    Rekindle the "Kindle" Question

    On the Kindle 2....they have have corrected the problem with the accidental page turning that occurs on the original Kindle. They have also improved the graphics. As for limited books....I totally disagree. Besides the books on Amazon ...there are also thousands of free books available from an...

    Rekindle the "Kindle" Question

    Oh yes....2 cases the Kindle and the Patagonia (waterproof and zips) cases. I also bought the little book light....although it does look like my itty bitty book light might still clip onto the amazon case. My husband says I'm doing way more than my part to stimulate the economy (geez).

    Some Amazon.com questions

    So far I love it. It's also much thinner than the original. I've glanced throught the Kindle 2 user manual, charged it and even downloaded a book (ordered the book online and it downloaded in a flash). Great feature. I can also order books from the unit itself. Being from the bifocal...

    Some Amazon.com questions

    My husband and I been an Amazon Prime members for years. I receive my packages right away (2 days) with no minimum purchase or wait. No hassel. For us, it's worth it and it saves us money.....yes, we buy that much. You really have to know your spending habits and figure out if it's worth it for...

    ? for Kathryn!!!!

    I'm not Kathryn, but I hope you don't mind if I respond to your question because I've been a member of Dr Furhman's member center since April of 2006. (I don't represent him or his organization at all.) I read "Eat to Live" and simply believed it was the healthiest way to eat because it was...

    STS CHECK IN....DISC ONE

    I'm a day ahead......I had to start the rotation on Sunday due to my work schedule, but I will be following along and checking in. As I do the rotation, I'm getting quite an education about my body as far as my strengths and weaknesses. For one, I learned that I can handle regular pushups...

    Need help with belly fat

    Hi Ellie, Hmm.....I'll be 49 years old next month and I still have a six pack for abs (you can check my profile). And yes, I've had a child....she'll be 26 years old this May. I can only tell you what works for me. First let's be honest, there is a genetic componet to great abs. (I have a...

    Rekindle the "Kindle" Question

    My 94 year old grandmother ownes the original and loves it.....I played with it a bit and found it's very easy to use. I ordered the Kindle 2....it's on reserve order and won't be delivered until around the 24th of this month. A selling point for me is that amazon stores also all the books...

    Oprah and Somers misrepresenting self hormone therapy

    When I watched the program I expected to hear balance and expert testimony from both sides.....it was clearly a spectacle. There absolutely was no balance of opinions. Heck, there were just opinions.The expert from Northwestern University's medical school was given second stage....heck, she...

    Oprah and Somers misrepresenting self hormone therapy

    Ah, but the FDA has a heck of a lot more crediblility than Suzanne Somers....and let's not ever forget Thalidomide. Who protected us then? It certainly wasn't the general public who wanted the drug introduced into this country. Oh, yes, we would have had a lot of babies born in this country...

    Oprah and Somers misrepresenting self hormone therapy

    This is what I mean. People don't understand that the word Bio-identical is a marketing term and misleading: From the FDA: "The term “bio-identical” has no defined meaning in any medical or conventional dictionary, and FDA does not recognize the term. Even different medical groups define...

    Please don't flame me, but

    Lauramax, I just went back to all your posts and gave them 5 stars! Heck, the only other post I ever rated was Jerry's and that was because that sneaky One Star Bandit gave that post one star. ;) I really do hope the forum is always kept as a welcoming place of differing opinions.....I...

    Oprah and Somers misrepresenting self hormone therapy

    As quoted from the Newsweek article provided by the OP http://www.newsweek.com/id/183842: "Nor did Winfrey ask Somers about her own history of breast cancer—Somers was diagnosed with the disease after she started taking her estrogen supplements—or more recent precancerous changes in Somer's...

    Oprah and Somers misrepresenting self hormone therapy

    Someday I hope we will get through all the hype. Trying to call bio-identical hormones natural tends to make women believe that they are somehow safer....and that's simply untrue. Yes, it's true some experts favor bio-identicals even though they're not PROVEN safer. And yes, there can be some...

    The One-Star Bandit has struck again!!

    Hey Jerry, Rebel that I am, I gave you 5 stars too ;) ....but the rating of the post didn't budge. I'm beginning to wonder if the star count is fixed or if mine count. Hmmm....... Anyway.....in general, I just read the new posts. I certainly don't base which posts I'll read on how many...

    Adjusting Weights on 1 rep max

    I was really hoping you wouldn't say that. In other words, I shouldn't bother adjusting the weights on the daily workout cards.....I can't save it for another rotation unless I reuse that printed sheet. I should just redo a whole bunch of 1 rep maxes that weren't quite right for me in the first...
