TinkerBeth  23096     Liverpool, New York |  Subject: RE: The Chronicles of Twisnibbins, aka Nibbins NotesNibbins Notes – 11/21/07 – Part II Cat – the party was awesome! You can find a full report HERE. She did say that hopping in and out of a small cart thing and on to a carousel horse in heels and a dress is HARD! My personal favorite quote is “I feel happy and attractive” – you go girl!!! Kristen – popped in to say Hello and Happy Thanksgiving! She’s making cheesecake for dessert tomorrow ;-) Donto – Poor guy, he was the only one at the office today so he was flooded with work and had no time to play :-(. Scott – His house in Mississippi finally sold! Yippeee Kendra – Got in her training session (as did Beth). She got a lot of errands done and has joined the rest of us in shamelessly padding her post for more stars – LOL – Nice *stars* Kendra! We all want to travel with Kendra, she is now one of those people that gets to board first on Delta – Niiice! – How did the Tennis match go? Dee – tried unsuccessfully to turn us all into a bunch of Warty, hairy TOADS. – (shhhh, don’t tell her, she really thinks she has the power) – must be some sort of reaction to the Little Debbie overload yesterday – LMAO. Hmmmm, Dee is deprived, she’s never had a massage and doesn’t own any nail polish – I’m sure Max will loan you some! (I’m sure you could get some volunteers for a massage – lol) Heather – sounded almost disappointed that the curse didn’t work as she would have taken advantage of it and hopped right out of work! Max - wearing his purple hair in the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot, I needed a complimentary nail polish and decided on Cover Girl's #558, "Grapevine" - and he’s looking for some input. His wig will be the same color – you gotta love a guy that’s color coordinated So Fresh so Clean – stopped in to visit Twisnibbins and totally busted Beth talking to herself while she was catching up with what happened while she was working out and watching a movie (oops, I just included something about myself in the Nibbins Notes, I must be slipping – oh wait, am I talking to myself again? Amy – MWAH – back at you!!! She’s getting a massage on Friday – sounds mahvelous! She’s a little askeered about doing a tri – Looks likes she needs some encouragement from the Nibbins!! Judi – her day was a 6 on the suck-o- meter. Based on how her days have been going, this is a plus. Send positive thoughts and wishes to her as she has to work until 3 pm tomorrow – may it be an easy and quick day!!! And, she is in search of Phasers – LOL (we need to keep sending good mojo for a career change) Yanti – is going out for food and bowling with friends tonight – have fun Yanti!! Hector – fried some turkeys, drank some beer (one, so he says) and is preparing for friends and family to arrive Pam – stopped in to say hi, provide some sound advice about frying turkeys and let us know she is going to refrigerate her pies Sal – made a late night appearance to clarify the term jockstrapping, Thanks Sal!

TinkerBeth 23096 Liverpool, New York | Subject: RE: The Chronicles of Twisnibbins, aka Nibbins Notes Nighttime Nibbins 11/21/07 – special edition – Cat was a very tired girl, so Hector offered to tuck her in tell her an action adventure story (evidently singing lullabies isn’t Hector’s thang – LOL). Soooooo, you will have to read about Gustov and how he crashed into Cat’s room, swinging from a vine with his bushy chest hair exposed due to his half open pirate shirt?????? LMAO
Non-BT person: "So what did you do last night?" Dee: "Well, I was star-watching a lot." Non-BT person: "Oh, I love astronomy too." Dee: "Huh?"
Dee: "OK, so we all talk about, well, pretty much about nothing. But it takes a lot of time to do that. Which is why I don't have time for anything else. Including sleep. But I do eat a lot of Little Debbies..... And every now and then, we talk about swimming, or else Hector tells us a bedtime story.... And on occasion, I turn everyone into toads.... And Cat found her fishnets in the bathtub. Although she couldn't remember why she put them there."
Sal: Is thankful for Freedom, family, friends and his good health. Ran his 5k this morning and spent the day enjoying friends, family, and food Hector: Went to the beach to try out his new wetsuit. Got some advice from some seasoned swimmers on the zipper being in the back. He had a short but good swim, which gave him a lot of confidence in the water. He is feeling really ready for his race! He had a house full of family and noisy joy for the holiday. Max: Max and Patti did a 5k this morning and have plans to eat an 18lb turkey – lol, I guess I know where we can go for leftovers! He showed remarkable restraint at dinner – and worked out! Kendra: popped in to say “ribbit, ribbit ribbit, croak.” OHHHHH NOOOOO, Dee’s spell worked, she done turned Kendra into a Toad! Judi – Had a 0000000 day on the suckometer!!! The ER was slow and not stressful. Yaaaaay, I guess all of our positive thoughts for her must have helped! She is now also an Expert after one season of tries and a few challenges of yapping! LOL Heather – stopped in to say howdy – she said something about searching ads online – hmmm, I wonder what she’s looking for? Mila: had a great conversation with her 9 year old about what food items at dinner were healthy, in the end, Mila’s advice was for her to stick with the ham – lol. She enjoys the southern tradition of moms drinking wine preparing everything but the Turkey, while the men drink beer, fry turkeys and watch the children – oh, and any advice on how to log hamster chasing would be appreciated ;-). Cat: Has been working on the swim challenge – woo hoo. She has a dentist appointment and is not looking forward to it at all. Pam: Is looking for tips on a liquid diet to make up for multiple Thanksgiving feasts Happy Thanksgiving to all! Edited by lastcall2003 2007-11-22 11:52 PM |

