    Going to do my first 5K at the end of June!

    Awesome, Jerry! I did my first one of the season on Monday for Memorial Day and I have another one tomorrow morning to benefit the local county library. (I'm not great at running, but, hey, attempting a 5k race slowly beats sitting on the couch with a pint of ice cream!) Good luck!!! :)...

    Just to stir up a hornet's nest, what does everyone think about this?

    I am 1,000% for this law. I think it's ridiculous that it's taken this long. I watched my mother-in-law, who battled ovarian cancer, waste away and die in horrible pain that mega-doses of morphine couldn't touch. Her last 3 weeks of life, she couldn't swallow, she couldn't talk (all she could...

    Are you expecting?

    Yeah, I've been asked this a number of times, and it SUCKS. (Note: I've NEVER been pregnant!) The last time I was asked, I had just lost 30lbs. I had just come out of a WW meeting and I was feeling pretty darned happy with myself for hitting the 30lb-loss mark. I walked into the dry cleaners...

    Rev Abs Promo!

    Hm. I'll be waiting to see other Catheites' reactions before I dive in (I trust you guys implicitly!) This appears maybe a bit too unfocused for me... why is the instructor doing flips and cartwheels randomly across the set? MC

    I'm not entirely sure you can post these on here... but I did email you! :) MC

    My dog is in jail

    Awww, I'm so sorry your doggie is in pup prison. :( I'm sure she'll be so excited to see you tomorrow, though, and at least you know she's alright and you'll get her back soon!! MC

    Rant!! (Fair warning!)

    Oy, does this subject have to be raised again? I go to work sick. I have to because I don't get sick leave. I'm not heroic, I don't think I'm indispensable or anything like that. If you want me (and others like me) to stay home, write your representatives and tell them that you want some...

    One of my beloved Kitchen Cats...

    Stacey, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your furbaby. He was a lucky little man to have someone who loved him so much while he was here on earth. He obviously loved you back for being the reason that he was not out in the cold, and for giving him companionship and adoration. ((hugs)) MC

    Fitnessfreak, if you have time, a rotation question with running?

    Fitnessfreak, if you have time, a rotation question with running?

    Debbie, I know you are insanely busy tending to so many other peoples' needs, so if you cannot answer this request, I completely understand. I was looking through your rotation post (which is sooo wonderful! Thank you for compiling that!), and I didn't see any that really incorporated...

    The Fitnessfreak appreciation thread

    Yes, Debbie, you are awesome! :) You are one of the key people on this forum, and I hope you know how many people appreciate that you give so much of your own personal time to help others-- even if we don't tell you all the time! (Which we should.) Thank you for being so wonderful, selfless...

    another question for runners

    Hey, Susan, I'm doing this program, too! (Not to hijack your thread...) I just finished week 2, and so far I've dropped a *little* weight... running can always make me lose weight, though. Good luck! MC

    Odd question for y'all

    Christine, I'm sorry you're going through this... it sounds like you're having a very tough time right now, and I'm sending you tons of hugs and positive chi. DH and I are going through counseling, too (since October), so I'm very much in your same boat. My best piece of advice would simply...

    Birth Control 4 18 year old HELP

    I think she's being smart. I think it's your job as a parent to try to be objective and support her in this decision. Truthfully, there's nothing you can do to stop her since she's 18, anyway. If you make this a point of contention, you will just alienate her. She's an adult, and...

    Tax question - help!

    All, Thanks for the information... I do keep track of the information listed with the exception of the "depreciation" of the house. How could I determine that? Is there a formula or something? Do you just take a stab in the dark? MC

    Tax question - help!

    A little background: my DH and I had bought a house in 2005 that was 70 miles from where we work because real estate prices in Maryland were absolutely insane. Fast forward to 2008-- DH has a chronic neck pain problem and the daily 140-mile round-trip commute was killing him. We tried to...
