Mr. Mojo: where are you? I've lost all interest in digi scrapping. The only thing that keeps me tied to digi is the forum.

Can't win for anything regarding exercise! The cardio doc says do cardio. I do the cardio, ice down my knee and it still hurts. Is there anyway to workout without knee pain? (forget swimming)

Why do gas prices keep going up but the place where I work only reimburses 38 cents a mile? Why does the government cut basic services for the disabled?

Is there anyway to workout without knee pain?

Have you tried using an elliptical? My knees bother me when I use the treadmill or bike, but I'm fine on the elliptical.


I think I'm going to start taking the kids to school while dh is in the shower and come home after he leaves. I love him, but his morning crankiness just infects the rest of us.

Dear Mother Nature,

The people of the Ozarks have done nothing to you. Why is it that, every single week of 2008, you have felt it necessary to deliver some kind of severe weather that has left us all very soggy, flooded out, and tornado-terrified? How about picking on someone your own size??

To the lady that just closed the shop my Dad worked at for over 30 years with less than a week's notice....STOP UNDERMINING HIS BUSINESS!!!!!!! Just because YOU couldn't make it work doesn't mean that HE won't. He's the one that kept that business afloat for as long as it did after your father wasn't able to come in. STOP telling all the customers that call asking for my dad that you don't have his number. And stop telling them to use a different company. And your latest trick, sending the letter out (after my dad sent one out to his customers) instructing customers to use this certain company....that's just wrong. I knew you were low down, I had no idea you were THAT low. My Dad is almost 62 years old. He's just trying to make a living for himself & my Mama.


To my 4 year old DS, yes son, I WILL tell you what to do cause I'm the MAMA!

OK, I feel a little better.

All you politicians quit calling me with your recorded messages. Do you really think I take time to listen to them?

To my body: Yes, I know you're freaking tired, but that's because you've got to get into shape, and the only way to do that is to actually work when we go to the gym! It's been 4 months already, get used to going!

If I use the elliptical, I have to double brace my knee. I can use the bike (usually) without any problems. In fact, the bike would help my knee feel better. But lately, I've been pushing too hard on the bike. I need to use a lower gear. I can walk every other day and use the bike on the alternate days. I was just pushing it too much-going out 2x a day-walking or biking. Yea, stupid, I know.

My vents/frustration/personal views ONLY:

WHY OH WHY can't this ()#$()@$ election be over already???? I totally do not understand why the primaries have to drag on so long, and I am REALLY tired of picking up the phone and having it be election related. I'm NOT going to tell you who I'm voting for. I'm NOT going to change my vote just because of something you've said....so GIVE UP! And DON'T let the door hit you on the way out

BTW, Obama and Clinton, do you not realize that the only thing you're accomplishing is giving McCain the upper edge??? Yes, I'm a Democrat, but these two (O and C) squabbling at this point reminds me of two little kids At this point in time, I'm pretty sure McCain is just sitting back at night, watching you two carry on, thinking what he's going to do first when he gets in the White House next year.

Again, MY VIEWS ONLY...These views DO NOT REPRESENT the views of DST, its moderators, its members, etc., only mine and mine only. I simply got fed up today when I picked up the phone, and what did I hear but, "This is Bill Clinton calling on behalf of Hillary..." Yeah? Click. I'm tired of it.

Why does it take so (#*$)(#*$ long to see my primary care physician (8 days after an auto accident) when the ER said 3-5 days for follow up? I've been to the Urgent Care twice!

why can't people read the road signs? Idiot! That was a stop sign you blew right before you slammed into my vehicle - *I* had the right of way, not YOU!

Phew! That feels good!
