No Amy. But it's probably going to happen - we're just not sure about how long yet. I don't like it either. :-( Carolyn

All mirrors are not made equal. :) The wider the mirror, the wider you will appear and vice versa. I NEVER trust a mirror. I think photographs are a better reflection but I believe that digital images can distort somewhat. Just my take. Carolyn

Skype is pretty much my lifeline. I honestly think I would be dead broke without it. And that phone is AWESOME! I'm not sure there are a lot of open networks in my little German town, but I'll for sure be getting this puppy when we move back to the states. In fact, DH is going to be deployed so...

Chris, You're floor looks great! I'm so glad you recommended putting the Pavi mats over the puzzle mats. Now I don't have to waste them by throwing them out. Oh, and I love your AbFab picture! I used to watch that show religiously. :) Carolyn

I agree with Shana. It sounds like you might be overtraining. Overtraining can be a tricky thing. For some people, they can train 7 days a week and be fine, but for others, 4 intense days can lead to overtraining (feeling unmotivated, tired, bored with your workouts, achy, trouble sleeping...

I live in Germany and although we have our fair share of Smart cars, I would say the majority of Germans drive German cars (Mercedes, Audi, VWs, etc). NONE of those car makers offer hybrids. And Germans do drive a lot. And they also drive a LOT faster than we do on average, which uses much more...

Hi Amy! I wondered if I would surprise you! I found a travel magazine about the Canary Islands today and realized it wasn't that long of a trip. Also, I have been DYING to go to the beach for like 2 years now. And I want to spend our stimulus check on something fun. Of course you can come but...

Chris, Good to know! No, I haven't yet ordered the wedges or the edges yet. Would you recommend this? I have a small workout room and I didn't think I've have room for them. I didn't want to have to cut the mats too much as I move every 2.5 years or so and who knows how big my next space will...

So today I decided that I NEED to visit the Canary Islands. :) I've never been there before and I have no idea what to expect. I'm planning on doing this within the next 2 months or so. So for all you well-traveled folks - any advice on which island/resort to go to??? I'd like to have something...

I agree with everyone else and wanted to add that you should inform them that if they don't compensate you or if they charge you for the drapes, you will be reporting them to the better business bureau. I know that doesn't always help but DH and I did that with our local (at the time) Volkswagen...

Stepitup, Yeah, I realize they don't do well over carpet. Thank goodness that isn't an issue for me. I'm wondering if any of the rubber tiles would do well over carpet? I was actually getting ready to build my own aerobic floor when Kevin contacted me and told me he had no problem shipping...

I avoid it now too but I had no idea it was potentially so dangerous! I've been reading lately about how fake sweeteners can contribute to weight GAIN. Something about how the body realizes it's not getting calories when it should be and makes up for it later. That was enough for me. I've...

Allison, Not to hijack this thread but I wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you and your little runaway. I can't imagine how stressed I would be if my kitty did this to me. Hopefully she's just out having kitty adventures. Carolyn

I would say that if she seeks attention from you and purrs, she's pretty happy. Do you play with her? Cats need to be stimulated so if she's bored, a daily 'play session' may help. I'm sure others will chime in with better advice. Oh, and if you decide to get her a friend, I believe you should...

Or you could go to a Physical Therapist. They are also experts in dealing with spinal issues. And they also do manipulation if necessary (it's not always the right treatment - regardless of what some in the medical field may lead you to believe). In the meantime, I would do some gentle movements...

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you all know that I just ordered some larger mats (I believe they are 9 square feet each) from kieferfloors.com. I've been researching aerobic mats for a while now and finally decided on the pavigym mats. I'll let you know how they workout if anyone is interested...

Hi Amy! I knew about your elevator problem. Don't you think it's because of that terrifying scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory (or is it Charlie and the Chocolate factory?)? I guess I should say that I have a phobia about passing out too. It's all tied up in the blood drawing...
