I tried it because of my husband's grandmother. She swears by it and I just couldn't deal with it. I drank my coffee black and unsweetened that trip...

I think you were the same that comment on my picture. Not sure how "uzi and teddy bear" equates with "having family members watching you die from a horrid disease". And I call BS on the "you have to be tan to not burn in the south". I lived in both of the Carolinas (four years in all) and the only time I burned was when we…

I have a .38 special snub nosed S&W Diamondback. My husband has a .40 Taurus that he really likes. I like the Taurus too, though. It's a pretty great gun.

Awesome NSV. And safe travels to you husband. Is he military or contractor or something else entirely?

If you go into your food diary and "add food" and type in "breast feeding", it'll actually give you a negative calorie count. ETA: It doesn't do it in the exercise section, only in the food section.

I was pregnant on my 21st birthday. I didn't actually know as a fact, but my body sent the signal to my brain that drinking would not be fun. Strange how that works. I'm not a big drinker (I think I've been drunk twice, and both were at home with just me and my husband), but I did chaperone a Marine Corps "wet down". There…

I can't get past the aftertaste it leaves. I don't do a lot of sweetener in the first place (mostly just in my morning coffee) so I just stick to regular refined sugars (as evil as it may be to many people). I just hate the aftertaste.

Yeah, and my dad didn't have to have any melanomas removed until he was 50. You're not immune just because you're only 32.

That doesn't sound very normal at all. I think it's more likely that you're just catching a stomach flu or something. But if it persists more than a few days, I'd get checked out by a doctor.

Then why did you agree with the people who said they've tanned their entire life and have a "que sera, sera" attitude toward dying of cancer?

So, what you guys are saying is that instead of dying from natural causes, you would be totally okay with dying from cancer. Wow. I hope you guys don't have family to watch you suffer from making horrible decisions. You might as well pick up smoking and go play with some asbestos if you really think cancer is a good way to…

Tried it once. Gagged. Dumped the rest down the drain.

Insomnia sucks. I'm hypo too, so I totally feel you on this. I've got the anxiety thing going too, and I just can't shut my brain off when I lay down for bed and have no distractions. Lorazepam has been awesome for it. It helps me calm my brain enough to fall asleep.

Dude, you can't even spell "ridiculous" correctly, and you're telling people to educate themselves? Take a D supplement (at the same time as calcium) and you'll get all the D you need.

I'm pale as hell and I would never consider tanning. Not only because I know that my family is very prone to skin cancer, but also because of way it destroys your skin. Tanning ages you. It reduces the amount of collagen and the elasticity of your skin which will lead to more wrinkles. It can also damage your eyes if…

Flax does give you gas because it takes so long to digest. Start off with a little less and work your way up, and always always always drink lots of water with it!

I will attest to some of the essential oils being effective for certain things. Lavender is very soothing and can be very helpful for sleep. Mints do help settle a stomach and make a headache go away. But they only work for simple things like that. I wouldn't entertain the idea that they could actually help your depression…

@jcomely1: Nope! Lovely smile!

Escargot. I very nearly threw up when I tried it. Oysters are also a no-go.

I've lost two guinnea pigs or a rack of ribs. Nice.

If you're not drinking enough water while doing something that intense, you might be retaining fluids. I've fluctuated up nine pounds from water retention before.

Speaking of glowing in the dark... If you are pale enough, and thin skinned enough, you can see tons of veins in your body pulsing if you look through night vision. It's pretty creepy.

I've been slowly getting him to at least wear 15SPF if he's going to be out for a while. And MAN, did I nag the crap out of him when he didn't and he got burned! I think I may have annoyed him into wearing it just so it'd shut me up! I'm very fearful. My dad has had three cancerous skin lesions removed, my mom has had at…

I will compete with you for the klutz award. I'm lucky I haven't lost a limb yet.

1. I have not had my natural hair color for 12 years. 2. I like prunes. 3. I know the best way to get rid of a body. 4. I'm bipolar. 5. I'm pretty sure I'm immortal.

I hate the whole "tan is healthy!" mentality. There is way too much skin cancer in my family for me to think that tan is healthy. I will stay pale, thankyouverymuch. I will douse myself in sunscreen if I'm going out for longer than ten minutes, and I will do the same to my children. I can't force my husband to do the same,…

Sounds to me that you'll very quickly find yourself tired and sluggish I understand fasting for religious purposes, but doing it AND cutting your calories? Sounds like a suicide plan to me. You're supposed to "break fast" so that you can nourish your body. And sorry, but eating shakes twice a day and nothing else for a…

I don't get how you can think that people are "content" with being over weight just because they haven't gotten the hang of eating right. Most people aren't used to a balanced diet. Yeah, they show you the food pyramid in school, but fast food is everywhere, you can get almost any meal from a box or already cooked, just…

We put in an offer on a beautiful house. It's given me a wonderful, natural high.

Awesome job, and great smile! You seem like a happy dude!
