"After a few years of leasing a vehicle and making payments, you own nothing." Actually, most people owe more than their vehicle is worth, which is worse than nothing, and regardless of how you finance a vehicle, excessive miles and wear will be penalized through lease penalties or trade...

Hi Allison, Sorry you're dealing with vehicle problems. We don't truly appreciate our mode of transportation until we no longer have it! My husband and I both lease vehicles and although I have heard all of the arguements against doing so, I'll give you my reasons: 1. At the end of your...

So a question for those of you who transitioned from power walking to running . . . When do the burning lungs and legs subside - and you are actually able to do more running than walking? I bought myself some decent running shoes and would really love to experience that "runner's high" that...

There is a nickel sized bump at the very back of my head - on my skull where the spine meets - it is a bony "malformation" of some sort. I guess when I was learning to walk as a baby, I tended to fall backwards instead of forwards . . . never been someone great on balance/coordination! My...

Packer fan all the way - I bleed green and gold! Mo

Milwaukee, Wisconsin and surrounding area around $2.89 . . . just got my new 2008 Mustang GT, so I'm visiting the gas station quite a bit lately. Seems I've developed a case of the lead foot! Mo

Funny you bring this up. A male coworker commented on my "paleness" just yesterday. I'm Irish for God's sake . . . I'm supposed to be pale! I'm not thrilled about the lack of pigment and I certainly don't use sunscreen the way I should, but it's the genetic hand I've been dealt, so I can...

That's where my error was . . . I thought it was Mapmyroute - no wonder I couldn't figure it out. Thanks much. Have a nice weekend. Mo

Has anyone ever used this to determine distance of a walk, bike or run? How do you navigate through it . . . not sure exactly how it works. Mo

Since my beloved Milwaukee Brewers tanked, and Cleveland just happened to play their home opener in Milwaukee due to inclement weather (which I went to), I am joyously rooting them to victory! Mo

The fact that the car is leased doesn't have any bearing on who can drive the vehicle. Insurance covers the vehicle regardless of the driver. If the primary driver of a vehicle changes, it is the owner's responsibility to inform the insurer as this has an impact on how your rates are...

MC The information you received is completely incorrect. Although I am in Wisconsin, I run two insurance accounts out of Maryland. We administer a medicaid plan called Helix Family Choice and we also administer a plan that covers cardiac care/joint replacement/organ transplants. You most...

Has anyone read Gerald's Game? Amazing how an entire novel can basically take place in one room . . . I'm surprised Hollywood didn't take a stab at that one! Mo

Not speaking from experience, but I do have knowledge to share. When they perform a hysterectomy, they can remove the uterus and the ovaries (complete) or just the uterus and leave the ovaries (partial). If they leave the ovaries, you will not experience the absence of hormones. If they...

Ok, just thought of another one . . . John Travolta - during his days on Welcome Back Kotter. I even had a Vinnie Babarino action figure. I wrote him a fan letter as a kid and never received anything back - I was crushed. My husband and I were exchanging stories about who we were infatuated...

Speed Racer did it for me . . . how silly. Must have been the start of my love for fast cars! Mo

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts . . . I will be more conscious of doing my thing "quietly". That seems to be the common denominator here. And truly, if I am excited about what I'm learning or doing - this is the perfect forum to share that. Thanks for lifting my spirits today, you...

A little bit of background . . . Married for 12 years and we have both lived a relatively unhealthy existence. We both work hard and like to enjoy ourselves on the weekends and whenever vacation time rolls around - lots of beer, food and friends. I've gone through spurts of exercising...

We're going to take in the shops/sites in Galena, IL . . . we lucked out on a family member's "vacation" home down there - so we're taking advantage of it! Mo

Dogs have sweat glands on the bottoms of their feet - coupled with natural micro-organisms that live on the surface of their pads - result in the "frito feet" syndrome . . . and any increase in moisture of the pads (wet weather, licking . . .) the smell is stronger. Crazy, isn't it? Mo
