Spinning bikes are a very popular and very effective way to loose weight and exercise. Spinning Bikes are very similar to regular exercise bikes, however, they are different in that spinning bicycles have a higher wheel and utilize more resistance when using them. Another feature that sets spinning bikes apart from regular exercise bikes is that often times users of the bikes will put in a tape or program and follow a routine while using said bike. This allows you to push yourself much harder and ride for longer while getting a much better exercise. Also, people the compete in bicycles races and other forms of biking often times will prefer using a spinner bike because of the extra workout. If you are looking for used spinning bikes, the best place to check is Ebay.com. You can find amazing deals as there a lot of used but still in excellent working condition.

I’ve been considering doing a lot of decorating with paper in our wedding in place of exotic flowers or glittery, glassy decorations. My fiance and I have an earthy feel to the colors and schemes we find relaxing and beautiful. I’d love to do some more investigating into using homemade papers as part of our decorations (greens, browns, ivory-colors).

I’ve thought of using paper parasols for the bridesmaids in place of bouquets. What are some other unique ideas we could use for the wedding? It’s not so much a theme as an earthy touch I’m trying to create for the atmosphere.

We’re also trying to do this on a small budget while being recycle-friendly. So overly expensive invitations and decorations are a nada for us. As are things that are very much non-recyclable (we’re willing to make some exceptions, such as if the product itself was recycled, etc.).
I love some of the ideas you guys have given, but not for the wedding. I really want *paper* ideas, not flowers, potted plants, and rocks. I like the idea of postcard RSVPs. I’ll look into doing that.

Michael, you raise a good point but our wedding will definitely not represent prom in any way due to decorations. No paper lanterns, no fake streamers, etc.

I want classy, homey touches. With paper.

The boat must float and hold 5 marbles. We can use most anything to make the boat, but it must be homemade. Am worried that if the marbles (added at school right before float time) are not stationary they may shift weight too much and capsize boat. Any suggestions? Thanks.

So two of my (female) friends are having a joint 17th birthday party, and I’m not sure what to get them. I want to make homemade gifts, but I don’t know what I would make…

Neither of them are especially girly, so that certainly rules out some things, but I need ideas!

(I thought maybe pressed flower stationary, but the process seems a little too involved)

I became disabled a few years ago and it’s giving me fits that I can’t just sit down on the ground to turkey hunt like I used to. I have a permit allowing me to hunt from a stationary vehicle but I’ve tried hunting from my truck and that sucks because of not much range plus what turkey in it’s right mind is gonna think there’s a hen in the front seat of my truck…lol….I thought about the camo netting thing to cover the truck but that turned out to be alot more work than it should be. Any ideas would sure be appreciated……but keep the smart ass answers to yourself please. It’s not like I can just up and lose this disability.
