    need help with a legal question.

    Although I have no idea which state law we are talking about, I'm going to hazard a guess and say that if your MIL has a life estate in the property, there is probably a will and that will was probably probated. So, as Mackenzie said, you are probably going to want to see a copy of that Will...

    Workouts for the rest of us?

    Are there any videos on the market for intermediate to advanced exercisers who suffer from common, garden variety lower back pain and want to avoid making it worse? I do my best at modifying, but I'm never really sure how to modify correctly, and I never seem to get it right. Given that 50% of...

    (Another) Clean Eating question

    I agree that you should stick with what's working for you. I just wanted to add that I used to eat Luna bars also, but had to stop when my doc said my iron level was too high. I switched to Larabars and the problem went away. However, I'm all for having a few processed foods as part of your...

    At what point... did you ditch the bad foods?!?

    I agree with Dee Dee. Whole Foods, Fairway, Trader Joes. These stores and many others are filled with yummy delicious healthy foods. This season, I could eat a quart of blueberries in one sitting. You do have to work up to it slowly, though (for me, it's been gradual over the course of about...

    OK 'fess up, who's caught royal wedding fever?

    I remember watching the wedding of Charles and Diana, and believing, just the tiniest bit, in the fantasy of it all. I had respect and admiration for Diana over the years. The way that marriage ended, and the way Diana ended, turned it into a horror story for me. Now, I cannot watch even a...

    Feeling discouraged.. and arm cellulite question lol

    Mill, I recommend you change doctors. There are doctors who do not give out medications that cause weight gain as a side effect, because they know the weight gain just exacerbates the depression for most women. Also, they can add medications that help depression and also rev up your...

    I loved it. Why don't they bring back the e-trade babies?

    Another Book Thread :)

    I love book threads! I'm currently reading Hotel On The Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford for my book group, and the sixth in the J.D. Robb In Death series called Vengeance in Death for escapism. Hotel is an interesting story about the only two Asian students in an all-Caucasian...

    So is fitness officially out of fashion?

    Don't you think it might be the record amount of snow we've had this winter? My Mom is in NJ and she said the walls of snow are over her head! She has been limiting her driving to mostly "necessary" trips.

    Steig Larsson fans

    Resurrecting this old thread I am resurrecting this old thread to say that I had Kate Atkinson's books on my Kindle for almost exactly a year now, and finally read Case Histories. I think Kate Atkinson is now officially my favorite author of all time. :eek: That's how much I loved this book...

    4day split weights ?

    The Troy Light barbell doesn't take up much room. You can stand it up against a wall, and the plates don't take up any more room than DBs do. The bar is only 4.5 feet long. And it lasts so long, you will have to bequeath it in your last will and testament. ;)...

    Anyone else eat the same things most of the time?

    The only time I vary from oatmeal for breakfast is when I'm on vacation. Otherwise, all oatmeal all the time. Love the stuff.

    What's your motivation/matra?

    I love it! Perfect for the risk-averse worrywort like me. Thanks for posting this. Oh, Clare, I still love Susan Harris! What works best for me is imagery. Pictures. Videos. Madonna. Mick Jagger. Sting. Anyone with long, sinewy muscles and great abs who is close to my age. Even...

    Intermediate Abs Strength DVD Recommendations

    Katie, someone here linked to this web page some time ago, and I have been using it ever since. I don't know if other doctors agree with this doctor about crunches being bad for your back, but I figure, why risk it...

    Anyone else eat the same things most of the time?

    Not much varies in my diet from week to week. I have one breakfast that I eat, I have the same lunch about 4 out of 5 weekdays, and maybe 4 or 5 different dinners that I rotate. I do vary my evening fruit by season, but that's about it. I rarely get tired of something I really like. Guess...

    Nook vs Kindle

    Thanks, Suzanne. My taste is very mainstream, so that may be in my favor. I like all the popular mystery writers. I must have spent an hour yesterday reading the Brooklyn Public Library website and I still came away with no clue as to which books are available as e-books. I'll see if the NY...

    Nook vs Kindle

    Thanks. But how does it work as a practical matter? Why can only one person borrow an ebook at a time? Is it because the publishers just decide to license it that way? I guess that makes sense, because who would ever buy a book if you could get all you want from a "library". Okay, here's my...

    Nook vs Kindle

    I have a comment and a question. My comment is that I tried the Color Nook at B&N and it really is the worst of all worlds. Unlike the original Nook or the Kindle, the screen has a shiny glare to it. It fails as an e-reader, and as tablets go, it may be the cheapest, but everything else on...

    People who make smacking sound when eating

    Thanks, Cathy. That is very enlightening. I was thinking that maybe sinus issues could be a cause, too. Also, I tried smacking when I eat and realized that it takes extra effort. Why would someone purposely take extra effort to chew? There may be some people who do it to draw attention to...
