Nanci - I saw that about your BMB guy in your post on the rando list!! Amazing!

Okay folks, what is "censored"? I have read through as much of the 22 pages that you all generated during my camping trip as I could. Just asking for a better clue here...

Someone gave DH a bottle of "Arbor Mist" Peach Chardonnay as a joke b-day gift (They also gave him a Caymus Conundrum - yummiest white there is). Anyway, we're giving it a try. It is a lot like a wine cooler. I don't know if I can have any more of it. May be drain fodder.

i'm dogsitting my boss's two dogs and decided that all four dogs (theirs plus my two) really need to run. so i take them out for a 3 mile run but take a 'trail' (a slight indentation in the tundra with really long grass and weeds) instead of the road. it was great to run differently and the dogs loved it.

my small one kept chacing the black lab all over. when my big one ran ahead of me on the trail with two feet of tundra on either side of her the other two jumped directly over the top of her on the tundra. if i only had a camera for that exact moment i could've made some money! it was so cute.

we all had fun running in the rain. all of us were soaked. it was so wet that my gortex shoes.... well i was swimming in them. thats ok all 5 of us will sleep good tonight.

Ok- WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone PMs me ever again with helpful tips on what not to write,- eff off!!!!!!!!!!! I'm done!! You want to see "over-reacting-" I'll give you over-reacting...

I'll post whatever you were too much of a ***** to say in public right back on the thread. No more private crap.

The end.

(we love you, Nanci)

(you can overreact any time you want, it is TD, after all)

<Knotted whispering>


Edit: and after all, you did START this thread!!

Nanci -

Hmm... what if I PM you about wine....? Just stokin' the fire....

I also like hearing about the animals. I didn't know what "censored" referred to, though. I guess someone didn't like the gory details? I used to feed Percy my python live mice. It was kind of a bummer, but I would go in the other room some times. Sorry Maisey isn't eating. Anyway, I have to say Nanci that know more about wild and amazing animals than anyone I know - and if DD were old enough to be on TE, she'd be your best friend because she is OBSESSED with animals. She's dying for ANY type of animal. (Let it be known that she is NOT derpived, already having had rats, mice, fish, dog, cats). We pick up the gecko tomorrow.... But if she knew someone with torts, snakes, pigeons, etc., she'd never shut up talking to you about them. Those who have met her know that shutting up is often difficult for her to do....

[Nanci]

You can PM me about wine any time you want to. Unless you're telling me not to write about that, either. And don't think I don't worry about the person(s) who are not able to drink alcohol for personal reasons. I do.

I rode the Zero X for 30 miles today. It was ok...I want to see what I think on a longer ride. I adjusted the tilt up and down a bunch of times. It sits so low on the rails it is hard to adjust. I wonder what the difference is between pressure on the bones versus actual pain. Because I _feel_ the saddle on my bones, but it doesn't hurt, but it is very noticable. Then I have some sort of, I don't know, maybe one of those weird blood vessel things right in the underwear-leg crease, that gets irritated easily, (it's been there forever- sometimes causes more pain, sometimes it's not noticeable) that was bothering me today, so if that was totally gone, would I like the saddle more?? It's much better with bike shorts than pajamas...

I had a great ride/float/swim/picnic today.

Nanci--I sure as *censored* hope you're not worrying about me. When something doesn't interest me (like, oh, say, wine), I generally ignore the post. I like to tease you when you say you poured it out (the waste! the waste!), but after 22 years' sobriety, posts about how oaky or fruit-loopy wine tastes will not tempt me! (um, if you weren't worried about me, then, uh, never mind! )

PS, even though I haven't read the 6 pages of TD y'all generated while I was off triathlating, I do believe that *censored* is a live mouse sticking out of a snake's mouth! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Or, riding around on a snake's back, which is considerably less scary. (of course the use of *censored* in the 1st paragraph of this post does not refer to a mouse.)

