Thread Drift

More will be revealed.

It applies to more than Lise's dates!

And all this time I thought it was Mean While, Back at the Ranch. LOL

And all this time I thought it was Mean While, Back at the Ranch. LOL

That's a good alternate meaning!

I knew a woman from Tennessee, named Carvel, who pronounced it: "Mow-er Well Beee RuhVEALed!" She'd say it to remind me that we just never really know how things will turn out. It's sort of a life philosophy at this point!

Although, I do like "meanwhile, back at the ranch..." It occurs to me that this is a way we could draw more TE'rs out of lurkdom on thread drift....make up acronyms, and wait for them to ask! hehhhehehee

Knotted, glad to hear you're feeling better. It's all well and good to be the health care provider saying, "This virus will leave you sick and weak for 10-14 days." It's quite another thing to BE the person with the virus. I hate being the patient! Looking forward to more tales of the road from the PNW. L.

I made a chocolate cream pie tonight - it's chilling in the fridge right now! Ooh I can't wait!

Knotted - glad you're finally getting over that cold! It seems like it's been a month. I'm sure it feels longer for you.

Now we're trying to decide which types of gourmet pizza to order. This could be a while. I'm also starting the cinnamon rolls tonight (will cook in the AM). Good thing I'm getting in some pretty decent rides each day. I need to in order to burn off all of this food!

[DrBee]

Lise - I'm glad you explained where you got the MWBR thing. I've been wondering...

[Nanci]

I am so pleased to be ahead of the SS game for once!! I just ordered some cool Florida-themed stuff, resisting the socks I _really_ wanted to send- Love Sucks. Maybe if I ever get Lise for my SS ;-)

I highly doube SS reads this thread, but you never know. We are rapidly closing in on the other most popular thread, in terms of posts!! Maybe she's a lurker.

I _did_ buy the Love Sucks for my daughter- although love doesn't seem to suck for her and the perfect son-in-law. The love birds kind of reminded me of Kelly's first child, Senegal Parrot Roy.

Well, the torts are safely tucked in bed, and I am out on the patio with Dill, enjoying el cheapo Sauvignon Blanc and pretzels, waiting for the nightly crow migration. I cannot believe how hot the patio blocks are! BF is "back home" for a week. I am very lonely. You guys will undoubtedly see evidence of this in the week to come.

I have to work tomorrow.

Hmmm, I've never signed up for SS, due to my overwhelming aversion to the post office, but it is tempting to sign up and manipulate the system so as to get "Love Sucks" socks from Nanci....hmmmm, (hatching evil plan)...BWAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem. Love Sucks socks, you say? How intriguing!

More about MWBR--I knew Carvel from Al-Anon meetings when I was in my 20s. She also used to say (insert Tennessee accent): "Ahnger? Ah know all about ahnger! 400 yeahrs ago, mah people were payntin' theymselves BLUE an' goin' to wahr naykid! Yew cain't scare me with ahnger!" She was referring to the Celts, her tree-worshipping, blue painting, naked war-mongering ancestors. Mine, too, for that matter!

[Nanci]

There's a PO where I work- I keep them in business with all my on-line shippingg returns.

[KnottedYet]

oooh, we've got some thunder here in Seattle! And some wacky looking clouds. We don't get thunder often.

Here's how ridiculous PMS is: I cannot fix the creak in my new Brooks saddle and it's just getting worse each time I ride. Can't call Wallingford until tomorrow... and that makes me wanna cry! I HATE crying so easily!!!! Grrrrrr.

Ha ha! My dog is glued to the window trying to figure out what the noise is! Hasn't started raining yet.

I need more coffee.

[Nanci]

You know what makes me cry easily- confrontations at work. I hate that I do that.

Oh yeah, and that hopeless feeling on my bike of either being 40 miles off course, or not wanting to ride any more hills ;-)

I wanted to cry this AM when I got all dressed for riding, ate my breakfast and then it started to rain. I went running instead. People pulling out of their driveways looked at me like I was nuts! I was soaking wet and loving it! I did 2.3 miles. For once I wasn't drenched with sweat.

Fishfry has a pretty good fever today (102F). He seems healthy otherwise. Motrin and rest for him today. It's good it's raining - it'll be a lowkey day. However, being stuck in the house with houseguests could be interesting. The run this morning was prep for that I feel bad for all those people planning big BBQ's. It looks like it's going to rain off and on all day.

Nanci - we'll do our best to keep you company.

I'm trying to figure out what extra to put in my SS box this time. I've come up with a couple of good things. My toughest time is picking the right socks.

[Nanci]

I need a cinnamon toasted almond INTERVENTION RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love riding in rain, but it's hard to start out in the rain.

Nanci

[DrBee]

Nanci - I was thinking of you while I was running today. I wouldn't have minded if I got caught out in the rain on the bike, but yeah, starting is different.

Ooh - the cinnamon rolls turned out really good this time! Much better than the first time, and they were good then. I like being able to make them the day before, only having to "wake them up" in the AM and cook them.

I LOVE cinnamon toasted almonds! That is some seriously yummy stuff! I'm going to be soooooooooo bored today. I do not sit still well for any length of time. At least Fishfry's fever has come down. Children's Motrin is good.

fishdr "People pulling out of their driveways looked at me like I was nuts! I was soaking wet and loving it! "

I hope you looked right back at them as if they're nuts.

"why are you driving on this beautiful day!?!! "

[DrBee]

I should have! I just waved and smiled like it was a glorious day! I felt like a kid playing in the rain. Only when I was a kid, I think my legs could move faster

Since we're eating a late lunch/early dinner today, mom and stepdad and FishJr decided that it would be a great idea to go get ice cream at 12:30 in the afternoon. I, of course, could not decline. I'm weak! I don't know how people eat like this all the time. Ugh! I feel gross. I'm craving healthy food! I wanted to eat cantaloupe. Should have. I will need to ride a little extra over the next couple of days.

Why does my cat insist on rubbing against my face when I'm typing??? He's my computer buddy. This is my unfriendly-to-everyone-else-but-me cat, age 12, skinny as a rail, rips his fur out when he's stressed, and "leaves a present for me" in strategic places when he gets mad about something. He did that when both babies were brought home from the hospital - right in front of the crib. Lovely, eh?

Now, how was that for thread drift???

How's it going Nanci?

It's naptime here - I'm bored.

[Nanci]

I'm trapped at work. Oh well, more OT.

Edited to add I don't need the cinnamon almond intervention any more- I ate them all. But I didn't eat lunch.
