    Jump in number of people on the forums?

    When you log on or click on the forum page, it tells you how many people are viewing the different sections of the forum area. I've been used to seeing something like "24 people viewing" next to STS or ASK Cathe, and maybe 150-250 viewing Open Discussion during a weekday. But, has anyone else...

    New HBO Series: True Blood

    Kims- The Southern Vampire Series (on which True Blood is based) is more graphic than Twilight, but it's not even close to the graphicness (is that a word?) of the TV show. People occasionally cuss and sex scenes that involve Sookie are described from her point of view, but it's no different...

    New HBO Series: True Blood

    I can't help but throw this out there for those loving the show and wanting to read the books: The two main differences between the books and the show is the character of Tara (she's not nearly as prominant in the books ) and the scenes with Jason Stackhouse--the books are all from Sookie's...

    Today I choose to be dirty!

    There. I've said it. And I'm not ashamed! :p The past few days have been crazy with an emergency trip the the hospital for DH, and my daugher (who's 6 today) getting me up at all hours last night to tell me the rain was too loud for her to sleep. So, I'm not cleaning my house today like I...

    Check your phone bills

    This just happened to me! Last month there was a $20 charge for a company called Info Dial USA LLC, billed on behalf of ILD Teleservices, Inc. We called the company and they issued a credit to Verizon and gave us the name and birth date of some man who had added this to our bill, with our...

    True Blood--anyone watching?

    Oh, I've read all of Laurell K. Hamilton's, too. And I whole-heartedly agree with your thoughts. It's devolved into almost pure porn. Obviously there's a market for that, but it's not what she started out with! The Buffy comic is AWESOME. It's basically a continuation of the series, with...

    True Blood--anyone watching?

    Thanks, Laura! I love finding new a series and author to try out. Jacque1038--Urban Fantasy is a favorite of mine, too. Check out Kim Harrison's series if you get a chance--awesome butt-kicking heroine, Rachel Morgan. The series this show is based on is excellent as well--very smart and...

    True Blood--anyone watching?

    I've read all the books the show is based on, and Sookie has always worked in a bar....so it must have been a different book you read! If you think of it, post it, cause I love me a good vampire story :) These are written by Charlaine Harris. I am excited about this show, too, although the...

    NARUTO--Japanese Anime: okay for kids?

    My 9 yr old son is going to sleepover at a friend's house tonight and he's asking about watching Naruto movies. They are unrated and I'm hoping a few on the forum will be familiar with them. Our policy is no pg-13 movies unless my husband or I have seen them and said okay, if that helps to...

    The Olympics are killing my workouts!

    I am so tired! Last night I finally had to admit I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and turned off the TV during all of the gymnastics hoopla. I've been totally sucked in to watching every night and am not getting enough sleep! Now, instead of being up for my HIIT on the treadmill this...

    Bench Press 1RM--burning Q

    I've been recording many of my 1RM's lately and stumped myself with this one--how did you do your bench press: barbell or dumbbell? I did barbell, but when I look at my 1RM compared to the Cathe Nation's 1RM, it's waaaayyy off. How can we tell which is the way it's intended to be calculated...

    Shy Wolf! Breaking Dawn......

    I never had to experience waiting for the next book in the series until waiting for Breaking Dawn because I only started reading them last fall--so I think that made the experience of reading this one different. I loved the other three--never had any of the problems with the plot that other...

    Disappearing Threads??

    Yep, I'm logged in when the problem happens. It's the weirdest thing--I'll get on the forums and log in and everything is normal--and then at some point during switching between forums things will disappear and the only way to get it back is to post (that I've been able to figure out!) I...

    Disappearing Threads??

    It's happening to me again today....right now this forum says "showing 1-5 of 5 threads". I'm posting to see if I can get it to straighten out. Kelly ETA: Yep, posting a message worked, it now says "showing 1-20 of 66 threads"

    How is everyone doing calculating 1RM???

    Check out this post from christosz in the STS forum--it's a life saver! You can print out the list and use it to work from. Christosz has also majorly helped me out by commenting in another thread somewhere about doing maybe 5 tests at once with 3-5 minute rests in between--like chest, back...

    Disappearing Threads??

    I swear that's not what's happening. I'll be browsing the different forums, and then suddenly I'll realize I'm missing most of the threads. The bottom (like you're showing in the above post) will say "Showing threads 1-3 of 3 threads" when I know there are dozens, or even hundreds. Then...

    It just happened again for no apparent reason....I'm posting again so all the threads show back up.

    Shy Wolf! Breaking Dawn......

    I do not want to spoil anyone by getting too specific, but I'm dying to talk to someone about this book and most of the fansite forums are still closed.... I love this series. Nothing can change that. But, did you end up with the feeling that you wished it had been two separate books so...

    Disappearing Threads??

    It's not like that at all--it's like 95% of all the threads on the site disappear. When I came to the support forum to post my questions it showed that this whole forum had a total of 2 threads. After I posted my question, 5 pages of threads showed up.....
