Lise - poor J headboard - but that is just so cute that you're bringing him cookies!! All together now: "AAAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!"
Salsa - I am totally in on the shelter. If we wait 14 or so years, we can even use the PP as our vet!! (I've got my fingers crossed on that one, trying to guide her there somewhat gently because I can just see it's what she'd want. No I'm not an overbearing, calculating mom! :rolleyes: Anyway, SK, maybe you can keep an eye on her while she's in school because I think she wants to go to Davis. They do have a great vet school.)

Bill S. Preston, Esq.

A guitar-playing guru named Rufus (Carlin) arrives from a future San Dimas to help them pass a vital history test, because their garage band ("Wyld Stallyns", pronounced "Wild Stallions") holds the key to world peace and ultimate truth. However, they will not achieve this destiny if the duo fail the exam and Ted's authoritarian father carries out his threat to ship him to Oats Military Academy in Alaska. Rufus lends them a time machine disguised as a phone booth, which they use to meet—and "collect"—various historical figures: Napoleon Bonaparte, Socrates (mistakenly pronounced "So-crates", and given the surname "Johnson"), Billy the Kid ("Mr. The Kid"), Sigmund Freud ("frood"), Beethoven ("Dave Beeth oven"), Genghis Khan (Bob Gangus Khan), Joan of Arc ("Miss of Arc", carried on in Clone High), and Abraham Lincoln, to help them with their vital history presentation.
The phone booth is in front of a Circle K( a convenience store chain(think 7-11). I always think of the movie. it's a cure movie and it's also a great ride. you go up into the Angeles National Forest, climbing besides a reservoir. You downhill a Little bit, and reach the end of the road a Ranger station. I usually take a break ( and occasionally ogle the Rangers :p ) before heading back. Great Day!
From the movie
Ted: Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.
I am getting the biggest kick out of the "No Stank You" anti-smoking ads on tv!
Anybody else seen 'em? SKnot likes them, too.
Holy crow you ladies like to write!! Well, all I gotta say is>>>
I'm sorry to those who are having a bad time right now. My heart goes out to you. I'm happy for those of you who are having a good time now. For those who are in need of a deep meaningful relationship, may you find "the one". For those of you who just need laid, I hope ya get some. For those of you who can't get laid, go on ahead and have some chocolate!
Happy and safe riding ladies. (There, I think I got everyone. :D )
-X.
Wow, X-Rayted, well done. =)
I'm back to proliferating all over TD because my work week started again. :( Weekend's never long enough!
To welcome me back, we had a chem spill this afternoon. Marvelous. At least the guys know what they're doing. :D
Watch out, ladies, you fluff Knot's ego much more, she won't be able to fit her head in her helmet anymore! ;) But to add to it, (mom never told me not to throw gas on flames...) she's got a really, quite graceful neck/shoulder line. Most worthy of a dedicated sketch artist or somesuch, and don't even start me on her personality! ;)
Group hug everyone! Now lets eat our carob-chip whole, raw cookies sit sukhasana and sing Kumbaya :D And if anyone feels the love, pass it this way, man! ;)
I want a deep meaningful relationship, to get laid, AND chocolate!Quote:

HA! AH! HAHAHAHAHA*snerk* HA*cough*HA!! Don't we all?! :p :D Can I say I want to have a deep, meaningful relationship with someone covered in chocolate? Can I say that?Quote:

Shucks.:o I shoulda said "If you won't say anything, I won't." ;) Besides, to say I "photoshopped" it greatly overstates the little I did. All the fundamentals are just there, I just tweaked the size and lighting, really. :oQuote:

