    Hair up or down?

    <<Bunbun, I thought for sure you wore your hair...in a bun...bun:P:P:P>> Hahahah!! It's not long enough! Bunbun is a more accurate description of the shape of my rear. }(

    Hair up or down?

    Lol! Love the cat story! my hair is just long enough for a ponytail--barely. it doesn't get caught when I use weights, though. I get a headache the minute I put it in a ponytail though, even if it's a loose ponytail. So I only put it up for light workouts. Working out hard with a headache from...

    So you think you can dance....

    I agree about Nigel. I find that when there's something about a dance that bothers me but that I can't quite figure out, he usually puts his finger right on it. I liked the Broadway Musical number this week. Dmitry is a great dancer but I somehow don't think he's as versatile as some of the...

    Anyone workout to manage their moods?

    Exercise helped me get through some really tough personal problems 5 years ago. I had a lot of anger over the situation that I was in, and exercise was the only thing that helped. These days I am in a career that I have come to basically hate, and the only thing that I look forward to every work...

    So you think you can dance....

    I love this show--I tape it and watch it while I'm on my treadmill. My BF laughs at me for watching it. :) Haven't watched last night's show, either--will watch it when I work out this morning. I loved the tango from last week (or was it the week before? I've lost track. Anyhow, that tango...

    Am I too perfectionistic?

    This is a really interesting thread that's actually bringing up a lot of issues for me. But first, a thought from my BF: If you're not used to moving furniture, it's really hard to remember that floors are easily scratched. BF has a lot of experience moving things, and as I was telling him...

    Back to work blahs

    Definitely!! Not only on Sunday nights, but anytime I have a little bit of time off and am enjoying myself. It's particularly bad for me during the summer--absolutely the last place I want to be in the summer is in an office, away from the sun and the outdoors. I find it really depressing to...

    Annoying Co-workers

    Wow, seems like there's one (or more) of these in every office. I like the idea of letting your boss be the bad guy on this one--that's what he's paid for. I have a coworker who has great headphones but refuses to use them and instead plays music on his computer. Plays it at a really low...

    Ponderisms......

    How did prehistoric people know which berries weren't poisonous? OR How many prehistoric people got sick on poisonous berries before someone figured out that you shouldn't eat them?

    Cultural differences--bathing

    I wasn't lumping all Europeans together. I was just wondering if there were cultural differences that I wasn't aware of in terms of bathing. And by cultural differences, I meant differences that vary from country to country.

    anybody here stop working out for a week?

    Only when I'm sick, which is probably nature's way of telling me I should actually be taking a planned week off. Also, my workouts have been pretty hit and miss the entire month of June because first I was sick and then I moved, and now I have a friend from overseas staying here for a week. I...

    AC: Love it or leave it?

    You have to wonder why they keep it so cold--such a huge waste of money, isn't it? In stores, it makes shoppers complain. At work, it's kind of counterproductive to be so cold that you fingers are numb.

    AC: Love it or leave it?

    Wow, Macsa--did you just get that thunderstorm blow through by you like we did here in NJ--sideways rain? Looked like we were in the middle of a carwash! Also, I have discovered a new reason that I may just keep the AC running this summer--when I open my windows lately, the mosquitos are...

    Cultural differences--bathing

    LOL!!!! My BF says that if he had any worries about me and our friend hitting it off a little too well, he knew he didn't have to worry after he got a whiff of him! A little bit of sweat smell on a guy can actually be sexy, but not to the point where you want to retch.

    AC: Love it or leave it?

    OK, that's really odd, Nancy!! :) I am absolutely compelled to get outdoors every single day. I don't care how hard it's raining or snowing, or what the wind chill is--I have to get outdoors. At work I go for a 15-30 minute walk at lunch every day no matter what (I don't care how damn busy it is...

    Cultural differences--bathing

    Thanks, he took a shower this morning, finally. We really encouraged the putting on a clean t-shirt thing--we told him we would do his laundry for him if he ran out of clean clothes!! I think that half the problem was wearing a dirty t-shirt, because that one t-shirt he had on was really ripe...

    Cultural differences--bathing

    My BF and I have a guest from France staying at our home. Good friend of ours and a sweet person, but let's just say that we are both unpleasantly surprised at how little he showers. I don't want to insult him--like I said, he's our friend and a really nice person. I did manage to tactfully...

    AC: Love it or leave it?

    Wow, I've never seen cats pant! We've been keeping it at 72 in our apartment lately, but only in the heat of the day. Even then, I wind up turning it off and on a lot. I'd prefer to keep the windows open, but when it's really humid and hot, there may not necessarily be a cross breeze, so then we...
