OK, I'm sure I'll get booted out of TD for asking this but... what's a lug?

[Nanci]

Trek420, and everyone who ever complimented my snakes: Thank you for sharing my pride in my babies. I get so much enjoyment out of them. I'm sure my blood pressure must drop just the same as if I were petting a dog, when Choco is running through my fingers or curled in my hand. You should have seen Inez when I took her out. At first, she curled into this little ball of snake- you couldn't even tell where her head was. Just a perfectly little round black and red and yellow ball- tiny. Poor little babe- she's probably never been handled. I hope she gets used to it quickly and becomes a good friend like Choco. Maizey is big and gorgeous and a magnificent snake, but she just doesn't tuck into my hand at 200X the size of Choco. But she is great to go out walking with...

You know how much you're loved, don't you? This much!
(((((CWR)))))
Glad to see you back little sister! Give that dog a smooch and enjoy the drink. Talk to you later...

CWR, I am so sorry. If I could have one wish in life it would be that we could all meet someone, fall madly in love, and stay that way until the end. Why can't it just be like that?

Well, as my favorite band The Holy Rollin' Hellfires says, "When one door shuts, a window opens!" I hope when you go out that window, it's to someone better.

(I don't think they meant it in the generally used context...)

You are safe and loved here. I wish I could make the pain go away. I can tell you that it will eventually go away.

Huge Hugs!

CWR,
It 's like Nanci said about the closed door thing.
One of my favorite sayings is:
We must give up the life we had planned
if we are to lead the life that lies before us.

Time will heal the heart. Take care of yourself.

[kelownagirl]

I'm so sorry CWR. That's such a hard decision to make but I applaud you for having the gumption to know when something is working and when it isn't even though it's difficult. So many times we stay in a relationship because splitting up is too hard (10 years too long in a 20 year marraige for me.) Hugs to you from me too...

[Kitsune06]

*tight hugs*
You're very loved, Chica. Be kind to yourself and hug your furbaby, too. You made the right decision, and after it stops hurting you'll feel the relief, I promise. *tight hugs part II*

[CyclChyk]

{{{{CWR}}}} I know it sucks right now but one day I promise you are going to wake up and and the pain you feel right now will just be a melancholy memory that will actually make you smile......

Fake lug? I don't see anything that looks like a lug- where i it??
My DH told me that he saw online somewhere some fake STICK-ON lugs that you apply to your bike tubing to make it look lugged- can you bo-LEEVE that???

Here you can click on a close up of a "faux lug":

More faux lugs:

The fake lug is on the top tube just behind the head tube It's hard to see in the picture because of a white bike on a white background. It was really obvious at the LBS. Those faux lugs are ugly as sin.

OK, I'm sure I'll get booted out of TD for asking this but... what's a lug?

KG, if you simply drool at the right time, no one will ever figure out that you don't know. I'll give you cues. When you feel my elbow in your ribs, drool.

Gotta say I am reading/listening to all these Boob comments.......... good to hear all the opinions! The thought of letting someone cut into me, unneccesarily, is awful scary. And probably not worth it!! So I just gotta get over vanity and stick with the padded bras....... lots cheaper and less painful and risky. I should be happy with my health, not take a chance of messing things up, right? Still, something I need to decide for myself.

annie

Vanity schmanity - If ya want boobs, get boobs. It does not make you less of a person or define who you are. I dye my hair. Does that mean I lack esteem? I shave my legs and pits.... am I vain? If I wear makeup and I not happy with what I see in the mirror? If I get a boob job, does that automatically make me a "hooch"?

If you research the doctor and facilites there is no reason why you can't get a good boob job. Modern science is amazing. 3 people I work with have had boob jobs. Not one of them regrets it and only one of them is obviously fake. And even tho its obvious they still look good.

Stereotypes are overrated.

My dear you did what your heart said was right. YOu're a good woman.

I have to post the lyrics to "Don't Give Up"By Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush.

Don't Give Up

in this proud land we grew up strong
we were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

no fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
but no one wants you when you lose

don't give up
'cos you have friends
don't give up
you're not beaten yet
don't give up
I know you can make it good

though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected
thought that we'd be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn

drove the night toward my home
the place that I was born, on the lakeside
as daylight broke, I saw the earth
the trees had burned down to the ground

don't give up
you still have us
don't give up
we don't need much of anything
don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
where we belong

rest your head
you worry too much
it's going to be alright
when times get rough
you can fall back on us
don't give up
please don't give up

'got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below
whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river's flowing
that river's flowing

moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
for every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs

don't give up
'cause you have friends
don't give up
you're not the only one
don't give up
no reason to be ashamed
don't give up
you still have us
don't give up now
we're proud of who you are
don't give up
you know it's never been easy
don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
there's a place where we belong
_______

Again, take care

TD is the place to be during this life event. (I wouldn't've made it through mine without these gals.) PM me if you want.

Helpful hint from my personal experience: don't drink the whole bottle in one night. And if you do anyway, be sure to post on TD all night long!
