Hi Carrie, Although I am not from Seattle, nor have I lived there, it seems like any info on the NW in general might help you ... I grew up in Portland, OR and have spent some time in Seattle within the last year, so I'll tell you what I can. Seattle is a very cosmopolitan city with some...

Congratulations Marie :) That's great - and you did the right thing. And after 2 or 3 cats, more is not all that big of a deal (at least that's what I keep telling myself - I have 11 who came to my doorstep as stray cats/kittens). Your SO will get over it - especially since this is a...

I just wanted to wish you luck with your kitty. I have 11 cats and manage a feral cat colony in my neighborhood - so I have some experience with many types of feline temperaments - but haven't had any attack cats (yet!). The best advice I could give you would be to NOT PUNISH your cat. Ever...

Well, people who can afford 5 bathrooms also can afford to have somebody else clean them :) DH and I have 3 bathrooms for just the 2 of us and he wanted to have somebody come and clean them once a week - I told him I thought we could handle it on our own ... now if we had 12 kids or something...

Hi Sandra, I've found that I really like the Nike mid cut studio shoes - I think the most recent ones are the air agora mid cuts. They are really great for the high impact workouts. I also like the Nike shox Rhythmic for everything, too - especially step. The real difference between the 2...

Sherry - I forgot to mention that my kids were also on prednisolone for a few weeks, too - this anti-inflammatory worked wonders for them when it was given in conjunction w/clavamox. If your girl is still not better after 1 week of clavamox, I'd add this to the mix and give her fluids...

I have 11 cats (yes, I am crazy - but they were all homeless ferals who came to me), and 3 of them have bladder issues. All 3 are girls between ages 9 and 11. For them, the change in diet helped some, along with Clavamox drops (antibiotic that also is a mild anti-inflammatory). They needed to...

RE: Why can't I meet people like all of you in my daily... I used to think the same thing about cashiers :) But then I noticed that it is usually store policy for them to do this. Often times the manager bags your groceries/whatever and if your cashier doesn't live up to their friendliness...

Yep - that's pretty much it :) I live in NC, but am not a Southerner by birth or by training - I think sweet tea is disgusting ... But then again, I'm not a fan of soda/pop either. The most aminstream comparison I can think of is the iced tea you can buy where you find soda - I think it's...

Amy and JillyBean - Whew! I thought I would be the only Miss Piggy for a second :) DH who does all of the cooking will get a kick out of this! arancini

I joined dh's gym so I could occasionally use the pool - and got a free intro training session. The trainer I met with was super nice, but when he asked me what I've been doing he told me that videos weren't strength training but were really cardio. I didn't get a chance to say they were Cathe...

I use my laptop for my workouts - and cathe plays just fine in it. I put it on the edge of the mantle. The fireplace faces the tv room, but the laptop is on one end facing into the dining room (it's an open floor plan). So, I have the entire dining room/entryway for space. I use the "hall"...

Hi Bam, I know exactly what you mean :) I grew up on the west coast and then came east for college ... and have been out east ever since. I thought that NY and Boston were not that friendly, too - at first. It just took a lot of time to meet the right people. Then, of course, I moved - I...

In pilates there's a windshield wipers move. It's hard to describe without listing out directions, so here goes: 1. lie on your back - pull knees into chest w/head lifted and arms extended 2. stretch one leg up toward the ceiling and grab your ankle with both hands while your other leg is...

Sparrow, I've been doing this for about 2 years and am not sure how much it has helped. However, this year I started taking calcium, magnesium, a b complex, and e - and have had ZERO allergies. I was/am taking these for pms bloating, etc., but the lack of allergies is really amazing. It...

Me too ... and one of my best friends used to be a pro ballet dancer - we used to call this the snake syndrome b/c we always looked like we'd swallowed our meals whole :) arancini

Yep, I completely agree - I would buy the dvd just for KPC if I had to. Although I really like KM, I think KPC does a better job of keeping your heart rate up consistently, rather than mostly at the end with all of the KM blasts. The premixes provide great variety, too! And if you like...

Kathryn - does this mean all I have to do now is put my shoes on? :7 arancini

Suz - I know what you mean, I would think this would make me super skinny, too - but, c'est la vie (although I am not big, I have discovered I bulk easily w/cathe ... and now I snack even MORE). I forgot to mention that when I used to swim religiously, there was a 90 year old woman who was a...

I've definitely found this to be true - I leave puddles everywhere now, and start sweating really early on - before I'd make it halfway through a workout before drops starting flying. I've done some reading about exercise during pregnancy (still ttc) and concerns about heart rate & thermal...
