My husband and I just finished our first 30 days as paleo-participants. It's been a great learning experience and our health feels greatly improved already. The only difference between what we do and what what this presents is that we allow ourselves one cheat day a week. I think in this world and culture, it is impossible to stay on this kind of plan without it.

Wow, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who had experienced this and gotten mad! We live in a rental, but I've always meticulously kept the flowers because I love them. The other night, around midnight a car pulled up to our house and someone ripped all of a particular type out. I was in shock and almost opened the window to yell at them, but was too frozen in complete shock!

We've actually had really good luck getting a really thin and crispy crust by freezing the dough for at least 24 hours, thawing it for 20-30 minutes, rolling it out onto a pizza stone, and then pre-baking and baking on the bottom rack of the oven at about 400-475 degrees.

rolling the dough out when it's been frozen allows you to get it thinner than you would just rolling room temperature dough out.

How timely. We went camping a few weeks ago and I saw my first scorpion. Didn't think they were in Missouri, FREAKED OUT.

I think you have to distinguish between living without TV and living without a cable package. We opted a year ago to get rid of our cable to change our lifestyle and save money (more than $50/mo depending on the package). It was an adjustment at first, if you're hooked on flipping channels and watching whatever was on, but now, I can't imagine having it.

We too watch all our shows on hulu or through download, and other than that, we just don't watch TV and really don't miss it. In retrospect, I can't believe how much time I wasted watching shows that I really wasn't all that interested in. It's removed a lot of negativity from our lives, as we used to watch cable news to get our information, and terrible reality shows. Our house is cleaner, we read more, and spend a lot more time outdoors. Most of all, the money we save has been better spent on vacations, trips and hobbies we've taken up since cancelling our subscription.