TinkerBeth 23096 Liverpool, New York | Subject: RE: The Chronicles of Twisnibbins, aka Nibbins NotesNibbins Notes 11/23 It’s been kind of slow in Twisnibbins the past few days. Lots of folks are traveling, shopping, decorating, and entertaining family and friends. (although I would venture a guess that we probably still had more activity than most threads – LOL) Yanti – has finally earned the title that matches her stars – she is now to be referred to as Master Mistress Yanti Max – Did not battle aggressive moms at Walmart for the latest bargains. Posted a rainbow of nail colors for us to select from – The color on the left ring finger won the vote (now if I only knew which color that was, hmmmm) – it must have taken a while to paint each nail a different color! His A race for next year will be the November edition of the Ironman of Arizona – GO MAX!!!!! Sal – had lots of honey dos yesterday and had a bowl of cheerios and three mint bars, for breakfast, which was promptly followed by a shameless double post! Lol. Despite lots of casual walkers and strollers, Sal managed to do an awesome job in his race Mila- Saturday got off to a bit of a rough start and she had to wait until later in the afternoon to get her manicure and swim in (Sal is it true that you question Mila’s ability to follow a training plan? LOL). Mila is sporting a lovely manicure featuring OPI’s Romeo and Juliet Pam – Slept until 11 on Friday (can you say heaven?) Heather –braved the early morning sales at ToysRUs. Got what she was looking for and doesn’t regret her decision to stick it out. Did the Circuit city order go through? Ahhh, the secret of avoiding the long lines at Kohls is to purchase a jewelry item and check out at the jewelry counter – clever! Kendra – spent Friday morning shopping with the hubby and managed to get an extra 10% off of her items at Kohls – she was definitely in the right place at the right time!. She did not ride the silver comet, due to weather conditions. Has 2 trees up with lights and is busy planning a party already! Kristen – is having a WONDERFUL time with her family. She is spending lots of time playing with her kids! Discussion TopicsManicures and nail polish colorsThe November Arizona Ironman Wine Edited by lastcall2003 2007-11-24 5:01 PM |

