I knew crunches were the best, can't do those, I end up hurting my back and my neck and the abs get absolutely no workout. Karuna, I shall check out the pilates, I did see one "core" exercise on TV for some fitness stuff that I think I can manage, so maybe with that and the pilates stuff, I can make something up. Thanks guys. Julie, I would just get in the back and start squirting it on the moving parts until the squeaking stops. I suppose you have to be able to safely get behind the dryer to see the moving parts.

Dipo, Herckleperckle posted some exercises in her folder quite some time back that looked like a fairly good workout for somebody who can't do a lot of risky stuff. You might ask her, although she is not posting a whole lot lately.

Y2, THANKS!!! It is gas! Also I had no idea it was my anniversary. Weird to think I have been here FIVE years!!! Man, my little guy was only TWO when I joined. He was even younger when I first started lurking... Time flies!!! (And on the other hand, I have not aged a bit!)

You're welcome Julieboo. Five years ago, my "little guy" was an adoring pre-teen who thought his mother was the smartest person in the world. Last month he turned 19 and I am no longer the smartest in the world. In fact, sometimes I hardly know enough to keep putting one foot in front of the other.. (not really) He still loves me, but I am no longer his number one source of info. HOWEVER my mother tells me this is temporary, I will regain my number one status in about 2 years when he truely becomes an adult and realizes I do know what I'm talking about.

Dipo, walking up stairs can strengthen your abs IF you hold in your stomach while you're doing it, make sure your back is straight up (rather than too arched or leaning backwards) and exaggerate your leg movements (pull your knees up high) as if you're walking up really tall steps. Any large movement of your legs like that can help strengthen the core, but it's not really the same as proper abs exercises. Have you thought about getting one of those stability balls? A lot of people get on really well with doing abs exercises while on a stability ball, because it helps get you in the right position. On the other hand I've just got one and I'm having a hard time with it, I can't quite get it right! Oh, and those ab-roller machines make it much much easier to do sit-ups without stressing your neck and back. They're small and they really do work. You used to be able to find them anywhere but they've been taken over by those ab-loungers now. Here's one at amazon, there are a few more options there if you search for ab-roller. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Ab-Roller-Pro-Assist/dp/B00025JUX6

So I can spray WD40 if the dryer is gas as long as it is cool? And what am I aiming the WD40 on in the back?

You probably want to spray it on the pulley or gear that drives your belt. It really depends on how it's made. To get to the pulleys and belts you may have to turn the dryer over or on it's side in order to take the cover off. It'd be best if you can determine where the squeak is. yeah...you can spray WD40 on it...I think that's what Y2krazy meant...don't spray on a hot/warm dryer as you might cause a flame which in turn can ignite your gas line. If the dryer is cool, there should be no chance of causing a flame...unless there's a pilot lite. I'm not real familiar with Gas Dryers...all the ones I've ever messed with are electric.

I am looking for a name of a song. It's country. Some of the lyrics are "I've had my moments"... "...to do what I didn't think I could do". I really like the song. Thanks.

This? (I must go to bed, lol)
quote: (center text) (Annie Tate/Sam Tate/Dave Berg) I was coming to the end of a long long walk When a man crawled out of a cardboard box Under the E. Street Bridge Followed me on to it I went out halfway across With that homeless shadow tagging along So I dug for some change Wouldn't need it anyway He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed He said, You know, I haven't always been this way I've had my moments, days in the sun Moments I was second to none Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do Like that plane ride coming home from the war That summer my son was born And memories like a coat so warm A cold wind can't get through Lookin' at me now you might not know it But I've had my moments I stood there tryin' to find my nerve Wondering if a single soul on Earth Would care at all Miss me when I'm gone That old man just kept hanging around Lookin' at me, lookin' down I think he recognized That look in my eyes Standing with him there I felt ashamed I said, You know, I haven't always felt this way I've had my moments, days in the sun Moments I was second to none Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do Like the day I walked away from the wine For a woman who became my wife And a love that, when it was right, Could always see me through Lookin' at me now you might not know it But I've had my moments I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight That old man tells his story one more time He says I've had my moments, days in the sun Moments I was second to none Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge When a young man almost ended it I was right there, wasn't scared a bit And I helped to pull him through Lookin' at me now you might not know it Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it But I've had my moments I've had my moments I've had my moments

Can anybody tell me the name of the free site to see if there are sex offenders living in your neighborhood? I cannot remember what thread I was in but there was a link, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Juju and Kitt! ONe of my co-workers showed me an exercise she saw on sit and be fit where you lift your bent leg up while holding in your stomach, that one seems to work well! I am going to do the stair thing at least once a day just because it can't hurt me, LOL, and maybe I will get buns of steel, hahahahahahaha!

Denecee, that one does not have ALL of the sex offenders. Your best bet is to google the name of your state sex offenders (ie: Illinois Sex Offenders) and you should get a more official, updated listings. With the Illinois one, you have to click that you agree to a disclaimer. Then you put in the zip code and the county.