Start 'em young and interested...
Nope, nope. I agree with Kit and all the rest. Graceful line there. Now get out there and find someone who will understand how to appreciate it up close and personal. Unleash your true redhead, woman!;)
uh-huh. And what is that true red-headed nature, Xrayted? A certain affinity for rich beers and richer women? Redheads! Ugh. Difficult! Freakin'[strike]hot[/strike] nothin' but trouble. Hmph. Redheads.
*dons her bandanna and whistles innocently* ;) :D
Ah, but the good ones are worth it! :D
You guys should listen to Podcasts. You get all the NPR you want, _plus_ I just heard an interview with Jessie.
I laid a trap for my Patio Toad last night, and he is now in my possession. He's bunking down with Koko and Buttercup for now- they have no interest in having him for dinner.
Then, an hour into sleep, a friend called and said he'd caught a toad and what did I want him to do with it? I'll be picking up Number Two after the Century.
If Koko and Buttercup want to stay in their burrows all day, at least _someone_ will be out!
Choco shed, came out starving last night, ate _two_ servings of dinner, and then was annoyed that I made him go back to his viv. (They can't be handled for 48 hours after eating or they may regurgitate, which is very serious.)
I _tried_ to get Addy to eat- what a fiasco. All I had was a microscopic frog that a doc at work caught. I let it hop around the feeding container, then the _plan_ was to put Addy in, she would be hungry for the frog, and I would just switch her onto the thawed mouse pink when she had her "feeding response" going. Well, first of all, every time the frog hopped frantically past- she'd recoil in terror and spread her hood and hiss. If it would actually touch her she'd flinch like she'd been hit with acid. Second, it's impossible to hold a mouse in a tweezers. I need the proper equipment. I finally put Froggy back in his home and left her with no hope that she'd eat. She didn't. I'm going to try toad scenting in a couple days. I don't think she's nearly settled enough.
Looks like great weather for the Century- starting out at 70F, high of 82F, 20% chance of rain, 70% cloud cover, and a lovely 98% humidity, dropping to 50%. I'm starting an hour before the mass start- that way I get to see everyone pass me.

Nanci, I'm with everybody. You're an amazing rider in a short time.
I've had a lousy night. Two c-sections, two vaginal births, one lady ended up needing a hysterectomy! All babies are OK, all moms are stable. That's the goal, after all. So why in The Heck am I on TD at this hour? Decompressing? Going to nap now before doing paper work.
If you must respond to him, tell him to move on and have a nice life.Quote:

Kitsune06 "But to add to it, (mom never told me not to throw gas on flames...) she's got a really, quite graceful neck/shoulder line. Most worthy of a dedicated sketch artist or somesuch..."
Yeah, but those sketch artists, you know how starving artists are, artists, musicians...they're only good covered in chocolate.
Kit, where do I get GIMP? Do I download it or go to my FLMS (friendly local Mac store)?
I can GIMP real good when my hip and shoulder hurt...
"healer, heal thyself"
I don't exercise or stretch. Too much work.:p
Knot-the-Hippocratic-hypocrite
www.gimp.org. :D It's like Open Office- free and you can download the source code to build your own project if you're so inclined.
having a good morning... well... woke up about a minute or two ago... gonna do mah yoga stuff (thanks, Chick, for making me even MORE of a *** **** hippy!)
then off to harrass the missus. ...and be told to go away and make coffee. ...then to return and harrass the missus... and be told to go away, she's sleeping... then to return with a rat and put it on her pillow.... then missus gets up. :D
I think I'm in a rut... yay for the new yoga. :rolleyes:
Try putting one of Trek's Dove chocolates on the pillow instead. Might get better results than a rat. Just a thought...
You underestimate how much she loves these rats... :rolleyes:
But the consequences of chocolate not working are that it melts and soaks into the pillow. The consequences of a rat not working? Do they pee on pillows?Quote:

Concequences are more likely that she'll want to go downstairs for coffee etc instead of tarrying upstairs awhile, but I can handle that. :rolleyes:
fish - glad to hear that fishjr is doing better and your getting settled in just fine.
mailotpois - i grabbed some of the photos off our shared drive at work. i have access to a ton of photos that people have taken over the years around here. some of them are quite funny. you should see some of them from when we go eider banding. blackmail central!
kit - no need to thank me. i'm just helping the hippies along on their natural path. sometimes certain ones - no names coughkitcough - need a push now and again so they don't forgit. :rolleyes: though its helping though, so you have nothing to complain about.
ah yes... sitting here at my other job as a postie and no mail to put up. the mail plane is about 3 hours late and they haven't brough it over yet. oh great... angry townies... hope they don't bring the pitchforks again.
Is it worng to begin stalking my mail carrier for my SS package? :rolleyes: I know it is coming and I want it. I swear he keeps my packages for days on end. :rolleyes:Quote:

Maybe he takes time to open them to see what's in. In that case, he probably wore your bra from Knotted before you did. :DQuote:

