Nanci - anyone who takes care to cover mice with toad urine in order for a snake's survival can in no way shape or form be considered a loser..... weird, maybe, but definately not a loser... ;)
(You aren't weird either..... well, maybe just a little - but in a good way! :eek: :D )
Thumb is much better today. Head has a nice lump at right temple but my headache finally went away over night.Quote:

hardly ever. too busy and to many peepers. Just check email mainly. BTW, thanks for the invite. I love all critters and have no allergies. But I think for your sanity, I'll just hang out with you a bit when/if I ever get there. You have no idea how weird I am in person, woman. :D I'm truly touched tho. Thanks again, hon. I'm buying dinner.Quote:

:rolleyes:
Oh! Look!
Captain Morgan's "tattoo" dark spiced rum is pretty good in soda (just enough to taste) but almost too strongly spiced to blend well. hmm.
KG- mock German for "The party's still going!" Farfrømpükin. :D Yes, I take the "acting like a silly kid" hit for y'all so you can live vicariously through me. Save your applause for after the show. :D Thank you! ¥øu'®é â€*øø kîn∂¡! Not sure if all the silly mac chars will show up, though. hm.
X- you didn't even try. tsk tsk tsk. I'll wait for it later. You've got more of a challenge than I did, though, too.
I signed up to the Death Vally century instead of Solvang! of course, I Could have been real crazy and done the double (especially since I'm going to attempt a 300k the weekend before.)
OTG I've lost 100 pound and kept if off, You'll overdo it on some days. Just don;t let be become a habit. I had to hit the snack machine for a snickers today,so don't feel bad
Oh, Kit, Kit, Kit... **shaking head** You have no idea how much effort was put into that. And in the end, I still got the response I was counting on. You're just too easy, hon. :D
(((Kit)))
:eek: I think I see it.
damm. You're subtle. And sneaky. Pff. *huff*
Not many people can leave me at a total loss for words. I'll get you. I will. Just you wait.
ROTFLMAO Saying nothing is better than saying it all sometimes dear Kit.
I CANNOT keep up with you two....:rolleyes:
Funny, i can follow it perfectly. How 'bout you Kit? :D Follow the white rabbit...
The confusion's half the fun! ...that and multi-tasking, holding the phone with one hand, typing with the other and attacking my rum'ncoke at the same time. I'm having fun! :)
... I am *not* that much of a fiend for attention, Ms. X. Really. :D You're too good. dammit.
How's the day going there today, CC? To entertain myself last night, I looked at a map of Australia's time zones so I would know what time it was when you posted.
kit hope that new straight jacket doesn't chafe.
x it was definatly the sweet part that reminded me of you.
made it up to anchorage. wow its cold here! took a nice hot bath and relaxed. now off to bed.
cc have a good day considering your probably just starting yours. :)
I'm sitting here searching for accomodation for the Ironman WA as i'm supposed to be volunteering at the event. I think i'll be in tears watching the event. It's just inspiring. A few of the people that train with the tri group our coach runs(http://www.wellbeings.com.au/) are participating.
I also looked at the entrants list and think it's great that there are a lot of folks from the US, Canada, Scotland, Japan, South Africa (hop skip and a jump over here for them), Singapore, Mexico and so forth. 849 entries so far.
Here's the link to the event http://www.ironmanwa.com/
Anywho, a cool event is on in perth this weekend. Check out http://www.redbullairrace.com/race.php
The best thing is I have the best view from my office window (37th floor) :) We (Ian & I) will be watching it whilst having a picnic inside with a couple of co workers. This is after rushing from the open water swim i'm going to do to calm my fears of swimming in the ocean.
Salsa-are you & hubby going to do the 'Round Taupo next year??
CWR-Are you back in the cold of Alaska yet?
Nanci-do what i do and send packages in bits if you don't have all the items. I have to do that this month as an item I want is out of stock...
X & Kit..what are you on about???
I'll be back a bit later. I must go & stretch-I did 43km tonight :)
I tried to do some sprints on my ride tonight..oh dear do i ever need work..It's suggested that we get off our saddle & sprint for 30seconds...oh dear oh dear..please give me a new set of legs..
c
Well, I finished Down In The Valley last night. I bought it without knowing anything about it because it was on a Top Five list on the Podcast Filmspotting about people who drastically change their lives. I really don't get how it got in that category- but it had Edward Norton in it...And Bruce Dern- I think he was my first movie BF back in the 70's. I should have known better since one guy loved it and the other hated it...I'm not sure what I think. It was weird.
I also bought History of Violence, from the same category, which they both loved.
Spent the evening playing with Choco, watching the movie, watching Jackass Season One and Two, (they are so much more refined now!) and pointing at Inez's viv saying "Doesn't it look cool in there now, don't you love the fake hollow cactus, look at her climb the vines!" I can handle her TOMORROW!!!
Addy hasn't eaten. I'm weighing her weekly. She has only lost a couple grams. I think the next thing will be *****WARNING DON'T READ IF SQUEAMISH!!!!!! I AM NOT KIDDING!!! OK, DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU**** cut open the frozen toad I have in the freezer (he died of natural causes, I didn't kill him, and it's not THE Mr. Toad!!!) and rub a mouse in toad guts juice. As recommended by my snake guru _and_ the snake store guy...
I am proud of myself for just letting the Charms Pop thing go. It was hard, though. I went to great lengths to resist commenting. I didn't want to blow it out of proportion.
Why do I always have to go psycho at my boss the week before my annual review???
Bikingmomof3 "Trek-I am drooling, I want to come there if for no other reason than to eat. :D"
Don't drool on the keyboard you'll short out the aaaack ....
:eek: You are amazing! You give me a lot of hope. Do you have before/after pics you wouldn't mind posting?Quote:

