    Blockbuster.com....Vent!

    I got an email that my price is going from 14.99 to 16.99. We don't watch many movies, only 1-2 per week. I am going to cancel.

    Anyone use BookSwim?

    I would consider something like that for a lower price. I too use the library for almost everything. The biggest problem I've had is that I often like to read books that are very popular and have a long waiting list. For example, I once waited several weeks to get my hands on A Thousand...

    does anyone do primarily yoga?

    One summer I did yoga classes three time a week, alternating that with hiking and jogging workouts. I remember that my arms and sholders became very sleek and defined, and even now looking back at pics from that summer, I can see the definition. I do remember that afterwards, in the fall, when I...

    Should kids be forced to take Piano lessons?

    Hi, I don't have any children, but I do remember taking piano lessons as a child. I remember telling my mom that I didn't want to play the piano, that I wanted to play the guitar, and she told me that to play any instrument, the piano was a good place to start. So I took the lessons. I didn't...

    For those planning to get married

    My husband and I made almost all our decisions together. I probably did more research into different options than he did, but he had a great idea about how to display the cake (we got a stump with several branches coming out of it. My brother in law sanded, varnished it, decorated it with...

    The Funniest Movie

    Oh my goodness! You guys are awesome! I started listing all the suggestions on a piece of paper and soon ran out of room. I am going to have to find a high-speed connection to use while looking up and adding all these to my queue or it will take all night! LOL! Thanks too for the TV show...

    The Funniest Movie

    Hi all! I'm looking for some really fun, hilarious movies to add to my blockbuster queue... so I thought I'd ask: What is the funniest movie you've ever seen? My vote goes for Anchorman. Steve Carroll made me laugh so hard in that I couldn't breathe...

    Can anyone recommend good yoga w/o's?

    I would recommend Stott Pilates Simple Stretches as a good place to start. Even though it's made by the Stott Pilates people, it's a yoga DVD, about 40 min. long, with great stretches for your whole body. ETA: If you have netflix or blockbuster online, you can try this video (and lots of...

    would you change the way you were married?

    I really like your idea of having family join you for a dinner, but I have friends who did the Justice of the Peace thing too (DH & I were their witnesses). I guess it depends on what you want the focus of the day to be. Our friends who did the JOP route first hiked to a spot on a...

    Anyone have a recipe...

    for healthy granola/ energy/ breakfast bars? I'd like something I can grab on my way out the door for breakfast. Most of what I'm finding on the internet is full of sugar! TIA for any recipes! :)

    hand lotion?

    Thanks, everyone. You've given me some great excuses to go shopping. :) I especially liked the suggestion someone made to add a few drops of essential oil to a lotion.

    My dogs stink!

    We use the bathtub. The bathroom can get pretty messy when we break down and wash our 50+ pound dog! I also saw this recently in a catalog: http://www.gardeners.com/Pet-Wash-Kit/default/34-827.prd If your bathroom/ kitchen is near a window/ door to the outdoors, you may be able to pass...

    hand lotion?

    Does anyone out there have a favorite hand lotion? I am looking for something with an SPF and a nice scent to keep at work. I sampled the Bath and Body Works "Look Ma New Hands!" last night, and it seemed nice, but you gals (and guys :P ) always seem to know the best beauty secrets. TIA.:-)

    Amazon selling dogfighting DVD

    Hi all, I just spent some time looking up articles about amazon on the hsus website. In one published in June, there is a statement that amazon has told courts is has stopped selling the two dogfighting DVD's (although they still maintain that they have the legal right to sell them). They...

    30 Day Veg Pledge

    RE: Check-in is up and running Being vegetarian is really pretty simple. I switched over in middle school; my mom was at first a little flustered by this, as my dad was at that time, a very meat-and-potatoes-focused type of person (he's come around now. :) ), and she wasn't sure what she was...

    Green Tea?

    Do you like chai spice flavors? Yogi tea makes a fantastic "Organic Green Chai Tea"... They also make a "redbush" one (I think that is the same thing, but with the rooibos tea other posters have mentioned.)

    rainy wedding day

    You will have a great day! The morning of my wedding, I went for a run... through sprinkles! (A little unnerving as we had planned a morning outdoor wedding). When I returned from the run, I grabbed the paper and the forecast was for more showers and "morning thunder"! Scarey! Anyhow, it...
