    OK, Anyone Else Excited for the new Star Trek Flick?

    I almost lost my coffee when I read your post :D Spock, Bones and Scotty were always my favourite of the original crew. Now that it's almost here, I can't wait to see the new film - I just hope this dratted cold of mine is gone by Thursday so I can see it on the day it comes out :)

    OK, Anyone Else Excited for the new Star Trek Flick?

    Oooh yes definitely. I'm hoping that my cold will have cleared by the time it comes out here so I can see it on the day it comes out. Star Wars will always be my first SciFi cinema love but Star Trek comes a close second :)

    I need advice

    Nancy, there's only one thing for it and that's to label your ice cream and rig it up as shown here on this old advert for a chocolate sold in the UK on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG3isfUKPb0 :p :D Seriously though, I sympathise with you both! Perhaps you could suggest a deal such...

    Mothers Day problem

    It's your husband's Mum and as you said, she has an incurable form of lung cancer. Why not ask him what he would like? Personally I'd set aside my own drama and make it a Mother's Day for all of you.

    How often do you weigh yourself?

    Congratulations on reaching your goal :) :) I measure myself about once or twice a year depending on what sort of year I am having :p but weigh myself? EEEEEK! Nope. I gave that up as a bad thing (ymmv ;) ) in my teenage years and I've never looked back. Occasionally I might get weighed by a...

    weird precision nutrition blog entry

    Sorry but I think it's just you :) This is helpful, positive stuff. I can't find anything negative here and I did try. This article looks targeted at a man who wants to include his beloved in his other passion: the pursuit of fitness. Not all women know where to begin when they decide they want...

    Fitness Misconceptions

    I resolutely disagree. You will see a marked and noticeable change in your appearance after six or eight weeks and that is something I have experienced personally in my own body and seen in others. It's not as marked or as noticeable as it is after a year of effort but it's there and it's...

    Airlines to charge obese customers extra

    When I fly, I usually fly long-haul and my experience so far has been quite good. At first, my biggest worry was whether there would be children on the flight and whether they would be quiet :p On a 20 hour flight, that sort of stuff matters :cool: And there was! Every single time. And each time...

    Star system: not so much

    I've seen this rating system used on other fora around the Internet and when used well, it's actually quite useful. Once the novelty wears off, hopefully it will be used to highlight threads that contain useful information and particularly inspirational stories.

    Book Readers

    If you are looking for well-written police-procedural style series that make you really think then you need to try: Karin Slaughter's Grant County series - start with Blindsighted. It's strong stuff so if you're squeamish, don't touch it. Val McDermid... anything by Val. She's a fantastic...

    I just can't gain weight! Darn it!!!

    Hi Charlotte, I think this could be one of four things: -- You haven't given yourself enough time yet. Some people gain more quickly than others and some are what's called "hard gainers". -- Your body just may not be able to make the shape and size you are looking for. -- You aren't...

    All of you computer experts out there....

    What Dave and CarmenElectra said. You either have a duff install of Acrobat, a PC in need of a good tidy up or a computer that is no longer powerful enough. In addition to reinstalling, try the following, defrag your harddisk: Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools >...

    Has anyone done “Hardcore Kickbox Circuit” with Janis Saffell?

    Yes. HKC ROCKS! It's a lot of fun, there's a lot of variety, it's split between kickboxing and toning (there's also a great akido add-on if you get the DVD version) that works really well. The instruction is excellent (unless you are a first timer in which case it won't be enough for you) and...

    Have you heard about this?

    Er.. yes, it's been going on for years. I've never heard it called power cooking though. I guess the title is a new thing? I'm glad you liked it. I used to do that sort of thing a lot and sometimes we would have days where a few of us would get together in one of our kitchens and cook...

    LOST was AWESOME!! (spoilers)

    I've just finished watching it and really enjoyed it. I still can't make up my mind whether I am more curious or disappointed with what was in the hatch. Lost reminds me of Riverworld and I'd like to know what Philip Jose Farmer thinks of it. I wonder if any of them are actually alive? As...

    For Those Who Asked About Spamalot
