Uh... Mz. Rayted- I thought K shot JR, Atari just released "The Matrix: The Path of Neo" and "Test Drive: Unlimited"? Oh, and that cute chick holding the scissors is serious. :D :p

(I knew you had to have your head examined...)

Oh yeah. That's right. It was when Bobby died that it was all a dream. Awww, sh*t. :(

um... wrong Atari for the times, chica. ;)

(don't forget the laterals on that skull, hon. do them erect or crosstable as we would be looking at the sinuses for fluid levels. soemtimes only way to know you have a fx. and, that's the only view where you can see all 4 kinds.)

Now seriously, put down those scissors... :eek:

Hey, CC, what's the weather doing? And how are you?

We're back in the hotel because they did the last hardwood floor finish today. The fumes set off the newly installed smoke alarms, so we had to drive 20 miles back home to pull out all the batteries and shut off the circuit breaker. And 20 miles back to the hotel. At 10 pm tonight. But better that than having some passerby report it and the firemen break in and tromp all over the newly finished floors. Sheesh.

Hey Salsa,

Think about it Salsa: if the fire dept did make a visit, it may have been a cute, buff firefighter..:D Not a bad way to end the night..except the floors..nya mabye not..

The house will look booooteful once completed :) . Say hello to the man & beeper. How did you enjoy the ride last weekend?

Today was great but a bit hot as it was 35c.

I had a wonderful ride today. I was going to ride from home to our group ride but there was a small problem of finding more water once I made it to the meeting point. I had enough for a 2 1/2hr ride so here's what I did. I rode to a train station 6km from my house, took the train to the cbd, biked 6km to the meeting point and then did the 60km ride. (i then rode to pilates..another few km...all up i rode 80km today..)

It went really well. I set my timer for every 30min to remind myself to have a power gel which worked fine. I drank all my water & felt pretty good until somehow i lost my oomph for some reason. It was then i lost sight of my group and thought I was lost. I came to an intersection/turn off where i didn't see any of the group..so i turned left & followed the road. I'd never actually been down this particular road & thought ok i'll follow it thinking it would take me to the canning bridge..nup..Stopped and asked for directions. To make a long story short, i was going the right way & i found the group again. :)

Good news is i'm getting better at the hills :) I can sprint up them staying seated to a certain extent but sometimes get the gearing just a smidgen wrong. (a while back we were given some info by our coach to stay seated in the climbs..works for me!)

We're doing an easy non technical 40 km mtn bike ride tomorrow-just a small last minute test to check certain things out prior to our 102km ride next weekend. Please send good vibes down this way & fingers crossed for coolish weather(nothing over 30c please.)

have a good evening.

C

Wow, CC those are some pretty serious distances in very warm weather! Good luck with your ride tomorrow, and keep doing all the water and gels or other fuel. I'm convinced it's what gets us through!

And, yes, I do my best to stay seated on the hills, too, unless it's only a couple of pedal strokes, as it cranks both my muscles and my heartrate to stand! More staying power without serious cranking!

Salsa, please let us know how that hardwood looks when you're done! Pictures?

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

Wow CC. That sound awesome. Good job on the ride. I'm afraid I won't be keeping up this weekend. Something's not right so I'm taking some extra time off training.

I'll be sending you vibes all week to get ready for the big ride!!

I just saw "Menopause, the musical" with my mom. Oh, man, I laughed so hard! It was great fun! If you get the chance (and if you are of a certain age) go see it!

Hey, guys! Uh... gals! I cannot believe TD is well into the 10,000s on posts. Whew. It seems like just yesterday that we passed 5,000...sniff...how the time flies, especially when I disappear for months!

I'm doing OK. Had a tough week, put one of my cats to sleep when he got very sick, very fast. Isaac was 15 years old, and the sweetest, lovingest little guy. So it's back to me and Ariel, who's 17, and seems pretty healthy, if a bit creaky.

Things are good with J. and me, for those who remember. Never enough time to spend together. We're going to Italy for a week in 25 days (yes, counting the days), and I realized that, as excited as I am about Rome, where I've never been, I'm most excited about us getting to spend uninterrupted time together. So I'm figuring that's a good thing. :)

The other day he said, "So, when you ride your bike, where do you go?" And I thought, "honey, I go hard and fast, and I doubt you can keep up with me...", but what I said was, "Oh, there are some cool trails in the forest preserves, and the south lake front path is great..." At present it's horribly icy and sleety around here, and *I* am not getting on a bike yet. I do see some brave souls out there, no matter the weather, and I'm truly impressed. When it does warm up enough around here, it will be great to go out riding, both together and alone.

CC--really impressive!

Salsa--I can't believe you're still hotelling it! :eek: Whew. How are the cats?

Trek--congrats on whatever you passed--I'm going to have to read back and find it!

OK, back to work here at the Baby Factory...greetings to all! :D L.

Lise, sooo good to "see" you! I'm sorry to hear about your fur-kid.

So J. wants to start cycling with you? That man wants to keep up with you, never underestimate the motivation, he may catch up.

The test saga on page 691, thanks for the congrats.

There's a baby factory? Who knew. Do they give factory tours with free samples at the end? Is there an outlet store with seconds in Vacaville?

