Which Mode Do You Choose?
I have been watching people at the gym and doing this I have realized that a lot of people simply hop on a piece of cardio equipment and press "quick start" and go. I am guessing this is because they don't want to mess with all the other functions. So I am curious which mode you usually choose...

Vintage Geek: Original Macintosh User Manual
There are very few things geekier than user manuals: They house loads of secrets, tips and tricks that techie freaks like myself pride ourselves on knowing.

Child Owner's Manual: Remember, There's No Return Policy
The standing joke about wishing kids came with a manual is funny when you're on the outside, but once you have children the notion is all too real.

Happy Manual Typewriter Day!

Of course some enjoy the thrill of feeling each other out the old-fashioned way, but do tell, if your new crush came with an instruction manual, do you think it would save you a lot of time and aggravation in the getting-to-know-you stage, or do you feel that there's no such thing as the "right way" when it comes to matters of the heart?

Since it's getting chilly out, walking or running outside may seem less and less appealing. You can buy an expensive motorized treadmill or spend lots of money on a gym membership, but if you want a cheaper or greener option, a manual treadmill may be just the thing you're looking for.
These treadmills have no motor and use no electricity.
Fab Read: The Bombshell Manual of Style
I was buying a birthday card at Papyrus recently when a pair of slim pink legs caught my eye. I had to investigate. The Bombshell Manual of Style by Laren Stover ($13) is a lighthearted read for any gal who is a bombshell or wants to become one.

Fit Tip: Get Rid of the Remote
Somehow I feel like you guys are not going to love this tip, but I am going to throw it out there anyway.
Don't use your remote control [gasp]. That's right, get up and manually change the channels on your TV.
