What the hell are you talking about???? What thread about a dog? About a water cooler??
Just back from 30 mile ride. Have errands to run, like getting SS things that have to go far away- she'll probably get them for Christmas, SORRY! I tried to do better this month, I really did...But I need a nap. BF is working till 11PM. I wish I had a good movie to watch. Maybe just some Gray's Anatomy Season One for the fourth time.
Whaaa....? Jeez, you sleep 5 hours, run 7 miles, eat some crepes, go to Target, and TE goes berzerk! I'll go check out this thread, if it still exists.
.....................
And yes, BZ, much fireworks. No action. But I'm such a north sider...I didn't see much eye candy at the Sox game. :rolleyes: Only a Chicagoan could get that, and a south sider would henceforth never speak to me again. I'm banking on no south side Chicago gals here....or...yikes! :p
wow i don't check this thread in a few hours and it exploded! you guys were busy while i was sleeping.
climate and people. i'm happy with where i went.Quote:

snap - good luck. i'm sure you'll find out soon about the upgrade. until then dont forgit to BREATH! i think we should just get together for a drink, i'm sure that would make it lots better!
fish - with gov't travel have they cracked down on you with what you can take? we keep getting emails adding to the addional things we can or can not do with regular restrictions. by the time i travel again, it will be completely different. glad i live in the bush, no airport security here. going anywhere else, i dread it.
nanci - go back and buy all the wine you can. i was really jealous reading about it, so i think you should go back and enjoy more for me too. (and i have no idea about this water cooler thing either.)
crazycanuck - i added you on hotmail. i don't use it much, more yahoo, but i added you.
phew! i think i caught up on everything. if not. oh well....
Nanci - it's in Open Topic, about 8 or 9 down right now. 34 views, 0 replies (Thank goodness. don't reply. that's what trolls want). very disgusting. I'm amazed Jeff hasn't nuked it already. Will more folks hitting the spam alert get it removed sooner?
Man, and look at all the flack from my sig "Gay rights don't threaten my marriage, it's those straight women sleeping with my husband." That was from a New Yorker cartoon, fer goodness sakes. Meanwhile that nasty man-masterbates-dog post keeps sailing along....
EEEWW!! Well, I would really hate to be sensored, and I think we do a good job of not causing that to happen, (except for your sig- that was weird) but that dog story, out of nowhere?
TROLL!!
It's not like buying two more bottles of really great wine is going to kill me...There were only one more of each on the shelf...Probably should taste them first, but I've NEVER met a dessert wine I didn't love. Not like- love.
I am so weak...I am going to buy the Zero X right this second if it is still on sale.
Bye!
I can't get to the Terry site, is it a sign???
I don't know. But it does not "feel" like a girl to me. Girls don't talk about "around the water cooler", do we? That's what guys do...anyway. It's a gross post, and I hope they pull it soon. Sigh. Thread Drift wasn't started as a "talk about inappropriate and rude stuff here" thread. And I have a feeling that if somebody started to post such things here, we'd isolate and eject them pretty quickly.Quote:

Oh, but wait, then I'd be a crazy middle aged cat woman nut case. OK. Never mind. :rolleyes:

fishdr--I love the idea of BikerZ meeting at the airport with a sign saying Team Danger Mouse . Although. She might end up face down on the tile with armed guys questioning her...on the other hand...a more benign sign might be in order.

I cannot imagine flying without lipbalm or eye drops. I'm going into business selling q-tips with vaseline on them, one at a time, for $5 each, right after security. Whatdya think? Millionaire in a week? ;)

Nanci, the stories about your DD are so sweet. I really love the walking in and sitting down at the first house on the trick or treat route. Maybe she saw their big bowl of candy, and said, "I'm good right here!" Sorry about the smoking thing. That one is so tough to watch.
Dill used to like to help type- he'd go running across the keyboard. I'd always just leave it in.
Still can't get to Terry...
Just a sign to keep trying, sister! I have my Zero X, got it through LBS with my gift certs, haven't had any time to even put it on the bike. We can try them out together and compare notes.Quote:

You just reminded me that it's August, and time to order my Terry Bolero!!
I ordered two Ibex wool t-shirts (a pink Q-T and a lavender Agate T) and a pair of Chaco fisherman sandals I can wear at work.
Oh, and I just bought a steel Waterford bike.
Dang, I gotta stop this computer-purchasing stuff!
Edit: oh, and airplane tickets! I also bought airplane tickets this week off the computer! Geeeez, Louise!!
Terry's server is definitely down. :( I am buying it from them because of the return policy. Or I should say the satisfaction guaranteed policy.
Knotted, what bike did you get?? What color?

apropos of nothing (as befits TD), I got a stand for my exercise ball. I have a fairly small apartment, and the danged thing rolls all over. Almost fell over it coming out of the bedroom this morning. If I wedge it somewhere, like in a closet, I forget about altogether. I don't use it enough as it is!
My niece and nephew LOVE to play with it when they come over. One day my nephew found my little free weights, and was really craving some of his own. I don't know that his folks will be thrilled, but tomorrow I'm giving him a small exercise ball and two 3# weights for his 7th b-day. In the aisle at Target, I saw this stand. It's a plastic ring you snap together. What a boon. Now the thing will stay put, and it will be easier to use it, too. I don't like all that rolling around when I'm lying on it!
Nanci - It's Limewave's, she had it for sale in the "For Sale" forum. I just about hurt my self typing madly to send her a PM. It's my size and everything! And I can pick it up when I'm in the midwest at Christmas!

