Heh. I have just turned on teh Olympics for the first time (having read the watch and post last night but was out during the opening ceremonies--meant to TiVo and forgot, am kinda sad. I always love, and the pictures are not the same, especially for the procession of the athletes!). And it's teh women's beach volleyball. Connie's comments are very timely, as my friend and I were just talking about the womens' outfits.

Oh, that has already started, has it - medical things with the cause being age. let me take to my chair and rest a spell.

Dude. I had part of a tooth break off out of the blue (I wasn't, like, chewing on toffee or anything) at one point, and went to the dentist, and he said "This happens as we get older". I was TWENTY SEVEN.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, please. My teeth were breaking out of the blue before I was 25. And it hasn't happened since.

surely all the athletes could just wear thongs for our enjoyment, right?

Well, just so we know what people in good shape SHOULD look like. Since as Americans, we may not be familiar with that look. IJS. :)

“Not dead yet!”

Is there a minimum age for the Olympics, or for any sports other than gymnastics and figure skating? I know that the minimum gymnastics age is 16, but I've heard a few 14- and 15-year-olds mentioned in other sports.

Hil, the age minimums are determined by each sport's individual federation. So, with skating, for example, they go by what the ISU dictates.

Okay, think about what you're saying y'all. Do you really want to see that guy from Guam in a thong? Or some of the female Bulgarian weightlifters?

Moderation in all things, people.

I was kidding. I tend to want more clothing on people most of the time.

Oh, msbelle, congrats on your free night!

And if I didn't say it before, wow, Allyson!

I kinda went back to sleep. Mostly lay in bed and listened to the radio.

I have not used IM either! Well, there was that once, but I was on someone else's computer and felt compelled to respond lest the querier think my friend was ignoring her!

My mom's eyesight is improving as she gets older. Considering she probably started needing glasses at birth, this is a pleasant surprise.

Yeah, I know. Of course, teasing back is its own punishment-- I'm now brainwormed with images of the guy from Guam in a thong. The downside of a very vivid imagination. *g*
