Has anyone else tried the Bodygym (the one that Marie Osmond advertises on an infomercial)? Basically it's a bar with an elastic band thing that adjusts to a bunch of different exercises. I bought it for my shoulders and neck area to stretch out, after tensing up at the computer at work. It's surprisingly good for that.

Anyway, my dog HATES it. Haven't a clue why, but anytime I try to lift or stretch with it, he doesn't stop barking and pacing . . . must be a dog thing . . . Then again, I'm not the most coordinated person, and maybe he's trying to protect me from myself?

Would it surprise you my dh has the Tony Little one with the stronger bands and I'm the only one who ever uses it. It's not my favorite gadget but it's not horrible.

Miracles happen. The BBQ is over and my house is almost back in order. I'm extremely happy the boys not so much

 

[FutureCEO]

I have the perfect solution

Spoiler

I'll send my boys over

The better solution is not to get it at all.....but when $5 ice cream is half off - who can resist.

Me I have an ice cream maker

How much did the ingredients cost? Is it electric.. how much power was used. Did it need dry ice? How much was that? How much time was involved with cleanup and preparation? If it came to a lot less then $2.50 cents then you have my vote. Oh, and pay yourself minimum wage. Is the half priced ice cream starting to sound better?

@ajrwdwgirl , I know you got a nice jacket recently, but if you also wanted another one to rotate with (we gals need variety ), I notice on the Kohls web site that they have quite a few Columbia (the brand you like) jackets on sale through today. (The Columbus Day holiday might be bigger out here, and not sure if Kohls is running the same promotion out in your state; but if interested, maybe take a peek.) They had some nice colors in a wide range of sizes, from fleece to much heavier winter jackets. (And another random thought--a hint to hubby for Christmas, maybe?)

Thanks for the heads up about Kohls. I should be good on jackets now but maybe I'll see what they have on sale for winter boots. The Kohl's I went to only had winter boots for kids but not adults.

I don't have the device you were talking about, but whenever I do any yoga my dog hates it. She acts like how you described Jack acting. Dogs are weird.

You need to totally get your dd to recreate that shot! Oh, and one of her being a Disney princess of course.

DD has a good friend who is a professional photographer, so I’m sure that could be easily arranged (I thought the same thing, btw )!
She has already done an outdoor spring family photo shoot for us back shortly after DD and SonIL found out they were going to be parents...!!!

Why? Just why

Not Why, Who!

 

[StarWarsGirl]

Did you take too much or the wrong asthma medication High fever? Either way you need to see your doctor!

I don't know when I clicked like. I've been following the page for years. Maybe I'm just missing my childhood; I have about 20 Barbies and three Kens...and that's not including the Disney ones.

My dog doesn’t like when I use the rolling thingy for my abs.

So I stopped using it and got fat!

 

[donaldtoo]

So glad your dd is feeling good. She has a great attitude that she probably learned from her parents.

Thank you!!!
I like to think she (and our other two kiddos) got it from us...!!!
She has a love of life, and is a very caring and compassionate woman, but, is also a fighter when necessary...!!!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, I’m out for tonight...!
Sweet dreams and/or mornin’ to all...!!!
Laterrrrrrrrrrr...!!!!!!!

Your a good pet parent

For all those with a old "love" of a Cinderella in their past here you go....

So I'm a sucker, though I don't know why for great popcorn buckets. I have this one from three years ago.

And over the weekend I saw the Tokyo version recently released. Looks identical only save the plastic color. \

A slight alteration of the paint shot and color but the old seems to be new again.
Interesting. Cinderella returns....

It doesn't need dry ice and I never have to do any work to get it to work Having goodies without fear of an ER trip priceless

How did you know the bands were stronger with the Tony Little one? Do you also have the Bodygym and compared the two of them together? Just curious. I think the band with the Bodygym has plenty of resistance and if you need more, they tell you to wrap it a few times around the pole thing.

Well that explains it then. No big surprise that my dog loves to loaf around all day and sleep. Probably ticks him off when he thinks I'm trying to show him up, when I'm exercising.

I didn’t care for Barbies when I was a kid, so it only seems natural that my girls have an affinity for them. We have a truck load of them.
