    LL Bean versus Lands End

    I like both but I purchase more from LE. I really like that you can return LE items to Sears instead of having to pay return shipping. My long down coat is from there and it is fantastic.

    Power Hour 2 or Muscle Max 2

    I would really like another (or more) full body workouts that can be completed in about an hour. I prefer to do 3 full-body workouts a week to a 3-day split because if my schedule screws up and I miss a day or so I can just pick up at the next full-body workout without shortchanging any body parts.

    What One Food Makes You Wanna Open a Can of Whoop-Ass?

    Baked Lays. OK in theory, they are BAKED not fried and therefore better for you, but if I open a new bag I will eat 1/2 of it at once and so negate any "better for you" aspect. I usually feel very bloated afterwards as well. So, I have been limiting myself to only 1 small single-serve bag per...

    kitchenaid stand mixers

    I have a 6-QT pro and I love it. I have had it for 7 years and I use it for cookies, cakes and lately a lot of bread. It is heavy-duty enough to knead whole wheat bread dough without a problem. I prefer that it doesn't tilt. I have not had a problem with oil leaking. I used to work in the...

    anybody watch monk?

    I loved this show and I will definitely buy this season on DVD when it comes out. I thought the series ending was terrific. Monk could always overcome his fears, at least momentarily, in order to protect someone he cared about. That was the best thing about the show. We all have fears...

    STS hmmm

    I really liked Meso 1 the best, but then I like pushups so all of those variations made me feel strong! I also found it difficult to get a fully loaded barbell (in my case 62#) into position for bench presses or incline presses without a barbell rack in the other Meso cycles. Finally, I find...

    Ab Workout

    Just a quick note - I sometimes rotate planks with the boat pose from yoga - http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/489 alternating each for a minute until my abs are jelly. Great for commercial breaks.

    Favorite Wii Games

    I bought the Wii so my children and their spouses or SO's would have something to do when they come for visits. We mostly rent games like Mario Bros. and racing games. I also bought Guitar Hero which they love. We have We Cheer and Santa is bringing We Cheer 2 for DD this year (even...

    What is Your Favorite Exercise? And Least Favorite?

    Elizabeth, I actually have two stability balls, one that is just a little under-inflated. I find it easier to learn to do a move on that ball because it doesn't roll as much. After I have mastered it on that ball, I move on the fully inflated ball. I don't know if I can help with b) or...

    Favorite Wines?

    I really like: Edmeades Mendocino Zinfandel - my favorite zin right now. Yellowtail Shiraz/Cabernet blend is pretty good. Louis M. Martini Cabernet is also good. I tried Da Vinci Chianti last night and really liked it with pizza. I have also not found a Malbec I did not enjoy. They are...

    Real controversy--Let's talk pie!

    pumpkin, pumpkin, and pumpkin. I usually make the one on the Libby's can, but last year I made the one from The Best Recipe cookbook (more work to be sure, but yes it was even better than Libby's recipe). Pumpkin pie is the only kind of pie I will allow myself to have more than one piece (I...

    Has anyone tried the new Mindy mylrea videos?

    I have tried each video once as well. I loved the Bosu video - definitely gave me the kind of aerobics on the bosu that I liked - no choreography - but it got my heart rate up very well and challenged me balance-wise. Workout did not seem as intense to me (but that could have been the day)...

    I taught my 15 year old daughter to crochet

    Can you come teach me? I can knit just fine, but I can never get the tension right when I try crochet. It's great that you have a hobby you can share with your daughter! Now, shopping in the yarn store will be twice as much fun. :)

    Has anyone tried the new Kelly Coffey-Meyer videos?

    I did the Plyo Cardio Blast tonight. I thought there was a lot of resting between sets so I jogged or did a boxer's shuffle between sets, but I was a sweaty mess when I was done. I was never gasping for breath like I am at the end of some Imax intervals or even some of Cathe's plyo leg...

    Sharing pics of my Cats

    Thanks for sharing! When I was young we had numerous "barn" cats - it wasn't really a barn, but there was straw in the corner for the dog. Our favorite cat was all black and named Midnight. She stayed with us for years and was a great mouser and very good mother. Your Sevile looks very much...

    Kitty tail (tale?)

    I agree. She will adjust just fine. My male cat had a severe blockage of his urinary tract that only complete removal of his male appendage would fix. He pees like a girl now, but he is happy and healthy and doesn't seem to miss it at all. I am glad you discovered this in time. Good...
