    Help - any nurses? Doctors?

    To add to everyone elses comments, cramping can be caused by dehydration as well. Are you drinking enough plain old water?

    Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

    I've been waiting too long for this movie. Ihaven't seen a movie on the big screen in 2 years but I plan to see this one. It's already marked on the calendar! Savvy! BTW, I was reading a review of the movie online somewhere and they said Jack was more off a swishbuckler than a...

    Let the temperature wars begin....

    My war with DH is about leaving the windows open or turning on the AC. I prefer the AC set about 78. He prefers the stifling humidity with the windows open. (it's a money thing) The problem is I can't sleep with road nose going past the house. Especially, motorcyles at 4am.

    Most common baby names

    DH and I also wanted traditional names. We felt it was important not curse the child with a lifetime of having people mispronounce or misspell their names. We were thinking of Moon Unit and Dweezel Zappa for example. So, we have a Matthew and an Andrew. Neither first name is a family name...

    Who do you sit next to on the beach?

    I'm trying to think of a response to this but all I can muster is a drop jaw stare. :o All I guess I can say is I feel better about myself now. Somebody should tell the wife that DH will look best in clothes that fit properly regardless of size!

    Is there a "new to Cathe" but not a beginner rotation?

    I'm new to Cathe but not to working out. The posted rotations are probably a little above me but something I can work towards. Is there a not so advanced rotation posted somewhere? thanks

    Dryer problems

    My first thought is the vent hose is clogged somewhere. But, then I thought it may not be the dryer at all. I had a problem a number of years ago where the washer was going and it wasn't ringing the clothes out as well. If the clothes are wetter going into the dryer, they will take even...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The first car I bought and paid for was in 1977. It was a 1965 Ford Falcon. It was literally driven by an elderly retired woman and only had 65,000 miles on it. It was purchased with all the options. It actually had power windows and AC. I thought I was in heaven for the price of $500...

    Cathe-Rubberband on wrist significant?

    I always thought that cueing the opposite must be very confusing and a skill that must be learned with practice.

    Anyone watch That '70s Show?

    I lived the 70's as a teen. And, truthfully, the show is funny but not a thing seems like reality to me. It's funny how society looks back on things and basically alter history for the sake of "artistic license". But, that's okay. It's meant to be entertaining not factual. However, I do...

    Has anyone every remodeled a bathroom?

    Black tiles and a flamingo...:7 I think you could manage it on that budget. We are remodeling our house as we speak. We have been pricing out bathroom fixtures etc. You can save money by doing some of it yourself such as demolition, painting, etc. If you have any handy friends or...

    YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S IF...

    Okay, I admit to at least part of this list. By the mid-70's, I was a hip teen...:7 I loved Shrinky Dinks! It was a fun family activity.

    Vacuum cleaner for hardwood floors?

    We recently purchased a Sebo canister vac. It's a german brand with a very powerful motor. It comes with a powered brush head and many other attachments. I use the hard floor head for all my hard surfaces and when I need to vac the stair carpet. We have cats also. And, we have adults...

    swelling ankles

    I have a hard time accepting when a doctor says health problems are a normal part of aging. I agree about the knee-hi's. I think I'm getting spider veins around my knees for that very reason.

    swelling ankles

    This topic came up for me recently so I'll pass on what I think I understood. I had to do some blood work for an insurance policy. It came up low in Fructosamine and Albumin and I had absolutely no blood protein. I looked all this stuff up and figured out they all relate to hydration and...

    Cathe-How are you doing? What did the doc say??

    Cathe, I don't post too often on the boards but I wanted to this time. I sure this whole thing has been very exasperating for you. This is impairing your ability to do your job. I sit in front of a PC all day and I think it would be the same for me if I couldn't type. Things need to get...
