I think there's something to be said for being open to getting out before things get out of control. My DH and I should have sold our house a few years ago due to a change in our finances. He adamantly refused and we began to not be able to keep up with the maintenance -- nothing major, but...

First of all, like so many others, I'm truly sorry for the pain and stress that you are going through. This past year, I felt that my best friend was getting too close to my husband. She began texting him while he was on business trips, etc... I spoke to him, explained how I felt and he...

I love my Kangoos, too! I've had mine for almost a year and still use them fairly regularly. I haven't taken them outside -- I think it would be too much for the small German village I live in :p They do make some noise on the tile floor in my exercise room, next to my DH's office, so I've...

It does depend on exactly why you didn't like TJ. For me, I thought it was a little slow, a little too . . . I don't know. I just didn't click with it. TF, however, I love. It's faster, but there's a modifier if you need to do lower impact. Chalene is on a stage facing you with only two...

I'm lucky enough to have a large space in our finished basement. The one thing that I wish I'd considered is the lighting. My TV is in a corner and the majority of the lighting (overhead and wall) is in the other areas. When I used to go to a gym, everything was well lit, even the corner...

Hi AIshaa! I'm in Germany and have had several orders shipped to me. Cathe has international delivery available as an option. All you need to do is decide which DVDs you want, put them in your cart and fill in the delivery information. The shipping options will appear in a drop down list...

I've read the actress who plays Betty, January Jones, has found that people aren't separating her from her character. People felt sorry for her in the first season but, as Betty has become a less sympathetic character, Jones has noticed a difference in how the public treats her. I, for one...

My DH just switched jobs, too. Once he started the new job, I realized how much stress his previous job was causing for us (financial, etc) and it seems like I can breathe again. Finding a good fit can be difficult and I'm happy for you and your family that you not only found something, but...

I'm currently living in Germany, but have lived in many European cities. I think the answer to your question depends upon what kind of a person you are -- do you like to travel? comfortable with change? open to learning a new language (assuming you don't speak French)? Would you be coming on...

I still do a handwritten card each year, with an update, like in the old days :p I figure that a lot of my communication (I'm overseas) is via e-mail or Facebook. I feel that a handwritten note is something personal, and since very few people do them anymore, that it stands out. It sure...

Oooh, that's always my worst case scenario! If the DVDs can't just be delivered, then at least deliver them and collect Customs at my door! I'm sorry. It's always a bummer for me to have to deal with the trip to Customs. It's not hard, just a hassle -- and delays me getting my delivery...

I'm not sure that it'll change from "processing". My account shows "processing" from the STS bundle I ordered (and received) at the beginning of the year. I ordered the new series at the beginning of May and it also still shows "processing", though I'm certain they've shipped. Maybe I...

Customs here can be an issue, too. Even if Customs is more lenient in New Zealand, they still got there and cleared pretty darned quick! Mail's already come and gone for me today. They'll come tomorrow, I'm sure of it! (visualizing, positive thinking, visualizing, positive thinking) ;)

On another forum (VF) someone in NZ has already gotten theirs! I'm in Europe and was thinking they'd show in in Canada first, then make their way over here. Now I'm stumped, but sure will be watching for the mail truck!

Her "Banish Fat Boost Metabolism" and "No More Trouble Zones" have circuits that are repeated twice. If you need to save time, you can cut the workout in half by doing each circuit only once.
