    Okay book marked!

    Yay, I was worried we would lose you!! Now how do we drag @Francl27 back to show her how to bookmark?

    Oh no it's been bookmarked! I just wasn't home much at all today and I don't know if I'll find the courage to catch up with 10+ pages. Maybe tomorrow... I have nothing planned.

    Can we just cancel today? :unamused:
    As I've mentioned, hubby is out of town, and now just so happens to be the perfect time for Raelynn to get sick. As in, puking all over the bathroom and kitchen sick. She refuses to eat, just wants water, and is currently lying down in her bed watching a movie as that's all she wants to do. Not to mention, the actual act of vomiting was enough to trigger one of her daily multiple anxiety attacks. Needless to say, at this point neither one of us is concerned at all about eating and not really doing much of anything else either. :frowning:

    I'm sorry, that really stinks. I hope you both feel better.

    I bike to work every day...today is "Bike to Work Day" in Denver.

    I confess that I call it "Amateur Hour" because all these people clumsily trying to load their bikes on the light rail, rubbing their tires on my pants, riding without helmets, running red lights, riding down the middle of the street & just generally being clueless bicyclists is making me VERY STABBY THIS MORNING

    I admit I don't know a lot about biking, but I'm trying to figure out how and why people are rubbing their tires on your pants. I just can't picture it without some very strange mental images popping into my head. :o

    LOL

    When I bike in to work, I'm in my work clothes. It's mostly downhill, so I don't get all sweaty in the mornings.

    I bike about 7 miles, and then take light rail the rest of the way. When you load your bike on light rail, you have to stand with your bike at either end of the car; 2 bikes max per end.

    When you board with a bike & there is someone else there with a bike, you do your best to keep your bike away from the other person, so your tires don't rub against their legs/pants. (It's a kind of bike commuter etiquette thing.)

    When newbs climb aboard, flailing their bike up the stairs, they are completely oblivious to everyone else & inevitably will rub their tires against you, unless you ward them off with your feet. Bike tire grime is about equivalent to engine compartment grime - black & impossible to wipe off.

    After work I change into shorts & a tank, so I can get my sweat on cranking up the hills.

    I know it sounds bizarre...welcome to my world!

    That is way more tame than I was imagining, but it still stinks. I kept picturing someone reaching their tire forward and rubbing it down your leg all while staring at you with the whites of their eyes entirely exposed.

    Put down 37 miles over 3 rides today. 7 to work, 13 back home and a 17 mile 'restless evening' ride. Funny thing is I've hardly ate anything today. No breakfast (normal for me) a tiny 220 calorie lunch and at home I had 3 whole wheat fajita tortillas filled with refried beans and some shredded cheese. Same exact goes for yesterday. I feel strong, no soreness and I stay hydrated so until I stall, I am staying the course because it's hard to deny the results.

    Confession... It irritates me when people quote someone that posted a bunch of photos without removing said photos in their reply. Confession 2... IRL I would totally judge some of the decisions people make then whine about. You're an adult and you made an adult decision so deal with the adult consequences and shut up. :naughty: (But I am not judging so I will be like Kermit and sip mah tea)

    Oh and I found my mom (dang her!) left a huge fresh cooked brownie here at my house. I can't deny it as I am powerless against food that somehow made it's way into my safe haven away from temptation. And I am too frugal to throw it out. Whatever... I'm about to eat the thing so it will be gone. (<-adult decision) NO RAGRETS

    So you want us to delete photos... I'll try and figure out how. I don't see what the big deal is frankly I just skip by them but will try in the future. Might screw up quotes but I'll try.

    Good job on the ride.

    Heal quickly @kellienw335 ! I went nuts earlier this year when I couldn't really use my legs to even walk.

    Thank you! You've never, that I remember, said exactly what happened in your accident. It sounds really bad. Care to share?

    Please don't take what I said as a passive personal attack or anything. It's not that big of a deal but IMO it adds clutter to the threads. I try to zoom by them while at work because photos stick out way more than text does.

    Thanks pofoster. I am working up to a century, not sure if it will be this season but I am trying, just need to gain some support by way of riding friends. 4 years of cycling and I've never joined a group or have friends that carry the interest so I guess in the immortal words of the Geico commercial... I am a loner... and a loner's gotta be alone! (I am changing that this season though with the help of a new co-worker that's a board member of the local cycling group RABA)

    The brownie was gooood. :blush: And now it's gone so I can have some peace of mind. lol

    My son and I were playing outside a little earlier and I noticed just how bad our rose bushes and flower garden have gotten overrun with weeds. I started pulling the weeds and of course, he wanted "to help"...so I let him toss the pulled weeds into a pile. Anyway, some neighbors walked by and started chatting with him and asked what he was up to. His reply? "Just doing weed with Mama"!! I almost died....and quickly cleared it up that we were WEEDING not doing weed.

    This is so funny!!!

    And I LOVED the furbaby photos!!!

    I've mentioned before that I still smoke cigarettes, which I do in the garage. One day my son and the neighbor kid were in the garage and the neighbor kid said our garage was stinky. My son said, "yeah, mom smokes drugs in here". Uh, no!

    I am watching Friends, and I have thought this a couple of times, but is it just me or do they have WAY too many recap/flashback episodes??

    I am on season nine and love this show so far.

    I fall all the time when I run. I don't pick my feet up enough. I have broken several walkman/discman over the years. Thank God for iPods. Although I did break my iPod when it fell off my waistband in a portapotty once. :(

    I have banged my knees up and scraped my hands, but most of the damage was to the portable players.

    POF: sorry you are feeling sad. You should try to address it with your boss. If you can


    Thanks. Its pointless. My company is just not like that. I am over it now. Just more ammunition on why the culture of this company is terrible. But I appreciate the sentiment.

    Sorry, but you'll have to be Patricia in my mind, because POF just makes me think of the dating site Plenty of Fish.

    Me too but I didn't want to say it so in my mind she is also Patricia

    That is funny. Patricia is preferred, but its a mouthful so I accept POF. But you can go for Patricia. :)
