| RE: Losing 20 lbs. in Two Months |
20 lbs in 2 months is not an outrageous goal. It's just over 2lbs lost per week. The challenge is sustaining that level of weight lost over 8 weeks.
Don't worry about doing anything fancy. Like JPK suggested, brisk walking is great for the "burn more calories" part. Then add other great lifestyle things like, drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily, eating a healthy breakfast, and cutting your portions in half.
That's it. Eating less and exercising more will get you farther than you imagine. Good luck! ... View related article. |

| RE: Tips for Using an iMac |
|
What tasks are you trying to accomplish? Macs have some great software pre-loaded but it's more for what I'd call creative expression. Their iLife suite has great tools for doing things with photos, music, creating your own music and podcasts and making movies. But, I can't think of any pre-loaded Mac software that's equivalent to MS Publisher. ... View related article. |

| RE: Places to Recycle Prescription Bottles |
Have you tried having your pharmacy dispense your meds in paper envelopes? That way you are in effect "refilling" your own prescription bottles.
Note: How to Dispose of Meds
Please DO NOT put down garbage disposal. You contaminate the water ways by doing that and those drugs end up in all kinds on unintended places and bodies. Old prescription meds and vitamins and OTC drugs are considered HAZARDOUS WASTE and should be disposed of at Haz Waste collection places. ... View related article. |

Also, the spindles plus covers seem like a great way to store and use yarn. You could put a hole in the cover and thread the yarn through. Your yarn would be easy to access and protected from dust. ... View related article. |

| RE: Roasting Meat Overnight in the Oven |
|
I was just listening to an old podcast of The Splendid Table and they talked about this. The important points are making sure there is some liquid at the bottom of your roasting pan, keeping the lid of the pan slightly ajar so steam can escape into the oven, and finally, using a very low heat. Good luck! ... View related article. |

| RE: Make Your Own Pasta at Home |

Recipezaar.com has some great pasta recipes and my vegan lasagne recipe is from Susan at Fat Free Vegan Kitchen (blog.fatfreevegan.com). Have fun! ... View related article. |

| RE: Holiday Gift Etiquette |
|
Bravo! You've touched on one of biggest private admonitions: just because I enjoyed making it, doesn't mean someone else wants it or will enjoy receiving it as much as I enjoyed making it. What's the point of giving a gift if you don't take time to consider what that person would enjoy? Crafting is a personal pleasure so just do/produce things that you personally enjoy or want to sell. Be careful about giving it away because unless a person requests your product, they prolly don't want it... ... View related article. |
