So, I am currently in a career field that is very limited location-wise. I am a translator for the government, which means that I have to stay in the DC/Baltimore area in order to continue in this career field, since that is where the interested government agencies are located. I've been doing...

I'm so excited that the tower was 15% off (just until today!!) that I went ahead and bought it!! :) Anyone else take the plunge? :) MC

Hello! My husband has been suffering with pretty debilitating neck pain of undetermined source for several years (MRIs, Xrays, and nerve conduction tests are inconclusive).... he's tried physical therapy and acupuncture in addition to his pain management medications over the last 3 or so...

So, back in January, I went to the ER at about midnight after 3 hours of constant vomiting (about every 10 minutes) and upper back pain (not debilitating pain, but definitely nothing to shake off). While there, they did a CT and an ultrasound and diagnosed me as having gall stones and suffering...

Fellow Catheites, I have two cats: Maya (10 years old) and Lola (8 years old). I've had them both since they were kittens and they're both rescues. I'm not a HUGE cat person, but I love animals in general and the plight of pets in shelters just tortures my soul. Maya, the older one, has...

I'm so excited! The few clips I've seen make it look so awesome! I'm pumped for the upbeat music! :) MC

I fear my 7-year-old computer (yes, 7!!) is on its last legs. In order to avoid losing some very important documents and files that I have saved on my computer hard drive, I'm thinking about online document/file storage, simply because I don't want to transfer them to another computer and lose...

So, I have a question. My sister lives in Virginia, and she has been subletting a room in a single family home from a couple (let's call them "the Smiths") who's been renting said single family home for a few years. My sister has been living there without incident for about 10 months now. In...

Has anyone ever known someone who used HCG (either injections or sublingual drops) to lose weight or tried it themselves? Any feedback on it? Everything I find on the internet is glowing in positivity, but I'm wondering about any real-life stories if you guys have any... MC

Good morning, ladies! I hope you don't mind if I get us started? I went snow tubing in Pennsylvania yesterday, and it wasn't bad-- I got some exercise in lugging that huge tube up the hill!! The place was some sort of snow park/golf course (odd combo), but it was really geared towards...

I'm looking pretty desperately for something to get me back on track, so I was wondering if anyone has ever signed up for the eDiets thing (either the food delivery OR the customized meal plans, but I'd rather do the meal plans) and if it's been helpful. Thank you in advance! MC

Quick question- just wondering if any of you ladies ever pumped exclusively and didn't actually do any PHYSICAL breastfeeding. Just wondering if this is possible. MC

Okay, so, I have been gaining and losing the same 40lbs for the last 2 years. It takes me so long to lose it, and only a month or 2 to gain it back, which is of course disheartening-- not to mention disturbing! How does it take me 8 months to lose the weight but only 3 to gain it all back...

I've started running again, and I'm loving everything except my blasted headphone cord for my iPod. It's seriously making me crazy. I've tried four different types of headphones in the last few months, and the cords are too long, too short, or just too annoying. Do any of you guys have any...

Fellow Catheites, I am trying to help DH and myself stay away from takeout... We have the best of intentions with regard to eating better, but we both work long hours and usually get home pretty late (7:30-8:30pm). I've been toying with the idea of making dinners ahead of time in batches and...

Does anyone know if the Fit TV version of Core Max is pretty much the whole thing, or if there are major parts cut from it? MC

Debbie, I know you are insanely busy tending to so many other peoples' needs, so if you cannot answer this request, I completely understand. I was looking through your rotation post (which is sooo wonderful! Thank you for compiling that!), and I didn't see any that really incorporated...

A little background: my DH and I had bought a house in 2005 that was 70 miles from where we work because real estate prices in Maryland were absolutely insane. Fast forward to 2008-- DH has a chronic neck pain problem and the daily 140-mile round-trip commute was killing him. We tried to...

Hello! Okay, I've had a bad few days, eating-wise. I am back on track tomorrow. DH has been sick; I'm hoping to avoid that! Off to bed... must wake up for my workout tomorrow morning to burn off some of the junk I ate!! :) MC

Most mornings for the past two weeks (I'd say every morning except for 2 or 3), I've been waking up with swollen hands and a puffy face... It's not painful, but it's uncomfortable and annoying! I figured it might be that I was unknowingly taking in too much sodium. So this past week, I watched...
