July Team Captains Pow-Wow (Page 4)

Anna,

You misunderstood that reply to Lane. Lane (CAVU) said "But do I think the rules changed were by recommendation of someone else, yes! "

That is what I was replying to. No one recommended any changes to me. That is the "NO ONE" I was referring to. I wasn't saying no one had questioned the scoring; I was saying that my calculations were devised without anyone's recommendation as Lane was claiming.

Oh My Gosh! When did swimming/biking and running become so complex? Who cares how this thing is scored? Just do your best to make your goals and move on. It's all good, people... all good. I'll tell you one thing... I don't have the faintest idea how this thing is being scored... and I don't care. I see I've got some swimmin' bikin' and runnin' to do in order to make my actual numbers match my goal numbers, so I'm gonna get to it!

GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO Team Hoss!

Group Hug,

Whizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

All Miss Piggy is good for is running after Kermit!

Heee heee

Courtney, Whizz, Max, Kim, anyone else of the Kinder/Gentler Nation, etc etc etc...

Lane and I are Type A personalities; we can strongly and pointedly disagree and no tears will be shed. I only take things personal when they are made personal (the part about rigging the scoring). Lane has said he didn't mean it that way. I think he understands that the calculations for scoring were not a personal attack on his team. We are square. It's ok.

Go back to smack talking! As for me, I've got to mentally get off that hammock and start making placements.

I just want to give you a big ENFJ hug!

And why do you keep changing your avatar???? I liked the "guns" shot!

Whizzzzz....

I don't want to be President... but I'll gladly be "Secretary of the Kinder/Gentler State"

Attention Captains:

I'm making a plea on behalf of kimj81 (who has temporarily relenquished captain duties). One of our athletes (Gwozdzilla) has a severe health issue and I'd like to request that she be exempt from her bike goal. Below is a  copy of her post from the "Team Hoss" thread. It may be TMI, but it gives you a sense of what she's dealing with. Note that she is swimming and running through all of this; we only want her to be excused from her run goal. Thanks for your consideration.

Gwozdzilla's post:

Howdy team!  Well the good news is that I am 14 yards from my swim goal and 9 miles from my run/walk goal.  The bad news..... 365 miles to meet my bike goal.   I haven't been on my bike for a couple of weeks and don't know if I will be on it for awhile, which soooo sucks for me.  I love my bike.  My tummy issues are starting to clear up somewhat but I have been dealing with a new, fun, exciting, joyous problem for the last 2 weeks that is not getting better..... internal hemorrhoids complete with anal fissures!  Wow what fun.  After  a series of embarrassing questions:  Doc: "So why are you here today?",  Me: "Um, I can barely sit and when I have a BM it feels like red, hot razor blades are coming out my butt".  LOL. Doc: "Have you had anal sex recently?", Me: "not that I know of", Doc: (looking down at the ground) "Have you inserted anything into your rectum recently?", Me: "what? oh, I see where you are going with this... let me ease your pain...this is strictly an EXIT ONLY orifice.  No entry. One Way.  Do not enter.  Dead End.  Turn around here.  U-turn ONLY."  He was so trying not to laugh and I really wanted him to (I have a great relationship with my doctor) , I was hoping to break the ice for the exam part.  I don't know if anyone here has had such issues but it's pretty tough to stay serious when the doctor is holding what looks like a big megaphone in one hand and a curling iron looking device in the other knowing where he's headed.  

Anyhoo..... fissures have improved greatly, downgraded from razor blades to cactus, "butt" the other stuff is not repsponding to any treatment thus far.  Something about them being catagory 3 (and I don't think he's refering to any of the mountains in France) and looks like surgery may be in the cards very soon.  Nice. Sorry if that was TMI but after all this I have no shame left!

GO TEAM HOSS!

Jim,

It was bad enough to read her log entry the first time - you had to post it for me to see a second time?! I just looked away. You can post it but you can't make me read it - again!

I have no objection to allowing Gwowzdizilla to count just 2 sports. I'd like to hear what the others have to say.

Lol...it was painful for me to post it, but I was afraid saying she has "butt issues" wouldn't have had the same impact, oe elicited the same amount of sympathy. But I hear ya...

Well, as no one has raised any objections to the Team Hoss request for Gwozdzilla's exemption, then I say exemption is granted.
