  1. My best year of cycling fitness, I rode fixed gear for most of the summer. All my group rides through hilly Western PA. Up and down our Mt. Washington, pace lines on the flats, rolling hills, it didn’t matter. I’d do back to back centuries on the weekends routinely, fixed.
  2. Ummm… sure, Dottles. Sure. I just have to ask what else the kids convinced you was normal to do when you were growing up? Or maybe I don’t want to know.
  3. So is your sister sick of the anti-Vax propaganda, or sick of hearing about people being upset at the antivaxers?
  4. And even better news is that it isn’t because Mr. Smith died.
  5. “One of those counties”? Would that be the Ottoman Empire you are referring to???
  6. From the fence and gate, I wonder if the house has a dog. An encounter with a large dog while on those steps would make any visitor concerned.
  7. Our mail service is good. If my wife buys too many items and they won’t all fit in the mailbox, they’ll bring them to the garage door.
  8. Psst… hey Ralph! Otto Pilot isn’t the brother of Otto Correct, Otto isn’t the surname!
  9. Hips are faster than knees to heal, surprisingly. My FIL was home in a day or two, with home PT. His only post operative issue was pain-medicine related, which I see as a real downside of the rush to get people home from the hospital quickly. In a step down or rehab facility, you’d have more nursing care, and the ability to focus on what the surgeon may have glossed over.
  10. Password#1. It checks all the boxes. > 7 characters Uses upper and lower case Uses special symbol Highly unique and personal.
  11. What does this mean and how does it relate to the rest of your topic? But if I wanted an opinion of anti-vaxxers, I’d ask an ED or ICU nurse, not a physician working in vaccine clinics.
  12. I have a 4 year old 8+ that still has that brand new phone smell. No problems.
  13. I’d probably combine #1 and #3, with a week in Hawaii and then a week in the South Pacific. Fiji, Tahiti, Bora Bora, or even NZ or Australia. For Canada, I think I’d want to go the the James or Hudson Bay (in the middle of summer). I don’t know where, exactly, but I suspect the feeling of wilderness would be overwhelming.
  14. My friend’s older brother had that same type of stingray, green sparkle banana seat and all.
  15. The new “safety meeting smell” is different these days, anyway.
  16. You worked for Nerf for 20 years? A lot safer than the Jart job, I suppose.
  17. Olli Määttä is a Finnish professional ice hockey defenceman for the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League. He was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, 22nd overall, in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Määttä has also played for the Chicago Blackhawks.
  18. Jobs? I’ve worked for the same company since leaving school, 25 years ago. Obviously my role and responsibilities have changed over the years, but a lot of the same daily things. About 5 years ago I moved out of the main office to a peripheral one (politics related to how they wanted my branch to develop). About two years ago I added another facet to my daily responsibilities (while maintaining the old aspects) that’s been fairly energizing for me. Different skill sets at play. It’s been rewarding. Together with the move of offices, it’s like a new job, with a new boss (but way less administration overall) and a lot less of the old headaches. I’m glad I made the changes. For those who have made significant career changes, how long does the new job “smell” last? I still want to win the lottery and retire tomorrow, but I’m hoping this will be less than soul-crushing for another 5-10 years.
  19. Give? I think most hockey players are self-equipped. Only thing I was ever given by a team was the jersey. We bought our own socks.
  20. Yeah, she did. Have schools started recruiting her? Offering summer camp positions, or anything? Or too soon? My nephew is a HS sophomore playing baseball and starting to get the recruitment emails.
