    I love, love, love Low Impact Series!

    I haven't posted on this forum for years, but I have to tell you that this workout series is amazing. I am rapidly approaching 50, just months short of a half century, yikes! I've been doing Cathe's workouts for at least a decade. I love them, but I've been struggling with joint issues lately...

    Teachers do you feel offended , . . .

    absolutely not! I feel bad about having to ask. I am both, a teacher and a parent. I think its a shame that schools have to do fund raisers etc. In all honesty,educating your child is all I can handle. I didn't participate in my daughter's school fund raiser this year. I didn't have time, and I...

    Do you know anything about Kangen Water?

    I found this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK99MGpnAls It compares water systems that create this ionized water. They don't even include the kangen system because it is so expensive due to being a mlm scheme. There is some good info here. I also found this website...

    Do you know anything about Kangen Water?

    My friend has started drinking this water. From the literature it sounds like they monkey with the structure of the water via electolysis to change the PH. The idea is to make the water more alkaline to help bring balance to a person's system. Nutshell, the claim is that as we age our systems...

    Jai and Lorraine

    I did that one today and paused it for a minute to deal with a dog issue. When I turned back to the screen I notice how high they were actually kicking. In freeze frame they are kicking level with the top of their heads at least in this frame. I'm lucky if I clear my waist. They are outstanding...

    Another dog Question (Beagle)

    Two questions.Is he neutered? If so, was it recently? That urge to mark things diminishes, although not completely, over time after a dog has been neutered. I just saw the lady we got Patsy from do this: She took and cut an elastic bandage down to fit around the dogs belly and then cut a...

    Low Max AKA Spagetti Legs!

    I've had this DVD for awhile, but never really done it. I got several at the same time and the choreography challenged me on this one. I just couldn't get the step sweeps for some reason. Got them good today. Something clicked. I did the first 4 intervals today and that was enough. I take my hat...

    We adopted a new dog today!

    I posted on here about a week or so ago that we were thinking of adopting a dog. She's had heartworms, but has gone through treatment. She is precious. Her name is Patsy. She and our dog Buster, a cocker mix, are getting to know each other. They are in the cold shoulder stage right now. She's a...

    Critter in my house!! Mortifying! (LONG)

    steel wool I'm reading this post and a wire under the desk rubs up against my toe. I about jump out of my skin! This won't get rid of them, but can help keep them out. Put steel wool in cracks around plumbing. I mean cram it in there tight! They can't chew through it. I hope it's not a...

    Talk about insanity .....

    That's alot, but I cut my own dogs hair, and let me tell you it's a lot more work than cutting a my daughter's hair. Petco is high, but I expect to pay at least $50 when I take may dog into get groomed. It is a lot of back breaking work. Have you ever trimmed a dogs toe nails. It's horrifying...

    Thinking about adopting a 2nd dog

    I had a Lhasa for 16 years and lost her under tragic circumstances. She's been gone a little over a year, and we are thinking of adopting this adorable schnapso, schnauzer/lhasas mix. She is in a foster home right now. The deal is she tested positive for heartworms. She isn't very old(between 1...
