A well-meaning? Spanish teacher.

Yeah, I'm Sicilian too but it didn't make me angry, it just hurt a bit.

It seemed very small-minded.

Even hubby thinks it's cute now that he's seen it.

You're always a comfort! Brother Joe is coming for Thanksgiving dinner and I told hubby please don't mention my tattoo because I don't think brother will like it.

I meant relatives who could take care of this person who disrespected you...

BBird is his name Vinny? I might know him.

Lbug...let it go...doesn't matter. If, your happy that's all that matters.

Bluebird I know what you meant.

Yepthatsme2 that sounds like quite a spill you took on that Harley! Did you get hurt badly?

I've never ridden on one but was asked to many times, was a chicken in "those" days. They are beautiful though aren't they? You know what is really weird? Yesterday when I got the mail there was a card from the Elyria Harley Davidson shop announcing a sale. Isn't that strange???

I learned to ride on a Harley. Sure glad my first experience wasn't like Yepthatsme2! Wow......that must have been a site for sore eyes.
Still riding bikes, but not the big ones. Have to have the dirt bikes for the Grandsons.
My daughters were riding bikes with me when around 3 years old. Now.......you protetive mothers out there.........I have to admit I was young and stupid to do it. But.....they learned to ride.......and when they got behind the wheel of a car with a stick, there was no "luching," no slipping the clutch, no stalling the car. I think it has to do with just the "feel" you get from riding a bike, even tho' the clutch is done by hand, and the acceleration done by hand. They are fun to ride if you are into that sort of thing. I guess the same thing goes with tatoos. Hope you really enjoy your ladybug!!!

Thanks Lynne, I love my Ladybug.

Speaking of clutches, my husband wants the next Corvette in a stick and wants to teach me. My 2002 is a torch red convertible and I insisted it be automatic.

The ladybug is the official "insect" of Ohio but I don't see any special license plates for it. I've just got my initials on mine.

I have a Dyna Wide Glider with a custom seat and ground pounder pipes. It screams! A friend had my book cover painted on the back fender. I think I'm gonna sell her though. My husband says I have too many toys. The garage is so crowded. My hot rod truck and the black bullet (car) along with my daughter's SUV leaves very little room for anything else. Plus, with my neck injury, I don't feel safe riding a Harley right now and may never again.

Ladybug...not one scratch.
My parents told me I was sheet bleached white when I walked through the door.
Remember my knees knocking together too.

Dianne, tell me more about your Harley. What color is she?

Those Dyna-Gliders are the smoother street-riding types but correct me if I'm wrong here because the Harley store here had many different types.

I'd find it hard to part with her but as long as you know she's going to a "good home" it's okay.

Mrs. Madness, and anyone else interested to get piercing and tattoo info., here is the website of the place I went to: www.medicinemantats.com.

There's a picture of Joel, the guy who did my "body art."

They are now in a newer and bigger shop renamed Goodfellas so the website is slightly outdated.
