    Direct TV

    Same here. One drop of rain would fall from the sky, I'd lose service. BTW jacmar, I believe DirecTV is owned by Verizon. :mad: I tried Fios after DirecTV. The HD box went on the fritz about 2 weeks after I got it. I spent a total of 27 hours on the phone or sitting waiting for a service...

    Has anyone tried Hydroxatone?

    I keep seeing it on TV, but naturally I'm skeptical of the commercials. The reviews I'm reading online are pretty good though. Any Catheletes actually try it? If so, is it worth the $$$? Did you see any real results?

    Need BC advice

    Just an update--saw the doc yesterday. She said an IUD was a terrible option for women who've never had children. She said my cervix is too small & it'd be extremely painful to put it in, akin to labor pains. So she put me on a very low-dose hormone pill. It's called Lo Loestrin. Fairly...

    Government Jobs Application Time Frames

    Not only does it depend on the agency, but also the individual & the process. I advertised for 3 positions in December. I just filled the last one. I had all kinds of hoops they had to jump through--skills tests, two interviews, background checks, reference checks etc. Every flippin govmt...

    Workout room help AGAIN please!

    Maybe it has something to do w/the age of the house? Most of the housing stock in my area is pre-1920. The basement isn't "leaky," but when we get a lot of snow, then it melts & we get a heavy rain, the ground is so saturated it seeps through the walls. I don't know anyone in this area who...

    Patric Goudeau's ABC2--OH MY GOOOOOOOSH!

    I am totally a Goudeau groupie! That guy is a genius, no question about it. I actually met an AFAA instructor last w/e who knows him. She said they met on a plane on their way to a fitness convention in Europe & he was incredibly snooty. Then when they got where they were going & found they...

    Workout room help AGAIN please!

    I think that might actually depend on where you live. I'm in northern NJ with the added disadvantage of living in an area with hills & valleys. If you don't have a sump pump here you end up with a swimming pool in your basement. I lost a $4K aerobics floor last year before I had my pump...

    Tattoo Removal

    I think it kind of hurts too. :(

    Patric Goudeau's ABC2--OH MY GOOOOOOOSH!

    Absolutely low impact! He has a total of four combos, plus the WU & CD. As is Patrick's way the WU itself is challenging & my HR was in the 160s by the time it was over. The choreo is def. more challenging than I expected. The first two combos are probably do-able after one preview, but...

    Patric Goudeau's ABC2--OH MY GOOOOOOOSH!

    LOL! This guy is out of his ever-loving mind! I had no idea what to expect from this workout & honestly thought it wouldn't be very challenging, but it is a freakin blast & kicked my butt! Took me 2 previews & I'm still working on one or two of his crazy turns, but it is crazy fun. That man...

    Tattoo Removal

    I've never had it done, but my cosmetic derm's office does it. They say it's the most common procedure they do in their office.

    No worries Mama Deb! I could always use bootcamp advice. First & foremost, how I can find a way to enjoy it rather than considering it extreme torture. ;):p:D

    Need BC advice

    OK, sounds like the IUD is the way to go, but I am concerned about health issues & hormones, which is why I don't want the pill. I'm 43 & don't want kids (did at one point, but not at my age). My periods used to be like clockwork & very heavy, now they're completely unpredictable. Could be...

    Need BC advice

    OK I am blushing as I type b/c this is obviously a very personal issue, but I'm semi-comfortable asking here since we're mostly women. :) So, I'm 43 & have been off the pill for about 3 years. I absolutely do not want to go back on it b/c of my age & family medical history. What...

    OK 'fess up, who's caught royal wedding fever?

    Exactly my point! So much tragedy happening these days, it's fun to concentrate on something light, fluffy & romantic. :) I don't feel like it's being rammed down our throats. We have a zillion TV channels. If one doesn't want to watch it, one does not need to. ;) Which makes me a little...

    School fundraising ideas

    I got this email I'm pasting below--it wasn't really relevant for me, but I thought it was a clever idea: Dear Fundraising Planner: Looking for a great way to raise thousands of dollars for your school, church or club and help protect the environment? With EcoPhones' Recycling Fundraiser for...

    OK 'fess up, who's caught royal wedding fever?

    I just can't get enough of this stuff. With all the struggle & strife going on in the world today, it's so much fun watching this young couple in love, who also happen to be the next King & Queen of England (well, that's how England's citizens want it anyway) planning this huge event. I can't...

    My local gourmet grocery store has this awesome service where you can shop online, put your list in a "basket," & pick up & pay for the entire order at once. What a time saver! So convenient! Is this something new, or is anyone else using it? If anyone else is using it, why didn't you tell...
