I"M CONTROLING UR COMPUTR BUTTONZ AND SPENDING UR REFUNDZ!

I'm not a gambler, but if I were hoping for something good to happen, those odds aren't too shabby. *hugs and good thoughts to you and kitty* :kisss:

Is there going to be a test on this? I don't test well.

Does Darius still need a partner?

Wonder if there's a way to toprope some of the trickier bits?

I feel your pain, Rob. Hard enough finding that balance with just a spouse to mollify. Can't imagine how much harder it would be with kids thrown in the mix.

I know feet. Thanks for the info on the 4.5 cam. Curious as to whether you still have the three smaller cams? I'd be interested in getting all four, if so. I want a big rack like Billcoe.

:cry: Damn, DeC, you're makin' it hard to get my spray-fix over here...can't see a thing through all these tears. That was an incredibly powerful account of your journey with Ruby. No way I couldn't have pulled that trigger to let her make that final step; she is lucky she had someone as strong as you to help her across. Thanks to you, Mikester, and to all, for sharing. It's good to catch a glimpse of how each of us steps up to the plate when it comes to being there for our critters. Our "special needs" lab mix has nearly sent us to the poorhouse with two TPLO surgeries, severe separation anxiety fallout, among other issues, but she's ours to care for so we do what we need to do. They deserve no less than we can give, whatever that may be. Best wishes to you with your little one, Minx. Not that it pays the bills, but judging from the response in this thread it looks like you're in good company. :kisss:

The pleasure was all mine.

I think that was cuz I offered to lick the potato-chip grease off Archie's fingers in the Valintime's thread. My bad.

I did.

This is great pillow talk. More men should ask for directions. Just saying.

Not if we see you first.

I like the toes. Especially the left foots'. What size/price is the red cam?

I doubt that, but a little licking could confirm/cure this. Yes, getting the wills was the best part of our V-day! Almost like getting married, except you skip straight to the death-do-us part part.

I feel your pain, Minx. My Valentine gave me TWO cards. Just what I wanted.

Can I lick your fingers?

Both times I've followed "Old 5.9" on BoC it has totally kicked my a*#; I can't imagine how ugly my leading attempt would be on it.

No Hallmarks for us, but we did get our wills done today.

Awesome! You two are an inspiration. Doing laps on Breakfast of Champions?! I've yet to get ONE clean send on that bugger. Nice work out there.

Ewww.

Excellent TR, Sobo! I have a hard time imagining how incredible it must be to experience such a trip-- having never done anything more burly in winter than shoosh down a few groomed slopes at a shi-shi resort or two--but your vivid descriptions put me right there in the mashed potatoes. (You had me at "vurp"... ) Way to pull it together despite the hangover.

I liked that game better when Whoopi Goldberg was in the center square.

Dang, Rob, you are cashing in the karma points as of late! Glad you got out alive(again.) That sounded like a close call. I'm a trailrunner(for the same reasons stated upthread), but when travelling I will hit the streets for my run if I can't score any trail fixes. What happened to you has always been a concern to me, as well--driveways to houses, store entrances and parking lots, all require you to run with eyes in the back of your head. Even if you're opposing traffic, you've got to be watching watching watching. The drivers aren't looking for you as they careen into their destinations. I went for a couple neighborhood runs in Vegas last time I was there(not enough daylight after climbing to trail run )and I almost got taken out a few times crossing the strip mall entrances. Nothing snaps you out of that endorphine high like 4000 thousand pounds of steel, glass and rubber in a hurry to get to the McDonalds drive-thru. I'd say the best "safety precaution" one can take as a runner/pedestrian is to pay attention. Watch and listen. Reflectors and lights are great if the other guy is looking for you, but in the end it is YOUR eyes that will tell YOUR brain to GETTHEHELLOUTOFTHEWAY. Be safe out there, pal. And thanks for the food for thought.

Drugs were never a temptation for me even though the stuff was around the house all the time when I was a kid--it wasn't until I moved out on my own that I realized that a sifter was used for FLOUR--but I saw it what it did to folks over the years. Not a pretty sight.
