Re Chin UPs I found that using my metal "over the door" hook from the hardware store, the one that I would hang towels on etc...was perfect. No more slippage from the bands. Then I discovered that taking the handles off and old worn our band and tying some study nautical line through the...

I bought some Gorilla "tape" which should cover the sliced area very well. It's just a straight separation in the plastic/vinyl running between the solid plastic of the step itself. Thanks for your input! Dianne

That stuff sounds great. Will it work for a tear, not the edges?

Does anyone know of a way to repair the plastic ribbed top on the step? I noticed a hairline tear beginning along one of the ribs. So, if anyone has come up with a way to keep their long step after it started this problem, would greatly appreciate any advice. Dianne

:) So relieved to find out I am not the only person on the face of earth who dislikes the phone! I have a cell phone only for emergencies and necessary conversations! I have coworkers...they go to the gym. I wonder how they find the time...I too, am comfortable with myself, my cats, and DH when...

Kathy, how long did it take for the in-laws to lose that excitement? DD MIL and StepMIL are falling all over themselves to sign up for sitting. Thanks for your nice response. Dianne

She didn't say I couldn't come by specifically, but the implication was there. I called today, and her MIL was there and she said, do you want me to call you if MIL leaves early? I think I can stop by tomorrow, but I am going to call first. They also asked that not everyone be over at the same...

Hi everybody, I'm an occasional lurker/poster. I think alot of your opinions, and I am sure there are many recently new mom's among you who might have some insight into this. I have a new 2 week old adorable baby GD. My dau and SIL live very close, and we have a good relationship. There are...

:7 You go girl! I too am 55. It is harder, that is for sure to totally keep up with all her cd's, especially the cardio. I was never great at it anyway, and usually end up lowering my step down to just the four inches! I just monitor my HR, and go from there. At this point, it's either keep...

I second every single thing on this thread! I'm 55, and I absolutely loved doing Low Max. AND...I did it only on the four inch step top. This was to keep may darn HR under 155! I don't get it...I am in reasonably good shape...yet, doing most cathe workouts, I have to use the four inch step, and...

Well...I have been an RN for 34 years. Yes, you can become a nurse in less than four years. Try your two year collage programs. Depending on what part of the country you apply, you could get in, in a reasonable period of time. There are prerequisites. The difference between an RN and an LVN, to...

RE: Peruse the site..... Hey, I am an RN..the other day I had a classic example of how our insurance industry works..I had a 19 yr old, in shape, male patient, who needed surgery to fix a fractured nose (broken is wierd accident with little sister) Insurance would only pay to fix functional...

Hi! I am an RN. Have been for 33 years...Wow, I get a hot flash just typing that. Anyway... I discovered Cathe about 4 years ago, since doing the Firm. What an amazing difference. I feel sad. My Firm tapes just sit here. There are ONLY so many you can pick from, and if my workout is going to...

RE: why do the people we love the most hurt us the most... The mother/daughter relationship is a hard one. Harder than dealing with one's father. I think the best advice, and I don't recall where I heard it, was, "you cannot change how the situation is, but, you CAN change the way you choose to...

What a mix of responses. Do you suppose there is a age related component to when you feel like you have time for your friends, and they have time for you. I have had some wonderful girlfriends, calling and confiding in me, Then, when they marry...it's like, "Where did they go!" I had a very nice...

Well, to all that responded so wonderfully...;thanks...Lidochick

Just wondering...it seems like so many once close girlfriends have gone away. Married, now having their first child at age 42+, remarried, very good friend until that happened, and now in another state. You know the story, your esential reason for friendship is changed by circumstance, and...

Here is a recent great example! I am 54 yrs old. Last Sunday I was racing my small 8 foot sailboat. When I came into the dock. I had one foot out, and one foot in....well I went swimming! I took a few strokes, grabbed, the boat. A friend took the boat. This left me eye-level with the dock. I...

Great suggestion, the book Alexis. I too feel like these friends, by the way, just before we lost touch we had had to dinner at our house, kids and all..it was really they that did not seem to want to continue..but now, that the oldest is off, out of state to university, I guess they have more...

How much should I spend on a high school grad gift for friends of dh and myself. We have recently have re-established our couples friendship after about a 18 year hiatus...where they were busy raising their two girls, and we basically just didn't keep in touch. So now we are invited to the...
