    Protocol Question ~ Tipping?

    I only tipped the bus driver one time -- that was the first year I went (2007). It was when we were nearby eating dinner on Saturday night and I was ready to go home (or back to the hotel!) so the bus driver took a bunch of us (not a scheduled run - an earlier one!) back to the hotel (I was...

    Is there anyone who works out at home

    I work out at home 100% of the time, but I HAVE to have a DVD player to play my workouts. For some reason, I cannot do an effective workout on my own without having someone there to guide me (Cathe of course!). I have tried doing it on my own, but I find myself rushing through the routine and...

    McDonalds is evil.....

    Hey it's okay to have a cheat meal now and then (I would go crazy if I didn't!). Mine's with Mexican Food and it's not good -- probably eat way more calories/fat than my entire intake on a typical day! You have to splurge and have fun every once in a while -- you don't gain fat overnight...

    Work from Home Career

    I've been working from home as a contract paralegal for the last 12 years (I've been in the legal profession for the last 25 years). When my youngest daughter was 3 I decided to quit my full time job as a trial paralegal and wanted to try and do something from my home as an independent. I said...

    Improving Flexibility

    Just wanted to add to Cathe's post about Total Body Stretching and Stretch Max. I've had these DVDs for a long time, but never tried them (they came with a set). My mom was experiencing some back pain and went to a chiropractor who prescribed some home exercises/stretches to do. I'm 44 years...

    RT 2009 Who's Who Book?

    I'm not sure -- I haven't received an e-mail requesting my information. Last year it seems like they requested the information from us much sooner (but I might be wrong). Hopefully I didn't miss anything, either, and not be included. We'll see! I hope they do one -- I really enjoyed the one...

    RT Workouts

    Don't worry -- Cathe gives a lot of breaks during her workouts and there is bottled water that the gym provides. I'm not sure on towels (I've always brought my own!). I can't remember if they charged for towels or not (I think they might -- but I'm sure one of the RT coordinators will let you...

    MS Word question

    Thanks for posting this Gayle and thank you for answering Kathryn! For the last 20 plus years I've used WordPerfect and recently switched over to Word (only because I had a specific program I began using for work which wouldn't run on WP, plus I needed to change because everyone else used Word...

    After several weeks, Insomnia hit me!!!!!

    Hi Gayle -- I have trouble sleeping all the time myself. My OB/GYN (who I've been going to for almost 25 years!) says that the older you get, the more problems you will have sleeping (just what we need, huh, one more problem with getting older!). This past year I've really had problems (I'm 44...

    What will you do with your old tube TV?

    If your dad gave it to you when you were that young, how can you part with it? I have so much stuff in my house that my mom and dad gave me when I was a little girl, also stuff from my grandparents (I keep everything!). Most of it is boxed up, but I can't part with anything (even if I'll never...

    Wow, I just had the most unpleasant conversation

    How bizarre -- I like how you corrected him on his certification (NSAM/NASM!). If you can't get that right, hmmm . . . But, the thing that would have bothered me the most is that he is not open to learning more. Apparently he thinks that what he has learned over the last 20 years is all he...

    Cathe's X-Vest at Walmart.com!!!???

    I bought mine at Walmart back when it first came out. I always like to order through Cathe's website instead of going somewhere else, but I couldn't pass this up. It was $10.00 cheaper, plus they shipped it to my local Walmart store and I picked it up, so there was no shipping charge!

    What do you think about Energy Drink FRS?

    I've taken both the liquid and chews and really liked them, but I WOULD NOT give them to an 11 year old. He should not have done that -- she's way too young!

    Once again, stuck in the minority on the Cathe forums

    I didn't have a poster on my wall, but can remember having all kinds of other stuff with her and Charlie's Angels on them! I loved that show back then!!

    What to do with kohlrabi???

    Gayle, I've never tried them, but it looks like they are from the cabbage/turnip family (I think)? I googled it and they look like little brussel sprouts. I'm sure you can use them in a soup -- give it a try and let us all know! My mom has a wonderful garden and is always planting stuff that...

    Pre-Workout Meal aside from protein shake

    I am working on taking my certiifed personal trainer exam and one of the essay questions was about this. Here is what I answered (I used this solely from my curriculum during the course!) "Pre-exercise nutrition can help the client maintain even levels of blood sugar and prevent early...

    This is my BIGGEST PET PEEVE!!! UGH!

    I hear ya -- I'm really busy as well, but I'm one of these people who like some response (whether work-related or business!). For them not to respond at all, I get really irritated. Sometimes if it's someone who usually responds quickly, I resend the e-mail (especially my work-related ones)...
