Wasn't gonna bitch about this but now that I have a moment - I just gotta get this off my chest. We are only in the 2nd week of school & a family on our school bus route has already missed the but once & asked us to watch their kids (kindergartener & 4th grade) this morning because of a a flat tire!?!?!? The mother doesn't work & the f'ing flat tire can wait 5 min untill after the kids are picked up. Here's the deal: If you don't want to take care of your kids then don't f'ing have 4 in the first place. To make matters worse, my kids can't stand their kids....... Oh god, I think it's gonna be a L_O_N_G school year.

Frustrated (gyms, lifting, and weight loss)
KarakD. replied to Fallen_Horse's topic in General Discussion
I think you've got to prioritize your goals. * When I was trying to lose weight - I upped the cardio (jogging 5ks around the neighborhood) and commuting on my bike. * Focused on food intake: Bought a food scale & crunched the calories. Lost approx 80lbs After that: I bought several dumbbells, Kbells & MedBall that can all be stashed under/behind the sofa. ---I have gym phobia (I can't stand them) but occasionally go to the one at my office when I don't have time to work out at home. Now Mantaining: I've taught myself a great deal about nutrition. I'm constantly revamping my outlook on what food is, it's effect the human body & the planet Zuzana is by far my fav to work out with in the privacy of my home Picked up a copy of "Healthy Foods fact vs Fiction" at the library. It's got some great info http://books.google.com/books/about/Healthy_Foods.html?id=KQcYxohCQfUC Good luck -

To funny, I view him as fluid, bright, comprehensive, funny & passionate. Most teachers appear stiff but if students going to learn then they have to sit down, open their books & STFU. That being said he is the one responsible for debunking Pluto. --- Pluto will always be the 9th planet to me http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/26/2903224/dr-neil-degrasse-tyson-killing-pluto-on-the-verge

KarakD. replied to Baby Hercules's topic in General Discussion
The owner left the dog for dead. He gave his up his rights to her when he walked out on her. -

Help with nutrition! Too much fruit?
KarakD. replied to amiracle's topic in Health & Nutrition Programs
I planted trees in season so that I no longer have to purchase fruit. Plumbs in spring, figs in summer & apples/pears late summer/early fall - then can, dry or freeze If you stop buying fruit from the Grocery store & only eat in season you wont have as many problems. Go seasonal & stop consuming fruit that is shipped tens of thousands of miles. -
