I use the extra-firm Rumble Roller... ouch...

Just because you mentioned "The Biggest Loser", I have to step in with my loathing for that show for what it does to it's contestants and it's viewers. It's a TV show. It's sole purpose is to make money. The producers of that show have no interest in inspiring people or teaching people about being healthy. From a…
Not to mention how frustrated the poor ectomorph gets when he sees the endomorph's body in the "After" photos and is led to believe that they can put on that kind of muscle quickly, celebrity or not!
Are you building muscle?
Can we all agree that for the most part, we are doing the best we can?
And be sure to use the word "so"... a LOT! The more times you say "so" the more you express the extent of your sincerity. Perhaps you can even drag one out a bit too, because you're a master wordsmith!
I didn't actually say nor imply that was the reason why all non-Christians send their kids to private Christian schools. I was just expressing that it does happen often. You keep making assumptions...
I'm so sorry that you have to deal with such behavior.
OK, you're having a difficult time understanding where I'm coming from on here, and I can only blame myself for not presenting what I am trying to say in the most effective manner while trying to remain succinct, due to time constraints. I completely understand how the "spirit" of the rhetoric differs from the article…
My wife taught at a private Christian school. It was amazing how many non-Christian parents sent their kids there because they thought that by doing so, their kids would become nice, obedient, good kids and that the school would somehow "fix" their behavior. It starts and ends at home. No, you don't have to be…
The whole piece is full of suggestions of what parents need to be doing. I was only providing a glimpse into what can happen when people don't engage in active parenting. So, do we continue responding to finger-wagging with more finger-wagging? Perhaps instead of doing the very thing you're accusing me of, you could…
It's sad how many parents expect their kids to learn good behavior at school or church instead of putting forth such efforts as described here to raise their own children. You want something done right, you have to do it yourself. How many times have I heard, "I let my kids figure out things on their own and learn…
I tell my clients to throw their scale out the window. Seriously, don't weight at all. Measuring your progress by the number on the scale is like measuring your net worth by the amount of change in your pocket. Get a seamstress' tape measure and take measurements.
I never make identity claims!
Is there a comprehensive study on this which includes people using different cases for different purposes over a length of time?
I've already said that I don't do Santa with my kids, nor do I lie to them or anyone else, so, swing and a miss on the hypocrite remark. I just think this whole conversation is another example of people blowing something WAY out of proportion.
Yup, exactly, so let's not let them climb trees, because they might fall and die. Let's not let them ride bikes, because they might fall and die or get run over. Let's not let them have an imagination at all because they'll eventually find out the truth and be completely crushed. Let's rip out EVERY infinitesimally…
I believe you're right to a significant degree. People believe everything bad can happen to them. People are easily-amused and easily-frightened. Everyone has a soapbox now: "Don't let your kids climb trees, because mine did and fell out and died." That's awful, but how far are we going to go with removing a child's…
That article seems to take an opinion of a bitter author, find a few minority examples (and absolutely no cited research) to bolster it and run with it. That's the way many such "let's change everything because it hurt a few people's feelings" campaigns work. Want to offend no one? Don't ever speak or have an opinion.
