Thank you Tracy for posting this! I had the same problem and it was driving me NUTS!! Deb, your solution worked! Thanks so much! --J :)

We got our second Lab this past July. Our first dog, Jake (who I call my first born) was 10 at the time (he's almost 11 now). The puppy, Cooper (who is now 9 months) drove and continues to drive Jake nuts. It's really annoying. Cooper wants to play and is instinctively doing what puppies would...

Ahhhhhh I'm in VA too. Trying not to get my hopes up because as you know this winter has been so lame. At 5:30 tonight I saw a plow truck drive by. They are going to be prepared for this one I think. :( We'll see!!!

You know what? I TOTALLY appreciate you posting about your binge and how many cals you estimated you ate that day. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one out there who has days like that. I've been there with the 4,000 cal thing. It is such a horrible feeling. Rationally it seems like we should...

I wish I had the SpongeBob song in my head. Instead I have the damn Wow, Wow Wubbzy song (a show for little ones). I can't get the thing out of my head for DAYS now. UUUGGGHHH!!!!

Hang on. Before you throw out all your jarred pb, read what the FDA has said. Two similar quotes from head of FDA food safety: "As of now, there is no indication that the major national name-brand jars of peanut butter sold in retails stores are linked to the recall," Sundlof told...

Hi Laura, I think it's good that you posted this. I'm sorry about the diagnosis. What I wanted to tell you is that my husband just last month (at 39) found out he had a basal cell carcinoma on the very top of his head. For a few years now he'd get a scab like thing and pick at it and it'd go...

You guys are awesome!! Thanks so much for the recommendations!! DH's iPod broke, so he's commandeered mine since I really wasn't using it. Figures, now I need it. :) Maybe I'll go old school and break out my cd player and get the stocking deal for myself, and then I can order some downloadable...

Hi There, After always seeing how much everyone loves CC, I think it's time to delve in. I'm wondering what you'd all recommed for: 1.) Myself. I'm recovering from a sprained ankle and have to limit my cardio to walking, bike, and elliptical (if I can tolerate it). Not sure if I can do...

I don't post much but I have to chime in and say that Debbie's posts, rotations, etc. are AWESOME!! Seriously, Debbie if you read this thread, please know that you are loved!!!! Thank you!!!! --Jennifer :)

Suzanne, I have it too and have found that the only thing that really works for me is to use hand warmers (the little packs that you take out of their plastic package and shake -- and then they become warm for many, many hours). I buy a big box of them at Costco. They also have toe warmer ones...

Laura, I was just thinking this today!!! How weird. I was at Barnes & Noble and there was a bunch of stuff that looked like it was for back to school with skulls. It looked like feminine stuff and the background was kind of pretty, but there were tons of these skulls. I personally don't get it...

Hi Again, I just laughed about the baby monitor because I had the video monitor I usually keep in my son's room staring at our pup the first week!! It really was cute to look at him once he had fallen asleep.

Wow! Thanks Everyone! OK, I really feel the need to address the "bulk" thing. Two years ago (prior to various injuries) I was super cut. At the time I couldn't appreciate it and always wanted more. Now because of so many over use exericse injuries, I have lost some of the look I had. I...

OMG! I have a 10 week old yellow Lab too!!! This is my first experience with a puppy, but DH had our other Lab (who is 10) as a puppy. The first few nights were really rough. We got him at 7 weeks old. He cried and cried in his crate for what felt like hours. I was so distraught and wanted...
