Im watching TLC "The world strongest Toddler" Its about this boy who is three and has 40% more muscle mass than the average child. He can move furniture,do chin ups easily, etc. The mentioned the GINA act. It bans the use of genetic information to descriminate people. Kind of like the Mutant Human debate in Xmen... There are "mutant" people out there now, REALLY STRONG, Tall, short, fast, all of the above... TLC makes a million dollars from doing expose's on these small and large wonders. I honestly believe we are changing as a species. All animals mutate and evolve, why cant we? Not just getting taller ( I heard Jesus was only 4'7...) Were evolving into these super humans depending on our backgrounds... Anyone have any info on this? I know i'll be googling till im asleep tonight on the topic.

Does anyone have any recommendations for natural/organic liquid body soap and shampoo?

There are a bizillion brands and I don't know where to start! Of course I prefer local, but COPA only does bars.

(I've considered going 'poo free, but I don't think I can handle the baking soda/vinegar regimen. http://www.naturalfamilyonline.com/go/index.php/389/why-you-should-go-no-poo/)

I'm starting my third week of Chantix today. I haven't had a cigarette in over a week and I have no desire to smoke. Anyone else take Chantix to quit smoking? I'd love to hear about it.

Has anyone had surgery to remove a ganglion cyst from the under side of the wrist joint? I'm curious about recovery time and time spent out of work.

We missed last week...

I'm down 8 pounds over the last two weeks
That's 33 pounds in 30 days!

I lost 6 pounds in the weeks before that.
That's a total of 39 pounds since February 2.

Best of all, that's one pound below my goal weight for Monday's surgery!
