    Hi all

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Just checking in. Had 2nd date with hiker guy last night. It went well, he mentioned that he'd like to ride with me sometime (notice that says WITH ).

    X and BMo3 have a great time! FWIW, I was in Cinncinati for a ride last Ocober and I would say that Ohio is NOT flat!

    Hope everyone under the weather is feeling better!

    Kit and BM03 - I can't get the smile off of my face. I swear they're gonna put me in the padded room over in the ER soon. As long as they let me out for the weekend, I don't care. (I'll dig through the concrete floor to come see ya Jen) The food here is actually very good and that couch in there is rather comfy, so I'm ok. I'm just trying not to shoot the wrong xrays on people - that's my basic goal for today.

    I'm awaiting the results with hushed breath. This may well turn out to be a 3 kind of story too. I better charge up my camera battery... maybe get an extra one just in case.

    Pleeeeeeeese make it work!!!!!!

    Alright back to the patients now. (I think I may need a pill of some sort soon.)

    eBay lady ripped me off by taking my money, but not sending the item or even contacting me at all. I have filed a dispute. Woo, I am so hopeful...

    This has been a horrible day at work. I have smelled the worst thing ever in my entire life, counting all dead things. I am sitting here with my stomach roiling. My student fled a long time ago.

    BF is a deputy. The medal of valor is for something at work. An incident.

    How far away from BMO3 does X live? Don't be stealing my snake grandchildren!!

    I just purchased (actually work did) $600 worth of toys and stickers for the kids I see daily. Including jointed snakes and stretchy lizards! Gotta get 'em started young!

    Nanci - congrats to BF on the medal! So.....what was the smell? Or do I really want to know....

    X - CINNAMON! CINNAMON! You rock! Thank you for doing this for me!

    I want to go riding in Lancaster County. I've seen photos of different places in PA - looks wonderful.

    We took a couple of the ladies to lunch for their birthdays. You haven't lived until you hit the Asian Buffet with a pack of crazy Filipino women... Since I'm pretty much the only person in my department on this floor, they've adopted me, so I get all kinds of good invites.

    Chloe did a little dance when she went out this morning. Hard to describe, but she kind of kicked out her front leg and hopped sideways....I think she stepped in something and freaked out actually My dog is a fuss pot.

    smells

    Nanci, what was it that smelt rank?

    I think i'll make a 3yr old v happy this christmas-Our manager arranged a gift giving for Good Sammy's (they're an organization that employs handicapped folks but need to find the link..)-anywho-I purchased some Dr Seuss books, an etch a sketch thing, a big bag of blocks & a toy car. I made a note on the bag specifiying it's to go to ONE child.

    Perth's been invaded by Brits!!! The ashes series is here & all i could see yesterday were folks wearing English jerseys, painted faces etc...

    Anyone have a suggestion for the following problem? I have a pair of tri shorts but i feel like a heffalump in them. What can i wear on the bottom? I'm doing an enticer tri on sunday and am concerned.

    have a good day kids.

    Aaah, the horrible heffalump. Pooh and Piglet went hunting for one, dug a hole for it to fall into, and fell into it themselves. Or was it Christopher Robin who had dug the hole they fell into? Oh dear, time to reread classic literature again.

    And what's this edited post I'm missing? How many s is the bidding at now? Or do I have to PM Trek and Knot about it?

    I am so sorry about evil ebay lady. And Nanci, I beg you: DON'T TELL US ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THE SMELL! I can imagine, and I don't want to know. Is the medal of valor for capturing the baby armadillo? That was beyond cute. Perhaps not exactly valorous...

    What part has you concerned, CC? For me it would be covering up the belly. Is that what you're worried about? Wear a longish jersey. There's just nothing to be done about the thighs, girl. They are what they are.

    I'm feeling a lot better than yesterday, but not all better. Funny note: My left hip has been really hurting. I could not figure out why, and, of course, was worried about some hideous bone infection from the streptococci. Then it occured to me. That's where I got the penicillin injection. Oh. Yeah. I'm going to put a heat pack on it and watch Lord Of The Rings again. My throat's still sore, but I can swallow! YAY! I went to Whole Foods and got some Kefir, one of those yogurt drinks. Hoping to ward off any ill-effects of the massive dose of penicillin.

    Oh, heck, CC, just pull on the tri shorts and go for it. I know, I know, I'm hardly one to talk, since I'm always preoccupied with what my belly looks like during a race. But ya know what? Truly, no one cares. And, you will look so darned cute with your reindeer antlers, that everyone will be looking up, not down. Have a great time.

    Lise, you have a gorgeous figure. The awful smell came from a body part above the neck. Something happened to it during anesthesia causing it to swell and protrude to a horrifying degree. I believe it was blistered as well. We couldn't deal with it, and the pt refused our services, anyway. We're all hoping it resolves by some miracle by tomorrow, or it will be revisited.

    BF and I donated 24 stuffed animals to the local Ronald MacDonald House, delivered with the rest of the Harley Owners Group on motorcycle.

    The medal of honor _should_ have been for rescuing the baby. He hasn't gotten it yet- they just told he he would be. PM if you want details.

    Chloe, Chloe, Chloe. She is the canine version of Choco. A new story every day.

    Maizey is contemplating her takeout. Addy downed another small meal- this time, twice out of four, with out additional assistance to open wide- but she really, really, really tried not to swallow. The way they can disloate their lower jaw is freaky. It looks as if it's been broken into five or six pieces, and is all limp and floppy, then seconds later she does some magic and it's stiff and normal again. I think it can dislocate in the center as well as both sides.

    My September SS has disappeared off the face of the earth. The organizer, GLC, graciously sent me a wonderful T-shirt herself.

    At least my SS knows where I am and that I intend to repay my debt to society. ASAP.

    CC- I'd go for the tri shorts as well. At least they stay down. Any time I try to wear some sort of baggy running shorts, they go up my crack and cause endless trouble. Which looks worse than what I imagine the tri shorts to look like. I think they are slimming on anyone!

    X-we have tickets!

    Nanci-where to begin. I am sorry about your day, evil ebay lady, your SS, and the awful smell. Congratulations to your BF! Tell Addy she is a good girl for eating. I hope Maizy enjoys her take-out.

    AG-great news on the dating front. I am only 20 min north of Cinci.

    Snap-think Winnie-the-Pooh.

    Lise-you are teeny and adorable and your stomach is wonderful.

    CC-you will be fine. Everyone is going to be so busy no one will have time to look at anyone else. Anyway, I am sure you will look great. I want a pic of you in reindeer ears.

    Snap-Chloe sounds adorable.

    I am missing quite a bit and I apologize. My brain is fried, it has been a fun and exhausting day all at the same time.

    well, i just did my version of a tri race... I had to go INTO downtown Seattle
    right before a seahawks game during christmas season AND right before the biggest wind storm of the season...
    I made all my stops ALL 4 of them and now I am safe inside. But WHERE is DH?
    he said he'd be home early....

    And the second LBS does not have the stupid wheel cones that i need for my bianchi so THEY have to order them. That means at least 3 more visits to LBS's before i get my bike back.

    Grr.
