    Maybe you didn't specify what "things" you wanted moving and he thought it was your intestines? LOL!

    The whole "eat spicy food/mexican food" is useless for me. I live in Texas so I eat good tex-mex frequently, and I'm from south Louisiana so I love spicy food. It would result in no change in my diet!

    Really? I may have to try it just to try it. lol. So far, walking, jumping off curbs, giant bouncy ball, sex, pineapple, and yoga HAVE NOT WORKED.

    Y^Y oy vey. Mexican food it is! :P Except the hubs is on a diet, I might have to wait until Saturday so it doesn't effect his weekly weigh in.

    I have no luck with these old wives tale things...
