A-jock, This works for me! I don't really care where we meet. I'm pretty good in Minneapolis now and all southern suburbs.

Go You! It takes an enormous amount of gumption to face a fear, and you did it! 86% is great! I remember helping my girls study for their tests, thinking I would not do too well if I had to take it over again after all these years. I can only parallel park on street with no traffic so...

I'd love to meet some of the other Cathe-ites (since I can't go on the Road Trip, this will be as close as I will probably get). Weekends work best for me since it is a 3-hour drive one-way. DD attends the U of M and we make this drive a lot so it's not a big deal. Please don't let my...

I do like the Caramel Delight but find it is too sweet on its own so I eat it mixed with my Cheerios - 2/3 c. Cheerios to 1/3 c. Fiber One. I have always loved Cheerios but they don't have as much fiber as I would like and the Caramel Delight is too sweet on its own. I only eat cereal on...

RE: Opinions on Patricia Moreno's Kickbox Core Cross Tr... I just opened this one tonight. I did the 26 minute - core workout and I LOVED it! I have not even previewed the other portions but feel this part alone is worth it. The video clips do not do it justice. She shows you a move...

One of my coworkers often says - "Can you be more pacific?" Kills me every time.

I really like my high step!! I have 6 risers but usually only use 5 for most of the exercises. I do have both High Step Training Advanced and High Step and High Step Challenge - both have their fans see a couple of the numerous threads discussing them here...

RE: Those who've quit smoking, do you consider yourselv... I am a non-smoker who still (after 25 years) wants to bum cigarette from someone after I have had a couple of drinks. There are some associations that are just hard to break. Maybe in those instances, I am a recovering nicoholic...

Thanks everyone. I was in Hy-Vee tonight and saw they had the scented Yesterday's news for $5.89 and the Breeze cat litter system for $29.99. DH wanted to try the Yesterday's news first because he thought the cats would like it better than the Breeze system (and it's cheaper). I bought a...

My cats are driving me nuts! DH said that Tidy Cat Scoop was really dusty so I changed to Fresh Scoop but they have been tracking that stuff all over the house!! So I tried Arm & Hammer and that is worse. There is a Tidy Cat Breeze system that I saw in Wal-Mart with big pellets. Has anyone...

Beth, "Not one drop on my white jammies" How about if you sweat? Last summer, I swore off tanners because if I sweat even a little in bed, it would leave a brown stain on the sheets. (I'm perimenopausal so sometimes the night sweats have me sweating more than a little bit.) Please tell...

Here's one I used to make with my kids all the time. Good-For-You Gems 1/2 c. dry milk 1/2 c. honey 1/2 c. peanut butter 1 1/2 c. granola (divided) Combine dry milk, honey, peanut butter and 3/4 c. granola and knead mixture until combined. Shape into balls (works better if hands...

I really like these apples too!! They were developed at the U of MN specifically for cooler growing climates. They are a fairly early harvest apple and can be found in the stores starting in mid-Sept. They are not as easy to locate as some types of apples, and if your store doesn't carry them...

We hit a skunk in Oct. and ran the car through one of those touchless car washes once that night and again the next day. It really didn't do a lot to eliminate the odor. I had to leave the car out in the driveway for about a week before the odor went away. What really made a difference was...

I just got the York vertical weight rack for Christmas and I really like it. I have 30#, 25#, 20# and 15# in gray cast-iron hex dumbbells and they all fit great. I have a pair of 12# soft-neoprene dumbbells that are contoured for easier gripping, but these don't fit because they are not...

We have Wii Play which I bought primarily for the Wii Remote that came with it, but my daughter (19) and I enjoyed it. It wasn't as physically challenging as Wii Sports by any means and a couple of the games had me totally perplexed (the tank game for one), but ping-pong, pool, target practice...

Besides all the wonderful looking apple recipes listed here, you can also make some apple pies and freeze them for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Just make your favorite apple pie recipe (my favorite is in the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook) and freeze the pie in a freezer ziploc bag. Then bake...

DD has been suffering from IBS-like symptoms (self-diagnosis, no MD) for the past couple of years - stress really seems to bring on the intestinal woes. She tried Activia, but hadn't really had any luck and then our store started carrying Lifeway Organic Kefir smoothies. She loves the stuff...

Belinda, I visited Germany 25 years ago - Bavaria, Heidelberg and Karlsruhe and I still remember the bread!! My favorite were Semmeln (a type of dinner roll). I would love to go back! Oberammergau was so beautiful! Actually all of it was beautiful...and everyone we met was very...

I'm here representing the SW part of the state - Marshall. Home to Schwan's (home delivery service and parent co. of Tony's, Red Baron & Freschetta pizza) DD's boyfriend was helping his brother move from the U of Minn dorms to a house nearby the campus on Wed. They did not have to travel on...
