You can hate me if you like, but Wasa crackers suck =(
I bought some of these this weekend, along with Babybel Lights because I have been hearing about this combo almost as much as I hear about how wonderful hummus is (and I love hummus). I think I got the Fiber Rye. Sooo not impressed. As I opened them, I thought they looked just like cardboard, but this didn't bother me…

Speedometer for your Stroller
http://www.strollometer.com/welcometostrollo.html Disclaimer: I have no idea about this device. Ran across the website, never knew such a thing existed before. Thought I'd post since so many people ask about calories burned with a stroller. It appears this thing will tell you average speed and time, so maybe you could list…

A Perfect Employee
1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4pm and then bring it in to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing. 2. If it’s a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how I am doing. That helps. Or even better, hover behind me, advising my every keystroke. 3. Always leave without…

Geocachers beware -- I saw this "bomb" detonated yesterday!
I know there were a lot of people on MFP last summer and fall who geocached. Wanted to share this news article with you, as I saw the "suspicious item" being detonated by the bomb squad yesterday from my perch across the street 11 stores up. (So cool to see, btw.) If you cache, be cautious where you put your items! :laugh:…

Hot or Not: Michelle Obama's Gown
Okay, politics aside. This is NOTHING political. Don't bring politics in here. I'm talking FASHION. What did you think of Michelle Obama's gown worn to the Inaugural Ball? Hot or Not? NOT! I thought this dress looked like something I could sew together.... and I don't sew. The shoulder sash was boxy, the bodice was well…

Does a mom carrying octuplets need to eat more?
Q: Does a mom carrying octuplets need to eat more? A. "We recommend 300 extra calories per baby," Airoldi said, adding though that with eight babies, the extra calorie intake would not be feasible (multiply 300 by 8 ... 2,400 extra calories). "They can't because their bellies are so big. So usually it amounts to trying to…

Would scar tissue hurt after working out???
I found a mass in my abdomen, my doctor thinks it's scar tissue. It's on my lower right side, at the end of my scar from a c-section. 'Bout golf ball size. After running, it aches. Kinda throbbing aching. Anyone who has scar tissue.... is this common? (My c-section was August 2005.... 3.5 year ago.)

Asthmatics Unite!!! (and wheeze with me)
:grumble: I've been off my daily asthma meds (singulair, advair, claritin supplemented with albuterol rescue inhaler) since September 2007. Since then, I have used my inhaler once. Maybe. Out of the blue, I started wheezing lightly two or three days ago. I did the asthmatic thing-- and tried to ignore it. Although my…

Movie question, circa 1960...
I played the song "Whatever Lola Wants" by Ella Fitzgerald earlier today. She smiled and said it reminded her of a movie she watched when she was around 4 years old (circa 1960), give or take a year. The movie featured Tony Curtis, who was an athlete who sold his soul to the devil in exchange for more skill, or something…

My weight loss goal has been stolen =(
I started my weight loss journey a year and a half ago, handwriting my food journal. It's been a slow and arduous lifestyle change, although it seems a lot easier since I joined MFP at the end of June. While I still haven't met my goal weight, I am 40lbs of 67lbs to that goal. That is quite a bit of progress! I'm currently…

Ladies, I have a bra question...
The Question: How do you wash and dry your bras?? The background: I am busty, even after a reduction. I have a hard time finding bras and when I do, I obviously wear them until they are shapeless and worthless. I have a terrible tendency to only have one bra at a time (or at least one well-fitting bra), so it wears out…

About 15 minutes until I head out. YIKES:ohwell: Let's hope I don't fall down, screw up, pull a muscle, or (heaven forbid)…

Gas shortage frenzy in North Carolina!!!
I heard on the radio that there is going to be a gas shortage, thanks to Ike, and that the local gas stations are asking you to limit your consumption to 10 gallons of their now $4+ gasoline. I'll admit, I freaked a little bit. I have less than a quarter tank in my gas-guzzling Jeep. Called the hubby, told him to get his…
