  • The eliptical is easier on my joints. An added bonus is that I can speed up my pace on an eliptical easier than a treadmill. Makes interval exercises much easier. IMO, you can also burn more calories with your arms moving more especially if you can control the resistance on the arms. **I prefer the treadmill when doing a…
  • exactly. I also hate the "you're not a snowflake!" uh...scuze me? yeah I effing am. No one body responds the same as the next! For most of my life I had a high metabolism... that changed after I hit 30! I also started craving more carbs among other things. My energy also dropped quite a bit. Some people sweat much more…
  • Honestly, you don't need to do anything unethical in getting a swan to relocate. Truly, you do not. Secondly, many swans migrate.. have they migrated toward you, is it a pit stop, or do they permanently reside near you? Introduce a swan scarecrow of sorts, a mock predator, among other devices. Swans can be vicious, so…
  • When I was in 11th grade I started coming out of my shell more and meeting more people. Well this boy asked me out on a date after sending me a V'day card for the class project. (you had to make one for someone) so of course I said yes. I didn't know him very well but it seemed like a good time, he was taking me to the…
  • To look really great at the Christmas party. Only to find out I have to walk kinda far to get there! we're usually dropped off at the front door. Not this year! After party? a block away. In IL. ftw! Told my husband I'm SO not wearing a skirt!
  • While you might Love working out, you're killing your body. Especially if you are targeting the same sets of muscles every day.
  • My doctor just asked for my history, he looked at my throat and scheduled the surgery.
  • They just say it. I got my tubes tied there when I was 23. and I doubt they were able to find some loophole in the last 15 years or so.. it's more of an ethics question. They do make it very difficult, though! Thankfully I asked my doctor about it soon enough. You have to sign paper work 6 months out, 3 months out, and…
  • Are you married? Is there any health risks if you happen to get pregnant? Would you have a "high risk pregnancy" due to existing health issues? I would say if you're single, wait. If you'd have a high risk pregnancy, go ahead and fix it. I had kid #2 at 23 and had a tubaligation the next day. It was a high risk pregnancy…
  • Sometimes you need to push it, I know I did! The school is obligated to provide for it. Also, can't your dr just call out for a referel? seems really weird that the fam dr. would want to see him (again)!
  • feel free to inbox me if you want more details on how the surgery and recovery feels
  • They do take tonsils out, I had mine out last month and I'm pushing 40. Do it while he's younger. Think ice picking stabbing at your ear, that is how it feels. This has plagued me for many many years and for the last ten years I've had upper respiratory infections and the last 5 years strep -at least once a year- if you've…
  • Husband took me to see a pelican brief and then to TGIfridays where the food wasn't so good. I have a bad streak with birthdays!
  • This, and it might not even be your weight. Things that are unattractive to women; obvious lack of confidence mumbling and stumbling through whatever you're saying to them. poor posture and negative body language not dressing for the occasion properly Sloppy appearance I have seen men and women with a fabulous body and…
  • There are many great tattoo artists out there that will design something specifically for you. Also, there are other types of ink designs out there that look different than the typical inks you see. some are much brighter. I like this style as well.
  • Yes, because an etchasketch or book is so much more educational than a tablet. :ohwell:
  • please don't be a cookie cutter mom. What's good for your child doesn't mean it's good for mine.
  • Actually... they're not. A nook runs you about 60-120$$ a kindle, you can get for 70-180$ a kid's book can cost anywhere between 1-5$ at a young age. 5 seuss books can cost you $23+ (starting at the used price) The judy blume Fudge collection can run you about $15+ (again, used) Nook books are typically 1-2$ + cheaper. My…
  • This. I would write it in Red on the white board. As for props, I would make a picture of a McD's meal for 2, an Applebee's meal for 2 and a healthy home made meal for 2 and then on top write the $$ and on the bottom the amount of fat cals. 2 would work as well. Make sure these pictures are colorful. If you want to do an…
  • And that's just the alcohol! If you don't drink diet sodas with it, it can add an extra 100+!
  • Parents can stop that. Just don't allow them on forums or games with forums until they're much older and even then monitor they're stuff. My daughter's fb account goes through one of my e-mail addresses, so I know what she's up to. The info is out there, parents are just lazy
  • Yup. The internet is tricky. I get banner ads. For websites that I shop at or ads for local places when I map search. You can thank google
  • Ouch! My daughter's team is headed to nationals, so I'm loading up the SUV with donations before I drive up Sunday. You guys got it really bad! Hope recovery isn't too bad! *we lucked out, but the trees we still full of leaves and our property is bordered by oak and other fun leaft mature trees. 3ft tall, 4 ft deep wall…
  • You didn't really take that seriously, did you?
  • Grilled lean beef, I say go for it!
  • I always read them to see how absurd/rude he gets... And the comments that follow, haha
  • We owned the very 1st hand held interchangeable video game. I was in 3rd grade and it was sooo awesome. We played that thing to death! Unfortunately it wasn't a huge success due to the cost, so most people haven't even heard of it. The game boy wasn't the 1st. It had baseball, blockbuster and a pinball game. Super fun! My…
  • National Lampoon's summer vacation. They wouldn't have gotten lost, end up with a shoddy hotel room and would have known the park was closed. The movie grand Canyon, they wouldn't have gotten lost in the ghetto. The movie set in Los Angeles, ghetto hs math class? It would have been easier for them to pass math. I got…
  • My husband has more of these tools than most and his speech and writing skills are impeccable. How people use speech and writing isn't a reflection of the tool, but rather their laziness. You shouldn't allow lazy people influence when to educate your children in technology. It's not a choice on if, just when, and it's…
  • We live in PA and ended up with a *kitten* load of leaves every where and quite a few branches. I told my daughter she needed to get a move on it and she whined about it. So I dragged her whining @ss to the computer and showed her pics of Jersey and nyc, she stopped talking and got to work.
