I eat essentially Paleo (grain, sugar and dairy free), and strictly low FODMAPS, which, for anyone interested, is this (from Stanford Hospital Digestive Health and Nutrition Center): The Low FODMAP Diet (FODMAP=Fermentable Oligo-Di-Monosaccharides and Polyols) FODMAPs are carbohydrates (sugars) that are found in foods. Not…

I run about 2 miles BEFORE my hot power yoga class 3-4 out of the 5 (yoga) days a week. I do it in this order because of the time I drop my kid at school, and when the class starts, and for NO other reason. If I ran after, I would be late for work! If I skip yoga one day, I will run 4-5 miles instead. I've been wondering…

I run, and I hate it too. Sometimes it's bearable and sometimes pure misery, but I do LOVE the endorphin high afterward... and quite honestly, BECAUSE I hate it so much, I always feel proud of myself for doing it... which is nice! I've also signed up for an 8K 2 years in a row to give me something to train for, and keep me…

I also totally love my big-*kitten* Galaxy S III... GREAT phone, and have not heard anything to the contrary by anyone more tech-savvy than myself.

1. Yes, though there it was painful for both of us, we remained entirely civil and have rebuilt our friendship since. 2. Nope, no way. 3. Yes. I cheated... looking for some excitement and a way out, I guess. 4. I don't regret the divorce, I truly regret cheating, and the subsequent relationship A LOT though. 5. No, I took…

^^ What he said!

But..........I DO!

Almost half of you "old" men are younger men to me... and I'm totally ok with that! :flowerforyou:

"I wanna" my business to be slammin' all the time, booking out a month ahead, phone ringing off the hook! "I wanna" love myself to love others, and be proud of how I conduct myself in the world, doing my best to stay positive, generous and kind... and not take any bulls**t! "I wanna" have legs (and boobs) like Brigitte…

I want to sing like Etta James or Irma Thomas, but it ain't never gonna happen. I'd also love to play an instrument like guitar, bass, drums...hell, even mandolin...be in a band. Maybe if I start now...I can be a rockstar at 90.

Coconut! The "beverage" style is great as a milk substitute for cereal etc. Coconut Dream is my favorite brand. So Delicious is good too. Coconut cream from a can is great for coffee and tea.

I was in bed asleep, woke up to the phone ringing, and I heard my Dad's voice on the answering machine (remember THOSE?!) saying "Oh my god, we are at WAR! Oh my god.". I grabbed the phone and turned on the news, and we watched together (he in Thailand and me in California) the second plane hit. We cried on the phone, and…

Hey! Optimism, please! I am just 2 weeks single for the first time in 18 years... (no dates, but) so far so good... I think.

Agreed. She is incredibly lucky to have such a supportive and understanding partner, but I think calling her out (gently) and standing up for yourself is the only way to gain her respect, if not her support. Tell her it hurts. I just let go of an unsupportive and emotionally abusive partner, he told me that I was…

Hi...I'm 41. Beets are amazing...I crave them, and eat them all kinds of ways. I didn't read the whole thread, but I assume it's pretty evenly split, but very strong on 'love' or 'hate' and not many in between "beets, meh..." types?

Get a GI Health Panel test, if you can find a Dr. who does them. This is how I learned of my gluten, dairy, corn and soy intolerances. http://www.diagnostechs.com/Pages/GIPatientOverview.aspx

I lose weight when I rest...can't explain it, but that's when I've lost every lb in the last 4 mos. Gotta hit it hard in between, though.

Coconut Bliss - Ginger Cookie Caramel... oh, dude.

I'm an esthetician. I have a waxing business... yes, lots of bikini waxing, but I'm truly a genius with eyebrows. I'm also a makeup artist, I do makeup for photo shoots for bands, local businesses, weddings and fashion shows... or whatever someone wants me to put makeup on them for. I'm a recently certified Nutritional…

Definitely VH I' and 'VH II', and sure, '1984' for middle school nostalgia's sake... and Diamond Dave is the only singer they ever had as far as I'm concerned... Lalalalalalalalaaaa! *hands over ears*

Wow. One of my best friends just ended up in the hospital last week when he passed out from dehydration, fell flat on his face, biting through his lip until his teeth poked out the other side. Stitches, an IV and a night in the hospital. As long as I've known him (23 years) he's always said, "I get all the water I need…

I've been on both ends of this...so it really varies depending on the situation. I really hate parties at those huge "Fun center" type places, but yes, they are inevitable. I will always stay when the party is at a crazy place filled with noise and strangers. Though, I think there is a certain age when you know your kid(s)…

Noses with a bump, or "Roman" noses...oh my! Some of my favorites: 1) Rudolph Valentino 2) John Lurie 3) Sonny Rollins ...and if you don't know who they are, think: 4) Joe Manganiello 5) Tony Ward (that model/actor who dated Madonna in the 90's) 6) Chris Noth has a pretty good one too... Scratchy voices are hot too, and…

First World problems...

Saaaaame here! Never thought twice about it, it's HIS name (and maybe a new wife's at some point), not mine anymore...I wanted to become "ME" again. I moved to a new state at the same time, so I had to update my DL and everything anyway.

THAT'S it! It's Pajama Jeans from now on...

I had to educate my daughter on the Rolling Stones recently because of that song too! She and her friends were arguing over which one of them really knew who "Jagger" was, and I said, "Trust me, none of you do!"...and we watched YouTube vids and listened to RS records for an hour that night. It was awesome, though!

Not my first...that was Ralph Macchio or Harrison Ford as Han Solo (was never into blondes)...but this one changed my life for the better, and STILL holds up.........*swoon!*:

NE Portland here! I know a ton of great hiking spots. Add me!

Agree with the first part...not so much on the second. If there are enough OTHER common interests (music, culture, ideology), what's the big deal? I do yoga and Zumba (as well as lifting) at the gym, I wouldn't expect a guy to get in to those so much, nor have I seen too many in those classes that I'd want to date. It's…
