  1. Folks, that's why he's called The Uberator.
  2. Find the full test, including the test for Husbands, here
  3. Lotta good advice here, and it really sounds like you need a break Rudy. You'll be worth more to the company if you enjoy being there again when you return, and if they don't want you back, then maybe it's not really your dream job anyway. I've never heard anyone wish they'd worked more before they died, so if you can work it financially and your family is behind you, you should give it a shot. Maybe this will be the year you get into skiing.
  4. Oh really? Source on this? Know anyone that it's happened to? Credible news reports? Folks I know working in parts of that system have far more serious abuses to deal with than kids swatted on the butt. "CPS took my kid because I spanked him in the grocery store" is one of those things that smack of urban myth and cover story, like Reagan's much vaunted Welfare Queen with a stable of Cadillacs, which was also a total fabrication.

    I think Kevin has a golden retriever in the woodpile, it makes him amiable and enthusiastic. Uhh, I mean that in a good way.
  6. Are you drinking With me Jesus, I can see you very clear I know you can walk on the water But can you walk on this much beer? The Beat Farmers did such a splendid version of this song. 2lPsJqebXT0
  7. It takes a lot of colors to make a rainbow, but I'm just not wired that way. The goal with children is that they learn self-discipline. I've done alright without spanking for 25 years of parenthood, but maybe I'm just lucky. My kids have definitely learned to advocate for their position: I don't tend to be autocratic and I'm open to debate, so they opt for reason rather than blind obedience. That's what happens when you raise your children to think their opinion matters.
  8. Why are the Republicans like a bunch of 40 foot penises? Sometimes it seems like there's just no end to those pricks.
  9. Okay, it's officially time for the Son of the Return of Olympia Climbing Wednesdays at the quarry in Tenino. Every Wednesday from 4:30 on, PM me for directions if you haven't been before. Fine appurtenances Black Elvis 11a Here's an old photo of the far right end showing a few of the 35 routes out here. Some of the info is obsolete: Hercules and Calvin & Hobbes are 10b, Shaking Hands With The Governor has a direct finish that's harder than 10b if you're under 5' 10", and all routes in this shot are now bolted for the lead.
  10. Uh, not in my country please.
  11. No third term.
  12. Was that the route it came from? Eeesh, I could go my whole life without getting that bug you had.
  13. Yes Dawg, that's a pretty crude and distasteful troll attempt. While it's guaranteed to get a rise from you, it's pretty damned icky.
  14. If Hillary were my VP I'd be sure to employ a food taster.

    Dang, I'm gonna nominate you for the next opening on the Board of Directors.
  16. Dairy cow meat is not tainted by the udder contents. Good track though, rack of lamb maybe, got one of those in the freezer. Fern, does Bermuda include any of that beach bouldering or seaside limestone they have down in that neck of the woods? That's a trip worth sanding drywall for.

    Dru might remember, from back in the day when he used to care about that stuff...
  18. Pfft, chop my bolts, you'll get prosecuted for trespassing and vandalism.

Hmmmm, not much I guess Fri Night: >Hot date with my wife: Little Shop of Horrors at Tumwater High School Saturday: >Sharpen blades on the tractor mower, field maintenance >Go march up and down the hills on my property for alpine approach training >Drag my daughter over to climb on the cliff >Maybe do some prep for WA Employment Security audit >Maybe play in the darkroom >Hot date with my wife: Ballard Art Walk and visit with friends Sunday: >Prod daughter in the morning so she can provide mother's day breakfast in bed >Go out walking somewhere for mother's day, slowshoeing up at Rainier? out to the coast to poke around on the beach? Exploring in the Bald Hills? My job is driving, not choosing. >Make something yummy for dinner that somehow works around wife's recently diagnosed food allergies: no dairy, gluten, soy, or eggs. Anyone got any recipe suggestions?
  20. Need a more unique gift than a set of onesies, cloth diapers, or a thimerosol free home immunization kit for that new bundle of joy? This is just the thing: Yes, that's Grind, the Roadkill Rabbit, an adorable plush toy, sure to be olved for years and enshrine you as that favorite relative or calling uncle. If you'd prefer, there's also Twitch the Raccoon, lotta those in my neighborhood this season
  21. I'm proud to have a new national slogan: The United States of America - better than Myanmar!
  22. those guys are just lucky they weren't packing any toy guns

    Just Saturday afternoon for a burst of cragging at a damp friendly cliff, Sunday I was off to wallow in the snow in MRNP.
  25. As I tip, I can assure you that everyone loves some pictures. Sounds like a great time, thanks for the story and welcome to the state. The Cascades are pretty damned swell, but don't be surprised when they turn surly on you.
