Ben, of course you were being sarcastic. And I was being a smarta__ with my reply. Since sarcasm comes from the latin root sarcos which means to rip and tear flesh will my daily protein requirement increase if I engage in sarcastic banter? Guess I better go mix up a whey protein shake to be on the s...

Anna, You may have a muscle spasm rather than a laceration. That is a group of fibers within the muscle belly which are maximally contracted, and not returning to more relaxed resting tension. This can be very painful, and is commen in the paraspinous musculature of the back. Having said that, I agr...

Margeret, thanks for the advice. I guess I need to get serious about packing. I am hopeful that we may be finished with the house as early as the beginning of April...that doesn't leave much time. I just had a work gig (which didn't sound like too much fun) fall through, so thankfully I will have th...

Jemima, maybe a squirt or two of glass cleaner on a paper towel to dampen it, then place the paper towel in a ziplock bag. Then you have a damp easily portable cleaning rag which can go into the trash when you finish wiping down the slide. <br /><br />Pam<br /><br />Jemima, maybe a squirt or two of ...

Ben, <br />Yes, life has been shown to be 100% fatal....however, I don't think the "over consumption" of protein will be a factor! <br /><br /> Pam

I think rowing during pregnancy is a great idea, and wish i had a rowing machine when I was pregnant with my children. I exercised thoughout both pregnancys, a combination of road biking, hiking and light weight lifting, and situps. I rode my bike 25 miles in my 38th week with my first child. Near t...

Buffles! Jen! Great to see the two of you back and active in the discussion. I know I don't post much, but I certainly enjoy the advice, stories and encouragement from you ducks! <br /><br />Holladay, Loved the snow pics. Good lookin' family and yard. Great to see you, snappyrower and rhody all doin...

Doesn't look like many women have jumped in on this discussion. My own experience with soy protein supplements included longer duration and significant increase in both premenstual bloating and breast pain. I stopped the soy and now use whey protein. I am much more comfortable and actually feel like...

Margeret, good job on the getting small bits of rowing worked in through the day. That sounds like a good stratagy, I may need to do that as well. <br /><br />Count me in for the March madness. I will attempt to complete the 5K for at least 25 days. I was doing pretty well until the end of January, ...

From your description, I am assuming that the pain you have is on the inside of your leg. There is a syndrome called "snapping hip syndrome" which often refers to tendon inflammation and or bursitis of the iliopsoas tendon and its adjacent bursa. The ileopsoas muscle is composed of the iliacis and p...

I need to commit to the weight-loss challenge. I need to lose about 15 pounds. I've been about 150lb for the past 10 years (since coming to Oklahoma, and having two children)--noticed the weight on my airmans medical certificate in 1995, shortly after I arrived was 140, had been 135, and felt great ...

count me in for the January challenge. Sounds like fun and great motivation! I like fowl play or quack attack.<br /> Pam

Hello ducks! I havn't posted before, so I'll see if this works. I just completed my HC this morning. Couldn't sleep at 2:30 and decided to do a long row so I can get some Xmas shopping in this evening. I am working out of town this week, so I loaded my (partially disassembled) rower into the back se...
