    another miscarriage

    Rachel, I just sent you a personal email - I'm so sorry this has happened to you too! It is very disappointing - I know, I'm going through it too. My friends keep saying its nature's way of taking care of things. I guess our pregnancies just weren't meant to be, for whatever reason. My...

    I've never ordered through them but I've read horror stories about thier customer service. do a search on the threads here and you'll find lots of examples of lousy customer service. I'm not saying you won't get your order, but it will take its own sweet time and getting through to them is...

    "Normal" things that gross you out

    Muscle reduction?

    deadlifts are definitely part of my routine - in the gym. I'm up to 110 lbs for deadlifts and that has made a difference, but not a big one. i do have to be careful though, because I am now pregnant and have to lower the weights - yesterday at the gym I only went up to 85 lbs. I think...

    April 22nd is the big day

    I lowered teh weights yesterday - but it was still a good workout! I guess I'll lower even more next time. He did say not to over-exert myself! walking lunges though are killer - how do you not get HR up there with those evil things????

    Muscle reduction?

    NO I don't. Maybe I will though....but to be honest, I've got so many tapes and have seen so little results in that area, I'm reluctant to spending more $$ hoping for different results. I began working out in a gym a while back and I've seen some improvements - not huge - but little ones. I...

    Kids birthday parties

    yeah it does sound out of hand. I think its because no parent wants to be accused of excluding someone! I know the feeling - but really, who has the $$$ to throw a party for a whole class? And why would my son want to invite the kids he doesn't play with? just my opinon! and, barbies in a...

    Kids birthday parties

    Ok - I hope I don't offend anyone here by saying this - but I really believe birthday parties have gotten out of hand, at least, where I live (Ontario, Canada) Parents no longer hold b-day parties for thier kids at home - they rent special kids' halls, complete with massive jungle gyms...

    thanks for your help. I'll carefully check the label at home for warnings. but I'm thinking - maybe just to be safe rather than sorry later.
