    tsunamis, Iraq, and the inauguration

    I know what you mean feeling guilty. Instead, it's probably more constructive to be thankful. Some people can be thankful even when they are in the worst situations- I just finished reading some books by Dave Pelzer- Oh, he really brings the reader to the nitty gritty. It changes one's...

    Why is it????

    I think it's just the first idle thought because they hear it so often. I don't think it's men in general, just a certain group of "old schoolers" who have not learned that all those heavy benchers are injured, unless they have started working other body parts too (hello). Many men who are...

    O/T Selling on Ebay question.

    I second that advice to sell your items individually. There is an option for buyers to "view seller's other items" so people can see all the other tapes you're selling.

    Margarine vs butter

    Hey, organic butter. I just read The Maker's Diet and learned a whole bunch about butter, meats (from a fat standpoint), and fats in general. I highly recommend the book to those who already have a basic understanding of nutrition. Without that basic understanding, it could be scary and...

    Bad Coffee Blech Gotta vent

    What does an Italian espresso maker look like? Can you steam milk with it? I once had a Turkish espresso maker (stove top) and it did not turn out a consumable product.;-) How does it work? Where can I buy or look at one? Edited to add, is there a technique to work it right? Does it come...

    Help! Need your input....on communication skills.

    Please be more specific. No, I don't mean that your problem is that you're too broad :+ What do you mean "Lately I have had trouble communicating with people in my life." In what way? What are they saying? I did a search on your posts and the ones I read look normal to me.

    Ouch, my back

    Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions and prayers! I think I will see a chiropractor. After reading the Maker's Diet I have adjusted ;) my view of health care practitioners and their capabilities. The WalMart bag idea is great! I do have a pair of gardening clogs but the bags would be...

    need some financial advice

    I agree with Shelbygirl. Timesaver and Terminator are both compilations. Not that there's anything wrong with that,A-J!!:P My suggestion would be the MIS (Max. Intensity Strength), Power Hour, and Body Max DVD. Even though it is "old," you get so much bang for your buck with these. It is...

    Bring me to my knees.......

    IMO, for cardio I think IMax (the original) is hardest. People say MIC is, but I haven't given MIC a fair shake because I go beyond a certian number of jumping jacks and my workout is interrupted, understand? Over and over during the same workout. :o For strength training, I believe you...

    Ouch, my back

    I did some foolish things and injured my lower back. It has been years since I last did this, but two days ago I managed to do it again. It was raining, and in order to expose my plants to the rain, I moved them away from the house where the eave protects them from rain. It was muddy, and...

    Ah yes, the Stop Eating Crap cult! I was wondering where they went. I need to hear much, much more from you guys! I think I'll stop eating crap now- the chewing was so noisy I couldn't hear what you were saying! :-) Con.

    This has nothing to do with exercise...

    Wow, how satisfying and draining at the same time! Let us know when it's ready to buy! I just finished reading Night Fall by Nelson DeMille. What a good writer and a good story! Left us hanging for the sequel. Thanks for letting us in on it! -C.

    Update on "what to do with the presents"

    RE: Update on Hey Lori, I would do what the other posters said. I would let them know (if they call) that "something came up" on the 27th and you can't make it. Then say "Let's get together soon," the way people do when they don't mean it. Make sure there is no sarcasm at all in your...
