I caved, but I'm glad it's coming after Christmas, because I'm dreaming of Christmas goodies. Hey, the poster with the dessert poll started it! I just finished reading ''Clean Eating''; I feel guilty enough already. I wonder if I should buy Tosca Reno's cookbook - I was going to, but...

Key lime pie, if I must, but shortbread makes me weak in the knees.

If my DH had the nerve to say that to me, I'd tell him not to let the door hit his flabby butt on the way out! That said, I agree with other posters - I suspect exercise is not the issue here.

Crazy day - it's my one day off before working 6 days in a row, then just one day off again - but had to pop in to say Wow, Garance - a star among us! I'll have to be on the lookout for the A&E Plath bio - I'm impressed! Have a wonderful day, Jen

Happy Wednesday, All, Deb, I like the new name, but I like Rhonda's suggestion even better - Pentagenarians and Beyond - we don't want to discriminate against our 60-and-up members! Rhonda, I followed your thread with interest on the other forum - you stated your case quite eloquently. I...

Happy Tuesday, All, Deb, I'm keeping my eye out, but I'm not going to buy 4DS until the price comes down (I know, it may be years). I would pay the price except for the fact that she's higher than everyone else, with no reason as far as I can see. Amy Bento has much lower prices and fantastic...

My daughter thinks I've become a scrooge because DH and I no longer put up outside lights or a Christmas tree. Both my children are married now and have very young kids, so they put up a tree and we go to one of their houses for our family gathering. I thought I would miss decorating our house...

Sorry, Deb, I just call the '50s the baby boomer decade. I don't know if there's an official name for that decade or not. I love the Timesavers, also CTX. Different strokes for different strokes, right? I like the Timesavers better than CTX because I love the music. This evening, I plan to do...

Happy Sunday, All, Just got back from the Christmas concert at my brother's church. It was wonderful. The church was full of poinsettias, tiny white lights, greenery, and a giant Christmas tree. The lights were off and the choir members came in with candles - so beautiful. My SIL was in the...

Okay, listen up kiddies, Grandma's got somethin' to say: I'm 55. Some days I feel 90, some days I feel 15. Some days I feel like a wise elder, some days I wonder what I'll do when I grow up. Yes, your youth will end - no, it won't end at 35 unless you want it to. 99 percent of it is...

Mine are usually 60 minutes, but I will do more if it's not a workday. Many of Cathe's are in the 70-minute area, and that's okay. I have done BM2 in its entirety, but had to take a rest day the next day! Hmm, now that I think of it, that seems to be the case a majority of the time when I go 90...

Happy Saturday, All, Oh, no, Josie, not you too! Poor thing - at least I hope your dog feels better! Deb, you're the only one in reasonably good shape right now - better watch yourself on stairs, etc! Deb, Benadryl does work for me, but only if I don't take it every day. I get immune to it...

I knew just from watching the video clip at Collage that I would be bored out of my mind doing this DVD. Thank goodness for video previews - I don't spend wasted money now ordering DVDs I'm going to hate.

Happy Friday, All, Feeling a little itchy as I decrease the prednisone and Atarax, d*** it! I absolutely can not stay on this prednisone with my blood sugars so high. I've been searching on the internet. Some people say the only thing that works for them is meditation. Oh, boy, am I in...

Hello, fellow injured ones, We HAVE had a run of bad luck lately, haven't we? Garance, what horrible bad luck for you with the knees, and you as well, Linny. Having a hysterectomy at age 28 is something I don't regret for a minute because I was having incredibly heavy bleeding for 2 weeks out...

Happy Wednesday, All, Linny & Deb, I went through menopause 10 years ago, in my early 40s. That's pretty early, but I started having periods at age 10, so not entirely unexpected. So that's out as a cause of this allergic reaction. I think it has something to do with my immune system being so...

Happy Tuesday, All, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Linny, Happy Birthday to you!! (and many more . . . ) I hope you have a wonderful day filled with fun. Today I get to start working out with weights, but only 3-pounders this week. I'm going to do...

Happy Monday, All, And I do mean happy because I had a miserable holiday weekend. I started itching all over Wednesday night. Thursday morning I'd had no sleep so called my GP and endocrinologist. Naturally, they were both closed until today. I tried Benadryl, both the oral tablets and the...

Your doctor sounds like a goober. I would be interested in his response to this question - ``How long has it been since you've done any reading or attended any classes or conferences in your field?'' I suspect the answer will be several decades ago.

RE: 50 and Over:~Waiting for Turkey Day ~ Happy Wednesday, All, It's the last day of 80-degree weather in Houston today, yay! Tonight we get a real, live cold front! Deb, try to have some fun during this crazy day! Garance, I think I would explode if I ate 5,000 calories in one...
