I have 12-pound and 15-pound barbells, so I asked for 9- and 18-pounders. I also asked for 15-pound weights, as my heaviest are 12s.

Woo-hoo! I strongly feel you deserve to work in a building with a working toilet!

I'm back from testing. I passed 6 tests, including advanced Word - woo-hoo! I did great on the first 5 tests, and, for all I know, may have only answered 51 percent of the Word stuff correctly, but that's all it took. Thanks for all the info and encouragement. I'm trying not to get my hopes up...

The trick for me is to exercise the very minute I get home from work. I'm like SRP, once I sit down, I'm done! I truly admire fit mom, but I would never get up off the couch after dinner to exercise! There are plenty of times I walk in the door thinking ''no way'' but I tell myself to just do...

Happy Thursday, All, Yesterday, I did CTX Power Circuit. That one is fun - I enjoy the mix of Hi-Low, Step, and Kickbox. The body parts worked are back and abs - back is my favorite body part to work. The music is good, too. I'm leaving in a couple of hours for testing - not too nervous...

Hi, Deb, Thanks for the well-wishes. The testing is tomorrow morning. I'll be okay, I think, if I get a chance to talk to someone first, but the e-mail I got today makes me think I'm just going to sit down in front of a computer, take tests, then leave. They'll call people to come back after...

Many thanks, marnold. I think I need to take a deep breath . . .

Many thanks, Nan, and the same to you! Let us know how it goes.

Okay, please talk me down, guys, because I am so nervous. . . I've been at the same job for 23 years, but recently started applying other places. I work for a newspaper and they've had wave after wave of layoffs. Now I hear they may get rid of my whole department, and I'm not even sure this...

Sloopy Wafflehump at your service - er, that is, if your service requires an aging camel porn star . . .

Happy Weekend, All, Thanks Garance, and Deb, I did see your post. I've been to the Makeup Alley site and like it a lot - I'll check out the brand you mentioned. Deb, I'm familiar with Baylor, and will check with them next. Most of my doctors use Methodist, in fact, several of them used to...

I found a fantastic web site today, purely by accident - www.quiethourstoys.com I just dropped a giant chunk of change there, one day after I told DH that I had finished Christmas shopping and wouldn't use the credit card for the rest of the year - Hah! I defy anyone to click on that site...

Happy Thursday, All, It's wonderfully cool in Houston - finally feels like the Christmas season. Deb, I envy you your thick hair - mine is so fine and thin. It's not a menopause thing, though - it's always been like that. I finally got a call back from the office of the doctor who...

Happy Wednesday, All, Heh, I'm betting that SNM response came from Chris. I don't think that man knows how to be civil. Last night, I finally did the Step Blast I've been talking about for almost 2 weeks. I felt okay when I started, but sick to my stomach afterwards. I know it was good for...

The worst things happen during the holidays. I tip my hat to you for even being able to post after such a traumatic event. I would be babbling incoherently. You are a strong lady.

Happy Wednesday, All, So far, no luck finding an immunologist, though I'm still looking. I found one yesterday. but he is ``quite specialized.'' He only treats a few specific disorders. Although it's possible I could have one of the things he treats, he won't see me because I haven't been...

Happy Monday, All Garance, I tried to read one Cormac McCarthy book, and quickly realized that I couldn't do it, although he's a wonderful writer. I just can't stand to read about violence, especially torture. I wanted you guys to know I'm still around, although it seems the universe isn't...

Netta - No, that wasn't me. I've always struggled with the scale. Reese - I'm 55. I was 47 when symptoms began. They lasted 5-6 years. Really rough - hot flashes, cold flashes, sleep was a distant memory for a while. I went on the natural estrogen, but it didn't seem to do much. My doctor put...

I have good news and bad news. I lost a lot of weight after going through menopause, but the hardest place to lose, by far, is in the abdominal area.
