    opinions on tax rebate

    You'll get no flames from me. I just had to thank you for the giggle and nod from this line: "How many more times does government have to bail the idiot pool out!" So true. I hope things get better with your DHs job. We also live off my DHs commission/bonuses, and it can get scary...

    What workout socks do you love?

    I've become a bit of a sock snob since discovering these: http://www.amazon.com/ASICS-Kayano-Quarter-Socks/dp/B0009PUBY6/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1203003580&sr=8-1 I wear Asics Kayanos for running, so I thought I'd give the socks a try. They are anatomically designed and...

    opinions on tax rebate

    <<<"Now, I have been following the primaries closely and aside from other things getting my blood boiling, I get really fed up with the so-called "mortgage bail-out". It pretends that people are unknowing sheep, screwed by big bad mortgage. Whereas I do agree that some mortgage companies and...

    Why don't folks have stretch marks??

    I don't have any stretch marks from my pregnancies either, and I used Palmer's Stretch Mark Cream religiously every day. I swear by it. I also didn't gain a lot of weight (21 pounds for 1st, 27 pounds for 2nd), only because I had morning sickness 24/7.

    BEST BOSU DVD

    Re: the Gay Gasper Reactive Strength workout.... I have this one, and it's not a favorite. She annoys me a bit for some reason. I've only used it a few times, from what I remember it raised my heart rate up a little and did have quite bit of lunges and squats. I was disappointed there wasn't...

    Heart Palpitations

    Yes, I've had them for years as well. I also have a heart murmur so I've asked my doctor and previous doctors, and all have said it is nothing to worry about. I can't pinpoint what causes mine, only that I notice them most when I'm laying on my side trying to fall asleep. I'll have to log my...

    weighted walk vest

    I have one! I got it awhile ago (a little over a year?) at Target. I think it was $29.99. I believe it is the Pro Spirit brand. Thanks for the reminder, I need to dig it out and use it more! ETA a link. I think mine holds 15 lbs, but it is very similar to this...

    How many close or over 40 had to....

    I just turned 40 and the biggest change I've noticed is my increase in over-use injuries. I've been fairly active all my life, but in the past two years it's been foot tendonitis, IT band issues, bursitis, tennis elbow.... the list goes on! I know I need to tone down the high-impact step, limit...

    Cortisone shots...

    As someone mentioned, I think it depends on one's pain tolerance, and I also think it really depends on the body part! I had one in my IT Band/knee and it just about sent me through the roof when it went in. The hip one didn't hurt near as much going in. I suppose because I have more fat there...

    Rochester MN Residents

    Wow! I'm a sometimes lurker, and was shocked to see a callout to Rochester! Unfortunately, my kids and all my friends' kid are older, so none of us have strollers around any more. But, as someone mentioned, call Mayo and see what they can do. Here's a few ways to reach the Concierge...
