  • Choose Flying Lufthansa Over United to Germany
    Friday, July 31, 2009 - 10:48
    On my international trip two weeks ago, I flew on Lufthansa from Chicago to Dusseldorf and United from Frankfurt to Washington D.C.--each way in coach as our business travel budget does not support first or business class premiums. The Lufthansa flight was far superior: 1) More Leg Room - every...

  • Would you lose weight for 60 bucks? How about $100?
    Wednesday, July 22, 2009 - 21:17
    Maybe the question should be what would you do for $60? Not much. Hmmm, tie my shoes, get out of bed, be nice, do the laundry -- basically what I normally do and just maybe a little more.

  • Do you ride a stationary bike when you exercise?
    Saturday, July 4, 2009 - 14:12
    I ride an upright stationary bike often. I can read and it's a nice way to, somewhat, sit still and focus for 30 minutes. I don't think I'd ever make it through the newspaper without my cycle. And when I travel, I also like to ride. And it completely annoys me that at most hotel fitness centers...

  • Kaidangku - Chinese Split Pants for Kids
    Monday, June 22, 2009 - 09:50
    Traveling the world is an enlightening experience--sometimes in a good way, sometimes not so good, and sometimes just bizarre. Kaidangku, aka "open crotch pants", certainly fit into the bizarre category when viewed through my Western American lens.

  • United Airlines Bike Policy

    Thursday, June 4, 2009 - 21:28
    We think the airlines' bike carrying fees are egregious. $100 to $200 tariffs to bring your bike along on a trip are insane, not to mention discouraging to a healthy lifestyle. So, although we're not recommending the following and cannot guarantee that the "mistake" is foolproof, several people...

  • Do Not Sign a Doctor Arbitration Agreement!
    Wednesday, June 3, 2009 - 11:38
    I visited a new doctor's office today, so of course I had to fill out all of the paperwork: Personal information, medical history, insurance information -- the standard stuff. Included in the papers on the clipboard was a form that I haven't been asked to sign by other doctors...a "Physician-...

  • Trader Joes Soy Crisps Have Changed. More Calories, Less Iron and Calcium

    Saturday, May 30, 2009 - 14:36
    August 2009 Editor's Update: Trader Joe's has discontinued the Soy Crisps. Read more here. Soy Crisps are one of my favorite healthy snack foods. Sort of like a chip, but with an impressive dose of protein...about 7-8 grams/serving. I love the crunch and taste--which for the BBQ flavor means a...

  • Do you drink soda or any other sugary drink
    Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 14:31
    What if the cost of your favorite sugary treat went up by a few cents? Would this alter your buying habits? I read last week that one strategy being considered to fund Obama's health care expansion is to tax soda and other sweetened drinks. As reported in the Wall Street Journal, a 3 cent hike/...

  • Change of seasons for active folk
    Tuesday, April 21, 2009 - 14:54
    We've had a hot spell here is SoCal and we capitalized on it. For our almost 3-year old, warmer weather means outdoor water fun. And that is what we delivered, courtesy of the Hyatt! Warm weather just makes working out easier!
