Lisa, I am so sorry to hear about Maddy! Don't feel like you're letting her down -- you're doing everything you possibly can to help her. She couldn't ask for a better owner. I hope your new vet can help Maddy (and you). Let us know how the appointment goes. Today I did Tracey Staehle Cardio...

My first workout video... the Firm Vol. 1, back when it was first released. I was a Firm Believer until the company changed hands and I found Cathe's workouts instead. Thanks for the info -- I didn't know. :(

She's well on her way... How sad that this woman's primary goal in life is to abuse her body into an early grave, set a bad example for her daughter, and exploit herself to pay for it. Just pathetic.

Murphy, that Wii Island Run is so funny! If you go too fast, you trip. If you go too slowly, everybody passes you. But I like it because it's the only way I can get DS to do anything remotely close to exercise.... Hey, it's a video game! Now if we could make homework a video game, my problems...

Nope! Too wobbly... but I can do regular ball pikes, and I'll just have to settle for that.

Hi, everybody! I did Art of Strength Santa Monica this morning. For those of you who aren't familiar with AOS videos, most are named for where they're filmed (Providence, Newport, York, Santa Monica)... and it was just so tough! I don't know how I'm going to manage Insanity, because these...

Response to BreckGirl: I just did it on Saturday. It seems to be on beat most of the time, but I've noticed that it is also off sometimes. I don't usually notice that sort of thing, but it threw me off a bit. Still, a great workout and I highly recommend it. Just ignore some choppy camera...

Thanks! I really like PowerStrike -- I'll be on the lookout for the new one!

A June baby! Liann, that is such a nice time of year to have a baby -- not too hot or too cold. I have a May baby, which was a much better time of year than my January baby! And if my calculations were correct, you missed being seriously pregnant during the hottest time of the year (and...

Due date? Liann, what is your due date? You must be so excited! Thanks for sharing!

I just got mine (QVC), so I haven't done it yet... but tomorrow is a cardio day for me -- maybe I should start then? Although, I may want to wait until my last cardio day of my workout week so I can have a day off (or five) to recover! Thanks for the warning... I'm really nervous now! :D

Rent, rent, rent! I would rather rent and love where I live than own and hate it! These days renting isn't such a bad idea, and you can get a good deal from desperate sellers who are willing to take a renter just to help cover cash flow. There is nothing wrong with renting. I wish my sister...

Back from the doctor... he ordered a bunch of tests to figure out if it is pancreas, gall bladder, or stomach. Or maybe something else. He said he'll have test results tomorrow and let me know. In the meantime, he put me on a prescription acid reducer. Thanks for asking -- I'll let you know...

The percentage of Americans without health insurance in 2008 was 15.4%, according to census figures: http://www.webmd.com/healthy-aging/news/20090910/more-americans-have-no-health-insurance

Lisa, I'm sorry to hear about the carcinoma! My father and a friend of mine have both had the Mohs procedure, where they take off tiny layers and examine them, and keep going till they come up clean. I hope you're okay. You're so fair (and you have blue eyes, don't you?)... sun really does a...

No offense, but the VA hospitals have been under fire in the past year or so for wide-ranging problems. A sample: http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/news/local/87182102.html http://www.aboutlawsuits.com/va-hospital-problems-to-be-examined-4222/...

More times than I care to admit, but only with pull-on stretchy ones that have no visible clues; only a weird fit. I'm sure nobody noticed! :D

Liann, I love your visual aids! Here is one source on cause and effect: http://www.literacymatters.org/content/text/cause.htm Though I'm not sure that this affects the main point of the thread.... :D

It's "effect." To bring about (as in, "It caused an effect.").

My day off... But I'm checking in to say "hi." The boss apologized for his behavior... I'm only a little bit mollified, though. It's going to take more than that to un-ruffle my feathers. I had to put "feathers" in there, in honor of the bird discussion! I don't like birds, either. They're...
