OK, I'm sure I'll get booted out of TD for asking this but... what's a lug?
Trek420, and everyone who ever complimented my snakes: Thank you for sharing my pride in my babies. I get so much enjoyment out of them. I'm sure my blood pressure must drop just the same as if I were petting a dog, when Choco is running through my fingers or curled in my hand. You should have seen Inez when I took her out. At first, she curled into this little ball of snake- you couldn't even tell where her head was. Just a perfectly little round black and red and yellow ball- tiny. Poor little babe- she's probably never been handled. I hope she gets used to it quickly and becomes a good friend like Choco. Maizey is big and gorgeous and a magnificent snake, but she just doesn't tuck into my hand at 200X the size of Choco. But she is great to go out walking with...

Glad to see you back little sister! Give that dog a smooch and enjoy the drink. Talk to you later...
~mickey~
CWR, I am so sorry. If I could have one wish in life it would be that we could all meet someone, fall madly in love, and stay that way until the end. Why can't it just be like that?
Well, as my favorite band The Holy Rollin' Hellfires says, "When one door shuts, a window opens!" I hope when you go out that window, it's to someone better.
(I don't think they meant it in the generally used context...)
((((((((((((((((((((((CWR)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
(((((((((((((((((((((CWR)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
You are safe and loved here. I wish I could make the pain go away. I can tell you that it will eventually go away.
Huge Hugs!
CWR,
It 's like Nanci said about the closed door thing.
One of my favorite sayings is:
We must give up the life we had planned
if we are to lead the life that lies before us.
Time will heal the heart. Take care of yourself.
I'm so sorry CWR. That's such a hard decision to make but I applaud you for having the gumption to know when something is working and when it isn't even though it's difficult. So many times we stay in a relationship because splitting up is too hard (10 years too long in a 20 year marraige for me.) Hugs to you from me too...
*tight hugs*
You're very loved, Chica. Be kind to yourself and hug your furbaby, too. You made the right decision, and after it stops hurting you'll feel the relief, I promise. *tight hugs part II*
((((((((((((((((( cwr )))))))))))))
like Lisa sez "If you want to hear G** laugh, tell her "I have a plan"
{{{{CWR}}}} I know it sucks right now but one day I promise you are going to wake up and and the pain you feel right now will just be a melancholy memory that will actually make you smile......
(((CWR)))
The fake lug is on the top tube just behind the head tube It's hard to see in the picture because of a white bike on a white background. It was really obvious at the LBS. Those faux lugs are ugly as sin.Quote:

Stereotypes are overrated.
(((((((((((((((((CWR)))))))))))) from down under.
My dear you did what your heart said was right. YOu're a good woman.
I have to post the lyrics to "Don't Give Up"By Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush.
Don't Give Up
in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose
don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good
though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn
drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong
rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up
'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing
moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs
don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong
_______
Again, take care

TD is the place to be during this life event. (I wouldn't've made it through mine without these gals.) PM me if you want.
Helpful hint from my personal experience: don't drink the whole bottle in one night. And if you do anyway, be sure to post on TD all night long!
CWR, I'm sorry. You WILL get through this and it will get better.
((((((((((((((((( cwr )))))))))))))
Yeah, be sure to continue posting if you drink the whole bottle. Someone will still be awake and respond!
CC - thanks for posting those lyrics. What a great song...
CWR..if you end up drinking the whole bottle, i'm online/msn when the other ladies are snoozing away...The joys of time differences.

