Once this work is over, I mostly just have to water the flowers. They're almost all perennials and require little care (well, I could put more care into them, but I don't). I am trying to add some...

I love my flower and hosta beds, but boy they're a lot of work this time of year. I've spent the weekend weeding, clipping, planting, cleaning up three years worth of old mulch, and laying fresh...

Too cool, Velo! I can't wait to hear about it in action!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Limewave (and so good to see you; we've missed you).

Interestingly, I have an appointment with a nurse practitioner in mid-June to see where I am hormonally. ...

I am not going this year. I thought about it, but between our trip and my work stuff, my head's not in the game. I've ridden all of once this year (a road ride) as it is. Maybe next year....
...

That's really nice of them. Let us know how it goes.

I have to wonder about their marketing plan. You live in Beaufort, are an avid cyclist and a regular participant on a Women's cycling forum, and yet you didn't know about the ride until it was...

Wow; I'm glad you she's relatively okay. How scary for both of you though.

As for the police: I've (knock on wood) never been in a bike accident, but I've had them refuse to respond to car...

Ugh; I hate uphill roots. I did get better, finally, on one particular section of trail that has a lot of them, but I hate to psyche myself out every time.

I've never really enjoyed shopping or shopping with friends. I, too, mostly buy online. I used to go to the mall in downtown Indy when I still lived downtown for a shopping spree of sorts, but since...

Speaking for our office, the powers that be initially offered a worst case scenario in terms of furloughs with the stated hope that people would start adjusting their budgets as far in advance and as...

Again, I want to stress that my job is safe. My position is statutorily mandated. But a lot of other jobs aren't protected. We've been aggressively cutting jobs for three years now, and we still...

The projected cuts for the next fiscal year, at least for the courts, are worse than anything sequestration necessitated. So, from my vantage point, it doesn't look good.

Oh, I wish I had such problems. :rolleyes: Even when I'm thin, my thighs are not especially so.

I can attest that Catrin does, in fact, have thin thighs so her RS suggestion is a good one. I've...

Your birthday? If so, happy belated birthday! Go get those red shoes!

Yeah, where is Limewave? I know she changed jobs at about the same time she stopped posting. I hope she's doing well.

I'll second that.

I think she stopped posting for a time when Mr. Bloom reappeared, but I think she's come back at least once since then. If memory serves, there was a lot going on in her life the last time she...

Has anybody heard from Pax lately? She usually checks in here and there, but I haven't seen any updates from her in a long time. Pax, if you're following along at home, check in with us soon!

I love you being normal, too. That's awesome, Red. I'm so, so happy for you!

I think some new shoes and cake are in order btw!

Not to confuse you even more, but don't rule out 27.5 inch wheels either. A few companies--Jamis most readily comes to mind--are adding 650b wheels to their mtb mix. The marketing at least suggests...

Thanks, but that's the thing. Sequestration has lead to permanent cuts. There will be no end to it. In fact, there will likely be even more cuts over the next few fiscal years. Just a reminder that...

Wow, sequestration is making our more permanent budget cuts look like child's play. We have to cut another $500k in personnel costs in our office for the next fiscal year. Two of my most immediate...

We've put some mini v brakes on the Aurora, but I haven't had an opportunity to test them. The cantis on that bike suck, but even if they didn't, I'd still prefer disc brakes in certain situations.

I've ridden my Jamis Aurora touring bike on various gravel surfaces that were not quite full on gravel . More like crushed limestone. On the flat Katy Trail, they did fine...until it rained. And...
