    I would never let The Law Goddess date Alpine K , no matter how silly her screen name might be. I'd rather let (insert screen name here) spank (insert screen name here) with (insert screen name here).

     

    I'd happily spank TLG with (insert (blank) here). hahaha.gifhahaha.gifhahaha.gif

    Let's talk cars again

    I dunno Allison... a new moter will run you a couple grand installed. You're not apt to get that back in resale value when you do sell it. In the meantime, you are apt to get nicke and dimed to death one at a time (I mean couple hundred bucked to death) every few months on all the other little things likely to cash themselves in about now... a water pump, alternator, battery, heater, timing belt, clutch, brakes... pitty.gif My advice would be to bite the bullet and get a new(er) Subaru.

    How do you Sock Up??

    I used to poo poo the liner sock theory. However, I suffered heel blisters and hot spots with my mountaineering boots/snowboard boots/skates. After much frustration I gave a super lightweight polypro liner sock a try with a variety of socks (coomax, smartwool, blah , blah, blah.) My problems went away. It doesn't seem to matter what the outer layer sock is for the boots. I still end up with wet feet and hot spots from perspiration in skates, but it's better than without. bigdrink.gif

    Fear versus Judgement

    When is it rational, and when is it irrational? Is fear always bad, or does it sometimes serve a useful purpose. What is the best response to it? To suppress it, and push on or react to it and retreat, that is the question.

     

    One of the strange things climbing has gotten me over is my fear of heights. I concentrate more on the task at hand and forego the vertigo. When stopped at the crux, I've found saying to myeself the magic words, "it's just mental," gets me past most obstacles. There's just something threaputic about mumbling those little words out loud. To answer your question, I've just pushed on. As a result I've grown, and for that I'm glad to climb another day. fruit.gif

    While a good knife is indispensable, a steel to keep its edge is absolutely necessary for anybody who's serious about cooking. Splurge and get the bigger one if you have a choice. While some are partial to Henkel Four Star knives, my own bias is towards Wusthof Trident Classic (I have a mix of both.)

     

    As for other non kitchen related things...

    - 2 way FRS radios (walkie talkies) I saw a super cheapie set for $20 a pair at Comp USA.

    - Chaco sandals. they kick Teva's ass.

    - Sox.... sounds like a hint for Smart Wool

    - Good Tools!! Hardwicks in the U district is a stealth hardware store with some of the best high end German and Japanese tools you can find.

    - Homebrew Kit

     

    Hmmm... I wish you were shopping for me
