plain chocolate chip. Never cared for green ice cream of any flavor. hot fudge or sprinkles?

I am from Kentucky originally and much prefer the Appalachians and Blue Ridge and Smokies to the Rockies... seen all of them, prefer the eastern mountains softness and greenness. I don't watch multiple sports, no. If there isn't a puck and stick involved, I couldn't care less. The person below me has seen the Alamo in person.

I am sad for them both, and hope the children really are first in their hearts.

well, I didn't exactly get that kind of feedback, but my trainer walked behind me on Saturday, when I was doing stepups on the 18" bench and 30 pound dumb bells... his comment, "Look at those hamstrings... wow!" in an admiring voice. thanks. I think? LOL~ I am sure he meant it as a compliment, no doubt. Oh, well, I've never been dainty in my life, but I sure am strong. I am in single-digit clothing sizes, so I don't need to be a rail to be OK with myself. I've still got 10 pounds to go, but then the challenge will be to keep it that way. As addicted as I am to the gym and my workouts, I don't think that will be an issue.

I am SOOOO proud of you, RWL!! That's just awesome, that you feel better and are motivated. Keep us updated, OK? Hearing that we helped you in any way at all just makes us all more motivated to keep going. You are our inspiration, chickie!! The meals are so important, you're doing great!!

been there, done this before. Love ya, Cheli. Hope you find somewhere to play one more year, if you want. You were awesome for the Wings and many of us appreciate all your hard work and savvy. You will be missed.

PC for work. Mac, if I had my druthers. Fur or feathers.

nope, sure don't. But I used to be a big Mac fan. The person below me knows Joe.

I'll answer my self (and date myself in the process): Yesterday (single), Paul McCartney and those other guys... the Beatles? The person below me overslept this morning and now is late for something.

neither, I like darker more complicated films. If I have to choose, then comedy. Saturday or Sunday?

nail clippers. I've never ever been tempted to use teeth on hangnails, etc. Yucky. blonde or brunette?

Don't hate 'em, but don't love them like some people who collect them and think they're cute or something. You will only find me in socks when I am at the gym (which is every day) and I have to wear them. Plain white sports anklets, bought by the bag so they all match. Flip flops or sandals at least 11 months out of the year here. The person below me remembers the name of the first record/album they purchased as a kid.

dead looo... ack. coffee, with a little perky half and half, steaming hot... **dies** top up or top down -- on a convertible! what did you think I meant???

nope, just jeers from Dallas fans. Like they have any basis for that -- they will never win another one. The only one they have is tainted... TPBM is friends with someone famous.

I'd much rather do laundry than clean bathrooms. I have to do both, but laundry's less onerous. Bathrooms seem to always want attention. Blah. The person below me has driven faster than 100 MPH before.

starving... but going out for brekkies in a bit, so I say bacon today. Pancakes or waffles? tummy growling...

I do love thunderstorms. Sadly, they are very rare here, as we are in a three year and counting drought. I miss rain. The person below me likes to start their day with a little TPBM and LGW visit.

I like hysterical unreal shows the best. j/k... Historical, I think. I am getting tired of the low budget, exploitive reality shows. Some people and what they think/do just aren't all that interesting. scrambled or over-easy?

Just a charley-horse. I think I've ridden a horse twice in my life. It wasn't my cuppa java. The person below me had had their picture taken with the Stanley Cup.

neon. Makes me think of Nemo, my favorite Pixar movie. Tums or Gas-X?

Some people have fat where you can see it, and some people have fat between their ears where their brains should be. I prefer the kind of fat that you can see: it can be worked off and dealt with by sensible diet and life-style changes and being good to yourself and your body. The fat between the ears is permanent, sadly. Pay no mind. Do what you're doing and keep up the great work, Lady! Take the stairs if you can, too, BTW. That has been a big "barometer" for me. A year ago, the four flights of stairs to my office made me puff and my pulse pound. Now, I run up them in the morning (actually three or four times a day as I come and go to my office) and they are not even a challenge. Little things count! Hang in there and keep the reports coming. I have total faith in you!

all great advice, Jacqui! ^^^ I went to the doctor today for a little check up and got good news. I lost five more pounds, and didn't even realize it (total of 38 pounds lost now in a year). But that wasn't the best part. I get to drop my high blood pressure medication and cut the thyroid meds I have been on for three years down to half dosage. It doesn't sound like much, but in a year's time, I am thrilled with the progress. I attribute the lowered BP to all the time I've spent in the gym, and plan to continue. Exercise is the best "medicine" in the world, I am convinced. My doctor also told me that she wished all her patients were as dedicated as I am. Then she told me I don't look anywhere near my age -- clearly I am paying her enough, to get her to volunteer that, eh? With all the stress in my life lately, I thought my BP would be elevated despite the meds, but that wasn't the case. I am pleased. We're going to pull tires tomorrow at the gym... this will be interesting, with the temps hovering around 100 even at 7:00PM.

I boo-hoo'd, as I usually do when I see him. I can't help but remember what a force he was, and what a brave man is still is. He touches so many people in ways he might never understand. Love ya, Vladdie!! The person below me thinks Perfect Nick should have won the Norris again, and that Chara gets the renamed "We're Tired of Lidstrom Winning This All the Time so We're Giving it to Chara" Trophy.

Let me rephrase that: I THINK Pasha should have won the Hart. I think that. My opinion differs from yours. Doesn't make it not true. It was obvious what an impact Datsyuk had on this team when he was out of games in the finals. I believe we would have won the Cup with Pasha healthy and Lilja, too. Wish Nick had won the Norris, too. But Chara was everything to his team, so OK. And yay, for Tim Thomas. I love that he won the Vez.

LOL! Like Count Chocula??
