Bummer Pat. A nice girl with a pretty smile is something to behold. But since she's new in the area maybe in time...
If I know women like I think I know women () she'll probably be asking about you all around the office.

Well, if that's the case, I hope she talks w/the right people.. Actually, I prefer she didn't talk to anyone and just judged for herself

Speaking of chill-pills... I used to use this one on occasion:


Take two of these and
call me in the morning


Works equally well with this:




Something tells me I'd be garnishing some infraction points if I tried that here...

Maybe she just wants a little more time to get settled in and get to know the dynamics and personalities there. Then again, maybe she really IS seeing someone.

I'm impressed with your bravery, Pat!

I need to get better at just clicking on to the next thread and not feel compelled to comment.

Well, the 12 yr old Cannondale didn't work out. I had to make a decision that very day whether I wanted the bike, and I wasn't going to do that without being able to have my bike shop giive it a look-over.

I saw a nice, entry level Giant with an aluminum/carbon frame that we coild afford. Certainly not fancy, but considering the thousands of miles I logged on my steel tubed Panasonic in the 80's, this would be a Mercedes to me!!

Sounds like a very respectable bike, Carolina. Are you going to do the clipless pedals?

Not yet. It's been a while since I've been out in traffic, and I need to get used to riding first. Don't want to kill myself right away! Right now, I am researching doable routes in my area - ones where I will feel safe and have a bit of wiggle room. I can't believe some of the places I used to bike years ago. If my kids did that, I'd have a heart attack!

So I take it that this bike does not have a motor. Are you crazy?

Ah yes, the complexities of riding a bike. So many choices to make. Is the bike good enough, which routes are safe, how much does it weigh, does it have the best shifter, do I have the right clothes, shoes, is the seat anatomically compatible, or even worse...harmful , do I need a heart monitor, do I need to tie a sweatshirt around my waist, is my water bottle big enough, what tools will I need, how many miles do I need to go a day, do I need a odometer/computer, which sunglasses look the best w/my outfit, how much tire pressure do I need to run, which tires have the lowest rolling resistance, does this Italian stuff really look good on me or do I just look silly, what's the proper seat to pedal distance, which are the best biking books, which lighting is the best, do I have enough reflective tape, which are the best brake pads, how many gears will I need, where do I put my stuff... and I'm sure there's much I'm missing.

Alternatively, you can just ride and enjoy... My last bike was a Stingray, pretty cool (I thought). Found it in my alley, probably stolen. Looked for an owner but never found one. Lot's of fond memories riding it to school, lunchbox and books in my backpack. High-rise handlebars, what could be better than that? In the end, someone else stole if from me. Ironic...

Just be glad you didn't decide to try kayaking... I'm sure the list is longer, though probably less dangerous overall

You sound just like my doctor when I simply asked; "why do I have to urinate every ten minutes?" After his speach I was afraid to tell him about my chest pains!

I prefer to ride and enjoy (and avoid getting run over)! Did that Stingray have a "banana" seat on it and deep, high handlebars? And a cute flag on the back?

It's the new "big thing" around these parts. They deep fry the wings sprinkled with sea salt......or a combination of sea salt and cracked black pepper. There's no breading or coating of any kind. They are freakin' amazing!

Another breakup story on Andrew's thread.... guys, relationships are SO HARD!! Especially when you're in it for the long haul. I'm not even kidding when I say I can't figure out why men and women were designed the way we are - and expected to live together forever. Some cruel game invented by Mother Nature?

Love at $100 intervals ain't so bad. Nancy, I got to try those wings. I will keep a look out and let you know.

Nancy, I think that's why your jokes about relationships are so funny to both the men and the women here. They are spot on and we all know it! There's something to be said - a lot to be said - for laughing at our differences.

As a single person, I find myself ping-ponging between opinions regarding my position vs. partnership. Both have their aspects, positive and negative. Frankly, it's hard to find a lot of positive testimonials from those married it seems nowadays. Coming from the opposite side of the formula, I understand it's not all good but... alone has its problems too. In my quotes thread, one I can relate to is, "All that is not given, is lost...". I think that speaks to singledom pretty well. I spent years chasing things like career, possessions, learning, skills, etc. Without people around you (like family), all these things pretty much exist in a vacuum. They go nowhere. With nobody to share these things with, the value of these "achievements" are diminished. To provide is a great thing, but to provide for nobody but myself... not so important. I bored with it long ago. The best things in life are rooted in sharing. Alone, all things revolve around what I (or you) want. Once achieved, the reward is temporary at best. Doing things for others is far more rewarding.

Color me crazy but, despite the ups and downs, I think we are biologically wired for partnership. The "rewards" of living alone are largely manufactured and a poor substitute for the stuff that has existed since men and women first hooked up. A smile from the heart is priceless and worth way more than any bonus at work, etc. You just have to bank those and, when tough times happen, draw upon them to balance things out. Sorry for the novella, JHMO...