Actually if I just adjust my calories down for a couple of days, I'll hit my average target for the week, so I should be OK.
yup, X, i caught you; i saw the whole thing. but... since you didn't delete the post, it's not the same. Hey would any of you like to swap sisters with me?
Mine is driving me absolutely nuts.
X- I'm going to blame you for my lack of sleep. Not that I didn't willingly accept it but geez... if I have to keep laughing until my sides hurt, it's not going to be very *relaxing* :D
Dar- How many licks does it take to get to the c- oh, that's tootsie-roll. D'oh!
CWR- Superman's such a jerk when he's had a few... nope, no chafing on the new straight jacket. much softer than mine, and I can twiddle my toes just fine!! Off to play poker with the guy who yells "Yatzi!" when he has a good hand. :rolleyes:
Oh, X, I remembered something again from last night. "F*** You!" I'm sure you wanted a pic of my expression when I 'got it'. Didn't take long, did it? the nerve! grr. huff. grr! you keep that to yourself, young lady!
I'm SO getting the desktop that says "American π" hehehe*snort* "One time in math class..." :D
Ya know I just love you, Kit! Hey, you get more sleep than I get chica and I'm *mumble, mumble* years older! That was fun. Thanks for the chat. Sorry I lost you so many times. I'm gonna get my itemized cell bill and go "WTF? How many times did I have to ring her back?" We just gab too much. Even the phone is protesting. BTW, I had to change my socks cuz my feet were so wet and frozen. I love Smart Wool! Aaaah!
CC - nice to hear from ya this a.m. hehehe Novelist? I like it. When I publish, I'll send ya free copy. You can use it to prop up a table leg or something.
OTG - hey girl! Check your PM's. Hopefully it's is do-able this w/e. Hang in there. A slip is just a slip, not a fall. We're here to catch ya, hon!
mimi - You know I only pick on those I love. It just happened to be your turn. ;) You're a big 'read between the lines' type too. In your case, you have the proper amount of restraint. I just haven't grown that organ yet. Hmmm, maybe if I have them remove my spleen, I'll have room for a restraint. Really, what's the spleen do anyway? Just lays there and adds weight to the scale...
CWR - nice to see ya got to post last night. Get some sleep and let us know what's up. Lots of love little sister! (((((CWR)))))
Oh, Kit I just remembered something too... I accept that offer! (No, not that one. You always go to the wrong place, ya know? ;) :D) Be good today little sis. Play nice with the other kids.
Have a blast today ladies and be safe.
cindy
X if you had a family like mine you'd learn restraint really quickly. It's a survival skill, and i'm dead serious here. I enjoy your silliness and spunk though.
you know i always thought cleaning up cat puke was bad, but rubbing dead mice in toad piss?
And on that happy note, I'm taking my dog for a walk...Quote:

