Knot- ummm nice technique. I'd personally use a couple cotton balls, one inside, one outside, both saturated... but... whatever works, ya?

Oh yeah, we had school. As long as the busses are running and the power is on, we have school. Haven't had a snow day in the 12 years I've been teaching. One of the school buses was super late picking kids up today though. Almost an hour late. That's mostly because we live where it is really hilly and they have to climb to get the kids home. We were spinning out a bit gettng home ourselves today but the roads have certainly been worse. Everything was plowed and sanded by the time we left for work this morning anyway.
The kids all arrived in full snow gear - snow pants, toques, mitts, scarves, boots, and of course sliding carpets. They spent the whole lunch hour sliding down the back hill in the school yard. Lots of fun but not fun to supervise 700+ kids in the snow....
Ow, ow, OUCH! Knot's nose and the boy's tongue. :eek: :eek:
Hope your saline soaking solution helped you, KN! But how do you breathe when your nose is in the water? I've got a picture, of heavy mouth breathing, trying NOT to suck in any water thru the nose........ My luck, I'd probably drown myself.
'nite all, sweet dreams! Don't go dreaming those scary ones.....

Hey, TD!
Turkey + cranberry relish sandwiches = yum. If you can add stuffing, even yummer.
Soda is the correct word. I don't know why I'm the only person in the midwest who calls it that.
My mom loves glucosamine for her joints. Buys it at Walgreens.
CVS has taken over Oscos in this neck of the woods, and it's a good, good thing.
It's 61 degrees at midnight. I <3 it! Soon to pass, though.
I am totally, totally whipped on J. And he is on me, too. :D :D :D
'night, TD!

Hey, this is post #3,033 for me! What a great number! 3 x 3!
Annie, now THAT'S a midwestern thing - I don't do pickled things from bars!Quote:

Yep, my baby girl has a bladder infection. But the vet didn't give her anything yesterday, he needs to finish up a test today so he knows which antibiotic to give her. Does that make sense? I hate having her hurting any more than she needs to.
So picture this. I know my dog has a bladder infection and is having accidents, yet I knowingly leave her in the house yesterday (can you say brain fart?). Care to guess what happened???? I smelled it when I went into my bedroom last night - she piddled on the playroom carpet. A huge, stinky puddle. Dang it anyhow, what was I thinking? I soaked up as much as I could and doosed it with Natures Miracle. I sure hope the stink comes out. Lesson learned - they're in the garage today.
KG, poor boy! That is cruel yet there's always one kid who tried it. I remember the kid in our class that did.
Raining today and in the 50's. Highs in the 20's after today - here comes winter!
OTG - so do you still have a job today?
Lise - it's pop girl. Get on board:p
The December issue of More magazine has a bike in it. Page 104. A beeeeuuuuutiful lugged steel step-through with 3 speed internal hub, looks like a Raleigh from what I can see of the headbadge. Fenders, rack.
aaaaand, they spray-painted the ENTIRE THING white!!!!
Yeah, sure, it emphasizes the red stockings and red shoes the model is wearing, but how could they do that?
Anyway, I dreampt about that bike last night. Dreampt I bought it super cheap and someone was gonna help me fix it.
My mom had a bike kinda like that when I was 9 or 10, and I remember what a treat it was when she'd let me ride it. First bike with gears and handbrakes that I rode.
(wonder if the More people know about ghost bikes, and if they donated that bike after the photo shoot? where did the bike go? to a dumpster, probably... sigh)
Sounds like my 1954 rebuild project, but I've got the black gent's frame in 23 1/2 inch.Quote:

THAT is amazing.I'd love to live 2 doors down from the vet. How nice that they will do that for you!Quote:

Happy Birthday, Mimi!!

So are you having cake and ice cream tonight? What kind of birthday traditions do you guys celebrate?
Went and got my oil changed for lunch - oooh, such fun I have. Still thinking about my baby girl at home in the garage...
I am not having cake and icecream tonight. not sure what is happening Saturday when we celebrate DH's birthday AND mine. Maybe my mother will make a cake or my son will make a pie.
My husband might take me out for dinner tonight; i am not really sure.
He is very pleased with himself about this jersey which i wore to work (half
the building is empty..)
it's warm.

