Hello all, I'm home. The Stones were all I expected and more! I'm still giddy as a school girl - we screamed, we sang, we danced - awesome!

Las Vegas is bizarrely wonderful. I want to go back and catch some of the shows. And see Prince.

I need to sleep now - sooooo tired!

[kelownagirl]

It sounds wrong to me too. Wow so many colour/patterns to choose from! I'm partial to anything blue myself. I liked the Dolomitas Blue and the Sargan Azafata. Actually I liked a lot more than that. Good luck in finding one you like. Can you wear it under a helmet?

[Bikingmomof3]

Yes, there is a discussion somewhere (helpful I am not), about keeping ears warm while biking and the majority recommended Buffs. So many to choose from.

I am drawn to Scully, I have no idea why. If it was a painting, it would match my living room.

[Bikingmomof3]

Kit and Snap-Good to have you both back.

Kit-I knwo it was only for a few hours, yet it appeared to be so much longer. I am pleased to hear your first day went well.

Snap-I am so happy the Stones concert was everything you were hoping.

If it's in reaction to Grey's Anatomy, I have an idea what category it's in, and not much anyone else can say...Just know you are one cool babe, Nanci, and that everyone on TD thinks so.

CC, I have never quite grasped cricket even after having my British sister in law explain it. I love to watch it briefly but I don't really get it yet. Mr. Salsa gets it, but we are still football (not American football) fans first. My failing, I'm sure. I love the look of cricket so expect I'd like it if I got "viewer-coached" through a game.

Not all massages are created equal, and different people need different kinds, too. I have fibromyalgia, and massages that push and prod hard will set the muscle pain off and make things much worse. I have to find someone who understands myofascial massage before I'll get one (slow heavy pressure that stretches the muscles instead of jabbing at them).

CWR, spa days are the best. Let us know how it went. Glad you're getting some creature comforts.

Mimi, I love roasted chestnuts more than anything. I had them every day when I did a three-month internship in Geneva, and I still miss them.

Nanci, I love the Choco's-falling game! I can SEE it and hear it as you describe it. Poor Addy, though. I like hearing about your garden and your path because our yard, which used to have lots of flowers, is a total moonscape from the construction. It'll get redone, but right now it's just desolate, so keep that garden talk coming. Love the hummingbird moth story!

I love the Talking Heads. The coolest New Wave band in the 80s. Mr. Salsa and I fell in love to the Talking Heads. As maid of honor at my sister's wedding in the late 80s/early 90s (who remembers...), my toast was a quote from a Talking Heads song ("Out of all those kinds of people, you've got a face with a view...").

No matter what, Nanci, it'll be okay, and even good. Early Happy Birthday to you.

I need help choosing a buff. My nose gets cold when I run and so a Buff should do it-anyone besides me think that word sounds wrong? Anyway, please help me pick one! http://www.buffusa.com/catalogue/30/all

\
I like "Dova" and "Cycle".

[CyclChyk]

NANCI - please tell me you were kidding when you asked who the Talking Heads are........... yes, watch one of their videos. (I must be getting so old....) Oh and when are we going to get to see a pic of your walkway?? You are giving me inspiration here.....

SNAP - the Stones must have been awesome!!! I am so jealous. Glad you had a great time. And has Prince taken his name back or is he still the "artist formerly known as..."?? (I love Prince BTW)

CWR - I agree. I like your avitar now. Suits your name.

KIT - hows the new job? Think you are going to like it? Yeh to the shower and bike locker!

BOM - sorry can't help with the buff..... never wore one, probably never will.

[crazycanuck]

Helowowowowo kids,

Snap-I'm jealous. I sure hope you boogied extra hard for me and threw kisses at mick.
Keith richards...what planet is he on again? I'm sure over the years through all that haze, quite a few.

If Nanci's path doesn't work she could be " On the Road to Nowhere" and for the snake that doesn't eat as well.

BMO3-Your package is being sent today. Sure hope the anzac buscuits don't get crushed.
Buff headgear is great except in the summer when it's 35c.

Ciao for now my dearies to the north

[Bikingmomof3]

Thanks for the Buff suggestions. When I briefly lived in the USSR I wore scarves all the time, I still have them, but they are definitely not wicking or breathable, but very, very warm. I almost pulled one out last night to run with, to keep my nose and mouth warm. Unfortunately, when the scarves get moist they freeze. So, buff it is.

