  2. friends

  certain people are in positions that can affect us.

  certain family members or jws can make our lives miserable.. some politicians, we would be happy to see them or at least their terms expire.. certain sports figures, religious leaders, actors, and other types cold be on our "wish list" to get out of our brains.. can you think of anyone that you wouldn't mind ever hearing about again??

  Reward the behavior you want repeated. Sounds like you're in a position of authority. If so, setting objectives is a good first step, but don't overwhelm people with all the changes you want to make. This group has been at it for awhile, it's unlikely you'll be able to change overnight.

  If you're eating tofu, you may consider skipping that. There are other foods besides soy that are goitrogenic:

  Avoid chlorinated water, drinking spring water or water filtered via reverse osmosis. You can also buy filters for your shower and tub that filters chlorine out. Also avoid fluoride in toothpaste and water.
  
  Chiropractors say that if the spine in the neck is out of alignment, that will affect thyroid functioning as well.

  freyd, What's the payoff, for whom? The man or woman? I think each person has to define the payoff for himself/herself. Some women do want the financial security, but I wouldn't make a sweeping generalization stating that's what ALL women are looking for. (I'm financially secure, so that's not of utmost important to me.)

  Slipping and sliding down the slip n slide.
  Playing kickball and badminton in the evenings after the heat of the day subsided.
  Staying up to 2AM playing Monopoly.
  Putting records on the turntable and dancing like crazy fools.
  Sitting in front of the window unit air conditioner, pointing all the vents at me while I buried my nose in a Nancy Drew mystery.
  Making fairy necklaces out of clover.
  Climbing up the mimosa trees, sitting and stripping the leaves.
  Spritzing each other with the water hose.
  Flying kites.
  
  And I ask, what prevents me from doing any of this now?
