Just more LAME ASS PC BULLSHIT. Thanks Fern for that tip for those easily offended people. An elegant solution that accomodates all. I'd write more, but I'm headed to the strip club for a drink. See ya there Greg.

INTJ You are a strong individualist who seeks out new angles or novel ways of looking at things...enjoy coming to new understandings...insightful and mentally quick...but this quickness is not always obvious to others since you keep a lot to yourself...you're logical and analytical and ingenious.. You are very determined and trust your vision of the possibilities, regardless of what other people think...you are VERY independent...you are quiet yet firm....You're a damn perfectionist!! Appear serious and reserved... might be labelled "brains" by others...you probably do/did well in school because you set internal goals for yourself.. being sociable just isn't worth your time and energy...unless there's a purpose for you...you don't like bureaucracy icky because you have to fit into other people's systems and not your own... You might be frugal unless the money is spent on something you value (like education or a Storm Palace subscription)...you learn best when you can design your own approach...you have a thirst for knowledge..you probably enjoy lectures, libraries, courses and so on... You are highly independent, and continue on with your plans even in the face of data that might suggest to others that it's no longer feasible... independent individualist....surprised when others don't see your visions the same clear way you do...a job well done doesn't need comment, it speaks for itself...you like decisive and intellectual people... Man! You're one hell of a relentless organizer! ....tough-minded... once you make your mind up to do something, nothing can stop you.... even your leisure is planned, regualar and disciplined....you tend to avoid fads...you tend to choose partners in your love life who have an outward zest....you keep your affections private, and don't always share 'em with your partner.. You can be intense in your love...generous with gifts if it fits into the ideal the way love should be...when scorned, you retreat into your own world and may share none of your hurt feelings with anyone...you look for the "right" way to end a relationship... Things to watch for: let go of impractical ideas....don't get so tied up in future thoughts that you ignore the present; you could be surprised... don't ignore the impact of your style on others..not everyone functions the way you do....you might criticize anyone who doesn't match up to how you think they should be...don't become obsessed with unimportant details... demanding...critical...

I am by no means a BushCo supporter but, two things: The Bin Laden family is HUGE. The Bin Laden construction firm is one of the largest in the region, and probably one of a very select few capable of a project on the scale of an airfield. Keep reading those essays. Find out who Bush smoked cigars with shortly after 9/11. Never mind, here: But this story goes deeper than just oil. It goes to the unusual close family relationship of the Bush family and the Saudi royal family including the Bin ladens. That's right; George W and the rest of the Bush family are very close personal friends of the Bin laden family. Just after the 9/11 attacks when all aircraft were ordered out of the skies, George W Bush allowed the Bin laden family to fly all over the country picking up other Bin ladens to whisk them out of the country. This administration blocked all efforts by the FBI to interview the family of the man responsible for murdering 3,000 of our citizens. Bush Sr. has close financial ties to the Bin Laden family and has for many decades. The Bin ladens invested heavily in the Carlyle group. George Sr. sits on the board of this supposed think tank. What the Carlyle group does is help the Republican Party consolidate power in the US by consolidating power worldwide. The ties between the Bush Family, Saudis and the Bin ladens extend to many other financial deals. And don't think the Taliban leaders were left out of the power party - they were invited to the Crawford Texas Ranch back in the 1980s after the Soviets were long gone. Why would the Bush family invite the Taliban to dinner? Oil - that's why. The Bush family had financial interests in building an oil and gas pipline from the Caspian sea to the Meditteranean sea via Afghanistan. They didn't care about the policies of the Taliban then and George Bush dosen't give a damn about thier policies now. It's all about power and oil. How about those beans Sean Hannity. Explain that one away Bill O'Reilly! When George W finally stopped cowering in some bunker on 9/11 and returned to Washington he had a visitor come to the White House to share in a stress-relieving cigar on the Truman balcony. That man was Prince Bandar of the Saudi family. The Prince and George W. are close friends - both in the oil business. Source: capitolblog.com, The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker.

Yah, a few of my girlfriends said the same thing.

I think you overestimate the value of the U.S. skilled worker in a global context. Where would they go? What special set of skills can US workers provide that another country can't get from their own citizens? India's "brain drain" wasn't a lament that they produced more highly skilled people than they could employ. It was/is that the highest skilled, most able, top shelf talent was leaving to pursue more lucrative opportunities elsewhere. Why settle for $10K a year in India when you could make five times as much AND live in a less crowded country with better health care, etc.

I went to high school in that town, no kidding. Kinda shows huh?

Been seeing quite a few lately. Seems like the majority opinion is that one shouldn't post e-bay listings. Might be time to address it. I've bought/sold/traded around $3000 worth of stuff over this site in the last 3 years. Never had a bad experience. My opinion is that if someone is going to post e-bay listings in the Yard Sale forum, the subject line should start with "E-bay" or something to indicate it as such. I don't think they should be eliminated, but personally the e-bay listings annoy the shit out of me. Opinions?

Mad Dog High school beverage of choice when we couldn't get beer was MD 20/20 Lighting Creek (the clear one) mixed half and half with Mountain Dew. Yummy. A couple of bottles of Boones Strawberry Hill would spread any cheerleader's legs. I prefer a nice merlot these days

Forget the marketing hype and Climbing / R&I reviews. I'd wager a fair sum of money that the "editor's choice" awards are in direct correlation with the company that spends the most advertising $$$ in their magazine. Go somewhere that either rents tools, or to an ice fest where you can demo some tools (Valdez is coming up soon). The size of your hands, what you plan on climbing, and how strong you are will all be a factor. The only way to get around all the hype is to go swing them side by side and see which is best FOR YOU. Don't believe the hype that you need the top shelf goods, especially when starting out. Dudes were climbing WI6 with 60cm wooden shafts twenty five years ago.

Usually when I move, I never submit a change of address. It's a good way to cut down the junk mail quotient. I contact the few companies I want mail from, such as my bank, broker, insurance, etc directly and give them the new address. Well, some wise ass at my last address decided to submit a change of address form on my behalf without my knowledge or authorization. So now I've started getting tons of junk again. Enough is enough I said. I got an idea from a website article I read recently. I've been opening every single piece of junk, taking the reply envelope ("postage will be paid by addressee") sticking random shit in there (usually the junk mail from another company)and mailing it back to them. You send me junk, I send you junk back and you pay for it both times. Several beer bottle caps, ashes, stems, seeds, and other random shit on my coffee table have also made it into envelopes. To the mass junk mailers and the database companies who supply mailing lists

Just got a few Positrons blems from Starved rock $8...price is nice.

Still too cold here for ice climbing, unless you need a 4 piece place setting. -15F this AM.

I can't find any Petzl keylock lockers like the ones I have/had. Who's making a screwgate keylock these days?