I really have to stop buying stuff now. (until I get the Waterford... hee hee! She'll need some Frogs and a Brooks and seat bag and...)
That's such a great deal, I think you should be allowed to spend the savings!!!
Ooooh Nanci! Bad! That's a dangerous thing to tell a madwoman with a new bike! I'll not take responsibility! AAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!:eek:
hehehe
oooh. So DPITA actually remembered that she'd told me she'd get me that Brooks saddle as an early B-day present (um... 5 mos early?) so that's awesome. =) It was funny, saying "Honey, the ladies on the forum have had them close to 30 years. I mean... $67 investment for 30 years of enjoyment... if you wanted, I could give you two bucks a year for it!"
She said "That's silly. You're not even 30 yet! How would you know anything about 30 year old saddles?!" :confused: weird?
Someone's a little sensitive that 3-0 is getting closer every year. *huf* she needs to know I think she's beautimus the way she is, and I probably couldn't understand/mesh with her the way I do if she were 21. =P
Knotted--- DPITA won't kill you for the bike, etc? I want pics when you finally get her. I'm thinking of a black leather saddle bag for miss Cakes... the rough mtb meets smooth leather and functionality look... *sighs* I'm a nerd. At least you ladies understand me!:p
"It's a gross post, and I hope they pull it soon. Sigh. Thread Drift wasn't started as a "talk about inappropriate and rude stuff here" thread. And I have a feeling that if somebody started to post such things here, we'd isolate and eject them pretty quickly. "
I'm with you on that Lise and everyone else! I'm pretty new here and couldn't believe what I was reading. :mad:
PS - how do you do that quote thing where you get a blue box?
Man, I go to work for a moment, take a break and all heck's broken out on TD. I'd better stop working :p

Kitsu - DPITA doesn't *know* about the Waterford, cuz DPITA isn't *here*.
What she doesn't know won't hurt me...
Bruno - I don't know how to do the blue box quote either, so I'm ready to learn, too.
Teach us, someone!
Oooh, thanks. Now i know!

The water cooler thread is still there??? Why! That's nasty. I agree - must be a guy. It's not worded right to be a woman. Trolls...
Lise - sounds like you're having a full weekend so far! Get on the bike, will you? I can't wait to hear how you like the Zero X! I hope it works for you!
Nanci - did you buy it yet? I hope you saw my post about the TE return policy.
Knotted - very cool about the Waterford! She's purty!
At the pool party, one of our friends gave FishJr a hand-me-down Easy-Bake oven. It's pink - she's so excited. Everything must be pink these days. She and her dad are at the store buying mixes for it right now. Oh my - we're going to have an interesting night!
D'OH! I just got my new tires in and need slimmer tubes in 'em! GRRRRAAARGH!
gotta go to the bike shop. Oh, Darn.
Knotted- Well... the best part of arguing is making up!
(it's hard to stay mad at me long, so that's how I get away with the gross amts of stuff I do!):D

Bought a cool mug thing for SS, and some drinkable stuff, and spent $40 on potholders/oven mitts and some reversable silicon wedged stirrer dealy in a gorgeous olive/apple green. The four potholders/mitts are all different but matching patterns.
I _barely_ resisted buying two Portmerion Botanic Garden food/water dishes for Dill, mainly I am afraid to say because my favorite had a slight chip...Someday I will get them for him. I think they are really creme brulee cups.
I should make creme brulee. I think all you need is eggs, vanilla and sugar...
I just ordered it, and they're still in stock. I was just glad for the reminder. I've been wanting one since spring!Quote:

Slept pretty well for 2 hr, and still don't start call for 5.5 hr. I'm going down to put on the Zero X, and take a shortish ride. :D
I wonder if she has it installed yet??? Okay, yeah it was only a couple of minutes, but I'm not that patient.
FJ has made her first cookies in the Easy Bake Oven. Ooh yum. She had lots of fun with it! She even let her little brother stir the icing.
I think I'll stick with the homemade brownies from the other night.
winddance- see my avatar? See the dashing Terry Bolero? (Over the Terry Presta Tank!) I LOVE my Bolero.
Site still down. I forgot to mention, during my ride today, the Pres of the cycling club had his first ever crash, right in front of me, and I didn't hit him!! He touched wheels with someone who was accordioning. He's ok.
In other news, though, an A rider had a stick go through his wheel last weekend and endo-ed over the front and smashed out his front teeth!!! Yowch!! He's ok, too, except for the teeth.
Nanci, I'm not having any trouble with the Terry site, is that the site you're talking about?
So pretty. I have the feeling this is going to be one of my favorite pieces of cycling clothing. I have arm warmers but I'm not a huge fan of all that elastic. Now I just need to find myself a good pair of knickers, and I'll be set. (until I find something else I "need"...)
That's so strange that you can't get to the Terry site, when I ordered my bolero earlier today!
i checked on the terry websight and i can get into it also.
