    Sandra Brown hands down!!! She writes these thrillers and includes some naughty action in there too, lol. Really great books. I've read The Switch, The Witness and Mirror Image so far, and I really recommend them.

    I started one year ago drooling over videos on YouTube and now I am finally spinning on pole! (kinda, since I’m only beginning my third week, lol). Still can’t lift myself for more than a second, though… But I’m getting close! And that’s what matters. Progress 🙂

    Simply beautiful. Made me smile while watching her – I love dancers with a smile on their faces 🙂

    Klaus, my thoughts exactly! Whenever I feel soreness in my muscles, I say to my self ‘yeeeaaaah, I did good…’

    Two years ago… I made a promise I would never ever ever drink THAT MUCH as I did that night… Half a bottle of vodka (40%, try to stay alive from that, ha), 2/3 of a bottle of wine and a bottle of champagne. In that order. Yeah. Not much to remember from that night…

    My advice would be to not worry about your excerzise. Just be sure to not get a blood rush to the head, i.e. sitting or lying down after training. The pressure might make the area bleed. Make sure your head is above your body. That's what I'd tell my patients 🙂

    Thank you for the replies! I actually found out I can download it! :O I told my boyfriend about this, he searched on Pirate Bay and found loads! Αnd now he's interested too, yay! I really want a challenge and this seems like the best thing. MemphisKitten, keep us posted on the results! I'm interested in everyone's experience and reviews on this 🙂

    I was wondering… I eat healthy almost all the time… What if I stayed with my own healthy diet and just add the extra protein that's needed?

    June 24, 2012 at 4:16 pm in reply to: Anyone else have a teenage daughter they want to throttle?

    Thank you 🙂 I guess, every mother has her own perspective of how to raise and educate their children, so it's hard to tell them – hey, what you're doing is wrong. And every mother would be deeply hurt if she was told that she was doing a bad job raising her kids.

    All I know is that when I have my children, I won't forbid them to have a social life. Because the forbidden fruit is always the sweetest. And if you keep your children tied close to you, they are bound to make drastic desicions when they have a chance. Clearly I am a good example 🙂 I'm not proud of what I am about to do but I just have no other option. Whenever I try to talk about this with my mom, she ends up being hurt and I end up being the guilty one.

    Warrents, that's a good idea. Made me remember Nadia Sharif's performance, where she added some tango elements and it looked so amazing! Ηere's the link:

    My story will also be from the teenager's point of view. All my life my mom (for no particular reason, whatsoever) has made huge restictions in my life. When I was 15-16, I was supposed to be home at 4p.m., through the years up to now I have fought to win three more hours of out-of-home time. So now, the latest I can be out is 7p.m. I am 20 years old. My mom WILL NOT even consider the idea of me moving out to live on my own because, well… she said so. That's it. At some points her behaviour may seem as being overprotective, but at times (as she stated HERSELF, when she would be in a bad mood) that it is to make me feel worse. She felt safe if I had no friends, meaning I wouldn't get influenced and wouldn't get any bad habits like smoking, drinking or drugs (although, I am completely against that, I don't tolerate that, but she doesn't believe me). At one point I started seeing this guy. This was last year, when I was 19 years old. He was a medical student, aged 22. And I thought – hey, maybe I should tell her that I have a man beside me? Because he would protect me if I go out someplace and I would be safe. That  was a mistake. She didn't like the fact at all, and the main reason why she didn't like it was that his parents weren't smartly educated, meaning that they had simplier jobs, if I can say that. His mom was a dressmaker and I can't remember what his dad did. Anyway, she did all she could in her power for me to see him less and less and eventually break up, what did happen. Even before this event, I was already socializing with my mother very very VERY rarely because she wouldn't like anything I told her about my friends and classmates and forbid me doing it (nothing bad, I mean, things like going to the lake or an evening out in town). So I just stopped communicating with my family – I'm saying family because my mom is the head of the house and her word is the last one in the family, so everybody listens to her. I just don't trust them anymore. And right now I have secretly been dating a guy for more than a year. I love him so much, he's such a nice guy that I don't want to screw it up again by telling my family about him. And because of the silly restrictions I am also moving out next week and my family still doesn't know that. I feel horrible for doing that but I just have to fight for my right to live a fullfilled social life. I have never been a bad child. I have never been seriously in trouble apart from trying to gain more freedom and in that way being a bit of a rebel by coming home an hour later.

    I'm sorry for this very long story of my life but let it be something you can look up to – if you try to restrain your daughter too much, you're bound to lose her. And I wish that doesn't happen to you because it seems you have a lovely daugter and I hope you won't ruin your relationship like I did.

    My goodness… From 10.000 to 250.000 dollars? Seriously? Why not send the child to a dance or music school for that money, which can actually be useful… In my opinion, all those pageants do is make children spoiled. With ruined skin, ruined hair and a ruined perception of beauty. And I'm sorry, but it seems that those moms just need a doll to play with and they choose their daughters for that…
