    Profits Before Patients - A PBS Interview w/Bill Moyers

    Thank you Laura. I really was ready to drop this whole thing because I was getting left, left, left shoved down my throat, when I want to hear unbiased views. That just makes me want to drop this whole thing with this board, not discuss it with intelligence. I watch all kinds of channels...

    What is walking?

    I talk walk breaks at work for my sanity so I think it is a mind exercise!

    Profits Before Patients - A PBS Interview w/Bill Moyers

    unfortunately I have no trust that the government knows how to save and redirect funds. I have not seen that in my lifetime. However, I do think there needs to be something done about insurance companies. I have had some really bad experiences with denial of claims when my DD was small and...

    Profits Before Patients - A PBS Interview w/Bill Moyers

    Besides having the bill and KNOWING what is actually in it, not spun from either side, I do want to know this.... What do people in opposition to this, some for what I think is good reason, want to see happen with health care? What will fix the problems that we have currently have of people...

    Profits Before Patients - A PBS Interview w/Bill Moyers

    Exactly Liann, which is why I am sitting back and reading opinions on both sides, and trying to find out the facts. There IS a problem with health care and people not being covered, but how to fix it??? Also, don't full yourself in thinking that this billions of dollars will not fall on tax...

    Time Magazine: Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin

    I suppose if I exercised only to be thin, I would be worried. But since I exercise to feel good, to be strong, especially as I age, to keep cardiovascular disease at bay, and along with other health problems. I exercise so I don't stiffen with age, and so people can say to my daughter, wow, I...

    Profits Before Patients - A PBS Interview w/Bill Moyers

    Agreed that some will, but not most. It is how you get good employees, with benefits. As far as the middle class not getting taxes raised. It will happen, you will see it happen. The spending simply cannot go on at this rate without it. What is wrong with devising a plan that allows small...

    Profits Before Patients - A PBS Interview w/Bill Moyers

    Statement: we get to keep our health insurance we like, even with the government plan. My thoughts: A good portion of us are on health plans our employers give us. Now sometimes these plans are not good, but in the case of medium size companies, and smaller ones the plans are usually the...

    Obesity costs $147 BILLION in 2008

    I think it is very difficult to change people who don't want to change. I have been extremely busy, so DH went to the store last night for groceries. After spending a considerable amount of money.....there is nothing he bought I am willing to eat. So off to the store I must go, sigh.

    So You Think You Can Dance

    ME! I like Evan. He goes to school nearby, but it is more because I love musical theatre, and he is very good at that. There is videos on the internet that are quite amazing. I wonder if he does better with his brother doing the choreographing, because Tyce's stuff is not good. I cannot...

    You cannot rake the clippings.....no where to put them, not allowed to throw them anywhere! I agree though, we are far more sedentary than we used to be. I used to walk to school, walk home for lunch, and my parents never gave me rides. It was about a mile to my school. I had a paper route...

    Swimmer bares all

    Thanks for the clarification. My kids are involved in USA swimming and we even have a local boy over there right now. I was trying to figure out how a swimmer would get DQ'd for this. These suits are so tight the swimmers get bruised trying to get them on. It is no wonder one of them split.

    Take into account that the suit is a 500.00 suit(although he got it free for being on the team), not good advertising for the suit, but good advertising for his behind!

    Obesity costs $147 BILLION in 2008

    Talking about children, we still have major problems with school lunches. They are really high in fat, and poor choices. My daughter gets really frustrated and will pack her lunch to avoid them(which shows how frustrated she is since she is always late in the morning, to pack a lunch takes time!).

    Nope they would tell the families to leave the pool to have their picnic and then come back in. I don't go to this pool because I have other issues with it, such as taking away any useful swimming water, and putting in a lazy river to float on, and a zero depth pool to sit and watch your...

    The local water park put a new rule in place this summer. No outside food and drinks, you have to buy from the concession stand. This has made people very angry. Not only is it overpriced, it is nutrionaly vacant. An article in the paper was even written because folks are so angry. The pool...

    But Sparrow, a box of mac and cheese is far cheaper than the fresh produce offered(not as good tasting I might add, but that is me), plus it is quick. I think people look for quick inexpensive meals, and this is the type of thing they grab. That is why fast food is so attractive, quick, and...
