    Happy birthday!

    I would say I probably spent around $4,000 before I gave up on doctors and diagnosed myself because they refused to believe anything was wrong with me. My first name is Ezme. Good luck with the project. Tomorrow is our last day of school!

    The corn tortillas are **usually** made with only cornmeal. I had the unfortunate experience of watching the girl at my favorite little restaurant pour wheat flour into the masa (cornmeal dough) in order to make it softer. The ones you can get at tortiller

    I tried to find a list of premade foods that were safe, but it's not really feasible in most third world countries because it seems, at least in Mexico, that the grocery stores get a lot of random things and when those are sold, they're replaced with other random food items. Some of the same brands are usually available like Kelloggs and Campbells, but they...

    Cool, that's good to know. I'm not in the area now, but I'm applying for a job at Cascadia Community College and will hopefully be in the area next (school) year.

    Have fun! I've never been to Queretaro, but I lived in Guanajuato which is, from what I hear, fairly similar. Having said that, I would bring a wind resistant jacket of some sort because there can be really biting winds, especially at night.

    Wow Hathor, Thanks for the long response! I learned a lot from it. I'd never heard of Dr. Harris nor Dr. Fuhrman, but there websites do seem to show a diet pretty close to mine. I'm going to check for Dr.Fuhrman's book at the bookstore since we don't have a library here. As for your tapas and wine, I don't think you can have one without the other...

    Hi, Since I've spent practically my whole life trying to lose weight, I should probably let you know what is working for me. I actually saw the smallest number I have ever seen on the scale this morning! 124! I got on and off the scale three times just to see if it was correct. That's 100 pounds down from my highest. I tried Weight Watchers and...

    Hey Nanny B, I just noticed that you're a Spokie. I too am from Spokane I don't have experiences in Cozumel or Cancun, but I wanted to let you know that you should be able to bring Lara bars, cereal, nuts, and other dry goods into Mexico. You can't bring fresh fruits or vegetables, but you can bring them on the plane and leave any leftovers on the...

    I agree. You should really talk to the people who are in charge of the trip. You should also have no problem bringing Lara bars, cereals, and things like that with you. Fruits and veggies should be plentiful. But, are you going to be eating with the missionary group or with Peruvians? That will make a difference in the foods you're served. Is there...

    I just got an Oster from Target. It works pretty well but hurts my ears because it's so loud. I need to get some of the earmuff thingees they have at the firing ranges. I really, really want a Blendtec or Vitamix because those can handle nut butters and things. Here's a good link that compares the two. Open Original Shared Link Ezme

    Just a little vocab in case you need it. manager is gerente (sounds like hair-ehn-tay) boss is jefe (heh-fay) chef is chef but with a strong ch sound like chair

    I would agree with Ursa Major. You should try dietary changes before taking any drugs. Medications can alleviate symptoms for a time, but they aren't getting to the root of the problem. Try cutting out the gluten, dairy, and soy first and see if that doesn't help. Also, a LOT of people on these boards see drastic improvements in anxiety issues as well...

    I'm 5'1" and shorter than every single one of my students!

    Hi, sorry you have that going on! I would agree with cutting out the dairy. It can cause all sorts of breakouts and reactions. You can probably add it back in after a few months, or test it after a bit and see if you react. Also, my dad had a horrible itchy rash over his entire body last year. He never goes to the doctor for anything, but he took...
