You're right - exploitation will always exist.
Mans inhumanity to man...........................

I agree with everything you're saying. But, here's something else to think about. The companies in fact are LOWERING the prices. That's like unheard of. I mean, does anything ever really get cheaper? No, the greedy corporations and CEOs pocket the additional profits.

Well, TDL, I was specifically referring to the several times that certain boys here have tried to suggest inappropriate behavior on my part, seeing as how I'm a happily married woman. In that specific context, that's the FIRST time one of them put a j/k at the end for my personal benefit.

There again, what is inappropriate? It is such a broad term. What some deem inappropriate others refer to as innocent fun.

Well, it's only MY definition that matters since I seem to draw the line sooner than others. So, we go by MY standard . . .

We don't care about the Giro because JB and the Astana boys are not in it. Just waiting for the Tour of California. That is the only race that really matters anyhow.

I miss them all. Take comfort in knowing that you gave him the best life he could have.
If I were half as good as my dog I would be 10 times better than I am.
Thanks Jman. That was nice. You just made Ms. Frigo cry...again.

Carmichael and Pruitt will be next.

I'm paying $150 a month for Joe Nobody and all I needed to do was start a thread in the training forum asking for help...
