PNW people are extremely sensitive and touchy, but very polite in person. They are highly passive aggressive, and have a hard time expressing opinions not followed by the herd. But unlike other people who follow the opinion of their peers, PNW'ers don't have the balls to back up their opinions if confronted by someone who challenges them.
Like people from Colorado, PNW think they are intellectually better and also more progessive than the rest of the world. Which makes PNW'er the smuggest people on earth.
So to sum it up:
PNW'ers are smug and spineless. If we were a country, we'd be France.
East Coasters are smug with balls. They would be Germany
Midwesterners and Southerns are down to earth with balls- They would be, well...the United States
Who's not smug (down to earth) without balls? i.e. Mexicans
I think you have the REAL PNWers confused with all the people who have moved here over the past 30 years. the people from here 2nd or 3rd generation shoot straight. but most the people i know who are from here are red necks.

easier than moderate but totally fun was the pioneer route on monkey face. the exposure was great and the intro do jugging lines and a huge free rap made it thrilling beyond all measure.
single pitch my fave has to be cruel sister. I still have not climbed that clean but it's awsome. i have the scars to prove it.
goal for the far future is Kunza Corner. maybe some day and if not i will keep walking by and thinking it lovely.

I've had several people complain that Northwest people can be shallow and polite in person, keeping their true feelings and more controversial opinions to themselves.
The same people suggest that East Coasters, where I'm from, are more likely to tell you when they disagree with you and let it all hang out.
Perhaps CC works for y'all because you can vent your more volatile and odiferous parts here.
Do you think CC would have the same vibe in other places?
Oh, and don't hold your true feelings back because you're probably posting anonymously anyway...
I can assure you iam just as much a cocky bitch in person as I am on line. i yam what i yam
can be damaging to the career though. I have been told that i would be able to move ahead if i lived in a larger city or in the north east. but i just dont fit in here.

how can you not like to EAT??? man...food frickin' ROCKS!
it is not that i dont like to eat. I LOVE TO EAT. too much. it is a drug for me as much as booz is for others. but i can't just walk away from food. when people use AA to quit drinking they learn to avoid temptation. I can't avoid so i have to learn some other way to moderate my food intake. My momma was bulimic and dieted constently and my dad didn't really eat. i learned bad bad food habits. I am at 152lbs right now. at 5'5" that is more than i want to weigh. I miss being able to work out all the time and i miss my muscles.

Whoops...I forgot to mention the free raffle for the 60m rope, draws, bd schwag, etc...
See everyone there.
mws
YAY
i totaly need some schwag

Coming from suckbm, I'd have to think it was in jest.
I've only met him once, but I think he's kidding.
I am heading back in to therapy myself(this very evening). not for bulimia but i have struggled with eating disorders in the past. with all of the upheaval in my life due to other health issues, the food thing has become an issue again. i think for some people food is the drug of choice. if i could just not eat and not die, i think i would be okay.

The only thing hotter that yuppie ballcapedness is a short mid drift shirt with a stretch marked preggo belly hanging out.
Hotcha!
i just threw up a little in my mouth. you are mean

Muffy is the only woman I want to see in a cap, or anything else for that matter.
why i do believe i have an admirer

Is it considered bulimia if you throw up the junk food you eat and keep down the healthy stuff in order to lose weight for rock climbing?
I hope this questiong was in jest. If you have to ask for reals, your thought processes are already messed up enough you may want to consider seeking therapy. eating disorders are no joke.
-
ok folks...back to climbing please...it is the only real pursuit...carry on...
I know *snif* thats why my life is over at 35. it doesn't look like i will ever be able to climb again. (yes i am whining)
-
or 
i know its not a new thing but i keep seeing the local yuppy housewife population of my town wearing baseball caps. I think it looks ridiculous especially when they're wearing over priced jogging suits and their hair isn't pulled back.
maybe they were just at the gym?

thats just stupid, muff
i always found that the soccer parents were really supportive. my son loved that for several years and still has no interest in baseball.
Thing 1 played soccer in kinder 1st and 2nd grade. it wasn't as bad, but he was a totaly a daisy picker and parents and the coach mentioned on several occasions that maybe he shouldn't play. I think it may be the area we live in.
-
Muff, that's a crying shame what those parents made their kid do. I'd have probably killed someone, too. How has youth sports gone from what it was 30-40 years ago to what it is today? It's all about winning and "looking good" these days. Is this a reflection of what we see in "professional" sports? Players gotta take HGH so that they can hit more homers, sack more quarterbacks, drain more 3-pointers, etc.?
Sure, we hated to lose when we were kids, and we loved it when our team won. But on or off the field, it was still all about having some fun with your buds, even if they were on the opposing team.
so true. one of the things that we learned, by not being the best and not ONLY having the best players on our teams was that it is okay to fail sometimes, and that you will servivie not being the BEST and perfect at everything. that you can have fun and not be great at something and that there is room for everyone on a team. no one loves to lose. but i would rather lose and play fair and be inclusive than win and be a dick.

