Is this a worthwhile technique for find a reason to go home early on a friday?

There's a girl with a definite sense of priority.

Any other vermin this is acceptable for?

Anything that precious shouldn't be allowed to loose it's charm with age. Besides, don't all topics naturally lead to discussions of drinking, snaffles, sex, or some combination of the three?

Why wait that long? I'm thinking Sunday might be a good day for a batch

I've started stocking up on the Gluhwein when I do my beverage shopping in Leavenworth(love that wine shop in the Subway mercantile ). Not as sweet as some of the spiced plonk, it's the bees knees on a chilly evening. no, no, no, just make your own! cheap red wine + 1 sliced orange + 1 sliced lemon + big tea ball with cloves, cinammon, allspice + sugar to taste Heat until it's steamy but don't boil add sugar gradually and stir so it's well dissolved. If your feeling spry, add a bit of vodka or brandy so it really kicks, or mellow it with some water if need be. We make it with the 5L boxes or the big jugs of wine and then throw whatever we don't drink into the fridge for later consumption

This time of year it's all about the spiced wine and anything warm and spiked It makes going to the dog park at night in the rain much more palatable

ooooh, new toys to fondle Got the inlaws one earlier this year. Of course we still have a windows machine

that guy was f'ing funny. he so gave sharma his first

If was dropped on his head at least as often I was he'll be both a good skier and a genus I'm thinking that there must a nice bell curve relationship between number of cranial impacts and intelligence.... Too many is no good, and to few is no good, you just have to find the sweet spot

Whatever happened to Ascentionist dot com anyway?

Great resources JosephH! Mod's This would be worth making it sticky

:) Rock climbing season is so not over yet!

Um, how far are we talking about lowering? I've usually had pretty good luck with either A) Grabbing the free biner (not the one connected to the anchor/belay loop, but the other one that the rope runs around) and just pulling/redirecting it enough to allow rope to slip a little B) If they can get off the rope for a moment taking the free biner (the one not connected to the anchor/belay loop) and just snapping it into my belay loop, so that it now acts in regular mode. (Though this really requires that you use it in Autoblock mode off your harness, which I often do.) (Remember, as it's loaded across the spine, whether or not it's open has no bearing on it's strength, so having it open for a moment while you connect it to your harness doesn't decrease it's strength. The only danger would be if you actually managed to get the rope out of the biner while you transition onto your harness, which would take an effort to do so and extreme stupidity to try.) or C) Make the wanker on the other end prusik a few feet. If were talking about a non-responsive climber, a long lower (more than say 1/4 of the rope length), and/or a lard ass (whom you can't redirect the device and lower) the block and tackle with a munter will probably be necessary.

And that's what Tuff Love is for

Ok that's a better reason

Thats a very frightening concept

Why in god's name would anyone ever do this? That's like practicing root canals on yourself!

You realize of course that Porter is on crutches........

Mostly that I'm a hermit Will be climbing in the sunshine at Vantage, teaching a couple of newbies who just moved to the area though So if you see me with an assortment of 3 or 4 chicks wave hello

So true! And this is directly affected by the man's ability to simply do his chores without being asked. :LMAO: So, does it go both ways??? Why yes, I do go both ways. Does that help? Not really, as men we were hoping that it was one sided so we could scream discrimination, and pout on the couch with beer and football

It may be a bit cliched but Prometheus is always good. Especially when you remember what his punishment was

Would be interesting to see this all the statistics broken down by age/generation..... (say currently over 45 vs under 30). It was my impression that the 70's/80's/90's were quite bad from a divorce rate perspective, but the current people entering their first marriages are the kids of those broken homes. I know for me it made me quite gun shy.

Why in the world would you marry someone like that? That is in no way caused by marriage. It's all about the 2 people involved, and some people just shouldn't be inflicted on others.
