In a very surprising turn of events, after the temperament testing was done, we were matched with a girl. All signs pointed to a boy up until that point.

How's Mutti? |

How's Mutti? Mutti, who is always my #1 priority, is doing great. She's very stable, happy, still super active walking briskly several km, several times a day. I'm pretty sure her mileage is bigger than mine right now! Alzheimer's is progressing as it will, and she does need to be watched 24hr/day, but we have a truly great crew now. In Bali now, will be in Jakarta a few days between now and Nov. 3 when I leave for Perth. Back in Indonesia Dec. 9, back to Australia early Jan. Some idiot (AKA HUSBAND) thought it was a good idea to sign up for 20km Rottnest Channel Swim late February. It's a miracle neither of us have asked the other for a divorce yet |

HAHA I do this to Kingsley all the time ... it's gotten so that if it's quiet for more than a few minutes, he gives me a very suspicious look and says, "What did you do NOW?" |

![]() | ![]() Originally posted by StaceyK OH MY GOODNESS I CANT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT ANY LONGER!!!! My boss announced today that she is leaving at the end of the year (it may yet be earlier). This is almost even better than my birthday was. In this case it is very definitely not better the devil you know! I was really tempted to dance around the office with joy but it would have been thoroughly unchristian of me to be so joyous about the news in front of her. *clink* cheers to the great news! |

I'm glad you are doing better and that sweet Mutti has a new, improved crew of caregivers. Is there any way we can help Oscar? Send you extra gear for him or something? He sounds so humble, yet so talented. A good heart and a strong heart. Kind of like you and many of the manatees. |

I've seen your posts and glad you're here!Welcome Wienerlisa!!! ![]() With Yanti around, none of our secrets are safe! What's a secret? :P Must be something like underwear (what's that?) or that no-place where the 2nd socks go (although if 2 socks are clean -- enough -- they match). No idea why my formatting is all screwy! IMPORTANT TOPIC I know it's been discussed here and the main forums in BT as well. For better (for us) or worse (for BT), it seems this group has become the Best of BT and a kind of BT haven. Believe me, I understand the (many) reasons why some of us aren't more active in the main forums. "Stay out of tri talk" used to be something Manatees and TANners alike said to me nearly daily! I also know many of us have done a lot of (free) work for the site--advice, beta testing, mentoring, etc.--and really felt like we weren't being listened to or appreciated. Ron's ears are open. They have to be. I think there is much of BT that's good, that's not obsolete, and still the best of its kind available. Just throwing it out there.
Hi Yanti, glad to see you and Kingsley and Mutti are doing well! As far as the BT topic - I have to say that I haven't been in tri talk in forever. My BT time is spent in this forum, in the logs and race reports. I don't know if it's the site or me, but there ya have it! |

Most of my BT experience is keeping up my logs, and being a silent observer of the pod, mostly. Man, the last time I was active in TT was in 2012 before I joined the pod. |

Then I popped over here and saw it got a few mentions, and I thought, "whoops, guess I should have brought it here instead." |

I have a ton of gear that I don't use and would love to see someone (especially Oscar) get some use out of it. Just let us know what he needs. Always good to hear from you. |

My BT time is spent in this forum, in the logs and race reports. I don't know if it's the site or me, but there ya have it! ![]() It's getting some responses now, both Lisa and Steve from here have commented there. Along with a few others. Discussions like that can be a little slow in TT at times. Corporate type talk tends to be. Need some of the right people to take interest and then it might go some. I've been splitting time between a couple mentor groups and TT for a couple years now. Different mindsets and interests in each. TT has actually calmed down notably. I don't mean slow with this, but more with how worked up some people were getting. Seems to be less of that these days. |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Hot Runner I think I officially have a new weird injury. (I specialize in these. I almost never get "normal" injuries.) I seem to have developed tendinitis in one wrist from muscling the kayak around. Was worried how it would feel swimming, but It affects nothing except that I cannot do an open turn (the kind one does if one doesn't know how to flip, or within/between laps of breast stroke or butterfly) without it being pretty painful (pulling with paddles doesn't sound like a good idea, either). Crazy....the last time I was injured (bruised ribs) I could not do a flip turn. Came close to laughing myself silly DQ-ing myself almost every lap on a 400m IM this afternoon--one-handed turns on all the two-handed stuff and finally a resort to a breast stroke flip turn. My colleague who swam competitively in college and was there coaching some kids kept looking at me like, "Since when did you forget how to swim?" Maybe only Yanti will appreciate how silly it must have looked. About to hit the Advil--I don't normally but it's driving me nuts as there are a lot of random motions in life where you rotate or push with your wrist. Ouch. Oh no, is it getting better? Sorry to hear that. I absolutely love kayaking. Do you do it often? Mary |
