    Morton's Neuroma shoes

    I think my neuroma is from a combination of things. I use to wear Ryka sneakers, I think the toe box was not wide enough for my toes, a lot of high impact, and the elliptical put a lot of pressure on the ball of my foot. When my neuroma was at it's worse I felt like I was standing on...

    Morton's Neuroma shoes

    The orthotics where customers made at my district's office. They take the pressure off the nerve by straightening my hammer toes. They also have an arch support. Well worth the price.

    Gym styles vs Xtrain

    The first 3 DVDs of Xtrain sound a lot like the Gym style DVDs, other than the fact that the gym styles work one body part to exhaustion. The counts in both sets are not too different from each other according to the description of Xtrain. Can someone explain the difference between the two and...

    Pet fish recommendation please!

    Just a little funny. We got a gold fish for my son who was about 4 years old at the time (now 18yrs old). We put the gold fish in his room in a gold fish bowl. My son had one of those Little Tyke ride on cars with a small trunk. I found him in his room riding the car with the fish in the trunk...

    Sean O'malley's sister speaks about his passing

    Stacey, Thank you for sharing Colleen's post. You can never really know what a person feels about themselves. They may seem vibrant and out going but truly dieing on the inside. My heart goes out to the O'malley family and may they find closure. Depression is a terrible thing to live with. I had...

    Remembering Sean O'Malley

    For me, I think the family needs time to process everything that has happened. They need time to grieve and come to grips with all that has passed. I think they will let the public (Sean's public) know when they themselves are able to take a breath.

    Thoughts on invisible fencing?

    We have an invisible fence that did not need any digging or wires in the ground. We have a transister in our basement that sends out a signal. My doodle trained very fast. She is 3 yrs old and we only have the collar on so that it beeps. She never leaves the yard. We are always home when she is...

    Anyone uses pull-up bands on the Iron Gym pull-up bar?

    Yes, that is exactly how I use mine ( door frame pull up bar). No problem with it slipping. I only bought one and it is very thick. I do have to climb on a chair to get my foot into the loop, but I am a shorty (5ft tall ;)). I like how it is easy to put up and take down. I also use my pull bar...