I'm back from visiting Sanibel Island (my inlaws for Thanksgiving) It was a nice trip. The first few days were a little cool but then it warmed up and was perfect low to mid 70's most of the time. Didn't have a bike so the only exercise I got was walking, but that was okay for the week. We got some things done around their house, painting, fixing dryrot wood, etc. So at least were a little bit productive. I got my full share of Gulf Shrimp - Oh yummy fresh shrimp. There is just nothing like it!
Our trip back was uneventful but long, we flew into Charlotte - had a 3 hour layover and then ended up with another 3 hour layover in Phoenix cause our little plane was delayed with maintenance issues. That was kind of a drag but we got home anyway. The trip into Flag was really bumpy but not unusually so.
Big Kitty is so happy we are home! He woke me up every hour - I guess he had to check I was still alive or something. He would get right up in my face and purr and purr and purr and if I didn't pay him any attention he would gently stick his paw in my face! Got to love that old Kitty!
It's just little snow flurries here today - hope we get some more significant snow tonight!
Boy, do I need some Exercise.
Don't know what has happened to my hubby! He is actually getting domestic (like he has cleaned the bathroom more in the last 6 months than in the entire time we have been married!; he went grocery shopping with me at lunchtime and actually took al the groceries home and unpacked them when I went back to work! (totally his idea); he washed pots and pans for Thanksgiving???! ) Wow, I'm just shocked and amazed!
Mimi: Great Jersey
Homemade beer - my old neighbor makes the best beer! He brought a bunch out a few years ago after we all helped each other shovel out after a real big snow storm! We just stood in the street at night and drank this great beer as the snow kept coming down! It was a gorgeous evening and a great neighborhood coming together party!
Happy Birthday Mimi
The jersey is gorgeous. Please post a pic of you modeling it. :)
Dar-I am sorry to hear Xena's infection is so bad. Glad the vet is close. :)
As for the Soda/Pop question, it is pronouced: Soda :D
Sorry to not read and then post and run, but I'm just exhausted ...
Saw my new doc today. He was AWESOME. I'm so happy with the switch. Well worth the wait. I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon.
I lost 3.25 pounds in two weeks (we didn't have an official weigh-in last week). This is super astonishing to me because at my gym's scale, I had gained 6 pounds last week. :eek: Go figure. I've lost 22.75 pounds total.
Got my new Look pedals today to go with my new crank that's being ordered. My heart rate monitor is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I can't use it in my session with my trainer this week. :mad: And I have replacement running shoes arriving this week, too. :) Happy early Christmas to me.
*yawn* Well, I really gotta get to bed. I didn't fall asleep until nearly 1 a.m. last night and then had to get up at 5:30 to go swimming.
Happy Birthday, Mimi!
I'm AG and I'm a cyclist
I've been trying to catch up before I jumped in....but thats like riding against a 35 mph headwind. Much more fun though, you gals are a hoot!
BMo3: loved the Christms Card.
Mimi: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love the jersey!
definately SODA (I was born and raised in MO, so I guess that makes me a midwesterner:D (of course, sometimes I still warsh my clothes too:o )
X: went out riding with BSG (bike shop guy) today. He got a call while we were riding about OTG's crank, a BSG is never off duty! We also plotted a nice little 23 mile loop from my house. Next time you two come down we'll give it a go. We'll have to wait until OTG's compact is done though cuz there is just_a_little_climbing :eek:

