    Where do you store your equipment?

    I used to exercise in my living room and I know what a pain hauling out weights can be. I bought a huge wicker basket and put my dumbbells in it. I then covered the weights with a throw and some pillows. No one ever suspected that there was a couple hundred pounds of weights beneath such cute...

    How did Carol Brady spend her day?!?!?

    Don't forget that in the 70's bathrooms were not what they are today. It was very rare for a middle income family to have a house with a powder room, master bathroom or guest bath. Most homes just had one bathroom. I remember going to a friend's house in the early 70's and her parents had...

    Need Some Non Fitness Advice

    Gabrielle - How about something that you cannot buy in Milan? I don't know where in AZ you are, but what about something native American? Basketry, silver jewelry? Second, I think you should contact your friend (or her mother). Often the years just melt away. If she doesn't want to see...

    AMC's The Killing

    I'm really enjoying this show, but I wish it would stop raining. I lived in Seattle for a year and it does not rain - especially pour - 24/7. The actors portraying the parents are doing a phenomenal job, their grief is almost tangible. Debbie Russo

    Darth Vadar Superbowl Ad

    Okay, I think that this is the cutest ad I have ever seen. My 5-year-old nephew is total gaga over Star Wars and this ad just nails it. It totally could have been him under the cape and mask. I want to buy a VW just because of it. :D The person that came up with this concept certainly...

    Hey ZOMBIE fans.....

    So glad to see other people enjoying this show. I thought that I was the only one. The story line and the characters are so well defined. My favorite scene was the aerial shot of the zombies swarming the horse. What great filming! Gotta love the zombies. I wonder if they (the zombies)...

    Changing Mark Twain

    Just saw a news blurb that Huck Finn will become politically correct. In an effort to make some readers more comfortable, certain words will be changed. For example "the n" word will now become slave and I suspect Injun Joe will be called Indigenous American Joe. What do you think? I DO...

    Illegal to check cheating spouse's email?

    Really! What if he opened snail mail and read a letter? Is that mail fraud? What if he went through her pockets and found something incriminating? Is that tresspassing? Illegal search and seizure? (I watch a lot of L&O):D What if he overheard a phone conversation? Surely eavesdropping...

    One of the best things I have ever done for myself. I had fillers done for the first time in July of 2009. I had the nasal folds and the corners of my mouth filled. Very little discomfort, minor swelling and a tiny bruise at one corner of my mouth. The results lasted for 12 months (I...
