If you want to make a difference each
month you can give $30 a month to Worldvision and sponsor a child and also help the community the child lives in. They also have a way you can give gifts at Christmas with their catalog (which I did this past year made my family cry) where you give $13 for a wheelchair! OF course it is not a high tech wheelchair but one that works well for the child that needs it. I have been doing this since 2003 it is a blessing.
What difference does it make? --sm
it all comes clean in the wash anyway. Their bowls are not any dirtier than yours are, after having eaten off of them. just my opinion.
Neutering also make a difference
Not immediately, but over a little time, they seem to settle in to a more serene frame of mind.
Does it really make a difference regarding the death

What state you are in would make a big difference. sm
Maybe a local county health department? In my state, they do GYN exams for specific income brackets for free and then if over that bracket, it is based on your income.
Thank you Trose, so do I believe it will make a huge difference, NM

Chic Shaper really does make a difference.

Assuming your daughter is an adult, why make a difference?
a gift in return. If everyone is going to be together when gifts are exchanged, then I get them a little something, even if its a wal-mart gift card.

If they will not be there when you give your daughter and SIL a gift, then I guess you could skip them.

My true opinion is that adults, other than spouse and SO - do not need gifts. We do not buy the adult gifts in our family, but we have a big get together at our house and provide all the fixings and such, that is our gift.
It sort of does make a difference when they use it as a form of birth control...
just my opinion.
An exercise to try
Try putting one leg up across the other one and lean forward, leaning back and forth, then switch legs.  That is supposed to help with that sciatic nerve kind of thing.  Hope it helps you.  It does me.  Hope you feel better.

Have you got a dog?


I've got a 120 pound Great Pyrenees (kinda looks like a polar bear).  I run/walk with him a coupla times a day...before my 6 a.m.shift, lunch time, after my shift is usually the longest walk, then again before bedtime...We just wander around the woods....If he smells a squirrel fart and I'm not looking directly at him he'll trip me up or pull me in a ditch/sinkhole.  Also have a 12 lb cat that walks with us and tries to "sneak"  the dog (hides in the bushes and darts out sitcking his tongue out as if to say "Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah! You're on a string and I'm not!).   Keeps ya on your toesI    


It is cheap and quite a workout.  Cat


     


Get some exercise
It will help tremendously. I start to get tired if I go more than a day or two without running on my treadmill or hitting the weights at the gym. It will help tremendously. As someone else said, it might not be a bad idea to get your thyroid checked out.
Looking for music to exercise by - sm

I received an iTunes gift card for Christmas and am looking for music I can download to my iPod to exercise by.  I'd really like exercise-specific music that includes a slower song or two for the warmup, then a steady faster rhythm for 30 minutes or so and then another slower song for the cooldown.


I suppose I could create my own list, but it would take me way too long to figure out 30 minutes' worth of songs with the same basic rhythm!


Any help sure would be appreciated.  I'm so tired of feeling guilty every time I walk past the treadmill that I just "had" to have.


The exercise thing is probably right on...

I have had oodles of tests to rule out thyroid, anemia, and even Lupus and Lyme.  I did get something positive on the connective-tissue studies but never followed up on it because of financial issues and not feeling all that crappy to worry about it.  However, now that you mention it, I did feel better when I was walking down my road in the warmer weather, so that may be it!  I do get exercise doing chores, but it's a different kind of exercise...not the "me" kind I guess you could say.  I've got some DVD by Leslie Sansone that does a mile or 2 miles and I think I'll give it a go.  Can't hurt, right? 


Thank you so much for the advice!  Always helps to have a second set of eyes to look at something in a new way!  It's much appreciated!



exercise question
I am 48 years old, been sitting on my rear for years doing MT.  I have exercised for years, but always sporadically.  I don't need to lose weight, just need to tone.  I'm so flabby, it's disgusting.  I have recently taken up walking/jogging, but admit I can only jog for about a minute, then have to go back down to walking, then after I've caught my breath, can start jogging again, and so it goes until I've done 2 miles.  I'm hoping to build up my endurance to run farther soon.  My question is, is this really a good overall exercise to help me tone?  I'm also using free weights for my arms, and I can actually see a little bit of a change, but it's happening very slowly, which of course is to be expected as it took them a long time to become unconditioned.  Anybody have any advice?  Thanks! 
exercise question
Thank you very much!  I appreciate the tip.  
How much exercise have you had in the last 3 weeks?
The kind of exercise where your rib cage actually has to expand as far as it can go?

That kind of exercise causes relaxation, and relaxation is an antidote for anxiety attacks.

I was also helped by learning relaxation with biofeedback and I also take Effexor. Not everybody can take that though.
I sit on exercise ball .... sm

and I balance just fine with foot pedal.  I dont' sit here for eight hours on my ball.  Sometimes I switch out my chair and my ball.  Just depends on how my bottom is feeling.  I too sometimes sit with my leg folded under my other leg while working, but that's not good for your veins.  I have really bad vericose veins (that's another story!)


good luck!


You can but no one else can? Exercise those rights

exercise equipment.

Exercise tapes or CDs
Does anyone use any exercise tapes at home that they like? Thinking of getting one but there are so many. I need to tone.
I know diet and exercise are important as
well as cutting out sugars, bread, etc. I'm doing that and have been for a while.  Please keep your comments to yourself.  I'm asking a simple question about a "certain named product"- is it that difficult to answer without stating your "opinions" or telling me what supplement you use?  I don't remember asking for your recommendations?
Do strict low carb of 20 a day and exercise -
That weight will come off and you will be well on your way by August if you do cardio exercise and also do weightlifting. I lost 20 pounds on low carb 4 years ago and have kept it off, though I normally eat around 50 carbs a day now and NO refined carbs whatsoever. You have plenty of time. You can do it!!!
Poll time ....do you exercise? sm
I make sure that I walk at least 1 mile 3 times a week.  It's not as much as I should exercise but it beats nothing.  What about you?
you will not lose weight without exercise.

