    My posts were deleted and I was threatened to be banned from the forum!

    I was not trying to persuade others not to buy Cathe's products. I said I didn't like the music in STS Strength, but I did like the workouts themselves. I was participating in a thread where other people stated that they didn't like the music and I was agreeing with their opinions about...

    My posts were deleted and I was threatened to be banned from the forum!

    I don't see this as going to Cathe's house, I see it as a place of business that I have been a customer at for over ten years. As you said, "SNM is a business" and I wasn't "crapping all over their products." I'll use this as an analogy of what happened. I buy clothes at a specialty...

    My posts were deleted and I was threatened to be banned from the forum!

    I think they were deleted because my replies were directly to what Chris wrote and not another forum member. Chris didn't like that and deleted my posts and then sent me a nasty email. Erica

    Cathe - are you accusing me of soliciting other products because I mentioned another instructor in response to Chris' reply? If so, I don't think that's promoting the "warm, friendly, positive environment" you say you want to provide. Erica

    Anybody else disappointed in the music?

    My posts were deleted and, in addition to saying I didn't like the music in STS strength, I stated that I did like the workouts and that I loved the music in Bodymax 2. I only mentioned another instructor's music AFTER Chris stated that SNM spends more on music than anyone else in the...

    My posts were deleted and I was threatened to be banned from the forum!

    I only mentioned another instructor because Chris said that they spend more money on music than anyone else in the industry. I was just giving an example of an instructor that had better, more motivating music (IMO) without spending so much. Erica

    My posts were deleted and I was threatened to be banned from the forum!

    I'm absolutely sure that I didn't receive a programmed response. The funny thing is that what I wrote wasn't anything worse than what has been said in the postage stamp thread. Are other people receiving emails saying they violoated forum rules or is because I replied directly to Chris and he...

    My posts were deleted and I was threatened to be banned from the forum!

    I replied to two of Chris' posts in this thread about the music in STS http://www.thecathenation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275366 In my first post, I stated that I liked STS Strength, but didn't like the music. I didn't write anything worse than previous posters did - mostly that it was...

    Attitude of gratitude article?

    Sorry that I can't help you with this, Pam, but I just wanted to say that I really try to live my life with this "attitude of gratitude" and want my children to do the same. You're so right that it really changes our perspective of things! :) Erica

    Just found out I'm having twins!!!

    Congratulations! I have 15 1/2 year old twins and my oldest son was 3 1/2 when they were born. I had an easy pregnancy, but the first year was really tough for me. But, it was all worth it - my kids are all very close and always had each other for playmates. Hope you have a wonderful...

    The "unschooling" trend

    We have experienced the same thing. Our high school is very competitive and pushes the kids to take all of the hardest classes and get straight A's in those classes in addition to sports, clubs, community service, etc. My oldest son is a college freshman and has been burned out since his...

    The "unschooling" trend

    This has definitely been our experience also as far as the kids getting more and more homework as they get older and there is less family time. And, the teachers are teaching for the tests rather than having students really learn the subjects thoroughly. Erica

    What chores do your younger kids do?

    We do something similar to this in the summer. Once a week, we (my four kids and I) set the timer for 20 minutes and do a deep cleaning in one room. It's amazing how much we get done in 20 minutes! Erica

    Crazy strong and loving it for April 18, 2010

    Belinda - I think that's been happening to a lot of people on FB recently. A friend of mine and also my son had that happen recently - it was just for a few hours. I also noticed today that my friends list was down by one and figured out who was missing and her account is gone. Erica
