Hello and Intro

March 5, 2004

Hey there and welcome.

Do you have MicroSoft Excel? If so I can e-mail you my workout/menu plan (I

put them on the same sheet) for this week. I asked to look it over

and she said it looked fine to her. There's a bit of repetition in there,

and references to recipes from the Eating for Life book. I also have one

Myoplex Lite shake per day.

I am currently 5'6 " , 160 lbs or so, probably about 24% body fat and had

great results last summer with this program. I got down to 17.5% body fat

and 151 lbs, size 8.

If you're interested, e-mail me at jenniferdupree@....

If you don't have excel let me know and I'll see what else I can do with

it...

hi yolanda, i am also new to the group....but i have been doing candles, b & b and

herbs for a very long time now............my best advice is to start out small,

and do a lot of research and testing...this seems like a great place to learn

things, and everyone seems very knowledgable at different levels...good luck...i

know it's not the answer you wanted...it does take a lot to get started, but

word of mouth is key (in my opinion) for those just starting...so make up stuff,

and get it out to family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc...good luck!!

Hello and welcome!

You may want to start with craft fairs and local flea markets and farm markets.

I started with my candles, taking orders from my husbands freinds at work and

advanced into bath and body care products as well. The best advice I can give

you is to always use the finest ingredients you can, and talk to people,

everywhere. Print up some business cards and maybe a list of what you make, to

give to people. We started that way and now we have catalogs with pictures and

are doing home parties in our area. Always have them with you even if you are

only going to the gas station, We actually have an order coming from the woman

who did our taxes at H and R. Listen to your potential customers and try to

offer, or offer to create something just for them.

Thanks everyone for all the support!! Sounds like this is a great

group. I have been expermenting with different products for years and

have self studied use of herbs and essential oils ect. I do hunt

down finest ingredient organic and make natural products.

I feel like I really got some good recipes going. I give my

products out to friends and family. But am going to start marketing.

I made some home labels, but am still in search of finding different

size labels and different appearance to the product labels. It

deffinately helps to recieve opinions from the more experinced

business owners.

Thanks again,

-Hello,

My friend and I started the uricholine about a week ago. We both

have noticed that our 4 1/2 year old sons are talking more- repeating

movies, repeating words we say - but not really communicating better.

I am happy with any improvement because my son is not very verbal,

but my friend is not happy about her son repeating the movies so much.

Thank you for responding to my question so quickly. It sound like this is working for your son.

Do you mind if I ask

1) What dose you started with?

2) Did you increase the dose until you saw a reaction over time?

3) and how long do you expect your child to be on it?

Hi Delphine:

Hi - glad you joined! I'm a parent to a young boy

(Bryce) with SMA - and can't comment regarding the

dating scene - but have this to offer - that men, in

general, are stupid. I say this as a stupid man

myself.

We will occasionally watch the movie Poppins with

our two young kids - and I am always amused by one of

the songs (sung my the mother of the children) - which

goes something along the lines of " though we adore men

- individualy, as a group we must admit - they're

rather stupid. " (the song is in regards to women's

suffrage movement in UK in early 1900's).

Anyway, I would just add, hang in there, not all men

are complete jerks, all the time. I'm sure you will

find someone who loves you for you. Mitch

hi jared,

thanks for replying. that was really sweet.

yea i have met a lot of insensitive people in my life and for the most part

i don't let it bother me. i just think i am in a weird place in my life

right now though. and i guess it is bothering me more than it used to. and i

also think i am a little in shock still and traumatized from my date last

friday. so i guess i am a little disenchanted with dating right now. i have

told my friends and they agreed it was the worst date they have every heard

of.

and it doesn't really help that i am confused about life in general right

now. i just don't know.

anyway, tell me some more about you. where do you live?

