I know you were asking Sabrina, but as another person who found C25K too aggressive, I recommend Galloway's Beginning to Run plan. He starts you on 10s of running, with 2 minutes (maybe more) of walking. By the end, you work up to 30s of running with 1 minute of walking...and that's all he tries to get you to. He…

Seconding your Anecdata with my Anecdata: The heavier periods tapered off over the course of the first year for me. My periods are back to normal duration and severity. I do have those cramps that Jenna Sauers describes in the article, though.

My view is that you're an idiot. Does that offend you?

Something is screwy with the tool. It's always putting me at 1.55m and 71kg even though that's not what I entered.

I have an erasable sticker on the back of each of my cards with the rewards written on them. It's gotten me a few looks from cashiers, but then they figure it out and smile.

Now I'm wondering if Darth Vader actually does have a penis... I mean, with that lava and everything, maybe the penis didn't survive? HOW WILL WE EVER KNOW???

There is a huge difference between risk factor and cause. A virus causes the flu. If you have a runny nose, you're at risk of having the flu, but you may also just have a cold or allergies or a sinus infection. Risk != cause. To delve more into diabetes, since you bring it up, obesity is a risk factor for…

Any suggestions for how to politely tell a friend or co-worker that is pushing this stuff on you that you'd rather not go to the (Mary Kay, Thirty One, Candle lights, Whatever) party and to stop bugging you about it?

While I may not be in the minority in this particular forum, I am in the minority generally when I say that I do not see obesity as a serious or lethal medical condition. If we look at large groups, say all of the US, and see an increase in body weight, there's plenty of causes for that (to name a few: immigration,…

I'd also add that just linking to someone else's work isn't what I visit this site for. If I wanted to read HuffPo's stuff, I'd go there. If there's nothing that the Jez writers want to add or talk about critically, this belongs in a "week in review" summary post or something similar rather than its own story.

In discussing this with my husband last night, I came to a decision that the big difference is trust. I trust Louis CK's intent, and Louis CK trusts his audience. There's a lot of other comics I trust, who could joke about just about anything, and I'd laugh and think it was awesome because I trust their real intent.…

Actually, "if not" in your scenario means I have a newborn baby that I don't get why I had...which is kind of part of the point. I also find the "if you have a baby, you'll get why people tried to tell you to have kids" POV a bit demeaning to say the least. You do seem to counter it with the sentences that follow,…

For a minute, I thought this article was going to go the Modest Proposal route and say that, since society treats having kids as an option, a life choice, let's make it one. Stop having kids until things get fixed, and pretty soon, things will get fixed.

Yes, this is why these advice articles/threads have to be taken with a grain of salt (pun intended).

I agree. This is way too much clicking. I used to be able to scan the comments and get an idea of a general sense of thought about a post or topic (mentally something like 30% in favor, 70% against). I liked that. With this system, I admit that I'm lazy with clicking and will probably only read the first five…

There's an ALL feature? Yes, I want that. This one post at a time thing is annoying as crap.

I have four different Lelo toys: Tiani 2 (remote control vibe with g-spot arm), Nea, Ina, and Liv. (Yes, I blew a lot of dough on sex toys, especially when you figure that I paid retail. My husband is out of town way too much. And the gals at the local adult store are really sweet and nice and friendly and make me…

I will admit that I read and enjoyed the Twilight series...the first time. I read it fast, I was overseas, it was in English...it didn't take much to make me happy. :) Then, I read it again, and I was just like WTF is this guy? And really, even the first time, I was pissed off at the end of the first book when…

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for the great information! I'll give it a try. :)
