I found that a lot of people thought I was doing an "old" thing when I took up knitting, too, but as time went on, I found out that saying that I was doing an "old" hobby was just their way of saying that they are jealous of the fact that I can knit or crochet. In fact, what I've found is...

I'm not an expert, especially on homeowner's insurance, but I have lived in a trailer before. I think that the reason that the insurance company may not want to cover the loss is because perhaps the the method that was used to thaw the pipes is NOT recommended (although, if he used a small...

Thank you! As always, I am continually amazed at how closely SNM/Cathe listens to our requests. It works beautifully and really helps - thank you again very much!

Hoffmasa - thanks for the link. I hope that this can be changed. I wonder about the brower thing - it's the same for me whether I'm using Firefox or Internet Explorer. I wonder which browser shows it fully?

Is there any way in the next update of the workout manager that the full title of the DVD can be shown in the drop down? As it is now, you must guess which DVD it is. For instance, for the 4-day split, it lists all four titles, but you can't see the complete title. Maybe I'm missing...

I think it's on the Pure Strength DVD - not sure, but I remember learning to do deadlifts much better after pulling that oldie but goodie out one day. I'm sorry - I don't know of a way to search.

I'm mostly a lurker here, but a dedicated, long-time Cathe fan. I wanted to drop a note to say THANK YOU to Lunacat, Annette Aquajock, and LainieFig for developing, maintaining, and posting the Cathe Compendium. Briefly - I was working too much OT, and had to cut out workouts because it...

I have a very dear friend who is terribly obese and has had to buy 2 seats for flights for years. It got to be so embarassing for him that he eventually decided to drive instead of fly whereever he goes, which really limits his vacations. As for the prop plane in India - if the plane can...

I would consider heeding the advice of Carola. I fed both my cats Hills' Science Diet - one for diabetes, and one for kidney disease. Although my cats showed a small improvement initially, one cat eventually had to be put down because of the diabetes (I simply could not afford insulin shots...

Check out Walmart.com - I got mine there and the price was $20-$30 cheaper than at Cathe.com., which would more than make up for the 20% coupon.

I really don't know if the dairy in the milk will make him hyper once it's been turned into yogurt. I do know that those people who are lactose intolerant digest yogurt better than they do milk, and that it is considered a good food to give those who are lactose intolerant. Apparently, the...

Love making my own yogurt - anybody see the recall of Stonyfield yogurt this past week?? I've been using this yogurt maker: http://www.amazon.com/Salton-YM7-42-Ounce-Electric-Yogurt/dp/B000FG0TSM It's pretty good, although I had a glass jar break shortly after I bought it, and customer...

You are not a bad person because you don't want children. As another poster (or two!) has mentioned, you are displaying good judgement. If you don't think that parenting is for you, then it isn't - period. I see a lot of posters here have mentioned that you may change your mind over time...

Besides creating stability during those moves that call for the slanted bench (not just in STS!), they also help raise the bench a little higher. I didn't have enough risers to get my bench as high as it should be for a lot of STS, but with the 2 slanted risers on one side, I can make up the...

I wondered if I had done the 1RM properly, too, since those weights just keep getting heavier and heavier as you go along. I suggest that you try what's on the workout card, and if you find that your form really falls apart by the last reps, lower the weights. You might be surprised...

Leg presses will make an incredible difference in the lift of the butt. I am not thin or in good shape, by any means, but I often get compliments from a couple of women at work about the lift of my butt. I HATE leg presses - but, my gosh, they work!

I would not have wasted about 15 years partying and going out all the time! Although I had a great time, and learned lots about people during that time, I wasted a lot of time, too. I used to have this idea that I needed to go whenever anybody ever asked me to go do anything. I should have...

Thanks, everyone, for your advice. I think what I'll probably do is take a few days (3-4) "off," doing some light cardio of some type and then jumping back into the next mesocycle. I appreciate your input.

I'm coming up for my "week off" from STS. I generally cannot follow the rotations exactly as they are set out in the STS program, i.e. life gets in the way, and I wind up having 2 or even sometimes 3 days off from working out during the week. Is the rest week still so imperative? I thought...

If you have a sewing machine and some heavy duty fabric (I cut up a pair of old jeans), you can sew a gadget that will work for your tubing. I took a few dowels, broke them into small (3-4 inch) pieces, wrapped them in a few layers of the jeans material, sewed all the edges, then sewed on a...
