    Going to Napa! Suggestions?

    Eat here: http://www.botteganapavalley.com/index.html I haven't been back to Napa since it opened, but Michael Chiarello is a great chef, so it should be awesome.

    Two weeks of faithful exercise, GAINED 4 pounds!!

    I agree that the first option is the best, and the young women of today seem to "get it" much more than my generation do. We baby boomers need to stop weighing ourselves so much and trying to be thin at all costs.

    Two weeks of faithful exercise, GAINED 4 pounds!!

    Sounds like your main goal is weight loss. If you're anything like me: If you want to be healthy, eat well and get lots of exercise. If you want to be thin, eat healthy, but light and go light on the exercise. Reduce from 6 days to 2 or 3 days, or spend less time at it each day. Either...

    Power Hour DVD

    PH is one of the few truly pure endurance workouts Cathe has ever done, and it's more fun and goes by faster than Muscle Endurance. Cathe is very upbeat and the music is great, IMO. If that's what you're looking for, I would buy it for that. I don't particularly recommend MIS, which I think...

    Oh, I'm so glad you had a great time, Gayle! Did Sophie run? I hope the others check in here. I saw that Evily's DH did great, but that's all I was able to find out. Congratulations to all!!

    Anyone else not have a use for ipad?

    That may be true of some, but I doubt it's true of most. A lot of people really love the latest technology, and I can understand why. It simplifies and streamlines our lives AND makes them more fun! Even though I don't need it, I wouldn't be surprised if I wind up with an ipad eventually. It...

    Anyone else not have a use for ipad?

    I've been looking at videos on youtube and I think I totally get why it's so popular. It's not so much what the ipad can do, but HOW it does it that makes it so irresistible. The idea of no mouse and no touchpad. The ipad has a more natural feel because of its very advanced touchscreen. It...

    Anyone else not have a use for ipad?

    Liann, I could have written YOUR post. I also can't imagine reading anything of substance on a backlit computer screen. My eyes get tired so quickly. I don't think the ipad makes it in the e-reader category, except for magazines and picture-oriented reading materials. Tammy, why would you...

    Anyone else not have a use for ipad?

    Fidget and Wendy, I guess that's my point. Not that it has to fit into a pre-existing category, but what use does it serve? What explains so many people camping outside stores before dawn? Maybe it's just a visceral thing. I hear once you see it, you just WANT IT even if you don't know why...

    Bloating from Hell

    I agree that the SlimFast bars sound like the culprit. I definitely recommend switching to Larabars. They may be small, but they are filling and are truly clean. I would watch out for Lunabars, as they have plenty of artificial ingredients, and I had to stop eating them because they added too...

    Anyone else not have a use for ipad?

    It looks so cool, but how would I use it? As a mobile device: It would fit into my purse, and they make a nice cover to protect it, but I'm constantly running around and I can't imagine carrying another 1.5 lbs. in my bag. My Kindle weighs 10 oz. and even that feels a tad heavy sometimes...

    addicted to salads

    Me too!! I've always been this way. And my salads just keep getting bigger over the years. I used to use a single sized bowl, but now I make my dinner in a big serving bowl. I usually have 4-6 ozs. of protein like chicken, tuna or salmon, and then a ton of mostly raw veggies. Lettuce...

    Another Book Thread

    I'm supposed to be reading a book called "Spooner" for my book club, but I read a sample and I just didn't want to read anymore. So I gave myself a break and picked up City of Bones by Michael Connelly. I'm underwhelmed by his writing abilities, but it's a nice, easy read with an interesting...

    Need help with trip to London

    Tour groups are fine for certain places where they don't speak English, but you don't need a group to visit London. Everyone speaks English (amazing!) ;). Your first day in London, take a bus tour. Get on a double decker tour bus that takes you all over the city. The tour guide points out...

    Motion Sickness

    Bonine works just as well as dramamine, and does not cause drowsiness. Be sure to take it at the first sign of queasiness.

    Help me order off this restaurant menu

    "Italian restaurant down the street"!!!! LOL!!! That's a Michael Chiarello restaurant! I'm so jealous. It doesn't matter what you order, and the wait staff will do your wine pairing for you. No matter what you order, it's going to be one of the best meals of your life. Let us know all the...
