Another benefit to calcium is that it really helps with PMS symptoms. I suffered for 10 days every month until my doctor suggested calcium supplements. Changed my life! Nancy, I'm with you on the ridiculous amounts of ice cream. It's at the top of my personal food pyramid!

Oh, Joanna, your post made me happy. It's amazing how something so small to us can mean so much. I have a great-aunt in a nursing home, and when I go visit her, I always go around to other residents and visit with them. It breaks my heart to see these people whose families never come see...

We all seem to be on the same page here. Total piece of cr*p and a waste of space!

I love Stinky! He's so cute. Has anyone ever told you that you look a bit like Anne Archer (the wife in Fatal Attraction)?

Going on a cruise next week, to Hawaii in July and Nantucket in August (can you tell I like the beach?). The best part is that they will all be free vacations for me!

Yikes! What a control freak. I realized it was time to leave my last job when my boss couldn't find one of her files. She ended up calling her assistant who was in the delivery room giving birth! She ruled by fear - I couldn't believe that her assistant was so scared of her that she actually...

I am going through the same thing this week. So yesterday during my lunch hour, I went to J crew and tried on a bikini. Worked wonders - I went home after work and did Step Blast.

I am very picky about textures, but it has nothing to do with my mother's cooking - she's a fabulous chef. I will try anything a few times. It just so happens that a lot of things taste bad to me. I know what you mean about slimy food - zucchini, mushrooms, and okra all make me gag...

Could it be that his family is just more touchy-feely than yours? My mom's family consists of a bunch of close-talking personal space invaders. My dad's side of the family are all air-kissers and I don't think they've ever even hugged each other. I can tell that dad's relatives are...

My sister had it last year. She is a HUGE baby about pain. She said it wasn't bad except for the packing-removal. Like Colleen's husband, she also thinks it was worth it. She can finally breathe through her nose instead of her mouth. Edited to add: She is such a chicken that she tried...

RE: in honor of my crummy day - what's your favorite Mojitos! And beer, I guess.

I was friends with Brooke's half-sister in college and hung out with her a few times. She is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people I've ever met. And smart! I didn't see her on Oprah, but I was sorry to hear she has PPD.

I've done both - home kit and one through the dentist. They BOTH made my teeth very sensitive, and the one through the dentist was supposed to be for people with sensitive teeth. But it was worth it I guess. Just a word of warning, it only works on actual teeth. If you have bonding or...

I just read something that states that France has one of the fastest growing rates of obesity in Europe. More and more people living busy lifestyles and relying on processed food - the same reasons as in America, I guess.

Also not wanting to get into a racial debate, but I worked for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for many years, and the vast majority of our cases (both children and abductors) involved caucasians. One of the first things profilers learn is that people tend to kidnap or...

Hi Robin, I watched the Discovery Channel special (at least I think it was on Discovery.It was an hour long special featuring kids from Great Britain). As I watched it I was struck at how difficult it must be to have a child with PWS. The kids lied and stole in order to get food. It...

I agree with the bell method Nicole mentioned. My parents just got a puppy and they were so frustrated at how he just wasn't catching on to the potty training - especially since their previous dog learned immediately. My mom's vet told them about the bell method, and he picked it up in two...

Am I the only one here who finds Admin. Prof. Day kind of demeaning? It's such a contrived holiday invented by greeting card companies (right up there with Granparents Day and Boss' Day). I feel like it's saying "hey, we can treat you like crap all year, but here's some flowers and a scented...

I think it depends on where you live. My sister pays $11 per hour (and she only has one kid) and lives in an urban area. Good babysitters are hard to find, and they know it. I don't think $9 is outrageous for three kids (but it seems kind of high for a 13 year old). I babysat 20...

I felt bad for her! That was obviously a case of nerves. I froze once during a piano competition - I could play the song with my eyes closed, but I choked in front of the judges. They are playing the video on all of the news channels - poor thing. She had a nice voice.
