A-jock, This works for me! I don't really care where we meet. I'm pretty good in Minneapolis now and all southern suburbs.

Go You! It takes an enormous amount of gumption to face a fear, and you did it! 86% is great! I remember helping my girls study for their tests, thinking I would not do too well if I had to take it over again after all these years. I can only parallel park on street with no traffic so...

I'd love to meet some of the other Cathe-ites (since I can't go on the Road Trip, this will be as close as I will probably get). Weekends work best for me since it is a 3-hour drive one-way. DD attends the U of M and we make this drive a lot so it's not a big deal. Please don't let my...

I do like the Caramel Delight but find it is too sweet on its own so I eat it mixed with my Cheerios - 2/3 c. Cheerios to 1/3 c. Fiber One. I have always loved Cheerios but they don't have as much fiber as I would like and the Caramel Delight is too sweet on its own. I only eat cereal on...

RE: Opinions on Patricia Moreno's Kickbox Core Cross Tr... I just opened this one tonight. I did the 26 minute - core workout and I LOVED it! I have not even previewed the other portions but feel this part alone is worth it. The video clips do not do it justice. She shows you a move...

One of my coworkers often says - "Can you be more pacific?" Kills me every time.

I really like my high step!! I have 6 risers but usually only use 5 for most of the exercises. I do have both High Step Training Advanced and High Step and High Step Challenge - both have their fans see a couple of the numerous threads discussing them here...

RE: Those who've quit smoking, do you consider yourselv... I am a non-smoker who still (after 25 years) wants to bum cigarette from someone after I have had a couple of drinks. There are some associations that are just hard to break. Maybe in those instances, I am a recovering nicoholic...

Thanks everyone. I was in Hy-Vee tonight and saw they had the scented Yesterday's news for $5.89 and the Breeze cat litter system for $29.99. DH wanted to try the Yesterday's news first because he thought the cats would like it better than the Breeze system (and it's cheaper). I bought a...

My cats are driving me nuts! DH said that Tidy Cat Scoop was really dusty so I changed to Fresh Scoop but they have been tracking that stuff all over the house!! So I tried Arm & Hammer and that is worse. There is a Tidy Cat Breeze system that I saw in Wal-Mart with big pellets. Has anyone...

Beth, "Not one drop on my white jammies" How about if you sweat? Last summer, I swore off tanners because if I sweat even a little in bed, it would leave a brown stain on the sheets. (I'm perimenopausal so sometimes the night sweats have me sweating more than a little bit.) Please tell...

Here's one I used to make with my kids all the time. Good-For-You Gems 1/2 c. dry milk 1/2 c. honey 1/2 c. peanut butter 1 1/2 c. granola (divided) Combine dry milk, honey, peanut butter and 3/4 c. granola and knead mixture until combined. Shape into balls (works better if hands...

I really like these apples too!! They were developed at the U of MN specifically for cooler growing climates. They are a fairly early harvest apple and can be found in the stores starting in mid-Sept. They are not as easy to locate as some types of apples, and if your store doesn't carry them...

We hit a skunk in Oct. and ran the car through one of those touchless car washes once that night and again the next day. It really didn't do a lot to eliminate the odor. I had to leave the car out in the driveway for about a week before the odor went away. What really made a difference was...

I just got the York vertical weight rack for Christmas and I really like it. I have 30#, 25#, 20# and 15# in gray cast-iron hex dumbbells and they all fit great. I have a pair of 12# soft-neoprene dumbbells that are contoured for easier gripping, but these don't fit because they are not...
