Thanks for the recommendations. Janie--I'm always looking for more cushioning in a shoe, and I'll keep up the hunt. Right now I'm using Ryka's N-Gage Studio Mid and XT. I think it's more of an age thing with my knees. I'll be 40 next month, which is not old by any means, but I think years of...

Just wondering if anyone uses insoles in their athletic shoes and, if so, whether you think they help. My knees get stiff and a bit sore from working out sometimes. Perhaps insoles would help. Any recommendations? Have a great night!

Hi Lorrie, I don't know if it will help, but just as an example, my husband and I have 2 kids, 3 and 5, and I am the only one with contact lenses/glasses. We are all currently in good health. We have put aside $50/month, or $600/year, and it comes out just about right for routine...

Congratulations! Now that you got your first one under your belt and know the "lay of the land" as far as walking races, I'm sure you can pass up those pesky women in front of you, no problem. GET OUT OF THE WAY, LADIES -- COMING THROUGH!! Your speed is very impressive to me -- I remember...

Angela, I also thought the Under Armour Proto Power Trainers would be best for step and KB (the description emphasizes cushioning for impact). The Speed Trainers seem geared toward running, and the Proto Evades fell like they have a lot of lateral stability, but they did not seem to have...

No, indeed. She is no less culpable, and her crimes no less heinous, today than before she became ill. I believe her medical condition to be totally irrelevant to her culpability and the penalty she should pay for her crimes. Her crimes are more horrible than many for which defendants...

My husband sets it at around 72 or 73, and every time I walk past the controller I move it up to 74 or 75. Then he moves it back down to 72 when he walks past it. It's not that I'm cold when it's set on 72/73, I just cringe when I think of our bill. When he's not home, I usually keep it at...

It's #2 for me. I have Imax 3, but the last time I did it, my knees ached for days. It could have been a coincidence, but Imax 3 is very high impact, so I suspect it was the culprit! Have a great day!

My DD drew a rather large picture of a girl on my dining table (finished wood) with a Sharpie! Nothing worked -- until I tried the Magic Eraser. It took a little bit of the finish off, but you can hardly tell, and it looks way better than it did with the giant Sharpie girl on it.

I don't like my legs, but I try not to dwell on it. The lower part of my legs has very little shape, because my ankles are kind of thick. It is not something I can change with exercise -- I just don't have skinny ankles. Sometimes I get discouraged when I see women at the store or the pool...

Up until a year or so ago, I was a criminal prosecutor for 6 years and LOVED it. Some of the trials were pretty stressful, but I felt great at the end when the jury did the right thing (which was not always!). I find criminal law so intersting (you wouldn't believe some of the stuff we'd see)...

My husband and I have every season of X-files on disc, and we've watched them all multiple times. We are huge X-files fans. When we lived in LA, my friend's husband was a writer for X-files, so we got to go hang out on the set and watch a filming. Very cool. My husband got to play golf with...

I'm so sad for your loss. I will send my thoughts your way. Hang in there,

I really like the taste (and convenience!) of Gardenburger Veggie Burgers. The ingredients don't look so bad, but they are processed of course. The ingredients are: Ingredients Cooked Brown Rice, Broccoli, Corn, Carrots, Bell Peppers (Red, Green), Onions, Rolled Oats, Canola Oil, Water...

Hi LauraMax, I will turn 40 in August, and I often find myself thinking the very thoughts you describe. Sometimes I will fixate on certain wrinkles, or my no-longer-perky boobs, or some other part of my body that looks . . . well . . . 40ish. This may not work for you, and it may sound...

Hello again. Glad to see some more folks chimed in, although I'm sorry you're getting a lot of "I get up early" responses. To answer your questions, I do have to get to bed earlier to get up. If I'm not asleep by 9:30 or 10:00, it's VERY hard to get up. I often resent having to go to be...

I hear you. Both my husband and I were stung in bed when we lived in Texas. I also found one on my daughter's pillow right before I put her in bed. (Needless to say, I killed that one before he got a chance to sting her.) Even my little late chihuahua, Gordon, got stung on his snout! Poor...

I don't know the answer to your question about two 30-minute workouts vs. one 60-minute workout, but I just wanted to say that I sympathize with your dilema. I work and have 2 girls, ages 3 and 5. I generally have to get up at 4:15 or 4:30 so I can exercise before my girls wake up and before...

I'm with you, Tneah. Even in the summer, I rarely pull on shorts. Yoga type pants are much more flattering on me. The exercise just doesn't seem to get rid of those little wrinkles over my knees! (Plus, I've never had those nice slim ankles that many women have -- even women who've never...

Congratulations on your new pup! What a wonderful thing it is to adopt a pet who needs a home. We adopted one a little over a year ago and every time I see the adoptions going on at PetSmart, it breaks my heart not to take them all home. Wish I could help them all, but one is certainly a...
