philp

That is very cool!! Thanks, water!

I'll give them them a shot tonight. Thanks, bro!

I'm trying to rip music from CD's using WMP 10 and store them in mp3 format. According to what I've read, this should be no problem but I get an error message saying I don't have a suitable mp3 converter installed on my computer. I reinstalled WMP 10 and apparently there were some things missing because it now recognizes the name of the disc and the song titles instead of displaying "unknown artist" etc. But I still get the same error mesage. What am I missing?

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

it's so good to see that so many of our members r against popping a pill to solve a situation...don't we have great members??

That's why we are all here. The people ARE so great. 

I have lost over 45 pounds this year by simply watching what and how much I eat. I exercise a bit too (not as much as I should) but it was mostly the change in my eating habits. I haven't been to a buffet in a year or so and I stop eating when I get full. Want a snack? Don't grab a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream, have some fruit instead. Of course, I never was real junk food eater anyway. 

hey philp why is ur post count at 2, i know u hade more posts than that.

I deleted my account but then reactivated it. CA3LE is going to restore the count when he gets a chance. It doesn't bother me and I won't bug him about it. He's got a lot more important things to worry about, I'm sure. 

Our bodies are not designed to take chemicals, whether it is a street drug, or a prescription drug.  Putting all these kids on ritalin, people on anti-depressants and anti-psychotics....nothing good will come of it.  All we are doing is creating medicated zombie replicas of ourselves, while our spirits weep from neglect. 

OMG.

I don't know if you have kids, but that is the gospel right there. When my son was in elementary school (he's 22 now) they labeled him ADD/ADHD and told us we needed to start him on Ritalin right away. Told us it was just fine and would help him through his life. So we medicated him in the mornings and sent him on his way. When my ex and I saw his school pictures, when he was stoned on that crap, we knew right away that when the schools tell kids to "just say no to drugs", they should include all the zombifying crap they "recommend" as well. I t looked like he was doing everything he could to smile for the camera, but it wasn't quite working. He was high, and not in a good way.

So, to anyone with young children, if the school system tells you to drug your child just so the teachers don't have to do the job for which they are paid, tell those duche bags to piss up a rope. 

has anyone asked how old u r??? or how long did it take for u put on that much weight?...

just stay away from all dieting...eat healthy and exercise...including cardio 3 times a week...get some tapes to exercise with...then when ur comfortabe...go to the gym and get professional advice...start every routine with stretching and warm up...AND a power breath...which is...

stand up straight feet hip width apart...now take 3 normal deep breaths to the count of five (five in and five out...1 2 3 4 5) after the third one take another really deep breath in (count of 5) til u can't hold in any more then take in a tiny more (top off)...hold count of 5...hands on ur hips...as u bend forwrd from the hips blow it all out (hard) count of 5...when it's all gone blow a tiny more...deep breath as u stand...relax wait 30 seconds...repeat twice...

this powers u up to burn calories and fat...and excess glucose...and remember u can't burn fat if u don't consume fat...ur body needs it to burn carbs and glucose...and u'll store it if u deprive urself of this vital nutrient...and water...take ur weight say 300 divive in half =150 u need 150 oz of water per day...stay away from adkins... and south beach...it's been predicted that todays adkins dieters r tomorrows diabetics...again ur depriving urself of vital nutrients......smaller portions...eat slow...this little meter in ur brain turns on the minute u take ur first bite or drink...20 minutes later it tells u that ur full...reguardless of how much u've eaten...america eats too fast...consumes too many calories...more than we work off...

take ur time...it took u awhile to get here...just stroll ur way back and enjoy...

start with a physical before u take anyones advice...including mine...ur doctor will tell u what u can tolerate...and yogurt is fantastic...and milk...both contain cla...which helps to speed the metabolism...as does 2 tablespoons of vinegar in 4oz of warm warm...gulp it down

sorry wow...that was long winded

Listen to this very informed lady. She knows what she is talking about. 

And the most important piece of advice, eat smaller portions. Eat slowly and stop when you feel full. You could also help that by drinking a large glass of water right before the meal. It will take up space in your stomach that too much food WOULD have.
