Ummm New Hampshire is definitely not in Europe. Take the hair off from across your ass, no malintent was intended. If not knowing was so important to you, you might as well just stay away from the...

I'm on the same continent as you finding out in the middle of the afternoon-- it's old news. You're the guy who keeps asking people to keep quiet about who won the Superbowl until Monday. Be more...

Wrong video-- see post 10. Dates fucking w/ my head-- I knew it was cloudy, didn't make sense.

Great skiing at the very end of a long career. Even with some technical errors he...

Could be wrong, I speak from experience with kayaks, canoes, and sailboats, but not SUPs. The above weighs 32lbs for the 14' SUP. What's a good equivalent?

They are fun, fast, a good workout, and you can see more around you underwater with the elevation. I suggest you build your own-- about the same price when all is said and done, if not cheaper and...

OK, an update from above

Two extruded discs, S1/L5 (large) and L5/L4 (minor).

My neurologist said I was right at a fork in the road on either to go down the path of surgery or not, and 8 weeks...

A corporation isnt' good or bad, it's neither, it's amoral. It is just a means to and end, that is to make a profit and return and increase shareholder investment. It could be hamburgers, cars,...

Well that's good. Neither am I.

Nope, never said that. It's an amoral business transaction. A supposed free market economy doesn't care about morals, it cares about the deal. Better be smart, or your fingers will be pinched in...

It's a business deal. Houses are sold not as homes, but as investment opportunities. When the investment opportunity tanks, the banks moan and cry because people strategically default, yet they'll...

Thank you bro, HR still hasn't answered that question.

Thank you.

Still no STD $ or COBRA paperwork, HR said the STD was filed and the COBRA sent. I got a letter from the STD company saying...

Thank you guys. I have sent HR a polite email asking for some clarification, procedures, definitions, last week, and have yet to get a response.

It's not worker's comp.

My condition could be...

Take your MRI and sit still.

Google "Open MRI" if you want some pics. Not bad at all. I'm not claustrophobic in the least, so WTF do I know, but compare it the alternative.

Seizures are...

I will not be laid off due to downsizing... employment is seniority based and I'm way up the list-- they are actually short of people in my position. There are strong indications that we may go...

Now that I got your attention:

I'm have some questions about Short Term Disability, COBRA, health insurance, and unemployment benefits. Sorry, not herpes.

I had some serious back problems...

If one of yous is coming from another direction, there's also soaring to be had at Stowe and Franconia.

Go for a ride!

Better yet, sign up and get your license!

Technically, the pressurization does not necessarily follow a constant differential all the way up, it depends on the airplane. What you can rest assured of is that the cabin stays at 10,000' or...

Bump for a great thread with lots of good info.

Just found out I have two bulging discs, one impinging the sciatic nerve. Probably a skiing accident from 2003 that I always passed off as muscle...

This is a very basic, and very simple primer on aircraft pressurization.

Legally, an airliner needs to maintain a cabin pressure (pressure of air in the pressure vessel-- passengers, cargo,...

I have had several spontaneous pneumo's, both sides of my lungs.

Here's a quick rundown sparing all the gory details of snapping cartilage upon catheter insertion, etc.:

Quoted for truthness. Just go to your local airport and take a ride. And don't worry about your eyes. When I used to instruct I had more students start later in life and miss out because they...

YO totally sick. The sailing outrigger canoe is a potential next project. Did you get plans for that (out of "Building Outrigger Sailing Canoes" perhaps?) or is it your own design?

How heavy is...

I'm not usually one for the "feel good story"/"watch people overcome" stuff, but I really enjoyed this one, and it's simplicity.

Fyi, EDEN, another video on this guy's page,...

This dude just reminds me of narcissistic-pig-skin-throwing-Uncle Rico. Makes me laugh.

Two points if you are UNDER the age of 25 and can name the ski movie I'm referencing in the title. Damn. ...

My new hero.

WOOPWOOP WOOOOOPPEEEE!!!

Even though I have a crazy schedule and I won't be around anywhere as much as I want, I got up this morning, said, "fuck it!" and pulled the trigger on my first season...

:yourock:

I just realized: I suck and have no endurance.

I'm going to be in Seattle on and off throughout this winter, and I was toying around with getting a season pass at Alpental for 300 bucks. With my wacked schedule, I'm not sure how much skiing I...

Neurodoc gave the best information here. I just found out recently I have Type 2. I thought I was the only person in the world to have it and then after some research I found that about 20-25% of...

NO FUCKING WAY!

The New York Post is thrashing something!!!






They always make me laugh.

Burke = Happiness in the mouth like when you drink good beer.

Had a season pass there for a few years. Great local shots in the woods, super quiet, good burgers. I still have my "Northern Star"...

Hey! I have that same blue/green duvet cover! Got it at IKEA two years ago. FKNA! I need to put it to work!

Mary Poppins is hot.

The Julie Andrews version specifically.

But even just the idea of Mary Poppins is hot.

I hope Bert got some.

Apologies if repeat. I looked, didn't see anything, but I'm retarded sometimes.

Well, jeezum crow. That was pretty damn neat-- lots of killer potential.

heheh! awesome. drunk post preservation.

Ski fast, ski hard, be in peace.

"To fly west, my friend, is a flight we all must take for a final check."

It is quite obvious that many in this thread, including 4matic- which I used as an example-, as quoted above, obviously see those who ride bicycles as sub-human and deserve to be either run-over...

Haha, "The World" by PRI on NPR just interviewed him. He denied it, and said he didn't know how his picture got up afterwards and if he would have done it, it would've been scary and fast, etc etc. ...

Please, someone tell me he's joking...


Oh damn, maybe he's not.



Yessir! Right away! Here I come!

I think your girlfriend is cool.

BOOOOO Cleveland!

Soon, at some undetermined point in the future, I will have to work out of there. :mad:

BOO! Way to screw up a good thread! (for me).

Move back. :p

As always, awesome awesome awesome.

YeeeeHA Brotha' Man! Way to get some.

FKNA that was awesome!

Heh. We reap what we sow.

I hope we all feel a little safer now! Let's keep giving up our rights America! I need to be protected and kept safe because I'm too much of a pussy to sack up and...
