Hi Gentle! Glad things are staying stable. See you when you're around. :) Zoe - I was having trouble with the server too. Bluehair, that sounds delicious! Yum. Tweety - hope you are fully over...
Another good thing Zoe is to buy fresh/frozen veggies any time you can instead of canned ones and cook them as little as possible to retain most of their nutrients. I'm sure y'all already know that,...
Right back atchya Zoe!!! Tweety & Arciedee, sorry to hear about the colds. Both of my kiddos had a tummy bug over the weekend - poor thing, that's one of the big things I don't like about winter...
Hi everyone - I am back finally! Wow! I haven't had a vacation in 10 years and that was fantastic - except I didn't want to leave. Well, apparently it has been good for me because everyone keeps...

Gosh, I too am hoping for some good news. I live in Colorado and am a first year nursing student. It is my passion and I cannot wait to become a nurse, but I worry too when I hear all the negativity...
Hi Arciedee - long time no see! :) Good point about the multi-vitamin for your gender. I do take a women's multi-vitamin and I can tell if I forget to take them for a few days - I feel like a
You can purchase the NET study guide at Educational Resources, Inc. I highly recommend it. I am a straight-A student and I had trouble with the reading portion. The test is very hard and the...
Thanks Tweety & Zoe! I agree, the low-carb thing is definitely not the ideal diet, but it gets me a jump-start that I can usually stick with (until I get out of control). I love veggies too much...
Hi Lori! Zoe, yes, let us know what it says. Hopefully some of those lifestyle improvements will have kicked in. I feel so much better today, I was really good all day and managed to avoid all the...
I do the complete low-carb thing for the first week, but most veggies are low-carb too except a few. After about two weeks I add fruits back in. I was doing really good eating mostly salads with...
Awesome you guys, sounds like things are going smoothly . . . even with the parties! The kiddo and I saw the Santa Clause 3 (it was the only thing rated G in the theater - even Happy Feet is PG and he...
Don't forget to take something to keep you busy while you're waiting, if you wait. Some type of easy crossword puzzle or a coloring book or something - magazines if you like those. I am one of those...
Hi all!!! Welcome Conehead - so sorry about your mother's passing, don't give up on the smoking cessation though, you can do it! Rain, so sorry to hear you have been sick, hope you feel better soon...
Wow, this has turned into a busy place - how awesome!!! Gentle, I think you are right, probably worrying less about the food and more about the exercise would help immensely. I'm nutty I think...
Gentle, sounds like your walk was wonderful. That's interesting, you're the second person today who has told me they have recently heard a sermon that they really needed. I have been listening to...
LOL Zoe - you have such a great outlook. I do remember how hard things were going for you and I am so happy that things are moving in a better direction for you. It seems that our parents are right...
