Yeah, its more opaque than the other kinds, but I think it has great flavor. Tis the color of mango anyway. Mmmmm mango. The most sumptuous, juicy, sensual enticing fruit. If there was any fruit that would be liken to erotic pleasure it must surely be mango.

Workin'. Trying to figure out why I've been in such a bad mood for the last 2 days. Trying to find a new bike frame I can afford that actually fits. Thinking I'll bump Thai Food Friday up a day.

Awww pup! Do you need some midol? ;) Maybe its just that time of the month ya know? I swear men have their cycles as well! Moods and possibly otherwise. :) Go eat spicy thai. That'll cheer you up!

Try this, 1 mango, 1 small pineapple, grated ginger root (a piece about the size of your thumb) 1 orange habanero pepper, juice of 1/2 lime. Dice pineapple, mango and pepper and mix it all together. Grate in the ginger and add lime juice. Eat with tortilla chips. We call it our Caribbean death salsa (we usually add 2 or more habaneros). In any case that will be the best fruit salsa you will ever eat.

Holy Sh*te that sounds divine! I'm going to make that, but I'll eat it with carrot sticks or something else! Maybe I'll toss in on a salad! :) YUM thanks!!!

Bah. Screw the Midol. Gimme some Valium. I can't tell if I'm pissed off because stupid **** keeps on happening or if stupid **** keeps on happening because I'm pissed off...

Yeah, if you're in a bad mood then things tend to piss you off more than they normally would. You need something to take your frustrations out on. Ping Pong? ;) Maybe you need a mental health day. Take the day off work, go home and be lazy or do something fun. :)

Don't know if you eat fish or not but this salsa over Mahi Mahi or Halibut is awesome. I have had it on triscuts also. I think carrots would throw it off a little on flavor. Let me know if you enjoyed it...

I'm waiting on my bike shorts to dry so I can put them in my lunch bag so I won't forget to take them to work so I can go riding when we get off in the morning. Whew! Out...of...breath....
My phone is turned off. I'm goin' to bed, dammit! Don't call me.

You need a mental health day! You also need to find a woman who has been recently screwed over by a man to do it for you so you have your good deed done for the day as well. :D
I'm dealing with a friend who has no filter between her typing fingers and brain. Sucks. I need a volunteer for a bike-by slapping.

Spicy hotness always helps. :) Sometimes it makes me giggle for no reason. :)
I have something in my eye. I know the natural response is to rinse it out but I'm wearing eye makeup. Oh, the choices!
Looking at a $400 balance in the checking account trying to figure out how to pay for $860 worth of repairs on one car and another $600 on another.
A good excuse to ride my bike more!

I'm sad. I just found out that a member from another forum I belong to has comitted suicide. Why do people do this? So, so, so sad and horribly tragic.
Ironically, I physically feel better than I have in a long time. I've been 100% raw for almost a week, had some kombucha today and just finished a fantastic salad. I feel like I'm walking on air, but my heart is dragging behind and its bleeding. :(

On the light note, I don't know about being 100% raw for a week, but I have certainly felt 65% raw for a few days after a 100 mile ride.
On the heavy note, that is horrible and sorry you have to deal with that. I don't know what drives some to the edge. I spent 15 years in nursing and I never understood how any trouble could drive a person to do that. :(
Rethorical question or are you seriously looking for answers. As someone who has looked as suicide from both the depressive state (irrational suicide) and a consideration as an alternative to terminal illness (rational suicide), I might be able to offer some insights.
PM me if you just want to talk, I listen very well. Our vet, suffering from Bi-Polar disorder euthanized himself last week. I listened to his recepionist shed some anger today for about an hour.

Simple, you just haven't walked in their shoes.
Im bored. Blah 2 more days of this heat to go. Then average temps:)
Heh, heh, heh... The temp dropped 15 degrees today, with humidity through the floor. Feels like I need a sweater!

I suppose I could understand the motivation behind wanting to off yourself if you are suffering terribly and there is no apparent hope for recovery. This man was healthy physically. Very nice, very sweet, very smart guy. Quite a beautiful person through, but apparently had some emotional demons. It's just hard to understand how someone can get to that point emotionally without seeing any other way. Why don't they ever understand what an impact it has on their loved ones is beyond me. :(

I dunno. Assuming depression is what influenced your friend's suicide... If you're to the point where you're about to make a permanent "solution" to what really amounts to a temporary problem then you're really not thinking very rationally. At least not rationally enough to figure how its going to effect your family and friends. You forget stuff like that. All you can see is the problem, and nothing else. No escape.
The question that really gets me is what was this person's perspective, what was going through his mind, that drove him so far as to forget his friends and family. Must have felt very lonely. I'm glad I never got that far.
My condolences for your loss, Shadiyah.

Those demons can be very powerful and seem insurmountable at the time. When you bottom like that nothing exists in the world except for your pain, a pain that is quite real and all consuming. Seldom are the afflicted even aware of alternate solutions. I won't pretend to know what was going on inside his mind, I only know from my experiences the only thing that saved me was an intervention from a very close friend who saw my downward spiral. Family, friends, lovers they didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was the pain. If he was bi-polar who knows what his trigger was that sent him down.

That's why it's called irrational suicide. :)

I suppose this is tunnel vision at its worst. Thanks for your words and thoughts everyone. I can't imagine what his family is going through.
Does anyone have any happy stories?
Yeah, "I saved a ton of money on my car insurance"... and I'm still alive :)

Simple solution to your car problems Stacey. Part out one car and use the money to fix the other car. Or start selling off your good organs. Better yet, sell off the bad ones and get better ones. Put 'em on ebay. People will buy anything there.
Shadiyah: my condolences for your loss. Don't try to understand what he went through, just try to help the survivors get through this tough period.
I'm watching tv and looking at my roadie. I took it for a ride earlier and enjoyed it more, probably cuz I was wearing my new SPD sandals and also taking it easy on the hills instead of hammering away. Just enjoying the ride and getting comfortable w/ it. Found out I have some severe toe overlap though so I'll have to keep the low speed maneuvers to a minimum. I need to get some shorter cranks. Hope campy makes 165 mm cranks.

Shadiyah,
Lots of hugs to you my friend. Nobody could ever feel or understand what went through somebody's mind at that very moment. A lot of people hold things inside and will never expose the hurting they have and because they are so trapped within that feeling, they fail to realize that there are those that truly care about them and love them very much. Suicide is such a permanent solution to a temporary problem. The problem usually being the feeling of helplessness and loss of hope.
((hugs)) :o

Happpy stories Shad? I'm going on my fourth date this Sunday.:D The more I get to know her..the more I like her. As her personality comes out, she becomes more attractive to me because of all the other stuff. Too soon to tell for sure, but I think this could be the begining of something good.
Also, my brother got a new Toyota Tundra...it's a sweet truck. Way to expensive for my tastes, but really nice. He is soooo excited. And he spent some time tonight telling me stories about my 2 year old nephew "growing up." The pride in his eyes and maturity he's gained over the last two years is evident. He's "grown up" in his own ways with his little boy and I can see a lot of joy in his face when he describes my nephew.:)
There...how'd I do Shadiyah?:) Hope that helped a little.:o Take Care.;)
