I graduated in 1977. We had a remote control for our TV. Dad would say "Change the channel" and one of us would (whomever was closest to the TV and the antenna control.

To any who suffer from emotional eating / binge eating / eating disorders, there is a website, www.therecoverygroup.org that is an online group. It is a 12 step program online for Overeaters Anonymous. They go through the 12 steps once a quarter onlline. I think they also have online "meetings". I don't know about the…

Try focusing outside of yourself. Instead of thinking less of yourself, think of yourself less. When you focus on others, and how you can help them, you begin to start feeling positive about yourself, and that will go a long way to counteract any negative self image. People REALLY DO notice when someone is helpful,…

Watching the precursor of MTV at keggers while I was at my first duty station in the Navy ... (Friday Night Videos!)

If you show that you pay your bills on time, you should be bankable for a good rate on a mortgage with a company that does manual underwriting. Just ask the lender if they do so. That being said, your student loans that you have taken out will count toward your credit score. make sure you pay aunt Sallie Mae on time also.…

Excellent! It's nice to see progress, and even nicer that you are BOTH working toward the same goal! That makes it SOOOOO much easier.

At a church luncheon today, a couple of people were talking about minimum wage, and it took me back to when I entered the workforce between high school and college ... minimum wage had JUST been raised to $1.65/hr

If you're winning with money such that you can afford to save up and pay cash for everything except for a home, you DON'T need to have a credit score. As I said, pay your rent early or on time for at least two years, and you're bankable for a conventional mortgage at a competetive rate by a company that does manual…

Pay your rent on time for at least two years, and pile up money while you are doing so to build up a nice down payment, of at least 20 percent. Then you'll be bankable for a traditional mortgage from a company that does MANUAL underwriting, not FICO score lending. You don't need to go deeply into debt so that you can go…

Interest rate is the rate you would pay to use someone else's money to buy something. When you borrow money, you are assigned a risk factor that is based on your credit (borrowing) history. Let's say you borrowed 100 dollars, at 20 percent interest rate (annual percentage rate), and you were to pay it back over the period…

Thank you for those recipes. I may have to try them out.

God bless you for realizing your powerlessness over that cunning, baffling, and powerful liquid. Use that feeling that you have in your soul and ask God for His help with making better choices with food. I have had seven wonderful months of sobriety by God's grace, and I can HONESTLY say that I have NEVER BEEN BETTER, FELT…

www.therecoverygroup.org is a 12 step website for people with eating disorders. You won't be able to get it under control until you get to the root of the problem, and that will require some hard work and a good amount of HONEST self-examination. Best of luck to you, and you will be in my prayers. Summary of the first…

I remember watching "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons" when they were on in Prime Time, and I still have my pocket calculator from high school, and it's 35 yrs old.

Currently: Genesis

Buy more! Boca burgers aren't too awful, as long as you dress them properly. I also understand that "textured soy protein" is available. And you can probably use Tofu for your ground "meats"

To me, faith is very important. Faith gives me my motivation is to make this earthly vessel I have been given capable of doing God's work while I am here. I know that I cannot do it alone, and that I am lost without God. It is ONLY by God's loving grace that I am alive and sane today (which is a topic for another thread,…

Chalk it up to experience, and move on. Please don't beat yourself up over this, and just remember that feeling for the next time. You have apparently made pretty good progress since you started, and you should be proud of your accomplishments to date. You can fall many times, but you aren't a failure unless you don't get…

I am guessing that your sister doesn't need to be with him either. He sounds like a very abusive person. Instead of talking to him, since that is apparently like talking to a wall, talk to your sister, and see if you can help her to see this guy for what he really is. If you are spiritual people, ask God for help in how to…

"Breathe" by Michael W Smith ... Has a wonderfully mystical feel to it, and I get inspiration from it!

Yes, it is because you have eaten food and drunk water. I weigh myself each morning, but I have been doing so for several years, and I know what my body does, and how it reacts to certain foods/mealtimes, etc. I have also weighed myself throughout the day, so I know how my body weight fluctuates during the day. Before I…

AMEN! Our bodies are truly just jars of clay, housing our spirits while we are passing through this life. I agree totally that we need to ensure that our spiritual self gets its "daily bread" also. This is my daily bread: I'm lost without you, God I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13,…

Thanks! It's a combination preservation/restoration. The interior is original and is still in decent shape. Other than the AR wheels, it's pretty much stock and original. Here's my one run at Ohio Valley, against a 2004 GTO. He got a little excited at the line, and so didn't hook up as well as I did!…

Your "reality" dream car is pretty sweet! I watched an Evo stomp a 12 second Corvette up at O'Reilly a few years back. That was awesome to watch, cause the Corvette driver just KNEW he had this one, after knocking off a few other Vettes!

SCHWEEEEEEETTTTT!

Thanks, here's a couple more (hopefully)

<---- My '70 GTO!

it changed on mine, also. Click the compatibility view button in your navigation bar, and all will be well with the world. I'm using windows 7-64, IE 9.

I was ... six months ago. I was in a deep depression. I was in extreme emotional pain. I had no interest in living. I wanted to run away from life. I wanted to run away from home. I wanted to just disappear, figuring no one would miss me. Then the miracle happened. Out of desperation, I prayed to a god I didn't believe in,…

I always use the first, when I step on it more than once.
