DH and I are looking for a hanging heavy bag with a stand and I was wondering if anyone had one they could recommend. Also, what bag weight would you get - we were looking at 70-80 pounds. TIA! Erica

What a great gift/surprise!!! Erica

I have three teenage boys and they really prefer cash, but they ask for gift cards because I think asking for cash seems rude. I'm having trouble coming up with stocking stuffers for them, though. All they like is junk food and money! Erica

You weren't actually wrong, there are different meanings of fall/autumn. Here is Merriam-Webster's definition of autumn: 1 : the season between summer and winter comprising in the northern hemisphere usually the months of September, October, and November or as reckoned astronomically...

This happened to us, too! My sons' teacher came in sick and told the students how sick and awful he felt and how three of his kids were very sick. Five days later, one of my boys got sick and ended up in urgent care and is going back to the doctor today because he has asthma and I'm worried...

If you're omniscient, why didn't you answer Lorrie's question about filming? :D Erica

It would have been nice if SNM just answered this with a yes or no, but in their update yesterday they said this: "We’re now finished filming Travel Fit and are currently working on the editing of TF and many other workouts from our new STS Shock Cardio series." This tells me that they are...

Running makes me very, very happy in a way no other cardio workout does. Running keeps me sane and I feel so accomplished and full of life when I run! Running also makes me appreciate how lucky I am to be healthy enough to run. :) Erica

Actually, there was a post by Chris in a thread in June saying that they planned on having the workouts filmed, edited and authored by the tour and we may even have our DVDs by then. Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. If we were given updates instead of having to...

That's not entirely true. We were told that the DVDs would be done in fall, but filming, editing and authoring would be done before the eggland tour this weekend. Since filming just started, that isn't going to happen. It would be nice to get updates on why the project has been pushed back...

I hate this, too. My SIL was told last year that there was very little hope for her when they found cancer in her stomach and that they should start with end of life issues because she was going to die very soon. My MIL wouldn't have any of that and wouldn't talk to the social workers and my...

Thanks for your post, Autumn. I'm very sorry about your friend. Cancer is such a horrible disease. My SIL had a lump on her breast when she was 28 years old. Showed her doctor and he said it was nothing. She waited a year and then showed a different doctor who diagnosed her with breast...

No, ds = dear son. Sorry! I do have twins that are high school freshmen, though. :) Erica

I think your ideas are wonderful. My ds (college freshman) got some personal gifts in high school from teachers he worked closely with and his boss at work and I know the gifts meant a lot to him and always will. Erica

That's for sure! :p Erica

That's awful!!! What a terrible thing to do to a kid! :( Erica

I have four kids and I do struggle with guilt over being torn between them and never feeling like what I do is enough for everyone. But, I will say that my children are very close - especially my three older boys. I have always said that the best gift I ever gave my oldest son was his...

Wow - this is just the opposite of the attitudes of many of the teachers in our district. They are acting like there has been no change in the economy and expecting a lot from parents. The thing I find most upsetting is that our high school has all kinds of trips planned for the kids that cost...

I run outdoors all winter long as long as the road conditions are good. I won't run if it's under 15 degrees Farenheit, but I suppose I could. I use a fleece headband to cover my ears when it's below freezing. I wear light gloves when it's cool, heavier fleece gloves when it's colder and I...

I didn't like DH when I first met him. He tricked me into going on a date with him and spending that time with him talking is what did it for me. We just seemed perfect for each other - the relationship came so easily. We were total opposites at the time and no one thought our relationship...
