A bit over a year ago, I completely ruptured my L5 S1 disk (think disk gunk flowing out all around the nerves) and tore the disc at L4 L5. My calf muscle stopped working and my foot was always numb. I had the worst sciatica (at least I thought so:)). I was told that surgery was my best option...

I totally believe in this rule as well. I'm 5'11" and back in the day when I actually did wear high heals, I limited the heel height to that which I felt would not cause me to tip over. I made out pretty well until I reached 6'3". At that height I became a hazard. High heels are bad for...

I can't provide my opinion on cell phone users yet because I can't get past the part where the person goes to the atm machine AFTER their order was rung up. What's the deal with that? How hard would it have been to stop at the atm before shopping? Or, here's a brilliant idea...couldn't she...

How cool is this...I had a ton of credit card award points to cash in, so I was looking at all their fitness stuff. Just about all the "Fitness By Cathe" products were offered so I picked out Cathe's weighted gloves and a set of her ankle weights. So, if you have a reward offering credit card...

Here's another HUGE ColdPlay fan. Saw them last summer in Philly and got hooked. Unfortunately, I was out of town when they were back in town this past weekend. I expect to become a big Adam-who-should-have-won-American-Idol Lambert fan too. Shelbygirl

I've used it for sandwiches, but found that it didn't keep very long at all out of the fridge. Within five days or so, it got moldy. I'll have to try putting it in the fridge on day 1. Shelbygirl

I'm betting that Jacob isn't really dead and that the one who died at the end just had the appearance of Jacob. Who do you think the dude in black is? What I'll do to handle the loss of Lost is when the season comes out on DVD, I'll get it and time it so that I'm done re-watching it right in...

At least you passed all the hard stuff. (Does that make you feel any better?). When stuff doesn't go right for me, I often think about all the people who have it way worse. So, think of the people out there who had to take it four or five times. Also think of the people (and by people, I...

I also received this one in a trade, only I totally forgot about it until this thread. It sounds like I should give it a try and soon. Shelbygirl

I tried eating the shell once, just because. That thing will pass right through you looking the same as it did when it went in! I do love the little guys inside though. Shelbygirl

HI Lisa. So sorry to hear about your troubles. Honestly, though, I'd get your second opinion from someone who is not necessarily a surgeon. Neurosurgeons make their money by doing surgery. I had the same problem. I ruptured a disc at L5-S1 (picture the disc gunk spilling out all over the...

Yeah, it was quite a surprise. I actually feel kind of bad for Ty. He's at the mercy of the voting public, and he totally looks like he's ready to go next. Now, he's stuck going to the semi finals, where he is going to look like crap and have to take the sometimes quite nasty and not overly...

Thanks, Cynthia. That does help! Shelbygirl

I was wondering this too...are all cathe's ankle weights listed with the weight per pair or is the weight per ankle? In other words, what does "2 lb. ankle weights" mean - 2 lbs each side or 1 lb each side? Shelbygirl

Hi Karen. Obviously I'm not SNM, but I just ordered the pull up tower and had the same question. Check out your order confirmation again. Mine had a line that said "code 761, discount coupon code" with $0.00 listed as the price. The coupon code is the part in capital letters. Shelbygirl

FYI...I was looking at these the other day, and it looks like they come in three sizes (S, M, L). I was debatiing getting these for kickboxing, but I already have 2lb wtd gloves (with 2 lbs on each hand) so I probably don't need these as well. But, you never know... Shelbygirl

I used my 20% on the pull up tower pre-order. Shelbygirl

Yes, the question has been asked a couple times before, but to be honest, it hasn't really been answered yet. Hopefully we'll know more soon. Shelbygirl

I always used a 9 lb. body bar. The way the body bar is used in the video, I think 18 lbs. would be much too heavy. Shelbygirl

Hey TarHeelMom Villanova has been on fire lately, so you guys are going down!!!! (At least I can dream, right?). Have fun watching the game on Saturday. Dont' forget, it starts not at 8:45 nor 8:50 East Coast time, but at 8:47. Shelbygirl
