    The best darned....? anywhere!

    Mexico City We had In-N-Out Burger in AZ, and Whataburger as well. Both have strange fan followings, for fast food chains. MEXICO CITY 1. There's no war here, I swear. We're the most populated city in the world, but our murder rate is 1/3 of Chicago's. As in any big city, take care not to...

    Vote for my design (please)

    Really cute! I voted too. I would carry that around. I don't understand the one that is winning. I mean everyone likes a smiley face, but for the win? Paul D. in Georgia must have an awful lot of friends.

    Cathe's Killer step class!!!

    I've been doing Cathe videos for about 6 years - living in DC, in Spain, in Arizona - then in New Jersey. At the end of the 6 months I lived in NJ, I finally clicked on the link about her gym and almost lost my mind. I will never get over having unknowingly lived within driving distance...

    Can someone explain twitter to me?

    There are a lot of tedious posts to Twitter, but you don't have to "follow" those people (subscribe to their feeds). The beauty of twitter is you can follow only the people that you find interesting. I use it primarily for work (http://twitter.com/hcdelp) so you can see that I post...

    What Cathe move can you just NOT do - or know you look hilarious while you try?

    LMAO at "drunkard on a rope bridge"! I once fell backwards on my butt doing straddle taps...while DH happened to be watching. Total wipe out, managed to hit the step on the way down. Are levitation holds where you put your hands under your hips and lift your legs up, like in yoga? I JUST...

    What's your favorite workout song?

    I listen to Christina Aguilera, Shakira, Beyonce and Britney Spears when I work out - music I never listen to for pleasure, but somehow the chick pop works for me. "Happy Together" by the Turtles is my and my little sister's song (weird, right?), but that one always gets my energy up too...

    Bought a new car...what did I do?

    How about a girl's name for your cutie Rav? Fiona? Shannon? Sinead? We used to have a Rav4 and LOVED it. So comfortable, easy to take care of. My cousin has one now and equally adores it. Big purchases are stressful, but at least you picked a great car!

    Anyone grow their own fruits and berries?

    Do you know what type of grapes you are growing? If you know and are sure that they are appropriate for your area (and that they have proper sun), I would start with a soil test and see if you can figure out what is making them unhappy. Grapes are tough but there is probably something...

    OTC teeth whiteners

    I've used the CVS brand ones and they worked amazingly well. My teeth are still whiter more than a year later. I also had some tooth sensitivity so I used them every other day, which obviously takes longer but you get the same effect eventually. I also started using Sensodyne toothpaste which...

    Kettlebell question

    Oh, trust me, it's not easy. I would def have picked something lighter to do get-ups. I do think it is good for cleans, presses, snatches, etc and prob better than if I had picked the 15. I also think the heavier weight helped me focus on form and respect the bell. I learned really fast not...

    Kettlebell question

    I just started with kbs a couple of weeks ago. I have the AOS dvds but have been using the Iron Core dvds to work up to AOS. I also had a limited selection of kbs because I live outside the US - could only find 15 and 25lbs. I kept reading that you move up in weight quickly, so I got the 25lb...

    So?? Anyone have the Kindle?

    I don't know about the Kindle, but MIL got DD an Astek EZ Reader (Hanlin V3). I would have told her to get the Kindle, but she read online how much easier the Astek is on your eyes and the buttons are less annoying. One of the major complaints with Kindle is accidentally flipping pages due to...

    GWTW--are we all set?

    I just saw GWTW for the first time 2 days ago and would also love to read the book with you gals. I'm trying to finish another book right now, but I'll hurry and try to catch up with you. When is the "official start"? This is good timing for me, I'll be in the states next week and can get an...

    a few questions

    I also read that adding lemon to green tea exponentially increases your body's ability to use the antioxidants in the tea.

    In Only 100 years

    That's amazing! More than the physical changes in the world, I always wonder what things I strongly believe in will be considered old-fashioned or even closed-minded by future generations. "omg, great-grandma believed in capitalism? That is soooo last century!"

    Need Ideas for PT Client Gifts

    Water bottles with logo? The ornament idea is cute, but maybe better to have something that's useful all year. How much are you thinking to spend total? I made an office joke into a t-shirt for around $17 on cafepress. And pretty big magnets for just a couple dollars each. Photo sites...
