I've been doing crossfit for 3 years and I love it. Finding a good coach and learning the movements correctly will go a very long way to preventing injuries. And, check your ego at the door. You'll get beat by people older than you, people who may look less fit, etc. it's you against yourself. Know ...

Damn! I just typed a super long reply with tons of stuff about Omaha and what to do there. I'll have to try again later.

I will be at the World Cup. I'm also from Omaha- grew up there and just moved away after another 8 year stint. I can recommend hotels, restaurants, entertainment, etc.

What do y'all want to know?

I have this one from Amazon. It works great and it's not too pricey. I've used it for zucchini, onions, sweet potatoes, etc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GRIR87M/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468870917&sr=1-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=spiralizer&dpPl=1&dpID=51IykptVsWL&re...

Lung worms is what I figured out my guy got from the donkeys. May not hurt to try some appropriate wormer for lung worms if he hasn't had it in a while.

So frustrating.

He doesn't happen to be around donkeys, does he? Sounds very similar to an issue I was having with my old arabian. We tried all sorts of things related to heaves and allergies as that's what the vet thought it was. I did some research and treated him for something else and he's fine now. No more cou...

Camp Dry. You can get it at Walmart or sporting goods stores in the camping section. It is a spray.

IMHO toll roads and turnpikes are different. You pay every x number of miles on a toll road. You collect a ticket when you enter a turnpike and pay a lump sum when you get off. In Illinois we have toll roads. You can pay cash (at manned booths) or use a transponder. If you have no money and you hit...

I have a friend who had to have both hips replaced at age 25. She recovered and was riding fairly soon after the surgery.

Weight loss is more complicated than the old calories in and calories out saying. There are hormones involved. Do yourself a favor and read the book Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes.

Myofascial release is good. I would also look for someone(generally a PT or chiropractor) that does ART (active release technique) and Graston (also called IASTM Instrument AssistedSoft Tissue Mobilization). Those treatments, along with dry needling) keep my body together through the beatings I put ...

2 people, 1 king size bed, 4 dogs under the covers. And usually a cat in there somewhere too.

Went to Nevis for my honeymoon. We landed in St. Maarten and then got on a terrifyingly rickety little plane with a flat tire for the short flight to Nevis. We were in the first row and could look into the cockpit area- there were switches and knobs that were wired and taped down so they couldn't be...

Yep. I'll occasionally like my own post or photo. Makes me giggle.

I saw him this spring and it was an amazing show!

Haha. I would tell myself DON'T go to law school

I suppose I am a runner. I don't maintain very high mileage, much prefer trail running to road running, and do a couple of ultra marathons a year.

She's lovely.

I would go with Fawkes.

I don't think I'll be dressing up this year, but last year I had a great time and used three different costumes for three different parties! I was hermione from Harry Potter (easy- wore a white shirt with striped tie and put my black college graduation robe over it and carried a stick around as my w...

I would use CMF Phoenix or CMF Fawkes (the name of the Phoenix bird in Harry Potter)

IKEA stuff is great. I have several pieces in my house and office that look great and have not shown any wear- and the ones on my office hold some very heavy stuff. That said, shipping is generally pretty expensive so you may want to prove that out if you're not willing to go pick it up. And you nee...

Central Oklahoma. 6 horses and 3 burros (2 horses and 1 burro are moved at night) on I'm guessing 15 acres - perhaps more. It is mostly meadow with a pond and a couple acres of woods. Hay is being put out this week although the horses would probably be fine without supplementation for at least a few...

I have these stirrups. $40.

I like Ribbon. Or Teeter- not sure why that name came to mind, but that's what I thought when I saw her.

I do crossfit and I love it. I thrive on a schedule and the classes are at certain times each day so I know I have to get there for a class time. Each class is 1 hour consisting of warm-ups, some kind of skill work, and then a workout of the day "WOD" at the end that can be anywhere from 6...

I was mpearson on UDBB. I registered as Ike here. Not sure why I decided to change, but I did! I'm a divorce attorney and I recently moved to Oklahoma with my DH and our brood of animals. I have a 28 year old Arab named Ibn, a 20 year old QH named Smurf, and an 8 year old OLD/TB named Ike. I'm final...

I do CrossFit, run ultramarathons, do triathlons, and enjoy remodeling and decorating projects around the house.
