How can she provide chore services to help me then?I am going up and up on Thyroid medication and it is making me eat and eat and I had just lost 100 lbs. My arm that I keep falling on is hurting so badly.........and when I was trying to clean my house and dust I looked down at it and it was dark.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 What organization provided the lousy chore provider? I would write them a letter and in short, precise, unemotional terms and tell them how uneffective she was. With all that is going on with you, making a phone call and trying to talk to someone might be overly emotional. Put it in writing and then be prepared to answer their questions as calmly as you can. People should not be paid for halfway done work. I'm sorry that things are so difficult right now. I hope it turns around soon. ; ) Willow --- bARBARA <frombarb41@...> wrote: > Sorry I haven't been on here much, but life this > week has been > horrible.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Terri, You may just need a dosage adjustment with the Lexapro.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hi Sherry, Good to hear you are back in the loop. I'm a 45 year old mother of two wonderful girls. I've been working out off and on since a little before 1999 with Jane Fonda. My newest workout journal starts then. I've since added to my workout library, Firms, a few Tae bo's, Kathy , and a couple of Cathe Friedrichs beginner workouts. I also bought the WHFN FitPrimes, and KickButts, which is the rotation I'm doing right now (FitPrime). You are doing great with your workouts, I can't imagine workout out as many hours as you do in a day. You must have get up early to get that in. Have a great day, Kerry Sherry wrote: | I've been a member for a few months now but got out of the loop for | awhile with a hectic schedule but would like to get back in. In case | you don't remember me I'm Sherry 37 from MA. I am married and have 3 | kids. Been working out for about 5 years. On average I work out 6 days | a week for 3 to 2 hrs a day.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 A lot of us LOVE Elite...she may like it you never know. We all have different tastes. Just because YOU don't like it (specifically one workout) doesn't mean someone else won't like it. And as I stated in my other post you CAN use dumbbells in place of the bands during the abs workout. The Celebrity ones won't be released until March and we don't have a lot of infomation on it right now.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Welcome Tammy! I am the mom to 18 yo boys too. I don't have any experience with *mine* wanting to move out. Why not give it a try though, if he WANTS to. He can always come back home if it doesn't work or you could help him figure out what's not working and why and help him overcome the problem.Does he have a job?I would be thrilled if my boys wanted to move out on their own... if they could handle it... Toni sorry I wasn't any help. hi everyone I am new, but wanted to introduce myself I am a 38 year old single mom who has a 18 year old high functioning autism son, things get quite stressful at times, he really wants his independence now and is talking of wanting to move out on his own with a friend, anyone with experience in this any suggestions thanks" Be smarter than spam.
