Bike Leans - Humpty Dumpty

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (45460) • Denver, Colorado 12 Aug

You know how when people are reminiscing about the past, they often call it something like “using the Wayback Machine” or something like that. I’m not doing that. I am, however, visiting my past with a bike lean from around 2012...

George asked me to pull up a pre-recorded truck race from earlier in the season. It's Tuesday... but I can't bring myself to say 'no'. A lot has changed since his stroke and I've become more tolorant and patient. Two things I'd...

Does ANYbody approve of this?

Amber @AmbiePam (124772) • United States 11 Aug

Bike Leans - Memorial Plaza

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (45460) • Denver, Colorado 9 Aug

Whoo. I went and saw four bands earlier tonight (last night, now.) I walked to and from the show (about 3.5 miles,) so I’m pretty sore. Yet I cannot sleep, so I’m sitting here listening to Steely Dan records. What does that have...

Amber @AmbiePam (124772) • United States 9 Aug

So the pain relievers have worn off, and the infernal pain in the mouth and gums is back. Fortunately, my best friend, a nurse who is first and foremost and a fan of natural medicine recommended clove oil and vanilla. I ordered...

April I used to use garlic for my teeth pain. Mainly because the smell of cloves used to make me sick. Or tea bags. Something about it draws out the infection .

Do you think CPR should be taught in school?

Amber @AmbiePam (124772) • United States 9 Aug

At my school, every year with 3rd grade and up, a group of firefighters would come to our school and teach a class on how to perform CPR. It just took up one day a year, and they would certify you in CPR after you passed the...

I don’t watch superhero movies, do you?

Amber @AmbiePam (124772) • United States 2 Aug

The last superhero movie I watched was the Batman that starred the late Val Kilmer. That was in the late 1990s. I just never got into superhero movies. I really thought I’d watch Wonder Woman since I loved Lynda Carter (who played...

April I have never really cared one way or another. I watched Batman up until Christian Bale and lost interest. I've seen. I think all of the Avengers movies except for the last one. I really liked The Iron Man movies, but that's mostly because of Robert Downy Jr. I...

Two Appointments in One Day

Amber @AmbiePam (124772) • United States 3 Aug

I know, what’s the big deal? Tomorrow I have an appointment with my primary care doctor, and then in the afternoon I have a dentist appointment. I never schedule two appointments in one day if I can help it because my back can’t...

April I sometimes think about time before I had the body of a 90 year old and get kind of bitter. So I try not to dwell on it. I hate when they schedule more than one appointment in one day. I have one tomorrow, one thursday and one friday. I HATE that too.

Exotic Animals as Domestic Pets

Amber @AmbiePam (124772) • United States 3 Aug

Do you think it should be legal to have exotic pets at your home? I don’t mean wildlife organizations that jump through hoops to get permits. I mean like the case in my city with a resident whose cayman got out and is currently...

April After watching Tiger King and Chimp Crazy, I think there should be an extensive vetting process for people to have exotic pets in their homes. Remember when that chimp attacked its owners friend and basically tore its face off.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (86050) • Daytona Beach, Florida 1 Aug

We've had off and on storms all morning. We don't really have sun, and I'm sure I spent the past hour just lying in bed because I had no energy. I almost didn't bother opening the bedroom window, but did it anyway. I feel okay now...

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (138855) • Marion, Ohio 2 Aug
