  1. Check your local taxes. My escrow is nearly as much as my mortgage. I live in an area that is growing quickly, building schools, etc. Makes a HUGE difference. If I had a $280 escrow, I would feel so rich! :(

  2. Anyone know how to do it? Wife can't get her Nano to pick up the Dr.Laura show, and I'm too busy lately to help her much.

     

    She has iTunes and tried to get it from the apple site. Does she need to be "sync"ing her nano or something? I havent looked at the issue, but if anyone here is already doing this...lemme know!~

  3. Hrumph. Okay, so you are training for a marathon. That will always equal alot of weight loss.

     

    I'm on the treadmill 3-4 times a week and am always temped to run for 30 minutes because it is more fun. But alot of my research is saying that a brisk walk (adding an incline) and switching up the speeds are more effective at actual FAT loss.

  4. We saw the IAudios at Best Buy. Ended up getting her a white Nano.

     

    With PodCasts, iTunes, iAudiobooks, and upcoming iMovies; the iPod offers some things that she wanted that no other mp3 player offers. She wants audio books and free Dr. Laura in addition to her music, I guess.

     

    Apple really is going to own the handheld music/multimedia device market as it really gets kicked off here, Im afraid.

  5. Any good alternatives to the iPOD Nano that my wife is lusting after? She will use it for workouts and such. She would probably want to be able to put audio books on it too.

     

    Thoughts? Costs?? Methods of loading the mp3 player?? I am painfully ignorant on the subject. Just wanna know if we need to drop $200 to do this??

  6. I think they stopped putting Ephedrine in Hydroxycut, so it isnt as bad for you as it used to be.

     

    I can only speak to the original hydroxycut. It is basically a thermogenic stack (combo of important ingredients) of Caffine, Asprin and (at one point) ephedrine plus a couple other goodies.

     

    The purpose of it is to elevate your core body temperature for extended periods in order to help burn a few more calories. The original intended user of hydroxycut would have been a body builder trying to get "cut" before a performance. It was supposed to help shed those last few pounds. The ephedrine played a VERY important role in stimulating fat burning and worked in sync with the caffine.

     

    I would NOT recommend using hydroxycut or any thermogenic stack for extended periods if ephedrine is in the mix. And I dont happen to think that asprin and caffine being constantly present in your body is a good thing.

     

    However, if you want to check out the new Hydroxycut that is ephedrine free, maybe that could be a good (albeit expensive) supplement?

     

    btw, when checking your ingredients Ma Huang = Ephedrine.

     

     

    Also, check out "Monster" energy drinks, they are crammed with all kinds of herbal stimulants (incl caffine and L-carnitine which proponents claim aids in fat burning).

     

    But basically, if you wanna lose weight, do your aerobics 4 times a week and start eating well! ;)
