Mad Manatee Mentors CLOSED (Poptart/pet pic bribes?) (Page 35)

As in NEON?

October 22 was the last time I was in the pool. And it's only been 3x in the last four months. Eeeeek! The chemical smell was eye-watering. I'd forgotten  But my nose didn't drain every time I leaned over. Hooray! (oh wait, is that good or bad?)

Well, boooooo. Sorry about that. How annoying and stressful...like you can just keep rearranging and rescheduling your life. I hope you get law-backed closure soon.

Deal. Didn't I tell you not to buy her a new bed ... wait, is that part of your, I mean their, COUCH?

Haha re. Lilo ... it's like kids, if there's no crashing, clawing, or crying, SOMETHING IS UP.

They learn their new names pretty quickly too.  When I picked up Penny, her name was Daisy.  It took us about 25 minutes to get from her foster home to our house.  During the drive, I kept on saying things like, "Good Penny!" and "Penny, you're going to like your new yard/house/bed."  Anyway, by the time we got to Chez Kizer, she knew to respond to Penny.

Penny was a trip.  When we adopt her she was a 7 yo black lab (OK, she was a black lab the whole time) who was pretty sure that we couldn't see her in the dark and that if she was not on the sofa when we got home, she had not been on the furniture at all (Uh, Penny, we SAW YOU jump off the furniture as we were pulling into the driveway and we can FEEL THE WARM SPOT.)  Yeah, I think that she gave us the paw from time-to-time.

That kitten is too cute!  And Stacey, I always love pictures of your little puppies!!

Woo Hoo, Congratulations!!

Yeah the Kurt Kinetic is highly lauded.  If my Nashbar special ever dies I'll get one of those.

Congrats.  Teams are fun!

That's pretty much life dealing with the legal justice system...

lol....so just annoying and stressful?

Kurts are definitely on their preferred list for the virtuals - but the BIG BIG expensive one is the next one up I don't love riding indoors THAT much LOL

I picked up a KK within the last month.  My last one didn't have a flywheel, and that makes a huge difference.  I'm able to spin faster, which is more my natural cadence.

What's fun (irritating) is sitting in the courtroom, next to the prosecutor, and being completely irrelevant/invisible when they are setting dates/times for future court dates.

Asked J to change my broken platform pedals to my old clipless so I could go for a little flat desert ride last night. All went well...until I looked at the bottom of my shoes. Cleats? Nowhere to be found. After a few minutes of searching and toying with using J's shoes with extra socks, I said forget it. Pretty disappointed because I had gotten all mentally ready  The positive side is that my new pedals are ordered, and my Edge 500 was one click away. We decided that even on sale we should wait a few weeks until his job stuff shakes out.

The wheels of justice grind slowly  The more accurate, but still doesn't make it easier when you're stuck in it, answer is that we have way too many cases (both criminal and civil) and far too few judges and prosecutors.  Plus, the bad guy generally likes to draw things out for various strategic reasons and too many judges -because of their huge case loads and because they don't want to risk being reversed by a higher court if they press the bad guy too hard to get things moving , let it happen. 

Sorry, just let my legal geek out a little 

try spitting on them and see if they see you then!
