CRAP! Actually, can make clicky and just forgot. Elvisio "thanks dude!" Rodriguez

Once in a while, JUST once in a while mind you, the AP feed pukes up something good on Yahoo.com: http://news.yahoo.com/shopper-arrested-live-lobsters-shorts-134005861.html Elvisio "give him the CLAW!" Rodriguez

For me, this is the most telling part of your reply. The fact that you can "see that changing." If you can even conceive (no pun intended) of that changing, then I'd suggest you hold off. Although kids aren't important to you now, you may find that one day they're the most important thing in the world to you, and realize that you can't have them. All it might take is meeting the right person. It's much like what changed our minds (mine and the wife's): when we were in the consult with the doc we asked about reversal. He explained the possibilities and issues with reversal, and then mentioned that whenever he heard someone asking about reversal he got worried that the couple wasn't ready to commit to the procedure. The patients he knew were ready were the ones that didn't even have to ask about reversal. We went home, thought about it, and decided he was right. And I just can't resist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6r7nuUTenk Elvisio "still looking forward to shooting blanks" Rodriguez

thats like saying skydiving is not worth the possible death. I'll just be careful 'til I get 200 bat hangs. Psssshhh... I'm not like them. It'll never happen to me. I'm smart, I'm current, doesn't matter than I only have 37 hangs. I can swoop into my planks. Elvisio "oy vey!" Rodriguez

I haven't had it done yet but I'm seriously considering it: it'll be done in the next couple years. I went so far as to have the initial consult, but didn't followup because at the time the wife and I weren't ready for the commitment to not ever having rugrats. From what I've gathered, the procedure itself is pretty much a non-issue. Outpatient procedure followed by a long weekend of TV and icepacks. Up and about in a couple days, back to your regular life in less than a week, no problem. The procedure carries the risk of infection that all procedures do, but otherwise reasonably manageable risk. I'll be watching this thread. What I expect to hear from most guys is what I have heard from literally everyone to which I've talked so far: they're happy as can be with the results. Thing is, all of the men I've talked to had kids prior to their vasectomy. It's the commitment thing that you really need to get your head around. Once done, there is not a 100% possibility it can ever be reversed, and IIRC the probability of reversal decreases for each year after it's done. While the vasectomy is a simple procedure, the reversal is quite involved and (as I already mentioned) NOT a guaranteed fix. How old are you? I'm almost forty now. When I was in my 20s I was sure I didn't want kids but didn't get it done then because I understood my mind might change. I know (from your posts here) you have an awesome, wanderlust-filled life into which kids would not fit right now. BUT, that will change. Consider the long-term ramifications of your choice. I'm NOT saying don't do it. I'm saying: make sure you do it at the right time of your life. Elvisio "frozen peas will be my friend" Rodriguez

Gonna wear it like a belly wart? SO much cooler than a Cypres, dude! Gonna BASE with it? Elvisio "so many opportunities for misuse" Rodriguez

Speaking as someone who lost and found their wedding ring (on his honeymoon, no less!): thanks for reaching out and trying to find the owner. Elvisio "one hell of a story" Rodriguez

"Black: “Overall black communicates strength, aspiration and a respect for the classic and the elegant.”" I don't know what buying my black Jeep with a black top and a black interior said about me when I bought it in Virginia last year. I DO however, know what it says about me now that I'm driving a black Jeep with a black top and a black interior around southern Arizona... Elvisio "dumbass" Rodriguez

Wow, your place is hardcore. My place said 3-5 treatments (I only did three, that was enough) and I think they said something about no sun for a week or so before or after, but hey it's my face so it basically came down to making sure I wasn't sunburned. One more reason to shop around, I guess... Elvisio "now, about my back..." Rodriguez

I would call it "I need a clean pair of underwear, please." Elvisio "straight in approach for me, thank you" Rodriguez

I know the threat is minimal, but take another look at that empty wallet and think: is a few bucks more for the protection really worth saving? Especially in light of the "no support" comment from above. Elvisio "baby, I SWEAR, that porn site just popped up there! I didn't click on it! ...more than six or seven times" Rodriguez

Dunno what the law states, but when I was riding I always considered this a point of courtesy to drivers. I agree that it is infuriating as a motorist to have to pass the same bicycle again and again. Here in Tucson, I am not bothered by it as much since it's an INCREDIBLY bicycle friendly city and nearly every non-residential road has a dedicated bike lane. Elvisio "placekeeper" Rodriguez

Sounds like this thread may have some leads for you: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4181590;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread I had my unibrow lasered a few years ago. It's a little painful but not too crazy. They gave me a prescription for lidocaine paste to numb up the treatment area. They told me to razor shave the area 24 hours before treatment, then about an hour before my appt. to apply the ointment. The laser itself looked like an ultrasound probe, just a remote-control sized object that they held to your skin. The pulses, even with the numbing paste, feel like someone is snapping you with a rubber band. The cost is related to the surface area you're interested in treating since the number of pulses goes up proportionally. My forehead handled it fine. For the ladies that get that done to their nethers, my hat is off to you! ETA: remember laser hair removal works best with dark hair. Fine, blonde hairs won't absorb the laser wavelength and be treated. You're stuck with more traditional treatments and electrolysis for fine blonde hairs. Elvisio "one square inch less hairy" Rodriguez

ALTHOUGH, if you think about it, Labor Day DOES come just about nine months after New Year's Eve, one of the biggest party nights on the planet. So, maybe the duplicitous naming of the day does hold a little water... Elvisio "should old acquaintance be forgot... well... at least not for eighteen years it won't" Rodriguez Edit to add: The former engineer screws up, felled by his inability to count to nine without a calculator. Actually, it's only eight months. But hey, that's 32 weeks and most babies born that age do fine!

Dude, I cry bullshit! You're an engineer for God's sake aren't you? Even with the war you have on with IT, somebody must have mentioned this in passing. Elvisio "fucking original Droid doesn't have enough RAM for Angry Birds to run fast" Rodriguez

Perhaps, but blowjobs aren't. So... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ur2er-STls Elvisio "the gift that keeps on giving" Rodriguez

Big vibes going out to all my East Coast peeps! Elvisio "C'mon Irene, Oh I swear don't be mean, at this moment, you soak everything..." Rodriguez

I've always been intrigued by the sense of entitlement we get when we're in our cars. Consider one human being in a car, one on a bicycle, and one on foot. Why is it we feel that the one in the car has some degree of privilege over the other two? Elvisio "burning fossil fuels does not equal more important" Rodriguez

In this regard, I think the part of human history in which we live SUCKS. A couple hundred years ago we had no idea what was out there: we just made stuff up. And to be honest, we're finding stuff out there that knocks the stuff we imagined into a cocked hat. A few hundred years from now (assuming we aren't wiped off the planet by Mother Nature or ourselves) we'll have the technology to go check out all this cool stuff. But right now we're stuck in the middle: we have the technology to look around us and see all the super-cool stuff that is out there, but we don't yet have the technology to GO there and see it with our own eyes, so to speak.

I dunno about a pair, but I'm about to put ONE of my size 12s up your backside for such a misleading thread title! So, once it's surgically removed, at least you'll be half way to your goal! .................. Elvisio "can't even keep a straight face with smileys" rodriguez
