I hope you get the snake for your birthday. The colouring is lovely. Do you have long to wait for your birthday?Quote:

(Insert silly grinning smiley face) We're both really looking forward to seeing each other when I get back. His sister is in town from Portland, helping him pack and move. He said he'd like me to meet her next Friday before she goes back--yikes! OUTFIT?!? :p
The wedding was wonderful, reception so much fun, and the brunch today at her house was lovely. Mom and I hung out with the newly weds and her parents until 4 PM, when they left for the honeymoon. Mid-day I walked over and briefly explored the National Basilica Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. It's (mostly) all about Mary, my personal favorite. It's a gorgeous church. I only had about 20 min to poke around, but I'll go back another time. Met a friend of theirs' who is a nurse-practitioner, works in a clinic similar to mine. We huddled on the couch and traded stories, happy as pigs in mud. I'm going to go see her clinic tomorrow. Hope to lunch with my cousin, and get in a visit to the Phillips Collection, at the least, tomorrow as well.
OK, Mom's ready, so I'm off! Hang in there, KN. You're clearing your field to receive and give much love.
Did you read my post about the Umbrella Bird? I think you would really like them!!
kit i know if i play bartender with you i'll be hurting the next day!!!!!
KNot you won't cave. you have to many of us behind you to help you stay strong.
nanci cute little snake. do you have room in your house for yourself with all your family members?
lise glad to hear your having fun.
i'm sitting here watching the Ironman Coeur D'Alene and feeling like i'm really lazy. though i did run a bit, just to see how my leg is healing up. seems to be doing good, but have some weird spasms (happy knot) in it right now.
"weird spams"
I got 4 cans of weird spam in my cupboard. Need some more?:D
ha ha Knot! your so funny! so i can't spell for the life of me. :p gald that even though you have a hangover you didn't lose humor.
It pays to always read the 'whole thing' first. I'm reading through Chica's post, and I see
and I go "Buh? Do weird spasms mean happy knots? Is this a new kind of lingo I don't know yet? What?"Quote:
weird spasms (happy knot)
And then I see the explanation later. It's not the spelling, it's the punctuation this time. ;) (insert grammar facist of choice here!)
CWR, if we play bartender, we'll both be wanting to die, but it'll be a fun evening. Let's do that ride *before* that, because I'm not so sure the bike will feel good after all that. :D
...I thought all spams were weird? oh man, I am *so* craving spam sushi right now.
I love snakes as pets (not ones I stumble across in the "wild") I just can never have one for 2 reasons. 1. My DH hates snakes and 2. I can't feed em live food. Even the frozen kind you can buy, I can't feed to the snake cuz I think about the poor lil mouse whose life was cut short so it could become just another notch on the food chain.
I like reptiles. I would love to have a cameleon but its been veto'ed. I did get my tat finally tho. I wanted a lizard but since I promised I wouldn't get a lizard tat, I got a dragon. Kinda the same thing, right? Tho he still hates it.
Wanna hear something funny? When I prepare wings to grill, I can't eat them. I get caught up in thinking about the lil chickies as I "prune" their wings for grilling, and I get to where the thought of eating them repulses me. That makes my DH happy cuz he loves my hot wings.
Sorry - Just thought I'd share some of my quirky idiosyncrasies......
Where's the vomiting smiley?Quote:

I have a hard time keeping anything as a pet that I've eaten before. All birds look about the same when waxed/feathered, snakes look about the same when skinned, fish, same, turtles and frogs, same rats look like squirrels, I'm sure, but I try not to think about/mention it around DGF. She's so sensitive... :rolleyes:
*pulls up her collar a little- her red neck is showing...* :eek: :rolleyes: ;)
Spam sushi is yummy. But we already discussed this. Sorry, Kit, we just can't convert them...
(leaves more for us!)
I kinda like how the shoyu tastes with it, but I can't bring myself to try adding the flavor of wasabi and/or pickled ginger. Knot... we might be in the minority, you know...
we might be...
weird.
Mmmmmm, Spam! http://QB.smugmug.com/photos/102799722-Ti.gifQuote:

(c'mon, do we really need a warm place to live and food to eat? Can't we just have more bike stuff?)
I was wandering through my iPhoto, and found that pic i took of my no-saddlebags. Ha! Those jeans are now too big for me, and I don't wear them!
Don't worry, I'm not gonna take a pic of me in bike shorts and post it. (though the side view is quite nice, if I do say so myself...)
You. Are. EVIL! There was no resistance! NONE! :mad: :pQuote:

And for those of you who have yet to fall in love with the beautiful PR: http://www.peterreid.com/fotos.htm
You mean the pic where everyone said "No saddlebags? Huh? All we notice are your ABS, woman!"
congrats!
Too bad heat's so expensive. I'd rather have bike stuff, too. :rolleyes:
Work's so quiet tonight I'm hitting 'refresh' every couple of minutes just to see if something new happened on the boards. Ugh. Gonna be a long, long night.
KN, I hope you keep a journal or even just print out these posts and paste them in a journal. I know I suffered terribly from magical thinking about "making it right" with my ex. You've been miserable, we've all seen that. You can have joy, peace, love, support, sex, the whole nine yards. But you've got to make space in your life for it. And your (new) ex has shown that she cannot be that person. Stay strong, come talk to us for a solid dose of reality, and ride Flossie a lot. (((KN))) L.Quote:

I don't have any abs, that was a shadow. Really.Quote:

