Crazy! Everyone is thrilled...not least of all Peppurr. YAAAAYYYYY!!! That's great news! |

Originally posted by kgore I made my run finally---I 'rewarded' myself during the run by wearing my nifty pink skull arm warmers. (seriously, that is all it took!) It wasn't much, just 3.17 miles at a 13.27 pace. I'm gonna do some strength work later today as well. Yay me. Pink skull arm warmers?! Tell me more! |

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Mucho Mental Manatee Mentors--CLOSED (Pop Tarts?) Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by 4agoodlife Ahhhh, Mel, a subject that had been gnawing at me so... Rant on/ Detoxing, cleansing, supplementing...I'm rather put off by all of it. Especially lately. A friend of mine got caught up in the MonaVie pyramid thing last year. She did the classes, seminars, etc. and pushed it at all of her friends. Even had "parties" to read antioxidant levels with her finger scanning machine and promote her product. She barely made enough to buy the product for herself. Now I see that she isn't promoting that anymore, and she's on to a cleanse/nutrition product called Isagenix. I read an ad for it that said something like 'the average person spends $479 a month on food, but you can have this completely balanced system for only $300 a month'. Really? Not that it can't be helpful, but I figure if I'm eating mostly healthy and balanced, why am I going to spend $$$$ on "a system" when I can just adjust my food? Yes, I'm a little jaded right now...and I like FOOD for my meals, not tablets and shakes. lol \rant off All that being said, I understand the need for a fresh start (kick in the butt), and I'm glad you're going into it cautiously with a plan instead of a fad/bandwagon kind of thing. I totally hear ya on this one. I have a friend that is caught up in the "It Works" weight loss wrap fad. I want to scream every time she posts on FB about it. Speaking of FB (rant on) I've pretty much given up on it. It's all recipes and memes now. I try to use it to keep up with my family and friends, not watch them repeat whatever witty sayings they read on someone elses FB?! /rant Oh, I know. I rarely post much of anything there anymore. Every time they change the timeline sorting, it gets worse. I used to be able to follow people (that I picked, not that Facebook selected for me which is not helpful) and scroll down until I got to the last time that I was on the site and I'd be all caught up. Now, even with most recent sorting turned on, they jam all kinds of "updated" stuff in there that I don't want to see and they filter out people that I do want to follow. I feel kind of forced to check FB because so many other people use it but I'm liking it less and less and less as time goes on. |

I am so happy he is home.Thanks everyone for the good kitty finding vibes. He seems none the worse for wear and is VERY happy to be back at home with us. Kirsten- I think he was eating dog food and drinking their water when they came in at night. Aside from losing a 2-3lbs, he looks really good for being out for over a week. We even had a surprise storm the other night. I brushed him this morning... and he couldn't stop drooling with happiness. LOL |

I think FB is becoming somewhat more like Twitter, in that it is used for marketing, contests, games, but not really for relationships. I think we as a society will soon be yearning for more. That is my 2 cents, probably worth half that after inflation. |

Melon Presser 52116 | Subject: RE: Mucho Mental Manatee Mentors--CLOSED (Pop Tarts?) I used to do stuff like this all the time in LA ... not so much here, I'm usually stalking with the celebrity and know them ... I literally bumped into a distinctive and vaguely familiar looking guy coming out of the bathroom as I was going in at a cafe that I met my bro and sis for lunch at and long biz meeting. I apologized and he was very sweet and friendly. Turns out he's Happy on Sons of Anarchy. Here on vacation and also appearances at a bunch of HOG gatherings currently in town. Absolutely no idea until I was scrolling through FB ... |

Our girls got out when we first moved into our house 9 years ago (didn't realize the screens weren't held on the window by anything other than luck). Luckily we got them back before daybreak. It's easy to see cat eyes at night with a flashlight Peppurrrrrrrrrrrrrr So happy for you guys. |

Check often, post little. I think that is true for many of us. Although it is nice to see some folks posts and pics, but if I get notified one more time that my niece has "Changed her Profile Picture" I may defriend her. Ohhh, that'll teach her. Life is funny. |

