Kit, you're pretty dang funny. And quick, for so late at night. girl, I am falling asleep at the keyboard here.

actually, more gets revealed. The old old old skort has a complete overlap, so you have 2 layers in the front from hip to hip. (an overlap of a foot or so) The new one has an overlap of about 4 inches. Take a step, your leg plays peekaboo.

Actually, that could work to my advantage... ;)

the smaller size fits much better.

(BTW, I had to drop down another size on my Levis. Yessssss! But I still weigh 150 lbs. i don't get it. but I look *fine* so who cares!)

MWBR on how the skort works on the bike. Flossie likes it already.

Quick? I'm at work- I *have* to still be sharp. ;)

Careful, you use that skort to your advantage too much and you'll have poor Seattlites biking into trees and other stationary objects (I know from personal experience... not the advantage, the biking into things...)
and you're probably just maintaining weight in muscle mass, the same way I'm gaining weight but my pants are all getting a little looser.

I am making my current student memorize the six venomous snakes of Florida for his evaluation. It's pretty amusing seeing how many times I can bring that topic up in a day at work, and have him try to recite the list. Just one more way to make my job interesting.

No, I haven't seen American Flyers.

I _would_ like to see House from the beginning. I've just caught bits and pieces of it. That's all I need is another series to be addicted to. Currently I am into Reno 911, The Shield, Oz, Grey's Anatomy, and there's one more I can't think of...Oh, Nip/Tuck.

Nanci-tell me more about The Shield and Oz as i've never head of these two shows.

Why does the young man need to learn the 6 venomous snakes of Florida? Would you treat them after they'd been admitted?? How is your current student doing?

I too have not seen Breaking Away...I saw American Flyers years ago ..

Annie-I sure hope the kitty's ok. BTW-how do you manage with twins??? Also, is your hubby running for governor?

Brina-where in Canada did you visit?

I came home tonight and found a new mini stereo, wine glasses, regular glasses and a pot/pan set on my table-just a small gift from my dad whilst here.

Oh, my ss package arrived today. I knew very little about wisconsin prior to receiving the package. I sat at work working out where wisconsin was & was perty close too!!!

Off to bed

Welcome back Brina and enjoy the wine. :)

Yes, I have identical twins, they will be 12 in a month. My oldest recently turned 14.
My oldest is my running partner, I love running with him, and he is often embarrassed to be runninng with his mom. :eek: We did manage a 2 mile cross country terrain run in 13:02! Okay, not fast for many, but I was very proud of myself. :D
Now I need to figure out how to get him to run on the road with me, rather then up and down hills and over tree branches, etc.,. I really want to work toward a tri.

Okay, I just cannot get into House. My problem is an odd one. I have watched Hugh Laurie (House) on British tele for so long, that whenever I see his character as "House" I see Bertie Wooste, from Jeeves & Wooster instead or the pampered prince from Black Adder, even his short part in Sense and Sensability. Although usually whenever I see him, my brain automatically "sees" Bertie Wooster. Anyone else like to read any of P.J. Wodehouse's novels?

See how I ramble without coffee? Must go find coffee.

B3--you ran 2 miles in 13 min?! Over rough ground? Wow! Imagine how fast you'd go on asphalt!

CC--where's Wisconsin? Straight north of Chicago, of course! :p

Nanci--you crack me up. Looking forward to getting the package.

I loved Breaking Away. Didn't that come out a fairly long time ago?

And on a sad note...what on earth is going on with this spate of shootings in schools? How incredibly tragic.

Eastern - Ontario province - Trenton and Kingston area. DH's grandfather was born and raised there and was traveling to the US on business when he met dh's grandmother and moved here. The rest of the family is still in Canada and still owns the farm where the family first settled when they immigrated from Scotland. It is fun to go back and see the kids running in the fields where generations of their ancestors have lived and worked.

Venomous snakes have nothing to do with x-ray- I'm just doing my little bit to educate people who are terrified of snakes because they don't know which are and are not dangerous. Here's my lecture:

Coral snake- the red/black/yellow one. Red and black, friend of Jack, red and yellow- kills a fellow. But all you really need to know is there is no scarlet kingsnake here, so if you see a red/black/yellow snake, it's a coral snake.

There are three rattle snakes in FLorida. Everyone knows what a rattler looks like. Timber, Pigmy, and Diamondback.

Copperhead- has a big triangular head.

Cottonmouth/Water Moccasin- if you see a snake in the water, or if a snake chases you- chances are it's this one- leave it alone.

I think if you get bit by anything besides the coral, there's an all-purpose anti-venin. The coral has a different kind of venom. It can potentially cause more damage.

I'll stay right here. No poisonous snakes.

School shootings. Why isn't the whole country outraged? (anybody see "Bowling for Columbine?")

Oh, that is sooooo cool...er...mean. Kinda glad you weren't my CI. (clinical instructor) :D
By the way, what are the 6 on the list? I have a garter snake and his family that live in the corner of my garage every winter. We have an understanding, he keeps to himself and I don't run him over with the car. (Just kidding Nanci... I don't mind snakes, used to play with them when I was a kid.)

I wish I knew what went through people's minds on this stuff. Yesterday, was a bad day here in Lancaster County. I still can't wrap my mind around it.
My Aunt Rebecca called my Mom last night trying to get the "english" point of view. Rebecca is Amish, new order, allowed to have a phone and car - she and her now late husband, Amos, adopted 3 of my cousins when they were babies. So, yeah, I have Amish relatives. It's an incredible culture. (As a matter of fact, both my parents speak PA Dutch - my Dad didn't actually learn English until he went to school. Not Amish, just that was the prevalent farm language back then. I speak just enough to have them "trust me". As I mostly grew up in FL, I'm pretty sure I'm the only Dutch speaking person around here with a slight southern drawl. I still haven't figured out how to say y'all in Dutch. :cool: )
My Mom calls me as soon as I walk out the door of the hospital last night to talk about it all. That woman really likes to rehash stuff until the bitter end. Little did she know I had just had a few "talks" with some of my Amish patients during my shift. Just kinda put me over the edge emotionally. After I hung up, I totally lost it on the way home. Crying jag the whole way.
No matter what this guy thought his reason was, there is just NEVER a reason to EVER hurt children. Such a tragedy.

OK, rant over. Getting off my soapbox now...

Now that I've bummed y'all out... on a lighter note, my bike told me her name this morning on our ride. I guess she felt I could stand a break. So it's... Sweet Pea. She's green and cream colored and I think she's just gorgeous. But, I believe she needs a new saddle. Hers just isn't quite comfy. I guess one one these days I'll get around to posting a pic.

Anyway, thanks for listening and have a wonderful (and safe) day ladies!

Cindy

Wow, Cindy, sounds like a horrible day. I used to do a lot of trauma- 10 years in Minneapolis. Another very bad thing is when a cop gets shot.

Wouldn't you rather be memorizing venomous snakes than doing tap water enemas???

nanci - I saw that as I was shovelling food and coffee into my mouth, and thought it said "tap dancing enemas". I started feeling very sorry for your students just then! :eek:

KnottedYet "thought it said "tap dancing enemas". I started feeling very sorry for your students just then! :eek:"

now there's a mental image I'll try to get outa my head. Ewww.

Ok, dog's been walked, picked up the recycling she artfully arranged in the patio. Off to Dermatologists to have him look at a mole, then to work.
