I have an interesting experience this Saturday afternoon. After coming home from grocery shopping, I noticed a small bird sitting on my large backyard deck, near my two tube feeders. Since he didn't fly away, he was either injured or near death. He was a "chipping sparrow"...

Giving unused exercize videos away... A good question. I'm glad to see there are other video addicts out there. I have about 200-250, including old VHS's that I still use. I have divided my video collection into three groups: aerobic videos that are too difficult or too complex for me to use...

One suggestion: do very easy videos Spyrosmon: I think all of us have those off days when we feel too tired. And I feel for you. I've started STS, and I feel good and sore during the supposed "off" aerobics days. What I have started to do, when I feel like this, is to dust off all those easy...

Dumb question: where do you find CTX? Sorry for this dumb question on my part: I have the old CTX VHS videos, and I want to buy the DVD version. Yet when I go to Cathe's "strength" DVD section, it's not there! So where is it, to buy it? To answer Magda's question (my opinion here), the CTX...

I have DOMS just starting out STS I got DOMS in my pre-STS period, and the DOMS is just continuing on full bore into my second week of STS. From other coments on various Cathe pages, I take it DOMS is a normal right-of-passage. But I am doing very easy aerobics during the three in-between days...

For two months I just did alernate strength/aerobics days Dania: I certainly am not an expert at pre-STS rotations, since I just completed my first STS week last week. So I invite more experienced STS'ers to answer your question as well. But I prepared for STS for about two months, in May...

I use old movies to fall asleep... Gayle and others on this thread, I used to have moderate-to-severe insomnia, when I was between 25 to 33 years old. Then I was working in a tense, unfriendly research think tank. At that time I used to take over-the-counter sleeping pills, and some perscribed...

Bell collars for dogs? I am an animal lover who loves all animals -- dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, etc. I tend to think that there is a natural instinct for dogs and cats to kill smaller animals, and that's that if one allows their pet to run outdoors unleashed. On another thread I suggested...

If you get rid of the old tuber, do it through a recycling firm I agree with LauraMax's point, that if one decides to get rid of the old tube TV, it is better to do it through a recycling firm. There are media reports of people dumping their TV's in refill sites, whcih is bad for the...
