Oh my. What a shock! I'm just on my way to the gym to do CC #3. How sad. He was awesome.

I saw it in NYC last November and it was SOOO FUN!! As soon as I left the theatre I couldn't help thinking, when can I see it again? There was no way to sit through that show without getting up and dancing! Love it.

I agree with the posters who wrote it is up to her to get that "aha" moment where she decides she wants to do something about her health and weight. My daughter gained some weight due to a thyroid issue but once she got that under control she did not lose weight right away. I tried to give her...

I had a Meridian IUD inserted about 18 months ago and I could not be happier with it. It is good for five years (I'm pretty sure).

Here's another vote for IUD. I'm 47 and had to stop bc pills about 15 months ago. Dr. recommended Meridian IUD. I've had one or two periods since then; none for the last year. I love it.

So adorable. The boy did a great acting job considering he had to convey his emotions without using his face. His body language was spot on.

I eat oatmeal every weekday because I prepare it the night before and then heat it up when I get to work. Lunch is pretty much the same too. I roast a bunch of beets on the weekend, peel them, cut them up, put a little vinegar and salt and pepper. During the week I put mixed greens in a...

Suck it up!!!

It's still snowing here in Vermont. I'm not even going to attempt to go out today.

GRRRR!!! I'm married but I were single, I would not even consider dating a man who did not share my core politically beliefs. I'm not saying total agreement is necessary (Lord knows, DH and I have our share of heated political debates) but politics are too important to me to waste my time...

I tore my acl in my late 20's skiing downhill. I lived with it for about 8 years. Sometimes I could work out fine and other times I was limping along. I finally had surgery to replace the acl and it is perfect now. No problem whatsoever. Good luck.

My feet used to go numb all the time when I ran. I went to a specialty shop and had my running shoes properly fitted and I realized I was buying shoes too small. I wear a 6 1/2 normally but in workout shoes I need a 7 1/2. Go figure. It solved the problem though.

I found my stylist by asking someone whose hair I liked where she got hers done. I really love my stylist and would be heartbroken to lose her. I've started carrying her cards with my because people always ask me where I get my hair done. I give my stylist all the credit because I don't have...

I find that if I eat something with good fats I'll stay full longer. A big salad that includes avocado seems to do the trick. I happened to notice this morning that I ate two eggs and a slice of toast and I was starving by lunchtime. Yesterday I had a bowl of oatmeal and raisins cooked in...

I would be furious. Honestly, I can't even imagine that. My husband won't even retrieve something from my purse when I ask him to because he thinks he is violating my privacy; he'll just bring me my purse for me to get whatever I want. It seems to me there is something deeper going on here...
