Weight Loss	edit: removed quote	Feb 26 2010 13:38 (UTC)	13
Original Post by evitta007: HI I have gained 10 kg since last December and I cannot stop eating. How should I deal with that ? I cannot look at myself int he mirror anymore. Please help me with some advice I doubt this will be helpful, but it may make you feel as though you're not alone. Monica Seles had issues with binge eating herself. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/24/moni ca-seles-talks-about-binge-eating/

NPR for global news and my local paper for local news. ...my local paper is very conservative...yet NPR is not, it's sort of refreshing to get two "views" on facts.

Original Post by floggingsully: Original Post by tatjanaturtle: There is no law that states we have to pay taxes...none...money is being taken from those who earn it legally. There's no law saying we have to pay taxes? really? so everyone is just paying taxes for fun? If there is no law saying you have to, and you don't want to, why don't you stop? None, there is no law. If you can find it please send it to me, I'll give you my e-mail address. I'm very serious, if you do find it let me know. PG - I actually value a lot. You don't know me so it's hard for me to give you everything without you seeing my actions. I do donate to the local fire and police squads every year, and I have done my share in filling the pot holes on my street. I value the community that does that. Also, I let a homeless man live with me when he was on hard times, I donate to local and national charities. I volunteer at a local shelter many times a year. I'd rather give my time than my money if I can...but sometimes, money is needed and in those instances I give. I'm having a hard time articulating myself here, so I'm going to bow out, but if I can compile a list a bit later after work, I'll try and get my thoughts out in a coherent fashion. :) ...and it's Tatjana....with a J, not a Y. :)

Original Post by pgeorgian: Original Post by tatjanaturtle: I didn't exect the responses I got here...and yes, we are heading 100% to a socialist state. Show me how we are not please. for starters, a socialist state wouldn't contribute billions to support corporate entities. it would either let them fail or take them over. That's not the only thing that constitutes a socialist state. ....If I said we are, then I will retract that...we are heading towards...we are not currently.

Original Post by nomoreexcuses: Original Post by tatjanaturtle: Original Post by nomoreexcuses: you're going to pay on the front end or on the back end - so you choose pay for treatment pay for prisons, police, courts, and higher prices due to theft. which is better, in your opinion? Oh it all pisses me off. I'd chose not to pay for any of it......I don't enjoy living in a socialist country...I don't think any of us should pay for it....they're sucking us dry of any money any of us has left...and now they're going to pull more out of me? Awesome. wow. ok - well, at least you're consistent. i DO like to be able to call the police, and the fire department. Eh, I think it should be a volunteer service if there is one. i DO like to have criminals locked up. Why? I don't like paying for them...and they're going to get back on the street within 30 years depending on the crime anyway. i DO like driving on nice roads without having to pay a toll every 2 miles. You must not live in Mass.....the roads are HORRIBLE...and I've not seen a road crew since spring of last year.... i DO like having a military that can defend the country (and i wish that is what it were being used for, rather than invading and occupying other countries) I disagree here. i DO like the public schools that my daughter has attended as I would be unable to afford a private school for her -- i'd put her up against any kid from india or korea or china. I also disagree with public school systems...I believe in home schooling. i Don't mind paying my fair share for these things - it's called Civilization. Our ideas of civilization are different.....that's all...just different. Ever read Ishmael...or any of those series? i would be willing to pay for a health care system that focuses on prevention and outcomes in order to lower the costs for everyone, including for mental health, which is really no different than other health, it's just less well understood that you don't consciously control your serotonin, GABA and dopamine levels, etc. I agree with preventative medicine and help. i DO mind paying a higher percentage of my income in taxes than hedge fund managers, corporations and other elites do -- they benefit from all of the above "socialist" services, and they definitely want to do business in the United States and profit here, but don't want to pay their share. that makes them leeches. There is no law that states we have to pay taxes...none...money is being taken from those who earn it legally. I didn't know how to change the colors of my answers other than to bold them, so I mean no disrespect with the bolding of my answers...I wish there was a way to turn them blue or something. :) Just my opinion...just my two cents...don't let it upset if you don't agree....that's all...just an opinion. :)

Original Post by kathygator: The best solution, to me, is about education and service. If we can get kids out in the community learning about the problems, helping with volunteering, we can teach them to stay away from drugs a lot better than preaching to them in a classroom. This...I agree with this! :) And "they" is the government, out cities, our states. And my money is the taxes I pay. I didn't exect the responses I got here...and yes, we are heading 100% to a socialist state. Show me how we are not please.

Fitness	How impossible is it for me to run a marathon in a years time....	Apr 15 2009 15:35 (UTC)	7
Original Post by lafoutloud01: My college has a marathon "team" that runs it - if I register with the school I'm in no matter what. I think I could probably walk a marathon as it is now, it's just running one that I'm worried is impossible. Well then you've answered your own question....if you think it's impossible it will be.... If you don't...then it won't.

I don't see why I should have to pay for someone to heal themselves, when, they most likely don't want help in the first place. It's not my responsibility.. However, I do take responsibility to educate myself on addictions and take steps to prevent myself from becoming addicted in the first place.

You do have to qualify....unless you know someone or have an "in"... It's definitely possible you could finish it..not sure what your running skills are like. Edited to add qualifying times: http://www.bostonmarathon.org/BostonMarathon/ Qualifying.asp and how to qualify: http://www.the-fitness-motivator.com/qualify- for-the-boston-marathon.html

We're saving for..... A HOUSE!!!! :) We have our budget all set up with an Excel spreadsheet. We save all our receipts and make sure we stick within our very strict budget. We anticipate as long as we keep this up...we'll have $30,000 to put down as a payment in four years! woooo! ...also....another english bulldog....so, it's kind of a 2fer...I want them both but have to have one before I can get the other one! :) Good luck everyone!!! Saving can be difficult, but it's SO worth it!
Fitness	Im searching for new running shoes. Please help	Apr 14 2009 15:36 (UTC)	30
Original Post by lilreenz: The best advice I can give you...is to find a running store in your area. They will watch you walk/run and advise you based on that. The shoes will probably be in the same price range as the ones you have posted (ones I bought were cheaper). Also take your old running shoes with you. I was going to suggest this exact same thing.
Weight Loss	For all of us who were "naughty" over easter...	Apr 14 2009 14:10 (UTC)	32
Original Post by agana: Word. My scale moved up several pounds and I am really not bothered by it. I know it will start moving right back down after a few days. I had a great time with my family eating and drinking and being merry. Why would I want to give that up? Same here!!

This is just about location...coply square is pretty central, I can't imagine you were an hour away from anywhere in the city...unless you managed to get yourself to RI or Glouster... ;) Hopefully your date with the new guy goes better.
Health & Support	will someone help me out please???	Apr 09 2009 13:01 (UTC)	11
If you want to talk, message me...my brother is bulemic, I know it's not the same exact thing, but dealing with an eating disorder is very difficult both emotionally and physically. I should also mention he was anorexic for about 2 years maybe 9ish years ago...the restriction pushed him into bulemia. He's been dealing with eating disorders for amost a decade now.

Edited to address flonklar, not enchantedsky. sorry!

Thank you!! That was awesome! I felt even, compelled to post this to my fb with this reply: Every day I wish my life had a soundtrack, and now my thoughts will be preoccupied with delusions of people breaking out into dance and song at any given place I might be. This. Is awesome.