TinkerBeth 23096 Liverpool, New York | Subject: RE: The Chronicles of Twisnibbins, aka Nibbins Notes Nibbins Notes 11/24/2007: Kendra – had to work at the library, we’ve all been invited to her Holiday Party, but please disregard the date, in her invitation, it’s really the 8th, not the 6th – do you suppose that was meant to throw us off? LOL, bring a Toy for ToT (she’s a little askeered because Kristen and Mila could actually show up at her party – LOLOL) Sal – Went for a run in sub freezing temps. BRRRR. He did not miss Kendra’s hint for painted toes (yes Sal I know I still owe you a pic, my camera is charging….) Heather – went for a run, it was also cold and she hit a few icy patches. She’s working with her hubby to help him set goals – he’s going to be doing a marathon Kirsten – is having a great time with her family and cannot wait to get home for good, it wont be long!!! Hector – had a great day, took another swim in his wetsuit and was comfortable. He got an email that confirmed what he had already discovered, the route for the race is slightly longer than advertised – no worries for Hector though, he is READY!!! Amy – Had her first massage – Loved it! Her ankle is still bothering some – maybe she should pull out the boots with the 3” heels again – LOL. Her hubby is home, so they’re going to be decorating the house for the holidays! Scott – his run on Thursday sucked, too many people, he had a nice Thanksgiving, joined REI, doubled is running mileage from last year and he is ready for the Marathon! Cat – was missing from Twisnibbins for 36 hours – she needed a mental health day. She’s seriously cranky (for real) over the outcome of the election. Mila – procrastinating on house cleaning, instead drinking wine and hanging out on-line, nothing wrong with her choice in my mind ;-) Wow, Mila had never been to BK until 6 years ago when she moved to Atlanta! Pam – had a yummy Andes Mont milk shake from Jack in the Box. She needs help snapping out of her sugar and junk food binge - pretty sure I wouldn’t ask Dee for advice on this one! ;-) Sharon – has had a lovely weekend with friends and family – she has one more play day on Sunday. Enjoy Sharon! Lyssa – stopped by to visit only to find the thread still in a Turkey Coma! Dee – a little birdie told me she’ll be home on Sunday! Hope she has had a wonderful weekend!
Discussion Topics Did Scott peak too soon???? (marathon training people! Shhhhesssh! LOLOL)
ps I've been busy decorating my house, hanging out with my kids, I went out with a friend Friday night and of course stayed out way too late! On tap for Sunday - Laundry of course - LOL Edited by lastcall2003 2007-11-25 10:45 AM |

Her nearly 1 yr old is making it difficult for her to get any decorating done – any volunteers to baby-sit? Judi – has a cat that loves to climb the Christmas tree – LOL, now that would be a challenge. Her 12 yr old daughter has messy room syndrome, although I don’t know too many that don’t! ;-) Kendra – got a really cool new phone! Her PF is acting up, so has had to walk rather than run - :-(. She’s working until Thursday, then it’s off to Vegas and her ½ Mary on Dec 2. Fellows – hello – she’s looking for some motivation! ;-) Sharon – is back from a lovely weekend and has explained to us why she recommends not putting tinsel on a tree if you own a cat – ewwwww, LOLOL Mila – her dog once ate a bag of holiday wrapped hershey’s kisses – ummmm, let’s just say that she got a very colorful surprise – Cat – is looking for Simpson’s Christmas ornaments, only knows what to buy for her brother and is still confusing her bathtub with a laundry basket. She is planning an awesome feast for Chrissie! Yum, I gained 10 lbs, just reading about it. Hector – is a true triathlete!! Yaaay Hector :-). Judi – is hoping that her daughter will outgrow the messy gene’s she inherited – LOL She also posed a very interesting poll regarding what happens to race numbers after the race is over ;-) Pam – spent the day sightseeing in the mountains – now, that sounds lovely! She and her family have a wonderful tradition of buying ornaments that celebrate the wonderful places they have been together. Kristen – stopped in on her way back to Atlanta – she is packed and ready to go. Look out because she is just about to loose all of her stars! She has promised that very special 1000 post for us :-).

This week will be full of coaches meetings and the referees are going to be hired – BB season is about to begin! Dee – she’s back!!!!

Sounds like he may have more time on Twisnibbins if a certain project changes direction. Good job making it through the first rough morning :-). Scott – is worried about having peaked too soon (again, the marathon – LOLOL). His times haven’t been where he wants them to be – Scott, listen to Sal – he is giving you some great advice! Don – had a fabulous weekend and kicked the BT habit for 4 days – although he couldn’t stay away completely ;-). Check out the great pic of his son running in the Turkey Trot – he came in 2nd place in his AG, has already set a goal for his next race and now has the coolest coach ever – his Dad!