So what, in this asshole's mind, constitutes "not good enough" for a kid playing ball? I thought it was about having some fun and batting/catching/throwing a ball around. This clownpuncher apparently is one of those "win at all costs" coaches, eh?
WTF, does he have to increase his winning percentage so he get picked up by the NY Yankees as their new head coach?
The minute my son's coaches take this attitude, we're outta there. I don't see that happening, because all of the practices and games that I've been to already (like 4 or 5 now), the coaches just let them have fun and run around and hit and throw. They all seem to laugh and have fun, and there's no big emphasis on being "good enough" to play.
you are so lucky!!!
our season started bad last year when Thing 2 had to Try Out to play ball and then while trying out he was playing catch with a kid who's parent called him over and told the kid to go outside and come back in so he could get somone else to play catch with cus my kid was making him look bad.
it is a good thing i was not there.
I thought my kid played great. he started to understand the game, he was motivated, followed the coaches instructions, hustled all season and even hit a few balls. I was really proud of him. I could have killed that coach. now Thing 2 has NO interest in playing sports at all and he is actualy fairly athletic.
-
holy crap... we're still in winter and the season has started already. First practices were this past weekend.
Anyone else got kids starting baseball?
we did base ball with Thing 2 last season. I hated it. I have never spent so much time so angry and frustrated with adults that i don't know in my whole life. the parents were creeps and the coach said that we need not apply this year becuase my kid wasn't good enough to play Babe Ruth baseball. and if he wanted to continue he might want to consider a lesser leauge...
that was the end of our involvement in organized sports
-
It's on the calendar. I am so there and bringing Thing 1 and Thing 2. I will be there early to claim a chair...
xoxoxoxo

p.s. I think i have the right day this time so i don't miss it!!

Muffy, have you looked at what SSI pays? My answer to your question (the same I answered to K3) is no, I do not expect to rely on SSI. I save more than 20% of my income every year in preparation for retirement and have done so for a long time. I have no plans to ensure my care to the hands of strangers with a system that may not be there when I am old. I was raised to believe that I must take care of myself. I have done so since I was 16 and I plan on doing everything in my power to be able to continue to do so until I am 116.
I assure you that I pay significantly more taxes than you do. But that is beside the point. Why would it seem like I am "pretending" that I pay for your kids, but you feel justified in saying that they will support me when I am old? Can you see the problem there?Ah, so we can pay to educate your kids, but you won't kick in to keep other people's kids healthy enough to go to school?Funny, I paid taxes which educated "other people's" kids before I had kids in school, and will be paying for "other people's" kids in just a few years. Ditto for medical care of others. And I'm sure I've kicked in more than my fair share over the years, since I've always paid income and payroll deduction taxes.
And I'm coughing up at least $1000 a month for insurance, but hey, keep pretending that YOU pay for MY kids.
wont it be the children of today who pay your social security, medicare and medicade? we are certinly paying for our parents generation now. the problem being, their generation out numbers ours drasticly. because they had fewer children it will be a significant strain on the economy when all the boomers hit retirement.
my parents have done well for themselves and have retired. they will still need to use medicade and medicare despite the fact that they are both vets. becuase the cost of medical insurance is astronomical.
i hear what you are saying and i am working hard to follow in your footsteps. I am saving now as i don't believe SSI will even exist when we retire. however, i firmly beleive that we have an obligation as members of this society to pay taxes to fund our government. Part of that money goes to public education at this time. If you don't think that is a good idea I would hope that you run for office and work at making that change.
out of curiosity, did you go to public school?

How would your peers in the teacher's union feel about paying math/chem/physics teachers more than the folks teaching humanities or PE?
i'm in a teacher's union and it isn't anathema to me to see higher pay for jobs that are actually harder to fill - that seems like straight market economics to me - if you wanna reduce my pay so you can pay a math teacher more though that will be pissing me off, as well as insinuating that what i teach (social studies) is less valuable that math/science in the grand scheme of things.
Seems like that's what would have to happen eventually if supply and demand ever factored into teacher salaries. Maybe not straight off the bat, but when you are taking the funds out of the same pot - eventually someone with a BA in English is going to top out at a lower comp level, or get a smaller merit increase - and that money will be landing in the hands of the folks with the more valuable (in the strict economic sense) qualifications.
Knowing what I do about the respective difficulties associated with securing a degree in the hard sciences, versus securing a degree in the humanities (did both), I think I'd be pissed off if the guy with the degree in English was making the same amount of money that I was. Is there even such a thing as a "weed-out" course in English programs?
Seems like taking the money out of administrator pay, or cutting the number of administrator's would be a politically acceptable way to get beyond the "fairness" impasse....
All this "English Major" bashing is starting to piss me off...so of course you know now what I studied! There were PLENTY of "weed-out" courses...ever taken a course in Post-Modern American Poetry? A little Ezra Pound? Read much Thomas Pynchon or DeLillo? Writing critical theory abstracts?! Puh-lease! Though I will grant you that most of those were electives, not required, so I guess one could get an English degree without going taking courses like "Chaos Theory in Literature" like I did. My only point is, please stop bashing the English Majors! Some of them (like me) are really good at math/physics too!!
I would agree with your point about administrators however...
No bashing intended.
However, the reality is that it'll take the average person far more time and effort to get a degree in the hard sciences or engineering than it will for them to get a degree in either the social sciences or the humanities.
perhaps it is that the social sciences and humanities are more intuitive for most people. I didn't stay in college long enough to declare a major. I am planning to go back though. I think i know what i want to do with my degree once i get it. however sometimes when i read about what is going on in schools, it makes me want to suck it up and get a degree in geology or biology so i can teach.
p.s. Rumr if it makes you feel any better I had a majorly shitty day at work today.even the best job can stink to high heaven some days.

the problem is that i'm completely overwhelmed, can't get stuff done fast enough...and our department head won't hire more people...constant overtime week in week out...i missed a winter ski trip with my family, i missed a spring break with my family, jeezus fuckin' christ...i can hardly find time to go to a gym for an hour a flikin' week...

and cheam...dig it while you can, man...i used to frame when i was going to college...i loved it...
there is this place in the working world where you get a decent wage and are not too responsible. I am living there right now. once you get past that point you are past it and your life is work.