oh, Kelowna girl, are you sure? My sister can make trees die just by looking at them. And she never forgets a slight... from 40 years ago.. and makes new ones up as she goes along.
Unfortunatley, no. I've Kept my old PA Driver's Lic. that shows me at the wieght. Most people don't beleive that's it me. I also had my hair a lot longer then too.Quote:

I crawled out of bed long enough to grab my laptop.
Mimi-I knew there were reasons I have not lived near family for 16 years. Thank for for reminding me. :D
Knot- How was the walk?
Kit and X- I have no idea what you to are talking about, but I am happy you are both amused. :cool:
Nanci-whay happened at work? Are you feeling better now?
CWR- I miss you. :)
Salsa-what time is it right now for CC?
http://www.marinoni.qc.ca/images/200...ivoExpress.jpg
this is so pretty! and so much nicer than worrying about my sister.
now if i could have THIS paintjob on their touring bike!
Whadda mean Kit & CWR???? It's my avatar and I want to hear the story *stomps feet* I'm telling mom. You always tell Kit and CWR and you don't share your stories me me **folds arms across chest** I'm gonna pout now.:(Quote:

Nanci, I didn't get a May or whatever the second month SS was. So I didn't participate for a while. If it makes you feel better, just send me that package:p J/K of course, just mail it late. Always better late than never. And come on, you know you want to comment on the Polska boys...come on...
[QUOTE=Kitsune06;145108]
Dar- How many licks does it take to get to the c- oh, that's tootsie-roll. D'oh!
As many as I want to take, Dear Kit. With age comes patience:D
Fredwina and OTG - you guys are inspirational on your weight loss! I've decided I need to loose 20 pounds and all of a sudden I'm eating everything that isn't nailed down. How's that for mental sabatoge??
Well DAR - I guess we now know its about popularity and NOT dancing ability. Mario was by FAR a better dancer but certainly Emmit has more of a fan base. And I was very pleased to see Mario handle it as well as he did. I'd love to punch that Ebinezer judge tho.... does that make me a bad person???
And what am I, chopped liver? :( Didn't I point out the whole Charms similarity to begin with??Quote:

Saw my chiro last night. He said my psoas muscle is causing a lot of my problems. I've been doing some research and found this really interesting article:http://www.positivehealth.com/permit...ork/koch65.htm
Maybe that explains my balance problems and bike crashes:D So he told me no more running until we get this fixed and I get to do 2000 leg lifts (to the back, half standing bent over and the other half laying on my stomach) every day, and trying the scissors splits. So another goal is shot this year - I wanted to run in a 5K on the 26th. I am going to get this fixed and have a great 2007!
thanks Mtbdarby, great article!Quote:

Yes, I have a "good" brother and an "a**h*le" brother. The good one can be exhausting and frustrating sometimes, but at least he is always good natured. The other one loves to be in control and is a bully sometimes. At least we all manage to be on speaking terms (except for one year when my bad brother screamed at me (what a jerk!) and then refused to speak to me at all because I wouldn't do what he told me) :D Glad I get to choose who we spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with! :cool:Quote:

Ah - the fallout from the LV trip is beginning. One of our travel party was a bit out of control. She is newly separated, with new boobs, and an overwhelming desire to be noticed BY THE WORLD -- as in "Hi!, My name is Doris, and these are my breasts!" A bit bossy and demanding - IF she ever travels with me again she will learn to STFU; the world does not rotate around your boobs. My "I'm going to kill her moment" came when she insisted on going to the mall - "I need to go to Macy's and buy face cream. It gets rid of the puffy eyes". For $80 it had better make me coffee and cook me breakfast.
/vent over
Gee snap, i'm with you. That woman would have driven me nuts too.Quote:
