No, I would not have wanted $1 in change. I really don't find that scenario to be analogous, or even a fair comparison. I think there is a difference between keeping $10, which is half of the money I gave, and keeping $1 out of $10, which is not even close to half. I know I would feel very...

I loved Michelle Obama's fit arms, but I really didn't dig the ball gown. I don't think I would have liked in much on anyone (just not my taste), and it somehow didn't seem to suit her. Maybe it's because it looked like she was slightly annoyed by having to drag the train part of it around...

I need your opinions, if you have a minute. So my 6-year-old daughter was invited to a neighbor's house on Monday afternoon to play with her friend from school. Just before she left to go over, the mom called and said she decided to take the girls to a movie instead, if that was OK with me...

I went to a "skin care specialist" at a nearby skin care center, but you can also look for a dermatologist in your area who uses the system. As far as I know, the Nu-derm line is the most aggressive. That is the line of products I have been using, and I am very happy with the results. Obagi...

Hello again. I am pleased with the results overall. (I have been using the system for approx. 18 weeks.) I had some area of hyperpigmentation (sun spots, age spots, or whatever it was) and I now have a much more even skin tone. But, like you, I didn't have as dramatic results around my eyes...

Thanks for your input, Chrissy. I think I will go ahead an use a light moisturizer along with the system when I need it. My skin seems pretty dry in the winter, and it is not an attractive look! I was surprised how difficult it was to find some information on-line re. whether using a...

If so, I have a quick question. I am going to cut down on using the system to 3 days/week, but I'm wondering whether to use a moisturizer on the off days. Do you use one on the off days in the maintenance phase? If so, what type do you use? Thanks for any input, and have a great night...

I don't have an answer, either, but I just wanted to let you know that I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! I'm 40, and I'm already getting the droops. I fear that it's genetic and I'm just stuck with it, but I'm still hoping somebody can chime in with some suggestions. Have a great night! Deborah

And Magic Erasers can get permanent marker/Sharpee off of wood furniture. It may dull the finish a bit, but it my case, it was the only thing that worked to get an 8-inch-tall drawing of a little girl (courtesy of one of my little girls) off of my kitchen pedestal table.

For those of you who have the P Pullup -- once it is installed in the doorway, can you still close the door? One more question -- how many holes did you have to drill into the frame to install? I was thinking of getting one, but the holes in the door frame will definitely bum my DH out, even...

Hello, kettlebellers. Do you go as deep into squats as Anthony does? Does anyone know what the purpose/advantage is to going that deep rather than to, say, parallel? I sometimes worry about my knees with this move. Should I worry, or just go for it? (My knees are 40 years old, BTW. So...

I can't believe it! I ordered a set of 3 Ader kettlebells for x-mas, and one of them (the 25-pounder) has a large chip in the finish. To make matters worse, the chip is on the part of the handle used to grip the kettlebell! Talk about bad placement. Anyway, I've been e-mailing the vendor...

I just wanted to thank you, Lainie, and let you know how much I appreciate you sharing all of your wonderful materials with us. I know if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have any of this stuff organized. Have a great night! Deborah

Hello everyone. My husband and I have been thinking of getting a powerful blender, and I wondered if anyone has one and what you think of it. They're quite expensive, so I want to ask around before spending so much $$. If you have one, has it been worth it for you, and what do you use it...

My husband and I bought each other a set of Ader kettlebells (15, 25, and 35 lbs.) and AOS Providence and Newport. Neither of us has tried kettlebells yet, but it seems like something we can get into together. Happy holidays to all! Deborah

I've ordered a few bathing suits from VS. I've found the sizing pretty true to size. As far as bathing suit tops, I am quite small-chested, but am 34" around, so I order a S. (I think the XS is for women who are 32-33" around, which would be too small for me, despite my lack of boobage.)...

My husband and I both get up at 4:00 a.m. He goes to the gym, and I go upstairs to work out. Neither of us eat anything before either cardio or weights, although occasionally my husband will buy a Muscle Milk at the gym, which I think he drinks before or during weight training. We do...

I just wanted to thank all of you for your understanding and suggestions. I will be trying all of them, you can be sure. I am also going to look into a more sturdy running shoe. I just bought a pair of Asics Gel-Kayano (which I've always worn), but I don't think they offer enough motion...

Hello runners and everyone else. I couldn't be more discouraged! I used to run regularly (6 days/week) in my "younger" years. I started getting back into it more regularly several months ago with much enjoyment and no problems. Well, now I have what I believe to be iliotibial band syndrome...

I always run in running skirts in mild weather. I find them to be very, very comfortable. Some are made with shorts underneath, or you can find others that have "spankies" underneath. I have the shorts kind, but perhaps the spankies kind wouldn't ride as much. Running skirts also seem to be...