TinkerBeth 23096 Liverpool, New York | Subject: RE: The Chronicles of Twisnibbins, aka Nibbins Notes Nibbins Notes 11/26/07 (part II): Heather – is headed home for Linner – her hubby is making spaghetti. She has some great ideas for Cat’s Holiday meals – Heather, you can plan menus for me any day! Cat – Loves Variety and has a huge menu planned. She’s not worried about too much food as she will send any leftovers home with her guests. I for one am going to send her my addresss, you think the food will still be good by the time it gets to Nebraska?? Judi – waiting to hear on her new job opportunity – keep sending positive thoughts her way! She has some peeps lined up for references Pam – provided excellent tips on how to cook a whole bird rather than just the breasts (out of context, that sounds kind of funny – lol). Uh oh, tomorrow Pam is headed to Walmart, which apparently has an amazing assortment of Little Debbies. Mila – informed us that she does indeed own a tiara and a scepter – pink in fact (so is anyone REALLY surprised? LOL) – she also provided some excellent enlightenment For the amusement of others, as you know, Maryland and Virginia border one another... is it any surprise that, according to their mottos, Virginia is for Lovers and Maryland is for Crabs? I think not. Jeni – stopped by for a quick hello – she’s been crazy busy with turkey day and writing a monster paper – 17 pages – that sounds like fun – NOT Dee – is once again faced with the devil LD (I think Debbie must be an honorary Nibbins of sorts – she sure does visit the thread often enough!) She also stumped us with a story problem detailing how to adjust goals for injury or illness - (oops, edited to complete the sentence) Sal – demonstrated is acumen for story problems – LOL. He had a family night tonight and helped his youngest with a scout project :-). Hector – is not a slacker (but we already knew this). In fact, he irons his own uniforms and can do so while hanging out and chatting in Twisnibbins! Kristen – is not a post hound! In her concise way communicated in one post messages that would have taken a few of us a minimum of 8 posts! (I’m not taking this one alone – lol)

Something about a Brass Monkey warning?????? (don’t worry, I actually did get it – lol) Kendra – missed 24 hours and 18 pages of posts – LOL. Her PF is acting up and she is going to give her foot a break until her race this weekend – fella’s she definitely needs some motivation!!!! Send her good thoughts! Dee – drive by post – something about avoiding the LD aisle at Walmart, needing to get work stuff done - and that she needs a life :p Tracy (owl_girl) – stopped by to say hello and got sucked in engaged in the conversation almost immediately!

Sal – gets paid to taste food, however, he didn’t say what kind of food?? He cleverly avoided the subject of his motivational pic for Kendra by ‘yawning’ oh, my was it getting late Sal??? Lol Scott - vacuumed his room and started packing for CIM on Sunday (do you think he’s excited???) He updated his iPOD with hammer music (not MC Hammer, let me be clear) Well, Hector looks like it's just you and me again We need to pick on someone new.....hmmmmm...(the wheels are turning)...... Hmmmm I thought I heard something - LOLOL Yeah it's noisy up there especially when it doesn't come up with something right away. LOl However kendra and spandex comes to mind (evil i know). LOL ohhhh, now that's good! hmmmmm - where to start! Don’t worry Kendra – that’s as far as it got! LOLOL

Tracy – (now officially an honorary Nibbins – where the heck was she all month???- lol) Reveals that she is a true multi-tasker BT addict, like the rest of us ;-) Proving her Twisnibbins worthiness even further, she was drinking wine while reading posts (I suspect she actually should have been packing????) Also, Tracy is getting married in San Diego! Sal – stopped by to say hi, he’s busy at work setting up a pilot of some sort – I think it includes food tasting – maybe he’ll fill in the details later :-). Pam – has a Chiro appt today, has to teach SPR/AED, and then is going for a swimmy, swim, swim after work – busy lady as always!!! Boo hooo – no swim for Pam, woo hoo, more money for Pam for the extra hrs worked! Hey Pam, are the kids out of their room yet? (my kids always got sent to their rooms for fighting as well!) Kristen – She has met 2/4 of her Nov goals – go Kristen (of course we care – you’re an honorary Nibbins and a fellow BT’r!). Now she has seminar papers to grade “which can be less pleasant than pulling out your eyeballs with a shrimp fork” (nice visual Kristen – ewwww!) She is also going to register for a half-Mary in March! Woo hoo Judi – no time to play :-(. Judi, come back! (btw – I have it on good authority that the smell of chlorine Kendra – is getting ready for vacation, sounds like she still needs to clean her desk off – (too much time in Twisnibbins???l) Kendra is no longer worried about her son having internet friends, but wonders what he would think about her ;-). Apparently she’s still trying to figure out the blackberry as well. Amy – returned on page 47 and hasn’t been here since page 21 – wow! She has some serious catching up to do! (that will teach her – lol). Her ankle is finally better Yaaay!!! The source of the injury remains a mystery though………Amy has two stars!!!! Dee – awwww Dee, I’m sure people at the gym and work want to talk to you – but we’re glad to be here for you! She can also relate to Hector, who recently lost all of his stars! (no, Dee we will never forget that! It was a priceless moment, waiting for those rosters to be posted – LOL) Scott – imparted words of wisdom about building social networks – ‘it just takes time’ . He has more ‘chops’ on the guitar than he ever thought he would! Hector – lost all his stars! ‘One star! Oh but I worked so hard to be stripped of my stars! I feel so naked and lonely with just one star. LOL. Hector is doing lunch in town, when he goes to buy plaques for awards Donto – Validated Little Debbie with a post from NB Chat – Turns out LD’s are not evil, in fact could be called a secret weapon for an Ironman. (was anything said about cheesecake??) Heather – has actually been working at work – EGADS – she needs some nibbins intervention pronto! Oh no, she has a sick little one at home – Hope he’s feeling better! Yaaay Heather, she finished her 24 miles!!!! WTG

