Snap got the job!! Congrats! We knew you would.

[Kitsune06]

WooWOOOO!!!!

Go SNAP!

Now lemme rub your helmet for good luck... I need it!

[KnottedYet]

Used to live near Kirkaldy....ker KAW dee. In a little town called "By Freuchie" (cuz it wasn't Freuchie, but it was close to Freuchie)... by FROO hkhkhee.

Often we'd go to Aughtermuchty. (let you figure that one out yerself)

(Bruno, no hints now! Let 'em suffer a bit!)

[Kitsune06]

There's always Weyauwega (where I went to HS) and Oconomowoc

Huh?

Oh I see, bikerz's comment. I think that's for winddance - I'm still waiting.

[KnottedYet]

I think I knew somebody from Oconomowoc. Wisconsin, right?

She and her wife had the first baby of 2002 or 2003. (born at midnight on New Years) Some wag posted online about how they'd had the baby at midnight on purpose just to get publicity.

Ummmm, I don't think childbirth works like that....

[Kitsune06]

oh... hm. Well... good luck, then, I hope things come through for you. OTOH, Congrats, Winddance!

She and her wife had the first baby of 2002 or 2003. (born at midnight on New Years)

Knotted- Why do I grin all silly and feel happy when I hear things like that? But yeah, Wisconsin. =) I think near either Manitowoc or Milwaukee but I might be waaay off.

[Bruno28]

I've decided to ditch caber tossing guy and adopt a new avatar that's more expressive of the inner me....grumpy and basically antisocial.

What do you think of the new look, or does no-one really care?


I'm skiving...must do some work now, but work is so boring. Still I should have guessed that a life in accountancy would not be full of daily thrills. Roll on 5pm (its only 10 am here).

[margo49]

Like...dour
aw come on Bruno
ya don't haff ta be lak tha' wi' us

anyway, if you want daily thrills... try the Middle East

btw do you know the Fort William/Glen Nevis/ Rannoch area?

[Bruno28]

Like...dour
?

Aye - exactly like dour!

"Ya don't haff ta be lak tha' wi' us" - I'm guessing Yorkshire???

It's Scotland - how big do you think it is??? I know it most of it. Yes I know Fort William etc. It always rains in Fort William - based on extensive personal research.

PS now I feel really bad about complaining of boredom!

[Lise]

Bruno, I think of all Scots as my long lost relatives (my mom's maiden name is McQ.... from the Isle of Skye, the ancestor left the old sod over 200 years ago). Grumpy, of course! I like your new avatar.

KN--yeah, birth, and its timing, are impossible to control. Trust me. I've tried!

snapdragen "Huh?

oops, that's what I get for not reading all 350 pages of TD as required.

Here's to exciting new jobs for all and boredum for Margo.

[KnottedYet]

I want my new bike. I want it now. Want, want, want.

I am not patient. Having little daydreams of getting it shipped here so I can ride while the weather is still good.

Hmmmmmm, spend $$ shipping or spend $$ changing gear ratios so I can ride on our hills. (I'm very good at pushing bikes up hills as I walk demurely beside them. Lots of practice has perfected my technique...)

Dunno which will be more exciting in December: getting DPITA or getting the Waterford! "Hi honey, great to see ya, I'm going for a bike ride now, back in a couple hours ok?"

I see neurologist #2 tomorrow. The medical history paperwork is huge and thorough, which makes me happy. My entire MRI fits on a CD, which is also cool. Dang MRI cost more than a bike.

Yup, I've got ALL my priorities straight!

[Nanci]

I have seen both movies- Flight 93, which was pretty emotional, and World Trade Center, which was good, but not that emotional for me.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!



It is about #18 and #19 of 20 survivors who were pulled out alive.

[Nanci]

I don't know if we are supposed to learn anything, or supposed to not forget. I will never forget the sickness I felt at our coutry being attacked. It must be how our parents felt at Pearl Harbor. I will also always remember the instinctive fear I felt upon seeing the first plane in the sky after days of planes being kept on the ground. You can't go back to the innocence of the time before 9/11.

What I learned from Flight 93 was, I thought they, the passengers, tried to crash the plane, but in the film, they tried to get rid of the terrorists and crashed by accident. They had someone all set to try to fly and land the plane.
