PP 14:27 you quoted me. Thank you. I always say that I don't even want spirituality when I go to my synagogue, please don't force it on me when I exercise.

I'm sorry but I find it hard to believe that all the yoga classes around town are being frequented by those who are looking for inner enlighenment. They just want the flexibility training and whatever strength training is gained by doing yoga.

I understand that yoga is a spiritual practice, that it has been practiced for centuries, but not as it has been proliferated here in the U.S. Here it is just an excuse to stretch and wear expensive gear from Lucy or LuluLemon.

So why aren't they both in the better, cheaper parochial school?


Different environments for different kids. One size does not fit all.

Please give me some muscle screaming boot camp, Crossfit or an endorphin pumping run over yoga any day, in spite of the fact that I know yoga would be a good addition to this regular exercise. What can I say, I'm an endorphin junkie.


This!!

I love my prenatal yoga because it doesn't involve all the new age stuff, just the great exercise. In regulat classes, I end up feeling controlled, somehow, when I'm told to "look inward" and "see my light.". Gives me the heebie-jeebies.




This happens because you lack spirituality and you are not in tune with your true self. I feel sorry for you, dear.


PP, you're one of the Randian yoga folks I was saying I'm sick of. You do yoga or any type of exercise to feel superior to others.

People who believe that having a stroller or multiple children entitles them to use the handicapped stall. You're not handicapped. If it's the handicapped stall, you have no business being in there, whether or not you have your brood with you.

On a related note, I'm sick of hypocrisy. And self-centered people.


The catch is that the handicapped stall is often where the lone baby changing table is located in a public restroom, forcing parents who need to change a diaper to use that particular stall whether they want to or not.

The use of the word "snowflake" to refer to a child. Please, just stop.


Nope. I still like it.

People who always want to blame others.

Those that complain but never do anything about it

Mother's who talk about their childrens' special diet needs constantly (we are playing on the playground...)

feeling like nobody listens to me (kids, husband) Having to repeat myself multiple times and still I am ignored. When I've had enough and start yelling and being a bitch, all of a sudden everyone is listening and paying attention. Then later that day being asked by husband, "Why do you get so upset, you really don't have to yell?"

People who say "think outside the box". Usually they have no idea what they're talking about and can't give good suggestions on how to make this happen.
