Off-Topic / Snow...

So is anyone going to be affected by the big snowstorm this weekend?  I'm in MD and we're supposed to be getting 1 to 2 feet how crazy?!?  It was supposed to be 2 to 6 inches and then they changed it guess that's the way it always is.

Off-Topic / Reebok Easy Tones or Sketchers Shape Ups....

« on: December 03, 2009, 07:35:14 pm »Message ID: 115529

So I work in a shoe store and there is all this hype about these shoes.  The Shape Ups are supposed to teach your body how to walk the way you are supposed to (heel to toe motion) which is supposed to tone your abs and strengthen your back etc. (people keep coming into my store and buying second pairs because they love them)   And the Easy Tones are supposed to basically put you off balance a little bit so you use your butt muscles 28% more and your calf and thigh muscles 11% more.  My question is can a shoe actually do all that?  Or do I need to buy them to find out, lol?  Actually I really want to get the Reebok ones mainly because I want to try one of the two and I have extremely large feet and the Sketchers just don't fit, lol.  So what does everyone think is it a waste of money?

Off-Topic / So I quit smoking...

It has been five days since I have been free of nicotine and all of the other junk that comes with it, and yes I quit cold turkey, it's just the only way for me.  I set the date on my birthday, the beginning of October, for the day after Thanksgiving so that I had time to prepare and cut back, and so far it has been stressful but I have made it five days and that is an accomplishment in itself, and my boyfriend is currently still smoking but he said if I can do it until New Years then he will quit on New Years.  I will not be having any cigarettes any time soon I feel so much better health wise I can actually breathe again!  I feel like I have a new lease on life and this is a new beginning for me and for my kids!

Off-Topic / Sasquatch

Is Sasquatch real? Has anyone been seeing the new videos that they have been having on Sasquatch?  Do you believe or is it just a myth?  I know I believe I've seen some of these videos there's no way there isn't something out there.

Off-Topic / Does anyone know anything about AML?

« on: October 11, 2009, 07:47:57 pm »Message ID: 98675

My dad was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia in April of this year and he currently is in the second treatment of chemotherapy.  From what I have been able to find about it, it is incurable, and the chemotherapy treatment, and bone marrow transplant can only put it into remission.  But from what my stepmother has told me she is under the impression from the doctors that once he has the transplant if all goes well he will be cured.  Does anyone have any knowledge about this either professional or personal?
