    Ooh, thank you ladies for capturing and reposting all the deleted stuff this morning! It's 10:30 and I just got up. That's a rare occurence. Øf course I was awake between 5:00 and 7:30 so no wonder I slept in.

    Snap - what do you mean he rides his "Battle Trek" in the winter. Oh wait, he's got an old Trek bike to ride when the weather's bad? PM his name to me, maybe I know him? DH wants me to ride in the snow but I tried it last week and almost fell twice. Not going to go down the big hill on that ice, no way.

    Happy New Year CC!

    Edit: Where'd I get that cool looking "O" with the line thru it?

    Ok, Trek, how'd YOU get it?

    How can I comment on how "hoy" you are when I can't spell it properly? (I have no idea what I just said... but gotta love my 25 year old Berlitz dictionary!)

    Ok, Knot, you asked for it-

    Death- A major change or transformation, possibly traumatic and unexpected. Freedom from the shackles of the past. A new beginning. Death coupled with rebirth, usually related to consciousness and lifestyle.

    Last word- Queen of Swords: The essence of air behaving as water, such as a refreshing mist: A person gifted with both keen logic and natural intuition, giving them uncanny powers of perception and insight. One who easily sees past deception and confusion to the heart of a matter, and understands both sides of any argument. The embodiment of calm, forthrightness, and wit, in the face of even the most trying circumstances.

    Well. There you have it.

    "Ok, Trek, how'd YOU get it?"

    uhm, my sister's Norwegian? Travel?

    "How can I comment on how "hoy" you are when I can't spell it properly? (I have no idea what I just said... but gotta love my 25 year old Berlitz dictionary!)"

    careful, there are Norwegians on board.

    Texas/Norwegian puns? Be still my beating heart

    Likely. I showed DH who's from Denmark and he said it was a Danish letter.

    I played around with the keyboard and figured out it was the option key and and O I'm Kits would know how ØØØØ

    haha, guess it can't read them all.

    BMO - why do you ever have a need to convert your keyboard to those other languages??

    I do not have tarot cards nor do I know how to read them. Sigh

    I convert my keyboard to Norwegian, German, or Russian as needed. Do not need to do it often though, which is good as my computer skills are very limited as is my typing.

    I am looking forward to the New Year. Maybe I will learn to type?

    Here's a link to some pic's of the Battle Trek - studded tires, fenders, lights. A truly sturdy looking bike!
