    Roller Blades?

    The Landrollers look similar to the ones I have seen Cesar Millan wear on The Dog Whisperer. Carrie

    I like the IDEA of rollerblading but after my terrifying experience on rollerskates at my DDs birthday party last year, I am staying FAR AWAY!! Carrie

    Since there is so much controversy right now.....

    ITA!! I am not for any one party. However, I am VERY disappointed about the inaction of our federal government. You have the Democrats who have the LARGEST MAJORITY EVER not able to do ANYTHING. On the other side of the aisle, you have Senator Shelby holding up federal nominations to secure...

    I didn't realize Melissa was/is Jerry (obviously). I thought Melissa just didn't quote the message correctly. Carrie

    Favorite Smells

    Kathryn - I forgot about coffee. I really like the smell of a freshly opened pack of coffee and freshly brewing coffee. I also don't drink coffee. Can't stand the taste. It tastes NOTHING like it smells! Carrie

    Favorite Smells

    Nan (spyrosmom) got me thinking in another thread (Big Kids) about how much I like the smell of crayons. What are some of your weird (or not so weird?) favorite smells? Here are some of mine: Weird: Gasoline Bleach Pine-sol (not REALLY weird) Not Weird (at least not to me): The...

    Squat tips?

    Lainie - are you squatting with a barbell or dumbbells...or do you seem to have the problem with either? You could always try a weighted vest (or no weight) until your form is spot-on. Maybe go for more endurance (low weights/high reps) on squats as opposed to strength (heavy weights). I was...

    DVDs To Be Rid Of - Sell, Donate???

    I have SEVERAL DVDs that I no longer use but am finding a hard time parting with. They are not eligible for Amazon "buy back" program and really don't sell on ebay. I am thinking of donating them to my local library but feel bad that I paid the money for them and am getting "nothing" in return...

    low impact

    Autumn - maybe try wearing a heart rate monitor or some other device that shows calories burned. You might be pleasantly surprised and burn the same calories going "easier." Carrie

    for a slimmer leg?

    I think I will try getting back into jogging. Don't know that I will ever be a "runner." I am going to give it a try when I am walking the dog tonight. She will love it! Carrie

    Kids and Alice in Wonderland?

    Liann - I was confused by that. It is billed as Alice's "return" to Wonderland. She doesn't seem to remember having been there before? I think I will take DS (10) and DD (11) this weekend. I am itching to go to a movie and this seems as good as any of the others out there! Carrie

    Share your Idioms

    The one I use a lot is "suck it up, sunshine." Meaning, just get on with it! I liked when Mythbusters tested some idioms including: It's like shooting fish in a barrell Hit the ground running I would love to see someone try "It's like taking candy from a baby." That baby will...

    Input regarding knee

    Do you have or have access to a stationary bike (or if weather is good, an outdoor bike)? That is usually easy on the knee. For weights I think you are right on with upperbody but how about lower body with very light or no weight and skip things that might make your knee feel "wonky" such as...
