You actually are probably eating too little. The best thing that I've seen so far for figuring out what you should eat is this: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 It's a long read, but once you get to the tools at the bottom, it all makes sense and really does help. I…

I have a 2008 Toyota Prius. I love it. I love the safety features and the gas mileage. You can pack a surprisingly large amount into it, too. We originally got it because I had to drive 120 miles round trip three times a week to get my husband to physical therapy in either a 2006 Chevy Equinox or 2007 Ford Mustang GT. They…

:laugh:

The kidneys can process 15-20 liters of water a day. As long as you're also getting sodium, magnesium and potassium in with it (you can get it all from the food you eat), you're fine. Water intoxication usually occurs only in infants and major athletes. Infants under six months get it if they are consuming a lot more fluid…

I just a digital one from Walmart. I think it's the Mainstays brand. It works great for my purposes and is really easy to use.

Fantastic!

With two small kids, I will stay with the convenience of baby carrots for snacking. It's hard enough to keep my son out of trouble, so every second counts. Seriously, it does. I always rinse my food anyway, so I don't see the big deal.

Peanut butter and.... LADIES! (I can't believe no one has jumped on that one yet!)

Some people are really sensitive to it. My mom pretty much breaks out in hives if she has any at all. When I was in nuke school, I'd drink a pot of coffee plus several sodas on a daily basis since I was supposed to be concentrating for twelve hours a day. Yeah... I ended up doing bad things to my heart with it- I now deal…

Well, I'm a little strange and we actually named our children: Andromeda Thalia (Andy for short, and she's five- both first and middle names from Greek mythology) Remiel Ezra (Remy for short, he's almost two, Remiel being "God's Mercy" shortened to Remy after my husband's uncle, may he rest in peace)

This is something I want to save up for. It's the one "vanity" procedure I'll have done. Ladies who have shown pictures- awesome. Just awesome.

Put "want" in one hand and "*kitten*" in the other, and see which fills first.

It was sort of the opposite for us. My dad worked graveyards, so he'd get home and make breakfast for and walk us to school, then go home and sleep, get up, make dinner and head to work. Breakfast and dinner were always as a family, and if my mom cooked it, you didn't WANT to eat it! Hahaha!

Nope. They were friends, it was a total accident, and I didn't suffer too much damage anyway. We even had a 45 minute drive to even get to the town nurse who was also a nun.

As of five years ago, we still used 3.5 inchers in the Navy.

Hell, I got ran over by a tractor and didn't cry until I saw the girl that was driving it crying. I was 8. Didn't break a bone. Got some pretty awesome tread mark bruises, and a gnarly scar on my side, though.

BONZAI!!!!!!! was our normal "dangerous jump" cry. Usually into the river by our house or off the roof into a snow pile... Oddly, I've never fully broken a bone (that I know of...)

My first game console was an Atari 2600. My parents bought one after they first came out and 15 years later, my brother and I played it. I ruled at Pacman and Frogger and Space Invaders.

We eat two meals a day at the table as a family, still. :( All good things are not dead! We also are about to have a house where we will have a living room and a family room- and only a TV in one of them! In fact, we only have one TV anyway.

What's a pay phone? :P

I'm only 26, but does anyone remember Super Ted or Zoobilee Zoo?

I'm still pretty young, but I was raised on the Beatles and listened to vinyls. I still have a set of encyclopedias and a globe that has the USSR on it.

I'm actually off of Zyrtec now and onto hydroxizine and Singulair. I've used Nazonex before and reacted badly to it. I do vacuum daily (I've got kids too, so even if I didn't have the allergies things always need to be vacuumed up), and I wash the sheets on the sanitary cycle weekly. I'm not allergic or intolerant to any…

Not that I know of, and I don't want to try because it's actually a wall unit. It's stuck into a really awkward place in the corner of the room and I don't see any filter to it, or a way to add one without completely blocking what little air flow it has.

No, I've seen it, never used it because of the crazy side effects that I heard of.

What kind of air purifier do you use? I've got all the asthma crap too, so I feel for you. Yesterday, I definitely did everything I didn't want to do (mostly hardcore cleaning- hands and knees, moving furniture, doing walls, all that good crap), and it just wore me out. It was so hard to get up and shower this morning to…

No vents, just crappy insulation (the joys of low income housing), baseboard heaters and a piece of crap wall unit AC. I might try to find a Honeywell (never heard it before) to see if it helps.

Neti pots doesn't work for me. My husband loves it, but the saline literally cannot make it through my sinuses when they get like this. The mucus is so thick and my sinuses get so swollen that it just can't make it through. It ends up backing up and running down my throat.

Dairy, really? I've never heard of that. I don't really have much dairy in my diet other than some cheese...

I am unfortunately not protected by staying indoors. That's the problem. There is no filtration system for this place, so I'm just as miserable inside (though cooler) than if I was outside. I took some sudafed today, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I do my two meds every night, and usually I'm pretty good to go…
