    Boo Hiss: sweetened milk

    Sure you can buy a cow... But remember that you will need buy a bull and hope that they get busy, or... Of course because that's somewhat unreliable the typical way is to buy two bulls, have one mount the other (a female cow would not be able to withstand the repetitive mounting) to get...

    Thanksgiving Dilemma

    That's the kind of attitude we should all have! I'm going to my boyfriend's parents for Thanksgiving this year, and yet as someone following a vegan diet I'm not nervous at all! I'm bringing a few things that I can both share with others and enjoy myself: a sweet potato pecan casserole, a...

    Oh Boy!

    Slippery elm bark powder is great if you can find it. It's in the bulk section of my local health foods store. It forms a slimy mucous-y substance in water which coats the inside of the digestive tract. It will help with constipation, diarrhea, and general inflammation and digestive unease...

    Your Favorite Neutral Scented Lotion?

    I use Cetaphil. I know that it is a brand that is used in the hospice industry, as it is considered very gentle (and mine is fragrance free; not sure if the entire line is). I use it because it's very moisturizing and yet absorbs very fast, fast enough that I can put it on shortly before bed and...

    Plantar Fascitis

    One more thing, to get a little philosophical if I may. We are able to put so much devotion and dedication towards training i.e. improving our bodies. And it's fun :D And so it's so so hard for us to stop that training, and force ourselves to do nothing when it's time to rest. But if we're...

    Anyone try Jari Loves DVD's?

    Hi again from the PF thread! Not a lot to say about Jari Love, I have a couple of her dvds but don't do them anymore on account of my knees not liking squats and lunges and my elbows not liking overhead triceps dips. But that said what I didn't mention on the PF thread was that one of the...

    Finished the Hunger Games Trilogy- now what?

    I went through a lot of YA fiction after Hunger Games. A lot are easy to read but just okay. These are a couple I found memorable: The Forest of Hands & Teeth by Carrie Ryan Lament by Maggie Stiefvater I do hope that YA authors take note from Collins and get more books out that feature...
