Thread Drift

I found this on the commuting thread:

"passivate to preserve our arguer and wheedle.
Her precarious driveler rewords faster.
We hold this oppressor to be self-evident -- that all cogs are created
heavy.grab

Botchiest Binh Do joyously sliver the intolerability and fast ramble my
sanctimonious musing.
Anthony Reategui likes his balmier biped, because it fraternizes his
kinder pathogenesis.
Two phlegmons are better than one. But many divertissements spoil the
pluralist. And a rolling incalculability gathers no osmosis.
Thom Werthmann arborize to rejoice with Cecilia Nordenstam, until Arash
Ghaneian shoot it up"

K.............

There's a link to some online poker site in there.

beta--is that really what those 100 chimps on 100 word processors would produce?

About match.com--I have encountered some very strange people. Most of the guys I've met have been fine, just not for me. My favorite email was from a guy in Wichita who felt I would be the perfect mother to his 9 year old daughter, and when he got back from arranging his dead wife's affairs in Africa, could he contact me? ... NO! tippity, tappity, block!

Really wet again today. Did you ride in?

Negative on the ride in. I did yesterday, thinking the rain had gone bye-bye. Got soaked on my way home. I'm in normal clothing for school today. My 9am professor won't recognize me. I rarely have time to change before that class, so I'm always in bike attire :D

Wow, Witchita guy sounds like a real catch! Not.

If this rain lets up I can take Sloane out for a test ride. Tomorrow is looking promising. I have class all day today anyway. Kinda sucky that it's raining on your vacation. :(

Finally, there was a Wine WOOT I couldn't resist...

Salsa, I almost took a picture of Choco last night when we were watching TV. He was just cuddled up in my hand. Then he'd do this thing where he'd be crawling around my hand, then fall, but catch himself by curling his tail around my finger at the last possible second. I can hardly put him down. I almost took him outside with Dill and the torts yesterday afternoon, but I resisted...

Nanci

fish - what a little twit that woman who made the offer was!! she's one of the dixie chicks, right? grr.

Lise, maybe he just doesn't hang on the computer all the time...How long has it been?

Twit indeed - however........ she called me this AM with the right price! She came up to where we wanted! OMG - I've sold my house! We're going to sign the contract tonight. Wahoo! She's in the dixie chick clan. All that much more satisfying ;) heh heh

Exciting about the bike fit! I know you'll enjoy that!

We head to LA (the state, not the city) tomorrow afternoon to start our quest for a house.

Now all we need is for Roux to miraculously recover and all will be well. Still no lab results back.

I made oatmeal cookies last night (with lots of chocolate chips in them). Today is our day to provide snacks for FishJr's class.

Congratulations, Fish!

Hey guys--I cleared all my "cookies" in an (no-doubt vain) attempt to make my computer work better, and now TE didn't recognize me! Got that one fixed.

Nanci, that is so cute about Choco curling himself around your finger. Could he then pull himself back up into your hand, or would he just hang there? It's been two days since I wrote to Mr. WI. I know he does something in state gov't, and yesterday was an election day. If I don't hear from him by tonight, I'll drop him another line and then leave it be.

beta, I am so sorry you rode in yesterday. It was a torrential downpour yesterday afternoon, people. I'm hoping, beta, that you got home before 6:15, when the heavens really opened. It does suck that it's raining on my vacation, but it's making me get some things done at home, too. S'posed to be great tomorrow and Friday, and I plan to be outside!

I went to a mentor/mentee breakfast at the hospital today. The idea is to help new nurses adjust to their new role without freaking out. One (or more?) of them will pick me to mentor them through their orientation. Good grief. Match.com AND speed dating at work? :rolleyes:

Hip's still hurting, but less. I'm going for a massage this afternoon.

I'm going to try really reducing the amount of wheat in my diet, see what effect it has on my GI tract and energy. I bought some Kamut bread and some Millet bread at Whole Paycheck, uh, Foods today. Also some very flat, very heavy "bagels" of some non-wheat stuff. MWBR.

MP--bike fitting?!? Does this mean you can start riding again? (We need a fingers crossed icon). And I remember that you were going to be involved in a case where opposing council would be your DH's ex...right? Has that happened yet?

knotted, your squeak reminds me of my old horseback riding days. I bought a new leather saddle (western style) for my horse. It was custom made for me.
I put it on my horse and it squeaked every which way.

I took it home and put leather treatment everywhere. got rid of the squeaks and impressed all my friends.

btw, that's a really LIGHT BIKE you're buying

Yes, Lise, he can pull himself back up. But he's perfectly comfortable to just hang there, too.

I'm not sure I'd write WI again or not...

This is how it went, right? He wrote, you were taking a break, you wrote to say you were off your break, he wrote, you wrote, he disappeared?

I sure met some losers on match.com

Like the guy who said he looked like Sting (yeah, right) who was mean to a waitress on our first date (of two) who neglected to mention that he actually wasn't divorced.

Or the guy who couldn't take me out to dinner because he had to buy his daughter a house, so came to my house and had a huge ****-attack in the bathroom and didn't clean it up!!

Or the guy who said he loved me on the first date (of two) who wanted to get married and settle down, who kept asking me if I still loved my old BF, causing me to burst into tears.

Or the guy who revealed he was cheating Workers Comp by faking a back injury, who had a daughter who slept on the floor of his room, who told me the story of his ex wife who was in jail for coke who was great in bed and would "cxxx so many times the sheets would be wet!" TMI TMI TMI!!!!!!! I later found out that my roommate went out on a date with a chick who went out on a date with wet sheets guy, and did both of them, my roommate and wet sheets on the first date! My small town began to seem a little incestuous...

Or the really boring movie guy.

Or the really weird Starbucks guy.

Or the super hot but way too young guy that I _think_ I had a date with on September 11th, that never called me back.

Yep, Nanci, you've got it right, and yep, I should not be writing him again. Man, I think the terrorists still owe you for that 9/11 date. I stand in awe of your sheer number of wierdo dates. I feel fatigued by the process. I am going to lie down. Where's Peter Reid when I need him? :p

Actually, I didn't even write to say I was off my break. He saw my profile active again, wrote me:

Hi,

We e-mailed awhile ago, and then you mentioned you were going to take a break from Match. How are you doing?

Lee

I replied two days ago, and he's disappeared.

I miss coffee. I may have a cup with 1/2 decaf as an experiment and see if the PVCs really are worse.

Fish, congrats! Glad that lady got her head on straight! What does "Dixie Chick" mean as a perjorative? (I like the Dixie Chicks' latest album. Quite a bit.)

had a huge ****-attack? I know this is too much information, i can only think of HEART attack which is 5 letters.

My husband proposed to me on date #2.. I made him wait a month before I said yes and we were married 2 months later. It has been 29 years.
