What a beautiful bike that is! The only thing that strikes me as odd is how the top tube goes UP instead of down or straight. ouch?Quote:

chickwhorips "ok its official. you can't sleep or take your eyes of TD when knot is back on. sheesh! i hate when i miss the good stuff, and i always miss the good stuff. is there a pm list of things that knot says that she deletes? if so can i get on that mailing list?"
bwah hah hah, send your Visa or MC number to.... :p
That, and MGM is a much smaller arena. So even though we could only afford the cheap seats, we had a great view. And it's Las Vegas.......:cool:Quote:

For those of you sick, I do hope you feel better soon. I have a sympathetic sinus headache.
CWR-safe travels.

I do the same thing. When people change their avatars it throws me off. :pQuote:

Salsa, does that mean you think I look like a well hung team Polska hunk:eek:
I'm gonna have to rethink my avatar.......:D
**chuckling*** can't wait to hear Kit, Trek and X's reply to this one:p
wonder why i'm avatar-less?
Reminds of a guy I used to work with. He would post a picture Of our governor as his phot on dating sites.... Larry was not Arnold by any strech of the imagination, or armstrong:rolleyes:
You mean that's NOT you?? Dang...Quote:

I'm of good German/Swedish/Danish/Scottish stock. Big feet, big b00bs. The wind does not knock me over.Quote:

Back to it! Feel better kelowana girl and B3. And anyone else I missed! L.
I had to go back over more than a 100 pages of TD to see if my pic was still there. We are a prolific group.Quote:

i'm at the airport, my flight is delayed an hour or so.... key words "or so". time to spare fly by air! good thing for laptops, free internet and TE!
Bikingmomof3 "I would like to live in an ethnically diverse area. sigh."
Then you'd love it here. With the Bay Area it's not just the diversity which I love but....everyone comes here and brings their food and it all grows here.
Farmer markets filled with Thai herbs and Cambodian melons and Japanese pickles and ..... sure it's crazy busy in the city but I can get to the country where this stuff all grows to eat it or ride near the farms in very short time. If you listen quietly you can hear the housing closing in on the farms but they are still there, thriving and beautiful.
I don't look like my pix at least I'm not green most days. I can personally attest that I've now seen Knots bike and Flossie looks just like that :)
I'm at work too, so there's no way i'm going to scroll back 100 pages. a link i will follow though.Quote:

hey trek what is my dove chocolate fortune of the day? i need one.
DAR - your avitar does offer some credence to a certain masculinity altho I am thinking its probably not fitting for YOU specifically.... perhaps inspiration for Operation Toad?
MIMI - the new bianchi's geometry is described as: "stable geometry and more comfortable position in the saddle during long rides thanks to the BAT technology (Bianchi Active Technology) which, decreases the vertical stiffness with no side effect on the horizontal one".
So - now we know ;)
CWR - Airports... Nuff said. I feel for you girl.
Dar,
Your avatar looks like a bunch of upside down Charms cherry lollipops.
i'm so happy i wasn't drinking anything when i read that. there would have been a big mess.Quote:

Snap, I definitely have a picture of you in my head based on your avatar! And I wouldn't mess with ya, lol.
Who's watching Dancing with the Stars? Mario or Emmett? I'm gonna have to go with Mario - that man is hot!
Oh please - If Emmit wins its simply due to his fan base cuz Mario is by far a better dancer. However that middle judge has it in for Mario so I am wondering if he might sabatoge it somehow.....
I'm home. Went to work for an hour this morning, told the kids to be good or I'd throw up on them, got my shi*t together and called a sub for the rest of the day and tomorrow too. Lugged all my work home in case I feel up to working on report cards tomorrow. Of course people were cracking jokes that I just had "reportcarditis", until they saw I was still green around the gills...
I can't believe I am admitting this but I think I actually read Knot's post last night before it was deleted but I can't remember what it said. Clearly I didn't read carefully enough or maybe something would have stood out! Must have been during my fall back to pukedome...
I am in the process of trying to find a new avatar. I want it to be the picture on a card that dh gave me but I can't find it online. Will try to scan it someday I guess. It's the cutest picture of a little boy giving a little girl a ride on his trike. We think it looks just like us :) I'm sticking with the bike built for two for now...
I love your avatar. Like mine it is kind of old fashioned.Quote:

