Hi Shel, Here's a weird question for you about your swimming pool. Is the water cold, cool, warm or hot? I ask because about 3 or 4 years ago, research was done that proved that the colder the swimming water was, more calories were consumed afterwards. It has also been theorized (but...

:giggle: I wish there was, and I owned the patent to it. I'd be even richer than Bill Gates. It's all about a long-term commitment to exercising, resting and eating correctly. :whip: There are no miracle pills, diets or exercising devices that will transform a body overnight. If you...

You are supposed to always have a crate available for a CCI dog. You will get one with your dog if you and your dog graduate from CCI. It's included in the minor fees associated with getting your dog, and you can buy more at an excellent price if you want to have more than one available...

Ding, ding! We have a winner! Yes, it's an Opel GT. Since you correctly guessed what the blue car was, and ride tasteful bikes, I'm betting you can easily guess what the first bike is just by looking at the photo and knowing that it's 1300ccs. Yeah, it's a 99 Hayabusa. I own three of...

While we're talking about horsepower and the WRX... Heres a shocker for those "not-in-the-know" The regular WRX only puts out a true 160-ish HP at the wheels instead of 227 HP. :pissed: It's one of my pet peeves - companies inflating their HP numbers and misleading customers by neglecting...

Well.... Every night when I read before going to sleep, I do let her jump up on the bed. However, when it's time for the lights to go out, I tell her to get off the bed. I wouldn't want her to develop any expectations of getting to sleep on my bed every night. In the future, if I get...

*sniffs sadly* I must not beautiful because you're still talking to me last I checked :tears: :giggle: Maybe if I don't get anything from you tomorrow... :D -Aquaman

Seeing how I'm newly single... My pet peeve now is not having a warm body to cuddle up to. :dunno: But it's all good now that I picked up an electric blanket... :D Well, it's not the same but... -Aquaman

Starrygaze, My hat comes off to you for taking such a bold move - posting a before picture on a public forum before you even know what you will look like down the road. That is very brave and takes some real balls. :h5: I am a fitness nut, and have CSET certification in California for...

There are hundreds of books, articles and comments out there with what you are looking for. Don't reinvent the wheel. Do some research. -Aquaman.

It is indeed tax deductible, but I never bothered to get into that as it's my understanding that it's not fully deductible. Only a small percentage of it is, and only if you spend enough money on it. Besides our country's broke but that's for an entirely different thread. -Aquaman

SaSSy, I think the site has potential, but only if there are active pages/forums there. I checked a week ago, and then again today but don't see any updates/changes. It seems like everything is still "Coming Soon!!" I have not run into many fitness oriented people in the deaf community...

VamPyroX asks a very good question, and Sequoias brings up a valid point of view. While I cannot answer for Woofy, I'll answer for myself. I dislike, and do not wear hearing aids. They do not work well for myself. I also wouldn't wear them to bed. So why don't I just get a flashing...

New avatar eh, Woofy? :giggle: I teach down in San Diego county. Thanks for the welcomes. -Aquaman

About $200, give or take. It was a 2-year wait for me to get to the top of the list for a dog from CCI. They have considerably expanded the Hearing Dog Program now and the wait is now probably under a year. She's a LGX. She came with a name from CCI like they all do. Names are generally...

According to the class I attended there, the cost "per dog" comes out to almost $50,000. Meaning, that'd be the cost to replace the dog with 1 on 1 raising and training strictly for replacement purposes. I then heard another figure - the actual out of pocket cost is $17,000 for CCI - since...

I walk to the beach from home to do this: Otherwise my name wouldn't be aquaman. :D -Aquaman

Woofy, I teach down in San Diego county. Thanks everybody else for the warm welcomes. :D -Aquaman

P.S. I've seen you somewhere before, Woofy. Can't remember when/where though. I used to work at DCARA up in northern California if that helps ring any bells for you. -Aquaman

I did my research a few years ago, went with CCI and have never regretted it. CCI = Professional working dogs. SPCA = Adopted pet dogs that help out. No disrespect to those who got their hearing dogs from the SPCA, but the majority that I have seen were no more than pets that could legally...
