Thank you! I'll check it out.

Hunting. Ick.

Thanks. I do have asthma but I don't feel wheezy after a cold air run, it just hurts. I'll try using my inhaler and see if it helps. My Dr. would probably just tell me to run inside. ugh

Ha ha, that's cute. lol If they could make one that looks like the guys on Duck Dynasty, they'd probably get rich.

Congratulations everyone! I graduated in Nov. and have now started the 5k to 10k bridge. I'm so excited! I am 51 years old and I never even ran a mile in high school.

5k 3-4 times a week and I'm working on the 5k to 10k bridge and I plan on doing that 3 times a week when I'm done.

That was amazing rude! I also had a neighbor who told me, the day I buried my beautiful yellow lab, that she had rat terrier puppies born that same day, in case I wanted to buy one. If she only knew how much I hated her annoying, loud, uncontrolled noisemaking, dogs that she doesn't even care about! Even my lab hated her…

Aww how sad for them. :( I agree with what someone else said, have a photo album made for them. You can to go shutterfly or walgreens and have a small one made for not much $. Or just get photos from them (steal them from FB if you can. lol ) put them in a small album and creatively write the dogs name on the front? Or use…

Haha! That's a good one!

Not IN it, just on my butt cheek, or a *kitten*, I dont know! Just something crazy that they would NOT expect to see on an old lady that would make them laugh. I worked in EMS for years and it's nice to have something to laugh at once in a while. lol

I don't really care for them due to the permanent factor..however.........I like to have a sense of humor and I'd love to have one on my butt that's a pic of a really big umm, well, guy's thing (or anything else amusing :) )and the words Have a nice day or 'smile' next to it. I only want it so when I'm old and in a nursing…

I use olive oil, but not as much as most recipes call for. Any kind of vinegar I have on hand, which can be rice wine vinegar, red wine, seasoned rice, regular, apple cider vinegar, a bit of balsamic, whatever. I add herbs like parsley, oregano, basal and some garlic or garlic powder, paprika, a pinch of salt, pepper and…

Many different ways! Microwave frozen, fresh, roast in the oven with paprika, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper and a bit of pam spray or olive oil. I buy a frozen Palermo Margharita pizza and basically cover the entire thing with diced mushrooms, red bell peppers, onions and sometimes jalapenos. Half of one pizza is only…

this! If your hrm does not have a chest strap, it doesn't update your heart rate constantly, therefore, will not record an accurate burn. Also, a treadmill that doesn't calculate your weight, age, heart rate, etc. is probably based on an average sized person. We all know most of us are not average! A 300lb person will burn…

First, Id see a Dr. and find out what is going on. Do you use a cushioned treadmill? They are better for your feet and knees. However, if you only use a treadmill exclusively then decide to go run 4 miles outside, you may have a hard time. There is a big difference. Make sure you run outside some BEFORE your race. Slow…

Yes! Be patient and you'll get the right dose for your body. Keep your appointments for blood tests and keep taking your meds. If you don't take them, your metabolism will NOSEDIVE and you'll get very ill. My husband has Grave's disease and went through the same thing. He had the ups and downs of losing weight with the…

I have to add this one too. My husband and lab snore so I wear earplugs in order to get any sleep. I take them out when I get up to go to the bathroom and sometimes find them in the bed, on the floor or wherever when I'm too out of it to shove them back into my ears. One morning I woke up and literally had one shoved up my…

I went for a walk with my dog one night and came across something reallyyy weird. My pup starting pulling to the side of the road so I knew she saw something there. I looked up and saw what I thought was a teenager crouched down behind their mailbox. I knew that they had a few kids so I thought that 'he' was hiding from…

Me too!

After going through it and recovering from it myself, all I can say is listen when he needs you to and don't bring it up, let him do it when he's ready. When I first tried talking about 'it', I'd hyperventilate and run from the room and that was from counselors. I was lucky and only had nightmares and panic attacks for 6…

I have a HRM and I burn massive amts of calories while fishing on shore. I cast and reel fish in repeatedly plus walk/climb up and down the rocks (more like boulders) on shore. I also have to walk up the big hill to use the bathroom. I always wondered how 'fishing' exhausted me and now I know!

If you're having pain, ust have it removed. If you don't you may end up having a traditional 'knife' surgery and the pain and recovery takes MUCH LONGER. You also can have it rupture and that's another whole topic. I had mine removed on a Thurs and was back to work on Monday. The pain was minimal and I recovered quickly.…

A hot air balloon ride for him and a guest!

I have that same problem. I also hardly get thirsty in the wintertime and with kidney stones, I have to keep drinking. Making a pitcher of flavored water helps.... I just make myself drink a glass (8oz) when I take my vitamins, one with each meal, with each snack and one more cup before I go to bed. I usually make generic…

I don't know if this applies to you or not but I've noticed that I shower a LOT more often since I started working out. I too, have had breakouts and what works for me is to wash my face BEFORE I work out. When you're all sweaty and hot, your pores open and in goes the bacteria, dirt, sweat and whatever else is on your…

I would eat all of it except for aspartame. I use generic splenda.

Feed it to someone's cat. I've probably purchased the wrong brands, but it was always nasty! Fresh is so much better!

Maui, Hawaii is one of my favorites. Also, I know Aruba has gotten a bad rap the last several years but it is amazing! US virgin islands, Sanibel Island, FL., the Fl. Keys, the Grand Canyon is unbelievable. Do you have certain things you like to do when you travel? Staying in the US? Outside the US? That would help give us…

I met my husband at the lake I grew up at. He was working on a boat and I was there swimming with my girlfriends. We've been married for over 33 years now! We still go boating and swimming and now live within a mile from that lake. We camp, fish, hike and do all sorts of things together that we enjoy, but still have our…
