TAN #198: Oh What a TANgled Web We Weave. (Page 30)

cgregg - 2013-04-17 10:19 AM Ordered some bike parts from Taiwan two weeks ago and they just arrived!  I wasn't even thinking of expecting them for another week.... it's a nice surprise

I think getting packages is always a fun treat.  Ordered a dishwashing machine part and it came, it's always a bit exciting to see that package at your door or in your mail box.  Even if it's short lived, getting a package is fun...

(that's what she said).

Finally got the rickshaw you were waiting for?

Yes!  With all my recent training, it's gonna be rainin' benjamins now!

edit:  new 10spd brifters and derailleurs for a road bike I'm building.

Taiwan bike parts are best bike parts!

You would dig it...  microSHIFT Arsis road group.  Building up a 2001 P2K frameset as a roadie.

Random thought:  A friend of mine (girl) was just in a wedding in St John.  We been friend for maybe 6-8 months, she is a pretty girl but never thought of her as fit.  Maybe a size 8-10??  

Couple days ago, she post a picture of her in a suit on the beach.  AND-BAM  the girl is ripped underneath.  I am guessing there are plenty of TAN stories of surprises of what you find beneath the layer of clothes, both good surprises and bad.  This one shocked me and made me wonder if people are normally pleasantly surprised or not so much when they see someones body for the first time in a bathing suit or nakked? 

Obviously, I live in a suit so not many surprises

How can we judge for ourselves without any pictures posted????  BTW, yours is BAM!

Holy cannoli! He's aliiiiiiiiiiiive!

Well, I am not sure she want to be posting it here on BT, but she is my friend on FB. 

Scott you are so subtle and sweet.

Off to FB.....

Reminds me of a time I was at the gym.  Saw a girl in super baggy sweat pants and super baggy sweat shirt working out.  She had big glasses on, pale skin, cheeks flushed and hair up in an oversized hat..  I swore she looked like a little book worm and/or librarian.

I went to the spa after my workout and who should come in about 10 minutes later?  My librarian.  She was all bundled up with a towel around her and that hat still on.  I was expecting a super conservative one piece with soft body.  Then BAM!!!  takes the hat off and drops the towel to reveal a six pack, perfect everything else, in a french cut bikini (those were "in" back in the late 80's).  She could have been a bikini model for sure (but with a wall flower librarian face!).

I was stunned.  What a treat for the little geeky boy that marries her and get's to unwrap that!  WIN!

(of course I made a lot of assumptions - I had no idea how she was.  Could have been a party girl BUT, she sure seemed shy and conservative until then).

Exactly, you guys remember when I undressed the guy with man boobs.   Sigh, I still have visions when a man unbuttons his shirt for the first time.

And in the flesh!!!!!

This is especially disappointing when on dating sites they post 4-year old (and 30 pounds ago) photos.

As I have aged, and tend to date older men.  When the first unvailing happens, I routinely hold my breath and try not to look like a deer in the head-lights.  I think I am more visual than most girls??  I have gotten very good at the above the waist feel-up during hugging and kissing!!!

I could go for a really good above the waist feel up.

Being single has some +s, that first kiss with your hands all over each other.....dam it is hot!!!!!

Unless the kiss sucks, and there is no chemistry/spark.....  NEXT!!!!

This belongs in the dating thread....but one first bad kiss and NEXT? Harsh!  

Totally agreed.

At least my 4 years ago and 90 lbs ago was when I was much more FAT.

I have found some women that post pictures. That were Pre Baby don't like to say they have kids till later on and pre 30-40lbs ago.

Just be you and be honest. I would take sexy eyes 30 lbs more and honesty over the dishonesty and less weight.

Weight can be gained or lost. Trusting someone that is hard to gain and lose.

How the heck is everyone.

I am glad it is wed and I am more happy it is like 50 degrees out. I am totally going out on my bike when I get home.

Need to get this winter weight gone off my gut and really just feel better in some sun shine.

Chris I will take your 50 and sunny.  We are under 50 and have about 3.5" of rain right now, and they are still predicting possible snow overnight into Thursday.  It is going to be a drainer/dreadmill evening for me tonight.

Have fun on your ride!!!

keep that crap your way this is the best it has been in a while.

Tomorrow they are calling for 65 but windy and thunderstorms. I haven't seen the sun much lately and it is making me depressed, grumpy and my Engineers that work for me have been paying for my bad attitude lately.

They will have a better day tomorrow if I ride tonight. 

Hi Everyone.  I hope I am not too late to the party
