(Off-off-topic, I'm pleased to be able to report that the unfortunate couple are now in a decent home. They were allowed to keep one rabbit, a three-legged bun that sleeps with them. So it's not...

I am starting to feel like Lizzie in Pride and Prejudice:


And by the way, I don't think that this discussion is really very far off the original topic. What are we talking about, all the way...

Trek--

I think that cites most of the US studies. Though one line in that article gave me the giggles -- "she wakes early to start her 9am job and doesn't return home until 5pm."

Starts when? ...

Now that is entirely possible, but I still don't think that house ownership is going to change anything -- especially not shared ownership.

I will admit to a strongly-held position, based on my...

Personally, I think that is a forlorn hope. Either he doesn't notice or doesn't care, and ownership is not going to change that.

My big question is, was he ever trained to clean? I have a theory...

The following is an email exchange. A friend sent me the original. Being a helpful person, I tried to answer all the queries raised. My responses are in italics.

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for...

Oh sister, if your only food problems are what you list, I am far more challenged than you! I am lactose-intolerant and fructose-intolerant; allergic to sucrose, soy, milk protein, and most nuts;...

I have read one of Dr. Laura's books, and I listened to many hours of her radio program. She can be intolerant, and she can be ignorant. I have a problem with her making pronouncements in areas...

I'm not going to bother being jealous; it's not a fair competition. If I had her money, her job, her genetics, and her free time, I too could look like that on a bike. :p

My neighborhood is in the process of developing a Neighborhood Watch group. I have no time for new activities, but I can convert my morning rides into a patrol.

Has anyone ever done a bike...

One problem may be that you are using the word "help" to describe the BF's potential involvement in housekeeping. It's not a matter of him "helping" you with "your work", it's a matter of him...

Ditto objections to the childish colors and patterns. I am a woman, not a girl.

Problems with fit: I am tall, big-boned, hourglass-shaped (long torso, short legs, big difference between hip and...

Don't leave the Easy Seat saddle off your list of options. I can't ride two miles, let alone twenty, without irritation on anything resembling a standard saddle. Goodness, I can't even sit in pants...

Just to be clear, I'm not the person who posted asking for advice on which bike to get. That was Ladyfish. (I couldn't tell whether which of us Dogmama was talking to.)

But why, when I'm so much in love with Crimon Joy, and she does everything I want and more?

I went the other route -- road bike to hybrid to mountain bike. I used to commute to work on a road...

I tried out the Trek hybrids during the course of choosing my current bike. My riding style is "city trekking" -- I'm not comfortable on road bikes because they don't feel nimble enough to me, and I...

Actually not, though I might well recognize the names. I don't watch TV, so I never recognize anyone's photo.

What I like about what cycling does for my thighs:

When I was not cycling regularly, jeans were tight across the upper thigh and seat, where my bigness was. When I do cycle regularly, jeans are...

Well, phooey on them. That table ought to have had a sign near it: "Caution! Bucketheads may be nearby!"

Here I sit, dining resplendently from an individual serving-sized can of Bush's Baked Beans.

I try to keep a stock of them in my office desk drawer, along with Lundberg's tamari/seaweed rice...

I'd forgotten about the Middle East -- didn't know about Asia -- excuse me while I go find a closet to hide in while I have a nice quiet freak-out moment. :eek:

I must preface my remarks by saying that this is not in any way intended as a criticism of MountainandRoad, who may in fact have a real problem.

When I saw the title of this topic, I thought,...

Wish I could agree with you, but the three who have nearly hit me (two hard-brake-and-swerves, once having to lay my bike over; once I had to jump it up out of the bike lane and onto the curb) were...

See's Blueberry Truffle?

Oh, do I miss California! (Although I'm not keen on chocolate, I must admit that I do enjoy See's. And Winchell's. No Winchell's this side of the Rockies, as far as I...

You go, girl! :D
