It ended up being the laundry detergent I had swithed to but it didn't go away right...

    Is this selfish?

    Wow! You guys are great. I can't tell you what your support means to me. My close friends have moved away over the years and family members have all passed away so I have had no one to "talk" to. I guess now it's time to bite the bullet and approach my husband.

    New DVD's/VHS?

    Maggie, I too am technophobic and o.k. maybe cheap - I guess I'll have to take the plunge and go DVD.I can't imagine never having a new Cathe workout. I suppose I can justify the new player, another t.v., AND the new workouts. The t.v. in the room I work out in is a t.v/vcr combo and it doesn't...

    New DVD's/VHS?

    I am sure I am in the minority here, but are you ever going to release new workouts in VHS form again? That is the only thing that has prevented me from purchasing the new releases. I own almost every other VHS workout of yours. Just curious. My husband says we may have to join the rest of the...
