BMO3, she weighs 10 grams!!! Little Choco is 22...

She should reach about four feet in length.

I am eating my birthday chocolate from Venuzuala, and watching my birthday movie, A Prairie Home Companion. Choco is in hiding, or he would be out with me...

So this chocolate is from Target. Choxie. Choxie apparently now has a line of single origin chocolates. Tonight I am eating a dark Venuzuela, with a jepson very dry 100% Grenache rose. Excellent combination. Nail Lady would NOT approve.

Got a great macro shot of Chocs last night. Look how you can see a reflection of himself in his eye. What happens when you reach your limit on here of photos???

Glad I left my boobs alone though!

Gotta say I am reading/listening to all these Boob comments.......... good to hear all the opinions! The thought of letting someone cut into me, unneccesarily, is awful scary. And probably not worth it!! So I just gotta get over vanity and stick with the padded bras....... lots cheaper and less painful and risky. I should be happy with my health, not take a chance of messing things up, right? Still, something I need to decide for myself.

Lise,

You're going to Galena, IL? That's only about 25 miles from me!! Next time you are in the area, cross the Mississippi and come to Dubuque! I can't go looking for you this weekend (even if I was willing to disturb you and J!) 'cause I have a family wedding to attend.

Oh - I getcha about vanity clothing sizes! I think I am about the same size (different shape ) that I was in high school. And I wear a much smaller size in clothes now. I even confess to buying a pair of capris in a sz.2 just because I have NEVER been a size 2 (still aren't) and it was just cool to wear something that said it was a 2. If I was a true sz.2, I'd probably be malnourished and too weak to bike! No thanks!

Totally dead at work right now!! I know what will happen.......... at about 10:00 p.m. we'll get busy and I'll be stuck here till 2:00 a.m. Ugh. Hopefully, there will be some good tippers.

Have a good friday, TE'ers. I get behind in this thread, but still LOVE reading and trying to keep up. You are all such fascinating ladies

Happy Birthday Nanci - will the snakes help you celebrate? Maybe the brat will eat!

So Sorry CWR - You're a strong lady and I know you will be fine but I'm sure it hurts pretty bad right now.

I'm off to soak in the hot tub and then go for a nice little road ride - wish someone was here to join me today - gotta go alone Hubbys off in Florida and Anita couldn't come till tomorrow. It is supposed to be around 60 and little wind today so it should be a nice ride anyway.

Oh - gotta clean up the dirty kitchen - how does it get so messed up?

The Big Kitty is sleeping again - what can you expect out of a 20 pound 20 year old?

Fake lugs? What's next?

Happy Birthday to You! cha, cha, cha!
Happy Birthday to You! cha, cha, cha!
Happy Birthday Dear Nanci
Happy Birthday to You! cha, cha, cha!

I rarely recall my dreams, but last night's dream was bizarre. We were at Nanci's (I like how I imagine your home is decorated). All of us were at Nanci's and she was teaching us how to properly handle her babies and then we had a picnic out back in the newly decorated grazing area with the tortoises.

All of us (every drifter) was there and we had a blast! I must be wanting us all to be gathered in one location.

Vanity schmanity - If ya want boobs, get boobs. It does not make you less of a person or define who you are. I dye my hair. Does that mean I lack esteem? I shave my legs and pits.... am I vain? If I wear makeup and I not happy with what I see in the mirror? If I get a boob job, does that automatically make me a "hooch"?

If you research the doctor and facilites there is no reason why you can't get a good boob job. Modern science is amazing. 3 people I work with have had boob jobs. Not one of them regrets it and only one of them is obviously fake. And even tho its obvious they still look good.

Stereotypes are overrated.

I was in the LBS today, and I almost busted out laughing when I saw this. Isn't that fake lug a riot? It's on a LeMond Alpe D'Huez. Another straight carbon painted folk on a painted bike. Trek won't like it.

Fake lug? I don't see anything that looks like a lug- where is it??
My DH told me that he saw online somewhere some fake STICK-ON lugs that you apply to your bike tubing to make it look lugged- can you bo-LEEVE that???

oh puhleeze, fake lugs? puhleez I'm looking for real lug

Deb, the Lemond is actually kinda cool looking. I like his bikes, I just think he whines a lot "coulda woulda shoulda, if I hadn't been shot, if they handn't lied to me, I shoulda been a contendah, Stelllaaaaah!"

C'mon Greg, the Domestiques in the TdF are the best cyclists in the world. Just to ride much less whine uh I mean win 3 x's....

the baby snake is beautiful, like a little jewel

CWR, I am so sorry. If I could have one wish in life it would be that we could all meet someone, fall madly in love, and stay that way until the end. Why can't it just be like that?

Well, as my favorite band The Holy Rollin' Hellfires says, "When one door shuts, a window opens!" I hope when you go out that window, it's to someone better.

(I don't think they meant it in the generally used context...)

The fake lug is on the top tube just behind the head tube It's hard to see in the picture because of a white bike on a white background. It was really obvious at the LBS. Those faux lugs are ugly as sin.

OK, I'm sure I'll get booted out of TD for asking this but... what's a lug?

KG, if you simply drool at the right time, no one will ever figure out that you don't know. I'll give you cues. When you feel my elbow in your ribs, drool.

Great advice!
I've been instinctively pretending lately that I know what "freewheel" means when DH talks about it. Nodding sagely, biding my time for when he inadvertently lets more info slip out as he talks about it.

[kelownagirl]

I drool a lot these days...
