    Valor BD-3 Squat stands

    I know exactly what you mean! You have to be a MacGyver and figure it out yourself for the most part. At first, I had something put together wrong (no thanks to the diagram), but figured it out and got it right. Though maybe a diagram is better than incomprehensible written instructions...

    recommendations for hyperpigmentation

    You can try various acid peels or products from Makeup Artist's Choice: Age Spots, Fade Age Spots Whatever you try (Retin-A, etc.) be sure to always use an SPF sunscreen afterwards, otherwise the spots/splotches will come back.

    Two Pit Bulls Just Killed My Cat

    OMG! That is so sad. I'm so sorry for your loss. What a horrid way to lose a beloved pet. It just breaks my heart. I'm shedding tears for Miss Muffet. I once heard dogs attacking a cat outside, so I know what a horrible sound that is.

    Raw food cookbook?

    I was on a high-raw diet for over 9 months. I basically didn't use grains (except for pseudo grains like quinoa and buckwheat that I soaked and germinated. Sprouted raw buckwheat that is then dehydrated makes a wonderful cereal, with a crunch like Grape Nuts. It also can be used in place of nuts...

    Your advice on new DVD's to buy other than Cathe

    I'd recommend Athletica and Supreme 90. (S90 is kind of a no-brainer because of the price: even if you only like 2 of the workouts, it's worth it, but many people like most of them).

    treating minor burn

    Aloe vera is great for burns, especially if you use the gel from the leaf of the live plant.

    At what point... did you ditch the bad foods?!?

    ITA! It also takes a while to adapt your taste buds and to ween yourself from the artificial stimulation many 'edible substances' (should we even call some of them food?) provide. I used to be a junk-food junkie through adolescence and high-school. When I went to college and got involved with...

    heavy or light

    I use both what I consider "moderate" weights (failure at around 15 reps for upper body and 25ish for lower body) and "heavy" weights (failure at around 8-10 reps for upper, 12-15 for lower). For strength, the 'heavy' weights work best, but for visible results, 'moderate' weights work best for...

    Exploratory Surgery for my cat

    Botteki, I'm glad to hear you've been able to find a way to help your kitty and that she is doing better. I second this recommendation! My dearly departed Scooter, who was diabetic, went through a period when he was throwing up a lot, lost weight, and otherwise was doing poorly. The vet...

    link to video for kitty lovers

    I saw this on Facebook: cute! But the 'hug' is something that some 1/2 sleeping kitties do even if there's nothing to hug. I've seen my cat Pete do it several times, and since there's no kitten to hug, he ends up hugging his own head!

    Exploratory Surgery for my cat

    Sending you and your kitty positive vibes. I hope they do find something that is fixable. I'm sure the not knowing and the waiting are both difficult.

    Cabbage soup diet

    Any drastic reduction in calories (like the cabbage soup diet) will result in weight loss so, yes, it can help one lose weight in the short term...but it will usually be temporary. I'm sure the proponents of this diet all stress the weight loss, but don't say anything about long-term sustained...

    What are your Holiday plans this Weekend?

    Doing a 5k on Monday (and hoping to have some walkable weather before that so I can get in a few miles, and heat adapt...it's supposed to be in the 90's, and the last few days have been rainy and in the 50s/60s!)

    Exploratory Surgery for my cat

    {{{Karenvictoris}}}I'm so sorry you and your kitty are going through this. It's so frustrating and upsetting when our fur kids are suffering and no one can figure out how to help them. Exploratory surgery does seem drastic. I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I think I'd go with...

    Tattoo Removal

    I remember your threads from a while back about the tattoo. Hope you find a way to get it corrected that doesn't break the bank.I agree with Trixie: can you find some way to have a minimal amount of it lazered off and have the new artist rework what's left?

    Crazy Diver, This is sooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That diving platform does remind me of the push-pull tower/Turbo tower. That plus a rebounder and we could do the same thing....:D According to the note under the vid, he was the co-inventor of the trampoline. Interesting.

    pets

    My current cats couldn't care less about my working out, but my dear, departed Scooter used to join me quite often for floorwork and cooldowns. He also liked to lick sweat off of me while I was lying on the floor. Once, I was doing chest flys lying on the step and he jumped on my chest and...
