Yikes! is there anything that can be used to neutralize the pepper, or at least, tone it down? I know you can use baking soda to neutral tomato acid in spaghetti sauce, but don't know about peppers. I'm a wimp; many foods marked mild are too hot for me!
I will have a lot of milk on hand. I also destroyed a lot of my taste buds when I was young and stupid, so hopefully it will be OK.0 -

Omg just the thought of this chili scares me!!! Milk should help. If I've cut chillies I will wash my hands with milk after1 -

We're looking at Easter Caribbean like st Thomas and st Maarten. We like those islands
Yikes for your son's school prep. Kids are worked so hard these days. We're off in a little bit for an interview at a school for my son for next year. Eek0 -

Sounds fun! Years ago (in my 20's) went on a cruise to Barbados, St Thomas, St Martin...forget where else..but fun!!
So agree its a lot...just got another email about taking the PSAT again in Feb......
..tough getting him to communicate so we can grasp where his head is at, and what he wants to do (at 16..LOL)!
He is currently in an intense computer science program...outside of that I have not clue what he wants to study or where he wants to go to school...its hard because its so abstract to him..
In May he is going with his computer science program to Canada for a week they are getting a tour of Oracle/Q&A...see some colleges in the area
I guess well figure it out!
have a good one

Wow. Nice. Where is Oracle in Canada? Haha.
I went for a run today and didn't die
Also the school we had the interview at basically had already decided to accept him this was just to decide how they can best accomodate him so that's a yay and wow we're gonna be poor0 -

It was fairly tame in the end. I put it on before going to work, at about 7 a.m.; and I went for a climb after work. So I only got home at around 10 p.m. - I suspect the 15 hours cooking time helped to dissipate the heat.1 -

Skated this morning. Need to do an exercise video this afternoon after I clean the bedroom and get groceries. I have to get this cardiovascular system back in better shape this break for the shoulder recovery has messed totally with that. Not a happy camper at all4

My kids are back at school today. Our school years run from Jan to Dec - so we get a nice long summer holiday. But that is now over.3

Hey there!
Any working parents who also go to school? I finished my AA last year but gained 24 pounds in the process. Looking to change that as today my calculus and business law classes begin (pursuing Bachelor's in MIS). One is online and the other is 8am-10am W/F. I am so blessed my company allows flex time!
Does anyone have tips on how to balance parenthood with work, school, and health?
Hugs to all!

I finally did it!!! Cardio class at the rink. It was torture. Man it's hard getting back into being fit but hey I am happy to help out anyone who's been down with injuries or life and want to get back at it and show it can be done. Just takes work. That's what this website is for isn't it? I think many lose track of that point and it becomes just another form of social media. So there you go it is possible to recover from Surgery in your 40s and get back active. Now..... how long it will take for the old cardio system to get back into shape is another subject2

To add friends on MFP: (this is for the desktop app)
1) Click on the username in the left sidebar. A window showing the username will open.
2) Click on the username again. The user's profile will open.
3) Click on the "Add Friend" button on the user's profile page. There is an option to send a message along with the request. That's always a good idea - just a short note mentioning where you saw the user, some common interests or goals, etc.0 -
^^ what Steve up there said. It's always nice to include a message so the person knows your goals or how you found them. I decline 99% of requests without a message because I kind of want to know why we should be friends first
So ever have one of those days where everything is awesome? Good amazing news, class this morning was just two of us, figured out I can spin again, ran into people while shopping. Gonna do a stretch video to ease my muscles now and celebrate the good news tonight!1 -
I’m 47 looking to change my eating lifestyle to get healthy looking for others with the same goals for support1
