Comments (29)maggie I wouldn't stop the treadmill completely but I would make sure you use the settings that change it up so that you are not going the same pace all the time. Go up hill and fast and slow etc. Also I would vary your workout and use other machines. Stair steppers seem to have gotten a lot better and appear to be real climbers now . Also elliptical is another choice and the cycling classes. Variety is the spice of life. But...most important do not leave off weight training ! Make sure you lift weights. That is the key to no injuries. c...See MoreGender-related 'appropriate' constructive criticism.
Comments (49)Pal, please do two things: 1) Watch a Bill Engvall video (if you havent already seen the skit that # 2 is referencing) 2) Print out 16 signs and be ready to hand them to these thoughtless women, while saying 'thank you, here's your sign' Seriously - it's abuse, and you dont have to stand for it. Lot's of interactions of a similar nature between women are not of a truly friendly nature, it's glossed over, thinly veiled hostility. Worse, the fact that many of them do this means that it's become part of the cultural norm in the office, which means it is likely to continue until you call a halt to it. Yes, they may respond with shock, etc, but you';ve served as the recipient of their displaced, likely unacknowledged, anger, for quite long enough. Regarding gender, if you were a woman and being treated like this by a man, it wouldn't be considered brotherly kidding on his part, it would be consider mental abuse; in a workplace, it meets the legal criteria for sexual harrassment. I'm not saying they're evil, but they are bullying you, and it should stop. I agree wholeheartedly with Stinky - ask them point blank if they would like you to say the same thing to them., and then walk away. If they go at it again after that (unlikely since it will seriously humiliate them internally to be confronted) respond once in kind, first citing it as an example. Expect them to be angry, to snub you for a while, to talk around the water cooler and in the kitchen about 'what a bad night you must have had' and 'jeez- you must have had a bad day', but also expect it to stop - the snubbing and attempting to laugh it off is a face saving measure but not an indication that they havent taken the warning - just maintain your dignity and professional demeanor, and it will likely end in the workplace being a much less toxic environment. Most of all, realize that it's not really you that is the true focus of their anger and mean behavior - you are the currently convenient, safe scapegoat on whom they are expressing their anger by these back-biting remarks. That's not a role you should accept any longer - your role is to ensure they treat you with the same respect and professionalism you show them. If it means they need to deal with their displaced anger another way, well, that's part of being an adult and living in society. Don't accept their abuse a single day more - if you begin calmly confronting the behavior, it will likely be extinguished in a very short time. Take heart, too, in that there is absolutely nothing you did to encourage this, nothing you did that deserves this, and nothing about this you should accept as normal behavior that you have to endure. And if you want one more laughing way to view taking on a bully, watch A Christmas Story again, paying attention to what happens to the bully when the hero's had enough of being bullied. Then print yourself a couple of signs to hand out at work. ;-) Please let us know that this scenario is getting better for you - no one should have to work or live in this type of environment. - Orchid...See MoreGardenWeb needs your feedback!
Comments (72)1) Better search. The current search is not only limited, but buggy (it doesn't return all matching results, even if the posts are recent, for example). 2) Ability to search multiple areas at the same time without searching the entire forum (for example, just Home Decorating and Paint, or Bathrooms and Plumbing, or Building a Home and Remodeling, or Appliances and Laundry Room, etc.) 3) If you're on That Home Site, search should default to THS, not to GardenWeb (this should be a trivial fix). 4) Additional subject areas for topics that always get a lot of questions (Fences and Walls, Roofing, Contractor Disputes, etc.). 5) GW should host its own photos so they don't disappear later -- it's so frustrating to read a thread and not be able to see the photos that go with it, or to have to create yet another account to log into a separate photo site. 6) A simpler way to add a link to a post 7) The ability to add multiple links to a post 8) The ability to designate certain posters as favorites so you could easily see their recent posts (your favorites list should be private, though). 9) A dashboard where you could see your recent activity (threads that you've started, threads in which you've recently posted messages, your watched threads, postings by your favorites, your clippings, etc.) so that you don't have to use search or go to your profile to find this information each time you log in The ability to set up rules for alerts. For example, you could set a rule that sends you an alert whenever mythreedogs (one of the Home Decorating rock stars) posts a photo. No limit on saved clippings Very often, posts aren't very helpful because the reader doesn't know where the poster is located. (This is also true on THS, not just on GardenWeb.) To solve this problem, GW should require all members to provide their zip code, which members could keep hidden if they choose. No matter whether a member's zip code is hidden or visible, GW should ALWAYS display that member's hardiness zone on their profile and posts, as well as a GENERAL description of their location. Members should be able to control just how specific the geographical description is (Greater Boston, Massachusetts, or New England, for example). Ability to edit your own posts and to delete posts that no one has clipped Please recruit forum moderators who would have to the power to delete inappropriate posts and to edit other people's posts (for example, to correct misspelled words in the subject line that would prevent readers from finding that thread The ability to tag threads as helpful or inappropriate The ability to select a font. The ability to control how GW appears on mobile devices...See MoreLow Sodium Recipes and Advice
Comments (24)Thanks to all of you. @Olychick: I will definitely be reading labels. And thanks for the info on Jane’s. I did not realize it had real salt in it, so will not be trying to find it. @Suzanne: The products from and their link to Amazon - sounds interesting. I do purchase any canned products with no salt and have done so for years. I will look for the Costco version of Mrs Dash; I did not know they had a version. @Rita and Mimou and Yeonassky: Thanks for the mention of using lemon juice. Mimou, what plant based diet did you switch to? ‘ @Annie: You and 3katz4me and Diane_nj recommended Pinzey’s so I will have to give thought to purchasing some spices and herbs from them. I currently do buy Vietnamee cinnamon, just not the Pinzey’s brand, so it will be interesting to compare. I’ve never really cared for citrus zest, but may start using it – it has such an oily taste to my palate and I know that is weird. Late yesterday evening I did print off info from the Mayo Clinic about the DASH diet. It seems very doable. @Yeonassky: I have wondered if meditation will help. Glad to know that with some other methods has worked for you. Did you have someone to teach you or were you self-taught? @Mdln: Thanks for that link. I have booked marked it to peruse later on in my search for insight. @Diane_nj: I love vinegar (including the smell), but normally have used it only in salad dressings. I will have to start thinking of other ways to use it. @Yayagal: A huge thank you for the link to the recipe books at the Kidney Foundation. I downloaded each of them and have bookmarked the site in my Health Folder. You all are helping me in so many ways. I do appreciate it very, very much....See MoreBunny
