LOL, and post a sign on your back reading 'no body cares about me and a ransom will not be paid'

Maugan,
I was hoping you were joking about the donut. The nurse in me was going to have to come snatch it from you.

Better a little high than too low during the tybee

Just kidding. BTW, Thank you for your service in New Orleans. My Neighbor, also RN, was there with a NW Medical Team, only to arrive and be in the second hurricane. A month later she was off to India on a scheduled trip with the team. This week she just got back from a month in Uganda. People like she, and you make this a better world, and give us all hope.

Ha, ha, ha you're the man Maugan !

You are soooooooo funny !

I can help myself, I never knew real humour before you came along. Great man ! love it !

Come give us some more gems, PLEAAAAAASE !



Thought that one up all by yourself ? Two V's instead of one W, that just masterly. I really mean that. Subtle but yet extremely funny. I bet you make your family wet themselfs all the time. You should give courses man.





Wonk wonk ! Got it, got it ?

LITTLE SUV ?

You are a bloody genius Maugan.





Suuuure !!!! Wink wink, heh heh !

You crack me up. Are you thinking about composing a little booklet with the better ones ! Would be a best seller overnight. You should, honestly, no I really mean it. I'm not being sarcastic, you are the next Pauly Shore. And you got the physique to match.

Got to sign off now, my jaws are hurting. Later !

Thanks,
I know your neighbor must have told you how surreal it all was. I actually went alone. I hopped a flight with a pilot I was dating at the time. He was taking some business men down to survey the damage to their investments. I just sort of jumped out at the airport and said 'can you use a nurse?' (I had called the Red Cross to see if I could practice with a South Carolina license before I went.)
I was there three weeks after the hurricane and it was as if it had happened yesterday. Other than the human suffering of course, the thing that was hardest for me was the callous attitude of the men I flew with. They thought I was foolish to dirty my hands caring for 'those people' who did not leave when they should have. I was furious with them. I felt ridiculed. I would have much rather traveled with other nurses.

So much for the dating that guy.

There is no way to know if moving to the third world would actually help. The true question was about willingness to move. The (cultural) capacity to accept radical changes in one's way of life is the key point. In the past US people were very fast adapting to changes, but people change.

Some people have no clue. You stepped up and helped those that couldn't help themselves.

As for the guy you were dating, you were lucky to find out what he was really like early on.

Tad, if it makes you feel any better, I am addicted to doughnuts. Even though I do not have diabetes (yet), I restrict myself to one or two doughnut attacks a year. Every time we drive by a Dunkin' Donuts or a Krispy Kreme place, I scream, "Stop, Stop," but Rick never listens to me, thank goodness.

Soon I am going to be driving north from Florida to Ohio by myself, so I am afraid that I might succumb to buying doughnuts wherever I find them along the way. So, what do you suggest, Dunkin' Donuts or Krispy Kreme?

My God, man. There are things you can joke about and be sarcastic with. But Donuts? I'm shaking my head. Nobody, but nobody, should ever make sarcastic remarks involving donuts! I mean, is nothing sacred anymore? What kind of times do we live in when people can mock the wholesome goodness of the donut? To people on this thread who have mentioned that war is or is not the answer to anything I can only say this - war is absolutely justified if our donuts are being threatened. So back off on the donuts!

By the way, I believe I would also love your little SUV, if only it had seat covers made of baby seal skins.

Jim Young is an Olympic-level coach, and he was guest expert at one of our race-training seminars.

On the first day of the seminar, the breakfast was laid out with eggs, sausage, potatoes and doughnuts/pastries, cereals, etc.

Everybody was going for the eggs and sausage, lots of protein. Jim told me that actually they should have eaten the doughnuts and pastries, potatoes and cereal, lots of carbs and sugar, to get them through their arduous day on the water.

I have been in love with Jim Young ever since .

(Disclaimer: That does not mean he would recommend a diet of doughnuts to Olympic-level sailors. It was just an isolated situation -- but we doughnut lovers latch onto any encouragement we can find.)

Complex carbs before, protein after.

mmmm . . . doughnuts . . .

I'm not taking any advice from a one-eyed frog. You must be some kind of health nut, which would explain your green skin color! Complex carbohydrates are fruits and vegetables.

I'm talking about simple carbohydrates and sugar, e.g., doughnuts!

There's probably a few of us that remember watching the original Saturday Night Live when it originally aired...

Remember the ad parody where John Belushi was training for the Olympics decathalon? The shots of him trying the various events were funny enough, but then he reveals his training secret - Little Chocolate Covered Doughnuts! Truly an Olympic moment...

Mary Mary Mary, why do you abuse a poor one-eyed creature? Is it because I asked how many pedestrians and bicyclists you’d snagged with your Wave hanging off the trailer?

The creature you deride as a one-eyed frog is, in fact, a long time employee of Monsters Inc. The next time you hear moaning coming from your closet or scratching noises from under the bed, you may be getting a visit from one of their dedicated staff. Of course, it could be Rick looking for his trapeze harness so he can go for a midnight sail.

As for the carbs, I do a lot of distance bicycling. Nutrition is an important part of riding as the glucose stores get used up fast. Good pre-ride, ride and post-ride carb and protein intake is important. Otherwise you’ll be hit with the dreaded bonk.

Complex carb up pre physical activity. That fuels up the tank. KKDs will work but they're empty carbs.

During the activity, take in enough carbs so the tank doesn’t run empty causing you to bonk. Electrolytes and sodium are also important. The easiest way to keep carbs, electrolytes and sodium levels up is drink a sports drink like Gatorade. I prefer Cytomax. Hydration is also important. That will be part of the sports drink. I’ve see racers pound down a can of Coke while riding. That provides carbs and caffeine to stimulate muscles.

Take in carbs and protein post activity. The protein will stave off the loss of muscle mass.

I was going to comment about Golbal Warming, but I'm resisting,


I'm responding well to treatment.......


But really, NO S--T! The earth is warming??

I guess I'll have to pay more attention.


Now where is that doc's phone number.
