Dear lord WTF are you doing at the computer! Killing threads since 2004.

Is happy to have made it to 2009 without choking on cheese and a cracker. Killing threads since 2004.

Not sure, but will likely take a chance. Got certified as an EMT which can be used minimally in my current job. Would love to give it a go in the EMS field, but am hesitant to leave a job that I love (for one that I would probably love even more) in times when so many jobs are being cut. I win either way, but have a tough decision to make regarding taking a chance. Killing threads since 2004.

I wish I'd had that one in my pocket that last couple weeks while visiting my family. Thanks! Killing threads since 2004.

+1 I just learned it about an hour ago and is still the best one all year. Me too! I saw it listed here but had no idea what it was in reference too until a few minutes ago. I love it! I feel like such a twat-waffle for not having realize what it referred to sooner![/reply] Dude, I literally just choked on my cheese and cracker when I read that last sentence! Score for almost choking me out with 45 minutes left in the year!! "And it never fails to make listeners laugh. - Michelle" And Michelle's comment rings true! Killing threads since 2004.

And with 2 hours left (central time) I have a new favorite! Killing threads since 2004.

That really sucks, dude. The first suggestion I would have though, is be careful about what you post about here. If you decide the court route is the way to go and it does go drag out knock down you don't want to regret anything you might have said in public about it that could potentially be held against you later. I'd suggest either posting sober, or drinking offline, but this might not be the best time for both. I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. I feel for you, and hope whatever decisions are made will work out for your daughter. Killing threads since 2004.

Big rocks? Nah, rock climbers just need cracks to put their fingers in them .... So Blue Skies and Tight Cracks then? Happy Holidays! Killing threads since 2004.

OMG! Big Jim Slade is my hero, and the capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln! I probably saw that movie 50 times in high school. If there was every more than 3 or 4 of us there someone rented Kentucky Fried movie (why we didn't just buy it, who knows) and we spent the time in hysterics. edit to add: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxYO06TDHoc Killing threads since 2004.

Blue Cross covered it when I was jumping. Don't know about my current policy with Aetna if I were to start again. Killing threads since 2004.

It won't perform any miracles (making a pair of tennis shoes waterproof, etc.) but for seam sealing and beefing up previously waterproof stuff it is awesome. Should be good for what you are looking for. Killing threads since 2004.

Yes SIR! LaBamba, Burritos as big as your head! While at school in Cincinnati we routinely drove to Oxford or Columbus, OH and Lexington/Louisville, KY to get a good burrito. Sadly both Oxford and Lexington closed, but OH the memories!!! It would hardly be a stretch to say I ate upwards of 400 to 500 LaBamba "Super" burritos while in college. I wish there was some way to know just how much we spent per burrito considering one location was 45 minutes away and all the others were 2 hours. I highly suggest giving it a try if there is one in your town. http://www.labambaburritos.com/locations.asp Killing threads since 2004.

Don't need a pillow, but do need something under my head. Items such as an empty vodka bottle and a curb have worked just fine in the past.

