Elite  4372    Connecticut |  Subject: RE: VIllanous Vampires Team Threadeurydice79 - 2008-10-21 3:57 AM Offthegrid - 2008-10-20 11:18 PM I tried doing a flip turn and nearly drowned. Never could do flip turns. My goal is by my tri in June that I want to be regularly doing flip turns. I think I just need more time in the water. I get out of breath when trying to do a turn.
I swim in a squad and I can't do flip turns. But then again I do swim in the slow, retard -swimmer lane!!! LOL Heh! If I were on a swim team, I'd be right there with you in the slow lane! I need to figure out how to be a speedy swimmer! |

Elite 4372 Connecticut | Subject: RE: VIllanous Vampires Team Thread Slugger - 2008-10-21 1:44 AM Mmm-hmm, I second that. Yum. Though my absolute utter fave is just about to come out - peppermint mocha and peppermint hot chocolate. Christmas was never so good until these became mainstream. Oh yes, God loves me and shows me this through peppermint hot chocolate.I love all things peppermint. Your right, it makes Christmas so much better! One of my favorite times of year! Spearmint is a different story! Not a fan! |

Now there's some haunted house fodder! Never got in to chai tea. One less thing to be tempted by, I suppose! LOL, yup, skillz!!! No chai tea? Ohhhhhh... yummmmers. I'm sure it would taste good with some sort of booze in it but I can't decide what. I'll research that.
Kahlua, Baileys or whiskey I used to have a cat named Kahlua. Now I have a cat named Bailey... hmmmmm... and yes, yes he was named after that Baileys. I can't help it if his coloring made me think of that. The other one's coloring was definitely Kahlua and cream. I might have issues... |

It is really pretty, kind of a yellow with a tint of orange. It has sugar and cinnamon. I'm thinking of doing a chutney with some of it, like a sweet mango chutney, maybe over pork loins or roast. I also think it would make a fabulous fruity bread, maybe a hearty white with the chunks of pumpkin folded in. Or maybe something like cinnamon raisin bread with the pumpkin chunks instead of raisins. I'll let you know how it goes! Wow, you americans sure know how to do a lot of things with pumpkin! I normally just roast it or make it into soup. Looks like I am way behind the 8 ball! All those things sound really yummy. Its just so damn hard to peel!!! I make yummy pumpkin squares with homemade cream cheese frosting. I also make pumpkin soup and, not surprisingly, it has rum in it. I also cheat and use canned pumpkin...

At our local supermarket they've started stocking canned pumpkin filling for a pie, and its sitting in my cupboard ready for me to use it. One of these days I'll make one We have pumpkin everything here for Halloween. Ice cream, coffee, cheesecake, anything you can imagine. I LOVE PUMPKIN PIE!!! Seriously. It's so good. Being gluten-free, though, I now make it without a crust. I just make it the normal way, and it is easy to slice it up and eat it. Yum, yum, yum.
Pumpkin COFFEE???? How on earth do you make that??? A little pumpkin spice flavored syrup courtesy of Starbucks, mayhaps? I don't make my own pumpkin coffee but I can tell you that pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks taste pretty yummy
Ahhh - Starbucks. Sadly I don't have Starbucks in little old Perth. Which is probably actually a good thing, me being the biggest coffee addict on the planet I'm right there with you. Hi, my name is Erica and I am addicted to coffee. My morning is not complete without my coffee in my hand. I love it and must have it! Tomorrow is parent/teacher conferences and I'm thinking I'll bring Starbucks to Exactly!! YOu can really justify anything there with nonfat milk. I love peppermint mochas, too, Slugger. "grande nonfat peppermint mocha... with whipped, please"... they then always clarify... "did you say you want the whipped?" Ummmm, yes, yes I did. I can justify it because I got nonfat milk... DUH. |

My goal is by my tri in June that I want to be regularly doing flip turns. I think I just need more time in the water. I get out of breath when trying to do a turn. Just remember to tuck your chin to your chest and breathe out your nose so you don't get water all up in your brain!!! Took me forever to get it and I still miss the wall every now and then. I just have to laugh at myself! I think the problem is that when I go into the flipturn, I'm so afraid of getting water up my nose that I exhale ALL the air I have. And then when I finish the flip turn, I have no air and have an instinct to breathe in, and THEN I get water up my nose. But I will keep trying! |

Elite 2634 in front of my computer duh! | Subject: RE: VIllanous Vampires Team Thread in response to the cabana boy offering suggestions of things to mix with your chi tea I recommend... amaretto or cinnamon schnapps or kahalua or you could also take any one of these and splash a little chocolate liquor oh... maybe a splash of grand mariner as far as whiskey or scotch goes I would choose a nice smooth scotch that has been aged a little while. those are just my suggestions |

Then, I briefly had a dog named Bailey....but, she had to go back due to heart problems. I might have the same issues!!! |
So, we didn't want to use that name again. Our current dogs (2 golden retrievers) are named after sports people...Kobe and Reggie!| 2008-10-21 1:59 PM in reply to: #1708114 |

I just have to laugh at myself! Exhale all the way through the turn through your nose sort of forcefully but slow and controlled. then the water wont get in. I can do flip turns but I never get myswimming fitness to a level where I feel comfortable doing. Maybe i need to HTFU. There's just no walls in the sea so don't feel the need to push it. |

Hmm, I like mint on its own, but I'm not a HUGE fan of it in chocolate or coffee. |

Actually, Kahlua, Bailey and even JD and Tequila are all very popular pet names, for cats & dogs, so you're completely normal LOL!!! |

I *heart* skim milk! So good for you, so little calories compared to the normal stuff. I switched a long time ago and now I feel sick if I drink normal milk. |
