    Anyone taking Bee Pollen?

    I keep reading that bee pollen is considered by some to be the most perfect food on earth in terms of its complete range of nutrients. I'm guilty of jumping onto bandwagons pretty easily so I'm trying to do my homework on everything before I try it. There's tons of info on the internet about...

    This is probably TMI--flatulence question

    <<You also might consider taking a digestive enzyme, I pop a few each day and it helps move that protein through your system.>> This may be a dumb question, but what's a digestive enzyme? Is it a supplement of some kind?

    Question for the deep thinkers

    <I look at everyone's individual life as God's own book. No two are comparable. Each has different chapters and different endings. Some are fast-paced. Some are slower. Some are sagas some are epics. But they are our own stories. Uniquely our own. Enjoy every chapter. Devour every word. And...

    Lent

    I do try to give up something (taught as a kid to "sacrifice" something so it kind of stays with you). Because I grew up Catholic we never ate meat on Fridays during Lent, and I still don't - but that seems kind of meaningless now since I'd don't consider it a sacrifice. I think I prefer a...

    Have you ever tried....

    My hubbie thinks I'm cruel if I don't heat the syrup first! One of the syrup makers used to make a short squatty bottle that's short enough to fit in the microwave but I don't know if they still do. Anyway, your eggos sound good! ;)

    Barbell squats in 4DS

    You might try putting the bar on your shoulders behind your head. I think that's an option any time you're doing squats but someone correct me if I'm wrong!

    Barbell squats in 4DS

    Kay - Not Cathe of course but I can tell you what helps me - cause you're right, that's a tough squat! My big toes are arthritic so having the heels elevated hurts my feet in that stance. But if I focus on my heels and putting my weight on my heels, it helps me stay on the board rather than...

    What was your favorite toy as a child?

    <Ugh, older brothers can be such a pain.> Younger brothers too - especially in a houseful of sisters and big-busted Barbie dolls! My brother, at some point in his childhood, seemed to get his jollies by drawing pubic hair on Barbie, and Midge, and Stacy, and Francie - and even Mary Poppins...

    Question re: wrist pain

    I have pain at the base of my thumbs all the time - it's osteoarthritis. It's just something I live with and take glucosamine for, which helps. But it does affect my ability to do things like pushups and plank work and pikes! as well as I'd like. I generally have to stop and rest my wrists...

    Do Perfect Push-up Handles work on carpet?

    I think it's having my hands flat on the floor, with all the weight on that fatty part of the lower palm (near the wrist) that hurts my arthritic thumbs. I would like to bear more of the weight on the center of my palms and thought dumbbells would help, but DANG its still painful. I do my...

    anyone from or near ellicotville, ny?

    We drive up there from central Ohio every winter - to ski of course, but Laura's right, it's lovely! Holiday Valley sends us information every year about their summer events so I know there's fun stuff to do in July. Have a good time - there's nothing more fun than a girl's get-together is...

    Do Perfect Push-up Handles work on carpet?

    QUESTION! Is it because the "Perfect Pushups" rotate that it helps eliminate wrist pain? I have arthritis in both my thumb joints so push ups off the floor hurt, but I find doing it with dumbbells just as painful. Does the rotation help that???? I'll spend the money if it makes a difference...

    Anyone board their dogs while on vacation?

    We board our Springer Spaniel when we go out of town and he does fine. We chose a kennel that came highly recommended so that's the only thing I'd suggest. If it has a good reputation you should have no problems. I agree that your dog(s) will be stressed when you leave, regardless of the care...

    How much weight do you use...more or less than Cathe?

    I am sometimes amazed at how much weight she can handle for her small stature! I can match her in some lifts, but not in others. I like that she lets us know how much she's lifting so I can at least gauge my progress.

    San Antonio

    I lived there for 7 years but that was a few years ago and good restaraunts change in that time. One place that was my favorite was La Margarita Restaurant in Market Square downtown. Talk about excellent Mexican food and ethnicity. I'm in Ohio now but have not tasted authentic Mexican food...
