    Weight Gloves ?

    I hate using heavy gloves when I spar with someone in boxing. It's challenging to get your hands to move fast. I'm much speedier and more dangerous with my 8 oz fight gloves :) You definitely don't want more than 16 oz!!

    Jumping Rope -- A Cardio Alternative

    I've noticed a few people on these forums have asked what a good alternative cardio activity is to running. Jumping rope is an obvious answer. I'm recovering from a tibial stress fracture (due to running, not jumping rope), so even the jumping motion is a bit too high impact for me. I love...

    How Do You Store Your DVD Collection?

    I'm wondering how many DVD's you have and how you store them? I have about 100 or so, which I've been stashing in the spots in my TV stand. Do you have a particular storage/organization system you've developed? How about a cabinet (something online, at Best Buy, etc.) to keep them out of...

    Scar treatment

    I have a bad scare from open-heart surgery two years ago. The scar doesn't go all way up to my neck. Instead, they gave me a different incision that sort of goes in a T-shape across the top. So I can wear sports bras, for example, and you can't tell the scar is there. I've seen my...

    The Secret is out!

    I am not trying to trash anyone's belief system. I don't think any single system holds the complete Truth and I think that all systems have some piece of the Truth. I have these kinds of discussions with people I know and people I don't all the time. Typically we end up having a beer...

    The Secret is out!

    Well I guess the publishers and "teachers" of The Secret are the ones who've found The Secret. I can't imagine how much money people have made selling this stuff! Plus it seems to have pumped a lot of money into direct marketing and internet-based-stay-at-home businesses because it seems a...
