Mechanical One Judi stopped at the gas station, got out of the car, opened the hood, and checked the engine oil. After a few seconds of what appeared to be intelligent thinking she took the dipstick in her hand and walked over to the attendant. "Excuse me," she said, "but can I buy a longer dipstick?" "Sure, ma'am, of course. Why do you need a longer one?" "Because this one isn't long enough to reach the oil."

Lummox, that is why I said, OK, here is the rest of the story: If you can help & and at this point in time I have no idea what kind of help we are talking about but taking the kid out to hike, fish, ski, intro to climbing, hell I don't know, tutoring, Christmas and Thanksgiving is coming up etc. PM me and I'll send you the high school counselor telephone numbers etc. This lad is 16 so a lot of legal issues arise here. But nonetheless he needs some type of help, and I am sure the school direct that asistance." Foster home, legal issues etc all part of the things to come for this lad. He has a job Telemarketing after school to earn money. Anyway I need to go as I have class and he is in it, so off I go to do my duty... I believe there are enough brains out there to help with this situation. I'll be that CC.comers can come up with a plan and a proposal to help or lead to help that the school district can use. My concern is that he is not a loser and he needs direction to keep him on the path.

Necro you know me and I know you, so it’s not like we are anonymous, but yes you are correct. There are a lot of kids in need. I have helped a few over the years, I have cried over a few, I have seen terrible things done to kids and moms by men...BUT here is a chance to help again and I hope that the lad can get some type of help. I don't know much at this point but my scheming Finn Lander brain is working. Legal issues are coming to head...he could probably use some legal help so he can get his SS from his mother that is being siphoned, he probably could use advice on a ton of things to prepare him for going on and becoming an educated person with a vision in life. But for now it’s a matter of survival. If there are spelling errors I don't care at this point just go with the flow sisu

No don't feel bad you are intitled to feel bad as everyone is. But you have done something special for me and possibly for this boy. So thanks sisu

You think life sucks, eh. I work at one of the local northend schools. There is a real nice black kid here that I met a few years back. His dad does not take any part in his life, his mom just died and his sister, who was to be kinda watching after him, burned the family dwelling down during one of her runs...You think you have it bad? Fuck, this kid is a nice guy about 16 or so and on his own. Some friends are lookin' after him, but how far does that shit go...I only wish I was independently wealthy. This is a kid worth doing stuff for to save his ass. Ya, we are powerless, but I will try doing something...giving out information to the school and see what they can do. But I am afraid I know the answer... JUST SO NO ONE THINKS THIS IS MY USUAL SPRAY...ITS NOT THIS IS A REAL KID AND ITS A REAL SITUATION. I AM EDITING THIS BECAUSE OF MY REP AS A SPRAYER.

Lets see...you only wear wool and cotton hemp etc. You only use muscle driven transportation or wind or solar etc. You never seek out modern medicine and its wonders from the petrochemical indusrty I could go on and on and on but why bother this arugment is like gun control: WE ALL HAVE OUR MIND SET AND THAT IS THAT

If you had done your research on wine you would have found that the industry has indeed perfected synthetic stoppers for wine...both twist ons and push ins like the cork stoppers of old and present. What the industry did find is that the consumers of wine are snobs and whiners. Even in the face of evidence that the new stoppers and twist tops are equal if not better in some instances in persevering the liquid they, the consumer, still scream for the "old cork" in belief its a status symbol.

Boring!!!!!WTF you talking about. My son went to Stevens twice and boarded. He had a great time. Snow was up to his waist. I on the other hand took care of car business, cleaned the house drove to Portland and back to move items for daughter and son-in-law. Boring!!!!!Go find something to do. shovel dog crap if you have a dog, clean the house, the car, go for a walk, enjoy the rain pelting ya in the face, get out of the city and breath some air, go to the city and eat at local greezzzzzzzzzy spoon that serves real food not microwaved, go to the zoo, go to an art showing, shit there is a ton of stuff to do.

I used to live next to Sasquatch. He had the biggest paws in the neighborhood. Damn cat could fight like a real street pro, too. One day I hear this commotion by our kitchen window. There the old bastard was ducking it out with 2 cats. He fucking kicked both of their asses. He lost a little fur here and there in the fight but when it got going real good he just waded in and started grabbing hold of 'em and crunching down like a lion, then he'd kick in those back legs and rip the shit out of the opponent. Before long he had one running away and the other was cornered and losing more fur that Sasquatch.

God Damn Dutch when the Dog gets back we have to get together and be wild and evil.

... I bet I have been trolled Whothefuckcares, as long as the math is right.

spoosed ta be good huntin' in dem dere hills

Here ya go read this. I figured it was better to post the site...it's a long one. http://classics.mit.edu/Tzu/artwar.html

I quit buying alpine gear. I use FD binding, and AT skis or fat skis. The skins I have will fit any of my skis. This way I can AT or Alpine and spend less money on gear. I also believe the that skiing the AT gear actually requires me to pay closer attention to form and precision. Thus, improving my AT skiing when out and about.

Very well put Matt, and a BIG thank you for saying it so well. Sno gos have their place. I like to get to long distance ice climbs on them, hunt for caribou from them, and go ice fishing in remote out of the way spots on them. There are irresponsible users but that is true in every sprot and activity. I don't own a sled or a 4 wheeler any longer, but IF I move back to the GREAT FROZEN NORTH I'll have both and a jet sled.

this thread should of been moved to spray for all the crap it SPEWED

Here ya go Trask. Hunting boo in the winter from machines. You don't chase the critters but you get into their territory and bang you might get lucky. Winter boo hunting is C-O-L-D! http://www.trailheadcabins.com/alaska_trail_maps.htm

Spray is worthless as of late. I am as guilty as the next. It's like all the stuff worth arguing about is gone and the same old shit keeps popping up. People have run out of nasty puss filled statements to say about Erik, Necro etc. The President Bush, Republican Democrat tirade is weak; gun control has lost its appeal as everyone has their own feeling and will not change. We can't argue religion because most people on this site don't feel that strongly about it. Its there a new subject that we can argue, spew spittle over and rant and rave on?

Dogman, I'll get in touch with some "good old" boys in the Valley and Fairbanks. I have been busy lately...shooting and hunting for grouse and deer.

Last night I got the confirmation I was waiting for. An Ex-student of mine was shot and killed with his counter part was engaged in a robbery. It was weird as I read the story a few months ago I figured it was Frank, but could not get confirmation. Last night I did. The other teacher and I spoke of Frank's home life, what there was. He had a con for a dad that was in and out of the Big House on a semi regular basis. Even in 8th grade, Matt and I figured Frank was heading for the Big House or the Box. Well, the SOB got the box. I believe he ended up with 3-44 mag rounds in his torso. Probably went out of the picture real quick. Like the old saying goes, "You fuck with the bull you get the horn". It's just too bad "we" didn't have enough of an influence on him.

Jessica Lynch had a bad time of it. That is fact, but she is getting this recognition because she has a vertical smile, and it looks good to award this metal to a female as some commanders are questioning the sanity of putting females in the field during actual fighting. Plus, Pres. Bush's advisers think this will look good to the American public...boost his ratings.

I've climbed with Erik and I have never seen him eat cake. Bugers and fries, yes. Pie, yes. But never seen him garf down a cake.
