Crumpet Newton Nacho Senor Taco Queso I do like Rico a lot, though. Heidi

Hello ladies! I'm looking for a recipe that can be prepared ahead and either refrigerated or frozen for 12 adults - something italian like baked ziti/lasagna, etc. We are going to Put-In-Bay, OH, next weekend for our "adults weekend" away -- it is always SUCH a blast...no kids, laying by...

Thanks for the responses - as far as food triggers, I've not had ANY aspartame since 1/1 (yep, no diet coke!), eat no MSG, no HFCS or nitrates/nitrates...do you know how hard it is to find food without one or more of those ingredients? Terrible!x( I ended up going to the dr. today because I...

Shayne -- Yes, wistful is the word. Regarding seeing those runners, I SO wanted to yell out the window "you don't know how lucky you are!" Since then, I've never taken for granted my health. Sometimes you don't know how lucky you are until your health is taken away - let alone...

I know there have been threads in the past regarding migraines, but if anyone can post any meds that have been helpful, I'd appreciate it. I'm on BCP (yaz) and right before I finish the last pill prior to the placebos, it's like clockwork that I get a migraine. I mean VICIOUS migraine. But...

Wow, Shayne, kudos to you for getting back to those workouts! I'm sorry you've had such digestive woes. I can sympathize as several years ago I had a "botched" c-section and subsequent abdominal abscess, intestinal surgery....it sucked! I remember feeling so damn sick and then sick of being...

Interesting thread...the "people soup" image disgusts me, but made me laugh out loud about the celery and carrots! At our YMCA, it's usually the older ladies who have no modesty. It's actually kind of cute - they stand around naked and slowly getting dressed after their swimming class just...

Another foam roller lover here.... How often are you foam rollers doing this? Twice daily? Only before running/workouts - only after? Both? Heidi

Watch out - you'll get hooked, that's all I have to say ;) Congrats - my only advice is on running through a vineyard is........... NO WHINING, lol (pun fully intended...) Heidi

I've dealt with ITBS on and off for a couple of years. I can't do very long distances - nothing over 3-5 miles which is ok with me. As long as I can get in my 5k's! My pain is absolutely always on the lateral (outside) surface of my knee. Usually it starts at about the 2 mile mark and you...

Thanks for posting the link, Kathryn. I downloaded the 8k workout since I'm not really a beginner but trying to increase my stamina/endurance. We'll see! Thanks, though -- it was super easy to download and get on my itunes! Heidi

DH and I use our Ipod nano 4g and absolutely LOVE it. DS bought the 3rd Gen. Ipod "fatty" and it's very nice - smaller, compact, but larger screen. Very good graphics. We use our IPods ALL the time - I don't go without it when exercising. Heidi

Awww, what sweeties, and they love their mom...I'm close behind you with one going into 5th grade and one into 7th. It does go so fast, doesn't it? Now I realize that what everyone said was true when my babies were born - "enjoy it - it flies by...". I absolutely LOVE this age with my boys...

THanks everyone, and Happy Anniversary to all those who posted about their June anniversaries - busy month! We had a wonderful day and ended with a wonderful "newlywed" kind of evening:o Heidi

Our anniversary is today, and honestly I don't know where the 15 years have gone. We've had our ups and downs, but honestly I'm married to the sweetest, funniest man! He got us Sheryl Crow concert tickets! I'm psyched! It's kind of funny - we were at a baseball game the other night and...