(I started one hour early at 7:30, and am very glad I missed an hour of broiling sun)
So how did it go? I thought a lot more people would catch up to me, but I never saw the A riders till right before 50 miles, and then others just trickled by.
Kathy, that girl in the BMB jersey rode it in 4:30!! I saw her at Watermelon Park- some guy she was with says to her- pointing at my bike- "Look, you could get a rack like that for your bike," and she says, just dripping with disgust, "Yeah, right." She's from Miami and a friend of Barb's, who is going to race RAAM next year.
Barb caught me at about 70 miles. I was really having trouble staying awake, right after Rob drove past, so I stopped at this little store. (The owner was mad- she said some guy from GCC had stopped by a month ago and told her that her store would be a designated stop, so she'd bought $1000 worth of extra stuff, and no one was stopping...Anyway, I wanted a Coke Blak or something, but I had an Amp, guzzled it down. Then my stomach felt like crap. (But at least I wasn't falling asleep!) So Barb and some girl caught me at about 65 or 70, and I tried to hang with them, and made it till past the rest stop in Worthington Springs- didn't stop. My stomach was upset. They just gradually left me.
At Hague, I got a Coke for my waterbottle and a sweet tea, and ate some peanuts. After TWO bathroom stops there, (the bad kind, the second time) I felt pretty good again. My total time was 6:35 riding, 7:15 total. So an hour less riding than last year, and 20 minutes less of stops.
The weather wasn't like I thought it was going to be...
**************
Blech, then I came home and took a shower and went to bed, where two people managed to call in an hour.
Fish, I'm so happy FJ is settled in, and Roux is doing well.
Lise, that guy's totally checking availability.
Knot- now that you're single, I think you should call Jessie. You and Lise could double date (well, if J doesn't mind) with her and Peter. Seriously, I don't have any insight, other than the usual, but I think of you often and hope things are going better.
BMO3, we don't have cable, so I have to wait till the DVD comes out! Wow, someone probalby won by now! Or do you mean you're watching live feed? Doh!!
IM Florida in two weeks. That whole trip is a financial fiasco- I can't even go into it, but rather than staying home and pouting while BF slept on someone's floor, I found a hotel for $44/night that even takes pets. A mile from HQ.
Gotta take the torts out to graze.
Number Two (think of Dr. Evil's guy, not the other meaning!) is picked up and settled in. I don't know what to call Number One yet. But I had this idea of if I have to keep them over the winter, I can just feed them the same way I do the snakes, in a container with crickets or nightcrawlers or whatever.
Not sure if I'm going to let Fagalo hibernate out in the yard or bring him in. He is VERY heavy- would be fine to hibernate. And the bathtub wouldn't be tied up for months.

OMG, it's a sign! I was listening to a podcast interview of Jessie, and she said, on the bus to Escape From Alcatraz, PR peed in his wetsuit and it got on her!
Bikingmomof3 "At least I have the Kona Ironman to watch. :)"
where? vs has some body-builder-strongest man contest. Where's the "bleah" smiley?
A sign of what?!? :eek: Good Lord. I'm sure she misspoke. Sure of it. :rolleyes:Quote:

I'm watching the live feed of Kona--Natascha Badman just started the run. Her ability to smile the whole time is dumbfounding to me. I'd love to see her win her 7th Kona championship. I love these guys.
Nanci, who are #1 & 2? Beasts, no doubt, of the herp variety.
Mimitabby--*I* only delivered one baby last night. The midwife on before me delivered one, and that lady ended up having a very rare complication of internal bleeding, ended up needing a hysterectomy and blood transfusion. Scary. Fortunately, it was her 2nd baby, and she's mid-30s, not planning any more babes. My other two ladies needed to be delivered by c-section. I don't do surgery, but was with them the whole time. The first lady pushed for 3.5 hours before we finally called it, at 4 AM. So I was up, working with her, trying, trying, trying. The other lady was sectioned at 5:30AM. I have delivered six babies in 12 hours; I think that's my personal record. How? Caffeine. :p The killer is the paperwork, no joke. I have run from one room to the other, pulling off my gloves as I go, to catch one baby after another. The nurses and the docs back me up, we work well as a team.
Um... yeah. Guys are fine unless they're the body building types with veins running under skin that looks like it's as thin as cellophane... flexing these inhuman looking muscles... :eek:
Gimme one of those sleek, trim triathletes any day. :p Either, both, heck, I'm not *that* picky!