Heather – pointed out a very important fact – we completely missed créme bruleé in our dessert discussion – it’s a travesty! She would love to live in Seward, Alsaka (sounds like she used to live there – hmmm, I think we need more details!) Hector – has completed 26 years in the Navy and will be retiring in 3 years and 7 months – he’s going to support himself by selling bait – let’s hope he doesn’t have to depend on fishing for his food source! Hector left us early to go get Scott – should never ever again post pics of his feet! He was called upon by the team captain to rectify the situation – he severely dampened the appetites of several of the female tri- hotties of Twisnibbins. He made a couple of attempts to right his wrongs – but, well, I’m not sure he has quite made it up to us yet! It has also been confirmed that he is not of this world – he has somehow managed to find 34 hours in a day! Pam – DS had karate tonight, he’s very close to his black belt – woo hoo (how did class go?) Other than kid stuff, she doesn’t get out much (like the rest of us do – lol) – she may need to replace her monitor after her reaction to Scott’s offer to loan Kendra a magnifying glass – (don’t ask) Judi – has an interesting approach to the nibbins thread ‘so I read about every third page to catch the gist of the insanity here and have about all the craziness one person can handle in a day. Come back to my last post to find about 10 more...’ Judi likes to be warm – even better if there is sunshine, good music and lots of fancy drinks with little umbrellas Yanti – summed it all up – ‘Yeah, cheesecake, gutter talk, big jugs, booze--how I've missed the Nibs today. Kendra – the nibs learned quite a bit about the ‘real’ Kendra tonight – something like ‘I must admit, mine are both fake’ (her Christmas trees of course!!!) – but………..you know, there is the whole spandex thing! Did I mention that she was peeking at Hector’s stars while he was out looking for wood wasn’t there? Kendra is headed out on her vacation - please remember to send her inspires and good wishes for her race on Sunday!! Cat – had dentist visit # 2. She ran off with Scott, no – wait, she was in a bag and then someone let her out – now everyone knows that she and Scott ran off together – ahhhh, all just a vicious rumor – the poor girl had to work while all this was going on! Oh, and she seems to be getting quite a bit of evil enjoyment over watching everyone squirm and wonder about their December challenge teams (is she turning into evil Cat – or is that who she was all along????) Dee – poor thing is feeling a little ‘gunky’ – send her some love! She also has been totally busted – three, count them three Twisnibbins lost their stars today – when asked the following question – ‘OMG - Dee did you take all my stars?’ Dee responded: Yep, I stole 'em. Oh wait. What color were they? Maybe I didn't steal 'em. OK, yeah. I did. Yep – case closed!

Kristen – woke up still trying to figure out the time zone thing this morning ;- ) Kristen has a very short attention span. Sharon – was up with the earlybirds. By the time she posted she had already walked the dog, done her physical therapy and was on her third cup of coffee – She is looking forward to being dumped on with snow. She has a race this weekend, so don’t forget to inspire her!!! Pam – hmmm, they cancel races in La La Land when it snows (one would think that in la la land, they could simply stop the snow – lol) Scott – hates snow (now there’s a surprise). He’s jacked to be running a marathon on Sunday – wait, I didn’t know Scott was running in a marathon – where have I been??? LOL Dee – drive by posting – must be busy at work again. Dee’s attention span is even shorter than Kristen’s Tracy – still moving, she’ll be done by Monday. Donto – did another core workout last night and a pilates DVD this morning – he’s planning on one more tonight – hmmmm, me thinks we need a pic, cuz his core must be looking Mighty Fine! Heather – is busy at her non-skiing ski meeting! Hector – gave up on catching up. He got a star back!!! Yanti – wants to watch Scott on Sunday (not exactly what was said – LOL) Cat – is up early on a Saturday – Teams, woman, we want teams!!!!
