Happy Weekend, All, Deb,I'm so glad your dad is feeling better. Yesterday, I did Powerstrike. It's relatively new to me; this was my second time doing it. I liked it a lot. I love kickboxing, and this is different from my other KB tapes. Her cuing could be better in spots, but the...

Happy Friday, All Deb, good luck on talking sense into your dad. My mother has emphesema also, and still chain-smokes. She is a very intelligent woman otherwise, but she makes me want to tear my hair out. AND she has the nerve to tell me that diet soft drinks are bad for me - Argh...

Happy Thursday, All, Josie, aren't those 2-year-olds precious? You never know what they'll do or say next. Deb, congratulations on your weight loss - that's awesome! I'm pretty sure the thing that broke on my dentist's tray was part of the high-speed drill. It continually shoots out...

I love Costco. I have memberships to both Costco and Sam's because I feel the merchandise is different enough to justify both. Costco does carry higher end merchandise - I also think they have better deals. Sam's is better as far as variety - if you're looking for something in particular, you...

Wonderful thread - Dorothy Parker is my hero! I love the martini quote, but also (upon hearing her doorbell ring) ``What fresh hell is this?''

Happy Wednesday, All, garance, you go right ahead and be cranky - I think that's one of the good things about these forums - we can say things we wouldn't, couldn't, or shouldn't say to family, friends and co-workers. Besides, if you're not cranky, I may start to feel bad about what I'm going...

Greetings from the swamp, Can you tell that I am jealous of you guys and your lovely weather? I just keep telling myself to remember what it's like in Houston from mid-October to mid-April. Deb, I can't help you on the nails - I've never had acrylics or any other kind of fake nails. My...

Happy Sunday, All, garance, I'm with you on those bubble dresses. They're unflattering even on the anorexic models and actresses. I didn't work out yesterday. My son-in-law (named Dean) decided he needed to buy plywood to have on hand to board up his windows in case Hurricane Dean came...

Happy Friday, All, The sun is shining here today - it looks especially beautiful after yesterday. I managed to get home, but it was slow going - high water, trees down, etc. I consider myself and my family oh-so lucky - there were 3 deaths here in Houston - 2 at a grocery store when the roof...

StaceyC, I had very painful and loud (cracking, crackling) knees. What made a world of difference for me was to do lunges onto the step instead of flat on the floor. Squats don't seem to bother my knees as much, especially if I push my rear end way out, which puts much more emphasis on the...

Oh, so many dirty little secrets - I'll just tell one: After stumbling all over my step when I tried to do ricochets, I decided that I am too much of a klutz to risk a broken neck like that again, so ever since then when Cathe and crew do ricochets I admire them while I do heel-toes.

Happy Thursday, All, Yesterday, I had a doctor's appointment after work. I could have worked out afterward, but DH said ``Hey, while we're in this part of town, let's go out to eat at - '' and he started naming good restaurants. Guess what I picked? Yep, pigging out over working out...

garance, Slummy Mummy may be just what I need to read next. I'm halfway through Harry Potter and this last book is so bleak. I loved the others, especially the lighthearted parts, but there just don't seem to be any in this one so far. Jen

Happy Tuesday, All, Deb, your vacation sounds wonderful - enjoy the rest of your week. There may come a time when I download workouts, but I have no desire to do so now, especially since I have so many DVDs in good working order, as well as a pretty good number of VHS tapes. Yesterday...

Happy Monday, All, Saturday, I had a grandchild sighting after work. Sunday, I had several errands that had to be run after work. I swear I'll get to SuperSets tonight! Funny empty nest story - my son is a federal law enforcement officer. When he graduated from the police academy and got...

Happy Weekend, All, Josie, have fun multitasking - spending time with your grandchild while exercising! Sure enough, I did not get to exercise yesterday. There were just too many errands to run and too much to do to get ready for DH's birthday party. We had a blast, though, and, once...

I would be honored if you'd send me a copy - [email protected] Thanks so much for all your hard work.

Happy Friday, All, I'm about to leave to take my past 24 hours worth of urine to the lab. Yes, you read that right - one of the joys of Diabetes. Once a year, I have to collect urine for 24 hours (and keep it refrigerated) to be checked for protein levels. This will determine if my kidneys...

Happy Thursday, All, This is the first time I've attempted to start a thread - hope I'm doing it right! garance, I like your definition of ''feels-like'' temperature much better (cracked me up), but the boring definition involves some mathematical calculation using a combination of...

Happy Wednesday, All, Wish I could say the weather is better, but we're under a heat advisory again today. The feels-like temperature will be 107, and right now the humidity is 82 percent. DH is so tired when he comes home that he's usually in bed at 8 p.m. Deb, Leslie Sansone does have...
