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*

good grief, no bicycling on ICE GUYS!

[mtbdarby]

Oh, you guys are funny this morning!

Trek - glad you didn't open the door woman. You're one smart cookie, although, I would like to see you open a can of whoop a$$ of someone (as long as it's never me )

OTG - you rock! You are so inspiring to me! Could you please send me some movitvation. PLEASE????

Kit - nicked shaving wouldn't have been a good story, but crashing on the icey pavement, well **sniffling** I'm just proud of you! Glad you weren't hurt worse. Take care of yourself (we can't have X leaving her cage to come get you, people would talk....)

Mimi - sorry your sis had to ruin it for you. I think she needs to grow up. You'd trust me to wear the orange jersey though, wouldn't 'cha?

CC - Love the team names! When is the race? We want pix!

AG - greetings and salutations. PM me anytime on Match misery - I'm all over it. I hate to pull rank here, but after 2 years of searching on match, I'm next in line, hehe! I'm calling it project FROG - finding a really ok guy (someone here came up with the name but I'm drawing a blank - sorry). Teeth and hair, huh? Maybe my standards are too high? I talked to a new guy last night who started off the conversation telling me holidays are depressing because his dad died last year just before TG and this year his mom took off somewhere for the holidays . Luckily, I lost the call at that time. If that's how he starts a call with a stranger, I could be in trouble here.

BMO3 - thanks for asking about Xena. She's doing better this morning. She even took her $4 pill like a good girl this morning. $4 pill - man, was this vet bill expensive! I'm waiting to hear from Scotts sister on how his surgery went - thanks for the prayers. And thanks for the Christmas card!

Lise - hope work went well. Did you get your vacation time for Italy all straightened out? If you have one, hows about posting a pic of you and your honey? You guys sound like such an adorable couple - you give me hope! Steve called last night and we may go out Saturday.

Spoke - glad the vacation went well. It's always good to be home isn't it? Good for dh getting domesticated. Maybe it's an early Christmas present?!

I have to go let my coffee OUT. Then actually do some work . I"ll check back at lunch. I'm getting close to 500 posts you know - milestone!

[mimitabby]

hey Where's Nanci???

MTB, you know I can't show favoritism. Poor X would be hurt.

A guy that starts out a conversation by whining? Good thing you dropped the call!

My husband was going to ride on ice yesterday. but he took the bike off the bus rack and set it down. and he couldn't roll it! it kept slipping out from under him. So he walked it to work instead.

Hmmm...I hate to be cynical....but does anyone else think "Kahnartist" is an unfortunate name for someone who has only been posting in the for sale/wanted area?? Or did I miss a joke (as usual).....

Procrastinating at work today...not a good thing It's 70 degrees outside and I'm never home when there's daylight

Come on Spring!!

For those of you who would like to know---I PMed Bruno28 just to see if she was out there (so to speak) and okay. She is and is--just overloaded with work. I told her she was missed here, but glad to know everything's all right in Thistle Land.

[DebW]

Kit, glad you aren't hurt worse. Scary slip there. How about some studded tires before you try riding on ice again?

Speaking of accents, my nemesis is the word "pen", and the word "pin", which are pronounced identically in my world, but other people seem to be confused by this. Big revelation when I moved from Missouri to Massachusetts to attend college was that some people can pronounce "Mary", "marry", and "merry" differently. Who would have guessed? A favorite English topic in grade school was the study of homonyms, which I now know there are more of in Missouri than anywhere else. And I was in 5th grade before a teacher finally corrected my spelling of warsh and Warshington.

mornin' TD.

cc - i love the names you came up with, and i'll second dar by saying PIX PIX PIX!

Trek - scary but glad your ok and did the smart thing.

AG - welcome to TD. btw: sugar daddys are to much work. stay with what you have.

Lise - glad things are going good for you. how is the vacation planning?

Mimi - sorry about your sister. trust me i know how it is. though mine won't talk to me and changed her phone number too. though i still mailed her a xmas card all the same. besides, i've adopted some MUCH better sisters. at least them i can talk to unlike her.

Dar - glad to hear the pup is doing better. question of the day: why are vet bills so expensive? i need to go back to school and become a vet or a dentist!

Kit - be safe today - or else! *mumble mumble* just don't want anything to happen to you.

X - thanks for the good thoughts. didn't have a good night last night. here is why: (disclaimer: long rant)

i called the dr office yesterday to confirm my appointment for friday. i still have it and then i started asking questions about where they would do the surgery, if the dr i have an appointment with would do the surgery. they do it at one of the 3 hospitals here, and yes the dr i'm seeing does do surgery, but she will put me on a 3 - 6 month plan to see how my feet are doing. what?! i am not going another 3 - 6 months without being able to run/bike or even wear shoes! hello i have to FLY into anchorage every time i want to see a dr. are they going to foot that bill (no pun intended). she said i will have to discuss things with the dr further to find out, but on a good note they do have openings for surgery in january if that is what is decided.

so then me an my brilliant brain last night go and do a web search on surgery and come across a health forum about foot problems. so i start reading and then get even more worried. most of these girls that have had foot surgery they have one done, then go back in and have the other. then i start thinking what if i have to go back in and have the other one done because she wont do them at the same time. there were a bunch more what ifs but i'll spare anyone that has read this far.

so today i'm bummed and scared to say the least. i can't stress to much about it, i won't know until i see the dr. oh! and on top of all this we have a bad storm coming through right now with winds suppose to be 60 mph tomorrow, so who knows if we'll be able to fly out. great......

some people can pronounce "Mary", "marry", and "merry" differently.

There are people who pronounce them exactly the same?

We need speaking test on how everyone says certain words, such as:"roof","about", "cold", "boat"?
Anyone know what a "two-four" is?
*shaking my head* no wonder everyone looks at me as though they cannot understand me, what it is the other way around. Stop laughing everyone-I needed my friend as a translator when I visitited her deep in southern Tennessee.

[Bikingmomof3]

Where is Nanci?

[mimitabby]

Where is Nanci?

yeah, that's what i was wondering.

Maybe we should start posting pictures of snakes..

this is a worm snake

[mtbdarby]

How in the world do you pronounce them differently? You guys are making me feel like such a redneck with today's English lesson BMo3, are you picking on our long "o"'s sounds, lol. I had a guy grill me on words like that before I realized why he was doing it.

I'm bored. I don't want to work. Still in the 50's and raining and tonight it will plummet to the 20's and stay cold. I know better than to ask Kit if I should ride my bike in this, but I could at least put the fenders on my mtb.

DebW and all you other mechanically minded folks: Is there a better tire to use in the winter on my mtb than my standard mtb tires? I plan on riding it on the road. What exactly are studded tires?

[Bikingmomof3]

H BMo3, are you picking on our long "o"'s sounds, lol.

I am alway teased about (a boot) they way I pronouce numerous words. I assumed everyone talked that way for the longest time.

What really threw me for a loop was moving to WI and hearing a water fountain referred to as a "bubbler".

what threw me was moving to arizona and them calling it a water fountain. a what? isn't that one of those fancy water things that sit outside big important buildings?

yes kit, its true, you can't ever shake that accent. you should know.
