is magnuson the one on Lake WA?

you people make 30 sound sooooooooo bad! Thirtysomething is definitely better than twentysomething! I wouldn't trade my early 30s for my early 20s Granted i can't drink the way i coulb but i attribute that to being out of practice.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWe! I like nipple clamps as much as the next girl but I've never used trasks!

Greg_Y, I did not say that *I* would be attending. Just wondering who was going to remember the real food. Lemon grass skirt...how tropical Maybe i'll show up if it's 80, there are drinks w/umbrellas and cabana boys to fetch them.

cripes, the emerald queen casino must be next

so you're saying someone else is going to have to bring the lemon grass?

what about the poor forgotten eastside?

woof! damn! then i guess i'd still have to have my clothes on and therefore my shirt still would've been on backwards. alas, maybe it's time for another

trask just wanted to start something about boobs

yeah!

if they had nudist day, i think there'd be a lot more in shape office slobs!

hmmm...i think there are rules about that at work...but i'm not sure

hey it's been that kinda day! petty annoying crud! I wore my shirt backward until lunch... i definitely needed a

must be b/c i just had one!

no thanks, i think i'll just stay here, bitch and be annoyed by it or not really consider it very often and exist as i choose to

and i find this reality really fucking annoying

Not to be a bitch or maybe just to be a bitch, i'm gonna defend the mounties for a minute Not that the wankers haven't totally pissed me off once or twice I used to instruct people in a dangerous activity. I demanded that they follow certain rules and adher to certain safety procedures that I have long since quit using myself. The reason? They're new, beginners, rookies. Trying to keep them safe and uninjured was more important than being practical in the beginning. As skills and knowledge were gained, I relaxed some of the rules. Some of it seemed ridiculous to them at the time but the one time I was swayed to ease up w/a beginner something bad happened. Keep in mind who the mounties are working with. It may seem ridiculous but the goal is to keep everybody safe. Maybe the sign that people are ready to move beyond all these rules the mounties have is that they go out on their own.

you're that desperate to hang out in t-town? zoinks!

oh come on...we all have our dirty little musical secrets. Cheryl Crow is benign and vanilla and completely harmless. Leave poor timmy@y alone...it's not like he said barry manillow

cripes what's your problem? the guy needs a place to stay during a move. no big thing.

my kid is a second grader. He is by no means a stellar studen but we just had report cards and conferences and i was quite pleased with his progress. Anyone who knows me know the value i place on academics but i also think it's important for the kids to get away from it. I don't mind a bit of reading every day but i'm not going any further than that.

I absolutely disagree with this and refuse to participate! I think the lessons learned during the summer months with out school are every bit as important as the education during the year. My son will go to summer camps but they won't be "science" or "computer" camp. He'll play sports, play in the water, play in the trees and play in the dirt. We'll keep reading in the evenings but no homework! blah!

Are you talking about Rainier there Rob? I thought you only needed to be licensed for Rainier? I certainly haven't thought to the degree of being a licensed independent outfit, but would rather like to test the water so to speak by tagging along as an equipment mgr. or something with a more established firm part-time for example. More to the point though, do you and the others have an opinion as to how rewarding such a job might be? Not sure how it would apply to guiding but I know that in my former hobby those that chose to go pro found that they lost sight of their personal goals. They spents so much time looking for clients, catering to clients, sucking up to clients, and planning for client goals that they never were able to focus on their own. Something to consider

a brilliant idea but i doubt its success. even w/my weird yet oh so crappy taste in music the punks who stole my CDs didn't toss 'em. really of all the stuff they stole what i want back the most are my sun glasses and my CDs
