she's new here, give her time Hey, have you ever had strawberries marinated in something like a late Harvest Reisling (sp)? Yum. with or without chocolate.

[SouthernBelle]

Grey Goose martini with a twist please.

Oh, ya'll aren't taking orders

[mtbdarby]

WHAT???? This isn't a dating service? Man, would that explain why I can't get a date....

Bruce, you can see from the headwind generated here why most men don't live in this community - we debate 'em to death with the best of intentions
Only the strong survive...

Many thanks to you and your crew over there and come home safely.

Oh yeah, and RIDE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!

me too, CC - But i am BIG on chocolate


This thread has certainly taken on a life of its own. I think PM's can be quoted. Is there a LAW that says you can't??
I think men should be able to post here. Now hanging here is another thing entirely, my DH acts like I'm asking him to wear makeup whenever I suggest he read a post on here.
But men continue to ADD to this forum, in a small way; and i think that's the way it should be.
Now this poor guy, all HE was doing was thanking us!!!!
I have a feeling that he doesn't have a thin skin though, so we shouldn't be so worried about one
person with issues spoiling his day..

Interesting that your DH feels slightly uncomfortable or not in his zone. It's not the same with my partner. He views it as all good learning: ie. the more people turn to cycling, the better.

I should add that my partner belongs in cycling advocacy groups where there are some fairly active, experienced and outspoken female cyclists. These women also have done cross-country touring in CAnada/U.S. and randoneurring. Not just cycling advocacy talk.

Compared to who - you?

Chocolate's good. Especially the 86% stuff I keep stashed in my drawer at work. Wine not so good. Beer good. Champagne excellent. whee, I'm beginning to look forward to Christmas parties...

But I don't like beer or champagne!!!!

I liked the fact that 2 TE-ers had been so generous and the fact that Bruce is a guy was kind've incidental! Hope you are following this Bruce and realise that we liked hearing about such a fabulous story


Well... I'm off to steal everyone else's chocolate while they have their beer and champers...

That could cause some people to get out their kris or poinard, since stealing chocolate is rather flagitous and would cause a bouleversment.

I am not bibulous. But I do have a proclivity to disport with words.

I felt compelled to paste this from another thread so the world would know and would not doubt her sobriety

I, for one, hope to see some photos of the bike being ridden over there! I hate that someone felt they had to try to make you feel unwelcome. You know what you are there for, no matter what flack you get from civilians and media.
I don't mind if private messages are posted (and that wasn't done in this case anyway), if the pm'er was ashamed of her post, she shouldn't have sent it in the first place. I'm not sure why anyone feels his post was unecessary anyway- I thought it was great, although I don't like that there are the snarky weasely people out there who'd try to shut it down. If it somehow offends you, too bad, I enjoyed it (and several others too)and want to know more and see more photos.

Bruce - Welcome aboard (oooh, that's navy. sorry)!

When you get the chance, and the hair color discussion didn't scare you off, we'd like bike pics. Please?

And how many duffle bags did it take to get the bike to the big sandbox?

Essayons!

Oooh, that reminds me, Bruce the water bottles are from my boss. She's retired Navy. Hope you don't mind.
