      Ed,

      Treadmills hurt my back, so I haven't used one in years. We have an eplyptical machine that is no impact and much much better on my back.

      What I really want to do is find a lap pool I can go to to walk back and forth in. It'll get my weight off my spine and still get me walking.

        both are bad.
        Ed, I know you are anti-drug (anti ANYTHING natural), PERIOD. Don't expect you know how everything affects everyone.

        Your beliefs - and your science - vary from what I've lived.

                It's a treadmill...no, it's a slip n' slide! The thing with the towel hamper was funny. =)

                I don't know that drugs had much to do with that video, though. That looked like pure unadulterated goofiness to me. Gives my drugs a bad name, lol.
