layton Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Lost: My girlfriend When: While I was away climbing all the time Last Seen: Big empty space in my heart No questions asked. These are very very very very hard to come by so I won't beat the utter crap out of you. (I tried to put my green electrical tape on her, but I think a ring was what would've stayed on longer. Does Metolius sell something like this, I've seen other girls with those things on). Too bad, I miss her. She's saved my ass many more times than even my yellow alien has! Quote
Led_Hed Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Layton, You were loging 300+ pitches of sandstone at the time she went walkabout. Better break out the velcro gloves amigo. Quote
willstrickland Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Mike, I'm in the same fucking boat mate. Either you can get her back or not, you probably know by now if that's possible. The question you've gotta ask is: If she can't tolerate the climbing and you being away now, are you willing to cut back? There is no other way. For me the answer was no. You may smooth it over for a while, but eventually the ice will be in phat for two weeks solid (gotta get on it while it's in), then you'll be honed from the 16 consecutive days on ice and you'll get a once in a lifetime invite for a secret FA...which of course you'll have to accept, after that you come home sucessful and rest and celebrate trying to get your head straight from the intensity of the FA, she thinks you're being "distant", the success from the FA leads to an invite to Alaska. You come home after doing a big Alaskan route in a push and find a note on the door and your shit piled in the garage.... Could be for the best in the long run. As for me, I've got a date Thurs. And I've come to the conclusion that being a 30 yr old ripped climber dude with a graduate degree, making good money, with no kids, no previous marriages, no prison time, and not bad looking to boot, is in pretty high demand among the ladies.

layton Posted December 15, 2003 Author Posted December 15, 2003 Where's the F.A. you're talking about? Let's go do it soon. I can't go to AK, I already committed to a helicopter this summer. Quote

A date in Fairbanks? I've heard that the odds are good, but the goods are odd. Quote
willstrickland Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 See Doug, you've got it backwards. For chicks looking for a man, the odds are good, real good...but like you said the goods, well quite odd. I fit in real nice up here Quote
Doctorb Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 I have no sympathy for you. As I type this, you're driving to the Canadian Rockies for a month of climbing, girlfriend or not. Quote

Well, at least you don't have a self image problem. Quote
willstrickland Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 The ladies love a confident man Josh...just don't slip over the line into arrogance. Besides, with all the Unabomber lookin mofos up here, I'm a virtual prince charming Quote
icegirl Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Geez, I have the same problem. I take off climbing for a week with the guys, and the ex-Man at Home gets all worried. What I need is someone who cooks, cleans and happily sits my dogs while I'm off climbing in Canada. Quote
Al_Pine Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Why would you need cooking and cleaning when you're away? Quote
Dru Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 Hey Sprayton have you tried Russian mail order? You can probably even get a Titanium one from Irbis Quote
icegirl Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Or check this out! All I can say is ...amazing... TRASK!! Check it out, you gotta ask santa for one of those! Quote
klenke Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 That's outrageous! One of them would make a great gag gift except I don't have $6000 to squander. I thought I had seen it all when I saw the Rice Boy page. These dolls trump those Rice Boys. Quote
Dru Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Dan Savage was on the tip about those dolls like 4 years ago Supposedly you can warm them up in a hot tub first so they feel more like something living Quote
willstrickland Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Layton, just pick up a sixer of this after climbing Quote
minx Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Geez, I have the same problem. I take off climbing for a week with the guys, and the ex-Man at Home gets all worried.

Dru Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 and they don't talk back AND you can drive in the carpool lane with one of those in the passenger seat! works better than putting a wig on your dog! Quote
icegirl Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Last time I tried to put a wig on my dog, they both ended up in the front seat trying to kill it. HEY! Why you tryin' to put a snafflehound on my head! Here, let me help you with that! Quick! Get it get it! I got it! Now we gotta tug on it! Needless to say i had to pull over as I was laughing too hard to drive... Quote
