tire woes, failed business, no mags...

The preceeding posts are rather humorous, but mainly when it is not your money; spend $; get e-mails
if anything at all, I see why people are pissed off. The only recumbent bike shop here ordered 1
BikeE- got 4 (had no room or money for more than 1) so is now totally disgusted with bents and does
not want them around.

That damn recumbent magazine (NOT R.C.N.) that promises reviews in January and a new issue on the
presses has screwed up for the last time. Hello! Almost March!!! Not worth subscribing to.

New lightweight models! Bigger wheels! Etc., etc., etc... Bah.

I bought a brand new Schwalbie tire- within 1 month KABANG! All I could do is smile and mutter to
myself "no more Schwalbies".

Everytime I buy some bike that weighs less than the one I already had...suddenly Cheesecake and
Chocolate get added to my daily diet and then I go looking for an even lighter bike. Thursday I
begin my diet before my waist creates it's own gravitational pull and small planets begin to orbit
me. My wife came home from her job last week with 3 dozen muffins and 2 dozen Turnovers and 2 dozen
Eclairs and 3 dozen Peanutbutter cookies and NOT being one who feels good about throwing away
food...I just had the last of the noshes and the diet is about to happen. It has to start
Thursday cause my wife called to say she is returning with 2 dozen Pecan and Butter Tarts
tonite.....hmmm hope this isn't another plan of hers to cash in my Life Insurance policies.

Be strong, man! Eclairs would ruin me. Maybe your wife doesn't want you to run away. She knows you
won't waddle very fast, and she can catch you before you get very far ;-)

OMG! Do you have a Sam's Club membership? This sounds like the Attack of the Family Snack
Pack to me.

I THINK you were joking anyway but... If you're talking about 'BentRider, the loss of the January
issue was just due to the move and we DID have an issue up first week of February and another one
coming Monday or so. The handheld version is even up to date now. We don't have "presses" so I guess
you're not talking about me anyway.

Not sure here, but me thinks Chris was talking about some Magazine he subscribed to that has to do
with Tandems/Trikes and said Magazine has had a less than stellar track record for sending out
copies on schedule.

GOSH! Sorry about the similarity! Certainly not B.R.O.L. The comment is on subscribing to Recumbent
and Tandem Rider. I go through all the hooplah of asking this group and IHPVA where is my magazine
each season or promised edition (January) and I get seriously annoyed with paying for them.

B.R.O.L. is not a paid subscription for me, and for that reason is one of my favorites!

My idle curiosity makes me wonder why you are going through the hooplah of asking IHPVA and ARBR
where your magazines are instead of going directly to Recumbent and Tandem Rider with the question.
No need for you to respond to this, but if you will contact them directly you'll save time and most
likely lessen your annoyance.

 

This is too funny! It's like being on an elevator and smelling the tell-tale odor of a turd and
exclaiming, "P.U.! Who did it?" Only to look around and find everyones blushing....

Does people leave turds in elevators where you live? Remind me to give that place a miss. ;-)

I obviously have, if you had read previous posts- many times. To which Mr.Doyle answered me, on this
list, and probably the other 5 or so people asking here. Easier talking to a brick wall.

Well put. I have seen a disturbing restlessness in small objects near my path, perhaps this is an
explanation.

Can you say 'enabler'? Run, don't walk, to the nearest 12-step program, sign up your wife for the
co-dependent group and .. uh.. oh, never mind..

I can't get my wife to stop dragging that dang ice cream stuff home. Cookies, snacks, donuts,
junk food.

She says, "You should have more self-discipline".

I have answered, "I have enough to not buy the dang stuff and bring it home, but not enough to stare
at it for a week w/o eating it. Please PLEASE eat all you want, as often as you want, but do it away
from here"!

I am a pre-diabetic and do well enough on my own, it's all this 'help' I don't need. Wonder if all
that would change if I canceled my life insurance...