November- you're one of us. Crap, I am not even swtarted on you, except you will be getting October's gift bag that I couldn't get in the too small box.
I suck!!
But Inez doesn't suck- she snarfed down her first dinner tonight with _no_ problemo. It was funny- I put her in her deli cup (so she'd feel secure) with it, and she started shivering and quivering all over! She was so excited!! Frozen/Thawed, too!! Good gilr!
We're supposed to have a super storm tonight. I have to try to catch up on the movie I fell asleep during, Down In The Valley, before BF gets home to watch the rest of it.
Last night I opened a bottle of 1999 German Gewurtztraminer that I bought in Blue Ridge, Georgia, that I'd been hoarding for a year. It sucked. For my birthday, I have a bottle of Chateau Neuf du Pape, which I have never drank before. Probably spelled that wrong...Plus I think I iwll put a bottle of dessert wine in the fridge, too. BF has to work, oh joy. I will stay home and watch Jackass.
It throws me off when people change their avatar, too. What happened to the bears? Remember when the missing Bruno changed hers??
I redecorated Inez and, well, everyone tonight. Maizey got a new climbing tree. Addy got a small tree and a ton of vines. Choco got a huge vine to go on his pretty new climbing tree. Inez got a gorgeous climbing tree, a huge vine wrapped around the tree extending over the whole back wall, a hollow fallen cactus, hollow fallen wood, and a stone southwestern shelter. I had to take out one of her old hides, a stupid looking one, that she had two of, anyway. She still hasn't come out of her deli cup which she was in when she got all the new stuff. She'll be so excited!!
Dang it! So close and yet so far!Quote:

Hey, do you know that the PO will give you any size PriorityMail box you want? For FREE! -You just have to send it Priority Mail (which you have to do anyway instead of first class, if it's over a pound) YOu can ask for several different size free Priority boxes and envelopes next time you're in the PO. They have lots of nifty sizes and shapes.
Your pets sound really lucky. They should have tiny little Herculon Castro Convertable sofa beds in their tanks for when they do sleepovers. So glad to hear that Inez ATE! :) Was it a thawed mouse?
Again, thanks to Snap for finding it for me!Quote:

CyclChk, that Bianchi is beyond beautiful! Thanks for posting the picture. L.
I never got my September SS gift, and I didn't tell. I keep pretending it's coming from somewhere far away.
I thought I looked good as PR!
Wattle wattle!
That is one sweet looking bike ... if only we all won the lottery. :p
I had a very bad day.
I overslept (apparently never set the alarm), so I was an hour late to work. :mad: When I finally got there, they were having a meeting. The department is being reorganized because of a retirement, and I'm going to end up being assigned a certain project that essentially will double my work.
Sheesh. Show up late for work and all heck breaks loose.
Oh, and I completely lost all dedication to my healthier lifestyle and ate a large fast food meal, putting me like 1,000 calories over for the day. :( It's the first time I haven't hit my calorie target in 2 months, but it makes me worried.