What a timely conversation - I have a friend wrapped up in the "it works" thing (ha! see what I did there?) and it seems like every single post is about trying to drum up business, which I don't think is going very well. Same with a friend who sells Stella and Dot and has somehow gotten it in her head that I should sell it too... um... no. I'm also not particularly interested in internet politics wars - no, your latest political meme isn't going to change my mind or viewpoint. I do, however, use FB quite frequently to catch up with my friends in Vancouver and in the UK - it makes me smile to see pics of my friends & my niece and nephew. |

I live kitty purrs and drool. I am so happy he is home.Thanks everyone for the good kitty finding vibes. He seems none the worse for wear and is VERY happy to be back at home with us. Kirsten- I think he was eating dog food and drinking their water when they came in at night. Aside from losing a 2-3lbs, he looks really good for being out for over a week. We even had a surprise storm the other night. I brushed him this morning... and he couldn't stop drooling with happiness. LOL Aware??? I have no idea what I was trying to type there. Stoopid auto correct. i thought i just wasn't up to the new cool talk and maybe "aware" was the new "word" |

I think that as a society, we share more stuff, yet know less about one another than ever before. I firmly believe that the beauty of my life is enhanced by the relationships I have with others.

That is my 2 cents, probably worth half that after inflation. I completely agree. I rarely post there anymore but I love pix of my family and friends and even enjoy seeing where they go to eat or play. However, my sister's contstant stream of right-wing meme's I could do without... I continue to check FB because if I didn't I might miss pictures like the following of a great-nephew I've never seen in person... If only there were a "hide posts with meme" button
Check often, post little. I think that is true for many of us. Although it is nice to see some folks posts and pics, but if I get notified one more time that my niece has "Changed her Profile Picture" I may defriend her. Ohhh, that'll teach her. Life is funny. Ah yes, and it's always a duck-lip selfie... No duck face, she is trying to become a car model (sort of trying, really). Evidently her marketing technique is to rotate through all her pics, Whoopie. DN2 on a car hood. DN2 squatting by a tire. Etc, etc, etc. Oh yeah, accompany that with the immature whining about getting stopped by the cops. Waaaaa, maybe tinting the windows pitch black was really a bad idea.

Oh, I get it. No doubt in my mind. Unfortunately, there's so much more, but we'll leave it at this and not get my blood pressure up any more. What is the countdown, 3 days????? |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: Mucho Mental Manatee Mentors--CLOSED (Pop Tarts?) I'm procrastinating...badly. It's only 3mi run this morning, but 18mph winds. With a stroller it makes me go -> Went to the store to restock the fridge and Mak wanted to get some "bars" (Clif bars). I stood there looking at all of my options for several minutes til I realized Stinger Waffles have ruined them for me. Everything else seems too much and too heavy tasting now...even just a few bites unless I'm starving and need a "meal". |

I need to shorten my mary training by a week since being sick threw me off. Looking at the schedule, I think it makes most sense to knock out/skip week 4 (next week). Least impact on mileage build, right? Or do I cut a week of taper? *That was probably a "duh!" question, but haven't done this kind of training before. And I'm kind of a schedule follower.

As for the Clif Bars I've recently started to like the Clif Crunch, especially the white choc macadamia... |

Although it is nice to see some folks posts and pics, but if I get notified one more time that my niece has "Changed her Profile Picture" I may defriend her. Ohhh, that'll teach her. Life is funny. What a timely conversation - I have a friend wrapped up in the "it works" thing (ha! see what I did there?) and it seems like every single post is about trying to drum up business, which I don't think is going very well. Same with a friend who sells Stella and Dot and has somehow gotten it in her head that I should sell it too... um... no. I'm also not particularly interested in internet politics wars - no, your latest political meme isn't going to change my mind or viewpoint. I do, however, use FB quite frequently to catch up with my friends in Vancouver and in the UK - it makes me smile to see pics of my friends & my niece and nephew. I just find that it's increasingly difficult to find what I want. Of course, it's in FB's interest to make me wade through the site. More time on the site = more time to sell me cr*p. |
