    Chalean Extreme??? really???

    I have similar throughts on the program DeeDee. I did a rotation last year after I completed the STS 3-month rotation. I did not "jive" with Chalene. I didn't like the revealing tops/cleavage shots and the repetitive terms like "go heavy or go home" and "it's time to get extreme, baby" but...

    Katherine Heigel as Stephanie Plum?

    Stephanie Plum is the lead character in Janet Evanovich's "number" series. She is a tough, no nonsense gal from New Jersey who needs a job so desperately, she starts working for her cousin Vinnie (a perverted bail bondsman) as a bounty hunter. The books are truly laugh-out-loud funny with the...

    Need help with trip to London

    I did two group tours when I was stationed in Germany. I went to Italy and France. I really enjoyed the group tours. My reason for enjoying the tours and encouraging them is that everything is mapped out for you. Since this is your first time to London, you will probably want to do the...

    Katherine Heigel as Stephanie Plum?

    I tend to agree. Not sure he is quite sexy enough to pull of Ranger. Ranger is a BIG, muscular guy. I am trying to think of someone hot and big enough...I am thinking someone like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Morelli has to be Italian. Hmmnm...trying to think of someone good looking enough...

    The "unschooling" trend

    Travis - your description of unschooling sounds much more logical. It also sounds like it would work very well for children with learning disabilities who may not do well in a structured learning environment. Maybe the news report decided to show more extreme examples for a ratings push or...

    The "unschooling" trend

    Melissa - I really like the idea of homeschooling and your ideas are the reason why. I like the idea of having a "core" curriculum that you teach in the home but then using outside the box ideas to also teach. For example, why not go on nature hikes to learn about botany, biology, and geology...

    The "unschooling" trend

    I have NEVER heard of such a thing. I cannot imagine a child 1 - having no formal education and 2 - having no rules/responsibilities. I realize the parents expect that the kids will "police" themselves, but what if they don't? Doesn't this set them up for failure and rejection for jobs...

    Sookie Stackhouse - Worth Reading??

    Thanks all for the responses. I guess I will get the first couple out of the library and see how it goes. For some reason, I am getting a lot of vampire fiction recommended. Maybe that is based on past reading history? I finished up the "Undead/Betsy the Vampire Queen" series. LOTS of...

    Sookie Stackhouse - Worth Reading??

    I just finished watching the first two seasons of True Blood and was thinking of reading the Sookie Stackhouse books the series is based on. I think I may have messed up not only reading the books but also watching the next season of True Blood. I was reading the synopses for the future books...

    If you love to Bedazzle....

    I kind of agree with the author (Jenny Block) on this: "Plenty of people will – or do – take issue with vajazzling. But I can’t see why. It’s harmless, as far as I can tell. Does it objectify women? Nope. Only other people can do that, not a simple salon service. A few well-placed jewels...

    eliptical question

    Travis, I tend to agree with you that it sounds like the lighter weights lots of rep storyline spouted by many trainers at the moment (going for the long lean look). As we "in the know" realize, most women just don't "bulk" like that. However, this could all depend on your definition of the...

    A Cathe petition - please sign!

    I remember that it was supposed to be during the rest times in STS but there were a lot of negative comments towards it (would appear redundant on subsequent viewings, boring, etc.). Carrie

    ZigTechs

    I have them and REALLY like them. They are very comfortable and "cushiony." I bought a guys pair because I have wide feet. Mine have a green squiggly bottom. Carrie

    So sad my dog won't stop biting!

    For $155/hour x two visits, what does the behaviorist say? I like Jonezie's idea of shoving hour hand back into the dogs mouth. DH used that trick on our dog as well and it works. When he is out walking on leash, you could muzzle him. That would give you piece of mind outside the home, but...

    What kind of apples are best?

    I was going to suggest Pink Lady as well. Has the crispness of the HoneyCrisp and a nice tartness...but not too tart. It is my favorite "non-HoneyCrisp Season" apple. Carrie

    Unseasonably warm weather anyone?

    I am LOVING the unseasonably warm weather. I am SO OVER winter :-)! Unfortunately, I live in Cleveland so I am sure we will be having snow in a week or two :-(. Carrie

    great book

    kariev - I read that book and really liked it. It was amazing to read how much we are lied to by our government, big business, etc. I am really focusing on that now...or at least trying to! I am still too focused on what the scale says but am trying to live my life just making healthy choices...

    anyone taking acid reflux meds?

    I take Protonix once a day and have not had any issues. It is amazing how quickly it helped. I have been taking Protonix for 5 years. Carrie

    Advanced Step Challenge 4!!

    I will probably get ASC4 even though I have yet to master the first 3! I was really looking forward to her treadmill/walking DVD. I hope that is still in the works. Carrie
