    Runners: Blisters?

    This might sound crazy, but knee highs work great. Whenever I run long distances I wear a pair under my socks & since doing this have not had a blister yet. I roll them down so I don't look like a dork. Who knows maybe it could become a new fashion trend. Ari

    Silly question for marathon runners....

    I've lost 4 toe nails. They all came back fine. I have tried all different types of shoes & socks. I pull my toes back when I run which causes the extra strain on my toes. Goodluck training!!! In the summer I just paint my skin red with polish. You can hardly tell there is no nail there.

    Spiders.. how do I get them out of my house?

    I found a great book that has all natural pest remedies. For spiders it says: 1. Sprinkle the herb pennyroyal in areas that spiders frequent & they will never come back. 2. Place cedar chips in the toes of old pantyhose & hang where you have a problem. 3. Place a hedgeapple or two in...

    Wierd Food Combos....

    I might hurl just typing this. My grandma once served (in a bowl) a poached egg on a piece of toast with milk poured on top. NAAAAAAASTY!!!!!!!!! I refused to eat it. My DH loves bread, a slice of cheese, & cherry pie filling. He claims to be a picky eater! Ari

    Root Canals

    I am a dental assistant - so I am no way an expert. If you are concerned call your endodontist. However it is normal to experience pain for about a week. Your tooth goes through a lot of trauma during the RCT procedure. Ari

    Deodorant?

    Ghost story

    I went to Europe to do an international internship during college. We were staying in a Japanese dorm/finishing school for young girls. This dorm had previously been a hospital so it was kinda creepy. So one night I wake up in the middle of the night and see this figure in full ornate, Japanese...

    TV Series "Starved" - Take action now.

    RE: TV Series I think the show is hilarious. The main male character is a replica of an old room mate. Thank God we have the freedom to select what we want to watch and what we don't. What really annoys me is when people try to determine what is suitable for everyone. Ari

    Anyone have this skin condition?

    I would try to go to a dermatologist. I had eczema on my back and had my OBGYN and 2 other doctors look at it. They had me freaking out thinking I had all kinds of fungus and creepy sounding things. I finally broke down & went to a dermatologist when nothing that I was prescribed cleared up the...

    Question about Lexapro?

    I am very sensitive to meds. The first week I started taking it I slept for 24 hrs straight. It really freaked me out when I was driving to work and became dizzy w/blurred vision. I went off of it immediately. Ari

    Eating disorder question

    I began counseling in '93 for an eating disorder. After bouncing from counselor to counselor, I finally found one that made sense. He says that an eating disorder is about gaining control. Once I gained control of certain situations in my life & changed my way of thinking, I began to struggle...

    crunches

    I agree that you do not need to work your abs every day & that quality is better than quantity. I was surprised by what I was reading on that site. I have done Core max 1,2 & 3 consecutively (I couldn't do all of the jack knives). My abs were fatigued, but I pushed through it. When I work abs...

    Any female runners around here?

    I too love to run. I ran the Chicago marathon in 2003 and kinda got burned out. I moved in the middle of training & ended up doing my final training on a treadmill. Try running 20 miles on a treadmill. I think it was actually harder than the marathon. I watched 2 movies during that run. I would...

    crunches

    I was on another message board and found a post where they were challenging each other to do 100 crunches a day. Someone chimmed in and said that if you can do 100 crunches you are doing them incorrectly. Several people responded and said that they were not doing them consecutively, but...
