Yes, and if he had read to the end of the article, he would have found another quote where the authors stated that for children of both sexes, some play with toys that were moderately gender-typed was probably best (ie, both boys and girls should be exposed to both domestic toys as well as construction-type toys)...

Wow, did you even read the study that you posted as your 'proof'???? I seriously doubt it. All this 'study' did was ask a bunch of undergraduate psychology students to rate a bunch of toys as to whether they thought the toys were masculine, feminine, or gender-neutral. There is absolutely NOTHING in this study linking…

1. More times than I can count 2. It's always been the less conventional road less traveled... 3. As I've gotten older, I've realized there's no such thing as a 'right' and 'wrong' choice, just choices that lead to different paths. Even the most blatantly 'wrong' choice can eventually lead to a path of incomparable beauty…

Wow, what an inspiring guy.

Run one for me!

Thanks!

Love it - what a great game!

Sorry to tell you but bones do come in different sizes, and this is what determines frame size. Bone 'size' or frame size is usually determined by measuring wrist size, because this is the area of the body with the least amount of fat coverage, so the bone size can be most accurately measured. Have you ever seen a…

Just got back from a meeting in NYC - did surprisingly well this time - there just wasn't a lot of tempting food around. Won't be so lucky next weekend in Chicago - the last meeting that I went to for this particular company was a complete food fest. So, planning to try to squeeze in as much exercise as I possibly can this…

Finally feeling back to normal today, but energy was still low - I did get 20 minutes in on the bike, may try to go for a run tomorrow - woohoo! And the scale was still down this morning - double woohoo!

@korkster - congrats on your progress - that's wonderful! As for tarining for the climb, why don't you tackle it with something like a c25k program or a marathon training program for running? ie, find a flight of stairs that you can use, and basically do intervals - climb X flights, then walk for a minute or two on the…

@azsuzi - congrats on the promotion - that's fantastic! As for me, today was a completely lazy day - I did get a few things accomplished, but spent the evening on the couch in front of the tv... a little over on food, but nothing a workout wouldn't fix... but it's 9:30, so it will have to wait until tomorrow :-)

Hi Everyone, I've been MIA for the last several weeks, wayyyyyyyy toooooo much work (I'm self-employed, and it's taken me awhile to learn that saying no to clients is ok), but I'm trying to get back on track. I've maintained through the craziness, so I guess that's a victory of sorts, but I really want to get rid of this…

Sounds like you actually know the answer - you say your eating could be better, so eat better. Exercise alone won't lead to weight loss - you really can't outrun a bad diet. And if you go back to your old eating habits, you will gain the weight back - that's what led to the problem in the first place. So, eat better. Quite…

Interesting article - thanks for posting!

Sorry, didn't get to post yesterday, but 5 miles for Andy from me (2 running, 3 biking)!

Ugghh, my weight is going the wrong way... for the past two weeks I've been doing nothing but working day and night, and my only breaks have been to go out for restaurant week dinners (not as bad as they sound, it's the bread basket that does the most damage) - I was maintaining pretty well and not gaining more since my…

Keep us updated on how the stroller works - I have one cat who would love to go outside, but the one time I tried him on a leash, he slipped out of it - luckily I caught him (he's declawed - adopted from a recue that way so I can't take chances with him), but he tries to escape out the door and loves the balcony, so I…

I walked out of my apartment gym one night and the path was pretty dark - all of a sudden something furry starting whirling around like a tasmanian devil between my feet - I screamed and tried to jump out of the way, but it was all tangled up with my legs - finally got ourselves untangled and discovered it was a racoon -…

I wasn't planning to run tomorrow, but I will for Andy - I remember how I felt when my Freddie passed and I wanted to do something to honor his memory. Will have some biking miles too. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Pointedly stare at them when THEY make a trip to the vending machine :-)

Hi Everyone! Sorry I have been MIA from the common room - I am still swamped with work and I have an article that is overdue that I have complete writers block on - haven't been as good with food and exercise as I would like to be - hopefully another week or two of insane hours and I'll be able to get back to a more…