SW - nice that hubby is helping out. Take it while you can get it! Nothing I love more than to watch a man do housework. :D
Dar - hope the pup is better by now. :(
CWR - Where DO you get all those animations?!
-20 right now, that's a few degrees below 0 F. Still had school today but only 15 minutes of time outside at lunch so the kiddies didn't get frostbite.
(hee hee, I wrote fristbike at first)....
odd thing just happend.
Did any of you ship me something by UPS? If so sorry, I refused it :rolleyes:
there's a knock on the door, a man says "UPS, I need a signature"
huh? I'm not expecting anything by UPS and told the guy so.
He repeated that he needs a signature
I look out the window (over barking lab/pit dog, good dog Mae :rolleyes:), this is not a UPS uniform.
I told him I'm not opening the door, if you're UPS leave it if not I'm calling the cops.
He left, I did, cops will check it out.
A certain someone on this board confirms UPS will not deliver after 6 except to busineses and they are always in full uniform not blue track suits :mad:
You did the right thing.
I told SKnot your story, and he rolled his eyes as I began the Mom's Litany Of Dangers Whilst You Are Home Alone. But I think knowing it happened to someone he knows makes him consider that *maybe* there's a real reason Mom is such a nag about safety...
UPS drivers must wear full uniform (right down to their socks) when they deliver. They will give you ID if you ask, they will tell you who the package is from, and if they can't get a signature because you won't open the door, they WILL leave a hang-tag at your door.
(I have a friend who's a UPS driver, and she complains about having to buy uniform socks; but now I see the point. And, no, she would NEVER try to deliver in a blue track suit!)
After he left I put Mae into a sit behind me, opened the door (so if the bad guy is still out there and can read Japanese he can see the beyooteeful 2nd degree black belt certificate framed on the wall behind me) and checked to see if there was a tag.
No tag. :mad: I don't think that was UPS.
Yikes, that IS scary! Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. So glad you didn't open the door Trek...
Hey ladies, sorry I don't post as often anymore (and TD seems so much quieter for it....) but work's got my head spinning.
Had an exciting morning. Not going into details (I don't need that kind of attention) but everything's ok now. I need to get some sleep.
My commute's going well. I'm gaining strength so much faster than I expected to. Big breakfasts (ok, oatmeal in general) is still making me feel sorta pukey, but I'm truckin' along. It's something to set out and see it snow... or to be coming home, feeling the temp drop, and watch puddles progressively become more and more frozen-over as you approach 'home'... Can't wait for the days when the sun's actually up for the whole thing, though. :P
Mimi- have a very happy birthday (What's left of it, that is) Sweet jersey!
OTG- Congrats! you'll find you gain and lose weight at weird rates while biking w/ the formation of muscle, etc... just keep at it...
AG- I've always said 'Soda' too. Folks around me would say 'warsh' but it was never something I really ended up adopting. Just get me to say 'hammock' or 'havoc' or similar words and I'll say 'em like a midwesterner, though... and you never do get away from that midwestern thing, eh CWR? ;)
CWR- I'll ask your permission before risking life and limb again 'kay? :p It's hard to properly accept "Stay safe--or else!" threats. I mean... or else what? ;) :D
X- you're just crazy. And that's ok. *hug*
Trek- You did the right thing. People are beyond creepy and weird.
Knot- I'm glad someone else has "Mom's Litany" to hear over and over. It seems like so many kids these days don't hear any of that stuff and are *so* stupid about things...
kelownagirl "Yikes, that IS scary! Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. So glad you didn't open the door Trek..."
yeah, when I called the police dispatcher she said "you didn't open the door did you?:eek: :confused:"
Trek "he)) no"
dispatcher "good girl" :D
nah, I don't need that kinda work out.:o
Kit: yeah oatmeal! breakfast of (pukey) champions
ag it fun trying to catch up! I'm dreading the fact that I'm going to spending the better part of a week with My family and will be drift-less :rolleyes:
Mimi Happy Birthday:D
Soft drink - My grandfather Burress taught that the proper way to ask for was "Coca-Cola";) ;) That's what for being the product of two Tennesseans. I did grow up in Missouri, so to me it's Soda
AG - People have a hard time with my accent and placing it. most people guess Arkansas, which is very close. have to go - gotta wrash my Farks in the zinc;)
Here's a laugh for the day..put your coffee's down and stop eating...
My team name for the 12hr is: Wake me up before i go slow..:o
Ian's doing it solo & his team name: There's a loose nut on my bike.
It should be a great event night riding with kangaroos rustling around scaring the pahooeys out of me :eek:
have a good afternoon
c
stirring once, stirring twice,
stirring chicken soup with rice!
todays crock-pot adventure is chicken soup with rice. SKnot likes it! yay!
The non-recipe:
rotisserie chicken carcass
2 carrots
half a bunch of celery
a cup or so of brown rice
1/2 head of garlic
spoonful of dried rosemary
water
I don't think that was UPS, either. You handled it so well. Glad you're OK. (((Trek)))Quote:
