medic0020's Group - CLOSED--BUSTIN AT THE SEAMS (Page 14)

Wow, Amy that is nice of you to say! Funny, I was showing my daughter your picture this morning while lurking on BT...You look FABULOUS darling! and IMFL in 2010 is a super goal!!! but sure we will meet before then!

Amy (SD) thanks for ALLLLLLL your inspiring words....they really do mean a lot.....I was given a massage at the Catamaran Spa in Mission Bay from my daughter. She wants me to sign up for a run of some sort near her and then use the massage after.....she's the best! so, I am looking at the races in your area...if you find one that you are doing March and after....let me know. I would love to run with (or behind) you. ;o)

Pam - you remind of my daughter...and that is a VERY good thing! thanks for all the kind words you send my way! and yes, of course you can join us in the 2010 IM...hopefully you will bring a tow rope for the swim! ;o) I will pay you back in the bike!!!

Dazzling, Sparkling, Glittery Dee thanks for inspiring me and looks like many others to challenge ourselves in Jan.

Emerson you got me beat with 56. Im a product of 57.

Chris and Eric - thanks for being the ones that go out and save peoples lives...you are heroes and often get overlooked when it comes to rewards and pay!!! ;o) Be safe out there tonight! there will be many yahoos to deal with...

Chris...you should get involved in Jan challenge. You set your own goal....Set it low and go!...

Mike - hoping you will find lots of time in 2008 to meet your goals....get your daughter involved...

Looking forward to my quiet evening with my daughter and husband. We just bought salmon, portobello mushrooms, and lots of fresh vegetables for the grill. My daughter is making cheesecake with fresh fruit topping...Bought my husband a firepit for Xmas and he has it staged and ready to light. My daughter and I just bought a bottle of Champagne and a jar of Mango for mixed drinks and we have a good bottle of wine....

damn there goes the poundage I lost....

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!

You can haul my butt on the bike whenever you want.  I'll just take a nap...okay?  I'd be happy to tow you...hopefully will be even better in the water by then  

I love the glitter Dee... it is amazing! Keep it up!

How does everyone feel about posting totals in anything they feel they did well this year on the board so we can see how great everyone did and how much we are going to pound it into the ground next year?  I'll start as soon as I find the numbers! 

So here are my numbers.... biking not as good as last year...but running a ton better than last year and some nice numbers in other areas!  It was a pretty good year!

Wow....very clever Dee! I am not sure I want to ask what you do for an encore... ;o)

Happy New Year.....hope everyone is whooooping it up and having a great end of 2007~!

Here is wishing all a happy and prosperous new year!

Julie,

Is there something appropriate or sad that the two 50 year olds are posting on New Years Eve?  I can tell you, Peggy and I will be long asleep before the clock strikes 12 midnight here...

Also, the Big Sur Marathon is Sunday, April 27th.  I expect to fly in on Friday and fly out on Monday.  I will keep you posted, meeting you and your husband there would be a real treat. 

All the jokes about us posting on New Years Eve aside, we are home safe and sound and not with the drunken lunatics that Chris and Eric are trying to save from themselves.   As I do some odd jobs around the house this morning before a seven mile tempo run, I am happy that we are ready for a new day and not cleaning up the mess of anyone's stupid behavior the night before.

Chris and Eric,  Thank you for what you do.   On March 30th, 2003 a quick thinking group of EMTs saved my wife's life.  We are always thankful.

Good Morning All...

Looks like many of you have been busy changing profile pics....I will try and get one of my recent ones up in the next few days....this my daughters last day here...flying home tonight...so I am not going to spend time today.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE.....

Hope everyone meets and exceeds thier goals and expectations for the new year! and btw....LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Go ahead and ROAR like a tiger Amy! You deserve it! Great attitude! Stay fired up! you will go far! see you in Florida! ;o)

Hey there Eric....whatever happen to the person who wanted to join...what was decided!?

Hope you had a quiet evening last night and there were little if NO calls...Wishful thinking, eh!? Happy New Year!

Let's see--highlights of last night--
*22 calls including 8 in one 45 min period
*"I see your gold teeth moving"--quote of the night from a female cop who had just told one of the many "revelers" to shut up when he kept talking.
*"Hey, are you a taxi?"--heard way too many times last night.  The drunks couldn't get a cab so they were stopping personal vehicles in traffic and offering to pay for rides home.  Sounds perfectly safe doesn't it?  Scared the crap out of me as a dad to see how many women were doing this.
*I can't tell you many barely covered female butts (literally, not just the poor wardrobe choices many of them had already made on a 30 degree night) we saw, most of them as they were drunk out of their minds and lying on the sidewalk or being carried by their male friends.
*and of course the two times I was nearly hit by a car while riding my bike last night--the first time less than 5 mins after leaving our station for the first time.  A freakin' parking valet looked right at me and then turned in front of me with a $75,000 Mercedes.  I'd have been an expensive ornament

Eric,

I hope you get a very good and well deserved solid and undisturbed night's sleep.  You earned it... I never thought of Charlotte as such a wild place...
