Thanks muttersnapper.Please hang around here more. Between Veda and Linda kicking everybody's butt and Ivan and Amy sniping at each other, it's really been weird. The amazon woman and howdie have collapsed in a puddle of fear. Now everybody go have pizza and doughnuts and let's get the second 1/3 of this show on the road.

I think I saw the amazon lady pirched on a bird bath, geeeez, after all, asimmer dropped a plate on her.
The bf% is now at 25. Charlie...How you doing? I have missed the occasions to snipe at you, but did take a couple of your shots and ducked! -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada |

Just peachy Ivan. From 52% to 25% in 3 weeks???? Who's moderating the moderators?It wasn't a plate. I think simmer was throwin' a frisbee for the amazon woman to chase.-------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie | |

It ain't over til it's over.. if I remember correctly Princess is kicking some butt on the lift percentages, I think I'm gonna draft behind her for now then sneak up on the final lap.

i have to work on the 4th, so i won't be having your problem, david. and thankfully, sunday is one of my off days for lifting, so i don't have to worry about that either. so while the rest of the americans are off at their barbecues eating the best the U.S. has to offer in junk food, i'll be slaving away in the newsroom, not watching fireworks for yet another year. i'm not bitter though, really, they're paying me double. :big_smile:-------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right. |

I work for GM, and we have a two week shutdown.. I'm off from the 4th to the 18th. I have these visions of getting up every day and going to the gym at 8 instead of to work, and of getting in a couple 10-15 mile walks (prepping for a 60 mile walk in Aug) instead of only having an hour or two to squeeze in 4-6 miles.
Now if I can only make those visions a reality.... :angry: |

Deetee, Post your numbers. You are welcome to play the last 4 weeks.

I used to work for a semiconductor company in Roseville, and Sony in San Diego, I remember those dreaded paid-time off killers, aka, shutdowns. Those sucked. At least you can get a good workout while you are on vaca. I wasn't working out at the time I worked at those places, otherwise I would have probably done the same. Good luck!-------------- A broken clock is right twice a day |

Oh, and David_s81, grab some charcoal bags and lift them over your head 20 times, fill some bags with sand (if your at the beach, of course) and do some lifting, run around with icebags for five minutes as a warm up and cool down, you should be good to go! *wink* -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

and on top of all those other tremendous qualities, they melt in your mouth, not in your hand. i'm going to get emotional, i have to stop thinking about the peanut m&ms. soon i'll be yearning for the peanutbutter m&ms as well, and that only spells trouble...if you spell trouble "m&ms."-------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right. |
