    Talk to me about NW Arkansas

    in The Chat Board

    Posted

    I think NW Arkansas is wonderful! I lived there for about 5 years and live about an hour south now. Crystal Bridges is a gem! Walmart and the U of A influence almost everyone's life one way or another. Bentonville and Rogers is more conservative, Fayetteville more liberal. Imo, Fayetteville has more character though. But the Bentonville square feels like Mayberry. I honestly don't think there are any parts that are unsafe - maybe small pockets here and there in Springdale and/or Fayetteville. The Fayetteville library is one of the best I've ever seen. Oh, and the Fayetteville farmers market is wonderful!!!

     

    Feel free to PM me with any questions.

    Little Rock AR - Anyone know the area?

    Well, I would recommend Maumelle, West Little Rock off 430 or out by the airport. Of course, it may depend if you are coming from the east or west. Maumelle is just west of Little Rock. Other people(who like LR) 😉 may have better recommendations. If it was my family we would stay in West Little Rock - more options for hotels and restaurants.

    Serial, season 2

    I'm listening. I don't think Sarah K wanted Season 2 to be as popular. I think she feels it got out of hand last season so she is trying to be ahead of the game this time.

     

    Also, this is strictly my theory and I am probably wrong, but I wonder if she is going to expose something about the military. Something big.

    ~What do you think?~

     

    I was tempted to respond to this thread, but last time I posted in a "what do you think" thread, I got accused of over analyzing the situation. :)

     

    ~Making our basement nice~

     

    I'd need the OP's address in order to accomplish this.

    At first glance, I thought it said, "Making our basmati rice."

    Exercise DVDs?

    in The Chat Board

    I really like the older Firm videos - really old - early 90's - not the infomercial versions from the late 90's and 00's. Hard to find but you can still find them. I have them on VHS and converted to DVD. (Yes! I just went to Amazon and my favorite was there but very pricey for what it is. They are called Firm "Classic".) There was also a spin-off called Fit Prime that was ok. There are videos now from one of the former instructors Tracy Long. I also like Cathe Friederick but she is tough! There was a catalog of exercise videos that was fantastic for introducing and selling all the new videos. Unfortunately, they went out of business. I don't know of another alternative. My body will not budge unless I work out for at least an hour, with weights, so the videos I'm recommending are probably longer and a bit tougher than beginner. But the body adapts quickly, you won't be a beginner for long.

     

    Note - I'm old, apparently. The idea that there might be workouts online never occurred to me! PP might be on to something because free is good!

    I'm a runner now and prefer to exercise outdoors, but I agree about The Firm videos. Best home workouts I have ever done!
