Well, I finally saw this movie and I have to say... it was way better than the book! In the book I didn't even realize there was another guy in the picture, that Quilty guy. Very interesting! I thought the movie was very...

blueboy3 I just saw the new version a couple of nights ago. I thought it was good, but no where as good as the original. The new version is more graphic, or rather explicit about what is taking place. However, it does not always succeed in conveying the sense that the...

Please, if you must rehome your rabbit either find it a home yourself or take it to an animal shelter. Dumping your rabbit in the park does not help your rabbit. It will be easily eaten by predators, die of the cold or of heat...

xenobane We should treat pet rabbits like our house member, dumping them is just cruel and irresponsible. Pet rabbits are too used to the home environment that they really can't live off on their own out there, their wild cousins are already busy enough themselves,...

I think there is a conspiracy going on with oranges. Yes, the fruit. Let me explain... At the end of one of the 5K races I ran, we were given oranges. It was the best orange I had ever had in my entire life. That is, until the...

Heather Echola It sounds like the harder you work, the better the fruit tastes. I hope you meet all of your racing goals. You can be proud of yourself.

katerina Hi Pigglies, I've noticed that with oranges too. Like you I'm not a great orange fan but have discovered different types over here and straight from the tree there are some really tempting ones. There's an old man in the mountains who has the best most unique...

syndibee haha I love this theory!!!! what about the ultra race oranges??? where you run 40+ miles. When do you reach the highest quality orange there is out there? I agree though, I absolutely love the oranges after a race. After about 6 orange slices a piece of...

This morning I ran a turkey trot for charity. It was extremely crowded and it took me over a minute just to get to the starting line. But with chip timing, I beat the 1 hour mark! By just a few seconds! I was kind of forced to...

syndibee I'm so excited for you. I came on here specifically looking for your 10K report :) That is amazing you beat an hr. I'd expect to do probably 65 minutes on a 10K right now. I didn't get my run in, not sure if I'm going on the treadmill to work off some of that...

bounce58 Congratulations! So, what was your actual time? 59 point something? I wish I could still do that. Back in high school, I used to run 10k's. And I would make good time. Fast forward to today, I don't think I could even run to save my life. My heavy bulge in...

ElicBxn Barefoot is definitely something you have to work up to. If you have a treadmill you can do some walking on, you might want to do that. I haven't gone barefoot in YEARS, something about stepping on a nail... and then the first time I tried after that I got...

I_LUV_U That painlessness bit was funny..it makes me think. We never realize dreams to be dreams in our dreams, because if we do, it would end that dream. I, for one, seriously believe that dreams are purposeful and carry some message. So if you have been running...

saffrondreams All I did was buy some books and review my first year basic sciences notes. I find classes kind of useless for the amount of $$$ they charge - you should be fine without classes as long as you are disciplined enough. Best review books IMO are the Kaplan and...

jenseyedea I would say that you could compare them to your Nike's. I have had a pair in the past, and I really liked them. Good luck with your shoe shopping.

syndibee I would definitely do the city run. You stated their money is also going for a good cause, a hospital which benefits your own community most likely since it's city. You are also affiliated with a group that is participating thus you have that tie to that run...

macdingolinger That's a difficult choice. I think I would go with the group too and like the other comment, you can send money to the charity. It's a tough decesion I know! I would like to do some for charity also, but have only done two 5Ks so far!

There is going to be an Indian food festival out here soon, and I'm wondering if I would be able to expect a lot of good vegetarian food there? I would love to go if it's a good possibility that I will be able to try a lot of the...

FlowerFly I've never been to an Indian food festival but have been to India and know a fair amount about Indian food. As (most) a lot of Eastern food is based on a Hindu/Buddhist diet, there is always a wide range of veggie food about. You would find that although...

anna728 I adored that book. My dad gave it to me and I already considered myself an avowed atheist, but had no interest in reading a book about it. So I was skeptical but it caught my interest as soon as I started. It really was brilliant, and so perfectly argued....

Heather Echola Since you do not have strong ties to the charity, and you do have some ties to your running group, I would probably do the city 5K with them. If you feel bad about the charity, you could make an actual donation. I think it is cool that you have a group to run...
