    Mommy dilemma - what would you do?

    My daughter went to a daycare that had preschool hours during the day, but that was because I was in school. IMO, preschool's purpose for preparing children for school is not necessarily to have them learn everything, it is to have them learn how to function and behave in a classroom setting...

    Looking for a good yoga DVD recommendation

    What kind of yoga are you looking for? For power yoga, I love Power Yoga for Happiness by Eoin Finn. For a more relaxing kind, I have really taken a liking to Candlelight Yoga by Sara Ivanhoe.

    Critter in my house!! Mortifying! (LONG)

    I find it hilarious that you have named this rat. Don't feel like your house is less than clean for finding a rat in your house. Several years ago, they were building a new subdivision near our house. We're guessing that all the construction drove the field mice into our neighborhood and we...

    Aerobics shoes inserts?

    That's interesting that they have those. I used NB several years ago but stopped because their shoes just don't have enough cushion for me (although they fit my feet VERY well). The guy at the shoe store said it was because so many people take them out and use other inserts instead. I thought...

    Critter in my house!! Mortifying! (LONG)

    Good luck. A few months ago we had a mouse in our kitchen that would eat the food out of the trap without triggering the trap. It got to the point where it was really funny, but that's probably because it wasn't coming out into the main part of the kitchen where we could actually see it...

    Is your dog a killer, too?

    I just saw this on the VF forum...thought anyone here might want to read it as it is very timely with this thread. http://forum.videofitness.com/showthread.php?t=135490

    New Social Group: "For Beginers and Intermediates"

    There's that 'IF' word. Don't set yourself up for failure or give yourself an excuse to stop Saying 'if' will make it more okay if you sink as opposed to swim because you didn't start out by saying 'when' you succeed. To me, it sounds like you are expecting to be able to do everything from...

    Is your dog a killer, too?

    I've been trying to stay out of this discussion but finally decided to pipe in. I completely agree with this statement. I know for a fact that my dogs are not well behaved enough to be off of a leash outside of the house. One of them would turn around and shimmy out of his collar so they have...

    OMG Hand sanitizer damage

    Ellie, isopropyl alcohol is what I used in the lab to take the permanent marker (what I used to mark what solutions were in which bottles) off of the glass and plastic bottles. But I used rubber gloves when using it!

    There's a bunny in my yard!

    My dog found a little bunny in our yard the other day. It was hiding behind a folded up lounge chair between it and the deck. He acted like it was a porcupine or something becuase he'd go to smell it and then jerk back, wondering what the heck it was (he's a big 90 pound wuss...

    Weird back sensation

    Maybe you've got a pinched nerve? I hope you are able to get in soon.

    NEED ADVICE-SON'S WEIGHT

    I absolutely agree with this. We have Wii sports, Wii fit, and Dance Dance Revolution (we have the Disney version) is a lot of fun and does actually work up a sweat! We have a large trampoline that DD likes to jump on (we have a net around it) and bike rides are a lot of fun. Sometimes we'll...

    My Bisquit is sick

    I hope your Bisquit is doing better today...perhaps she just ate something that disagreed with her or had a little bug as happens to us sometimes.

    What do you think?

    Well, I guess I'll pop in with my two cents. As far as birthday treats go, my daughter has come home before with an uneaten lunch because of all the birthday treats brought in. I personally think it's a better idea to have one day a month to celebrate all that month's birthdays. And I have no...

    Anyone been to Bermuda?

    Laura, my family took a RC cruise to Bermuda last October...we left from NY. We all liked it there. We were only on the island for a day and a half, but it was really nice.

    How tall is too tall?

    Here's my opinion on the matter...I'm 5'3" and you will never find me wearing heels, even low ones. I hate them and find them uncomfortable and have embraced my shortness. Out of all the women I've seen wearing heels, though, I tend to think it is really cool to see a tall woman wearing them...

    sleepbarking dogs...

    My dogs wag their tails and bark in their sleep. One of them actually sits up and howls in his sleep occasionally. It's really creepy when he does it in the middle of the night!

    My first concert was in my sophomore year. I saw Jane's Addiction.
