AI Results . . All I have to say is
I've gotta start voting!! 
and wasn't that a bit cruel that Ryan mentioned no one was voted off last year's Give Back show - ouch - that hurt
Great results for me
Five months post op, no period!
Have you gotten results when you've hit him?
Or has he continued his behavior even when he's received a spanking or switching or whatever? Please consider this!
Something's going on with him obviously and he has no clue how to express it. Poor thing!
I definitely will let you know when I start seeing results! I sm
am usually a quitter when it comes to stuff like this b/c I'm so busy with work, home, kids, but I am not giving up this time even if I don't start seeing results in 3 months!
"not seeing results" ?
But you just named some fantastic results already after 1+ weeks -- you feel better, have more energy, and you're motivated. Those are the results that will get you to your goal weight/size. But -- and I'm no health/exercise expert here -- IMO how you feel and your health are the more important thing than what size jeans you wear. How you feel, your energy level, any health conditions that are improved, your self-esteem -- those are what you need to focus on and you're already seeing results in those areas! Congratulations!! The weight/size will take time but are worth the wait and are even more fun to enjoy when you FEEL better and you have the sense of accomplishment and pride that you did this for yourself. (Keep in mind how long it took you to get to your current weight and remember it WILL NOT take that long to lose it again :-) It took me 36 years and 4 pregnancies to get to my "fat" jeans - but only 6 months to get to my "skinny" jeans)
About 4 years ago I managed to do just what you are doing - walking on a treadmill 30-60 minutes (depending on how I felt and time) 5-7 days a week. I felt wonderful and so proud of myself for making this change. Gradually, over a couple months, as I felt better physically and mentally I added some LIGHT weights (hand and ankle weights) and floor exercises -- I never have been and never will be "athletic" or "physically active". I have never participated in an organized sport and never will and my hobbies are reading and embroidery, my job consists of sitting on my tuckus...
I also read the Adkins diet book. Like many I also did not want to change my eating habits -- mainly because I didn't feel I needed to all that much. I don't care much for sweets and, like you, have a house, family and full-time job to keep me busy. I didn't want to cut out any "treats" I could give myself to keep my sanity :-) Fortunately, I already pretty much ate an Adkins type diet -- I love protein foods and, as I said, don't care much for sweets anyway (other than Dove chocolates and strawberry licorace) and I could eat salads every day. Carbs were fairly easy for me to cut down on -- again, I did not take it to an extreme as suggested in the book (which I felt was extreme, anyway). I didn't change my eating habits much but was just more aware of them and learned some of the things I could/was willing to change that would help. What amazed me what how GOOD I felt. For the first time in my life I felt like I had energy, I slept better, and was more awake/alert during the day, and I was so incredibly proud of myself for doing this for myself - what a sense of accomplishment. It took about 6 months, but I was able to lose approx. 20-25 pounds.
Now for my big warning -- once you lose it you do have to keep working to keep it off! As I said, this was 4 years ago. Two years ago I had to take on a 2nd job. My eating habits went to pot and I had no time for exercise. I have now gained back 15-20 of those pounds. The good thing is I know it took me 2 years to gain that weight back but I know I can lose it much faster than that - thank goodness. I just quit my 2nd job and am SO looking forward to getting back on my treadmill and eating dinner at a reasonable hour instead of at 9 pm before falling straight into bed. That has got to be the worst habit I adopted! I can't wait to feel good again and have more energy, better skin and hair, and better health.
Good luck to you and congratulations!

If she wants to choose whether or not a baby results from sex
then she better choose to block that sperm from reaching the egg, because if it does, well then, a baby may very well result from sex. I mean, I understand when it's very, very early, but come on, abortion has really been taken way, way too far, to the point of murder of a full-fledged baby, and some people think, hey, that's okay, it's the mother's decision.
Can you get a copy of the lab results? A search is..sm
showing that quite a few bugs can cause those rare infections including E. coli 0157:H7, the Listeria family (listeriosis), Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella typhimunium, and the funguses from the mycoses family, but you said this was a bacteria, just to name a few. And there's always MRSA and MRSE, too. Ask the doc for a definitive diagnosis so you can be more informed, and my prayers are with you and your family. nm
Results came back positive...I have breast CA.
Will correspond with you via e-mail.
don't believe they were the bottom 3, Ryan said results in NO ORDER. (nm)

I hope you get better results from your school district
Good luck with your situation. Why some people are allowed to teach is beyond me. My best friend's son is what they call an "inclusion" child in his classroom. His aide who he works with every day was accused and it was "found" that she grabbed him by the arm and twisted it after he raised his hand to tell he had had just lost a tooth, and she's still teaching there in the same classroom. Nothing at all was done and she took it all the way to the school board. All they told her was she was dealt with appropriately.
Results show is Thursday night.

How long for endometrial biopsy results to come in? sm
I am chomping at the bit here. When should I call them if they do not call me? Thanks, ladies!
American Idol results- were you satisfied?
Last night was really no big surprise but I think kind of boring. I just did not particularly care for the group but I was glad to see that next week we have more contestants. I don’t care for the way they are picking their 3 each time, not at all. It just seems like ones that are really good do not have a chance this way whereas in years past seems like just anyone could have made it. How do others feel about this, do you like the 3 each winners this year? I heard them also say the judges would make the decision about possibly bringing back some they liked? Well, I guess Norman or Normal or whatever his name was (I"m not leaving guy) probably will just have to pack his bags according to Simon.
How long is too long to wait for Pap results?
This is a follow up Pap for an abnormal one a few months back. I have waited for the results for over a month and have called the office once. Any advised about being a patient patient - LOL. Its hard when your in this business, I think anyway, not to be more aggressive about stuff like this.
