    LASIK

    Love it! Had it done 9+ years ago and never regretted it. Some discomfort after, dry eyes for about 6+ months (used a lot of drops) and no problems since. Good luck!

    Please help! I've hit a rough patch in my regular workout routine...

    Not Cathe - when this happens to me, I do Body Fusion a couple times before jumping back into intense workouts. It's a great, easy to follow, full body workout (except for core) that eases my body back into a regular routine. Good luck!

    Dying to do Boot Camp...Should I?

    Hi - I've have arthritis in my neck and A/C joint/shoulder and have modified upper body weights for the past 15 years. For shoulder work, "heavy" weights mean 5 lbs max, I do many without weights at all (or start the pyramid without weights). I also don't do overhead presses and modify with...

    Any advice for a co-worker?

    My sister went thru a similar situation this summer. After multiple miscarriages she thought at 16 weeks she could finally "get excited" but the next ultrasound showed that the baby's brain was being pulled out by a spinal cord injury (very rare). The things that helped her the most were...

    M.E.A.-Mircosulis Endometrial Ablation...

    I had an ablation (freezing method) several years ago to solve my 10+ year battle with long, super heavy periods that were interferring with my life. It has been wonderful! I'd do it again in a second and tell anyone to talk it over with their doc and consider it. I still have a...

    would you change the way you were married?

    We debated a lot on this too ..... We had an afternoon wedding in a church 12 years ago, lots of guests but only 1 attendant per side (my sister and his best friend). Light on flowers and decorations. Nice reception after with finger sandwiches, cake, drinks and a piano player. Simple...

    Shipping Alert!!!

    Ugh - I'm outta town until the 25th! I've already called my UPS driver so that if it comes while I'm gone, it doesn't sit out in the rain. Maybe I ordered late enought and UPS ground will take long enough that I don't miss out too much preview time! CAN'T WAIT!!

    Yet another question for dog owners

    My sister lives near a women's prision that has a program for the inmates that allows those with "good behavior and completion of training" to board and train dogs in their cells. Her dogs LOVE it. I use a great kennel where the owners are active in 4H and dog training. They also have a...

    Anyone watch "Private Practice?"

    RE: Anyone watch I watched and thought "soft" was putting it lightly! She was a complete wimp! She's supposed to be this world renowned neonatal surgeon and she's freaking out - give me a break. Well, I'm going to give them a break and give it another try tonight. The other characters are...

    Flooded by all different kinds of donation requests?

    My DH and I sat down and made a list of charities/causes that we believe in and those are the only ones we support with donations and in our wills. When asked to donate to others, we simply say we are giving elsewhere but good luck. We don't have children but many nephews so I have plenty of...

    Vegas Wedding Question

    I've been to 2 Vegas weddings and LOVED it! One was at Caeser's and the other at the Flamigo. Both had dinner & dancing after and then everyone was free to do whatever. I think at one of them we went to a brunch the next day, but both times we stayed for multiple days and made a mini-vacation...
