Hello ladies! I'm looking for a recipe that can be prepared ahead and either refrigerated or frozen for 12 adults - something italian like baked ziti/lasagna, etc. We are going to Put-In-Bay, OH, next weekend for our "adults weekend" away -- it is always SUCH a blast...no kids, laying by...

I know there have been threads in the past regarding migraines, but if anyone can post any meds that have been helpful, I'd appreciate it. I'm on BCP (yaz) and right before I finish the last pill prior to the placebos, it's like clockwork that I get a migraine. I mean VICIOUS migraine. But...

Our anniversary is today, and honestly I don't know where the 15 years have gone. We've had our ups and downs, but honestly I'm married to the sweetest, funniest man! He got us Sheryl Crow concert tickets! I'm psyched! It's kind of funny - we were at a baseball game the other night and...

Hi everyone, I posted to another thread this am alluding to my PMS that have been horrible of late, and thought I'd get at least some "been there, done that"s so I don't feel like such a hag, lol. I've been on YAZ for a couple of years(which is supposed to alleviate PMS to a certain...

ignore - testing avatar thanks!

So, after everyone's advice to do more wt. lifting vs. cardio to decrease body fat (really, I'm not obsessing about this:o ), I'd really rather do this at home vs. at our YMCA. I have a barbell and hand weights and here are the cathe w/o's I have. Which would be best? Gym Style Legs...

Ok, so I'm over it (my 27% body fat, that is)...well, I'm not upset about it anymore, but I do want to know how to lose fat and not muscle. I would like to see that number go down but I know that I don't have much weight to lose. I could lose another 3-4 pounds but I get a bit gaunt looking...

Hi everyone, My DH's work (university) is doing health screening yearly and if you go and get screened for cholesterol/glucose/BMI/mental health you get $40/month off of your insurance premiums. Well, I think that's a great idea -- so we signed up, of course. I had my testing yesterday with...

Hello fellow runners! So, I'm hooked on these 5ks! Have run several the past 2 months and have improved my time from about 27 mins to 23:58 which I'm very pleased with. I've been placing 1st and 2nd in my age group which helps maintain the addiction, lol. Here's my question. My last two...

Wow, what a fun town. It's urban yet approachable -not daunting and overwhelming like NYC. We had such a blast. Took too tour buses full of total 80 parents/children. Those children were phenomenal. All of them did so well on all of the tours - they were so patient and respectful (wish I...

Yep, my first visit to the Windy City! Going tomorrow morning on a charter bus with my 10yo DS for a school field trip...can't say I'm super excited about a 5 hour bus ride loaded with 4th and 5th graders (can you say ear plugs? I think you can!) but we have a fun-packed schedule planned...

Good evening everyone... Has anyone here had any positive results from migraine meds? I've been really plagued with them over the years, and they seem to be worsening. They do appear to be hormonal -- really bad a few days prior to starting my period. I'm on BCP which I think helps the...

Hello wise ones! Ok, here's my dealio - tell me what you think of this situation: My sil and bil live about 3 hours away from us. Our kids do well together, and we really get along well when we are together, etc. However, their lifestyle is a bit different than ours in that they are...

I'm sold! The running bug has bitten dh for the last year and he finally got me to run a race with him last weekend. I've kind of been a recreational jogger/walker, but never took it too seriously. Well, last weekend we ran a 7k (in 13 degrees the day after the Ohio blizzard on snowy,icy...

Ok, I'm in Ohio under snow and bored to tears....so don't flame me because I'm addicted to this silly show..but I am! Any other AI hussies in here? :) Heidi

Does anyone have any advice for someone plagued with canker sores? I'm going to the dentist in a couple of weeks and am planning to ask them, but I am in so much pain. I know there is some hormonal components to their recurrence as well as stress (and genetics as my mother gets them as well)...

Hi everyone! My sons got Ipods for Christmas, and DH and I loved them so much we got ourselves the cool electric blue one! We have had so much fun loading our favorite music from CD's and from itunes. My question is this -- I know there are podcasts for running and prepping for 5k's and...

I haven't stepped in a few weeks. Not sure why - just got burned out. Needed a break from worrying about when to fit my workout in, obsessing about exercise, losing weight...does anyone ever just quit for a while? Don't get me wrong, I only lasted about 2 weeks with NO exercise because I...

As I was getting through B&G today (just the B portion), I realized as my legs were starting to quiver and give out that I'm in BIG trouble for the next two days. Do any of you do anything to help prevent the DOMS? Lots of fluids? Ibuprofen? Pray? :) I remember the very first time I ever...

Hi everyone, Since you all are so knowledgeable and helpful...I need some help! My third grader is doing a school project (ah, don't we just *love* school projects...) on a country and he got Vietnam. Part of his presentation needs in include some sort of visual -- either a clay model or...
