    Housewives Fans...

    Wow... shameless thieves living off the backs and sweat of other people. I hope the bankruptcy judge and the IRS investigate them to the fullest extent of the law. Is it now politically correct to lavishly spend other people's "owed" money while begging the courts for relief? Geez, shame on...

    OUCH - I Fell Off My Step

    I can't help but giggle from your description of the events leading up to your unfortunate demise. Oh my! I'm just glad you didn't get seriously hurt. Oh yes....I've fallen quite a few times (and my workout room is big so I have no excuse), but my ego always hurts more than my body. I...

    Dog bite statistics

    Oh my.....my dog Katie, previously a shelter dog, is a shepherd mix and she is the sweetest wimp around. Heck, if a burglar came to our house she wouldn't bother to get out of bed. I'm certainly not a dog expert but I tend to think all dogs are unique although certain breeds may have a...

    I'm also very appreciative of all the vegetarian options -- I avoid meat, fish and dairy. ;)

    pure barre

    I find the Pure Barre workouts challenging. I almost didn't buy the second two DVDs because the set was so horrible in the first DVD-- Carrie was wearing a black outfit against a black background. Sheesh, I could barely see what she was doing. I am no ballerina and I need all the visual help I...

    Timex Heart Rate Monitor - Calorie Burn

    I don't think the backhanded compliment was really necessary-- my only intention was to help.

    Timex Heart Rate Monitor - Calorie Burn

    Those caloric expenditures sound really high. As for comparing the inexpensive Timex Heart Rate Monitor to the low end Polar in the consumer report article-- they did take into account "ease of use" in the overall rating and Polar performed poorly compared to the rest of the heart rate monitors...

    Help editing a DVD

    My sister found a VHS tape from 25 years ago of my Grandmother's 70th Birthday party and she made it into a DVD. In March my aunt is throwing a party for my grandmother's 95th Birthday. I would like to edit this DVD (some scenes are too dark and the DVD is too long) so I can "gift" it to people...

    What are you reading?

    Eating Animals really was phenomenal--my sister is reading it now. After I finish my current book, it sounds like I will have to order Everything is Illuminated...lol. Oh my, so many books and so little time...

    What are you reading?

    I just finished "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer. I laughed and cried throughout the entire book. It's moving and provocative. You can read the first chapter here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/11/magazine/11foer-t.html

    Anti-Gay Sentiment Surprise. An "Ugh" rant.

    It still amazes me how people use their interpretations of the Bible to support their bigotry. It's no wonder everyone still doesn't have equal rights under the law. I agree with A-Jock, the world is indeed an absurd and tiresome place.

    Robin/rjroubi: THe Vagrants was A++!!

    I knew you would love it!! I also bought "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers" but haven't started it yet (I've been traveling with very little down time). The Vagrants was a fast read. I thought the characters created were simply amazing. I liked that they were all somewhat complex and not...

    Proof that dogs can read!

    Oh Liann, my dog Katie has the exact same eyes as Montana! I call them "I can get anything I want from you" eyes. Katie just blinks at me with those sad eyes a few times and I run and get her a "cookie." Oh boy, does she have me trained. **Sigh**
