i'm going for the fat, well insulated look...it bespeaks of fine, comfortable living...

i have been laid up for the last 4 days with flu...none of my kids got it...pretty coincidental... i felt like someone should just shoot me and get it over with...very unpleasant bug... that being said, i'm about 90% now and on the mend...AND, as an added bonus, i lost 6 pounds!

yeah Jeff! Seeing you there brings back memories from waaaaay back! Chris was stoked to see you...and she was (can't believe this) stoked to climb too!!

no...he hasn't been on it...he's nervous about the last clip...

he sent Churning in the wake...he knows how hard Chain is ...if it was him, he was messing with you, Marc...it may have been his little brother (that pic you had was the older one a couple of years ago, he has longer hair now), the younger brother is topping out at 5.10 right now...

we were there too, mark...one of our mini-bots prolly stepped on your rope...feel free to correct them...not all othe thme were climbers... oh...and my boy ticked his project...6 tries over 3 days...

This is precisely why pink I am on this forum so that I can get better at climbing. Oh well, I am only getting ready to climb NF Hood next month. that's funny cause i have only gotten worse at climbing since i started posting here... and all along i thought it was cuz you got fat and married...silly me...

Poliovirus and smallpox infect only humans and have no intermediate hosts, as is not the case with the flu that cross-infects birds, horses, pigs and humans as of today and then who knows. If there are no new victims to infect, viruses like polio and smallpox cannot longer survive in the environment because they are not capable of adapting to a different host. When coupled with their almost non-existing mutation potential, mass vaccination and containment were the major driving force in providing us with the life long immunity and complete eradication of the smallpox (nearly there for the polio). That is not going to happen with the Influenzavirus. Being an RNA virus, it has high mutation rate and can infect the same host over and over again because the specific antibodies produced following flu infection or vaccination ONLY prevent subsequent infection of the original non-mutated virus - one reason why flu vaccines sometimes fail. Second, RNA genome of the flu virus often recombinates with other flue types or even those from other species resulting in hybrid viruses. Again, the new flu strains appear before the adaptive immune response is formed and/or vaccines are made. FYI: The RNA retrovirus HIV (causes AIDS) has the highest mutation rates ever AND goes into the latent phase by hiding out in the resting T lymphocytes thereby completely failing an HIV vaccine as yet. now if u only knew something about climbing... i think u accidentally signed up on the wrong site... hey!!! SHE CLIMBED DA MONKEY!

spongy brains! The lot of you!

actually, Trash is a joke, and he's not all that "inside" either...

This is basically why i'm ambivalent about it...the early statistics showed very little lethality with H1N1 for people in my age bracket; hence my decision to not vaccinate myself...correspondingly, this bug did show some propensity for whacking little kids who otherwise should have been able to battle it off so i opted to vaccinate them...normally they do not get flu shots because the general lethality for them is not high... but, let's face it, none of us are getting out of here alive...we will all bite it one day or another...

Please tell me the reason I state? S T U P I D I T Y

hmmm...stuff to ponder...in light of this were small pox and polio vaccinations the real deal? Or did the little buggerz just die off? I still don't think its a bad idea for small children to be vaccinated (mine have been)...personally i haven't gotten it and won't, but not for the reasons that kevin states...i believe i can fight it off... we will see...i have had influenza before and it laid me out for a week and then i developed a pretty bad cough for weeks afterwards...

to stay healthy...duh

LMAO

you're just feeling jealous...you spurned lover you...

Who is the idiot now? you obviously lack reading comprehension...

I didn't write "Say something is stupid"....there was no contraction... I wrote: "say something stupid"... duh, you are one stupid idjiot!

go ahead, say sumpin' stupid Kevin...we are all standing around waiting to begin the dogpile...

you are a gear whore! sheesh...You are very very lucky that they don't make a lot of stuff in *kiddie* sizes...otherwise, you'd be one broke sucka! hey...expensive lunch on friday??

Extra protein, man!

sack of shit! YOU DECIDE! personally, they oughta charge his lying ass for treason and string him up... "i forget"...at least reagan really did have brain issues...

reservations?? It ain't like i'm staying at the crown victoria!! any thoughts on spain or italy or france, or wyoming??? what are you doing next summer?

yummy!!
