If you find yourself in a time crunch, there's this guy named Dan - you may want to contact....

leftover porkchop from last night, salad, and some leftover spicy donburi. drb, that closed system sounds.......nasty.

p.s., either Dean or Clark. Frickin' Dems need to get their act together.

Patriot - a patriotic person; patriotic - supporting one's country. Last time I looked, more people in this country voted against shrub than voted for him. he won on a contested electoral vote. Same for clinton in 92' (with the exception of the contested electoral). Therefore, the will of the country seemed to be against shrub. So does that make those of us who don't like him unpatriotic? I think not!

o.k., I do actually wear orthotics. I own 3 pair. I have a brother-in-law and a sister-in-law who make them for a living. For what issue do you wear them, pronation, arches, combination of things? I don't wear my orthotics in my ski boots, because as you suggest, clamping the boot down puts pressure on the little lump on the orthotic device, which in turn drives it into the bottom of my foot. OUCH! Jim Mates, the guy I recommended, can do one of two things; a) he can trim your orthotics so they fit in whatever shoe/boot you want to wear them in, including your ski boot, or; b) he can make you some footbeds for your ski boots that will give you basically the same support as your orthotics. I realize money is tight, but is sounds as though as far as your ski boots go you have two choices 1) get your orthotics fine tuned, or 2) ditch em' and get footbeds.

Shrub has had a boner for Saddam from day one. 9/11 was a convenient, albeit lame, excuse for him to go in and get the bastard. Don't get me wrong, Saddam had it coming. But the lengths that this administration goes through to first con (emphasis on con) vince that it is necessary and then to convince (again, emphasis on con) the american public and the rest of the world has been outrageous. While I'm at it, you know what really pisses me off? The notion that if I don't support the war, it infers that I'm against our troops, and therefore unpatriotic. Fucking conservative wankers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who made your orthotics? You may want to go see Jim Mates, he's a custom boot fitter in Ballard who does wonderful things to inserts for ski boots.

so far we're both half right.....

They'll probably get past the Chiefs today, but they won't get past New England. And it won't be Manning's fault.

"This Game of Ghosts"

For those of you who never had the opportunity to meet Dr. Otto Trott, you missed meeting one of the all-time nice people that God ever put on this earth. I first met him at an anniversary party for my in-laws. My father-in-law and Otto had climbed & skiied together many moons ago. After he gave a testamonial at the party, I told my wife "I'd pay money to see this guy in Vegas"! He was that funny!

Well if I offended anyone with my post, We trying to clean this place up so when - and his Army of lawyers come after jon for slander and libel we can prove that this is the happiest place on earth?

Q. Know why they call it P.M.S.? A. Because the name "Mad Cow Disease" was already taken.

There was a guy at Apple PT in Renton who is a climber. It's been about 6 years since I was there. I'll see if I can dig his name up.

This thread is so spray.... Nothing wrong with being safe, nothing wrong with being a bonehead, nothing wrong with everything in between.

Dear Friends, It is important for men to remember that as women grow older it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as they did when they were younger. When men notice this, they should try not to yell. Let me relate how I handle the situation. When I got laid off from my consulting job and took "early retirement" in March, it became necessary for Nancy to get a full-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we need. It was shortly after she started working that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from fishing or hunting about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says that she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts supper. I try not to yell, instead I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she finally does get supper on the table. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. It is now not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after supper. I do what I can by reminding her several times each evening that they aren't cleaning themselves. I know she appreciates this, as it does seem to help her get them done before she goes to bed . Now that she is older she seems to get tired so much more quickly. Our washer and dryer are in the basement. Sometimes she says she just can't make another trip down those steps. I don't make a big issue of this as long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening I am willing to overlook it. Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear to the Monday lodge meeting or to Wednesday's or Saturday's poker club or to Tuesday's or Thursday's bowling or something like that, I will tell her to wait until the next evening to do the ironing. This gives her a little more time to do some of those odds and ends things like shampooing the dog, vacuuming or dusting. Also, if I have a really good day of fishing, this allows her to gut and scale the fish at a more leisurely pace. Nancy is starting to complain a little occasionally. For example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. In spite of her complaining, I continue to try to offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush somuch. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any, if you know what I mean. When doing simple jobs she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I try not to embarrass her when she needs these little extra rest breaks. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while . I tell her that as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me and take her break by the hammock so she can talk with me until I fall asleep . I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Nancy on a daily basis. I'm not saying that the ability to show this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible. No one knows better than I do how frustrating women can become as they get older. However, guys, even if you just yell at your wife a little less often because of this article, I will consider that writing it was worthwhile. Signed, Bob Bob's funeral was on Saturday, April 25th. Nancy was acquitted Monday, April 27th