Hey Delphine, My name is Tammia and I have SMA 2 also.I have been through the

same thng you have when it came to dating. I used a dating chatline to find guys

to talk to and possibly date. Whenever I told a guys that I'm in a wheelchair

they would kinda freak out or they would say that they didnt mind, but when I

met them I soon would find out that the reason they didnt mind was because they

were only after one thing. I didnt really give up on finding someone , because I

knew in my heart that I would find someone and I did. Me and my guy have been

dating for a month now( I know thats not long to ya'll but to me it is lol). He

left me a messege in my mailbox on the dating line saying he liked my voice,

that I jus sound like a very sweet and down to earth person,and that also he

liked the description that I gave about myself, and he wanted to talk and get to

know me more. He left me his number, and I was skeptical about calling him

because I guess I figured he would turn out

to be like the other guys I've dated, but something told me to call him

anyway,and I did. we talked for a few then we had to hand up because my brother

had to use the phone. I later texted him to see if he had listen to my whole

entire ad on the date line because I wanted to see if he heard me say that I was

in a wheelchair. He said he listened to my ad. I texted him again and said, " so

you know that im in a wheelchair right? " , and he texted me back saying no he

didnt know that.I didnt have anything to say after that so I stoped texting him,

and I waited on someother kind of reply from him, but he didnt text me again, so

I begin to thing to myself " oh my goodness, he doesn't want to talk to me

anymore because he now knows im in a chair " , he texted me back telling me to

call him, and I did and I was so scared, because I didnt know what he was gonna

say about my little situation lol, so when I called he said to me " so what that

you're in a wheelchair, is that suppose to

scare me away or something? " , all I could say was " I guess not " lol. he said

that even though you're in a chair, you have feelings too, and I still like you

regaurdless. I didnt want to get all excited just yet until I meet him. When

that day came I was very nervous. When he called to get direction I couldn't

really tell him, like I just went blank and I had to get my step dad to tell

him, I was that nervous lol.so when he arrived he called to tell me to open the

door, so when my step dada opened the door my friggan heart was in my throat

lol. When he walked in I was in aww because he was so gorgeous to me. and when

he began to sit down I kinda snatched his sunglasses away from him playfully

like they were mine , and put them on, and told him I was keeping them lol, he

laughed and said I could keep them, I was trying to give them back to him, but

instead of him grabbing the glasses he grabed my hand and held it and jus stared

staring at me lol, I was like OH MY GOSH! he's

holding my hand lol, all I could do was giggle like a little school girl lol. I

asked him why was he staring at me so, and he said, because I was so beautiful

and that just made me melt lol. ever since then everything has been going well,

we argue about stupid things sometimes, but what couple doesn't lol. So don't be

skeptical about dating because you'll find someone who's gonna be very

interested in you and wouldn't mind that you have a disability..

things and it has just left me feeling confused.

One thing i did want to ask about was dating. how many of you out

there are dating or are in a relationship? how did you meet your

significant other?

i am trying to push myself into the world of dating but am finding it

extremely difficult. most people have no interest once they learn i am

in a wheelchair. i have found a few that are interested but it just

never seems to go very far. and i honestly had the worst date know to

man this weekend. this guy made me feel like a piece of meat, saying

derogatory comments the entire night. i could tell only one thing was

on his mind and he wasn't afraid to show it. i ended up leaving, it

was so bad. so i guess i am just extremely frustrated right now. I

feel like i have hit so many brick walls. i feel like it is time for

the universe to cut me a break!

anyway, i really look forward to hearing from all of you and i have

enjoyed reading the comments thus far.

I can totally relate to being disillusioned with dating. I am 29 and just now

started my first relationship. For many years I saw most of my friends date, get

married, etc. and thought " why not me too? " . It was a strange coincidence the

way my boyfriend and I met and he is very cool about my abilities as well as my

limitations. I don't know yet if he is " the one " but it sure is fun!! Many

friends and familiy members told me for a long time " you will find

someone.....blah, blah, blah " but I never believed them. Try to remain open to

the possibilities and enjoy being single too. You are not in a holding place!!
