Life turned a 180 degree corner for me today. Be it karma, good flowing chi, or just damned luck...I will be going to nursing school after all!!! Yeah! I am so incredibly stoked I want to go do some cartwheels in the rain.

Hey Dan. You in town next week? We should have a pub club on Fri or Sat eve. There's a good pub out on McHenry we can go to. I'll have to ask my brother-in-law what the name is.

I skied for years and finally tried snowboarding because they looke dlike they were having more fun. Got injured and still went back to snowboarding because...they are having more fun! And the boots are more comfortable. IMO Snowboarding is just a more natural way to get down the slope.

Yep. Ahhh! Finally!

I dunno there E. I saw how much you enjoyed that tweaker flick.

Yeah, maybe it is weightlifting, but poor technique is poor technique and injuries suck. So Muffy initiate the movement with your mid back to support your shoulders. Use your shoulder muscles to complete the pull up, lower with control and hey throw in the abs for support of your back too. Mike - you trying to fill your patient roster?

So Seattle is only 3 hours away. Why wait until April?

Turtle...are you serious?

You were addicted to really bad tv huh? I think a few cc.com sprayers used to be addicted to work and now they've found some other way to spend their work hours. Why? They don't "really" have to interact with people and relate to them as fellow human beings.

Muffy - make sure you warm your shoulders up a bit before hitting the weights or doing pullups. Also think about initiating the pull up with the muscles in the mid-back. Don't just pull down hard with your arm/shoulder muscles. This is how I tweaked my rotator cuff. I'd hate to see you sit on the sidelines...

No there are worse endings. Most things that come out of hollywood have to tie up all the loose strings and let you rejoice in the fact that the guy gets the girl. Like Pirates of the Carribean for instance. Overall an entertaining Disney flick and great performance by Jonny Depp, but the ending nearly destroys the film. Those are worst endings ever.

So I couldn't fall asleep last night and watched David Letterman. One of the guests was a 9 year old actress named Dakota, she's in the new Cat in the Hat movie. She starts talking about life and how 12 and 13 are the important years for her to focus on right now. At 12 she can have a dog and at 13 get her ears pierced and get a cell phone. Dave pulls out a wrapped gift for her that will help tide her over until 12 comes around. She unwraps it and it is a stuffed snaffle. Not a stuffed animal version a real stuffed snaffle probably form central park. She thought it was cool and named it Chloe. She plans to buy it some clothes and a carrying case. I'm sure all the cool kids in Hollywood will be wanting one.

I liked it. Kinda slow at times, but I thought the effects during the storms were good. And I was pretty amazed that they could repair the damage to the ship at sea after battles (maybe that's just wishful hollywood thinking). That scene where the doc did surgery on himself was gruesome. And perhaps the most important part is that...Russell Crowe is a pretty fine male specimen to gaze at on a big screen for 2.5 hours.

Watch out though...after a couple days Sudafed causes insomnia. Best thing to do for a simple cold/flu is to drink lots of fluids, and some chicken soup, take some zinc (or Zicam), and get rest. Let the nose run, let your eyes puff up so you look like crap. Maybe the boss will take pity on you and send you home.

So what are you going to do after that first 10 minutes.

I was just thinking about that too. I came in for a late lunch, checked my computer for important email and cc.com spray, and saw three pages of new spray. Doesn't anybody have anything to do at work anymore???????????????????????????????? Don't you guys know that all the work gets done at meetings, so when people are at their desks they neew to wast a bit of time before the next meeting?

Also, the cost would be put on the rescued person even if they did not feel a helicopter rescue was necessary. Once a call is placed to the dept the wheels could be set in motion for a $1000 rescue bill and the person may have only had a sprained ankle. I recall a rescue situation last year on Glacier Peak, where a call was placed so that a rescue would NOT be initiated by the party's families when they didn't show up. Didn't matter. The call started the rescue. I think that 50 or more people were involved and a helicopter used.

True, true. But I can mentally justify the cost with more days of climbing. Preferably a few more days than one.

I hope you get good gas mileage.

you better move to somewhere that is warmer if you want to be neked everyday. I'd want to drive real fast on mountain roads and I agree with SEd I'd want to blow stuff up. Better learn how before everybody else takes off though. Would there still be the internet to learn from? Hey Necro, have you seen the trailer for the new natural disater movie? Something like the worst storm in 10,000 years buries the earth in flood and snow. I think there are only a few people left after it's over. Coming to a theatre near you next memorial day.

Ones with good friends and some climbing thrown in. Thankfully the majority of my climbing outings qualify.

They're a real group boyz. I met a few women in the Bay Area chicksrock group, but then decided to move up here. Thanks for the notice JuneBug. Hopefully a few of the women on this site can show. I have other commitments this week, so let me know when the next gig is please.

Yes, Sisu. I recognize that some people have it worse than me. There will always be someone whose situation is far worse than whatever I am dealing with. And I suppose that given your first hand knowledge of how bad it can be makes me seem like a petty, selfish person. Yep that's me. Just a terrible person for expressing disappointment for something I had planned for, worked for, and really needed, not turning out the way I wanted. Whatever. I genuinely hope life turns out for that kid. Sorry for troubling you with my sucky life.

Hi Jim. Check your pms.

So I've been waiting for some good news on school and just found out that I am an alternate. Onto plan B I guess...