[Kitsune06]

I'm sorry, X, I'm still giggling over how long it takes you to post anything, anywhere. I take it your thumb's not better?
*hugs*

[chickwhorips]

spokewench i am down in phoenix right now. i'm here till weds morning then i fly back up to alaska.

the spa day went well. i was able to relax during the facial and massage. funny how this massage was completely different from the other one. i guess i got all the bad kinks worked out with the first one. that and totally different therapist who has a completely different technique. the mani and pedi with the girl i use to work with was a blast. got caught up on all the salon gossip. gotta love it. tomorrow i get my hair done. woo hoo! total makeover, well kinda.

kit glad the first day of work went well.

snap glad you had a good time. OH!!!!!! how could i forgit. i now know someone that works at the Valley Ho. tried to get him to get me a t-shirt, no go yet, still working on it. i want one that says spa ho.

yup gotta love rosie. she's a good pal of mine, always keeps my spirts up. so i figured i should put her back as the avitar for a while.

well its bed time. night!

[Kitsune06]

Glad the spa etc went well, chica.
I'm debating going to bed now, too. I just know I wouldn't sleep, though. *sigh* or I would, then I'd wake up again at 4am. I really need to lay off the caffeine.
Sleep well!

[KnottedYet]

I'm back in Seattle. 15 hr drive up from SF.

I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiired!!

Will post pics (if my camera behaves and downloads like it should this time) tomorrow. I hope.

Night, y'all!ddd

[Xrayted]

Snap - has your voice recovered yet or are you still hoarse? Get any bootleg pics? I always smuggle a camera. No fun otherwise. *slight wink at Kit*

Kit - glad you like the job. As far as the locks, just jimmy them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get that fake "who me?" look off your face. We all know better. BTW, Mickey says hi.

CyclChyk - how can you handle McD's? The only sandwich I can tolerate is the fish and then only plain. Didn't like their burgers as a kid either. Blech.
As far as massage, I have 2 SIL's that are massage therapists and have taught me loads. I'm much better at giving them now and can go for over an hour straight without even thinking about it. No complaints yet. My tech mentors from school used to line up. (Did I mention I got straight A's in clinicals? ) Anyway, between the 2 of them, I get free ones anytime I need 'em. At home, I don't leave it up for discussion.

Kelownagirl - sorry you're ill. You have all my sympathy. Had my own p*ke-fest last Mon. Took me days to recover. Oh, I love Dream Weaver too. One of my all time favorites. Let's see what's playing in the changer now? Hmmmm, here ya go... Billie Holiday, Night and Day. Enjoy.

Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and sun
Whether near me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you
Night and day
Day and night...

(Aaaaahh, ain't nothin' like a good Cole Porter song)

Take care and stay in bed if that's what it takes. Fluids, push fluids. (((Kg)))

Nanci - "the water" is in the sodas, tea, cooked foods... that's why it still gets ya.

Dar - sorry about the painful legs. Come on over and I'll stomp on your back for a while. Won't fix the spasms but then again you won't notice for allthe spinal fx pain. On second thought, maybe just a good massage to loosen and realign everything.

BMo3 - thumb is better, thanks. Stopped hurting so much today. I soaked the bandage off (cold water) and rewrapped it. As much as I have to wash my hands all day, I'm surprsed it's not worse tonight. BTW, Nanci's b-day is on the 18th. (I got it this time, right Nanci? ) Friend went home today. I stopped by on my way home from work and got her settled in. She made me sing her a bedtime song. **shaking head** I'm such a sucker for sick people.

mimi - y'all in Seattle rock the biking world don't you? Such talent - how do you contain it all in only one city? I've gotta visit there someday. Sounds so bike friendly. It's like going to an alien planet or something compared to here.

CWR - yup, ya still know. (((CWR)))
Rosie the Riveter ROCKS!!! I ordered a jersey online 4 days ago. Expensive, but worth it. Can't wait until she gets here. I'll put it on and send ya a pic when she arrives. Good choice in avatars. Hope she helps give you the strength you need. You know where you can find the rest.
I just caught your last post Kit. It's kinda hard to write when I keep getting interrupted. 3 phone calls and an email. I seem to be the center of the whole universe tonight. Is it a full moon?

**whispering** pssst! Hey, Kelownagirl - keep up will ya? cd's just switched to Louis Armstrong. It's set on random so let's see... C'est Si Bon. Mmmmm, nice choice. (Satch is just the coolest kat.)

Trek - did Knot make it home ok yet? Hope your spirits are better. Here's an extra one, just cuz. (((Trek)))

OK. I think I'm finally caught up. Mondays are always so gabby around here. A girl could lose a finger from typing.

later gator.

[salsabike]

Hey, welcome home, Knot. Looking forward to seeing the Knot/Trek pics.

X, I was about to invite you here. You'd like it here, I think. Think about coming for a visit, for real.

Snap, what a blast. The Stones are the collective Portrait of Dorian Gray. I don't know how they've survived all the stuff they've done and yet they seem to just go on and on. Mick's dad just died at age 93, so I expect Mick got some good longevity genes. What was your favorite thing in Vegas besides them?

Chyk, I am taking before and after house pics, have been mailing them to my mom, and will post a few sometime.

Road to Nowhere is one of my alltime favorites.
