Boy, these are wise words. I quaked whenI found out that my sister's 4th husband dumped "a fat homely older woman with a bad disposition" for her. (my sister is not homely but meets the rest of that description). My only hope is that he will get enough fatter and older himself that he can't pull the same stunt on her.

Hey, how did my relationship start with the DH? He honked his horn at me
and I honked back. We toot tooted all the way down the street until
i realized he was someone I knew! I was just having fun.
The rest... is history.
(so is that how our relationship will end? Honking horns?)

I'm not sure, but I think it feels good that I'm friends with my ex, and dgf is friends with hers (not that I'm fond of her ex...) and speaks well of our being able to admit when things 'don't work' and being able to gracefully move on.
I admit I was thisclose to seriously damaging my sister's ex when I heard him tell a friend he "just lost 140# of ugly fat". He's an army boy, so I had to re-think the whole "remove his arm and beat him with it" thing, but yeah.

I think what my husband meant was if you start a relationship by cheating on your ex 'for' them, the relationship will likely end in infidelity, too... (love easily won is easily lost) ... if you *suddenly* fall in love, you can *suddenly* fall out of love, if you start a relationship based on sex, it might end because that base disappears, or if you start as friends, if you end, you'll hopefully end as friends, as that was there all along...

He was pretty wise for a 20 year old guy... just no **** common sense. He'd say the same of me, I'm sure.

Lise - the pic I saw was in a slide-show on her website a couple months back. There was no swimsuit involved. At least not from the mid-rib-cage up.

But the one you posted is just fine!

'Scuse me, i gotta go do some back flyes and back extensions and shoulder externals...

EDIT: Kit, go check out the OT.

Oh, you're right! I've seen that one, too! That's why this one looked "off". I thought it was the building in the background...but it was also the clothing in the foreground!

If I ever have such a picture taken of me, I will be well clothed. Hmmm, does back fat show as much when you're lifting something over your head? I'll have to ask my sister to take a bunch of pictures of me hoisting the bike, once I know I can do it without injuring either self or bike!

What is it with this whole back fat thing???? I was prepared for the trials and indignities of middle age but never expected back fat!


I'm going to Prague week after next...anyone been? Any recommendations for must see/do?

Bruno, love the new avatar. Very Scottish. Know nothing about Prague. My brother loved it. Well, there's one thing I know. If you didn't have back fat until you were middle aged, consider yourself blessed.

I just got back from Kiddieland, an old amusement park built in 1929. They still have some of the original carousel horses--I rode on one. It's designed for little kids, so it's like a really toned-down carnival. I went with my sister, BIL, my 3 yr old niece and 7 yr old nephew, another couple who are dear friends of my sis, and their 7 yr old son. The kids are best of friends. Just learned that the woman of the couple is pregnant!!! They'd been trying for a second child for a long time, and were in the process of starting the adoption process when she conceived. I am so happy for them. She was one of my running buddies this winter and spring, but sort of disappeared from running this summer. Now I know why!

Had a great time. It was nice to be around so many young families--no big rowdy people, almost no one smoking, and everyone looking out for the little kids. My niece is fearless. We call her "Maya, Warrior Princess". She's also incredibly loving and funny and smart...my nephew's a blast, too, but he's not so much into hanging with Aunt Lise! Good times.

Bruno - was in Prague a few years ago - it's a lovely, lovely city!! We went over Christmas - lots of free Chritsmas concerts going on - the school also did free concerts - very nice - meals were cheap - but good - we learned very quickly to have the hotel make all cab arrangements for us - whether we were leaving the hotel or coming back to the hotel - I hope you have a great time - don't forget the Charles Bridge and the Astronomical clock - they are must dos!!

Thanks Bicyclette.

I see you are in Belgum. I was in Bruges last year. It was lovely. Unfortunately it was before I started cycling as it would have been great to hire a bike to get around the city. I've heard Prague isn't really a bicycle friendly city.
