Pixie, I have been looking to get this. Have you actually read it or planning to? I'll add my own, The Great Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast...

Hi All: I've just finished this. I really like his ideas and recipes but am curious if any of you have done this for health/clean eating as opposed to straight weight loss? I don't need to lose weight (I'm happy with my body - yay! Finally!) and certainly don't want to lose my muscle tone...

Oh my gosh Wendy, how scary for you!! My good thoughts to you and yours.... Sparrow My garden is filled with papayas and mangos My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos Taste for the good life, I can live it no other way - Jimmy Buffett

Having been there, I'd add that at some point you have to get past yourself and just do it, you know? Behave your way to success so to speak. I used a lot of self-talk when DH and first got together. I'd tell myself, "yeah, it's scary, hard, uncomfortable...but so what?" I always focused on...

Just wanted to recommend this documentary. DH and I got in the mail from Greencine and watched it last night. While I won't comment on the content - one DVD doesn't make me an expert on the topic! - I can say that it was really really interesting, and a good watch. Sparrow My garden is...

ooo, Charlotte, good question. I'd say mine is "Don't worry, be happy." I'm determined to lick anxiety this year, and enjoy things as they come. Sparrow My garden is filled with papayas and mangos My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos Taste for the good life, I can live it no...

RE: Inspired by an ongoing thread - when it comes to pa... So many moms/dads taking joy in their kids, even through the hard times! I know alot of people who do nothing but b***h about the kids, so it's really nice to read :) Taking my non-mommy self out of the thread now.... :D Sparrow...

Sounds like everyone got some nice stuff. DH usually isn't the best gift giver but this year he out did himself! He got me a beautiful rocker for our farmer's porch, an MP3 player, two gorgeous folk art paintings and a vintage "dairy" sign for the kitchen. I guess I was v. good this year...

RE: How do you tell your husband you may NEVER want kid... Janice, I want to thank you for starting this thread! Sometimes I feel like DH and I are the only child-free by choice people on the planet. The responses have made me know otherwise! I think your reasons are pretty common in the...

RE: How do you tell your husband you may NEVER want kid... Janice, Do you know specifically your reasons for leaning away from having children? Knowing your own mind on it may help in talking to your DH. Like some of the other posters I never wanted kids. Never had the desire, despite...

Janice, <<hugs>> to you, first and foremost. Second, have the chat with your DH as soon as possible. Just tell him you are completely unsure abour starting a family and don't know that you ever want to be a mom. You may find that he has the same thoughts. When I told DH I didn't want...

RE: My Passion Heather, your words are always so beautiful. :) Personally, I am going to land with Nancy et al on this one. Honestly I had never heard of sending cards to people who were not celebrating that particular holiday. When I send cards to my Jewish and Muslim friends, it's to say...

I think part of the issue people have with "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" is because for some reason the word Christmas has become un-PC and there are those of us who have grown tired of it. For me, I always said "Happy Holidays" until the last couple of years, when I grew tired...
