ROFL! Me too!


Liz, it's awesome that you have cycling goals like that; they are great motivation, plus training for them puts you even farther ahead in the weight loss. I'm still trying to think of something like that for myself.

Wishes, I didn't know you are donating a kidney...you are something special.

She deserves a Rep Power of 50 million at the very least. It's the best story on here by far.

Or a visit to Oprah's couch...hmmm, that's got me thinkin'...

I totally agree.

I mean seriously.....

I was at first drawn to your diary because you are a linux nerd. Gotta love a fellow debianite. But I am beginning to see there is a whole lot more to this package than that.

First is the life alteing weight loss. For those who have never been computer nerds you have no idea how easy it is to folow the dark side to obese oblivion. 10+ years in the industry certainly didn't help my predicament....

Then the surgery (or surgeries). Wow, most people would run away and hide at the concept whereas you are preparing for them and keeping a sense of humor about it at the same time....

And a 90km bike race??? 90!?!?! Come on, thats something I thought only insanely fit people (or just insane) did. And even then...... wow! I can't imagine riding 90km if my life depended on it.....

What other miracles (or mayhem) have you got under your hat these days? I can hardly wait to find out. But in the meantime I think we should all band together and put your name in for some huge award somewhere or other. I suspect your life is going to be one of those ones where everybody is always saying "Wow! You did that?!?!?"

Godd luck on the bike race and everything else! My condolences to the aching backside to come!

sirant

Test time at last. Lots of luck with them.


Another race! Looking forward to the updates on that!!

THIS is Monumental!

Wishes, I'm so glad to hear the test process has begun! As for Oprah's Couch, there's been talk here before about a WLF Special on Oprah - we could have her fly us all in - it would be SO cool

Well, maybe not, but it is Oprah!!!

sirant

well if there is Wishes should be the first in line............cuz she is like the epitome of determination and charizma!!!!!!
I can only dream of being in a bike race someday!!!! Whishes you go kick ass for all of us man.........ok?!
later girl STAR

Hah and thats EXACTLY why i do them. Once the race is paid for theres no way out of it. Im to scared to NOT train for it lol!

If you're sucking up for organs im running out of kidneys there
A friend has dibs on my uterus though once im good again lol - she cant get pregnant because hers is a bit fubar :O

Awww you only liked me because you thought i used debian? :O Good thing i didnt tell you i switched to ubuntu
btw Debian 4.0 is out as of day before yesterday
Butts only get sore for the first couple weeks, its a muscle. Im so not gonna get a sore butt!

Wtf is this Oprahs Couch thing? I know Oprah, and shes pretty cool, but ive never heard of her couch being something special.
If theres a free trip in it count me in though!
Ive never been overseas and probably wont until the kids all leave home haha

Darn! My uterus was gone years ago...I was hoping...
Hey! What are you doing up past midnight? K, I'm going to bed. G'nite Wishes.

DITTO

you are something else! happing pedalling!

Ahh yet another person fooled!

Im in New Zealand, it was only 5pm when you posted
Its now nearly 8pm

Had a really yum nice nachos for dinner today. No meat, just veges in tomato slush. No beans. No cheese. But we had normal sour cream because they ran outta light. It tasted the same as normal nachos, you can barely taste the difference if its done properly. Vegetarian nachos have a crapload less calories too

All I gotta say is, you are one amazing person. My wife is a huge Oprah fan, and would beat me around the ears if I said anything bad about her, but you are head and shoulders above some of the people she's had on her program, especially those "Secret" people.

I remember writing an article for Oracle World about 5 years ago on installing Oracle 8 on a linux system. Now it's easy, but back then it was quite an experience.

As for computer nerdery, not too many people I know started with COBOL on a Radio Shack Model 2! That's what was available when I began in 1980. I'm on my 8th language now (J2EE) and getting tired of learning new languages.

I can't wait to hear about your bike race. That's just awesome.
