minx

me too

seriously, i'm not kidding with this one. eat a banana as soon as you can stomach it. drop 2 alka seltzer in a glass of water and down the whole thing. should've done this before bed but it's never too late

That is absolutely horrible. yikes! i certainly hope that she is/was OK after that!

falling a couple years ago on the 3rd or 4th pitch of a climb and busting up my shoulder. at the time, not thinking super clearly for a variety of reasons, being certain that my only option was to finish the pitch. VERY VERY scared even though it was only 5.7ish climbing.

gotta work this weekend. what about the weekend after this?

what about rehab didn't work the 3rd time and surgery cured it??

HEY! there's nothing wrong with Bot-HELL!!!!

A few years back National Geographic did a story on grizzlies and they reported a very small population (6-10) in the North Cascades. Something like that. That must be one of the worst ways to go. recently ran into a rather large brown bear, grizzly or not it was none to glad to see me!!! it sucks the guy died but it's not surprising.

personally, i'm only a little envious

ditto ditto ditto ditto ditto!!!! have a specialist check it out! i was in a constant cycle of rehab/pain with my shoulder resulting from prior dislocations. had surgery 6 mos ago. no more pain, much more range of motion and most of my strength is back. not quite there but improving all the time.

thanks erik gets a cookie shoot erik! i was kidding since trask posted the same spooky article. but seriously thanks. i will look at the studies cited.

thanks i'll have to read the actual studies before i take any of this too seriously. are you and trask getting on the same black helicopter together?

try this hey trask, ya got your boarding pass for the black helicopters yet?

prolly a waste of time, but do you have any links for that info?

shoot! people! i'm not stressed out about it. mildly annoyed. if someone had a simple clever idea, i thought it'd be worth a shot. sheesh! you're makin more out of it than i meant i figured this group would be perfect for answering a simple question.

ummm, sugar, i believe if i have not mentioned specificly it was certainly implied that i have tried the polite approach. i've asked nicely, i've turned off the phones, etc. point being it continues to happen. it was a long shot but i thought some of the cc.com wankers might have some creative ideas. so now you can kindly stfu and go away

thanks! i've got no studs so i can put them on soon

damn! i want to study w/a.gal!

dumb quesiton: when are snow tires legal in WA?

there was snow just a few feet up the hill from my place today

of course it makes it stop ringing. the point is that this happens day after day. i really don't think it should be necessary that i go around and turn off people's phone's each day. apparently, being subtle isn't working. i was hoping for some humorous, creative suggestions that might make the point a little more strongly. the next one is going under the plunger!

could you give me the ones of your speed dial? i don't know any 900 numbers actually that would be pretty funny. marylou the point was that i have tried subtle and polite options. it's not working. and really, who needs to hear the william tell overture performed by a cell phone ringer?!?!

"hi, bob's phone" "oh hi mrs. bob, no bob's not here right now" "what? where is he? he and amber went to lunch" "yeah it is almost 4. gee they have been gone a while" "yeah, they do seem to spend a lot of lunches together" "have a nice day mrs. bob"

i think that's the best advice so far. wish i could follow it

my goodness, thanks so much for the helpful advice i can easily ignore the normal phones. the cell phones w/ringers set on super load going off at 5 min intervals when i'm trying to focus on something other than cc.com aren't annoying they're painfully disruptive. hard to do some tasks when you're distracted. but again, thanks for the the thoughtful input
