I miss Ms.Greer too, as she was good in the Health thread.
When she departed to spend more time with home and I think her patient advocacy work, she seemed happy enough.
I'm glad alistair saw her in here a bit ago. I've missed any posts. 19231. RickNelson - 4/26/2006 3:06:56 PM Happy Birthday Adam Selene!
One of these days, I'm going to check into a recumbent bike. 19232. Adam Selene - 4/26/2006 3:40:09 PM Thanks for the good wishies. Rick, Wonkers, and the Captain and Tennile (that's showing my age a bit!). 19233. iiibbb - 4/26/2006 3:42:53 PM Message # 19224
I like recumbents. I have ridden a I favor the Lightning P38.
I have friends who rides many makes and models. For a long wheelbase I think I'd favor an easy-rider (perhaps easy-racer).
I have contemplated building the Groundhugger XR2 but worry if I have the skills to do it.
My only gripe about recumbents is they are just awful on hills... especially starting from a standstill.
What I love about 'bents is that they are actually relaxing to ride, and easy on the back, neck, shoulders, and butt. You're basically pedalling a lawn chair. The visibility issues freak some people out, but I don't have a major issue with it. 19234. alistairconnor - 4/26/2006 3:45:42 PM Hey iii!
Just for you : Emoticon theatre : An American Marriage 19235. iiibbb - 4/26/2006 3:52:54 PM Thanks for the 'good'? wishes Alistar... :/ 19236. iiibbb - 4/26/2006 3:58:46 PM I meant to say that I had a Vision recumbent (borrowed) for a while. Not sure if they still make those. It was ok, but a little unstable. 19237. alistairconnor - 4/26/2006 4:42:38 PM Black humour ii...
I wish you all the best. 19238. uzmakk - 4/26/2006 6:17:25 PM I intend to get back into biking this summer. That said, please pass the word that I would like to know whether there is a good time to meet both Pelle Nilsson and Arkymalarky in the Cafe for drinks,realtime. You can always contact me on "my thread". 19239. uzmakk - 4/26/2006 6:21:34 PM I know I should have the Mote Clock mastered,but I can say that I am available from 5AM to 9PM EST. An early start time will necessitate mimosas. 19240. uzmakk - 4/26/2006 6:32:30 PM I'm ready for a little fiction. 19241. uzmakk - 4/26/2006 6:37:59 PM P'rahps another tall tale. P'rhaps a real plan. P'rhaps some real action. Do you remember when I slaughtered all the Moties in the Cantina, Nilsson? If I recall correctly, your comment was, "Beautiful". 19242. PelleNilsson - 4/26/2006 7:27:41 PM Let us remember that day in Ulan-Bator, when after a heartening breakfast of camel yoghurt, dates and eagle eggs, you conquered twelve willing virgins and then distributed them among the chieftains, except the lovely Alisha whom you reserved for yourself. It might be argued that your ascendancy to Master of the Steppes started on that very day.
How do you recall it? 19243. uzmakk - 4/26/2006 7:59:30 PM I recall that the Cantina was actually an ashram wired to the internet. This because the slaughter took place on the Religion and Philosophy thread. 19244. uzmakk - 4/26/2006 8:04:42 PM I am busy Nilsson; when can we meet. The cantina will be mine, so you are sure to have a good time. 19245. arkymalarky - 4/27/2006 3:24:18 AM Hey Uz! I have Tues and Wed night classes for the next couple of weeks and other than that I try to get online for a few minutes when I get home and check in a few times between then and bed. If I'm stressed or have a headache you can catch me at 3am Central. Otherwise I'm no earlybird. I have the minimum amount of time it takes between getting up and leaving for work down to a fine art.
Whyn't you shoot me an email? amalarky@yahoo.com
I don't remember if I showed you the stuff I've/we've done wrt my rural "advocacy." It's grown significantly in size and scope, if not actual impact. 19246. arkymalarky - 4/27/2006 3:25:49 AM And if you two are going to go on about yaks and virgins, please let me know what time the meeting starts so I can show up after you get it out of your systems. ;-) 19247. arkymalarky - 4/27/2006 3:48:48 AM I thought MsGreer went to law school. 19248. arkymalarky - 4/27/2006 3:50:20 AM For an extra $1.99 a month I'm getting a web accelerator. I'm looking forward to seeing if it works.
