Well, ok, I guess this one time wouldn't hurt.

Is it too late to apply for the free gift card?

I'm with my buddy High on this, too. If I'm sketchy about a particular route, watching someone style it first gives me a good visual model for my own efforts to send it(even though I may fall far short.) Unfortunately, being open to this external influence has also worked against me, as I find it hard to style a route after I've just watched someone panic and flail. Can be a little hard to shake the bad vibes. Still, watching someone climb beautifully, or do anything beautifully, for that matter, is inspiring.

The Holy Spirit is aid.

Those who do it simply because they love to do it, out of a love for the experience regardless of it's outcome--that's the BEST kind of climbers. You're in!

Here I am! Don't worry, High-, I'm still here for you! love you too buddy! Didn't mean to worry my dearest cc.comer's. (You guys are so sweet to miss me!) I've missed you, too. But Muffy's right, she didn't have me. (glad you'd let me post though, if you did ). Actually, Archy was my captor. I'm a lucky girl. (And rmncwrtr, I'm saving the choc sauce pudding for us. For this trip, I made creamy lemon cheesecake bars with macadamia-nut crust. They went perfectly with the raspberries Archy brought. Good thing we got in lots of climbing!)

True. And you don't even get a nice pelt out of the deal.

The beginning of eternity, The end of time and space, The beginning of every end And the end of every place. Archenemy has two, of course. Kevbone does with one. Answer's in every question, It's also found in none.

A one-eyed bunny lives in our driveway(before we back out the cars, we have to make sure he's not under them. If he is, we shoo him away by waving at him on his good-eye side). I don't think he'd be too happy to hear about Mr. Dirty Bunny's exploits--gives the other bunnies a bad name. Not cool.

Wheelchairs are cool. Keep on truckin', Mr. Cool Dood.

OMG, you're right! Now I feel so uncool. Again.

Where was this thread when I was in high school?!

This is still real-world, but there must be some correlation. "How Many Steps are in a... • 1 mile = 2,000 – 2,500 steps • 1 mile = 5, 280 feet • The average step length for an adult is 2.5 feet • Most adults walk 2 – 4 miles per hour. • Most adults walk about about 750 – 1,500 steps in 10 minutes. • One city block is about 200 steps. • 10,000 steps is 4 – 5 miles. • One flight of stairs averages 10 steps. • Average distance, round trip, from a couch to a TV-8 steps. • Most school tracks are _ mile=500-625 steps." So, every 10 strides on the stairmaster is a story. 'bout the same as the trip from the couch to the TV, if it were uphill.

True. Definitely don't want to overdo the kugel. The kegel, on the other hand....

O-Ohhhhh! I was thinking kugel. "13. kugel--an occasion for feasting or celebration, especially a day or time of religious significance that recurs at regular intervals. " (from www.teachnology.com/worksheets/misc/hanukkah/quiz/) Easy to see how a gurl could get the two confused.

What does Swedish pastry have to do with this??

And that is when it becomes an adventure. And a trip to the ER. Glad you scared some sense into him before he tried any smackdown moves on ya. Would have been hard to type the TR with one eye.

Glad he didn't knock out your eyeball. Seattle PI newsstory--Bear Attack

If you ever decide to run for prez, you got my vote.

Sisters named Latoya, Latawnya and Daisy?? :noway:That's some messed up fambly.

Doesn't sound like good times. Glad you lived to tell the tale.

Doctors are always saying stuff like that. Next they'll tell you that smoking is bad for you or that you should wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle. I'm sure Robby Knievel wouldn't stand for rules like that. Robby lived next door to us here in Sequim for several years. Never saw him wear a helmet, but saw him drinking a lot of beers. Bottoms up, AlpineK!

Deception is an element of cheating(by definition, at least). So, wouldn't using such techniques become "cheating" only if they claimed to have done it without them? Seems like if they own up to whatever method they needed to resort to in order to send the climb, they're not cheating anyone out of anything--they're acknowledging what worked for them at their particular skill level. I reckon it becomes cheating when it is represented as something it is not and therein takes something away from the person who sent it cleanly. Those particular folks were doing their thing in plain view of the climbing world, on video; that doesn't seem deceptive to me.

Encyclopedias. "S" was my favorite.
