    Personal and Long: Need Advice

    Laurie, You have gotten some good advice thus far, but I was wondering if it is possible that he wasn't being a "dirty old man" but a sad and lonely old man. This in NO way excuses his behavior, but it may change your perspective of the situation. Perhaps you have been so kind and supportive...

    Drill Max Premix Suggestions?

    Not sure if this was suggested, but I would like an option to do the workout backwards Like Drill #6,5,4,3,2,1...or 4,5,& 6 before 1,2,3. Similar to how Imax 2 has option to divide up workout, so that we don't always have to start with Drill #1. Thanks!

    Help me, I can't loose

    RE: Help me, I can't lose Linsey, I can relate to you! It's so frustrating to not see the results that you expect after working hard. I had been at the same weight for over 1 year and finally started seeing results when I got a personal trainer and did more circuit style training and higher...

    Jeans for fall!

    As a pear shaped chick with a big butt (no exaggeration!), I have had great luck with the Gap Curvy low rise bootcut jeans (~$58 when not on sale, $39 or less off season). They have a wide waistband, tapered at the waist, and loose but not baggy in the thigh area (For those of us with strong...

    Hairstylists & Curlyheads, I have a question

    Hi Laura, I also have frizzy (More wavy than curly) hair that, yes, is in a ponytail at the moment! I live in a high humidity state,Georgia, and the only thing I can do in the summer is grin and bear it. Well, not so much grin, but I accept it as a temporary condition. Like others have...

    Most common baby names

    As someone with an unusual name-Yasoni (pronound:YAS-oh-nee or JAS-oh-nee)-I have to say that it is both a curse and a blessing to have a name that is not run of the mill. I hate having to explain the pronunciation ALL THE TIME, but I like the fact that its unique. (I googled the name & yes I am...

    Is there a food that everyone else likes.....

    Oysters! How can eating slime taste good? I have tried to like but really can't stand broccoli. Yeah, its a nutrition powerhouse, but no thanks! I tried brussel sprouts & cauliflower once in my life and felt that was enough. Hey, Nancy, my mom makes an eggplant parmigiana (sp?) that...

    Oatmeal

    HI Yvonne, Have you ever tried Quaker Oatmeal Squares? Its a cold cereal in a blue box. Its crunchy and has a cinnamony flavor. I eat it when I am burned out on regular oatmeal. I don't have a box right now (runs out quickly bc the whole family loves it!), but I believe that per serving it...

    The Da Vinci Code

    I have nothing to add regarding the controversy, but I pictured Harrison Ford in this role as opposed to Tom Hanks. Though I'm not sure how that goofy hairstyle would have looked on him! Ha!

    For all you "older" college students....help me

    RE: For all you Donna...GO for it! I went back to school after a 10 yr break. I was 32 at the time and I can tell you that I was often one of the youngest people in the class! It was a Master's level of study,so it may be different if you pursue a bachelor's degree, but I honestly believe that...

    Update - 4-13-06

    Thanks for sharing & hope your recovery goes smoothly! Has this whole experience taught you patience or what? One question: you stated that your syndrome was caused by a specific injury but did your Dr. say (or have you found in your research) that it is common to get from chronic overuse...

    heart rate question

    I agree on the interval training,Carole! I only do 3-4 miles per run, so what I do is run the 1st mile at an easy pace, then do 1 min. intervals for the 2nd mile+ and then do last couple of miles at an easier pace. But, still what I perceive as an "easier" pace (11:30 min/mile), my heart rate is...