That shadow-y non-ab was just bait for the unwary... moooohheheh;)
KnottedYet "(oh, yeah, I'm cool... I posted my butt on the internet!! Right on, dude!!!)"
There goes the Congressional campaign, wait till the Republicans get a hold of that. :cool:
Um... I'm pretty sure those are abs. Me an' my reading glasses say so. And if you're really stuck on saying it's just a shadow, then the shadow must have been created by your well-defined obliques. :rolleyes: If we want to recap this discussion, it's on page 135. Remember. I'm the one who was (for however long) working on a semi-coherant table of contents for this mess of a drift! :eek:
I think our republican party would be highly impressed with the butt on the internet thing, though. Frat boys! Ugh!
yep, they're abs, reprised here. And Kit, how do you keep track of the pages!!
DAMMIT, Trek!!! How will I get into Congress now? Oh, my political aspirations are DONE FOR!
(but the bait theory survives....;) )
Those aren't abs, they're just fat and shadow. But it is a rather nice looking picture, isn't it? (and those jeans are too big now, whoo-hooo!)
KnottedYet "DAMMIT, Trek!!! How will I get into Congress now? Oh, my political aspirations are DONE FOR!"
Well, it was either this or the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders would have talked anyway, you could only keep that weekend under wraps for so long.:cool:
I cheated. I managed to still have the same work notebook I was using to mark points of interest (There's something for everyone!):
p96- Don't poop on the floor.
p. 102- Dealing with lousy people
105 Nullum vinum flaccidum
107 Armadillo!
110 Australian Hotties
116- Tater- All Men are Animals
118- PR
135- Knot's azs
138 Brain Bucket Helmets/controversy therein/
139 Brooks B18 Downing St. ad/naked guys, hairy butts
141 Nopale salad
...and the next page got ripped out.
I think I covered most of the important stuff from that 50 pages...
Oh, and I scribbled in a recipe for chicken soup with ginger and shoyu in it. Anyone willing to fess up to that? It was good.
I wondered if anybody would notice that! :p Let's see, my first sig line was about running like a dachshund (see avatar). Then one day I was thinking how much I feel like a superhero when I'm on my bike. But, hey, I'm a triathlete. So ya gotta have the swim in there. But I swim so reluctantly and haphazardly...sort of like...a three legged cat! And there you have it!Quote:

Kitsune, what are we at TD going to do when you get a job that occupies more than 1% of your brain power? I am so impressed that you've been indexing TD. Somebody needed to do it! Thanks! :D
Hm, I was thinking a three-legged cat would be a great swimmer!! Or at least fast...
Maybe fast cuz it'd want to get out of the water so badly...wish that made me swim faster! I figured that with only three legs, the cat might swim, oh, say, a bit off course now and then? Sort of like a certain 46 year old, 5' 8" tall, blonde triathlete from the midwest? I'm just lucky I don't swim in circles. :rolleyes:Quote:

Ms. Right's going to turn toward you one day, and you're going to recognize each other. Maybe a fair amount of slogging through Ms. Wrongs before you get to her...or maybe not. But keep going, true to yourself, and you'll know her when she smiles at you. :DQuote:

Don't you have to have a rebound relationship 1st? :::: surfs off to find thesbian manual :::::
think that was in there, chapter 5....ah hah! There's an exemption clause on page 2003!
My advice is to look back on this last relationship as a guide. Just think of it as this last Miz Wrong experience will help you to recognize/appreciate the Miz Right when you find her. And you will find her, dear. It happens all the time. ;) Just cherish her when you've got her. (you never know how much time you may have with them) And don't let allow anyone make you feel the way the last one did. You deserve so much more in life. :) :)
Take care!
Cindy
Knot- Those are abs. :D You looked fine in those jeans and now they are way too big, Wow and congrats.
Ditto to what Xrayted and the rest had to say about finding Miz Right.
Bah. Went to the doc this morning after almost talking myself out of it ("Aw, it's getting better, isn't it? No big deal. They'll think I'm silly for coming in just for a bruised toe."). They took an X-ray and you can clearly see several spiral fractures in the toe. But the joint is OK and it's not displaced. So I get to wear a walking boot for 3-4 weeks. Of course, my first question was, "THAT DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T RIDE FOR 3-4 WEEKS, RIGHT???" And the nice thing about this office is all the docs are young-ish jocks, so they totally understand. And no, cycling, as soon as the acute inflammation is better enough so clipping in isn't really painful, is just fine. Maybe by Friday...
My theory is that bad stuff happens in clumps. Given the last couple of months, I expect that pretty soon I'll have a run of really good luck again...I truly believe this.
So I'm sitting in the basement at the computer while the construction crew is nail-gunning, sawing, and hammering over my head. My sister thought I should put my bike helmet on, since she knows someone who got a nail inadvertently in the head and it acted as an occasional antenna. On the other hand, that COULD serve as extra and unusual entertainment, depending of course on whether I like the music/messages coming into my head through the nail antenna..."Aliens communicate with Seattle woman through nail in head." Yeeha!
I knew it was fractured!!
Salsa- I think for November SS the theme should be snakes- what do you think??
I'm trying to think of something I could sell...
Salsa,
I am sorry to hear your toe is fractured. :( At least you will be able to ride when the swelling does down.
Hmmm, nail in the head...probably not, although you could cut down on your cable bill. ;)
I think many on TD are due for some good fortune to come around, the sooner the better. :)
Hah! I LOVE that. Our cable bill IS pretty big. Maybe we could get a wireless network going through that nail, too.Quote:

No WAY Salsa! Bummer!
Well, at least you know what's up with it and you can maybe ride. So it's not a toe-tal loss. (Sorry. :cool: )
