    Dear LBS,

    Why Oh why did you have to show me the new 2012 blue/white Mamba with hydraulic brakes and better shifters than mine and is exactly my size?

    It's okay though. I still love my WSD Mamba. But still...

    Dear Teenage Son,

    You are only 15. I am not buying a new fork. I am not buying you a full suspension bike because you think your bike is of "lower" quality than what I have. Get a job and if you keep whining I can alway sell your bikes to someone who would truly appreciate them.

    Oh...clean your room. It reeks.

    LOL, Bethany. DBF's parents did the opposite. He got the spiffy new stuff, and his mom got the hand-me-down components and wheels. (His dad rides a recumbent.) I keep teasing him: "Well of course you have a nice bike--you're an only child and had your parents subsidize your hobby!"
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    Dear laptop:
    I know you're old. But please, keep going for a little longer. Especially you, touchpad. I suppose I'll have to buy you a mouse one of these days, though...

    Dear right eye--
    No. No no no no no. Don't you dare. Please be a coincidence.

    hmm

    Dear sternum,

    Mmmk..it's been almost 2 months(and you even were treated to a little jaunt to NZ..) & i've rested you long enough. Why is it that when i try to get back into my fave outdoor things (swimming in this instance) you come back to bother me. Please please please let me do stuff other than medium walks outdoors...

    I've done all the physio exercises, been eating well etc...

    This is getting really frustrating...me thinks its time for a CT scan as x-rays don't show anything.

    *sniff*...ugh..

    Sorry to hear this, cc! Hope it's nothing serious. Definitely sounds like some medical investigation is in order. Please keep us posted!

    Hey CC, get thee to a massage therapist that knows about trigger points! IT sure has made a difference with the way my frozen shoulder is healing.

    bike

    Mimi-i'm dealing w a good physio & am going to see an accupuncturist today.
    Physio & I have been working on my posture & it's improved!

    I went for a short outside ride this morning & it was just ok..I'm going to have to take it slowly for a while longer which is rather depressing...

    *sigh*....
