(((((((hugs/positive vibes)))))) to ya Knotted! I used to play a little wheelchair basketball with Jean Driscoll (Boston Marathon winner) and she kicked my able-bodied butt routinely.
Drift...Living in Tucson now and it ROCKS!!!!!!!!
You so don't need MS for that to apply. Unless maybe I have it as well. Hmm. :rolleyes:Quote:

biked to work today, ran into C. at the BART station, she's a gal I once dated. It was actually quite nice, we've stayed good friends. Found we're better at that. It was good to see her and it would not have happened but for the bike.
Queen, you're only 135 miles from Iron Mommy! Practically neighbors! Luckies!!
Queen, you could ride there! or meet halfway?
Bloody hell. I went for a 3.8km run today. :rolleyes: (I love Gmaps Pedometer.)
Pleased to hear Tucson is rocking, Queen. I was wondering where you'd been - had kinda forgotten about the whole moving thing. :p
BWAAAAHAAAAAA... aren't you the funny one! Since I've ridden about 25 miles at one time ONCE I don't think I'm quite up to 65+ miles. :pQuote:

yes, I am the funny one, thank you! :)
But before wasn't your excuse that there was nothing to see?
I'd totally ride 70 miles to meet someone halfway! That'd be so exciting!!
How do you only meet half a person?
I guess it'd be a 135 mile round trip, though. Didn't think of that. That's a little far...
which half pedals out to meet you? should I divide myself along the vertical or horizontal line?
and is there chocolate at the meeting point?
Oh stop this, now I'm humming "All of me, why not take all of me?" in the background.
Send the half that will share the chocolate.
I can totally vouch for that! :DQuote:

Why is it that everytime I watch the eagle that he's laying down. I never get to see the eggs!
SadieKate "Send the half that will share the chocolate"
Of course! the other half never leaves sight of the chocolate.
You're right. Eagles are so lazy. All they ever do is lie there!
It's hard to believe they snag a fish without effort. Maybe they are just resting up ;)
Went to my friendly local body piercer (Top Tattoo in Shoreline WA) to get my nose ring adjusted. It was set up loose when I was pierced to give room for swelling and healing. Darn thing's been spinning around on me and irritating the heck out of my dainty nostril. A good sign, actually.
The dude took the ring out and it HURT. Worse than getting pierced! He bent it a bit and put it back in and it HURT AGAIN. Dang!
Now I gotta do my salt water soaks, and hope I can get it in and out by myself on Monday. (no metal in the MRI)
Rather ironic, as the nose-pierce was my celebration of 10 years cancer free.
I gave piercer dude (who had a cute baby-**** assistant) $5. His time and knowlege are valuable to me. So, how much to tip if he has to put the ring back in for me on Monday? What is the etiquette here?
WWMMD? (What would Miss Manners do?)
And do we have baby eagles yet?
Whoa! I got censored! I didn't type those ****.
Very strange. I mean, if you're not Greek and from the Isle of Lesbos, what word DO you use?
I ain't Greek.
OK, she was "baby-Sapphic".
Piercer dude talked me out of buying a hoop shaped ring for my nose, cuz the piercing is so high up (due to the cartilage) that I'd need a HUGE ring to reach around the cartilage of my schnoz. Genetics has precluded my frolicking in the wonderful world of hoops!
But nose-bones and spikes, well...
Ah, the saga continues.
Hmmm, I didn't know **** was a bad word. I wonder if you used an incorrect spelling if it would have gotten *ed. I wonder if the *ing is automatic?
Anyway, I was thinking the baby-**** was a male, so I'm glad you had to restate that.
Could you sue a titanium or niobium dealy in your nose? I'm allergic to nickel, which is in practically everything, so I'm limited to that, or PTFE.
I don't believe we are all going to die from Teflon poisoning.
I think the lazy eagles eat a lot of carrion.
And why is mom so hot all the time? Isn't the temp like 50F or something??
I'm still stumped on what the bad word is!
V.
If I'm right, it rhymes with bike!
Thanks! I hate being clueless. Probably gets censored because some people would find it offensive - not the folks in Holland though.
Have you seen the brown paper bag covering some socks here at TE?
V.
Wouldn't that be "byke"? :DQuote:

