took on a greyhound . . . my DH and I have talked about adopting one but just haven't made the move yet. We have a pretty large fenced in yard now, so I think that would be ideal. He's...

    Faithnveggies/Jody: Question for you

    Jody, Hope this isn't a silly question, but your "before" photo . . . were you consciously posing for a "before" photo knowing you were headed for an "after"? Or, did you decide to use that for your "before" photo after the fact? Mo

    tattoo ???

    I love your tattoo ideas - and you should definitely bring the figure with you - or at the very least, take a photo of it. I have three tattoos myself. I have a shamrock on my ankle, a celtic knot design on my arm and a claddagh on the inside of my wrist . . . yep, I'm Irish alright! I chose...

    To Those that Follow BFFM.....

    I believe what he is advocating is that your first choice is protein in its natural state - chicken, fish, etc. If you find yourself unable to eat in this fashion (due to travel, work, time, etc.), protein powders are acceptable. I would say you are fine to use it as you have described as...

    How do I dare quit?

    I was going to say, even if the smaller company pays less money, your commuting costs and time would go down . . . so that is something to take into consideration. I'm probably preaching to the choir, but it sounds like your family is truly your priority - and we all have the ability to adjust...

    How do I dare quit?

    My thoughts are - get out before you invest too much of yourself in them and before they invest too much in you (although it sounds like they're taking advantage of you as opposed to investing in you). As long as you can afford to do so, why put yourself through the dread of dragging yourself...

    $$$ to clean?

    I have been told to stay away from any commercial cleaners for hardwood floors. They end up leaving a residue that - if you ever want to have them professionally cleaned or redone - will make that process more costly. Vinegar and water . . . and whatever implement you use should be wrung out...

    Catalog Request

    Happy 4th to everyone! When ordering a catalog, I noticed in states that it could take up to 90 days to receive . . . does it really take this long? Mo

    tell me why ezekiel is better than ww bread

    I have found a really good alternative in a sprouted grain bread from Trader Joes . . . not sure if you have any in your area - but the list of ingredients is short and unadulterated - and it is really good. It is soft, tastes great and is 60 calories a slice. Mo

    New and looking for advise

    I have just recently ordered the 2007 catalog . . . I was fortunate to catch Cathe on Fit TV. Needless to say, her physique blew me away. If I had an ideal for myself, that would be it! I am 39, 5'2" and I hover between 115 and 120 lbs. As age 40 looms large, gravity and a desk job are...
