Pope, that's in exceptionally poor taste.

Ballard was its own city until 1907.

Where have all the gapers gone? It's chatter time!

If airlines want to do this on a voluntary basis, maybe then so be it. Then I can choose another carrier. Wait, no, even that creeps me out.

I believe you can thank Andy Fitz for this outstanding piece of legislation.

No lunch today yet. No breakfast either. Since I'm still in my jammies, it should probably be something like whiskey instead of food anyway. I might have to take a nap and think on that.

As far as the under the boot liner thing, apparently that is a real idea. The cheaper orthotics look more like Superfeet on steroids, and it might be possible with those, but the ones I have were made by a different process where they actually put plaster casts on your feet, and those ones would rip in half if you tried to put them under anything but your foot. FWIW I now have an appointment scheduled with an orthotist to see what the problem is.

So Matt, am I to understand that in all of your worldly knowledge, you believe that I've purchased 2 pairs of ski boots that don't fit correctly? Is this based on personal experience with problems skiing in F.O.s?

But the craazy Canucks think gay marriage is okay, and gay deevorce is.....still illegal. Whoopsie!

No, don't do that, we likes the chatter!

Jiminy, I can't believe I waded through four pages of whining about BD. Both BD and CV have good rep for good CS. If you don't like those gloves, tell them so. As far as the seam blowout, they are going to want to know about that. Companies need to know when their stuff falls apart so they can make corrections. All of the whining here and on that BD thread, well, it makes me want to hurl. Be proactive before you start trashing companies.

Doug, I wear orthotics because I broke a bunch of bones in both feet one time. The worst of it is subtalar artritis and ankle bone spurs, a lot of them, on the same side. Some of this comes down to money for me, I spend a lot of money every month dealing with this. The associated problems tend to pile up after a while, and if skiing menas spending more money on the problem, I may not be able to ski this year any more. That said, it would be at least nice to know what options are out there.

Single wall tents tend to work better in bad weather than in good, matter of fact.

So what I can't understand is why a guy with a PhD really cares if he was arbitrarily banned from an internet dicscussion group? Just get a new name and post, if you really want to take part, or forget it. Come on man.

I've been real happy with the s40. The fully manual comes in real handy, and I think the lens is a little more better than on the Elphs. Little more weight too, but you get something for that. I'd respectfully disagree with Ray on the 3mp thing and go with 4.

I don't think the Thermos would provide enuf support. Dru, it would be impossible to wear an orthotic between the liner and the shell. The orthotic is the exact shape as your foot. Guys I do appreciate your input, but if there is anyone out there who actually knows anything about what I am talking about, or who actually wears orthotics, please chime in!

Doug, my orthotics were made at UW. I don't have medical coverage for orthotics, so I had the students there make me some. They used the method where they put your feet in plaster casts to get the shape. Paul, interesting thought. I always try and bury them into the heel pockets of my boots, and on the one pair, I wore them while I was getting the thermofit thing done. On that pair of boots, the orthotics really have no choice in where they sit in the boot. I'm wondering if the pain is originating from the fact that ski boots clamp down tight on the instep, which could improperly load an orthotic in the arch area. It really hurts, and then after a while, generally my feet calm down.

I've had this set of orthotics for about a year now. The adjustment thing is done. I hardly ever put golf balls in my ski boots just for fun any more. Lambone, you are still an asshole. But we knew that, I guess.

Rented it, watched it. Figured out the obvious part before the movie was over, didn't get some of the bits from the very end of the movie. Watched it again. Carefully. Still didn't make sense. Even reversed and watched again the couple of places where the director had the actors mumble. Still didn't get it. Someone want to explain to me what happened at the end?

Insomniacs unite!

So every time I put on my ski boots, for the first little while, I feel like I have golf balls in my boots. Sometimes it is for a little while, and sometimes it is the whole time I'm in the boots. Never a problem in street shoes, even if it's been a day or 2 since I wore them. Igenerally wear them 5-6 day per week. I'm not sure if there is an easy answer here, but I can't ski without them, and some days I can't ski with them. The pain is $%^&!!!! unbearable from the orthotics sometimes.

Experiencing nature?

I thought the snow in Snorting Elk bowl was pretty good, everywhere else went from just okay to levels lower than that. Still though, a meidocre day of skiing trumps a lot of other things.

Yah, I love skiing in the rain..NOT!

There is no justice! What about tomorrow! Somebody call a WAHHmbulance!
