Morning everyone!

I don't think there's a no LOL rule in Nibbs. I'm sure we've used it before.



Yeah, Sal - what do you think this is, TAN???



Well, you can LOL in TAN, too. They just yell at you afterwards.

LOL is allowed in Nibbs, along with everything else. ROTFLMAF We like to laugh.



ROTFLMAO? Now I'm confused about what you're doing?

I plugged in a bunch of words that start with F, but none of them are family friendly.


I'm a librarian, I can't spell. Doesn't Off start with F? ROTFLMAO


Good thing you cleared that up BEFORE I got here. I was about to jump onto the "Final F" speculation team with all the other Nibbies.

My boss is back today. Ugh. I hate the first day he's back.

He also totally forgot that I'm taking the first part of my qualifying exams next week. Yeah....



Whoops. Minor problem, huh?

okay.. fly-by... not a lot of time to catch-up...

just had to share this with y'all...
had presentation this morning to buy some new stuff for our booth when we go to health fairs, the county fair, and other events we frequent at least once a month in our division...
Asked for money to buy a TV (19 in flat screen for slide shows), a Wii, and a new brochure.

Obviously the brochure got approved... surprisingly so did the TV and not one Wii, but they are thinking THREE!!! Still need to get the actual funds, but hey, we convinced admin... 

OKay, gonna try and go get wetsuit in one hour (my jacket is too big and is creating way too much drag in the water)

Artemis - 2008-06-03 9:14 AM Anyone know of a good facial moisturizer with sunscreen in it?  All of the ones I've tried are really greasy and I hate that.

I'm in the same boat. I know Roc makes a good nighttime moisturizer (with retinol), and they make several daytime ones--with SPF 30 or SPF 45 I believe. Or maybe it's 15 and 30. Anywho, Costco in our area has it and I'm thinking of trying it. Have you tried that one before? Do you know if it's greasy?

Nope.  So far I have tried:

Clinique Super City Block - ok, but really thick.  A lot like just wearing sunscreen.

Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion with SPF 30 - really greasy

Aveda Dual Nature Face Protection SPF 15 - greasy/shiny.  smells like sunscreen.  my skin is kind of irritated from it

Oh...and I'm thinking about trying one of these:

Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Moisture SPF 15

Oil of Olay Complete Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 - Sensitive Skin

People seem to think either are ok, but haven't gotten a sense of the greasy factor.

Oooh. I hated Clinique Super City Block. It was so thick I couldn't get it rubbed in.

I'll admit to being totally pathetic. I rarely moisturize and I use sport sunscreen on my face. Sorry I'm no help.

I use the Olay Complete SPF 30. I use the sensitive skin variation. It is not greasy or smelly and it doesn't make my face break out. And I am uber fair-skinned and sensitive. Now if I could just find a spray on sunscreen for the rest of my bod that doesn't make me break out.

I haven't even seen if this is possible yet, but I am seriously considering changing my entry to Aquabike for Sunday. My coach told me to race the swim and the bike as if I weren't running, then try to think happy thoughts while I get smoked on the run because I am doing an easy jog. So as I started mentally preparing for such a scenario, I thought why not just do the Aquabike so I can race the swim and the bike and not have to deal with the run? What do Nibbs think? Is this more taper madness?

Yeah, no kidding.  I'm using Banana Boat Ultra Defense, but I haven't tried the spray version.  That usually results in bad things.

That seems to make a lot of sense to me (switching to the Aquabike), unless he wants you to practice getting your legs under you during the race.

that's a tough call.  I know you have had issues with the ITB and running.  Your swim and bike are awesome...it would be tempting if it were available...

hmmmmm, tough question Pam

I guess it depends on what your goals are and what is important for you to feel good and successful

on the one hand - sounds like you feel like you'd be more competitive without the run portion of it, so if that's more important, then maybe switch

on the other hand - you've been training really hard to do the whole race - are you going to be disappointed if you don't do all 3 legs?

so in other words - at the end of the race, do you think your satisfaction will be higher if you finish the whole race or place higher in the finish

not much help am I?

good luck!  you know the nibbs will celebrate your success with you however it is defined!
