NM, now I can see it. Is that a bowl of candy???

Yes. Not crappy candy either; it's usually Hirshey kisses, Hirshey nuggets, M&Ms, snickers etc. I'm happy to say that in the last 3 weeks or so I've only had 3 pieces - all of which have been this week!

You fancy!!!!

Damn lawyers.

Alright, I just signed up for a 2-day bike event and am like 5 seconds away for agreeing to join a Ragnar team. It's been a while since I have graced a fan full of people with my absolutely disgusting post run stickiness.

Some allergies, but that's because I'm around the cats again after a few days. My hips were fine the whole time I was gone even with all the walking. After one day home, it hurts. I think it's my mattress. Is that at all possible?

Abberlutely.

Supportive mattress, pillow that holds head in neutral position, and if on your side, pillow between the legs and possibly a boyfriend pillow between the arms. I have no idea what that's called in the States.

None of that's going to hurt (mattresses can be expensive unless they're futons), and if you're having problems, definitely worth a try.

Agree, a bad mattress can lead to all sorts of aches and pains.

One FURIOUS MANATEE reporting in today.

I have been in contact with the LBS again...yes, the frame on order is MY frame.....it is STILL another 6-8 weeks out.  WTF??? I was told that over a month ago!  I will be calling Blue directly to verify this.  The LBS offered me a discount on anything he had in stock but that would negate any honoring of the credit I currently have with Blue. 

So not sure who to be angry with ....the poor communication from LBS or the LACK of customer support from Blue or BOTH.

How frustrating!  Yes, definitely call Blue yourself.

Funny, in my mind it was all uphill into the wind

Starky got out in front with a good sized lead right out of T1. Jesse caught him at mile 11.5 or 12 of the run. I had a good seat to watch the run battle from. Man, did watching that race open my eyes! Best volunteer job I have had.

So, my friend was dating the booty pillow model for a while.

Talk about bragging rights.

I am sure this could help your hips somehow or another ...

Originally posted by Richardsdrr VENT.............so angry, and disgusted, with the terrorist attack in London yesterday. What the f... Are these people on? Hacking off the head of a British soldier in broad daylight in the middle of S.London. Like, WTF? I feel sorry for the guys family having to see that attack broadcast all over the news. Makes me think back to when I used to be on guard outside St Jame's Palace and how often people used to come up to you and hit you. I thought, one of these days I will drive this bayonet through your skull you pathetic individual, now go away...........rant over.

I don't understand terrorism at all.  {{shakes head}}  An awful situation.

Ha ha, you should see the number of people who just have to stop by to ask an "important" question and who ends up leaving with handfuls/ pocketfuls of candy. It's amusing to watch them try to be discrete as they load up!

Welcome back!  It's very good news about your hip! Clearly I missed the mattress part.  Sorry that they are acting up again.

Oh, you think I cleared this with her? HA!

She's just lucky that I'm not attempting my Rainier summit 2 weeks before the Oly.

In fact, the boys are talking about doing it the week or two after, which is great because I was questioning my sanity if I was going to do it amidst this heavy training right before and "A" race.

eff you.

 

And you know what? Speaking of heavy?? I gained 4 lbs!!!

I don't think I can afford to worry about "managing" that though, because I have been ravenous and I might kill someone if I don't fulfill the needs.

Just because EVERYBODY is dying to know (if you were here, you'd just be dying) ... the good news is that my unanticipated chili explosions have ceased.

The bad news is that I'm ripping ginormous farts that smell like burnt plastic. Far more noxious than run-of-the-mill sulphurous or even canine-style farts. They're making my eyes water.

Well, I shall certainly at least consider the offer. Thank you

I've gained 4 kilos since IMNZ. I think I'm also at least 4in shorter than you are.
