they couldn't pinpoint it. But they did say my computer was "hosed"
- really! I have it in writing

That is so helpful.

I think the only advice I can give you is to avoid Dell, particularly if you ever think you might want to call customer service. If you are cool with taking care of stuff on your own, they have some great deals, but my one experience with their customer service had me nearly homicidal.

"hosed"

Also spelled "T-O-A-S-T."

Well, I'm all set, I test-rode my AV sleeveless jersey and bolero this past weekend.

I'm going to be stylin', gasping on the side of the road

But I dislike suffering so I'll do the metric instead of the century

[maillotpois]

I'm still on the fence about Tam. You did see my average speed for DMD right?

V.

Let's talk about Tam... It was the toughest event I did last year, but I completely believe you can do it. You can start earlier than DMD, which is nice. We'll talk more... but you should give it a whirl.

Oh, what, so you don't have to be The Short One? I think someone else (that would be you!) needs to fill that role Saturday.

I'm thinking about getting platform cycling shoes.

BTW, how will you see toenail polish through your cycling shoes?

Have fun ladies!

yellow, aka TSO, also a pedicure junkie

[SadieKate]

The toenail polish is so that we can recognize each other at dinner when our yucky wet jerseys have been discarded.
