This kind of broad mark is called bald, from the word piebald, which doesn't mean hairless but rather dark and white. The American bald eagle is not called bald because it has no head feathers, but because it is black and white- piebald.

How's that for too much information?

Electrolytes = basically a mix of salts and sugars that you dissolve in water or take in gel form (which is really gross).

When you're running for awhile, especially in hot weather, you lose a lot of salts (electrolytes) as you sweat, and it gets to the point where you lose so much that even if you drink water is doesn't hydrate you - your body just can't absorb the water because you have lost all those salts. In geeky science terms, it changes the osmotic balance: the water doesn't get pulled in from less salty (the water itself in your large intestine) to more salty (your bloodstream, where your body can use it). You can get really really dehydrated that way, even though you're drinking water. So in order to stay hydrated in those conditions, you need to take electrolytes as well as water.

Again, too much information!

Today I bought groceries including chocolate and ice cream - I'm going to need a treat after I do 8 miles on Sunday, my longest distance yet!

I bought "Sampo". I will try to track down his image to explain.
The grand daughter seized upon him in our "secret" Toyshop that is full of spinning tops, wooden train sets and rag dolls and not a Barbie or electronic gadget in sight.

You know i actually thought it might have been bald.

this week i bought my ex-boyfriend a lovely pair of shoes for his birthday, a squash racket, 5 pairs of pants to dance/play squash/ go to gym in and a lovely red Hanan costume.

Shanazel · 07-31-2008, 02:19 PM

I saw the costume on the other forum. Gorgeous! No need to blush over the bald thing. Lots of people think the bald eagle is so called because his white head looks bald in contrast with his black feathers.

I bought two bales of woodshavings for stable bedding. Whee! What an exciting purchase compared to Mya's Hanan. I bet her heart is just sick with envy.

Mya, honey, my wood shavings are your wood shavings. If you ever visit Wyoming, I will put down an extra thick layer in your stall in the stable.
