I don't have time to read all the posts, but you need to report your landlord/property manager to the authorities. Also, don't let that thing die in your wall!!!! Whatever you do, get it out!!!! Once it dies, you will have a stench of monstrous proportions as it decays...and it will be...

Let me know what I can do to help. I can send you a donation! As my moniker shows, an injustice to a cat is an injustice to me! Grrr! I wish I was your next door neighbor, as I would help you take care of these little angels God gave us.

I've been anti-artificial sweetener for years. I did some research into how it got approved by the FDA and was not happy with what I found. Too much to go into here, though. But my reserach made it clear that aspartame, in particular, should NEVER have been approved for human consumption. It...

My brother-in-law stopped drinking diet sodas and lost 20 pounds. He didn't change anything else...just stopped drinkig diet sodas and diet teas. Now, tell me again how diet foods are supposed to be better for you. They say that artificial sweeteners contribute to weight gain and screw...

Another vote for stevia, which is a natural plant derivative. Just don't use too much or it will taste bitter. It only takes a tiny little bit. I also use agave nectar and honey on certain things. I'd never touch artificial sweeteners. Little globs of poison, they are.

Some songs that "inspire" me (I'm not sure about empowering) are: "Ya Moh Be There" by James Ingram and Michael McDonald "I'm Free" by Kenny Loggins (Footloose soundtrack) "Innervision" by System of a Down "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong "As The Rush Comes" by Motorcycle (A...

RE: Our homeless guy rides a 10-speed to the liquor sto... Right now in Indiana, we've got people who LOST their homes in the recent floods and storms and tornadoes. And hundreds of families who lost everything BUT their house, and even their house is so damaged they can't live in it until...

I just got another one...a recording..."Hi! I'm Lisa..." Ugh! After heaving a heavy sigh, *click* goes my receiver. You know, in Indiana, we have the no-call list. My home number is on that list, so thankfully we don't get many unwanted calls at home. If only I could get my work number...

Bruce Almighty LOL funny!!!!

Yes, this was a disturbing movie, but the story was so well portrayed. You just wanted to hate Kevin Bacon for the role he played. I hope people weren't too harsh on him (Kevin). You know how some people can't distinguish the actor from the role. It's a testament to his abilities as an actor...

...SALES CALLS!!!! I just had 3 sales/telemarketing calls right in a row, back-to-back-to-back! I had two lines ringing in at the same time and they were BOTH telemarketers, and I'd just hung up on a recorded call -- "Please hold for an important message..." *click* goes my handset...

Sleepers. This movie came out in 1996, but I never saw it. Just did Saturday night on Starz. Starred Brad Pitt, Jason Patric, Robert DeNiro, Kevin Bacon, and a host of outstanding supporting actors. The story was about four boys who grew up best friends (inseparable) in Hell's...

I know eating doo-doo is gross, but I hear that it's normal for a dog to do that. Not that I condone the practice or like it, mind you! And I wish I could make ours stop!

Distilled vinegar. Mix a Tablespoon into 1 cup of warm water. Work that into the hair. That works great to strip buildup off the hair. You may have to apply it 2-3 times before it works, but it's not as harsh as dish soap. I'd try the vinegar before going to the harsher treatments.

I'm not sure where you live, but if you don't live in Indiana, be glad that you don't. We've had two weeks of the nastiest storms in over 100 years. Tornadoes destroyed and damaged hundreds of homes two weekends ago. We had no power for 38 1/2 hours at my house (Friday night to Sunday...

I recently found out I'm allergic to wheat and gluten, and it's been the best thing to happen to my fitness program! I've struggled to lose weight for YEARS!! A couple of decades almost! Well, several months ago, someone mentioned gluten-intolerance and I did a little research. I found a...

I had steel cut oats for the first time this morning - yummy! I added a bunch of chopped up raw almonds, which added some nice texture. I also added a small dab of butter (I know, not the best, but I was experimenting, and it wasn't that much), and some natural maple syrup. I almost tried the...

Meli: Your comments coincide with an angle I'm taking in the introduction of my article, regarding men attempting to pick up women at the gym. In a survey published in the March issue of Men's Fitness, 37% of respondents said they tell a woman she's beautiful (okay, can you say awkward and...

All your comments are great! Some actually have given me ideas for slants to my article. Many made me smile and laugh...I could really identify with some of your experiences with first-hand accounts of my own. Someone mentioned that their trainer didn't even suggest free weights. I read a...

I did a reply that landed earlier in this thread, so I'm going to insert it here, as well, so that more of you are likely to see it. Some of you mentioned that the gym free weights intimidate you, and I'd like to know if it was the men in that section who intimidated you or the area itself...