I LOVE Choco.
Happy Birthday for real, Nanci. It's a pleasure to know you.
I'm bored...c'mon guys sleep isn't that important...;)
I'm very excited-I purchased a tri top today and it doesn't look too bad...Gotta work on the behind but (no pun intended) i suppose cycling in the heat will help...
Sitting here trying to decide wether to get up really early & do 2-3 laps on the 12hr (mtn bike event) course, zoom home, zoom to the city with ian & watch the airshow thing OR..get up sort of early & do an open water swim, zoom to the city, have a shower at work & watch the airshow..
I need to do both but can't do both at the same time.
Off to wander
c
Happy Birthday Nanci!!!
See, I got it right this time! ;) :D
X- How are you UP so early?! On a SATURDAY?! You, young lady, turn right around RIGHT NOW and go back to bed if you don't have work or some other pressing engagement. Geez!
I'm broke but I'm happy; I'm poor but I'm kind; I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah!~ I'm high but I'm grounded; I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed; I'm lost but I'm hopeful, Baby! ~What it all comes down to is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine...
Cuz I've got one hand in my pocket, and the other one is giving a high five.
I feel drunk but I'm sober, I'm young and I'm underpaid; I'm tired but I'm working, yeah~ I care but I'm restless; I'm here but I'm really gone; I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby
What it all comes down to is that everything's gonna be quite alright. I've got one hand in my pocket and the other one is flicking a cigarette
And what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet, but I've got one hand in my pocket and the other one is giving the peace sign.
I'm free but I'm focused; I'm green but I'm wise; I'm hard but I'm friendly, baby~ I'm sad but I'm laughin'; I'm brave but I'm chicken****, I'm sick but I'm pretty, baby...
And what it all boils down to is that no one's really got it figured out just yet. I've got one hand in my pocket and the other one is playing the piano. And what it all comes down to my friends, yeah, is that everything's just fine fine fine... I've got one hand in my pocket, and the other one is hailing a taxi cab.
That song almost always makes me feel better about whatever... hadda listen to it a lot yesterday... maybe today, too. Figured I'd share it with you, Chica, maybe it'd do the same for you. ((((Chica))))
ANnnnnd- happy birthday, Nanci! For real this time
Happy Birthday Nanci - will the snakes help you celebrate? Maybe the brat will eat!
So Sorry CWR - You're a strong lady and I know you will be fine but I'm sure it hurts pretty bad right now.
I'm off to soak in the hot tub and then go for a nice little road ride - wish someone was here to join me today - gotta go alone Hubbys off in Florida and Anita couldn't come till tomorrow. It is supposed to be around 60 and little wind today so it should be a nice ride anyway.
Oh - gotta clean up the dirty kitchen - how does it get so messed up?
The Big Kitty is sleeping again - what can you expect out of a 20 pound 20 year old?
Fake lugs? What's next?
Happy Birthday to You! cha, cha, cha!
Happy Birthday to You! cha, cha, cha!
Happy Birthday Dear Nanci
Happy Birthday to You! cha, cha, cha!
hehehe. Kit, I told you last night I don't get hangovers! Hope I didn't say something too stupid while I was drunk. :rolleyes: Thanks for keeping me occupied. At least I didn't post drunk. **coughKnotcough** You're right tho, it's always more intoxicating when I'm in the hot tub. Imagine if I had the wine instead? :eek: Mmmm, Corona with a lime, good stuff. The third one put me waaay over the edge. Hey, at least I didn't drop the phone in like that cookie. Thanks Kit, I think we both needed that.
I'm changed, packed and ready for my ride, wanna come along? I'm headin' out in about 10 minutes. Nah, you're probably still in yer jammies, huh? BTW, how's your own head this a.m.? Nice and thick I hope. :D
CWR - um....er....uh.... Oh h*ll, you know. ;) When you're ready, I'm here. At anytime for any reason, little sister. **big kiss and hug**
Sweet Pea is calling... she's been awfully lonely lately. No trainer for her today, she's needin' some serious hills!
toodles TD.
I rarely recall my dreams, but last night's dream was bizarre. We were at Nanci's (I like how I imagine your home is decorated). All of us were at Nanci's and she was teaching us how to properly handle her babies and then we had a picnic out back in the newly decorated grazing area with the tortoises.
All of us (every drifter) was there and we had a blast! I must be wanting us all to be gathered in one location. :)
I think we were both pretty silly but I don't think anything too terribly embarrassing was said, except for that thing about *talking into her hand* mmmhmmpphhh mhhgmm mm! *hand away* THAT was freaking hilarious! And glad you didn't drop the phone, even when you had to get yer 'land legs' after leaving. :D
I'm not too bad today. hungry. Woke up before I had to... so I'm a good girl...
Gotta go make breakfast and head to work... Alanis is still in my car. Thank god no one has to hear me howl along. :eek: :rolleyes:
Packing for my monday morning commute. Just got a new lock, too... the Masterlock Bike Cuff. Visual appeal-wise it's so awesome... handcuffs... but for a bike. I'm easily amused I guess. Gotta get the carrier for it, though, because it's really freakin' heavy. :p I'm paranoid about bike security now, though... *sigh*
ACK I'm running LATE!
*runs!*
Isn't that weird when you dream about people you don't know??
Well, for my birthday I will be uninstalling my thermostat and reinstalling a different one- Home Depot sold me the wrong kind last summer and last night when I turned the furnace on for the first time, it wouldn't turn off.
Nanci
::::::singin' the happy bd song for Nanci:::::::::
Best part is, you don't even have to hear me, just know I'm wishing you a good one.
(((CWR))) - so sorry, but now you've taken the first step towards moving into something better. One of my favorite lines from a song is this"
"Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end." Very true. I will wish you a good beginning for this point in your life.
annie
Happy birthday Nanci!!!
Yes, and yet it all was so real, if that makes any sense. Even the feel of the snakes and Mr. Toad. :)Quote:

It was such a beautiful and relatively warm day on Thursday (low 50's) that I was dying to get out on my bike. Those kinds of days are few and far between now. Probably won't get out this weekend either since dh and I both have to do report cards all weekend. Plus it's Grey Cup tomorrow GO LIONS!!! Anyway, I'm just rambling this morning... Guess I'd better get to work...

Kind of like the end of wizard of oz? "and you were there and you and you and..."
Well, off to the Velo Swap, I get to spend time with Spazzdog.
Exactly! Oh did I mention addy ate like a good girl while we were there?Quote:

Spring in the Northwest!
Just took the dog out. My daffodils next to my back porch are coming up!