MP: I think the echo was fine. The sonographer seemed to think so. I don't have the official report. My heart did fine on the tri today. I checked my pulse at the pancake joint afterwards--not one skipped beat. Is that not wierd? I can be lying in bed and skip beats, but do an Oly tri, and nothing? Good news, though...now I'm going to resume catching up on TD, shower, and write y'all a race report!

[KnottedYet]

I did it! Now I'm tired.

Danskin report is in the race reports thread. Now I've gotta go to the website and see if I can find my results. Also wanna find my pictures. (pics will show up later, I'm sure)

Congrats, Lise and Colby!

A few unrestrained guffaws here, but no water in my mouth for a change.

MP!!! Where did you go camping? Was it fun?

SK, am thinking about you and dad.

Mom a little better today, still living on the edge. Contractor meeting went OK--we got him to agree that we would dock him part of his profit if he didn't make the next milestone date ('course, that would engender some arguing and negotiating, but still a big improvement, we hope. He does do excellent work, just not timely. So let's hope...will periodically keep you posted. Or, if you read about me in the newspapers with a Lizzie Borden kind of theme, you'll know it DIDN'T work).

I couldn't find the earlier posted Maizey pic, but looked up corn snakes and saw a pic there. Boy, they're gorgeous.

Shirley Jackson (remember "The Lottery"?) used to have a cat who was passionate about cantaloupe. And the Siamese cat I had as a kid used to love canned asparagus. And goofy Nina, the half-Aby cat mentioned above with the mouse-sitting thing, gets absolutely wild-eyed with ecstasy over drinking the liquid in a can of chick peas--that is really hilarious to see. They're all so funny, and so different one from the next. Endless entertainment.

MP!!! Where did you go camping? Was it fun?

Yosemite. We pretty much go every year with DH's parents, his sister and her family. We camped at Tuolomne Meadows 4 days and then spent a few days at Wawona (with a real room - though for us, sharing a DOUBLE bed is worse than camping! ) Anyway, it was GREAT. I will post pics in a few days. I did some AMAZING hikes. After a time, no one wanted to hike with me. Don't know why. I guess it's my pace. Trying to stick to the 4 mph pace, which is a challenge on rough terrain at altitude (10,000 plus one day). Kids had rivers. Saw lots of deer, chipmunks, squirrels. No bears.

My BIL and I did a 13 1/2 mile hike one day with the most amazing view I have ever seen. I will post a pic of that but it won't do it justice. We did it in about 4 1/2 hours, which was pretty zippy - included some sitting by a lake to contemplate my new blister.

MWBR...,.

Nanci - that underwear leg crease thing makes me wonder if the saddle's not too wide and if you should try the zero Y....

[Kitsune06]

The end.

Since it'll go right up here anyway, apparently, I'll post it here, because I'm neither a "p*ssy" nor am I anywhere near deserving of the outburts I've gotten handed to me this evening.

"Nanci. Calm down. If you want, I can post every single PM I wrote verbatim, and the people who've had to read this exchange can judge for themselves if all this was really necessary. I think this is petty and juvenile. I only PM'ed you because I think saying something privately, aside to someone is far more respectful to them and their peers than putting it on the public board, and God so help me, if I ever offend anyone, I hope they extend the same courtesy so I know where my limits are. I'm glad we could discuss this like adults."

Puerile thread hijack over. I'm sorry this ended up involving you all.

I've never joined in on TD, but here goes..
What does a girl do on a saturday night when the rest of the family is in nor cal??
Why she steam cleans the great dane goobers off the carpet. Good times I say, GOOD times!!
Now I need to call Nanci...
Maybe I should make a cup of tea...

i have one of those drooling dog problems too (she has great dane in her and mastiff all the more fun!)

either have a cup of tea or a glass of wine. i always enjoy a good glass of wine when BF leaves me. actually i think it winds up being the whole bottle, not just a glass.....
