may I join? I would love to join this group. I am always looking for mor spirit filled things to add to my life. I am an occasional lurker but would love to be more active with you gals. My first question is if any of you use/know of any Christian meditation CD's. Thanks for any help and God...

Any suggestions on good places to raise a family in Portland Oregon? DH and I are 43 y/o with 4 boys ages 14 (freshman in H.S.), 12 (7th grade), 10 (3rd grade) and 7 (1st grade). We all love to exercise and the outdoors. Looking for good schools and price range around 400,000 or so. I have...

I ran a 5k with my four boys over this past weekend. They are 13, 12, 9 and 6. I was the last one in my family to cross the finish line at 33:26. My youngest ran his first 5k when he was 5 years and a couple of months old. He beat me then too. I kept telling him to slow down. When we got...

Hey Coni, I am currently working on ACE certification. How long did it take you to pass the exam? I plan on getting the insurance through ACE. I am already training a couple of friends, but I am nervous about expanding until I am insured. Just isn't worth it. I don't mean to highjack your...

I think that is a fantastic idea about ignoring threads you disagree with. Why would I waist my time posting on stuff I don't agree with? I'll follow the pact, especially since I post so often (anyone reading this right now is thinking--who the heck is she) Lauramax, you crack me up...

Hey Guys It was so great at 5:45 this morning in the dark and quiet of my basement knowing that there are other early morning exercisers doing the exact same thing I'm doing. Thanks for that! And ahhh yes, my four boys back in school and me back to a normal schedule. Then my middle...

This sounds fantastic. I will be getting up at 5:30 and working out from 6-7 EST. Thanks so much for starting this. Kathy

Michelle, I'm a physical therapist. Please go to another clinic. Once you have a prescription for P.T. you can go where you want (but make sure the clinic you choose is in your insurance network). It is important that you let your doctor know about your experience. That kind of treatment for...

Amy and Lisa, SOOO glad you posted. I just Googled Armour Thyriod and found some good info. www.about.thyroid.com helped. I could have written your post Amy. I will be calling my endocrinologist in the A.M. to see what he has to say. When I get more info I'll post it. Thank you so...

I'm so glad posters here are so nice even in the face of politics. I do agree with alot of what Bill posted in the article. Maybe it's my own guilt about having enough food to eat while others in this world are starving. Leave it to Bill to stir the pot:-)

I grew up with smoking parents. I wish there had been a law to protect me back then. And now that we know better about second hand smoke... why not? I do get the big brother side of this but how many times have you seen a tiny baby trapped in a car in the winter with the window barely cracked...

I have to laugh. Been here 10 years and I still spelled Cincinnati wrong in my post.What a dork.

We moved to Cincinnati 10 years ago from the suburbs of Chicago. I wanted to buy a house in Blue Ash but for the same price as a 25 year old house at about 2,000 sq. ft. I got a brand new house with a big back yard, a neighborhood pool and 3,000 sq. ft. in Anderson Township. The Forest...

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 new jog bras coming my way with no shipping charges to boot!

I've done it twice, but only for four days. I couldn't do the saltwater drinks or the cayenne pepper. I wasn't starving because the drinks kept me somewhat satisfied. It was a great way to get back to clean eating and regular exercise after falling off the wagon. Boy does it empty you out. I...
