JeninND Oh ditto on this. Don't gossip with anyone yet :) There is drama in every office.. it's my "policy" to stay out of it. Most of the time, you can't 100% stay out of it, but people will try to talk you into their side as soon as the first day. Yuck! A former...

JeninND Interesting - never thought of that! I wonder if somehow animals can tell the difference. It's true, I've never seen my cats chase bees. Their favorites are flies and miller moths. My 1-year-old girl kitty can (eventually) catch a fly she sees flying way up...

JeninND I doubt they know better :( But so far, I have always discovered the offending insect before they have, and have been able to shoo it out or give it the smackdown before the cats realize it's here. They don't come in the house very often, thankfully! A couple...

JeninND You can take classes - search for Bradley Method or Birthing From Within. If you can't find one of those, do a general search for birthing classes or at least Lamaze. You really should have SOMETHING to help you cope, because even if you get pain meds, the...

JeninND Find out what foods give HER gas. Some people have trouble with cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli) and beans. Other people have trouble with eggs. Some people have no trouble. A doula is a professional labor/birth support person.

JeninND As a doula, I have to say that mjhicks gave EXCELLENT advice! If you can afford organic, especially meat, eggs and dairy, GO FOR IT. The less hormones and pesticides we consume, the better health for us and unborn babies. I can't do much else but add a big...

JeninND Oh you MUST get it! I lost 50# on Weight Watchers a few years ago, and then gained 13# back between October (when I hurt my knee running) and January. So I went back on WW in January, following it with a vengeance. I worked out 2 hours a day, burning 2000-3000...

JeninND Yes, baby Grace has died. It's been horrible watching the last few days. I like Sami actually (yeah don't hit me, LOL). I was wondering all day yesterday if it's hard for Ali Sweeney to cry all day on set. LOL! She does a really good job with it, and I loved...

JeninND With traditional IUDs, fertilization can still take place, but the Mirena has progesterone in it. Progesterone inhibits ovulation AND makes it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg, then the device thins the uterine lining so that if an egg is even...

JeninND I love coffee! Preferably with cream & sugar, but that has a lot of calories, so I try not to do that more than 1 cup a day. I love to make lattes (espresso + steamed milk) for an afternoon treat. I wish I could make frappuccinos at home! I also love diet...

I don't have access to fitness machines like treadmills or bikes, so I can't do any cardio, which is the best way to burn calories. I'm only able to do them once a week when I have acces to a gym. So I need to know if there are...

JeninND An average person burns 100 calories per mile, so if it takes you 90 minutes to do 5 miles, you're probably pretty close. My mom is probably 50-60 pounds heavier than me, and her 3.5 mile loop takes her 60 minutes to walk, she burns 400 calories doing...

JeninND Well, there's something I didn't know right there! I'm trying to do my garden 100% organic this year, I just hate the little bugs. Do you suppose I could fill up a spray bottle with 7th Generation dish soap and water, and just spray the leaves? I won't use...
