Ford Freestar - NEED ADVICE. not diet-related.
I'm vehicle-shopping and found this AWESOME 2004 Ford Freestar SEL Van with ALL the bells and whistles and only 64k miles on it. The initial issue I see doing review searches online is transmission problems. Anybody owned a 2004 freestar and have an opinion on them? Thanks so much for any input!

Now, I'm a stickler for making 95% of my diet whole, clean foods, with as much organic as possible and, although I can't find a…

ATTENTION DOG OWNERS!!!
So yesterday I went for a walk with my husband and a teenage boy from church who was over at our house for the afternoon. As we walked, we passed a couple white english bulldogs - a boy who I'd seen before and not had a problem with and a girl who obviously had given birth recently who I had not seen before. We said "hello…

Need your ideas PLEASE! :D
So we're planning on having some friends over after church tomorrow and have been so focused on getting all our decorations up that I haven't planned what we're having to eat. I'm thinking something in the crockpot so it could be ready as soon as we get in from worship. What are your best ideas for "company-worthy" food…

GREEN LENTILS
So... a year or so ago I bought this bag of organic green lentils and thus far they've swung around my lazy susan several hundred times, been picked up a few times, but honestly, I have no idea what to do with them.

Whoops.....
So people have expressed to me before that they were "intimidated" by my food diary... at how "clean" I eat with my whole foods and organic and perfectly in calorie range, only missing logging on the days I was out of town camping without internet... well... not so much today. :frown: I went ahead and logged everything…

I WANNA READ YOUR DIARY!!!!
:laugh: So... just an idea... but I really like it when people make their food and exercise diaries viewable to at least their "friends" on here. I first set mine to private, but it's actually really helpful to see what other people are doing and get ideas. So I changed mine to let friends see... maybe I'll just completely…

Iron? Input needed
So I was looking at a few reports today and noticed I'm typically eating about 40% of RDA for Iron. That doesn't seem good. What are good sources of iron? And don't tell me fried chicken livers because that ain't happening. Yuck! :sick: :laugh: Thanks!

While low in calories, I'm consuming a RIDICULOUS amount of sodium!…
