It's not just the boobs, it's everything. She's in an absolute panic about aging. First she needed the boobs so she'd feel better, didn't really do the trick; her self esteem is still very low. Now she blows money on every cream/lotion/oil to prevent any sign that she might be over 40. I could go on, but you'll just have to take my word for it - we are not talking about a secure in her own body woman.Quote:

Yes, I play a lot. Mostly clawhammer banjo and mountain dulcimer. And I sing. DH is an excellent fiddler.Quote:

And she's on the hunt for the boy version of the young chippie :rolleyes: I've seen it before in other friends who've gotten divorced. Hopefully she will survive this without too much damage.Quote:

We're doing a 50's musical with our staff at school and will performing for the kids and parents. Lots of fun!Quote:

Glad I left my boobs alone though! ;)Quote:

And we've all 4 been to band camp.
One year, at band camp, I got up in the morning, and there were still guys jamming, they thought it was still the night before!
Pssst... If you all don't see Knotted here for awhile tonight, you can blame me. I sent her a link to ***waterford porn***.
as in Waterford crystal???? <droooool>
Not crystal, Waterford bikes, she has one. The cute bike on the left.
Everybody: leave the boobs alone ;-)
Oh you funny chatty girls!
Lisa, what's this first post on the page about your boobs????:D Sorry, couldn't resist, lol.
Nanci, sorry you had a rough day girl. They should no better than to mess with you. You could, like leave, and go on a bike ride, and it could be, like, 9 hours before you come back...
No, I've never been to band camp. But I love the fiddle. Can't play anything and can't sing either. I'm in awe of those of you that can.
BMo3 - got the second shirt to day. It's purple. I will pm you later. Project FROG/TOAD is going slow. My profile has been viewed over 600 times though. I was emailing a firefighter in Milwaukee, he asked for my phone number 2 days ago and haven't heard from his since. I'm also emailing a police officer near LaCrosse. No dates in the near future at this rate...
OK, I'm tired. Kit, enjoy your evening with dgf. A good night/evening to everyone else too. And Trek, I'm keeping my boobs....just in case you were wondering:p
You mean...Step A-w-a-y from the Boobs...Quote:

A new world record! Didn't delete until the next morning!
waiting waiting ..... :p
Whoo Hoo, I stayed up late enough to see one of Knot's posts. Now I can go to sleep happy.
awwww, look the bikes are cuddling. :p
Bmo3, you may thank me later for keeping her distracted.
Thank you Trek. And I did notice earlier the bikes appeared to be cuddling. :D
Good Night TD, Bad day, lovely run in the rain, another icky night. The morning holds the promise of a fresh new day. :)

Yes, they're both cute, but we need a close-up to call it porn. The Waterford porn is at http://www.yellowjersey.org/r33.html The R33, of Reynolds 853 steel, "world's lightest steel frame at 1450 grams", sub-18 lb for the whole bike with no carbon parts.Quote:

I just realized you all didn't necessarily really have these experiences at band camp.Quote:

And poor Nanci for having such a crappy BF that would make her cry on Nail Lady's Sister's shoulder! :mad: Boo on ex-BF! Yay for snakes!
I convinced BF that Widow Snake would be a good birthday present- (actually, all the stuff for her) and wrote the guy to tell him I wanted him for sure, and now her ad is pulled off the classifieds...I wonder what that means. I haven't heard back- but he might be the kind of person that is only on line in the afternoon/evening (can you imagine that??)
So now I'm worried...
Maybe it means BF got her for you!Quote:

But I have a name, Isabel- Izzy! Just have to find a snake to go with it.

Lise, mine were true stories, at band camp, I went 4 times to the Port Townsend Old Time Fiddletunes Festival.. We followed living legends around and learned to play their tunes. on the last day, we improvised bands made up of students and did a show.Quote:

He grabs the microphone in front of HUNDREDS of people and starts rambling about something or the other... it was so embarrassing. After what felt like hours we got him to start playing music...
DebW "Yes, they're both cute, but we need a close-up to call it porn. The Waterford porn is at.... "
ooooh, schweet.
But I like Flossie (and Menace) better. I just don't like those straight forks.
I know they are lighter, more efficient blah blah. There is something about the straight lines and angles of the frame and then classic curved front forks. So sue me, I'm an artist notta bike geek.
Long live classic steel bikes!
Really must go walk the dog. TGIF TE TD.
I found the straight forks to be jarring, too. (visually, I mean. Dunno what they're like to ride on) The fork tubes seem too wide a diameter, too.
Deb, what's the rationale behind the straight forks?
But pretty bike porn, none the less.
Trek - you are an artist AND a bike geek!:D
