It has been a while since we have seen an updated picture of your family. I bet the boys have really grown. I think everybody would love to see a current picture of dad and the boys (you too, of course). Wont you post one? Please.

I workout after work with a full face of makeup. It wrecks havoc on the necklines of my t-shirts and tops. Mixed with sweat, the makeup will not come out. Does anyone have any hints on how they remove makeup stains from their workout clothes?

I love to go fast. It seems like the most advanced steppers are the ones that like to go fast. 160 bpm is fast but fast is fun. If I am in a class that goes 130, I get so bored that I have to go run on the treadmill to get a workout. Sorry to disagree with everyone, but I prefer it.

Why do they call the Hope Diamond the "Hope Diamond????" It is NOT a diamond. It is a necklace with a blue diamond in the center. And why do they call the Mall in Washington DC a "Mall????" It is not a mall, it is a large grassy field. I got so confused when I went there because I...

I couldnt agree more! Eveyone looks so cute and Cathe is as pretty as ever.

I was single for a long time and married late in life. I still have no children and will not be having any. I dont have any sympathy for people with children. It was your decision to have them so you have to live with that. I also resent the tax breaks you get because of children. I get...

I went shopping for a new pair of jeans. I went into a Lucky Brand Jeans store. Now, I am not dainty. I am 5'10" and wear a size 12/14. I am not big, just average for my height. I could not find a single thing in that store to fit me. Their size 14 jeans looked like a size 10 or 8. I found a...

Honestly, I would steer clear of the MAO inhibitor. It is considered an antidepressant and that class of drugs have so many side effects. Also, there are certain foods you cannot eat when taking and MAO. Please dont take any drugs that effect the chemical reactions in your brain. My...

Hi Cathe: I have been reading some of your replys lately and I have to say that I am very happy to see you conversing with us. I noticed it mostly with the "Oatmeal" thread, however, I have noticed it on some of the other threads too. You are telling us little things about yourself that I...

I too like to see Cathe and the crew sweating. Makes me feel like they are working as hard as I am.

200 walking lunges with hand weights! No kidding, doing 200 walking lunges will really wake things up and you will really notice a difference.

We got a large, wonderful jar of honey just the other day. Inside the jar was a big piece of honey comb. Can we eat this too, wax and all?

I love false eyelashes, and wigs! I woul wear false eyelashes in a second if I needed them. And I would wear a wig in a second if I needed one of those too. I would pick a long, blonde wig. There is a newscaster at a local TV station and she wears false eyelashes every day and she...

Houses have maintenance. You must always update or your house will look dated. You have to maintain the lawn etc. Our new roof repair ate up any equity we have have gained this year. Oh, and lets not forget that the carpet needs replacing. And not with more carpet because people want...

A 15% jump in rent is pretty high. I have never rented anywhere where the rent did not go up each time my lease expired. What you can do is call the apartment and act like a prospective renter and see what they are charging for a place the same size as yours. That will give you some...
