    Threads Marked As "Read"

    I've been having the same problem for a few weeks now and it's driving me crazy. When the forums first switched over, I didn't have the problem and it was so much easier to go to new posts in any thread since my last visit. I came here to see if I could find an answer. But at least I know...

    Election's over,Now FESS UP-Guilty Pleasures!

    Dancing with the Stars Survivor (my two teenage sons watch it and it's something of a bonding thing or I probably would skip it) What Not to Wear - but is this really a guilty pleasure? Surely you don't want to see me in pleated pants and shoulder pads! Dr 90210 - God, I may not be...

    Can't stop spending money this week!!!

    This has been a bad month for me, spending-wise. I've wanted a gas range for so long and finally took steps to getting one. We have a propane furnace and there appeared to be a gas pipe in the cabinet next to the current electric range, so it didn't seem all that involved. Seems we had a...

    Frustrated with Amy Bento's ASC II!

    The first (and only) step workout of Amy's I've attempted is ASC3. I previewed, fumbled a few times, but I got it. There's still one place where she pivots and I don't, but we end up the same place regardless. I was expecting the worst, but it wasn't all that bad (to learn). It led me to...

    Hugh Hefner walking down the aisle

    I got the impression that Holly was the one Hef slept with and the others were around for fun (other kinds). Like they were Holly's girlfriends and Hef was helping Bridget through school and Kendra set up in business or something. There were a few episodes with Holly wanting Hef to marry her...

    The baggy vs tight pants look

    In the bank the other day, there was a young man at the counter doing several transactions with the teller. He kept hiking his pants up changing positions. All this while signing things and passing documents back and forth with the teller. I kept waiting for him to not be fast enough to grab...

    OMG Kettlebells

    If you mean the discount code for TotalFitnessDVDs - the code is 10off.

    Cabo San Lucas Hotels

    Tracy, your last link took me to a blank reservation page. But I found a listing at VRBO here: http://www.vrbo.com/Beta/157668 And now see the timeshare place by Los Arcos you've been referring to. Looks very nice and is definitely not where we stayed. I had to search for awhile on the...

    Cabo San Lucas Hotels

    I haven't been here for awhile, so sorry for the delay. But both your links show pictures of the same place and they both describe themselves as being on the "corridor". I'm more confused than ever, but they sure appear to be one and the same. I even checked Travel Advisor and they only show...

    Cabo San Lucas Hotels

    Ha, that is so funny! The one and only time I went to Cabo, I stayed at the Melia. I don't recommend it. Activities were rescheduled or relocated without notice, two of our 5 nights we came back to the room and had no towels, the bathroom had a slick floor and the curtain of the shower never...

    Seasun Zieger -- Thoughts???

    Conni, I think you have the descriptions for Straight Up Step and The Next Step reversed. I have SUS and there's just horizontal stepping and no ab section in it. IIRC, the reviews for TNS stated it was super complex and had a tough ab segment. Diane

    Lets talk pants

    For all of you who think they are hard-to-fit, please check out www.zafu.com. They have a about 10 questions about how jeans fit on you, then give you a list (including where to buy) of what jeans would probably fit you. They even give price ranges! Great site, and their results for me have...

    What's the last movie that made you cry?

    Pursuit of Happyness. I don't watch many movies - most of them don't appeal to me. But this one got me.

    Vrinda?

    Funny, I was just thinking about her the other day and how she seems to have dropped out of sight. I hope everything is okay. We miss you Vrinda! Diane

    What to do with circuit workouts

    It depends on the circuit. I think Cathe's circuit workouts are pretty darn no-nonsense with the weight work and you should take a day off weights the next day. Some of the more recent Firm circuit workouts are light and fast with the weight work and just seem more like a continuation of the...

    Ponytail holders made of.....GROSS!!!

    I can't imagine how they are getting used ones. Are they collecting them curbside along with recycling? Makes me think you'd get a bonus ala There's Something About Mary.

    Help with Amy Bento

    I've only attempted ITR once. Amy tends to throw a whole string of cues at you at once, making it all sound very complicated. Then when you actually see the move, it's not what you expected it to be. It left me confused. And combo 2, I think it was, with some sort of weird roundhouse...

    BAD KITTY! (need some cat advice)

    It's already been mentioned to reverse the toilet paper. If that doesn't work, try flattening the roll before you put it on the spool (step on it). Then it can't be spun around easily by your cats. Diane

    "Get Ripped!" DVDs question

    I'd say that RTTC and R1000 have the most lower body work, simply because being compound moves, you work the lower body by lunging or squating almost every exercise. Ripped and Chiseled has the least lower body work, I'd say. And now that I've done a quick check on Collage (you can click...

    I have a DATE tonight!!

    I wish you all the best and hope it works out. It's hard to get a true "read" on things initially. I did the online dating thing and sometimes you think the first date (after coffee meeting) went really well, only to never hear from the guy again. But, the good news is, I've been seeing...
