that has to be some kind of mis quote or something becuase i can't even make sense of it.

my lats do that when i am 30 pounds over weight. uhh like now

so says you. I am sure by someones standards you are.

I think i love you...

awright, finally let's get some genuine theology rolling here One of the worst problems with the fundies (not you, bug) is their sick over-emphasis on the Pauline letters and Paul's whip-cracking harshness. If the fundies had just a shred of the mercy shown in Matthew, America would not be nearly so riven with vitriol. i can read all the letters and i know they are words in english but i have no idea at all what you just said.

face it john, eating food makes you fat. period

Corn's kinda like that for me. it is for many people what do you think they feed to piggies and chickens to fatten them up???

Corn is one of the foods that tirggers a sugar resposn in your body... like carrots. you can not win with this one. your best bet is to not eat tortillas period. I love cron ones though LOVE THEM!!!

You are scaring me! excellent my work here is done

ummm i don't have words for that. you are scaring me

thank you for posting the information. I feel blessed to have met your dad.

yep thats what i got. i just don't care for them. i think it is like everything else in what works for me may not work for someone else. i thing the best thing is to know what the options are.

I did not care for my padatrist much.he made some custom orthos for me. they are alright but i don't notice any more difference with those than i do with well fit well made shoes. however he did send me to a great physical therapist who did watch me walk and sent me to a running shoe store for better shoes that help me keep things in line. i have had to slow down everything i do to walk and hike with more percision. man i thought i was slow before

that last picture is of three men i admire so much. thank you for posting it. CP JA and CF xoxoxooxox shelly

make sure you see someone who is well recommended. I would really suggest seeing a Physical Therapist and or Mikey Layton before you do anything else. what i have found is that figuring out the root cause helps decided what to do and how best to proceed. for me the issue is in my hips. I may never be pain free but i understand the pain and where it comes from and that is helping me learn to live around it.

I have no experience with this diet so I am not speaking from experience nor knocking it from a scientific standpoint. But over a billion people live on rice as their main food source, and they seem to be all right. They live longer than we do, that's for sure. Many, many cultures live on bread as their main source of food. They've been okay for centuries. Pasta I don't know about; but I haven't met too many unhappy Italians. Plus, they are good in bed. So when I hear about cutting out main food groups of stuff people have eaten for centuries, I have to wonder. When people talk about cutting out the stuff that has been developed recently (which seems to coincide with our recent fat-ass health problems), they seem to be making sense. IOW: "Don't eat rice" What? "Don't drink soda pop" Right. Got it. Thanks. From my own experience, I can say that I have gotten fat over the last couple years due to increasing my caloric intake, increasing my sugar intake, and decreasing my activity levels. As much as I'd like to think drinking maple syrup in water for two weeks is going to fix that, I know better. I think it is okay to eat anything that isn't prcessed. I like brown rice and I think it is good for me. I like whole greain breads and pasta. I like potatos too.I am moraly opposed to being miserable for any length of time. I think that i will be okay if i can get my sugar intake down to human proportions. my first step was to start reading lables. I am doing that almost all the time now. second step is to only eat one treat a day. that is my challenge for this week. part of what i keep thinking about is that i don't have to never have candy or cake or ice cream again. i just want it to go back to being a once in a while thing. thanks for all the help and tips everyone.

JIm was one of the best climbers and one of the finest men i have ever met. My heart is broken in 10 million peices. Peace to you jim and to his family.

that would be interesting but i don't think it would work for me. I like girls too much. one of each please.. is there a name for that??? i do think that monogamy is possible in a poly relationship. i think the difference between monogamy and cheating is in the lying. the trick is to have an open and trusting enough relationship to be able to share that kind of honesty and commitment to each other. i have seen it work and i have seen it fail miserably. but then i have seen "normal" relationships work and fail miserably. so in the end it is not how you have a relationship that counts, it is the person or people you chose to have relationships with, and your ability to grow and explore and be honest together.

you all totally RULE!!! i think i just need to pick a date and just not eat it any more. this is harder than quiting anything else. with the kids in the house it is hard to not have treats. i don't want them to feel like they are growing up in a concentration camp (my mom was a total food nazi) but i am way out of control and packing on weight. I way more now than i have since i had my hysterectomy 8 years ago. i recognize that part of all of this is becuase i have been so injured and not able to do my normal stuff so i have sought comfort in food. just the idea of quiting sugar makes me feel nervous and shaky. stoopid addictions any way. i think i quite smoking like 29 times before i really quit.

I am pretty sure there are species of animals (wolfs for instance) who are better at monogamy than we humans are. it may be culturally how our society is set up, but it apparently works less than half of the time. so why lie? if our culture were different then we would function differently. marriage and monogamy are primarily an institution of the church.

help i am a heavy addict since i quit smoking a little over a year ago.

can you recommend a brand? I think i need to take glucoasmine too. i am way too lazy to do my own research.

thats actually a really great idea. i have been considering water aerobics as well.

NO WAY! NO WAY! Are you shitting us? F dude! Poor bastard must have hit the bottom. Having had unbelievable bad back pain I sympathize. In MY experience, MD's don't know SHIT about backs and necks but they can't bring themselves to out themselves and just proclaim their ignorance AND total stupidity on the subject. It's bad- they absolutely don't know jack shit but don't want to be thought of as blithering idiots ...but they truly are in this instance. Even a short time around them as they bluster and pontificate and a layman realizes how Friggan dumb MD's are in this area. In fact they are too f*cken stupid to realize how friggan stupid they are. Thats how bad it is and you almost pity them except they keep f*ucking people like your friend up for life due to their stupidity and ignorance. Cortizon shots? Chrrrisst! God they're arrogant dumbasses. [font:Arial Black]LAYTON? [/font] Where are you? Sh*t, where is the dude? Dudes posting about womens clothes right now I'll bet. Link for important info on sizing womens clothing I'd defiantly explore my options but #1 on the list would be calling Dr Mike Layton or someone like him. That's exactly what I would do, F*ck the corizone shots, don't get crazy! I speak from personal experience. MD's don't know shit. Treat the cause - not the symptoms. Layton just graduated and started running a ad on CC.com on the front page if you want to contact him. The guy who brought me out of back pain hell retired and 3 chiros later I learned that not all are created equally. But: thats where I'd be. Christ dude! ...Good luck, it's got to be bad for your buddy. I speak from one who had extreeeeeeme pain, MD's suck, start with a chiropractor. I'm serious. Really. Good luck. WORD BILL!!! MD's dont know shit about feet either. i got more help on this site from mikey and from the PT i saw than i did from either of the MD's i saw here in town. I don't blame my family doc but the PODIATRIST i saw should have helped and didn't. find the cause. it may be something you never expected.

i had cortezone shots in my feet this summer and i thought i was going to die. my feet hurt like hell before the shots and hurt a million times worse after. i got no pain relief from the shots AT ALL. the idea is that the shots will reduce swelling. that is not the experience that i had. my suggestion would be to get a second opinion. find someone who will help you deal with cause of the back pain.
