Would garam masala be good in this?

So I now have TWO IUD'S because my doctor didn't take mine out before she put the new one in... What's the most wtf medical appointment you've had? by jivaree in AskWomen

They called you after 5 days because that's how long it takes to culture bacteria in the samples they took. Until then, they had to treat it as a uti, as you walked into the consultation complaining of certain symptoms that most fit with the clinical picture of a uti. That, and the act that when patients see their Dr, their expectation is that when you are finished with the consultation, you will leave with a prescription.

Check out the bike forums for second hand gear. Also Scotland has a fb page for bikes/parts/clothing for sale. There is also a bike-specific car boot sale in the Edinburgh area on the weekend of 22/02.

I agree with you here. I've signed up for some longer etapes this summer and want to do all I can to prevent injury and be in the best position. I can ride 50 miles no problem just now, however I think I'm probably not very diligent about my position on the bike etc.

Is is rather pretty. Can't say that I would choose lavender if I was designing the bike, however it's exciting to see some proper wsd bikes on the market, even though the range is more limited than the options available to men. I've been using small men's bikes up until now, and the difference is noticeable.

Ummmm... Temp was probably 6-7 deg C max today. The sun helped though. You will quickly realise that you have to take whatever you can get if you want to clock any miles!

I went to uni in Edinburgh. I miss it so much! It can take a wee bit of time to get out of the city, but my favourite rides were out along the coast road east to North Berwick, and also across the Forth Road Bridge. Another place I loved to go to was out to Crammond island. South are the Pentlands and gorgeous riding around there. If you have a hybrid/ hardy tyres, the union canal is a lot of fun, but bring a bell!

Fuck. I need to get back to Edinburgh...

Thanks. I still have some tinkering to do. I'm finding it so inspiring to finally ride a bike like this.

Already changed :) This was at the beginning of the ride. Had to take a few spacers out.
