    Long time lurker, first time poster (to TD)

    I'm AG and I'm a cyclist

    I've been trying to catch up before I jumped in....but thats like riding against a 35 mph headwind. Much more fun though, you gals are a hoot!

    BMo3: loved the Christms Card.

    Mimi: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Love the jersey!

    definately SODA (I was born and raised in MO, so I guess that makes me a midwesterner (of course, sometimes I still warsh my clothes too )

    X: went out riding with BSG (bike shop guy) today. He got a call while we were riding about OTG's crank, a BSG is never off duty! We also plotted a nice little 23 mile loop from my house. Next time you two come down we'll give it a go. We'll have to wait until OTG's compact is done though cuz there is just_a_little_climbing

    Mimi Happy Birthday
    Soft drink - My grandfather Burress taught that the proper way to ask for was "Coca-Cola" That's what for being the product of two Tennesseans. I did grow up in Missouri, so to me it's Soda
    AG - People have a hard time with my accent and placing it. most people guess Arkansas, which is very close. have to go - gotta wrash my Farks in the zinc

    Here's a laugh for the day..put your coffee's down and stop eating...

    My team name for the 12hr is: Wake me up before i go slow..

    Ian's doing it solo & his team name: There's a loose nut on my bike.

    It should be a great event night riding with kangaroos rustling around scaring the pahooeys out of me

    have a good afternoon

    i love it! Kangaroos rustle around??!

    I also love the team name "there's a loose nut on my bike"

    I survived my birthday. had a pleasant evening with DH and older son. Ate dinner at home (it was 25 degrees out) then after dinner,
    we watched Brokeback mountain. The one guy did a great cowboy imitation.(I spent 10 years in Idaho so I know a cowboy when I see one!) I was not convinced of their love affair, but there were some beautiful parts in the movie. Watched 2 R rated movies with my son in 2 days. It's a good thing he's more mature than I am!
    Meanwhile, my dear little sister not only did not wish me a happy birthday, she followed up all her other angry letters with one that made it clear that she has never forgiven me for anything I have done to her since we were children. And she's mad about a bunch of stuff I didn't do as well.
    I wrote her back saying as much. I told her I'd be happy to talk to her about her job, her art, her friends, her husband, anything except regurgitation of the past.
    so except for my sister, yes, I had a happy birthday. I already knew she was going to be this way (since last week when she went OFF) so it was not a great devastating experience, more a quiet sadness.

    I say SODA!! but I translate to POP for the DH.
    he says funnies I say comics (for the comics section of the paper) I think this is hilarious since we've shared the same house for almost 30 years!

    I'd love to hear all your accents too. We are spread EVERYWHERE! I used to have a NJ accent, but now it takes an expert to catch it, since I've been on the west coast longer than I was on the east coast.

    X, you can't borrow my jersey. You might spill something on it.

    Kit - I just asked about your knee... you could've said you nicked it shaving or whatever. But don't you appreciate the fact that everyone here would worry if something ever happened to you, even the smaller stuff? *xoxo*

    Waah, sounds like the one I threw away day before yesterday. Tomorrow I'm making beef stew in the crockpot. We're all hoping the power doesn't go out this time...

    Me: HHHHhhhhhhans!"

    DG "You mean "HHHanduh"

    Trek: That is scary. UPS has brown snowsuits too. They're never out of uniform.

    Fredwina: my Mom is from west TX and my Dad is from STL. Even though I've been in PA for 11 years, my accent is still the butt of many jokes...by people who say "Aranch" (orange) The best though...my ex and his family is from Brooklyn, but his sister moved to Atlanta. Her daughter has a brooklyn accent with a southern drawl It rocks!

    Thanks Lise...I must admit that reading you're dating posts has given me hope. I'm in my own personal match.com saga (hell_o). Someday my prince will come...OK I settle for teeth and a sense of humor
