Spinning Question - Scared - No beginner class...
Hi all, I searched spinning on here and saw that others have felt intimidated like me and eventually grew to love it, additionally I saw there were instructors who post here so I thought I'd get some advice.

Bought new shoes - folks with wide feet.....
:grumble: Okay, truth be said, since I have been working out my cardio in the gym quite sporadically until right before the first of the year, I had not updated my shoes.

Tropicana Light Orangeade Sugar Free
I bought this on sale at Winn Dixie the other day, in a 2 liter bottle like soda but it isn't carbonated. Zero calories, no sugar, tastes great - I see it does have sodium (70) so I guess that's not so hot but it's a nice change over the endless amout of Crystal light I drink.

Dang mangos!!!! Help!
Hi all, Our mango tree is WAYYY out of control thus far this year. I have actually been bagging them up and giving to all my neighbors (which they love) but my tree is paying me back for not producing much since Hurricane Wilma in 2005 and the bit** is dropping at least two publix bags a day - not even busting -RIPE! So,…

Freezing soup....question
I made a batch of Bear Creek soup the other day and being that we're not eating like we used to - I don't want to chuck it so I was thinking of freezing it as I've heard some on hear say they do. I don't have enough bowls with lids to freeze, would measuring it into a freezer bag be acceptable?

Mens body groomer.....tmi - if you think so don't look! lol
Hi all, my bf has always used a hair shaver/electric comber for his body hair (back in the day he had long hair so saying it worked for his head would be a moot point - lol) but he'd had a problem, or rather I did with his shaver attempting to make him an "older guy" mohawk.......:laugh: cause the shaver was DONE. We…

Closet.............went there today...........whew!
Okay, this is a success to me as I have been avoiding my closet for probably coming upon a year or two now.

Today I braved it and found clothes from size 6 up to…

Made the muffins from recipes...forgot the brown sugar!
Okay, I feel like a moron that I forgot the Splenda brown sugar mix that I specifically bought for baking. Put the dang muffins in without any sugar, I sprinkled some on top since it was too late, think that will make a difference? Maybe they won't need it at all, but wondering if some of you forgo the sugar…
