    Simple, low cost, reliable pedometer

    Can anyone recommend a pedometer within the $30.00 and under price range? I am looking for something reliable and easy to use (so I am not interested in Fitbit type gadgets). Gracias! :)

    Kangoo Jumps

    I am stunned that some of you equipment junkies that will drop $34.95 for a fake jump rope or $18.00 on glide discs (glorified paper plates) have not jumped on the bandwagon for these bad boys. http://www.kangoojumps.com/ They are almost cool as the Hawaiian chair (aka the Hula Pooper) These...

    Haiti Resource Guide

    A colleague sent this my way and I thought I'd share with those of you who have expressed concern. It also is a great tool to share with your kids. http://www.thrall.org/special/haiti2010.html

    For the tea drinkers out there

    Starbucks just started selling their full leaf teas this week. It makes for a very nice cup of tea (through the drive thru window of course ;) ) Between myself and my staff we give the Awake, China Green Tips, and Chai and enthusiastic two thumbs up :) Enjoy!

    Adagio Tea Rave

    I have been a long time customer of Adagio Teas and love their loose teas. Their customer service is awesome and they ship quickly. One of my Cathe friends, a wonderful lady who is the epitome of coolness and pizzaz, sent me a gift certificate so I decided to go a little crazy and order some...

    You Nasty Finger Lickers!

    Yeah you, the senior lady in the hair salon licking your fingers as you turn the pages of one of the magazines for customers. Not only do I like to get my hair and nails done but I love getting your cooties reading the latest issue of Vogue too! Oh, and you evil grocery bagger lady. Thanks...

    Favorite Wines?

    As a fairly indiscriminate uneducated wine drinker I'd love to know what others out there enjoy. I like to try different wines and usually rely on word of mouth, sampling, and snazzy bottle labels to find new things. I rarely venture beyond the $25.00 range but I dare not stoop to MD 20/20...

    Vegan soups......mmmmm

    I just have to say I'm enjoying the most bomb diggity vegan split pea/barley soup. I found a highly recommended recipe online but I wonder if any of you Cathletes have some recommended vegan/vegetarian soup recipes you'd be willing share.

    Tracie Long?

    I wonder if any of the ol' Firmies out there know what she is up to these days? Last I knew she owned a gym in Charleston, SC but I have seen nothing about any new workouts since the TLT series (the website is now down). I always thought she was an awesome instructor. It seems all the old...

    Push Reel Mowers

    Is there anyone out there using a push reel? Thoughts? I am looking into moving in this direction since I am tired of paying for lawn service and I am not afraid of some additional exercise (and I hate the stinky gas powered mowers).

    For those of us who remember good TV

    I can't believe no one has mentioned the passing of the legendary Bea Arthur on Saturday. She will always be one of my absolute favorites. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/26/arts/television/26arthur.html And for those of you wise enough to know before there was Sex and the City there was the...

    Question for low brow coffee drinkers

    I am looking for a coffee making contraption (can you tell I don't touch the stuff) for my mother's birthday and I'd like recommendations if you have them. She has a Farberware percolator that brews coffee like water now (after doing a little research I have learned that Farberware isn't what...
