Another thread got me thinking, with all of you healthy ladies and gents, is there something you know is bad for you that you gave up for the good of your health, but that you still miss anyway? I quit smoking 3 years ago...and still miss it terribly. I always say, if I am ever diagnosed...

I know there are a lot of Clevelanders/Ohioans on here. What do we think of Lebron's "announcement?" I got sick of will he or won't he about half way through the season. I am sickened by how he played it over the last week or two. Now what choices are the Cavs left with? I just can't...

I walk my dog pretty much every day...at least when it isn't raining. This winter, even when it was FREEZING, I put on a face mask and we went a-walkin'. I have been walking anywhere from 30-60 minutes, depending on how much time I have. I would really like to speed up in my walks but...

I just finished watching the first two seasons of True Blood and was thinking of reading the Sookie Stackhouse books the series is based on. I think I may have messed up not only reading the books but also watching the next season of True Blood. I was reading the synopses for the future books...

Nan (spyrosmom) got me thinking in another thread (Big Kids) about how much I like the smell of crayons. What are some of your weird (or not so weird?) favorite smells? Here are some of mine: Weird: Gasoline Bleach Pine-sol (not REALLY weird) Not Weird (at least not to me): The...

I have SEVERAL DVDs that I no longer use but am finding a hard time parting with. They are not eligible for Amazon "buy back" program and really don't sell on ebay. I am thinking of donating them to my local library but feel bad that I paid the money for them and am getting "nothing" in return...

Janie's thread got me thinking. My 2 year-old mutt, Sandy, has the opposite problem. She pulls pretty much the entire walk. She is pulling me out of the house, down the stairs, down the drive...well, you get the picture! I have watched The Dog Whisperer and it seems most of the dogs I see on...

Let me start off by thanking everyone in advance for even taking the time to read what I am sure is going to be a lengthy post! First some background:p: We adopted a shepherd/collie mix dog (we named her Sandy) back in August from a shelter. She was a stary for God knows how long so we have...

Afternoon all! I just purchased AOS Kettlebell Way 2 (Brooklyn?) and then found links on their sight listing downloadable workouts. Has anyone done Resolution or Diva workouts? How long are they? I like the idea of the PDF guide. TIA for all responses. Carrie

the cornier the better! Here is one from me... Q: What does the chef require the cowboys to wear to dinner? A: Ranch Dressing:D Carrie

I am getting wireless headphones for my birthday:D! Now, which ones should I ask for? I looked at the Jaybird Gear. Are they good? Some reviewers are saying they didn't fit in their ear or around their head. Also, some are reporting syncing/connection issues. Has anyone who owns a pair...

I am truly curious. I have read a lot of threads recently where one or more people have posted a comment that the board has "changed" and that it wasn't always this way. I am one of those people who wants everyone to get along so I am really curious. Are there trouble makers that have come...

For my fellow "know-it-alls":p: The gym I belong to offers two free personal training appointments for all members. I am just now going to take advantage and have my first appointment this afternoon at 5:30. The gentleman asked that I come with a towel, water, and two goals that I want to...

I have three cats - one older, and two "babies" I adopted from the shelter a year ago. I am having an issue with one of the younger cats, Ginger (a male). His urine doesn't clump with the clumping litter. It looks like it is clumped when you look in the box. However, when I go to scoop it...

Good afternoon all! My co-worker and I are *trying* to improve our eating habits. She is actually much further along in the process than I am. Anyhoo...we each take turns bringing in cut up veggies to snack on throughout the day. If we wanted a dip for the veggies, is there a particular kind...

Here is a question for my fellow Catheites...I am starting Meso 3 and did squat rack legs on Tuesday. My question is, what do I cound as the weight of the bar on a smith machine? I thought it wouldn't count as anything since it is on wires/rails. One of the ladies at the gym who seems to know...

Cathe (or other member of the well-educated crowd), I found that after doing STS Disc 1 my lats were SORE. I wonder if it was one of the push-up variations that affected my back? At first I thought I must have done something wrong but my co-worker who is a couple days behind us had the same...

I am LOVING that Obama is talking about capping the salaries of executives from companies who received federal bailout money. It's about time!!! http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/04/obama.executive.pay/index.html Carrie

I have questions about two different leg exercises but didn't want to waste the space and post twice:p. 1. Why are back lunges "easier" than front lunges? When I do front lunges, the knee of my "back" leg (the one I didn't move forward) hurts a little. It doesn't hurt at all when doing...

I just finished reading The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian. Has anyone else read this book? I found it very strange. After reading and even re-reading parts, I am not sure how much (all?) of the story was part of the main characters psychoses. For those of you who have read it, what do...
