    School Fundraisers: Enough food!

    I am a teacher and live in a high poverty area in MI. We have been discouraged from doing any fundraisers at all. We don't do any that I can think of. How can you ask so many people living in poverty to do that? The products sold are the last thing on my mind. Our social worker today just...

    Running obstacle (AGAIN with the running!!)

    Hi Stephanie, I understand your fears about the first race. I have been a runner since I was 18 and now I am 34, almost 35. I can guarantee that the other runners on the course could care less about what you look like. In my experience runners are the most non-judgemental people I have...

    Article left in my mail slot....

    I bet they meant no malice. They probably were just reading a magazine and saw an article about running and thought of you. Last year someone put a Running Times magazine in my mailbox at work with the address label torn off. There are a lot of runners/fit people where I work. I just...

    Chain restaurants you like (or don't)...

    My DH and I have only been to Outback for their Sashimi (SP?) Tuna appetizer and that's it. We avoid big box restaurants because it is never good. We are lucky enough to live near Traverse City, MI, which is a trendy city with lots of great places to eat. My DH and I worked at Red Lobster...

    Has anyone tried Margarita Activewear?

    Those are some wild designs! I wear Patagonia. It is kind of expensive, but I always look at the web specials section on their website and find things. It lasts forever and I believe that most of their clothes are made out of recycled materials.

    Disturbed and upset

    This all makes me so upset. The animals, the people who can't do their jobs. I am so sad about it. I have not even turned on the tv tonight. I don't want to know, just because I am so helpless in this terrible situation. Please, make it stop hurting our planet!

    My posts were deleted and I was threatened to be banned from the forum!

    This is ridiculous. Erica, if you are so hurt, just stop coming here and don't buy Cathe's products! It is a simple fix to your problem. I am an expert in child behavior and this is just attention getting at the adult level. Just stop! What good are you doing for yourself or anyone else...

    Has anyone ordered dvds from the Tonique website?

    Thanks for responding. I got an email last night that we should get it today. I like that she replied so promptly. It sounds like I will have to get the dvd for myself now. ;)

    Has anyone ordered dvds from the Tonique website?

    Hi, I had not heard of these workouts, but my friend has and was telling me about it. I found the Tonique website and ordered her the first dvd in the series. I have not received a shipping notice, but my CC was charged on 4/5. What state do they ship from? Did anyone here order directly...

    Wow! You did something amazing.....I am proud of you! Alcoholism/drug abuse holds on very tightly, it is hard to let it go. It is a change in brain chemistry really.....no wonder. Keep enjoying every sober day you have!

    Not such a Happy Easter...

    Oh my....you are not in a good place. I grew up in a very dysfuctional (sp?) family. I had to let them go. That may seem inappropriate to many, but just because we are related means nothing to me. I know who my family is....they are my friends. Good luck to you. I have no desire to see my...

    This makes me sick!

    Janie1234, I wrote my post after a long day, and no, you were not blaming ALL teachers. IA that the media is saying the school officials knew, and that is not okay. Your point about the cultural difference with the parents is a good one. Thanks for the nice words. How I do my job is...

    This makes me sick!

    I am a teacher. Do not accuse ALL of us of neglect to the bullying problem. I was bullied, apparently many of us were. It is not acceptable. We are reqiured to teach a social skills program on top of the content we have to cover. It does not work. I have 27 students under my watch. Kids...

    Had to hire a dog behaviorist.

    Gayle: Watching the dogs point is so cool. My husband is in the fishing/guide industry and has taken men hunting who misuse the shock collars with their dogs. It is absolutely disgusting behavior. With Beagles....we just could not take it anymore. They like to roam and there have been many...
