Southern California - So Cal needs a long thread "What's Up?" type thread!

Is that still SCE? In Rosemead? I went there a few times for DB2 issues, perhaps 15 years ago.

Rancho Cucamonga...

You should be faster, less blood=less weight.

You'll be fine tomorrow. In fact, if you hydrate and eat properly, you could ride today. Just don't do any heavy weight lifting for 24 hours as that can be problematic for some reason. You just reminded me that I have to make an appointment. The little vampires love me since I'm O+ and am not afraid of needles. Although I did throw up once on a UCLA sticker. But that was more a visceral reaction to having a needle "dig" (where they can't find a vein or it rolls around so they dig around for it and your body can't figure out any other way to tell you something is wrong - no nerve endings in and around the veins - so it makes you sweat, feel faint and get very nauseated. Really not pleasant, might I add).

it only took like 3 1/2 minutes...i could have sworn it took longer than that...the were a little freaked at my HR at first...bp keeps getting lower since last December...

This bike thing rocks.

Thanks for the heads up...so 40 mile hammerfest in east county tomorrow it is?

between that and shaving the legs and manscaping i should drop allot off my ride tomorrow huh?

you're such a weight weenie.

Last time I gave blood I passed out cold afterwards and couldn't drive myself home.

I drove everyone crazy.

I ride the same day. It affects people differently. My performance may not be 100% but I don't seem to suffer any dizziness or anything.

I have seen big muscular guys pass out. There is something more than just size. Just physiological differences.

oops, you are right,"often" is the word I should have used.

I'm a giver.

I've already told you guys why. It's a visceral reaction. The body just goes into crisis mode. Now, if we had nerve endings in the veins, it would hurt like hell the whole draw. So, really, it's a good thing that some folks just throw-up or pass out.

Took a couple of days for the lightheadedness to go away. My doctor/BFATT told me not to donate again. :(

It's a Small World = shutting down because overweight people grounded the boats

Happytime = slowly becoming an overweight person who can ground a boat

It's a world of laughter
- A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
- And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
- That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

*edit* i am a sick btard i know.
There is just one moon
- And one golden sun
And a smile means
- Friendship to every one
Though the mountains divide
- And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

It's a Small World = shutting down because overweight people grounded the boats

Does the so-called "Queen of the Fatbaggers" relinquish her crown? Say uncle!!!!

:p

I just came back from Target. It was a zoo in there.

(I won't bother to post my new hairdryers in the Shopping Thread. They're a tax write-off.)

Now, that is just not nice. :mad: I am fat, especially compared to the likes of you. Not only are you fatbagging but you're fat-teasing. Now, you've made me eat a twinkie. I hope you're happy.

Not only are you fatbagging but you're fat-teasing.

No fat-teasing.

Fat-testifying!

No problem Mary. I'm definitely doing your next SB ride. Good thing is despite doing nothing but these petty, poser junk mile rides that I'm famous for, I still kick butt. :D

I had chocolate chip cookies for lunch today.
