    Chalean Extreme or stick with Cathe?

    STS is better if you look for a serious program. I just started CLX and I like that the workouts are under 40 minutes. The major selling factor was the workout time for me. CLX is also good for mixing things up, working out to a different instructor. Is it necessary? Not at all. If one...

    Your students still have hands on art class, cool! Art was the first to go as they cut the budget a few years ago. Even the art class in high school is just art history.

    Growth Hormones Linked to Obesity?

    I read an article that blamed high fructose corn syrup for obesity. It cited a study in which rats were given regular sugar or high fructose corn syrup. The ones that ate the sugar did not gain weight, the other ones were gaining weight. The reasoning was that our body knows how to break down...

    should my puppy stay or go?

    I would take the dog to a no-kill shelter and leave a big donation. Explain the situation. One of our no-kill shelters has a great group of volunteers who work with real difficult dogs. Maybe yours does, too and Georgie will get a second chance. Maybe a resue group for this particular kind of...

    Beware of Woodstock Farms products

    I am trying to support U.S. food growers/producers by buying stuff that's grown/made in the U.S. Walmart for example still has some stuff made in the U.S. It is actually sad that products made thousands of miles away and that have to be transported to the U.S. are cheaper than products made...

    Fighting cancer with diet and exercise

    A healthy diet and exercise can help prevent cancer and even helps if you are diagnosed with it. However, there are a lot of books out there that claim this and that and sometimes starting a witch hunt on certain foods, which is not necessary. Yes, green tea is healthy but I would stay away...

    What's so bad about dairy?

    Actually, it is as black and white as that. Carbonated drinks (especially soda) is also increasing with the westernization of China. Carbonated drinks are linked to brittle bones. So one cannot say, they drink more milk and that's why they have more osteoporosis. They are also drinking more...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    This thread inspired me to buy new panties! I am 42 and have been wearing Hanes Hi Cuts forever, because they are comfy and show no panty lines. I used to have a couple of nicer ones but never replaced them... I bought 12 new panties today! Lots of lace, mostly thongs, and a couple of...

    So sad my dog won't stop biting!

    Get the puppy tired! Puppies have so much energy, I would take the dog for long speedy walk. As soon as the dog wants to be the boss, I'd nip it in the butt, have a rolled up paper handy. I wonder if the dog senses that you are afraid and uncertain what to do and that is why the puppy is...

    Unseasonably warm weather anyone?

    After this harsh winter we had, I am not complaining about the 80's. We had 70's and 80's every day last week and I loved it! I could hang laundry outside. It's not humid yet, so it was comfortable to spend the whole day outside. I did all my homework on the porch since everyone else was at...

    I have 14 oz Everlast boxing gloves. However, my fingers seem to be too long for the gloves and they kinda crunch in there. I need to check out the fingerless boxing gloves.

    Invisible dog fence anyone?

    We have an electric fence and our dogs do not cross it for anything. The Husky has a stubborn dog collar and we had to shave her neck for the first six months we had the fence because she could not feel the shock. We also have a fenced in area, that's where they go at night or if we take a...

    Sub for flour.......

    I would just slowly replace the white all purpose flour with whole wheat for pastries. For breads, since I mainly do european hearth breads, I use a lot of whole grain rye flour, flakes, berries and whole wheat. I would also stay away from bleached, self rising flour. No matter what flour you...

    I'm shrinking and not in a good way!

    Laying on an inversion table before measuring the height can add up to two inches. Nevertheless, loosing height could be a sign of osteoporosis and I would have a bone density test.

    Breast Question

    Since it is blood coming out, I would go to the doctor and have it checked out ASAP. It might be just an infection because of not nursing, but better safe than sorry. Young age and no family history is no guarantee that it could not be breast cancer. Good luck.
