I did the 64 mile ride with my sister. No problems with the water--there were patches of it on Edgar or Liners or whatever that road was, but it was easily avoided by just staying in the center of...

I've pretty much lived most of my life along the east coast--Baltimore, DC, and North Carolina. What I notice from one place to the next is trees and hills. All of the locations where I've lived...
Yes! It's hard to read the description without adding the word "evil" in front of "mastermind."
INTJ - "Mastermind". Introverted intellectual with a preference for finding certainty. A builder of systems and the applier of theoretical models.
I've taken various versions of this test many...
My parents had this problem with mail being delivered to their home intended for my deadbeat brother (who had apparently intentionally left no forwarding address when he moved from one apartment to...
I remember that they told me my kids' blood type in the hospital when they were newborns, so your pediatrician should have that information. If not, don't bother; as others have said, they would run...
I think the other thing that plays into this (didn't we discuss this recently? I'm having some deja-vu going on here) is that women tend to have more responsibility for child care, so they are the...
I freakin' hate my car. My commute today: DH needed the good car (normally he works from home so this isn't much of an issue) so my choices were to take the unreliable car or ride my bike. I've...
Vinegar in the rinse cycle helps clear away the soap scum from clothes. Also takes away lingering odors and acts as a fabric softener. Good stuff.
I've got a small seat bag with an extra tube, patch kit, etc. For most rides I just have that and stick my i.d., phone, and a snack of some sort in my jersey pockets. But I also have a rack on my...
OK. I'll jump in. I'm 5'6" and currently 140 and I generally wear a size 10, although sometimes a 12 depending on the brand, and generally a medium. Athletic clothing I need to buy larger--always a...
I'm loving reading some of these stories!
DH and I met at Pennsic, a huge medieval re-creation event. We were at a party and he was trying to pick up my sister while a guy he was with was trying...
I remember being a bit obsessed with whether or not I could "pinch an inch" back when those ads were on. Mind you, I was about 100 pounds at the time and so thin my mother encouraged me to put ON...
Susan, that is awesome! The Garmin glitch, that is, not the fire. Looks like one of the satellites went on its own little field trip. Wheeee! Any word back from Garmin yet?
Definitely earthworms, not caterpillars. I've seen caterpillars swarm like that before (and, ewww, pantry moth larvae in my kitchen once). I'm going to ask the father of one of my girl scouts about...
16 miles Friday, 33 today, both in the early, early morning to get out ahead of the heat. It was still humid as all-get-out but only in the 80's and into the 90s by the time I made it home (and...
I switched her this weekend from her old bike to my Townie because she had outgrown her old bike. At 5'4" she really needs an adult sized bike, and the Townie is infinitely adjustable while also...
I did 30 miles on Saturday (found a nice route from home to the airport trail, so now I can start adding mileage by looping around the airport) and ten miles Sunday with my daughter. I'm attempting...
I've been getting up and riding or running at 5:30. It sucks, but at least the heat isn't too bad. This morning it was 90 degrees on my porch when I returned from my ride just before 7 a.m....
And how many of those boys were wearing plaid at the time?
Seems to be a popular style with the boys these days (at least around here)--plaid shorts and striped (seriously, I'm not making this up)...
This is the first Bike to Work Day that I've missed in several years (well, I'm not missing work--just the biking part). DH took a job with bad hours and a bad commute, so my day now revolves around...
I have a gym at work with showers, but never use it (at least not after cycling to work). I carry a ziplock bag with baby wipes in it and wipe down with them when I change into work clothes.
I cry at parades. My mother used to do the same thing and we all thought she was weird, but somewhere in my 20's I started having the same reaction! The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will do it a...
Pity they didn't include the planned bike path along the ICC! But yeah, I wouldn't want to do that commute by bike either. Or by car, for that matter. That's the other side of Columbia for me--I...
I was going to say "I'm fortunate to live in an area where the roads are pretty good and the drivers are pretty considerate" and then I saw that I live in your area! It's really not that bad out...
