Yes, please trust your gut here. Don't see him again, and you might want to send a reminder to him or the office staff that any patient (male or female) would feel more comfortable with a proper cover and nurse in the room. Granted, it's healthcare, but it's also business. Might scare the...

Well, hello, even though I'm not a true insomniac! I work crappy overnights, and it's verrrry slow right now. I'd like to be more productive (creatively on my own projects), but my mind turns to mush with each passing minute! Be thankful you can at least be in your comfy surroundings...

Thanks so much, everyone! Nancy324, I always welcome real stories and advice! A friend of mine uses jdate here and there...nothing serious yet, but she's also taking it lightly, more focused on career right now. Congrats to your stepson. And, you're right, I would love to date a man who...

Hi, smart women! I thought I'd come here for some solid advice. I'm single in the city and am looking to date. It's been a long time, and I am willing to open myself up to trusting again, to putting myself out there. I use the analogy: "it's like exercise, some people hate it, but they...

The Language of Letting Go Hi. Yes, I know about worry. I think it's a distraction from living fully, from living peacefully. Think about changing the things you can (or taking action), and making peace with those you cannot. Pray for the wisdom to distinguish between the two. Also...

RE: Speaking of Yes, I've read Intuitive Eating. I think some main ideas: *It's a process, be gentle with yourself, don't beat yourself up. *Listen to your body = trust. One of the hardest lessons to learn. *Learn to live in the gray area in lieu of black/white thinking. Not just...

I love Clare's points... One add: Always listen to your body for exhaustion, etc., but try the 10-minute rule. Once you get going, it'll probably feel so exhilarating, you won't want to stop! Also, always do what you enjoy...use exercise for wellness not self-punishment. Best, Caroline

Yeah, definitely the back of arms is probably KP. I see my derm on a regular basis, and she says it's common (and all my friends have it). She prescribed some lotion for me, but I think the idea is to keep it clean and moisturized. Use a neutral soap that doesn't strip your natural oils too...

Hi - Did I read correctly you are exercising 3+ hours? Even if that's only 2 days a week, that's too much for your body, your health. Be gentle with yourself, please. Spread out your workouts -- recovery, rest, social activities, and proper nutrition are also key players in your...

Aquajock, What an inspiration! I bet just posting that helped many, many people have hope for their own futures for whatever they're battling. Thank you for the positive energy. : ) Best, Caroline

Thank you all so much -- Kathy S., I'll definitely plug my doc into my joint issues. I think the lesson of my life is to listen to my body and act accordingly! Take care!

Try the Smart Balance brand natural PB. Needs no refrigeration, easy to spread. Good. :)

Hi - I've been on accutane for about two weeks and my lips are so chapped they're almost blistered looking! I'm moisturizing, and I expected this, but I also know that your joints tend to be more tender, especially after exercise. Anyone else experience side effects? I'm an avid stepper...

Anyone here regularly buy $45 Nike tops? (j/k) Seriously though, I love the Nike styles, but I can barely afford regular priced Champion! I don't mind paying full price for pants or capris, but it's a pain to thumb through sale racks at department stores or discount stores, and sometimes...

Sure - I picked AFAA to "start" to get a feel for the exam and the material. I researched extensively, and since I don't have a science background, AFAA was recommended as a good starter certification to get my feet wet. Feeling out the situation, I can "upgrade" my certification as necessary...

I posted under "Ask Cathe" by accident after searching and replying to an AFAA PT post -- Just wanted to know if anyone's recently taken the AFAA PT exam. I'm taking it this weekend and am basically answering questions in the study guide and hope to ask questions, take notes during the next...

My apologies -- this should be on Open Discussion. I just did a "search" and replied to this one not realizing it was under Ask Cathe. I'll make a new post over there.

Hi - I know this post is pretty old, but I wanted to add: I am taking the AFAA PT exam this weekend. My first of the three days starts tomorrow -- I read above they prepare you pretty well during the first two days. I am also hoping that the study guide is pretty accurate in what you need to...

Jane Green's "The Other Woman". Just read it. If you need a light, almost dessert-ish-type read, pick up any Jane Green book. Her earlier books dealt more with single life and dating, etc., and now her books deal with babies, marriage, etc. I just read "The Other Woman" because it came...

Thank you so much -- Really, thank you. I actually have had a couple places just recently that I thought were either mosquito bites or clogged pores. Good thing I'm going to the dermatologist tomorrow. Thank you again.
