I’m Starving! No, You Really Aren’t!
I just read a forum post on myfitnesspal.com and it really hit home. To use the term “starving” in relation to your diet, as in “OMG, I’m starving, give me dinner!” is so inappropriate! Google images for “starving child” and the impact should make you think twice about ever using the term “starving” again! No, [...]
Silly Comcast Salesman
We get comcast cable salesman at the door about once a month, since we switched to Verizon Fios, which is a whole other story :( Anyway, the doorbell rings this afternoon, and it’s another salesman with his “Comcast logo shirt”, and a clipboard with all the addresses of non-customers. I immediately wave him off (without [...]

Diet
Diet: a way of living or thinking, a day’s journey (This was the definition of diet when it entered the English language in the mid-1600s, according to Alicia Silverstone, author of “The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet“) Funny how far away we’ve strayed from the original [...]
Finally! Jeans That FIT!
I finally found a pair of jeans that fit me comfortably, after months of searching! I’ve been trying both men’s and women’s sizes and either the waist is way too bulky, or the pants just looked too tight on me. I finally found LL Bean’s Classic style jeans at their Freeport Maine store, while on [...]
