I worked for a GP who wanted to climb the highest mountain on every continent. (he turned back 200 feet from the Everest summit on the climb when all those guys died). His Antartica story is insane. a week snowmobile to the mountain, a week climb a week snowmobile back.

But that actually sounds more doable than a marathon there. Do they prepare some cleared route?

A gelding has had his testicles removed, not his cock. They don't remove the testicles entirely, they leave the scrotum, but after removing the sperm-producing bits, the scrotum shrivels up after a while.

Anyway, your father-in-law and his partner must have some great stories to tell from their globe trotting (ha!).


*Oh, the odious way that the mother says that phrase. Egad.
homophobic. but that Mass. school does bother me. it's classism. why can't a prince marry a regular guy?

Wouldn't freak her out.

It confirms that you think the relationship should remain casual. It could dampen any plans she had to discuss your kinda/sorta relationship at work because she might be embarassed to mention that fact (and if she does mention it and a different woman at the office pursues you down the road, well, that's just something else for the dossier, now isn't it?)
I don't think it would have any of those effects, and I am not concerned about her saying anything at work.

I don't think so.

You are right.

Why do you want to break up with a woman who enjoys casual sex, threesomes, and is discreet? I hope this friend from out of town is worth it.

Hmmmmm, this could help with the sack/inner thigh chafing during a run in cold weather. Will a mohel do this for me?

I don't think she would actually have the threesome, but it wouldn't freak her out. But you raise excellent points.

A few years back I was skiing at Tahoe with family for a period of days. My nieces were in ski school. Every day when I dropped them off I saw the some of the same parents whose dropping off their kiddies or youthful charges, as the case was. Anyhoos, saw one particular mom over the course of a few days and then ran into her in line for a lift. We shared the chair and got to talking. turns out we went to the same highschool in Maine. she was a year older, and while I was a student counsel/athlete BMOC, she was a math club geek (think Eva Silversteen except really hot, a lot hotter). We ended up naked together in the hottub before the trip was over. So, you never know, know what I mean?

i don't think you recognize how dedicated coltrane is to his running, he wouldn't be interested.

No you won't.

You'll be saving for college, paying higher insurance premiums, buying whole wardrobes of which the kid will pick exactly three items to wear, period, and you'll be shelling out for gas, movies, video games, computers, microwave popcorn, and, eventually, refinishing the basement when one of them moves back home at the age of 34.

Then, you will die.

So ignore their friend requests. That's what I do.

Holy crap. Less took out ads.

ETA: This has nothing to do with facebook. I hit reply to the post instead of the generic reply.

Hint to Coltrane: make it so you don't get e-mails from facebook. Makes for a happier time on there. And ignore mercilessly.
