Searching
Have you been involved in any kind of search, be it for a birth parent, or child you gave up for adoption? What was the outcome?

Orange or Crimson?
No bashing or trash talk here (well, maybe a little lighthearted trash talk may be necessary from time to time), just curious where people stand. I BLEED ORANGE!!! Die Hard Cowboy, through thick and thin. Both hubby and I are alumni and staunch supporters. How 'bout you?

Mother's Day lunch
The whole crew is coming to my house. Mom, Dad, Sis, Sis's live-in, and the 4 kids, plus me and hubs. Mom is bringing homemade chicken and dumplings. Kids are the pickiest damn eaters ever. Suggestions, ideas on what else to make? I have a few ideas, but was hoping for more. Not too concerned about anything being uber…

Dealing with the anniversary of a death
One of my dear friends lost her teenage daughter last year to a senseless act of violence. Kayla was shot and killed one day after her high school graduation. The anniversary of her death is in 20 days. I want to do something for my friend, but am at a loss as to what. I suppose I'm posting this here to see if anyone has…

Push ups....HELP
Ok, so I suck at pushups. No really, I do. I tried doing the "100 pushup challenge" once and miserably failed. I've read so many different things about how to improve, but thought I would reach out to the masses and get some more/different feedback. (Though I'm sure it will just confuse me more) So, the main question is:…

Go Kaleo Condensed
This is an excerpt from "Go Kaleo" on Facebook. I might not always agree with everything she says and does, but I like this. Sharing because I like the simplicity of it. Eat the proper amount of *mostly* healthy whole foods. Calories matter. So does food quality. Don't starve yourself. Eat foods you enjoy. Get enough…

Mod free section
Just a thought...since apparently people's idea of what constitutes "chit chat" varies, is there a possibility of a mod-free section. You could even call it "Free For All". And to enter you must read the rules stating "no reporting allowed in this group"? I only ask b/c one person's idea of "bullying" or being mean is just…

A question about milk
Lately I have been having a protein shake every morning to help hit my protein macro. I tried using water, didn't like the taste, so I am using skim milk. I see a bunch of people using almond milk for things. Almond milk has less calories, but also less protein, so here is my question: Almond milk or skim/lowfat milk? What…

RLS aka the Jimmy Leg
I know this isn't diet/fitness related per se, but when you can't sleep it affects everything. And I can't sleep. I am so tired, my brain is exhausted, but my damn legs won't settle down at night. I have had problems with RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome), or as my husband likes to refer to it, the "Jimmy Leg", for years now. I…

Derp moments
Lifting is new to me, I just finished up my 3rd week of SL and this is really the first time I've ever tried anything like this. I had a really <sarcasm> awesome moment on Friday while lifting. Went to do my bench press. I had written down my SL numbers I needed to do that night. Did two warmups with 65# thinking my…

Apple Chicken Sausage
I found some ground chicken on sale last week so I bought it. Then thought, WTH do I do with this?? So I googled some recipes and found this one. First batch was decent so I bought more and made a second batch, tweaking it a bit. Turned out really great! 1 lb ground chicken 1 tart apple (I used Granny Smith) 3 tsp poultry…

Question about muscle soreness
This may sound dumb, but you can't know until you ask. The first week of doing SL my legs were so sore I practically needed assistance getting out of my chair. Now on my third week I rarely have any muscle soreness. I mean, I can tell I did something when stretch, but that's about it. So I guess my question is, is that…

Dirty Girls
Trying to come up with a team name for the Dirty Girl run. Me and 4 friends, all of whom I have known for 20+ years are running one in April. Though my bestie (rhondalynn3) and I are quite dirty minded, a couple of the others aren't, so I'm trying to keep it fairly clean. :( These are 4 ideas I had: Girls Gone Dirty (Or…

Snapper a la Veracruz
Hubs found this in Men's Health and I made it on Monday night. O-M-G....frelling awesome! I used fresh jalapenos from our garden, which proved to be almost too much heat, but still really good. I also cooked in oven instead of grill. 400 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. *I had already eaten almost half of mine before I…

What do men/women want?
I'm so tired of these d@mn threads. Why do you care what the populace at large wants? Why not focus on making yourself the happy one? Because in a nutshell the answer to this and all questions like it is CONFIDENCE.

Reaching out

Why does this need to be mentioned?
This is a dumb news story about Tom and Nicole's kids. But it bugs me because they just HAVE to say "their adopted son Connor". They can't just say "their son", they have to put a qualifier on it. You can look at him and know he isn't their biological son, so to what purpose is this needed? Yea, it's a dumb thing to be…

Warrior Dash 2012
http://warriordash.com/register2011_oklahoma.php# I did the one in September when it was in Tulsa. Fat, out of shape, finished in the bottom 100 of about 7000+ participants. Still one of the funnest things I have done! It's coming to Morris, OK in June this year. I'm going to try and improve my time/standings, though I'm…
