Welcome back, Silver!
Welcome back Silver. Same old same old for me. Okay, maybe there's been a slight revolving door of bikes.
Dude, I still remember your fairly bitter thread where you announced your name change & the divorce. As I recall, Silver had the decency to not comment on it.Quote:

+1 Cataboo! :cool:
Hi Silver - It's nice to see you posting. It's Velobambina---I'm still wearing those jerseys you hemmed for me!! You did a great job w/them. I get compliments on the lovely necklace you so graciously sent me (you are too talented not to get back into your art---this respite from it will fuel your creativity) .
I'm no longer grinding out 10K miles a year on the bike. After having a scary encounter w/a mentally ill person on the MUT, I've pretty much limited myself to trainer rides (Spinervals). As a consequence, I'm stronger than ever!! Work schedule/responsibilities are such that I cannot both ride outside during daylight hours and swim. The latter is my new passion, and I'm now slogging out lotsa yards in the water (210 miles so far this year).
I sold my MTB, donated one bike, and gave another to a swim pal who is new into triathlons and was slogging it on a hybrid. I'm down to five---thinking about selling another (either my Seven or Bianchi). Find myself wanting to shed possessions as I get closer to 50.
Sounds like you're busy, helping others reach their goals, and doing what you love. That's a good way to have a content, meaningful life. How are your kids?
Four jobs silver? Wow :eek: You're forgiven for not doing more riding...
But I'm sad to hear you're not making any jewelry at the moment. I've never seen any of it, but your silversmithing sounded like a major part of your personality.
Maybe that's all part of the challenge, trying out what it's like to focus on different things and cut down to the essentials, and then come back later to some interests if you have the chance and they still "fit" you.
WELCOME BACK SILVER! You were missed. Get back on your bike and tell us all about it.
SILVER!!!!!!!!!! I missed you! Welcome back! :D
I just wanted to give my welcome as well. I visit everyday but do not post all of the time -so not sure if you remember me or not. Anyhow, you always add to the discussions and make excellent points about most anything.
I hope you new life will allow for you to get back into your jewlery making (or whenever your ready). I remember seeing some examples of your work and it was excellent.
Keep doing those tri's when you can.
Glad your back.

Welcome back, Silver. I can't remember if I had changed my TE name before you dropped off of the forum... if not it's Robyn.
I just (yesterday) finished my Master's in clinical mental health counseling and I am looking for a job. Three years of studying and clinical work. Last year I rode my most miles ever, probably mostly because I rode every week with another TE member once a week, in addition my other rides.
Of course the weather is so crappy this spring, I doubt I will ever get those miles again :mad:.
Welcome back! Hope you get to ride more!
Silver, I am delighted to see you back.
Welcome back. Silver!! :D And I agree, you must find a way to do your creative work. You have a gift. Don't deny us access to the things only you can create, it's not fair of you. :cool: So you've got to find a way. :)
1 year wrap up? Knott and I still doing the long distance thing :( it's tough but we are a strong couple. I had an interview last week when I was up there that I'm cautiously hopefull about (I felt it went really well, got a good vibe from all 3 of the interviewers ... and I did look fabulous if I do say so myself).
So glad you're back, Silver!
Welcome back! It's great to see you here again.
