Another vote for Aquaphor. It rocks! Burt's Bees Wax balms often contain peppermint oil which I found really irritating to chapped lips. Chapstick is completely useless in my experience. Here's a link that discusses what to AVOID in lip treatments. It's from Paula's Choice: HTH...

What a LOVELY idea!! How can we contribute to this?

I'm confused. Is your step sliding on the floor (i.e. stepping on a moving target?) or is your foot sliding uncontrollably on the top of the step? (i.e. your foot is sliding on ice?) From your post, I thought it was the latter, but the suggestions made address the former.

If you have fibroids, changing your birth control won't help. You'll need surgical intervention. If it's due to hormones, it might. Maybe check w/ your doctor to see what the root cause is??

In addition to Cathe's floorwork, Tracy Effingers Lower Body Challenge has a great 15 section called Around the World where you work your legs standing and it's very effective for quads, hamstrings,abductors and glutes. Her floorwork in Squeeze and Squeeze Stronger is good too. Love her pelvic...

I'll be the lone dissenter. No, you don't need LBB if you have all the others.

Hi Pam (and Randy!) Great job on the room--it looks fantastic!! I'm so glad the various tips were helpful to both of you. Who needs more stress?? :D Isn't it wonderful when kids realize they CAN do something they thought was impossible? They just have to find out what approach works...

NY Times article about why full size gyms are losing favor.... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/27/fashion/27SKIN.html

Hi Mel, I haven't had hip bursitis but I have osteo-arthritis in my hip and have had shoulder bursitis in the past. Without knowing what you've been doing (that might have contributed to your condition), it's hard to make a recommendation. Can you post what you were doing previously...

I think this is part of it. I also think more people are looking for less expensive gym options (i.e. ones w/o classes)--ones that just offer cardio machines & weights. Alternatively, I see many more people opting for classes at smaller 'studio' type places. Independent yoga, barre studios...

Jack LaLanne's enthusiasm for exercise was contagious--that's what made his TV show so successful for decades. His message of how much better you feel when you take care of yourself thru better food & regular fitness helped millions of ordinary people. He was ahead of his time and a true...

Hi again Pam, Please know that I wasn't criticizing what you did and I think Cindy's comment above has a LOT of truth in it. Every kid is different, every case of ADHD is different & every situation is different. You truly know your son best! I've learned so much the many wise people who...

Is this the son that has ADHD? If not, ignore everything below! If so, consider the following... Often kids w/ learning difficulties don't literally know what to do when you say, "Clean your room." You have to list out specific tasks. (Put all dirty clothes in the laundry hamper. Put all...

Some words just turn my stomach & that's one of them. I actually am okay w/ the idea of "sanitizing" it so teachers WILL use it to teach the lessons it brings. Those of you who think that kids can be taught to understand the context of this kind of language perhaps haven't been around a...

Laura, I'm so very sorry for your loss. I remember Chris from the '09 RT. He was such a sweetie and had a wonderful sense of humor. Sending lots of (((((((((hugs)))))))) for you, Chris' SO and his other family members. I hope memories bring you some comfort with time but it's never easy...

Adding more birthday wishes for you, Morningstar! Hope your day is wonderful and that the coming year is full of happiness!

Leaner Legs has a cardio aspect to it anyway. I love this workout--no downtime!! Do LL, then see if you feel like doing LIC. If not, maybe take a walk instead.

My DH and I didn't agree politically at all when we first met & got married, but over time his views (and his family's!) have all morphed into agreement w/ mine. :) People can change. So, it's not necessarily true that you have to agree w/ someone's political (or religious) views to have a...

Two thoughts popped into my head: 1) Why didn't your boyfriend correct his brother re: your name, after it became very clear that it was open hostility? Did you mention it to your BF either during the party or later? If so, what was his reaction? 2) Did your BF's brother just break up w/...

Been there. Dealt w/ that. :confused: First, do not let a 10 year child use a $2000 computer. Period. ESPECIALLY, if they've abused it even once. NEVER, EVER! The cost of any repair on a computer is more than the cost of cheap desktop or netbook so you don't save any $$ by letting her use...
