    The brother has a MOOTS??? Wow. They make very nice components as well as custom bikes- and they used to have a catch phrase something like "Moots is like jewelry for your bike." Every other bike at IM FL was a Cervelo, mostly P3s. Where does everyone get the money?

    Glad you liked the brother.

    X- yow, did it ever heal? I broke just my little fibula (like a spiral shattered deal) (thanks to a stupid horse) and it took _months_ to form any new bone. Could you walk pretty normally with that, like that?

    off

    I have two days off just because...Ian and I are spending tomorrow blobbing and perhaps going for a 60km road ride..

    Kit-was this meant for me or the other cc?
    Hey, CC, I probably won't be up when you post, but I wanted you to know I always appreciate your posting and like reading what you have to say in the morning when I get up.
    Nanci-Sure hope you have a better night's rest wed night..(your wed night...)
    How did you enjoy "Thank You for Smoking'?

    I've only really had food poisoning once. I was on my way to NZ (after living in Japan) via Thailand/Cambodia/Philippines and ate poorly cooked chicken in Bangkok from a roadside stall. Long story short, it was thier new year, could not get away from area I was staying & had to eat something. I just about missed my flight the next day. Not only that but the airline staff were a bit unsure of my NZ residency status but let me fly anyways.

    I didn't make it all the way through Thank You For Smoking, though it was very good up to the point where BF got home and I got mad and went to bed at 7:30...I am going to do over tonight.

    Inez arrived in Gainesville at ~8:30 and only spent two minutes at UPS before going out for delivery!!

    Yep
    I watched it all in glorious black and white so that red and blue came out the same shade of grey.
    Tho' I *was* able to distinguish betweeen the shades of grey of a "yellow alert" and a "red alert" in Star Trek TOS.

    Not rude at all. Check out the Show Us Your Scars thread. That pretty much tells (and shows) it all. And...

    HAPPY BIRFDAY, CRAZYCANUCK!!!
    I'd send ya flowers, but apparently you already have some. So, how old are ya anyway, like 80? Yeah, yeah, I know, 34. Your just a young pup. (and by definition, that kinda makes me a young pup too. Yea!)


    Nanci - Sorry about last night. Hope everything is ok now.
    Oh yeah, I walk just fine now Nanci but I'm just a little short on that side. Over the years, my fib didn't heal correctly where they took the grafts so I have to have it rebroke and a plate/screws done soon. It's very painful even though we don't put much weight on it. Mostly when I lay left lateral. It pulls against the tendons and tweaks the bone. Movement in the body of a bone isn't a good thing. I put it off for school but no more excuses now. (the bike isn't a good enough reason for the doc ) Also, I need to break the 4th MT just proximal to the MTP joint in the left foot, move it anteriorly and pin it, as it and the toe are both falling out the bottom of my foot. Very painful to walk on. Will get both done at the same time so less cast/recovery time. Amazingly, I still have my original arch though which helps tremendously.
    I'm trying to schedule the surgery soon so I can still go on my spring bike vacation that the TE ladies are helping me out with. Even if I have to rent a scooter, I'm going. Ok, maybe a motorcycle, scooters are too cutesy for me. Sorry scooter riders but if I'm motoring, I want something that vibrates, growls and has some serious kick. I may just go somewhere for a week to rest and recoup while still in the cast too. Good thing I'm an expert on crutches or this all might slow me down a bit.

    Lise - I'm so glad that J's family is as cool as him. It's nice that you felt at ease with a bunch of guys after 'everything'. I know how that can be. Just two questions, what style of baseball cap does he wear and how does he roll his brim?

    Wait for it, wait for it.......... Duck! *Crash!*

    (Oh, c'mon Dar, ya know it's funny! )

    Gotta get outta here early to take care of something very important and urgent. See y'all later.

    I think broken bones have the potential to hurt forever. My fib can still hurt as much as the day it happened, 12 years later, and it has a huge nice bridge of bone holding it together now. Any weather change sets it off.

    Yeah, you don't want to have a leg length discrepancy (I'm too lazy to m-w that for correct spelling, so I will just hope for the best...) for long or it will cause problems in other places. BF claims to have one, but I want to see films. Unfortunately, we don't have a ruler in my dept- it's out at the ortho center.

    What spring bike vacation?

    Speaking of bike vacations, I got the catalog yesterday for Woman Tours or something. Oh, if only I would win the lottery.

    Nanci - I've got a thread going to have TE'ers help me pick my first bike vacation. I welcome any suggestions.

    X - Boy am I offended Yeah, yeah it's funny! I noticed you ignored my offer to accompany you on your vacation. **sniffles** I just don't feel the love no more....

    Nanci, sorry you had a rough night girl. I used to sleep with a pistal in my nightstand but since I've had my little guy no guns in my house. Do you have Inez yet??

    CC - Happy Birthday!! Have a fantastic day!

    Knot, sorry to hear about the food poisoning. Hope you're on the mend soon!

    Crazy - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! How old are ya?

    My hubby was away last weekend to see his mom who is very ill. I missed him and his hugs (it's the longest we've been apart since we met) but they were going to a very special person so I didn't mind. Having two big dogs sleeping on the floor next to me helps with the freaky night stuff...

    I'm not the one with food poisoning, it was Xray.

    I've been quiet on the boards because I've been exhausted and struggling with crazy work schedule.

    Gawd, I hope I don't get food poisoning.....

    Trek - "there was this one time, at band camp..." (and you even play the flute! which makes it even funnier! And I never saw the movie, which makes it even morer funnier!) Oh, yeah, and sorry you got food poisoning at band camp.

    False alarm- it was pest control. Got to ask him not to treat the tortoise grazing area.
