It is ok to have someone to pal around with though as long as they are not fangirls

Embarassing for this old lady who prefers to watch the match

and not the asses or the hair

Hey everyone else

Perhaps it's that I desire vehemently things I lack.

It's a challenger tournament. Good stuff to start with; not that rare to see good matches in lower profile tournaments, not to mention the sometimes disappointing finals in tournaments advertised to be the paragon, prestige, class...

As for the players' asses, stopped to admire them in my early teens. The tight-fitting shorts didn't help, fortunately I was brainwashed by teachers I admired (and my mum, who I didn't admire at that time

) to not always pay attention to one's appearance. Perhaps high quality teaching skills have been applied to a fast-learner... yeah, great thread title.

Today I watched a historic exho at the BALTC: In aid of an association which helps women suffering from Miastenia Gravis, Navratilova came to Argentina and played with Sabatini, and then they played together against Paola Suarez and Tarabini (Olympic gold medallists).
Heaps of Argentine ex-players turned up and there were a lot of emotional reunions between people who hadn´t seen each other in many years. Over 4000 people, many more than for the last DC tie.
Sabatini looked amazing. She´s 38 but she has a figure like Ana Inanovic!

Glad you enjoyed that exho, Vale.

Gabriela is far more attractive than Ivanovic, that easily said. Not only has she more beautiful face and figure, but also the shine of a well-integrated personality. Though what is most amazing about her is that she offers a helping hand to young aspiring Argentine players.

Hi everyone. Didn't have time to come here sooner. Yesterday, we had our usual Open Day at school. Not as many visitors as expected but the weather was great so it helped anyway. Now, Sunday being my only free day of this week, I only wanna relax. Hope you're all fine.

Reading on my thesis materials, found interesting how the loss of stormy speed calms waters in a Shallow-Water Towing Tank.

Cool engineering related stuff.

Still having some technical problems, should have them fixed eventually.

Peter Luczak and Cat have their second kid now.

Getta · 03-17-2009, 09:44 AM

Most baby girls look more like their fathers.

**Action Jackson** · 03-17-2009, 09:46 AM

So you going to post your baby pics then Getta?

Getta · 03-17-2009, 09:51 AM

I'm still thinking about it.

Choupi · 03-17-2009, 10:03 AM

Congrats to the happy parents

martine2 · 03-17-2009, 12:22 PM

Congrats indeed

Hope everyone is ok.
Sorry I can't be here more, but it simply isn't possible at the moment.
Still a lot of problems with my dog and I'm taking up holidays now and then to go for examinations with him. Hence a lot of job to do when I'm at work.
Worst thing is that they can't find what's wrong with him and he's getting worse every day

I've seen several vets already and they took ultrasounds, x-rays and did blood tests but no diagnosis yet.
Now they are checking Lyme disease and I hope to have the results tonight or tomorrow.
If it would be that then it's serious but then at least they can start a treatment and then maybe he still has a chance.

Choupi · 03-17-2009, 04:45 PM

Sorry to read that there's still some serious worrying with your dog Martine. Hope they can find what's wrong pretty soon

cobalt60 · 03-18-2009, 12:19 AM

Hope all are well here.

Sorry to hear your dog is still not well martine; here is hoping they figure it out and even if the lyme test is negative they should treat him anyway for it

Getta · 03-18-2009, 02:04 AM

Martine, hope you make it through this one way or another.

Finding myself in the position of having promised to do something today and not being able to do it, makes me feel guilty. Have to find the best way to calm them down safely, I guess.

**Action Jackson** · 03-18-2009, 03:58 AM

Horrible news about the dog, Marti, hope they can find a solution as soon as possible.

martine2 · 03-18-2009, 07:10 AM

Thanks all!

Yes Sue, the vet phoned me yesterday that the test result will take at least one more day, but that he wanted to start treatment right away because a negative test is no guarantee at all that he doesn't have it.

Joâo was very sceptic when I told him (he said "speculation again and this means they don't have a clue what's wrong") but when I told him about your post he got more convinced

He does show a lot of symptoms of Lyme disease:
- the spleen is a lot too large
- slight anomality in the kidney function
- exhaustion
- sweating & slavering
- infections to ears and eyes that keep coming back after treatment
- stomach problems
- problems with jumping

They will treat him with Amoxicilline 500mg for 1 month.
Only thing I regret is that I'm talking about Lyme disease possibility to the vets since January already (real risk since we live in the woods) but they said that it wasn't the right season for a tick infection...
