    "Women who talk politics are such a turnoff."

    I think men who make stupid comments are a turn off.

    Has Anyone Ever Intentionally Mispronounced Your Name????

    Yup. That pretty much sums up how i feel about the way he behaves not only to me, but everyone else. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to reply! Everything you have said validates that i'm not being overly sensitive about this. Normally, I'm very outspoken and would have told him...

    Getting Our Licks In!

    I took a rest day yesterday.:) Regarding cold sores: I tend to get them when i'm really stressed, run down, or fighting a virus so i associate this with my immune system needing a boost. I haven't had one in a really long time although there was a period a couple of years ago where i kept...

    Has Anyone Ever Intentionally Mispronounced Your Name????

    Thanks for all your responses. It is much appreciated.:) I should have mentioned before that my boyfriend wasn't actually around when all this was going down. They have a big family and after the meal people tend to split up and play cards, other games, or into smaller groups to chat. My BF...

    Getting Our Licks In!

    I managed to decorate for Christmas over the weekend.:) I didn't get to Pier1 but i will by the end of the week. I'm really happy with my tree this year. It's decorated in gold, ivory, green, and bronze tones (It looks better than it sounds!) My Sunday yoga classes ended and I have one more...

    Temperamental 10 year old... how should I punish her?

    ITA. She needs to know there are consequences for her actions otherwise she's going to continue hitting things. I would also look into teaching her how to deal with her anger and frustration in a more appropriate manner.

    Has Anyone Ever Intentionally Mispronounced Your Name????

    I have a french name which is uncommon where i live so I'm used to having it mispronounced or confused especially when meeting people for the first time. Usually, people can get it right after the initial confusion. It's not that hard. I'm in a really weird and uncomfortable situation where my...

    Nair and other depilatory products?

    I shave my legs but i wax my armpits and bikini area. I've had it done at the spa on occasion but most of the time i just do it myself. I've been doing it long enough that the hair in those areas has diminished significantly.

    Totally off topic - Kanye??

    I agree he is talented and yes, he is egotistical (like most other celebrities).

    Hello Cathletes! I'm glad to hear you all had a nice Thanksgiving.:) I haven't been able to work out the last couple of days but i'm aiming to get home at a reasonable time today. Yesterday i went and picked up my Christmas decorations from my mom's house. She stored a lot of my things for...

    12 hour night shift people -- when do you find the time?

    I used to work night shift and i had to keep myself on a routine. I prefer to work out after work and i stuck with that even when i was on night shift. I would finish work at 7:00am and go to the gym or home and workout. I would go to sleep after that. This might not work for you but you...

    Getting Our Licks In!

    Just a quick check-in: I have been alternating yoga with the treadmill these days. I've been doing an hour on the treadmill and i find the time goes by quickly since i just pop in a DVD and zone out while i watch TV. I like not having to think....just keep going until it stops, which is about...

    So frustrated

    If you have been eating right and exercising then perhaps you are retaining water. If that's the case then try and drink more water. Watch out for the sodium content in food which can cause bloating and try and weigh yourself at a consistant time (maybe first thing in the morning). I know...

    Getting Our Licks In!

    I got home really late last night so it was an unplanned rest day.:( Janie: That's so funny that Joey is stuck on "TBS". It's better than doing nothing though!;) Is he like that with other things besides his exercise? Shoegal: I have done the Total Body Sculpt premix. It is a lot of fun...

    exercise bike questions

    If you buy a "cheap spin" bike, chances are that it will not last long if you use it a lot and you'll have another broken bike. If you go with this option, get a good bike that will last. If you get a trainer for the outside bike, it's an ongoing expense and depending on the weather where you...
