    EB and unwanted advertising - vent

    Carola is one of Cathe's most faithful fans and the most honest and articulate woman I've ever come across on the net - even though we've never met! I entirely agree with her post... EB is not superior and even more of a disgrace for their PR campaigns... Love Cathe though, and maybe she...

    Michael Jackson -- Cardiac Arrest

    He had a bizarre upbringing and no one to teach him limits,boundaries and appropriateness - hence I am highy suspect of the accusations against him...unlike OJ,he kept the respect and friendship of people like Quincy Jones,Liz Taylor, Brooke Shields...and when they interviewed the "mothers" of...

    What is your favourite Michael Jackson song?

    You are Not Alone (ok, I fell for it and wanted he and LisaMarie to be madly in love!)....Billie Jean, Blame in Boogy,and of COURSE, ABC - I sang it in 4th grade and so did my KIDS!

    My one year anniversary

    Carola - I had no idea......I always enjoyed your insightful posts, and love that you are insane about dogs like I am....With cancer, its not like you didn't do the responsible thing - you DID have traditional treatment - surgery - which is curative in so many cases....FYI, 3 people I knew with...

    Cathe now everywhere and now QVC

    Oh didn't mean to stir anything up at all.... I was defending all the attacks people are spewing at her increasing visibility...I always believed she deserved more publicity for her excellent products..... her products are easily equal to or superior to other products...Maybe she needs to...

    Cathe now everywhere and now QVC

    There's another thing too - if she's going to be a single mom - NJ is notoriously communally property/split everything,including kids equally,and she could lose half of all she's built....I don't blame her.... The Squeeze girl just went Gaim because its not the money maker it would seem to be...

    Doctors say obesity isn't a disability

    Yeah, I agree with the AMA for the most part......but I don't dismiss the pathology - almost a psycho sexual fettish kind of thing that occurs in the supermorbidly obese - they are truly different psychologically (talking over 400lbs-600 plus!) and the neurosis may truly be disabling - I've...

    S-curve scoliosis

    I do Critical Care,not teenage curvature, and my daughter, with a huge growth spurt, sprung a 48 and 42 degree S curve....back in the day, the tx was always the Harrington rod or the brace (which we've found out didn't work and put pals of mine through a lot of hell in teen years)....she's...

    Anyone else not feel sorry for...

    The thing is - if these two were back at square one, broke,him not holding jobs, her working 16 hrs in nsg with all her ocd and control issues (and granted, one NEEDs to have a schedule with that mob) - those children would be abused....poverty would've ended this marriage much earlier. At...

    Farrah's Story

    It's anal cancer - one that generallly plays fair and the doc quoted cure rates upwards of 90percent...hers is a very rare aggressive form, but even so, it seemed they were optimistic on its being treatable, just hers seems to have gone too far and knocked the stuffins out of her....In 20 years...

    Interesting article for those who eat soy

    Great info - soy got too much press for a long time and is now implicated (in high amts taken regularly,don't know the exact numbers) in thyroid dysfunction and estrogen imbalance-cancer implication being there - but again don't know the exact amts..........I do know with the babies in...

    Jon and Kate plus 8

    I originally felt for Kate because he made fun of her body,and made hurtful remarks... she was doing SOOO much and getting nutty with the schedule charts etc.....but as time went on...he rose to the occasion,and became a dutiful dad and husband (note I say dutiful,not adoring husband!)...But...

    Kettlebell Rotations

    I'm counting the Kbs as cardio (hiit but 40 minutes worth),and then a vigorous weight workout like NYC,or Jari, or a Cathe....the 5th day, is after my 13 hour work day so if I do anything it will be a core workout, walk the dogs a mile or two, or a Tracy Anderson or part of squeeze...Actually...

    Portable a/c?

    You all are my gurus on everything..My house is horrid at cooling the upstairs -my son's room simply doesn't cool off enough....it would cost a fortune to go dual zone and add another a/c, and the window ones would look awful since his room faces the front, so has anyone had any experience with...

    Kettlebell Rotations

    I find when I do Heart rate, I'm in the 85 percent zone in most of the intervals in KBway 1&2...so my other two days are weights like muscle max, or something off of 4day split, or Kelly's NYC workout...and usually a day with Squeeze Stronger or TA Mat(oops, did I say that?!)....
