Ooooh, Melanie, you win I think. Seems like International Falls is always pretty much the coldest place in the nation during cold snaps! I'm in DC where it's 12 degrees, -11 with windchill. I'm stocked up on provisions and hunkered down -- not because of the weather but because of the...

I'm a bit older than you and in grad school after decades away from academia. I'd just offer this advice. First: Relax! You probably have way more to offer than you give yourself credit for. (That's what one professor told me after I was freaking out my first semester.) Second: Talk to your...

Not to lengthen your list, but Kate Atkinson is another author you might consider. She's a bit off the beaten path for Americans. She was born in this country but lives in Scotland now. She won the Whitbread prize for her first novel, but the beach-y books on my list are her series of three (so...

My cat licks walls. It's strange to watch, and worrisome. But I asked my vet about it recently at my cat's annual checkup. I think it may be a "mouth feel" kind of thing--i.e. it just feels good to her for whatever reason. But my vet also mentioned how many cats lick plastic/latex because...

Hadn't looked at this thread because I thought it was more negative energy, and I didn't want to feed that. But now, after finally wavering and clicking on the link, I can only say yes, yes, yes! :eek: I just viewed the latest YouTube excerpts of the ab routines and they make me want STS more...

You look great, congratulations! How did you lose the weight, inquiring minds want to know?:rolleyes:

As a relatively new cat person (formerly had just dog companions), the whole gravity thing is fascinating. I leave things on the edge of my bedside table (bottle caps,a nail file, hair pins) just for my cat to push over during the night. I thought she was the reincarnation of Sir Isaac Newton...

I can only imagine what it must have been like for the parents of that toddler. Those puppies were wonderful. I love our furry friends!:D

A number of people on this forum seemed to have lost the companionship of furry loved ones of late. I have been there, and it is tough. So as a reminder of how beautiful our relationships with our animal companions are, I thought I would share a couple of links that I think really tell us a lot...

Sending prayers and positive energy your way. Hang tough.

I hope your last night with him is one of peace and ease and love--that quiet connection that we have with the animals we love, and who love us back even more. I've been through this several times in recent years. It's tough, but in the end, just try not to question your decision or re-think...

Very nicely put. Thank you.:):):)

I'm a big fan of paperbackswap as well, though I do use the public library too. However, I like to hang on to books FOREVER sometimes before I get around to reading them. And I have my own little library at home, so I actually enjoy owning and displaying books that are mine. So paperbackswap is...

Daniel Craig. Not "sweet." No puppies. (I've got that part covered.) Just a bad, bad boy. Yowza.

God bless. My prayers are with you, and with the doctor and his family.

I've been away from this thread for a while and am excited to see how it's taken off! I really hope to participate; I'm in a very weird and difficult place personally this year. Yoga has sustained me for years but I spent a good part of this year caring for an intimate loved one who was very...

Wow, where to begin?!?:rolleyes: My favorite is probably a pink lace camisole that I bought in Paris circa 1985 at the Tati department store, which is a legendary, crazy French chain store. Like Target, but ... French! I don't really wear it much; it's made of some sort of indestructible...

Hi... Don't know if there is such a check-in but I would be interested in joining one. I too have been away from exercise and yoga for a while, because of cataclysmic personal changes in my life. Also, on another level, the yoga studio two blocks from my house that I frequented for a few...

Hilarious, and so apropos! I'm a former (multi) dog person, but now have just one cat. I came home from work today and the last bulb in my kitchen lighting fixture blew out. My cat watched with some curiousity as I stood on a little step stool to replace the bulb. I'm sure she was thinking...

My vehicle/excuse for procrastination has been to wait until there's an actual ship date for the STS series. Until then, it's not really real, if you know what I mean. It's been so long now that I'm not feeling any pressure at all to do it. Once I know the series is on its way, then I will...