I have a Garmin 360 that I just got off ebay recently for relatively cheap. New in the box, cost me about $140. It's the lowest level model that includes bluetooth so you can use it as a handsfree phone connection. I'm pretty happy so far, though I don't really do much navigating, mainly just watch the map when I need to. The bluetooth feature is nice. Killing threads since 2004.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081216/ap_on_re_us/adam_walsh Fla. police close books on '81 Walsh killing HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – A serial killer who died more than a decade ago is the person who decapitated the 6-year-old son of "America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh in 1981, police in Florida said Tuesday. The announcement brought to a close a case that has vexed the Walsh family for more than two decades, launched the television show about the nation's most notorious criminals and inspired changes in how authorities search for missing children. "Who could take a 6-year-old and murder and decapitate him? Who?" an emotional John Walsh said at Tuesday's news conference. "We needed to know. We needed to know. And today we know. The not knowing has been a torture, but that journey's over." Walsh's wife, Reve, at one point placed a small photo of their son on the podium. Police named Ottis Toole, saying he was long the prime suspect in the case and that they had conclusively linked him to the killing. They declined to be specific about their evidence and did not note any DNA proof of the crime, but said an extensive review of the case file pointed only to Toole, as John Walsh long contended. "Our agency has devoted an inordinate amount of time seeking leads to other potential perpetrators rather than emphasizing Ottis Toole as our primary suspect," said Hollywood Police Chief Chadwick Wagner, who launched a fresh review of the case after taking over the department last year. "Ottis Toole has continued to be our only real suspect." Toole had twice confessed to killing the child, but later recanted. He claimed responsibility for hundreds of murders, but police determined most of the confessions were lies. Toole's niece told the boy's father, John Walsh, her uncle confessed on his deathbed in prison that he killed Adam. Wagner acknowledged numerous missteps in the investigation and apologized to the Walshes. "I have no doubt," John Walsh said. "I've never had any doubt." Many names have been mentioned in connection to the case in the years since the killing, including serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, but Toole's has persistently nagged detectives. John Walsh has long said he believed the drifter was responsible, saying investigators found at Toole's home in Jacksonville a pair of green shorts and a sandal similar to what Adam was wearing. Toole died in prison of cirrhosis in 1996 at the age of 49. He was serving five life sentences for murders unrelated to Adam's death. The Walshes, who appeared Tuesday flanked by their other children, long ago derided the investigation as botched. Still, John Walsh praised the Hollywood police department for closing the case. "This is not to look back and point fingers, but it is to let it rest," he said. Adam Walsh went missing from a Hollywood mall on July 27, 1981. Fishermen discovered his severed head in a canal 120 miles away two weeks later. The rest of his body was never found. Authorities made a series of crucial errors, losing the bloodstained carpeting in Toole's car — preventing DNA testing — and the car itself. It was a week after the boy's disappearance before the FBI got involved. "So many mistakes were made," John Walsh said in 1997, upon the release of his book "Tears of Rage," which harshly criticized the Hollywood Police Department's work on the case. "It was shocking, inexcusable and heartbreaking." For all that went wrong in the probe, the case contributed to massive advances in police searches for missing youngsters and a notable shift in the view parents and children hold of the world. Adam's death, and his father's activism on his behalf, helped put faces on milk cartons, shopping bags and mailbox flyers, started fingerprinting programs and increased security at schools and stores. It spurred the creation of missing persons units at every large police department. "In 1981, when a child disappeared, you couldn't enter information about a child into the FBI database. You could enter information about stolen cars, stolen guns but not stolen children," said Ernie Allen, president of the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, co-founded by John Walsh. "Those things have all changed." The case also prompted national legislation to create a national database and toll-free line devoted to missing children, and led to the start of "America's Most Wanted," which brought those cases into millions of homes. What it also did, said Mount Holyoke College sociologist and criminologist Richard Moran, is make children and adults alike exponentially more afraid. "He ended up really producing a generation of cautious and afraid kids who view all adults and strangers as a threat to them and it made parents extremely paranoid about the safety of their children," Moran said.

Good luck today, bro. Hope everything goes as well as it can. Killing threads since 2004.

I'm not sure I'm the best person to answer from a financial standpoint as I'm currently making half what I made in my first job out of college, however I'm happier than I've ever been. Every job I've taken has resulted in a cut in pay but a significant increase in happiness. I've learned that I'm willing to make sacrifices in order to enjoy what I'm doing. Sooner or later I'll have to settle or else I'll end up paying someone to work for them. All that said, I'm single with no kids. Obviously a different position than you are in. My advice is to seriously consider what is truly important. Are you the person you want to be doing what you are doing? Are the sacrifices that you could make that wouldn't put your family in a bad place, but that would allow you to make a little less in a career move you would be happier with? I don't envy the choice. Killing threads since 2004.

My brother did something similar once, only it was with a little blue box. He was visiting me in NYC and actually went past Tiffany and had them gift wrap an empty box. I wish I could remember the story behind it. The only thing I remember is that it was for the girl he HAD been dating until only recently. Killing threads since 2004.

The problem isn't messages not going, it's that failure messages are being received for messages that were never sent. I just received one yesterday near identical to one I received in July. Forward them both to the rocklimbing.com account. Killing threads since 2004.
