FTFY! (for future reference, use the second thing you posted, and then change the 'IMG' to 'img' and ta da!

I'd pay off my student loans, pay off my parents' house, buy my partner's mom and step-dad a house, pay off all of mine and my partner's debt and buy us a house. I could do this all with about 250k -- that's not too much to ask for, right? HAHA I'd put the rest in a bank, get my dream job, no matter how much or little it…

welcome! Feel free to add (i'm a fellow gemini, btw) I will support you as best I can! :-D

I've been meaning to write a bucket list, i've only ever been able to think of two (the first two below) so: Sing in European cathedrals Travel to Sydney and see a show at the opera house Visit every state in the USA Roadtrip across the country Build/Own a home Ride in a hot air balloon Ride in a helicopter (but not for…

Hello all of you! :-D If you haven't added me already, please do! I forget to check this group but maybe once a week (still sayin' they should ahve a notification system of some sort...but hey, it's free, we get what we pay for, right? haha) So great to have so many more locals!

i'm technically the last-born in my immediate family -- and i fit the majority of those characteristics, but my HUGE family (cousins + aunts and uncles) is very close, we grew up in the same town, etc. so we're like one HUGE immediate family, so because of that (and me being the second oldest of 15, where the oldest is 8…

i know what you mean! i can't pass up LOTS of samples at costco. I dont know if they have it at yours, but at mine they have these INCREDIBLE seafood dips (maryland blue crab, maine lobster, and smoked salmon) and OMG i go back for seconds and thirds. for most of the samples, they're small enough that i consider the load…

So many new faces! HELLO EVERYONE!! as a group, we struggle to keep up with postings, so if you ask a question and don't get a response right away, do not fret! It's not that we dont want to help, just some of us forget to check here more than 1-2 times per week (<raises hand> guilty party right here) I'm so happy to see…

GREAT! keep it up! I just passed -40, myself, and I CAN NOT WAIT to go to an amusement park and not be embarrassed! Keep up the great work!

i tried to do it as a joke and failed miserably. he didn't get the joke and was very confused as to why i asked him to make me a sandwich. HAHA

I do chair dips, desk push ups, squats, and calf raises DAILY. chair dips: http://youtu.be/tKjcgfu44sI desk push ups: http://youtu.be/Ax_lDzVHgOE (squats and calf raises are self explanatory) I do the last two while waiting for things like the copier, the fax, the printer to print, my coffee to be ready, my lunch to warm…

Ringo! Tell that b*tch to be cool. Say it, say "b*tch be cool"! --pulp fiction :)

I very much prefer Inova. The staff is ALWAYS so nice and the blood goes directly the the hospitals right here where we live (and just think! if you donate and the need blood, there's a chance you'd get your own back! hehe) thanks for being a life saver!

For the month of February i'm doing a "fab ab february" challenge. It's pretty easy but i'm doing it on top of my usual exercises. You can find the calendar i'm following here: http://friedgreenpickles.blogspot.com/2012/02/fab-ab-february.html I make a new recipe whenever possible and post the best ones i invent on my blog…

I highly recommend it. It's so much closer to your real calories burned numbers than any estimator because it knows YOUR information and YOUR heart rate (essentially how hard you're really working). I'm 5'9", 256 and doing 30minutes of medium-high intensity on my elliptical burns about ~350 calories according to my HRM,…
