Good riding snacks?

Knotted how about:
SOOTOG or Significant Other Of The Opposite Gender
SOOTSG or Significant Other Of The Same Gender

is DD the dear dog?

on the bike: Luna Bars, Cliff in fave flavors, I don't like the real sweet ones. On hard and or hilly rides I prefer raisins to Gu because I think they say with me longer but will bring Gu. Also like a small bag of "Spazzdog's secret gorp" if it's a hard ride, small bag with chopped up Power bars, M&Ms or other unmeltable chocolate, pretsels and or peanuts and nuts.

On the Cinderella ride I made special low fiber version of Spazzdog Gorp for Bikeless I mean Duckless I mean Duck on Wheels.

At rest stops I like bananas and find them a quick source of carbs and sugar. You know; time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana

Also like bagels with peanut butter...but potato?

But there's no one right way to eat on a bike tho some things may work more than others, I feel we train our stomachs as well as our legs. Before any big event I don't want to change my diet.

Regarding acronyms: My DGF (dear girlfriend) doesn't like the term "wife", so in deference to her I'll stick with GF or SO.

DD - dear dog! That's great! Of course here it's dear dachshund. Then there's DC, dang cat! The cat belongs to the GF, so you get the picture. After 10 years the cat has finally decided to like me. I'm not sure how I feel about this. He sits on my lap every morning while I sip coffee and browse the internet. Gets cat fur in my trackball.

This is so much more fun than working.

Regarding food:
I'll have to try Cliff bars again. Aren't the Luna bars gooey?? And what is GU? I haven't gotten this far in my research.

Usually it's dear dog, this morning it was Dang Dog.

It was soooo hot last night that DD and I discussed I would allow her to sleep downstairs. Usually I don't do that or let her have free roam of the house at night, it's an "alpha thang". Came downstairs to find her taking full advantage and sleeping on the coach.

We discussed how that is not allowed

regarding acronymns I thing DX is dang-ex regardless of what team you bat for.

But yeah, don't see why we couldn't all use "DW"! Everybody join my team! How 'bout DPITA? (for those days when the dear spouse is being a Pain In The A$$)

DS is usually "dear son".

(I'm kinda likin' DPITA)

oh.... i SO vote for DPITA no matter what their gender or specific relationship!

It's always good to talk these things out with the DD of the house.

**latelatebloomer** · 06-23-2006, 08:12 PM

Marching as I do to that different drummer, I always thought DH stood for
"DearHeart." It does work for whatever team you play on!

Thanks for the Payday tip. I'll try 'em. I didn't like the salty kick when I was I kid and they were dreaded Halloween issue - sounds like they're worth another try.

**kelownagirl** · 06-23-2006, 10:46 PM

I alternate between "dear husband" and "damn husband" depending on my mood....

Actually, I shouldn't technically be using the dh term anymore anyways, since I am no longer married and I'm living with my new love but I just can't bring myself to refer to him as my "boyfriend" at the age of 46... "Partner" sounds so "legal"... Maybe I should call him Erik???

Only if that's his name.

Ah, what the heck - we can just pretend his name's Erik anyway.

**MomOnBike** · 06-24-2006, 08:57 AM

I suppose we could all call our Others Erik or Erika, depending. Could get confusing, though.

BTW, when I say DH I'm not always thinking either Dear or Husband, depending on my mood. I can get quite creative, but I'll let you fill in the blanks, spelling optional.

My Pawpaw had a cat named DC. The cat adopted him and he _pretended_he didn't want it to stay. He loved animals but my Nanny hated cats, so he told her he didn't feed it. He said "The damn cat just won't leave." The had the cat 17 years and when he died he was buried with DC's ashes.

MomOnBike "I suppose we could all call our Others Erik or Erika, depending."

Let's just call everyone Erik or Erika

**Nanci** · 06-25-2006, 08:47 AM

Man, you guys have really drifted since the last time I read this thread!

Erika

**DirtDiva** · 06-25-2006, 09:13 AM

Us? Drift? Oh, Erika, surely you jest?

**pooks** · 06-25-2006, 09:14 AM

My husband is a ham radio operator, and they call their wives XYLs.

X-Young-Ladies.

Yes, I think that's grounds for a divorce.

Back to snacks!

I'm going to buy some of those snack size baggies today and want to cut some bars into bite size pieces. I like the Peanut Butter Balance Bars (I don't think they would melt or get gooey -- not sure, though -- they don't have a chocolate coating).

Paydays ought to work.

What other bars would do well in pieces without crumbling to bits or melting?
