    Exotic Pets

    Before I had kids, we had: 1 corn snake named Lecter (it was when Silence of the Lambs just came out), 1 California King snake named Ripley (from Aliens), she hated my husband. Every time he went by her cage she would strike, she only did it to him. We also had 2 aberrant king snakes (they had...

    What is up with watermelon and strawberries?

    Just west of Greenfield on Maine there is a produce market. They have the fruit and it looks very good and it is cheap. The same people also own the produce market just west of Meridian on Maine also. HTH

    cardio.......how much is too much?

    Maybe I just worded my post wrong. I like getting on the treadmill for 45 min. Sometimes I feel like getting on again at night. Maybe instead of getting on it again, I could do some other form of cardio. My goal is to look lean and tone. I know that clean eating is a major part of it, and I have...

    cardio.......how much is too much?

    At 10 a.m. I did the treadmill for 40 minutes and then the last 1/2 of Firm 1 (pushups,table work,pecs/bridge,outer/inner thigh and stomach). Well later on tonight I felt like getting on the treadmill again so I got on at 5:30 for 45 minutes. Is that too much cardio in one day? I know that the...

    dpiglet............Oh Donna!

    I will check out the other hikes you mentioned. I stuck w/ Massacre Grounds b/c we don't have a whole lot of time and we can only go so fast w/ my sil. Siphon Draw sounds and looks really good on the internet, but they consider it "very difficult" on that last stretch up to Flatiron. I would...

    dpiglet............Oh Donna!

    You mentioned in my "so embarassing" thread that your dh hikes the Superstitions all the time. Which trails does he go on, what level of difficulty would he consider them? I researched the area and found 2 I want to go on. They are relatively short (3 miles) but sound really fun. Massacre...

    my first hike

    JUst wanted to add that is it now the day after the hike and this is what I felt: the bottom of my heels were tender for about the first 2 minutes of walking on them. My calves feel like they have been through a really good stretch. I thought I was going to wake up all sore, but I'm glad I didn't.:D

    my first hike

    My SIL is very motivating. She is always all or nothing in any situation. I didn't realize how close I was to trails. They are a lot of fun. My other SIL (her younger sister) does back pack camping. I guess that is where EVERYTHING you are going to use while camping has to fit into a back pack...

    my first hike

    My SIL invited me to go hiking. She wouldn't tell me where we were going. Well we went to Usery Park and hiked a trail called Wind Cave which is 1.6 miles. The park was only 10-12 miles down the road from where I live. As we are hiking up she points out lots of different things, looks at every...

    how embarassing...........

    She won't tell me where we are going. She knew how excited I would be. I live at Signal Butte and Broadway. Have you guys done south mountain? We used to drive up there all the time when we were younger to do teenage things.;-) There were people actually running up it.:o

    how embarassing...........

    So my SIL is taking me hiking tomorrow. I haven't done that since I was a teen at camp. She lists the things I have to bring and do to prepare. One of them is find a fanny pack type purse. I have a purse that I had gotten from Popular for Christmas that does strap on like a fanny pack or you use...

    Dips.....

    I am definitely going to be printing up this thread so that in the future as I progress in this area, I can apply them. I am having such a good day. I cleaned out my file cabinet, my office desk and did 3 loads of laundry already and it's only 9:50. I am only going to do the treadmill today. My...

    Reebok or Original Club Step?

    I have had the original club step for 13 years now. I have never had a problem w/ it. The grip on the top is still in perfect condition. In fact, I was just getting ready to buy more risers.:D
