cindi o'h Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Hello all. Thought it is time for an update on how miss Cindi is doing. I wasn't able to qualify for Winter Olympics 2006. Now that doesn't mean that I haven't been training hard, because I absolutely have been. My sport is, of course, The Luge. I awaken early and get down a hearty breakfast and while skipping perhaps a shower and even a teeth brushing, I make my way to the couch where I get in position. Lie flat, toes pointed, arms at side, head straight. Every now and then I rearrange things to one side or another, but mostly I am ready for speed. I didn't enter for this year's olympics, but I know that with the amount of training that I have been doing, I could absolutely become the world's greatest loooger at the next games! Actually, had a pet/ct today and a meeting with the doc at the end of the month for results. I have been feeling the best that I have in about two years this past week and I plan to get in at least one day of fishing this winter... looking like this week will be a good one to get up north. Maybe up to Lake of the Woods on the Mn./Canadian border for walleyes. I think I found a doc who is helping getting my pulm and heart meds straightened out and working together for the good of the luger. (me.) Any other lugers out there? Anyone I have to be aware of as far as competition is concerned? I am good! Just hoping there is no one better! Anyone else into the Olympics? Georg Hakel, bronze medalist in the luge from Germany was fun to watch with all of his twitchings going on and his home made sled. And then there was Minnesota's own Tony Benshoof from White Bear Lake, who came in a solid fourth by .002 seconds. With enough training, I know I can beat them both! Sound the horns!! TO THE COUCH!!! love, Cindi o'h Quote
Frank Lamb Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Sounds to me like you are a gold medalist in the making. Quote
dadstimeon Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Glad to hear that Cindi, you deserve it. Prayers for the best on your scans. You get my vote on a Gold Metal. Take Care. Rich-- Quote
daggiesmom Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Cindi, are there eating regulations regarding Luge experts? In my case, today, after finishing my Luging (?) I topped off my victory run with a big piece of strawberry shortcake - is that allowed? Joanie Quote
Connie22 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Cindi we were sure hoping Tony would pull it off, was also sad that Mason from Duluth (Snowboarder) didn't medal. Quote
MurielK Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 If you catch any extra walleye, please, please send them my way. Muriel Quote
Treebywater Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Go Cindi!!! Now my cousin's enjoy street-luging from time to time... but I don't recommend that. I mean on ice it's one thing... but 2 inches from asphalt.... quite another. Can't wait to see you in 2010! (Wow! Is that when the next winter olympics will be???) Quote
Carleen Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Hee Hee Hee Cindi I just love you! You always seem to instinctively know when I need a smile and never fail to deliver. I now have a mental picture of you couch looging in 2010. Now I don't know the proper equipment for getting the gold, but in my mind I'm picturing something in a brown plaid. Quote
jdjenkins Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Cindi, I was just watching the pairs skating on the Olympics. The American pair that just skated included a Lung Cancer Survivor. The woman, who could not be over 30 years old, had lung cancer in 1998 and underwent surgery and chemo and is cancer free. Her Father passed away from Lung Cancer in 1996. I thought of you, maybe you can make it to the winter games in 2010. I will be there to cheer you on for sure! Glad you are feeling well!! I hope you catch some fish this week. It is suppose to be pretty cold out this weekend so dress warm and have fun. Denise Quote
tnmynatt Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Cindi, I'm speechless! You are a hoot! Happy fishing and couch luging! 2010 here you come. Quote
Geri Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Well Cindi girl, you've started my week just right. Couch luging and feeling up to fishing.......what more could a girl ask for? Don't see you in brown plaid in 2010, maybe an electric blue spandex second skin! Keep on feeling good. Geri Quote
shineladysue Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Cindi, You're a trip!!! Keep up the positive attitude and never ever lose your sense of humor. Will be saying lots of prayers for good scan results. Love, Sue Quote
Don M Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Cindi: I am glad you are feeling so good. I hope your scans are all good. You seem to know when it is time to cheer everyone up. I am not much of a Winter Olympics fan, but my wife is. She especially likes the ice skating. Don M Quote
Nushka Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Cindi, oh Cindi. I haven't laughed much in a while and the picture of you on the couch with your toes pointed and arms at your side really got to me. Best of luck in 2010. I didn't know about the American Pair skater that had lung cancer. I missed her skate. What an example for the world. Nina Quote
melindasue37 Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Miss Cindi.....when you make it to the Olympics you'll have the biggest cheer circle rootin' ya on. We'll all have to color coordinate our outfits, of course. Guess I better start shopping for that brown plaid now. Always looking for a good reason to go shopping. So happy to hear you're feeling so good Cindi. Thanks for the chuckle this morning ya crazy girl. Quote
Tiny Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Love the attitude! Full speed ahead on the Luge Couches! Glad that things are going well for you. Maintain! Quote
blaze100 Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Hi Cindy, After all this chocolate, I'm not a luger but maybe a lugger. Your story tickled me pink. Love ya. Barb Quote
Fay A. Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 You, a Luger? I always had you pegged for the fine art of Curling..... Yes...I watch Olympic Curling. My brother and I were riveted for hours. So now you know what a Rocket Scientist and his baby sister do when one isn't well enough to get into any real trouble... Quote
mamasbabygirl Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Oh Cindi, I am so glad you are back-yeyyy! You have been so missed, but I couldn't have gotten better news than to hear that you are feeling so great! What do you fish for (what kind of fish)? Cindi's back, Cindi's back, lalalalalala woohoo Quote
bethluvswill13 Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Why keep training? sounds to me like your already a winner! I see a GOLD medal with your name on it coming...a 2007. Yea, that sounds correct. Quote
Maryanne Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Oh Cindi, your the first ever to win the gold for Lugeing Couch Potato... I am glad that the docs are straigtening our your meds. Miss you girl, I hope your puter is over being sick. Glad to hear you are at least thinking about Fly Fishing. Hope you go. Maryanne Quote
J.C. Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Cindi, That is where I find you, getting ready for the next Olympic, nothing gets in your way. We have to chose good colors for the suit, color is important as you will go so fast that all we will see is a blur or colors going for the gold. Hope for good results for your tests. Love Jackie Quote
kimmek Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Only you!!! You so crack me up sometimes. But it is SO GOOD to hear your spirit shouting through. You are a awesome inspiration to us all. Hope you catch the "big one" or is that not a big thing for walleyes like it is for bass here in Texas? Love ya Kim PS. I am very very very glad to hear you are feeling well and beleive it or not so is Mom, a complet new woman this last 3 weeks!! Must be in the air. Quote
