So parents shirk their costs off onto the rest of us. Bastards.

Sweet. Cheers to you! or, bottoms up Whatever works for you.

I would too Good times all!

that's only 16,750 a kid. So that brings us a new number for those parents with just one or two of the buggers.

No good? Well I guess you ought to train her better.

Were we separated at birth, Arch? A long lost sister? Seriously that is spot on both in the range of sizes and weights though I feel best around 126-8. We probably were. I'm that evil twin people are always asking you about. Thanks ZimZam! I really honestly think that posting stuff here and chatting with folks here helps. Getting advice and hearing stories from folks here is great! I never thought the "support group" thing was worth much, but I am changing my mind.

I was totally impressed. But those beans were even more impressive--I'm still thinking of them. When you are done with your gal, can I have her? What a goddess in the kitchen!!!

Well said. The only thing you forgot was the slam on me. Get with it.

That is so sad. It makes me feel bad for these people who are just trying to make an honest living.

Hey! That's a good pic of Greg!

That's what I like about you. Plus, you're blind.

I am laughing so hard and trying to hold it in that my cubeslaves next to me are looking. Pretty soon I am going to fart.

Politicians are politicians. The less power we have, the more they have. Dem or Repub--it don't matter.

You're not a true fossil until you admit that you watched the Green HORNET. Fuck, I am so old I can't even remember the name of the shows!

It's okay sweetie, you are still my favorite Old poster!!! And that is "slut" to you honey

I question whether it's cheaper; definitely not faster. I take 48 minutes on avg to bike a 30 min drive commute. But it is healthier and a good way to cut gasoline usage. In a way, you are still saving time b/c you don't have to spend as much time working out. I think you are coming out ahead no matter what

I remember when I was first told that people actually bought those outfits with all the ads on them (I always assumed they were like triathlon participation shirts for cycle races). I thought that was hilarious and so lame. Then I realized that hey, if it makes the wearer feel more in the mood to ride and enjoy themselves more--more power to em!! Who the hell am I to comment on their wardrobe. Whatever it takes, right? But the moment of truth came when a friend told me to try one of the chamois diaper thingys. What relief--I love that thing!

You are so right!!! As for redundancy on titles, I have this issue as well. For example, I am often referred to as bitch, slut, bastard, etc etc. I see the job description for most of these positions having considerable overlap... Yeah but doesn't it make your resume look that much more impressive? I can see the interview now: "What was the difference between the bitch and slut positions you held?" "Well, the slut position was when I was getting a lot of action and the bitch position was a reaction to a dry spell. Other duties performed as a bitch included: telling it like it is, chopping people down to size, calling bullshit, and general hater duties." That settles it. You are my favorite new poster.

The "Beat the Rock" tri goes on the bridge. It is so fun b/c it's closed to traffic so we get to ride in the actual lanes (just the HOV lanes, not the rest of the bridge). Two years ago, I watched an eagle flying by and thought "wow, this is the best thing ever" right in the middle of the race. Seattle rocks.

take one for team tick!!! woot! I see commuters on the 90 bridge every afternooon beating be across the bridge!!!

I completely agree with you on the $10/hr being an undervalued amount. And as someone else here said, the rest of us all have to do work around the house and all that as well. But the truck driver analogy is a great one! I remember that it used to be a very lucrative job before the regulations kicked in. Even now, they make ok money. I'd rather give birth though.

Due to my diet, I am eating snappeas for lunch. It is possible that one just got lodged in my nostril!

I started my "bike to errands" month. It could also be called "bike off my fat ass" month. Either way--the good thing about it is that it reminds me to be super extra careful to watch out for cyclists. Bike commuters RULE!
