    Happy Birthday!! How does it feel? My big 4-0 is next month and I think I am handling it really well. I just wonder if when the day arrives does that change at all?

    oatmeal

    Steel cut is a huge improvement right off the bat. I don't know if you are using this or the regular oats, but I highly recommend the crunchiness of steel cut. I add cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried fruit. I get the big bags at Costco my kids pick what to put in. Dried cranberries (craisins is...

    Trip to Hawaii -- advice

    I agree with both posts here. You can't go wrong with any island, but I have to say there is something simple about Oahu for the first trip. There is a ton of stuff to do and you can get as urban (Honolulu) or as rural (North Shore) as you want to get. The other thing I have found is that the...

    I did it, and now I'm giddy and scared!!

    Thanks for the encouragement! That is a big part of what pushed me over, the fact that many people who have them absolutely love them. I have three kids whom I homeschool, and when winter hits we do spend a lot of days cozied up in the house. We still get out to ski/shovel/cross country ski...

    I did it, and now I'm giddy and scared!!

    After more than a year of pondering and months of researching, I finally ordered a treadmill today!! I am so excited, yet I have not told my husband yet. Yikes! Kind of kooky, I know, but I will be able to tell him that I earned the money on the side and paid for it debt free, and I am...

    shopping!

    Welcome to the Bay Area! Where are you from originally? I know there are a few Cathe-ites in the Bay, so you should connect. I am in the Sierras, but visit there often. Easy to get lost, and much to do, so be careful! Dani is the one who really talked about Lucky jeans as far as I can...

    What to do with evening bag during party

    Oh, Madonna, I feel for ya! This is one reason I hate going out. I live in a small mountain town and can feel overdressed in a nice sweater. I cannot imagine the agony of how to carry a purse! Sorry I am not much help, but hopefully someone empathizing and telling you this is not a silly...

    Wow! Calling all who are 40+

    Nancy, Do you know if this is available anywhere else besides the website posted? I am thinking Costco, Target, WalMart etc....you know, retail. Maybe a good health food store or Trader Joes?

    Preordered in the nick of time

    I wasn't quite as close to the wire as you, but I did finally order today. Our paycheck is direct deposit on the 1st but since that falls on the weeked this time, it goes in early. Phew!! Power Hour is one of my favorites of all time. It is a toss up between that and Muscle Endurance...

    Wandering, random thoughts for a Tuesday

    Speaking of nasty things thrown from cars...What is it with various plastic bottles full of yellowish liquid? My husband swears that it is the "Truckers Toilet" and I can't bear to think that all of that trash is really someone's pee. Not that I care they are too busy to pull over and will use...

    O/T Moms, is this a bad idea?

    From a kid perspective I think they sound fun, but possibly only temporarily. As a mom they would drive me nuts. I try to minimize the crazies in the house, but mainly because our home is small for all of us. If kids were racing around it would be a zoo. I would also say it depends on what...

    Opinions re: Netflix

    I love it!!! Especially in the winter when snow makes driving a pain. If I don't want to go out to rent/return a movie I don't have to. Not to mention they have a wonderful selection of classics which I love....and not many video stores have the room or revenue to support too many good old...

    Cathe, you inspired a fun shopping trip today :o)

    RE: Amy! Phony Ponies are the best! I used mine quite a bit when I was growing out my hair beyond an awkward stage...another way to make it really cute waiting for it to get cute.

    Cooking question . . .

    Oh!! Let me look! We had a thread a while back about cooking salmon and I tell you it was the best recipe I have ever done for it....I was not raised eating much fish so I am a bit behind in this area. Here is the link...

    Treadmil Questions

    Hello Kimbra! I have been researching and saving money like mad for a treadmill for several months now. I will agree with Tammy that www.treadmilldoctor.com is the BEST site for research. Bottom line, what I have found is that this is one item that you really get what you pay for. It...

    Rita has reached Category 5 status

    Hey Jess, is 40 miles enough? I know nothing about hurricanes and how far inland they stay strong. I assume you will still get lots of wind and rain, but how far does that rating of a 5 go? I also heard that the tornadoes that follow can be even worse than the actual hurricane. I hope...

    WHAT ARE SCHOOLS DOING TO OUR KIDS????

    Not to take away from your original post, because I would be furious, but I just wanted to say that my daughter is named Mariah too! I don't see or hear it very often, so I just had to comment;-) I will add that you are right to be upset, and considering how much care you take to offer...

    That "time of the month"

    RE: That Hey Lisa, My time is usually awful! It keeps getting worse which is due to bein perimenopausal I'm sure. I tend to tank up on the water, but will add EmergenC to it the first couple of days of my actual period. I will only take a walk for exercise as well. The other part...
