  1. Ask Schwab if they can "re-sipe" a tire. I think they have some tread depth standard they apply. I am almost certain that they cannot deepen existing cuts, because their machine is automated. It would make new cuts. Unless the old cuts are mostly gone, it wouldn't make sense to resipe.
  2. "I wonder when was the last time this guy took a bath?"
  3. Yeah? And what comebacks have you gotten with that one?
  4. I was planning on being out there this weekend. Probably will head out Friday and stay until Saturday.
  5. Since you brought it up, could you comment on the benefits of leading in blocks, and when it is most appropriate?
  6. Folks, it's time to enroll in Chinese language courses.
  7. I wish I could develop an immunity, but it seems I become more sensitized with each exposure. My understanding of the toxin is that it is an oil. Your skin has a thin layer of keratin rich dead cells, underwhich is a fatty layer. The oils are only stopped by the top level of the epidermis. Once they reach the stratum corneum they are easily able to diffuse through. Any sort of scratching or abrasion speeds delivery of the oils. It is important to use soap and water to emulsify these oils. Water alone will not remove them easily.

    DONE!

    Time to come to Pub Club.
  9. Did you hear about the guy who was murdered because his faith healing treatments failed to cure his client of stinky feet?
  10. Accidents and homicide have the greatest effect on reprodution, not disease. But death before reproductive age has a small effect compare to differences in fecundity.
  11. Speaking of which, is Layton still sticking it out with Chiropractic School? He must be out climbing or studying or some such.

    New graemlin

    Before such a graemlin is accepted you must first explain exactly what it's meaning is, how it will be used with all its nuances. You must also include a cost benefit analysis. Also explain how it will get along with the other graemlins. Will it wrap it's tentacles around, Yoda for example.
  13. In fact, many chiropractors ARE doctors. "Doctors of Chiropractic". I also disagree with the statement that MD/NDs and DCs "hate and disparage" each other. My brother is an M.D. You don't want to get him started on Chiropractors. One way to regard a severe poison ivy reaction is to view it like a second degree burn. It basically disrupts the protective integrity of the skin.
  14. When it get's that bad, it should be treated with steroid injections and antibiotics. If infection sets in you can die. If this even happens again, make her go to the doctor. Chiropractors are not doctors. They hate each other and disparage each other.
  15. It can be really bad. It helps to stay covered with clothes when you are around the stuff. You need to be careful just washing the clothing. Treat it like it has radioactivity on it or something.
  16. By that you mean Pub Club?
  17. Humans have been subject to a wide array of selective pressures throughout evolution. Our ability to adapt to a variety of environments or to shape our environment is a reflection of this.
  18. I already use that. That's good practice.
  19. What is a "dummy runner" used at the belay?
  20. Latona is fine with me. It's still on my way home. Latona at 65th Street Latona By Green Lake, Seattle Tavern 6423 Latona Ave NE (206) 525-2238 By the way, there is a balcony in the back of the place. Make sure you all look up there for the group.
  21. Thank you, that was much better.
  22. I actually wonder if in some ways we are regressing. If you compare the family size between people with positive genetic traits and those with less postive traits it is possible that some who shouldn't be passing on their genes are doing it with more frequency than those who should. Come on! Who's to say what traits are postive and negative. Rich and poor are not traits.
  23. That's your best attempt at sarcasm?
  24. The Patriot act was designed to silence internal dissent, why not use bombs to silence external dissent?
  25. It would be after 9 pm for me so I could get in some laps in the gym.
