The drug culture in Hollywood As a Canadian, I have followed Corey Haim (a Canadian) in our country's over the years. Haim last year appeared in Toronto-based stories, talking about his addiction. And I enjoyed some of his 1980s films (Lucas, the Lost Boys, the Silver Bullet). Some media...

Congratulations to both teams... Congratulations to the U.S. team as well, for coming back from a 2-0 deficit to make it such an exciting game. The U.S. team, at the beginning of the tournament, was considered a long-shot "rebuilding" team. And I turned the TV off with 2:06 to go in the...

Here's an article discussing the International Olympic Committee's (IOC's) reaction to the somewhat boistrous celebration by Canadian women's hockey team. After winning the gold medal against the U.S. team, the Canadian women drank beer and champagne, and smoked cigars, on ice -- after the fans...

Nutrional benefits from mushrooms Buckeyegirl, thanks for the recipe. I have "discovered" mushrooms only in the past six months or so. I find them easy to add to most meals (e.g, cutting back on the size of rice servings, and throwing sliced white mushrooms in the pots with the rice). Mushrooms...

I avoid multivitimin pills, but take selected pills I avoid taking multivitimins, and this is why. I used to take a "super" VM pill, back in the 80's. But I had a severe kidneystone attack, and found out that I had calcium/potassium build-up from the pills. Also, and I hope not to start an...

Teacher should admit to mistakes/junk food in schools EricaH: 1. The teacher should own up and admit her obvious grading mistake, to you and your DD. If not, I highly recommend taking the issue up with your principal and teacher. Teachers need to be held accountable for their mistakes -- or...

Thanks! Thanks! I figured it out. --Davidj

Two weeks ago someone asked about help to counter insomnia. I let the string go without commenting, but here goes: A good article on what foods to eat before sleeping: yrealage/12/top-10-foods-for-a-good-night-s-sleep My view is that some insomnia is caused by bringing to bed serious...

I feel like a klutz, since I asked this question a year and a half ago. So I apologize in advance. How does one edit one's workout manager (WM)? I go into my "user's CP", then I'm lost. I can't even find my WM! Could somebody give me a step-by-step, idiot-proof lesson? -- Davidj

This is a dumb question, probably asked a zillion times. But...how does one get to one's workout manager and edit it? I did this before, a year ago, but forgot! I go to my "user's cp", but all the options from there, I cannot find the edit page with the WM in it. Any help would be appreciated...

Belinda: you are an inspiration to me. Belinda: I have been following the recent threads on your condition. The reason for my post is that, after what you been through, that you can go out and do a STS session is amazing! And to do 2.5 miles! You are an inspiration to me to go back and to...

Two suggestions: buying at a good sports store Marnold: Two suggestions: 1. Buy a pair of size 12 aerobics shoes at a good sports store. Ask the clerk about quality of shoes -- and whether DH prefers aerobics (step vs. strength? etc). Sound her or him out on prices, etc. The problem with...

Treat shopping carts like litter... I agree with those who resent seeing carts left in parking lots. I don't drive a car, so I have to walk to stores and shopping centres, and through parking lots. What I do is treat shopping carts like litter. If I see litter, I stop and pick it up and...

Other Coffey-Meyer videos/lighter weights RinninTeach, I hope you will recover quickly, and that you are up to speed in short order. You mention Kelly Coffey-Meyer. For light weights and lots of reps, I recommend her first DVD, "Complete Cardio Scultping" , You might want to try "NYC: Body...

I agree/I never bothered to learn how... I agree with the sentiments on this thread. I, like others here, find that the "star rating" has nothing to do with the information content of the discussion. Often, if there is an argument (say on animal rights), both sides may pose interesting...

:) I see that Cathe's "Step N' Motion" video has been reproduced, after (sigh) all of these years. I have kept my old VHS copy (it still works perfectly!), and have used it off and on, for (?), twenty years? It is videos like these that force me to keep a VHS player hooked up. I still like...

Not that big a thing, but... How does one enter one's biirth date into our User CP? I was looking for my birthday recognition -- at the bottom of the Cathe Forums page -- and couldn't find it. My birthday is December 29, today. Apparently I do not have my birth date logged in properly. Not...

Install birdfeeder next to window Afreet and others, I posted a piece last sommer, having the unfortunate experience of witnessing a stunned finch, one that apparently hit my window (it survived and flew off). What I do is this: install the feeder under the overhang, but put it beside the...

Are people in North America eating better? I appreciate the discussion on this thread, since I am concerned about the obesity epidemic. My view is that society eats poorly (fast food, etc), and does not exercize as much as it should. Both factors are at work here.There should be more bike...