Exercise with him or sign him for karate or something like that. Needs to do

exercise helps tremendously
even bike riding on crisp days is a sure way to feel alive again.  On cloudy days it brightens my day.  I hope you find your outlet :)
Same one every year - exercise & eat healthier!

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this. Exercise. sm

Okay. I am overweight by about 30 pounds.  A week ago I got back on the treadmill and started walking/jogging for about 20-30 minutes - 5 days a week.  This is week 2. I'm very motivated.  Will get on the treadmill in a few minutes.  I'm not seeing any results.  haha  Don't laugh.  I know it's early, but here's my question and dilemma.  I have NO desire to change my eating habits. None. Zilch.  In fact, don't tell me I have to do it because I won't.  I don't eat a whole lot, I just eat whatever I want.  I don't eat late - not after 6, usually.  I do like an occasional Coke.  I like chocolate.  I otherwise eat healthy, but until Jan of this year I have done NOTHING in the way of exercise for years.  Just kept having kids and sitting on my bum.


When can I start seeing results and do you think that I can see results by working out this much and NOT changing my eating habits. It's a psychological thing.  I can't do it right now. I just can't.  And what makes it worse (the eating part) is when I fail (which is EVERY time) I beat myself up afterwards and feel worse than before.  With this jog/walking thing, I feel GREAT. I feel more energy already and I actually am enjoying the time alone doing it.


Anyone have experience with this?


They say "If your dog is fat, you're not getting enough exercise!" :) sm
I have a somewhat-tubby Border Collie and a normal Australian Shepherd. Aussies are "self-feeders", meaning they only eat when they're truly hungry, but the Border Collie would eat a cow if she could get her mitts on one. I need to get a handle on her diet, I know.

I walk them, but it's prolly not aerobic enough. We stagger down the street from bush to bush and I can see my neighbors shaking their heads, saying "He must drink, my dear. Oh, yass. Probably mops the stuff up. Why, just look at him stumbling around, right out in public! Poor Mrs. TechSupport - she must have the patience of a saint!"
Exercise really helps. At least an hour a day. Gets those

I thought it was very interesting. Quite an exercise for the mind:-)

Wouldn't the exercise of free will also include
his right to determine what is and what is not a "sin" for HIM? Is he also not free to determine that the relationship is irreversibly doomed because it got off on the wrong foot? Do you think a therapist can or should talk him out of that? Is that a better way to launch into part 2 of the affair?

It is possible, since he clearly stated it was "the hadest thing he ever did," that he is not and will not get past the pain it caused for both of them. Why does wanting a fresh start make him into a Mr. Milquetoast who needs therapy?

Bottom line here. If it's not right for HIM, then it's not right for THEM.

Wouldn't exercise work just as well? My arms tone up

Okay gals, who has a good exercise to reduce the old thighs? I have...
an elliptical machine and a Pilates machine. Don't really have anywhere to walk in our area (too rural, too many crazy drivers, and bears!) so that is out of the question. I have The Firm DVDs, have not tried it yet. Would love some suggestions to get rid of the jiggle and saddlebags!
Exercise, take a walk, jumping jacks, crack your window, do something

Get some exercise videos/CDs from your library or video store and do at home. Need to do SOME

Regular exercise helps, too, but watch for depression if you're

A lot of prisoners have TVs, exercise in the yard, play cards, etc. Just depends. However,

for me I would rather die.  What is life without the freedom to even go for a ride in the car or stop for coffee, walk in a park, etc.  


fast walk/weight lift/exercise machine only way to tone

I do occasional exercise & treat myself to good chocolate. I'm not completely agoraphobic,

Here's how I see the difference
Happiness is derived from a sense of accomplishment or achievement...it usually involves a skill or talent. It is something you usually work toward. Very much akin to enjoyment.

Pleasure requires no skill or talent. It is usually physical.

What's the difference?
You say, "That's the difference." Can you clarify?

You are correct, I didn't phrase a query. I told them what I wanted them to do, and I told them in a calm and respectful manner. I didn't lecture them about what they were doing, I just told them that I would like for them to leave. In our township, school property is not open to the public. It can only be used by permit after school hours, and I am the permit holder. I am within my rights to ask others to leave the property during the times when I'm designated the responsible party for the property.
So I didn't ask the teenagers to leave. Had I asked, "Will you please leave," the answer could be yes or no. That was not my goal. Therefore, saying "I'd like for you to move off the property," clearly states what I want done.
Still, I don't understand what you mean by "difference" in your post. The difference between what and what exactly? Are you saying that I should have asked them a question and then abided by whatever answer they gave me? And that since I didn't offer the opportunity to decline a request, they were within their rights to be disrespectful and shout obscenities?
difference -- sm
The lady who posted on MySpace also, if I remember right, had sent personal emails to this young girl. There was a deliberate attempt to hurt this child and progressed over time. The woman is not being punished for her posting on MySpace, she is being punished for her deliberate attempt to deceive and hurt someone else. Nothing would have happened to her, I believe, if the child had not taken her own life. Once a crime happens or is committed, her intent changed from bullying to involvement in a crime.

the person who wrote her opinion about another person has committed no crime against that teacher whatsoever. If a student can be suspended for calling a teacher a name, then perhaps EVERYone who calls someone else a name, should be punished in some way, shape, or form, but the last I knew, our country was still a free country and we were able to express our opinions about another if we chose to, even negatively.
What is the difference in that and them
