Ghoulies October: us v BT (Page 33)

Cool! The Big K is actually on Sat. My bad.

Well, CARP! Thank-goodness you caught it. I would have been sooo pi$$ed to log in on Sunday and have missed it. The time difference works in my favor. I can run for freaking all morning, take an ice-bath and sit back with my computer on the patio in my magic pants for the afternoon. Maybe a quick cupcake run somewhere along the way. 

Ya I know!

I hate ice baths...they are torture. Haha. Cupcakes sound good. (Gluten free of course)

Hi Melindy.  Hi Kim.

This may be sick, but I don't really mind them. Any more than a bath, period. The first few minutes are brutal, but once you are numb from the waist down...whatever.  

Hi IronNeal! 

Confession time: I have never taken an ice bath

This is good.  I was thinking Sunday too.  That would have been upsetting

I'll be taking one on Saturday. Tub is big enough for two. That said, not really conducive for anything other than numbness for me and shrinkage for you. Why bother. 

I'll go back and catch up in a few minutes but I just have to post that people really scare, irritate, and frustrate me.

Some woman in the parking lot of PetSmart this evening offered to trade me her very badly behaving Great Dane Husky mix for my Milo. Um.... I don't think so.

IronNeal, in lieu of numbness and shrinkage I would recommend you head north and see if you can massage whatever is bothering Melindy's leg.

Not that you are not welcome anytime. Just thinking what might be in your best interests. 

WHAT! Did she want to trade a kid as well? Some people should NOT have pets and be removed from the gene pool. 

I spent several minutes talking with her and it was a clear case of the dog isn't the problem it's the owner. I'd bet money that given a little bit of time and training she wouldn't have a bad dog anymore.

First she asked if I wanted another dog, she was going to give me her dog so she could get a Great Dane. When I said my husband would kill me if I brought another dog home she offered to trade. I politely excused myself because I had to get back to puppy class. I wouldn't trade any of my dogs to anyone ever! Not even my misbehaving lab.

I have a good Great Dane, but he's only good because I work with him.

YAY!!! Ppl are here! Hi Ann! Neal!! Hi hi hi!

I find it easier to take them in the winter when I'm already cold. Lately I'll take a cold bath, but no ice. A cold bath, a warm shower, magic pants, a little food, a nap, more food has been my routine and I seen to recover quickly from my long runs doing this.

Glad to hear the interviews went well, Kim.

This is the second time today that one of the ladies has suggested you come north Neal...just sayin. Maybe you should listen

He's still in Pensacola, he'll be back in SD Friday night. I'm not sure why he hasn't been by. Perhaps I didn't threaten him enough.

I have a small space heater that I use to crank up the temperature in the bathroom. I also wear a cut-off hoodie to keep the upper body warm. I get in the tub, turn on the cold water, and when it covers my legs pour in two bags of ice. I make myself stay in until the ice melts. Then it's straight to the warm shower and into the magic pants. I've never been sore the next day. Tired, but not sore. 

He could help you study anatomy.

I got the shivers reading 2 bags of ice and you stay in it until the ice melts.

Kim makes me shiver TopPage!

Bah to campbell's tomato soup...it has wheat flour in it...bah bah bah...

Luckily I just happened to have some Blue Label roasted red pepper and tomato soup in the pantry...so I had some of that and 2 rice cakes with cheese.

My Dad decided to experiment today...not good. and it was pork (vomit vomit vomit vomit)...I can only handle pork at certain times...this was not one of them! So back up plan soup dinner for me!

Thanks Ann. I've been getting too comfortable living the lazy life. Time to get back to work. Hope this turns out positive.  

Come on Melindy! You can hit 3,000!!!
