Anybody else getting serious about probiotics? In the past year, I've been looking more and more into probiotic supplementation, and the more I learn, the more excited I get to learn more. I recently bought a book called "The Probiotic Revolution" by Gary B. Huffnagle, Ph.D., and as I have...

Did anyone else watch this last night? I was so delighted that Danny and Sabra were in the final two. They were my favorite dancers all year. I think Sabra was the right one to win. She is such a versatile dancer and could perform anything put in front of her. Danny was just AMAZING! I...

I finally had foot surgery this morning to correct a misplaced bone and moderately severe bunion. The next time I do a step workout, I shouldn't have anymore foot pain! Yippee! My foot problems were getting so bad that they were greatly interfering with my ability to exercise, so I'm looking...

I saw a thread on here a while back about someone else who was getting ready to have foot surgery, and I recall seeing a lot of responses from people who said they'd had foot surgery and were so glad they had. Well, it looks like I will now be undergoing foot surgery soon, too. I've had...

I started doing LIC cardio premix a couple of months ago, and I have to say that it's become one of my favorite cardio workouts! It's just about perfect as far as intensity and recovery go. I get my heart rate up, then the next segment helps bring it down before boosting it back up into high...

Okay, so this is a little embarrassing to discuss. I have a swollen gland (actually, the doctor called it a "Bartholin's Gland Cyst") in the female nether region, if you know what I mean. First of all, I think I know how I got it (my hubby and I took advantage of a coupon and bought some of...

The difference between Paris Hilton and Martha Stewart when it comes to serving a jail term: Martha may not be an angel, but at least she has enough class to do the right thing and serve her time. I'm sure she could have easily pulled a similar stunt as Paris did, but she didn't. Paris is...

I was just reading another thread, and it reminded me of an experience I had a few weeks ago when I was shopping for pants. I went to this new outdoor mall called Clay Terrace (it's about a year old and is one of those "uppity" malls, where everything's high class and high dollar - kinda like a...

Well, here's an update to my thyroid issues. You might have read my post last week where I initially voiced my concerns about this. I saw my doctor on Friday, and after an examination, she told me that my thyroid is larger on one side. Now I've got a whole sheet of bloodwork to get done...

I know you are planning your projects for the rest of 07 and early 08 already, but thought I'd recommend something to think about for down the road. Before I state my suggestion, here's what has lead me to this idea: I suffered some leg and back problems several months ago, then just as...

I've been told for a few years that I should get my thyroid checked, but I just kept putting it off. Well, yesterday, a spiritual healer (yes, I believe in energy healing) told me, quite seriously, that I should have my thyroid checked. He said that it isn't functioning properly and looks...

This might already have been mentioned here, but better to be repetitious than risk it: I was told today that if you have Peter Pan peanut butter or Value Time peanut butter coded 2111 (2-1-11???) on the lid, THROW IT AWAY!!!!! DO NOT EAT IT!!!! It's contaminated with salmonella. Hope...

I thought the other thread was revealing the secret of another pencil test I know about. This pencil test tells you if you are going to have a boy or a girl. You don't have to be pregnant for it to work. Here's what you do: Take a regular old pencil with an eraser. stick a needle into the...

So, it wasn't Peyton Manning or Bob Sanders, but Terence Wilkins is a great punt returner. He's a well-known name here in Indianapolis, so I feel honored to have met him. I said, "Thank you for an exciting season," and he replied, "Well, thank you for all the support." I answered, "I've...

I was thinking about this this morning, and so many people get all upset by some of the comments Simon, Randy, and Paula dish to these no-talents who audition for the show. I realized this morning that I don't feel sorry for those people. They've watched the show. They know what the judges...

I don't know what's going on in other parts of the country, but here in Indianapolis land the nasty bug has hit...although it's not that nasty for the majority. A smaller percentage of people who get it get "the works" (won't go into the details), but the majority I've talked to just get mild...

Two of my cats just love it when I sing. Right now I'm singing the theme song from Memoirs of a Geisha, and the one cat sprang up from her nap and rushed over to me and started loving on me. The other cat loves it when I sing an old 80's rock ballad called "Love is On The Way" by Saigon Kick...

My company was just "merged" with another one in a different time zone a few months ago. Our new parent company seems to conveniently "forget" this when it serves their own interests. Friday, someone from the other office scheduled my boss (the VP of Operations for BOTH offices - he's...

I hate pushups just about as much as the rest of you (based on that other thread about pushups, that's a lot of you). Pushups have always been super hard for me, as I have very little upper body strength. Something that is getting me over my hatred of pushups, though, is a goal I've set...

It's almost the big day! Two more games and we'll know who's going to the Superbowl. So who do you think will win from the following matchups: AFC Championship - Colts/Patriots NFC Championship - Saints/Bears Who do you think will take it all? I'm from Indianapolis, so I've got to...
