Yep - out of college I lived with my parents for a grand total of 5 weeks - that was how long it took me to find a job. During that 5 weeks I went to a temp agency and picked up a job (started 1 day after I interviewed there) driving a forklift for the night shift at a recycling plant - literally moving peoples trash…

Haha - I think she pretty much wins the argument with that one.

I do not know what is the driving force behind you ideals - religion, your family, you grew up in a small town and are still stuck in the 1950's, or whatever - but honestly you need to realize that what you think is ideal is not necessarily ideal or right for anyone else. I feel so much less stressed or emotionally drained…

1 - Dating in High School is nothing like dating in college, or post college, or later. As you age things change how you could possibly compare a date when you are 16 to a date when you are 26 is beyond my comprehension - just goes to show that while most people mature and grow up - you probably did not. 2 - There is…

The point is what works for your boring life works for you. I am not talking about the club scene nor the dating scene - I am talking about the ME scene and doing what I want when I want with no repercussions or opposition. I want to snowboard - I snowboard, I want to go to a concert, I go - I want to buy a new car, I do…

Hope you enjoyed Greys Anatomy last night while I was out partying with awesome good looking fun and exciting people! The best single times of my life happened beyond 25 - you missed out buddy.

^^^ Yep. I went through college had lots of fun, after college all of my friends have kids, marriages, and many are divorced and miserable. I am turning 30 in 7 months and I have never been having so much fun in all my life - I see all my friends sitting home with their SigOther and watching television and letting…

One more thing - many (not all) of the "good men" are typically going to be the ones who are more shy, and more nervous to approach a woman - so perhaps you need to be more aggressive in your dating and actually go after a man rather than sitting around waiting for them to find you.

^^ What she said! If your sole goal in life is to get married then perhaps you need to expand you pool of acceptable candidates. I am 29 and have been in several long term live-in type relationships at this point in my life, and I am extremely happy I have never been married. Each one of those 3+ year relationships ( I…

I am Single - and have every intention of staying that way.

I do love and have always loved veggies - fresh or frozen, don't care much for canned ones. 5 Years ago I stopped eating meat which prompted me to increase my veggie intake - after 5 years they just get better and better, and the more you eat them and cook with them the more you appreciate the natural flavors.

I prefer smaller ones - they typically come with a hot body and sexy legs. Most guys are not going to care how big they are, especially if you are good looking and fun to be around.

I'm confused is this in September or November? Title says Sept, comments say Nov. If its November I would be more interested as I prefer it to be very cold. Is there a website for this race? Thanks!

Lifelong Hawkeye fan but ISU Grad - I like both teams but always choose Iowa when they play Iowa State.

I am from the Great (flat) state of Iowa. Have lived here most of my life. I am a snowboard instructor at Seven Oaks in Boone, IA - I began the Des Moines Rail Jam - urban snowboard competition in 2008, and ran it in 2009 - then passed over the event to the Des Moines Winter Games festival. This upcoming year will be my…

Incredible transformation - your hard work really paid off - you look amazing

Welcome to MFP! If you set your goal, keep your expectations reasonable, and stay within your caloric requirements each day there is no better way to loose weight. I figured it would take me a year or so to reach my goals, but I am on track to do it in about half the time. Feel free to add me if you are looking for friends!

I work at a ski area on the weekends and was the Terrain Park manager and have been for several years. This last winter the conditions were so terrible I lost all motivation to work on the Terrain park knowing that every feature that I built would be completely worthless within an hour. The average temp was in the 40's and…

Already have been watching my videos, practicing in the foam pit, and riding my freebord. I sure hope we get more snow this season though. I live in IA and last year we got a grand total of 4 inches where I live. A typical winter is several feet over the winter. No more man made snow please!

My primary vehicle in the summer is my 2012 Harley Iron 883 which replaced my 1980 Yamaha XS400 For winter and rainy days I have a 2012 PriusC which replaced my 2010 Prius.

There are not too many people who are actually active in the Iowa group so sometimes it takes quite a while to get a response. I can not provide much advice as I attended a different college and was in a different field, but I will say best of luck, Iowa is a great school and going to school to become a teacher is a very…

Welcome to the site - it is fantastic and makes fitness management an afterthought. Log what you eat, stay in your goal - loose weight! Congrats on your progress too!

Are you looking for other recipes using chicken - or other ideas all together? I am vegetarian so I do not eat any chicken but some ideas that came to mind: Chicken Tacos or ground turkey tacos - if you have never had - try them, its better tasting than beef. Grilled Chicken burger - so many options going this route.…

Not sure what the brand was - but it was in a clear glass container - you could see the stones, and had a black screw on lid. Stones looked like white ceramic-ish and the syrup color was different for different flavors.

I may have to give them a try then. I saw them in a shop and they were $35 for a container, and the non-tobacco herbal blend stuff was only $7 so i bought that, after it was gone I immediately went back to the star buzz stuff. I already have the vortex bowl which is required for usage of the stones - but I have also been…

I have been curious about this myself. I get my hookah out a couple times a month. The stones are way more expensive. I really like the feeling from tobacco based shisha that I do not get with the herbal blended shisha. I was wondering if the stones actually give you a buzz too or if its just about smoke and flavor?

I am experiencing this as well. I never want to work out anymore and my eating has been getting worse. I combat this lack of motivation by doing fun things I want to do to work out. My favorite is going to SkyZone - the trampoline park, I have a blast and you can burn 1000 calories per hour. For food, my garden is…

I make a smoothie using a slim fast shake, and it makes me feel very full. I only drink them after workouts really to pump me full of nutrients and cool me down - but they pretty much satisfy my hunger for the rest of the evening. 1 French Vanilla Slim Fast Shake 1 Banana 6 Strawberries 1 scoop of whey protein about 1/3…

Probably just bored - I would be after 5 years... Change things up, find something exciting to do together (in the bedroom or not), it may help.

Mine do that as well - its not really painful just uncomfortable and annoying. Some exercises I will modify them to avoid the popping, the other thing you can do is figure out what you can do to take your mind off of it, I found what works for me.
