    Any Homeschoolers out there?

    RE: The homeschool decision I'm glad you highlighted the ever so controversial "socialization" issue that people worry about with homeschooled kids. It makes me laugh and sometimes irritated to think that people believe because we homeschool, they won't have social skills!!!! And it seems to...

    Any Homeschoolers out there?

    FYI... I've homeschooled for 6 years now and if you consider homeschooling with a "classical" educational based curriculum, I suggest a site called www.welltrainedmind.com. It has a well run forum for parents with homeschooling questions. Also, Yahoo has something called "Yahoo Groups" where...

    SAHMs, I need some advice!

    Having lived in both worlds, career for 11 with 2 children and SAHM, (as well as homeschool teacher) with 5 kids for 12, the best advice I can give you would be "Go with the Flow!" When you have a career, things are more scheduled, work has definite expectations and defined goals, but when...

    perimenopause

    RE: perimenopause (long..) I just want to mention that the tests my doctor ran on me were a uterine tissue biopsy and blood work. Both came back fine, however, he started me on progestin anyway. The more you learn about how crazy our hormones start to be in perimenopause, I think it becomes...

    perimenopause

    RE: perimenopause (long..) No, you're not too young. When I was 39, I was experiencing memory loss, horrible mood swings, acne, insomnia, and I just chocked it up to having 4 kids and homeschooling. Then a year later my periods started acting up, as in flooding, starting mid-cycle, extreme...

    Cathe - OT about the "Grand Tetons"....

    I hope it's okay to ask you about this, even though it's not REALLY fitness related. (Well, traveling with 4 kids across the US will require ALOT OF STAMINA!!:-tired) I remember several years ago you made a trip to the Grand Tetons and we're considering this to be one of our stops on the way...

    Please help me - this is very long

    I think many of us that are married, or are in a serious relationship have felt "similar" to the way you're feeling, just with a different issue. As far as ending your marriage over it, I think you need some time to think about this in a less emotional state. I know you're in a tremondous...

    What's YOUR "Day Job"?

    Great thread!! I retired from Verizon (formerly known as Bell Atlantic) after 11 years in 1988. (I do get a pension!) When I worked there, I was an installer and cable splicer in the affluent areas of Washington DC metro area. What an experience! It was a great job because the pay was...

    Cardio tapes question...

    RE: Cardio tapes question...plus one more I really appreciate you responding, as busy as I'm sure you are. I have had a tendency to stick with a specific routine, believing the harder I eventually am able to work out, the better the results. Since doing your CTX series, and seeing results...

    nursing problems

    I know how frustrated you must be! Colic is only supposed to happen with first babies, right? WRONG! My third child was very colicky and it wasn't just at night. All day, every day for 9 mons. I worked out and was nursing and it didn't matter when I timed the two events. It didn't change...

    Cardio tapes question...

    RE: Cardio tapes question...plus one more Thanks so much for the response!!! The way workouts affect our bodies are very much alike. I wasn't sure if I was going to have to work out LONGER with the aerobics tapes. So glad to read your suggestion include tapes that not only I enjoy, (well...

    Cardio tapes question...

    I usually work out with your tapes 4 to 5 days a week, most recently with the ctx series. I am a clean eater, more or less. I have found, though, I can not get the same cut, lean look with cardio tapes, as I can with running and working out with weights. My question is, I know you have...

    Hey jackier!

    Wow! I know exactly where you live. I live off of Elmer Derr Rd., which is about 2 or 3 miles from where you live. What a small world! My son used to work at the Giant there and my husband and I play tennis during the summer at the courts at Ballenger Creek middle school. Have you always...
