I think it's important to distinguish between admiring someone for who they are and admiring or respecting them for a skill they have. I admire my sister - and she's a role model to me - for who she is (smart, patient, no-nonsense, honest etc). I respect Cathe for her fitness knowledge and I...

My first and favorite, Pearl, was attacked and killed by a hawk on Sunday. I fully expected that this might happen someday but still, it's a bummer, and I really wish I hadn't seen it. She was free-ranging but had wandered back into the run and the hawk was able to trap her in there. I know...

Just saw this!! In case you are still wondering, the consistency is more firm than a custard but not by much. :)

Who's to say his wife didn't already know? She wouldn't be the first woman to turn a blind eye for the bucks and glam. Maybe she's just ticked now that it's become a media circus. And who's to say she isn't doing the same? The media can spin as many stories as it wants but the reality is...

I'm so glad!! Isn't it yummy?? Funny thing is, I lost the recipe and could not find it for the life of me this year. Your post reminded that it was here in Catheland -----> I found it in the archives - WOOT! :D

I'm doing 30 Day Shred. Figure I'll do my penance beforehand. :D HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I think the brouhaha over saying Merry Christmas is somewhat ridiculous. But then I also thought it was ridiculous when several Christian friends were in a panic over the USPS "Happy Eid" stamp, saying that it was meant to usurp Xmas. When I told them that Eids fluctuate and don't always...

This. (posting more because the board says my message it too short :D)

Eat and not worry about it, that's my plan. :)

My nephew is 12 next month (time flies!) On his list are Wii games and accessories, hoodies and fleece sweats for hanging out. He also enjoys the sci-fi and fantasy series that are out, such as the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix. Gift cards aren't lame though. The kids love to be...

I agree with you. I'm at the point where I really doubt anyone in power cares. I struggle with this because I want to be and stay informed but there's a growing part of me that thinks that it really just doesn't matter who I vote for, at least on a national level, so why do I create angst for...

Try Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred DVD. It's designed for this very thing and, speaking from my own experience, it works. :) Also: - cut your salt, especially watch added salts in your processed foods, even the healthy ones. - super clean diet - no booze HTH!

In the spirit of the peanut gallery I'm gonna jump in and say I agree with Liann (and Michele. Hi Michele!) and GovGirl.* And for the record there's no limit on what can be discussed in the "open" topic. We talk fitness yeah, but everyone here knows that we also talk politics (ALL THE...

DH and I went for a check-up with our new GP and his office was a petri dish. Loads of sick folks and the office had also just received a new batch of flu vacs so people were pouring in the door. Question...I thought seniors were at low risk for H1N1...so why do I see so many of them...

You aren't selfish. There are plenty of us out there who don't want kids :) If you were honest with your DH from the beginning you have nothing to feel guilty about either. I would not be a good mother (though I consider myself a fantastic aunt and I think the wee ones would agre :D )...

Oh forgot to mention a great book I just finished: Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. I really appreciated this book but can't say I enjoyed it, as it made me really angry...

Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer's Life and Pema Chodron's new book,Taking the Leap.

Great thread! 1) last night my town voted to protect almost 1000 acres of open space, forest and farmland from development, including the 100 or so acres behind my house. 2) DH. Love him to death. Our marriage is strong and healthy and fun. 3) Having a small gathering of friends over...

I really don't have a ton of DVDs, and never have. I'll buy something new every now and then but will also sell what I'm not using regularly.

Well I must confess I did not get Insanity after all <blush>. I also came across a necklace I really liked and decided I didn't want to spend all my dough on one thing, not matter how awesome. :) Other than the necklace I did get Jari Love's Extremely Ripped, as well as The Pit workout and a...
