I'm getting ready to read AS in a few weeks so perhaps some of you might join me? I'm getting a little scared. I'm thinking this should be the summer I read all the classics I've been afraid of. So first - Atlas Shrugged, next - War and Peace. Anyone joining me?? }( }( Carolyn ETA: It...

RE: a new So now I'm interested in this book. I"m not sure what to do. So I guess I'll muddle through Altas Shrugged and then move on to this. Hopefully Beavs is joining me! Do you hear me Beavs???}( Carolyn

I'll second the Angels and Demons comments. I thought it was good. And I'll even admit to reading Howard Stern's books. I don't listen to his radio show (can't stand it, actually), but I thought his books (yes, bookS) were really entertaining. *sneaks out of thread before someone throws a tomato...

Great article! I do have to admit that I love my fair share of 'low brow' literature though. Anne Rice anyone?. Anyone? :) Carolyn

RE: Oprah & TeTe - Yikes! I'm scared now! I knew it would be a tough read. It sounds like I may get lost in those 30(!!!) page monologues!! Beavs - I plan on starting it next month. I'd love for you to join me. We can suffer together! :) Carolyn

RE: Oprah & Beavs - I'll be starting Atlas Shrugged soon. Have you read it? I'm trying to get DH to read it so we can have a mini book club. Te Te- Well written! Couldn't have said it better myself. Amy - GREAT quote! :) Carolyn

RE: Oprah & Huh?

Yeah, I have them too. They aren't as bad as yours though. I do tend to get shin splints that seem to never go away. And it's hard to find shoes that fit because people with higher arches tend to have wider feet. I do get some killer foot cramps from time to time as well. I find that having the...

I'm sorry this is happening to you Wonderwoman. Eating veggies is (I believe) and essential part of any diet. If you're having problems that for you are uncommon, I would suggest seeing a doctor. You may have IBS or something else. Don't you want to know for sure? Take care, Carolyn

Sparrow - you sound just like my husband. He's also a die hard libertarian. Are you going to vote for the libertarian candidate (I know Ron Paul is technically a lib but I believe the party is narrowing down their choices)? They have some interesting ideas and I find myself agreeing with many...

So last night I tried it. It went on pretty easy and I didn't notice the 'smell' as I was applying. The smell did creep up about a half hour later and DH did notice it. I was aware of the smell all night as I slept (which usually happens after I apply this sort of tanner). I woke up this morning...

Beavs, How awful. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. And for someone so young. I can't even imagine how you are feeling. My thoughts are with you (I've been thinking about you for the last few days now). You have a lot of friends here for you. Carolyn

I ordered some as well (ENABLERS!!) and I'm excited to see how it goes. Hopefully it is smell-free (DH HATES the smell of my other tanners and has all but banned them ! :)) I got mine on ebay. I saw the deal with the scrub and the tanner but just opted for the tanner. I'll also update on how it...

Hi Sung (sorry about the name mix up), Throughout my degree program we kept reading about gyms that were requiring higher level certs for their personal trainers. Some have even switched to requiring degrees of some sort (keep in mind that these were higher-end gyms in places like CA and...

Thanks for your response Clare. I'm actually certified with ACE as a personal trainer and a group instructor. I also have a Master's in Exercise Science. I see the CSCS as a specialized cert that gives me more credibility with my clients. I also realize the extensive knowledge it takes to pass...

Agreed. I'm sure there's more than of a few of us sitting here wondering about you! Carolyn

I'm getting ready to sign up for some review courses to take this exam. I was wondering if anyone here has taken these classes before. They seem to be quite extensive (9 modules) and perhaps time consuming. I'm a little afraid of the exam (DH took it a few years ago and found it to be...
