    Total Gym XLS

    Hi everyone! I'm so excited that my new total gym xls arrived today and I LOVE it! I used to have a similar (crappy, different brand) version of this in the past and I thought they were all kind of bad. Then I went to a physical therapy convention this spring where I got to try one of their...

    My UPS man is such a tease!

    I know you guys will appreciate this. So, my STS Cardio was scheduled to arrive today. So, of course I was SO excited when the UPS truck backs into my driveway. But then he just drove off! I went outside and checked the front door, the side door, the side of the house--no STS! So I go to...

    http://www.good.is/post/stop-teaching-handwriting/ She makes some good points, but I just can't agree that kids should stop learning to read and write cursive. What do you think?

    Fresh Young Coconut :)

    Hi Catheland! I just had to share that I got a young/Thai coconut over the weekend and just had it as a post work-out meal. I blended the water with the flesh--it was so amazing! Delicious, refreshing, light, just great. I will definitely be buying these often. I've always been intimidated...

    What's good/bad about drinking distilled water

    Hi all! I'm looking to replace my brita water robot (that's what I call it, it's basically a brita water cooler/heater). I saw a countertop water distiller that look good, but I've heard there's some controversy about drinking distilled water (like it removes minerals which are helpful). Then...

    Do you ever wonder...

    If our political differences are all just a distraction to keep us from noticing that we the people no longer have a voice? I don't know who does run the country (banks and corporations?) but I know it is most definitely not us. I'm a liberal, I watch Olbermann and Maddow, others here love...

    Hi Everyone, I've been pretty MIA lately but I just had to share with you my recent (re)discovery of lentils. OMG, these little guys fit the bill in soooo many ways. Here's my list of what I love about lentils: 1. CHEAPER THAN DIRT: I pay $1.19 for a 1-lb bag and that yielded 7 generous...

    What about the released journalists?

    Hi all, I've been waiting for someone to start a thread on this momentous occasion, but no one did so here I am! :D For me, seeing Laura Ling and Euna Lee get off the plane was a moment I will always remember. I can just imagine how they felt when they saw Clinton in that room and knew they...

    Loving the neti-pot

    Hello all. I just started using a neti-pot and I can't believe how much I love it. I knew about it before but for some reason didn't want to give it a chance. I've been using it to breathe better (no major sinus issues, but some stuffiness now and then), and it works very well for that. But...

    Naughty kitty

    So my little darling kitty Delilah (she's in my avatar) has been doing a bad thing. She's been licking the paint on one of the windowsills. We've saw it happen for the first time last week and tried to stop her. This morning she was at it again and then vomited up paint chips. Now the window...

    Remember "Deep Thoughts" by Jack Handy?

    I love "Deep Thoughts" and have all the books. A few of my faves: As we were driving, we saw a sign that said "Watch for Rocks." Marta said it should read "Watch for Pretty Rocks." I told her she should write in her suggestion to the highway department, but she started saying it was a joke -...

    Can I brag? :)

    This beach is about a 20 minute walk from my front door. I walked there last evening and watched the sunset. Turns out that despite the old joke, long walks on the beach are actually pretty awesome. And it's 82 degrees and sunny today so I'm considering taking a dip this evening. :)...
