    Anyone else addicted to their iPad?

    This week I finally received my 3G iPad and I have to admit I'm totally addicted. It goes everywhere I go. I know so many people that say they have no use for it, but all I can say is I absolutely love it....my Kindle has now been relegated to a corner and hardly ever touched. I read all my...

    Help editing a DVD

    My sister found a VHS tape from 25 years ago of my Grandmother's 70th Birthday party and she made it into a DVD. In March my aunt is throwing a party for my grandmother's 95th Birthday. I would like to edit this DVD (some scenes are too dark and the DVD is too long) so I can "gift" it to people...

    Kathryn's "Cheezy" Kale Chips

    This weekend I made Kathryn's "Cheezy" Kale Chips (as posted on her blog) and all I can say is "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" They're absolutely delicious and healthy to boot! (I made my Kale Chips with pine nuts so I didn't have to soak anything before hand.) I can't recommend them...

    Pretty note cards

    I'm looking for websites that sell pretty note cards. I ordered a few that can be planted and grown (naturally, after they are read ;)) into wild flowers, but I like to have a lot to choose from when I decide to send someone a thoughtful note the old fashion way. I would also like to support...

    Adjusting Weights on 1 rep max

    Even after I did many of the 1 rep max tests, I found myself (after viewing the 1st DVD) adjusting many numbers on the workout card (I either rounded up the weight or increased the weight). Now I notice the weight is only valid on that card for the calandar day I adjusted. If I just print a...

    Safety of squats

    I've purchased STS and I'm really excited, but I am little hesitant about doing squats with any type of a square rack or smith machine after reading a recent news article....is this hype (see #8) or something we all should brush to the wayside. Someone I highly respect brought this to my...

    Question for hair experts

    Yesterday, I went to a new salon and had my highlights and lowlights done and my hair turned out reddish (just what I begged her not to do). Anyway....I paid and even tipped her (why? I have no idea because she did exactly what I explicitly asked her not to do). Needless to say, I hate the color...

    Dancing with the stars...who will win?

    Who do you think will win dancing with the stars....the hot boyish Mario Lopez or our own Dallas football hero who has a fantastic personality, Emmitt Smith. I honestly think Mario is the better dancer, but I just love Emmitt Smith's personality on the dance floor (Emmitt absolutely shines...

It was so simple.:) In one...

    Why do relatives like to comment about weight/food?

    I have my DH's family down for the weekend....after going out to dinner my BIL focused on MY dinner. The comments ranged from "what do you eat" to "if a gust of wind came by you would blow away." I did feel like saying I could always hold onto your fat overweight wife to anchor me. During the...

    I use way too much salt and I need some ideas on how to replace it. Although I don't have high blood pressure, I noticed I went through an entire salt shaker by myself in less then 2-3 weeks (DH doesn't even use it). Yikes! I am so bad that I even salt my food before I taste it!!! I'm hoping...