Nanci,
I wish I could instantaneously send you the freshly killed plump mice and shrews that I am emptying almost daily right now from mousetraps in my basement and my garage. They are surely very nutritious, being "free range" country critters and all...
They start finding their way inside every Fall to escape the cold. They don't get in the main part of the house though because we have 3 ace mouser kitties in here. But the garage and the basement need reinforcements in the form of mouse traps. I don't use poison because I think it's very slow and cruel, whereas the trap is a lightning fast neck-breaker. (Also wouldn't want the cats to eat a dying poisoned mouse!)
OTG - sorry your day sucked. Tomorrow is a new day - you can do it! Don't let today be the start of the slide (that's so easy to do isn't it?)
I hate pictures of myself. I just downloaded the pix I took in Las Vegas. We made fools of ourselves in the Wax Museum; but I hate all the shots that have me in them!:(
Got an email from one of the girlfriends I went to LV with - wanting to know wth the bar was, and how come there were no slot machines in the lobby. I reminded her we were at work....
Yay for Inez eating, I think it's so cute that she has her security deli cup.
well, it's night here now. The wind is screaming through the trees and the rain is coming through sideways.
No one is here except me and i just sent my sister a letter telling her to leave me out of her problems with my DH.
I also spent a good hour tonight cleaning up the awful mess my 28 year old son has left in my basement. His lack of organization is almost scary; but i want to put my bike down there on the wind trainer, so i need the space NOW since it's like the worst weather for the whole year out there and I still need to pedal.
Offthegrid, your story about being late for work is VERY scary..
Dar- Someone 'went there' before I did. Dang. Well, I was going to say that if ever I wanted to see that picture, your avatar-sized version suits my needs nicely. I needn't see shrink-wrapped boyparts in any better resolution.
Not TOUCHING the blowpops thing. Not touching it at all.
X- HA! You jumped the gun on me. So sorely tempted and yet I chose not to... so you could someday walk along, and see a shadow on the ground... hear a whistle and with perfect comedic timing look up to see that one hit ya..... however I was too proper and ladylike. :D Buddy that I am, though, just lemme know and I'll call... and hang up. and call... and hang up just to f*ck with you. :D Then I'll delete this post like Knot and run away giggling.
CWR- I waved until I disjointed my arm, and then nice people in white coats came and put a nice white coat on me that buckled in lots of places and took me to this nice quiet place and now I play connect four with this guy who connects four and then tells me he sunk my battleship. :( He cheats, I think, b/c he gets help from all the voices. Jerk. :D Take care, hon, and remember I'm always here for ya... Even though the people in white coats didn't take well to my thumb-collecting side job for ya...
Mimi- It's not that that gives me the pukey feeling. I have it even when I don't do that. It's just getting up so early, I think, because I had the same problem when I was getting up at 5 for work. :P I think I just need to get used to the hours and not be in the middle of said transition.
Thinkin' that's it. *waves shoulder from inside straight jacket* :D
But did ADDY eat yet?
Could you put in a good word for me and have those nice men come here?Quote:

Kelownagirl- I am glad you were able to get a sub. Get rest.
Nanci- You are not a loser. You got turned in? Sometimes things just get delayed. Anyway, you are so not a loser! If it makes you feel better, I have not mailed out my Nov SS stuff yet. I do have everything though. I just am slow getting things to the PO, since I cannot drive.
Wow the new additions to your baby's habitats sound wonderful. Pics, we need pics. I am so proud of Inez. She is a very good girl. :) Did Addy eat the chicken broth covered mouse? I am worried about her.
OTG- I am so sorry you had a bad day. Now, just because you ate more calories than you wanted, forgive yourself. Tomorrow is a fresh new day. Trust me, I lost a lot of weight, and I will need to watch what I eat forever. That does not prevent me from occasionally going way over. Heck I cannot imagine spending the rest of my life without chocolate or cheesecake, etc. I just go back on track the next day. Beating yourself up will not help. I know, I have been there. If you want to talk PM me, okay.
Snap-I do not like pictures of myself either. Then a year or too later, I will see the picture and wonder what I was so worried about. We want to see pics. :)
nanci - I second the "you are not a loser" line. At least you sent one! I don't participate in the SS thing because I'm so sure I would buy a sucky gift and still be too disorganized to mail it. That's worse imo.
and Yay on the snake eating!!!!!!
Mimi- and other westcoasters. I was wondering how you were faring (sp?) with this storm. Been watching the news about Vancouver on TV and it's pretty scary! We're supposed to get the tail end of the winds here tonight but I haven't seen any yet. Hope not.
kits - I had the same pukey feeling every morning when I was your age. In my case it was due to lifestyle, not enough sleep, too much booze etc... After I had kids, I learned to be a morning person but it didn't come easy...
