Wow. That's a lot for a relatively healthy young adult

I love getting engrossed in books and lately I cannot find one. Any other young adult fiction fans have some suggestions? I loved the V.C. Andrews older books, never could really get into the series within the last five years or so, they changed. I absolutely LOVED the Twilight Series and read it a few times, which is against what I do, I never usually read a book more than once. I also really enjoyed 50 Shades of Grey, the first one, but couldn't get into the second ...

Please toss out some ideas to me! My son's girlfriend is turning 20 this weekend, and he is inviting some friends of theirs to our house to watch movies and hang out. They're all home from college and are great young folks. I offered to make some food for them, which of course he was pleased to hear. I asked him for ideas, but he just said, "Oh, mom, you know everyone likes anything you make." Nice compliment, but I need more specifics. I want to mak ...

I was recently diagnosed with adult onset of ADD. I've been doing a lot of research and found that this is quite common, it's not just for kids anymore. As an MT, it is important for us to concentrate on what we are doing and be able to multitask; i.e. listening, interpreting, typing, correcting, etc. I have started to find this extremely difficult for several months now to the point where when I'm listening to some of these monotone, obnoxious dictators that my mind b ...

My youngest brother, "Rick," is a 50-year-old doctor, never been married, and a loner (not in the bad crazy sense, just isn't that interested in people). For the past few years all holidays have been at his house because Rick doesn't like to be away from home (I think he might have some anxiety issues, but he uses his medical practice as a reason for not wanting to go anywhere). Rick lives about 2 hours from each of us. His house is very nice, but all the work of bringin ...

All these recipes sound great - but I can't eat them. I have to (want to) get my weight down - haven't baked anything since July, food diary, all that jazz. So now the holidays are rolling around - I went and got a small turkey, brussel sprouts (I love brussel sprouts), one sweet potato, an avocado, celery, I already have kale in the house. Also nonfat yogurt (yes, I took the plunge from lowfat to nonfat yogurt and skim milk from 2%). Organic "only peanuts" peanut butter. Oliv ...

Anyone have any good (and easy) costume ideas for an adult? I'm in a chilly part of the country. Thx! ...

I was divorced about 12 years ago. I dated a little, but have had NO dates in the last 10 years. Recently I met a wonderful man. Things have progressed wonderfully and we are now in a serious, committed relationship. I have 2 adult children who live with me. My son is 26, my daughter is 22. They are causing major problems. They REFUSE to spend any time with my new boyfriend. They DEMAND I tell them when he is coming over, so they can hide in their room ...

I am hoping to make this a short post, but I am at my wits ends here. My son, from the age of 15 has been such a rebel. He ran away from home, etc, caused great heartache to our family (his father, sister, and myself). When he was about 18 he came back into our lives, and we accepted and moved on. He continued to drink, do drugs (including meth), continued to be very disrespectful towards his father who has bent over backwards for him. He was on his own and not in our hom ...

Got this from an article online To prove my point, I've put together this list of 50 healthy foods that I've purchased at least once in the last six months for under $1 a pound. So rev-up your shopping cart. Apples - One a day keeps the cheapskate away. Asparagus - HUGE store special at 99 cents a pound during Easter week. I bought 10 pounds, blanched it, and then froze it. Bananas - Potassium for pennies. Barley - A tasty alternative to rice and potatoes. Beans - Canned or ...

I have 3 grown kids in their 30s and one is 40. Two of them can't seem to remember my birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day. Once in a while they may call late in the day, or text at 10:40 p.m. on my birthday, but often nothing is acknowledged or done. There have been occasions where I get a card and once or twice a gift, but not usually. One child does routinely send a card but never a gift. They are all professionals and fairly well off. So there I am on all their birthdays and a ...

I had something relatively decadent. boneless skinless chicken cooked on the stovetop with butter, garlic, salt, pepper and dried onion. BUT instead of fries or chips with the sandwich or allowing myself a sweet treat later i'm eating edemame with my sandwich. It is time consuming and keeps my mind and hands busy, taking me longer to eat and therefore eating less, hopefully. I think I will start substituting edemame for fries or chips with all of my snacks from now o ...

In north-east China, an unnamed Chinese girl gave birth by Caesarean section to a health baby boy. She was 9 years old.

According to reports, local police haven't determined who the father is, but are investigating -- in this province sex with a minor under the age of 14 comes with an automatic rape conviction and jail sentence.This new mother is among ...

My first meeting with young Barack Obama raised strong feelings and left me with a positive first impression. At the time, I felt I'd persuaded a young man anticipating a Marxist-Leninist revolution to appreciate the more practical alternative of conventional politics as a channel for his socialist views. I met Obama in December of 1980, a couple of days after Christmas, in Portola Valley -- a small town near Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. I was a 23 year old ...

Today I was in the checkout line at Wal-Mart. I stood directly behind a young couple. The girl had too numerous to count piercings with multiple nose rings, etc. That's what caught my attention initially. However, when she turned with her full back exposed to me, I saw the huge print on the shirt she was wearing. It read, "Why have God when you have Satan." Our country needs prayer, and I am asking thoes of you who agree to join with me in sending up pra ...

If so, you may want to rethink....I heard a story about Jason Biggs of American Pie "fame" and working on a new Nickelodeon show, said VILE things about Ann Romney and Paul Ryan's wife. Being one that doesn't just read and believe, I looked for the Twitter account after reading his supposedly tweets the other day and found it. He AND his wife are absolutely disgusting. You can see one of the stories and tweets here: http://twitchy.com/2012/08/30/american-idiot-pig-maher-in-training-j ...

All the Obamacare provisions already in effect are proving very popular, including, as now revealed, the one allowing young adults to be covered under their parents' policies until age 26. Link to Commonwealth Fund report just out below. This latest discovery about young Republicans--that they both know about it and want it--is yet another piece of really bad news for the TPers. One guess where their parents tend to be on the subject, too. Soon, like all of us, the 27-year-olds will be ...
