I run with my pepper spray in one hand and my keys in the other, ready to spray or stab at a moment's notice. If someone or a dog jumps on you, you won't have time to reach into your pocket. No, you are not being silly! Assume the worst. By the way, my pepper spray has a safety mechanism on...

Yes, ok, you make a valid point. I shouldn't have posted that website b/c it is obviously slanted. And I do agree that governments at all levels are at fault. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I have to admit that it's unfortunate that conservatives and liberals are so...

Look, I'm not stupid; of course I know that was a liberal website with all this additional commentary in it. In fact, I didn't even read most of that stuff about Bush. All I was trying to point out was that the Louisiana governor did in fact declare a state of emergency and asked for federal...

>And lastly, I have nothing more to add to this discussion but I would encourage you to apply some critical thinking of your own instead of relying on someone's bias, even if it is in line with your own. No story is one-sided. Elaine, I completely agree with you on thinking critically.

>These are opinions. You provided a link to a left-wing >website that offers nothing more than an editorial timeline >spun to promote the writers political and bias. > Elaine Sorry I offended you.

Actually, I'm not trying to push my political bias here. I'm actually trying to look at the facts, and since this timeline seemed to document each event, I thought these were the facts. However, if you are disputing any of the things in this timeline, would you please enlighten me? There is so...

Check out the events of Katrina in a timeline here: http://www.thinkprogress.org/katrina-timeline Please note that I am in no way attacking anyone here, but I'm sure we would all like to know the facts. The events of the timeline are all documented by the links. The governor of...

Tsut, Great website! The zig-zag table really helps. It's annoying to keep track of your calorie intake everyday, though, but I guess it's necessary. Thanks! Elaine

Has your dog been drinking a lot of water since the diarrhea? Maybe he's losing a lot of water from the diarrhea and is just rehydrating. Is he throwing up also? Does he seem lethargic? If so, I would probably try to bring him in sooner. I'm no vet, so I don't have any advice for you, but I...

Hi Tracy, I got a size 28 (6), and it sits very low waist (rise 8"), lower than most of my jeans. The waistband fits perfectly. I don't have much of a waist (my waist measures 28", my hips 34"). I'm not sure if it runs true to size because I don't think many other jeans run true to size! In...

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to actually go to a store and try them on. I got lucky with my Costco ones; they fit perfectly. I think these will be my "comfortable" pair. I do want to get a butt-hugger pair, for those days I'm feeling brave.

I was wondering whether the sizes are the same between styles. I got my first pair of Lucky jeans from Costco for $40. I couldn't pass it up! They are the Lowered Peanut style, which is probably discontinued since the Lucky website doesn't sell them. They are probably similar to the Easy Rider...

Great point, DeeDee! Don't read or post if you're not interested in the topic. You're not the moderator, Cathe is. If she lets the thread stay, then it stays.

Also check out www.collagevideo.com. You can find reviews and video clips of some of the workouts Aila mentioned. Then buy it at deepdiscountdvd. It really is the cheapest.

I have to throw in my 2 cents about Pilates, too! I love it! My abs have never been so cut (even though these past few months I haven't been watching my diet too closely). I use the Classical Pilates Matwork about 3x a week. It has routines for beginner, intermediate, advanced, and super...