Knott, if you like the musical you'll be humming the tunes and tapping your toes for the real thing :p ;) :cool:

Trek!
I had no idea there was a factory either. Here I go, I know real well about doin' it the home-made way but factories? Where's the quality control? Does that explain kids these days?
Oh...
From what I hear, you don't want seconds...
I'm gonna opt out ALL TOGETHER thanks :D
but I'll keep practicing just the same :D


Lise- Glad to see you again, Ms baby-catcher-extraordinare. Missed you lots!

Trek, you are so damn funny.

Lise! How nice to see you! I'm sorry about your cat. Our vet tells us that Beeper will go like that one of these days, but so far she is actually doing quite well. She is getting only two subcutaneous fluid treatments a week, her kidney numbers are all stable so far, and she is thinner but back to being very much her yakkity, petting-demanding, head-butting self. And Nina's doing fairly well too. I do think the house stuff has been pretty hard on them and I'm hoping we'll get those guys OUT of there soon. The house is close to done. I guess. It's costing a terrifying amount but it is really beautiful, and I will post pics soon.

I can't wait to hear about your Italy trip. It is delightful to hear from you. When we went to Rome, we by accident found Via de Coronari (I think that's it), which is a whole street of antique dealers, and that night they were all open and having a street sale. It was fabulous! I think that may be a regular event, so you might want to check it out. The Pantheon is one of the loveliest buildings I have ever seen. And the Vatican museum....bibblebabble. I'm glad you're well.

PS The latest house thrill was last night. We were at the hotel, about 15 miles north, when our neighbor called to say that the fumes from the hardwood floor finish had set off the new smoke/CO alarms. We called 911 to say, hey, we have malfunctioning alarms so if someone reports our house, please know there's no emergency. The fire guys said, okay, we'll note it in the system, but the police on the line said, no, you have to go turn it off because if anyone reports in we have to respond. So we got to drive back down, go on the newly finished floor in our socks, in a house that STANK like rubbing alcohol, and pull all the batteries and turn off the circuit breaker. Then drove back here. Yes, welcome to the world of snails and adventure...

LISE!!!!!!!

Oh, it's sooooo good to see you again!:D :D :D

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Lise}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} sorry you've lost one of your fur kids. I'll ask Yogi dog to greet her and show her around the rainbow bridge. Nice to see you again, though!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

Today's B'fast: juevos rancheros and coffee.

After church I'll be setting up the crock pot for vichysoisse. Now if I could only get some brave sous-chef to chop the onions for me....

Dinner will be vichysoisse and a sorghum beer. Weather looks like it might be a good afternoon for a bike ride, so y'all go riding and then come over for dinner, ok?

hi lise!!!

good to hear from you! sorry to hear about your loss.
have fun on your trip. and remember stories and pics are a must! :)

I thought that kind of job was exactly what sons were for, Knot...

*waves at Lise*

Hi Lise! Been wondering what you were up to... and whether you were braving the ILlinois Weather...

watchin' the Oscars.

Family is being well represented: Ellen, Melissa, Jodie. (oh, and let's not forget Tammi, who got kissed on national television!)

Is it just me, or was Travolta's comment somewhat tasteless?

What did he say? I missed it..

Is Jodie official? I thought she was just rumoured.

Unfortunately, I can't watch the Oscars, no TV. I'm sooooooo out of touch. So I have no idea what Travolta said about Melissa. But I'm ready to kick his azz. I love Melissa.

He made a snarky comment about full-figured women singing on the Oscar stage (after Melissa sang) and then did a little f*ggy wiggle and said "But enough about me."

I dunno, it just seemed stupid and a bit rude.

(Jodie is officially unofficial, but everyone assumes.)

JT is soooooo dead if he ever sets foot in my neighborhood.

She's officially rumored. But she's always made my Gay'dar go "ding ding ding ding" but don't go by me, my gay'dar doesn't work.

Suze Orman always set my Gay'dar off and now she's official, so maybe it does work.

Apparently, JT is in a movie in which he dresses as a full-figured woman....it hasn't come out yet. Maybe that's what he was refering to. I hope so, I usually think he's a pretty nice guy.

thanks for the link! now it makes sense. Gee, if you didn't know he'd been doing Hairspray, it sure did look like he was snarking at Melissa Etheridge!

Happy Birthday, CWR!!! :D

Happy Birthday to You! Cha, Cha, Cha
Happy Birthday to You! Cha, Cha, Cha
Happy Birthday Dear CWR
Happy Birthday to You! Cha, Cha, Cha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CWR!!! :cool: :D :cool: :D

Jodie who? I'm so not in the loop:p I watched about 10 minutes last night. It just doesn't interest me.

Sending virtual chocolate cake to you CWR - yummy!@!!

Jodie Foster... and I thought she was totally out a few years ago? Hmmm. :rolleyes:
I know how you feel Dar, I never watch "regular" tv anymore these days. I was forced to watch the Oscars last night however. That may be the first time ever that I've seen a whole one. I can do without the whole red carpet part though. :o Ellen was a great hostess too I thought. I did love the people behind the light screen making shadow pictures with their bodies. :cool:
As for the comment, yeah Knot, I took it as him busting on his character in his new movie coming out.

Well, made more progress today on upcoming events. WOW. So much to think about and setup ahead of time. Anyway, thanks to my sisters for all their support and guidance. It really means a lot. :D

Have a super day and be safe.