Right, those probably wouldn't be censored if they didn't have that name...
"Still stumped on the bad word"
I'm sure it was automatically censored. It was dee why kay ee.
The term baby-**** is used affectionatly by those of us who remember how horribly difficult it was (or impossible) to be "out" when we were teenagers, when we are describing a teenager of today's more permissive society.
Queen "Wouldn't that be "byke"? :D"
does that make me a dike on byke? :confused: around here we've used "bats for the other team" so I never knew about the *'s, or could use the ever popular "she wears sensible shoes". :)
Are Sidis sensible? If they are I want 'em.
How're we going to talk about flooding on the Danube now?
Don't worry knotted, think it won't let you call anyone Richard Head either for example.
wondering if friendly local body piercer can be abrivieted as friendly LBP? :confused:
Ah, kids these days, sounds of Trek feebly tottering over "you kids have it so easy. Why back in my day when I was your age, had to ride 130 miles through the snow to watch Ellen, and we could only watch her in a paper bag in the middle of the road..." Not to make light of it, was pretty difficult when I was a kid, still is some places...
Drifting back to your normal random thread....
Yo, sugar, isn't "dike on a byke" what it says in yer profile?:D
When I had a BikeE, I went by the monniker "DykeE on a BikeE"
Now, the only thing I can think of that makes a nice rhyme with "Kona" just doesn't work. Eh-hem.
Need a nice name for my bike. Me, I got a name...
Which makes me think of a VERY naughty t-shirt I saw once: Remember my name, you'll be screaming it later.
took me several minutes to get it. i can be s l o w at times.
HAH, thought nobody looks at those. ding ding ding, you found the hidden profile pun. You win a duck. :)
Rode to work today and forgot to bring a spare t-shirt. In all the years I've been doing this I've never forgot a change of clothes.
Ever noticed how bike clothes look geekier the further away you are from a bike? Bright pink jersey, sreaming yellow vest, clashing red Team Amici arm skins on a bike-makes sense in a safety concious cycling kinda way.
3' away from your bike? Odd, but there's the bike, your a cyclist.
30' away, wandering around the store or worse, seated in a cube at your desk...whah? :eek: couldn't stand it and at lunch went to the gym and got a shirt, pink hoody type number.
S.O. knows about the MRI. Let's talk about lack of support, shall we?
I can't believe I drank all this beer... one of the downsides to living alone. Or is it an upside? I don't have to share my Red Hook ESB. Good, bad, or indifferent?
Had a lovely salad for dinner. My dog (Bean, as in "Coffee Bean" cuz he looked like one all curled up in the cage at the Humane Society when he was a puppy) adores caesar salad dressing, so I let him lick the plate when I was done.
What is it about our critters, that they can make us feel so loved?
My beautiful bike is sitting in my living room. Very pretty.

Happy Dance!
After all those brevets, I wasn't sure that you understood the concept of "a little far..." ;)Quote:

In my experience, bad treatment is not limited to one gender. The abusive ex in my story is a woman; I stayed with her through years of maltreatment. Some of the worst happened around my own surgeries and physical pain. She could be loving and supportive one minute, and screaming at me for not having made dinner the next. It felt so crazy that I just kept holding on, hoping that the woman who loved me would "come back". You know the upshot--I finally left, and now I'm free.
I am glad you are going for the MRI. Knowledge is power. Be well and know that you are not alone. Lise
Hey, Kona,
Sorry about the jerk. But better to know she's a jerk sooner than later. Hmmm, somewhere here there's a thread on the advantages of cycling single. Being able to drink all the beer was not listed. ;)
Go for the MRI, wear your wool shorts if you wanna. And big hugs and lots of Caesar salad with crunchy garlic croutons for your dog. You're a good person for rescuing a dog. What kind of dog? Does Bean like the anchovies?
I better get moving, 4 hours till ride meet-time. I could not have slept in if I wanted to, my mutt woke me up.
thanks in advance Bikerz for arranging this.
What a freaking rip-off! :eek: It costs £350 in the UK, but if you do a currency conversion from the US price, you get around £220! :eek: :eek: :eek:
yes, bikes are less expensive but if you lived here you'd have to pay for health care :) :cool: ;) ... drifts off to pump the tires and grab some gu dodges outa the way of ensuing possible drift towards debate of health care issues.
Well, the NHS may be free, but... :rolleyes:
