There is probably a reason they don't make them anymore. ;)

Nice collection! I love the old big guys!

That's nonsense!!! You can get a used jeep for MUCH less than that... besides that is what you want.... the I6 not the minivan engine they use NOW! ;) We have the 2000 wrangler and 2000 cherokee.... both I6's and run beautifully!! Sure they aren't gas efficient but they are extremely multipurpose and VERY reliable. I plan…

I went to a new patient appt to check out a new doc..... She is a family practitioner so she would work with me, be my OB, guide me through each pregnancy, deliver my baby AND be the Dr for my kids so I figured I would give her a shot! Well she is a winner! She is a fresh and new Dr... who is familiar with EDS in some…

In addition to the FABULOUS response... once you do get testing started you should also have your heart scanned and your aorta examined. My mom and I have - we think- Type 2 or 1... effecting tissues, joints, skin but not vascular and it is recommended by our our big wig geneticist/ehlers guy. No Joke he is THE GUY.... He…

my most recent stressor is that my hips are ONE-TWO INCHWES too big in order to completely avoid alterations! I have 6 weeks to get rid of those inches and I won't have to alter my dress! lol! Incentive to get even closer to goal by the wedding- we shall see!!

I am glad so many of you found this useful!!! As for using a blender instead- it would completely depend on the capability of your blender. I think a food processor works best. BUT you could also use a bullet or ultimate chopper, you would just make smaller batches. :-D

It is only difficult because of the MODERN diet.... years ago it was not difficult to maintain because it was their only option. I agree that you can't eat 100% these days and it is not easy.... but the effort is up to the consumer and no one else!

I am not reading ALL of teh responses to make sure whether or not someone has suggested it. But you may also consider reading the Primal Bluepring and checking out MarksDailyApple.com... It is more fo a primal that focuses on caveman today's style.... I eat primarily Primal with days off now and then and I thought it would…

WHOA! Lots of responses today!!! :-D Glad to see so much jeep LOVE! :-D Enjoying some Seattle snow this last month! ;) You can probably tell which of the jeeps got more attention... ;) New front and rear bumper and rhino liner flooring going in SOON!

A agree here....... Many of these men that have been posted just don't tickle my fancy. I LOVE bald men- MUST have square jaw and broad shoulders.... Let me see what I can find... Here are a few of my all time faves! :-D Hugh Jackman Brucey :-D Even still today!! Jason Statham! And the delicious Mark Wahlberg As well as…

Ordering flowers wholesale online can help too. Find a family member or friend with flower experience to help with bouquets and orangements. We are making our own centerpieces. I have a friend who has a 7pm wedding and is telling everyone to get dinner in seattle first and then there will be a dessert bar at their…

OH I LOVE OUR FAMILIES!!! We have had NO Problems with people NEEDING to invite other people and stuff.... My inlaws live across the country- so basically we invited immediate family and some outliers to be respectful... knowing they won't make it. My mom has only suggested one or two people that I probably should have…

Not so much so far. I gave up on the venue back in Sept and told the man to find one and he did... otherwise things have been fine. I imagine the last month or so is when things will go crazy... but we have been engaged sine July... and getting married in june. Not too bad so far.

We did our cupcake tasting last week! We decided on our cutting cake (on top) being Irish Carbomb *Guinnes chocolate cake with whiskey fudge filling and baileys frosting* along with some of the cupcakes. The cutting cake will have shrek and fiona figurines ontop and heavy orange and green glitter on the base of the cake…

Holy crap that's LONG!

That is my birthday! :-D

It sounds very plausible.... My pain didn't start till later- teen years probably..... But ALWAYS had flexibility and high risk of dislocation. A doctor can give you a basic physical assessment.... but many dr's have NO CLUE. A genetics doc would have the best input most likely. I was diagnosed with EDS at birth because my…

In the last year or so I have noticed a severe increase in pain in both hands.... primarily the thumb and sometimes into the fingers.... it is the WORST when I use my cell phone frequently for different tasks. :( I also struggle with knee and shoulder pain. But when it is the achey time of the month.... I feel like ALL my…

Don't wait TOO long... I am looking into DJ's right now and they have summer weekends open NOW but because there are so many wedding shows coming up they are likely to book MOST all of them in just a couple wedding shows. I was lucky to book the caterer and florist pretty quickly and she is the same person! :-D But There…

OK! I am so SO ordering this in white for my honeymoon swimsuit!! Woot Woot! Then I will hang it from my bathroom mirror as a constant reminder! ;) 162 days to go! EEK! http://www.amazon.com/Womens-Halter-Monokini-Swimwear-Bikini/dp/B0058JXPAU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1325142377&sr=8-7

Larabars are made of mostly nuts so they are NOT low in calories. But nuts are a wonderful thing to keep in your diet. I am not a calorie cutter so I do not worry about that so much. My main focus is eating REAL food rather than processed. These are delish! You can make them whatever size you want to meet your calorie…

You are right, that IS far away! Why so long??? :-D It will all be enjoyable as you go.

Confused by all the names and technicalities but I was diagnosed with EDS at birth ( my mother has it as well and was diagnosed in the 70's) and now people mix up the two... or relate them, or confuse them or compare them or whatever. haha but There are MANY different classifications of EDS and maybe they are the "Same".…

great thanks. I will shoot for 10 and hope for more! ;) It has been quite the struggle off and on once I hit about 70 lbs loss.... i took a break hoping it would help me get my ball rolling again HOPING! :-D

WHAT? I don't get it?! I ordered mine in the size I am ish.... (goal is to lose the remaining 20 lbs by my fitting) My fitting will be one month before my wedding and they will fit it perfectly to me then. It's a corset so little adjusting should be needed. THEY? who is they? Or did you just come to an agreement that you…

Hey there! So do we all have the same goal? Or can I set a goal of mine own by Jan1? I have lost nearly 70 lbs so I don't lose nearly as quickly as I used to. I would rather shoot for 10 lbs by Jan1 and would be UBER lucky if i get anywhere near that. I joined the group last week so I am just getting back into the routine…

Do we weigh in today??

This is the day my good friend is getting married! They got engaged min Oct. :-D Lots to do.

lol may as well be!
