get in line :p

You're loved more than you think - see the Merider1 Goes Down thread, for a start. Note references to family.

:roflmao:

Oh, but let me just say...in certain southern states, that's considered marrying late.

You know, when I wrote that I knew you'd be the one to answer it, in exactly the way you did.
You're getting a little too predictable.

nobody loves me.It took 8 1/2 hours for someone to respond to your post. When ME had an accident, she had close to 100 responses in the same timeframe. I think you're right; nobody loves you.

My turn to whine:

Why, oh why can't there be more 700c bikes out there I could standover without getting a wedgie!? :cry:

::: Wandering around aimlessly, hugging a pair of homeless Reynolds.... :::

Don't stand over it, get on it and ride it.
I'm sorry, I forgot. Resume whining.

I sure don't.

God, that is truly dreadful, Joel. Wow. Seventh Heaven in German? Makes my whole whining over a hurt shoulder seem downright childish.
I KNOW! I mean, Jessica Biel is hot and all, but in German?

Ahhh...you're sure wearing on me. I may even have to hug you when I meet you. Just make sure you are careful around my cane.

You know, sonny, we olllllllllldddddddddd women have canes. :D


:lol: :p

Now that's just mean. I'm injured, remember? It's a lot to ask that I come up with new material at present. :rolleyes::p

I loved Doghair. But Doghair is gone.

:(

Oh, please. Just ignore Grumpy, the hater. :rolleyes: I only got tons of responses because I'm a girl. Girls don't get fair shakes in the world until we're injured and helpless. So, consider yourself lucky!

he is dead! DEAD!

i'm not injured, but i'm pretty helpless.

Incorrect.

Incorrect.

Not true. Have you seen the man? He is very pretty in general. Helpless will likely give him more of a "come hither" look about him.

oh hush. if that were true, then i'd get the occassional one who does actually come hither. nope. not me. it's probably because i seem so helpless.

Yeah...you got to work on that, honey. You're just shy. ;)

yeah, i don't really know what to do about that. guess i'm screwed.

No, you're not. Just whine about it here and then go out in the real world and be confident. You certainly have the looks. ;)

You might not want to mention to gurls that you hang around an internet forum all day talking about bikes. Unless of course, she likes to do that, too.

yeah, i don't really know what to do about that. guess i'm screwed.

hang out with me more....i'll teach ya the gift of gab with women....i am not a deal closer (see ring finger on left hand) but i am too comfortable talking to women. Julie laughs at me all the time cause she swears i try to swoon every women i meet...and i don't...i just like em...hell i flirt with old ladies.

hell i flirt with old ladies.


Hey M.E....

Did Crash just call us old?

Let me know when you have your training sessions! ;) :lol:

Hey M.E....

Did Crash just call us old?

Why, I think he did. He'll see just how old I am when he needs to have my dentures surgically removed from his ass.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, except I was pulling out my walker.

Let me know when you have your training sessions! ;) :lol:

you see how well it works...just look at happy's response...


another satisfied customer!:D

in your dreams sista!

in your dreams sista!

Shouldn't you be addressing me as "yes, ma'am?"

Shouldn't you be addressing me as "yes, ma'am?"

please i think i am older than you.

please i think i am older than you.

Yes, sir, perhaps you are. :p

that's my whine for today...i wish i would have gotten into this whole biking thing more than a year ago....now i am too old to really do anything super great with it....woe is me.

:rolleyes: At least you aren't injured with someone drilling an ice pick in your shoulder at present!

:rolleyes: At least you aren't injured with someone drilling an ice pick in your shoulder at present!

yes and no...i have a torn labrum (cartilage in shoulder) and a tear in my rotator cuff on my left shoulder that i am waiting till the season ends to fix, it hurts like a tooth ache sometimes, even more so when climing out of the saddle.

and why would you just sit there and let someone drill into your shoulder with an ice pick...i say you deserve the pain if your just gonna sit there and take it.;)

whine

I'm hungry. Like, stomach growlingly so. Teh bf is not home to cook me food. Feed me!

/whine

I tried getting on the trainer again, but the pain did me in after 15 minutes. I'm thinking I may try it with my arm in a sling, but I'm worried about how that would effect my balance.

One word, John:

UNICYCLE.

do you have rollers or resistance trainers?....i rode for 2 months this spring with my arm in a sling on the Fluid 2 after my shoulder got reconstructed. shifting was hard but more than anything it was good for putting on a base.

not true. you've got plenty of time to improve and go far. will you win the tour? maybe not, but if you really enjoy the sport and keep challenging yourself, then you've got lots of time.

I'm using the Fluid 2. I think I should probably do more base mile type riding, I've been doing a Sprint/Power Builder workout.

One word, John:

UNICYCLE.

Can't balance currently.

John, I'm going to ride a recumbant stationary bike tonight. No pressure on the shoulder at all. Plus, I can start reading The Kite Runner.

You sound like my cat...well except for the bf not home to cook part... :D

The recumbent is going to be the last straw for me.

Your cat thinks of you as his/her BF too, you know.

The recumbent is going to be the last straw for me.

:rolleyes: Why? I'm going to get a great workout in (well, okay, I'm not 100% so I doubt I can really pound it out, but I will work up a sweat). It's better than nothing, John. See, while you are getting no workout and whining about it, I'm going to get a workout in.

I have other things to whine about. :p

I'm not going to ride a recumbent at the gym. I'll get more of a workout on the trainer over time them I'll ever get on one at the gym. Besides, I'm not looking for an arbitrary workout, if I was I'd go do weights.

Besides, this is the whining thread for everyone who wants to whine, right?

Better than being someone who trained real hard all his/her life with high ambitions and still never did anything great.

I'm just going to whine about the rain. It makes rides less enjoyable, and it makes my students very high strung.

Oh, now, gimpy, look who is in denial. You and I both know (really, we both DO know) that you cannot lift weights right now, John. A recumbant is a good source of cardio. You could also walk/lightly jog on a treadmill (although, all out running may be too jarring). A recumbant is better than nothing and not just some arbitrary workout. Sweating is good for you no matter how you do it.

Yes, you can whine all you want in here. :)

Yo, Dizzy, you do know that there are weights you can do with your legs, right? :p

Um...yo you Dizzle back - let me break this to you gently. Other than repeated squats (which I plan to start doing in a few days), there isn't crap you can do for your legs that isn't going to put pressure on your back and shoulders. The recumbant is the way to go.

There's quite a few leg exercises that can be done without doing squats. Again, I'm not looking for an arbitrary workout, what I'm doing has a specific purpose, and I'd rather do the treadmill or practically anything else than the recumbent at the gym.
