Speaking of shite....

What is the fewest squares of TP you can use?

I can get it down to 8 or so for a good semi-clean-break sh#t (clean break is when the door slams shut and not a hair has been disturbed back there)

Xanax, Klonopin , Valium

Those are trades names for benzodiazepines, not barbiturates.
You're an addiction specialist?

It was scary and not just because it looks intimidating, if it was kicked out and used I could see it being not so scary firing on all cylinders in full mid season form.

Fresh with not even so much as a single pick to draft or anything that resembling a kicked out foot it was all cards in.

I wanted to get back on it ASAP to get my head around the intimidation factor but my climbing kept bringing me elsewhere until it was finally a kicked out baked mess and waste of my time.

I didn't mention it was my third WI5 lead. I was fully ready but it may have made it feel more real than it actually was. I climbed the advocate in the Cats this season also that gets a 5+ depending on whom you talk to. It was the day I did I it that's for sure. Dropline felt harder imop but that's just me. Ice is subjective and in all reality it was probably the same?

Sadly I think my 3-5 bm's a day require about 3/4 a roll per day by my weekly calculations..

Not sure how many sheets that is but its a fist full a wipe I know that.

I used to be a scruncher(of TP)but came to realize that a smoothly rolled length not only gives a cleaner, more comtolled wipe, but uses quite a bit less paper. TMI?

Sometimes on construction sites some guy will dump in the crawlspace. Then the electrician crawls though it. Then we have discussions that lead to advanced cultural awareness.

Anita, get well soon. Hopefully you've got some support from family and friends in hospital - it always helps. I've spent a fair bit of time in the last month at VGH, helping a friend who had very serious surgery, so can sympathize a bit with your situation.

I very rarely now post - too busy with other things, not much to contribute apart from a teeny bit on the "cats" thread, and FaceLift. You definitely add something positive to this madhouse, so keep it up.

I'm astounded that you've managed all the adventures which you've showed us, with your leg imbalance. Very impressive! Hopefully your surgery will be short term pain for real long term gain.

Speaking of which, we used to have a prolific poster who to protect the guilty I'll nickname "BEL". (She probably still lurks.) Anyway, she's a nurse (non-climber), and might have contributed some useful advice on this thread. However, she was also in the habit of posting torrents of other stuff, and drove many crazy. Eventually she was sent to Coventry. Were she posting here, I shudder to imagine the results.

You can get through this! You ICE CLIMB for god's sake. The pain isn't fun, but you can get through it. Instead of harping on this sh!t though, how about an attempt at humor from me before I finish up my taxes.

Back in the 70's, I lived sightly north of San Clemente proper (just before San Diego County in Southern California). If you lived in this area; you surfed. No waves; skateboarded liked you were surfing. Oh yea, left out smoked waaaaay too much pot. Anyway one day, a skateboarding day, we were skating and smoking. Amazingly eneough we got hungery and headed over to one of my friends house to munch as his parents weren't home. The 5 of us get there and Joe (the eldest and one of the 2 of us who lived there) proceeds to set up a major sandwich production line. Everyone gets this huge sandwich on a plate and we are just getting ready to partake when we hear the front door shut. Joe's mom who was a very devout catholic, Mrs. S was home. She ambles into the kitchen and we do our very best to look look cool, but slits for eyes and sh#t eating grins give us away. She gives each of us the once over, goes over to Joe and says," Joe, you all look half-stoned". Joe being on top of the situation says," Half-stoned? Mom, we're f^cking wasted!" Dead silence reigns. I quickly say "bye Mrs S." and with the other 2 got out of there. About an hour later we head out to check the surf in SC and there is Joe sitting on the curb at the bottom of the hill with his head in his hands. Kicked out again. (Don't worry, he got back in within a week and found places to stay in the meantime). We were stupid, but did look after each other.

Anyway, hope that at least made you smile. I'm looking forward to seeing many more shots of you on rock and ice.

Working for a large line clearance tree company in the early 2000's. Aerial lift truck, chipper, crystal-meth felon Foreman and alcoholic trimmer, me, still an apprentice. Meth comes in at about 4am to start the truck and polish the fenders down to the metal. Meth is having a hearty breakfast of pink snowballs and Mountain Dew Code Red or some similar garbage.
We usually work in the woods, but on this day, we get sent to a brand spanking new development. Drinky-crow goes up in the bucket, and Meth and I are on the ground. I'm running the chipper, and around 08:30 I see Meth running back and forth, panicked. He's yelling up at Drinky-crow, who's half deaf anyway. Meth tells me "I gotta shit!", and then promptly craps his pants. I shut off the chipper, and meth climbs up in the chip box. He peels off his crappy boots, socks, jeans and underwear, and I hand him some plastic bags. He scrapes himself off as best he can with wood chips. The smell is unmistakeable. I fetch him his rain bibs, and he climbs down so we can drive to Bi-Mart, a small scale employee owned local variation on Walmart.

Meth heads in with his rain bibs and bare feet to clean up and buy clothes. The restroom is out of order. I go in to buy a pop and observe.
Meth buys paper towels, windex, a package of men's socks, a pair of Rustler jeans, a package of boxers, and a new pair of $17 work boots.
The cashier is about 67 years old, cardigan, pearls on her eyeglasses retaining strap, glasses down on the end of her nose. As she swipes the last item, she raises one eyebrow and says in the loudest voice possible "What'd you do, sh#t your pants? Heheheheheheeee!"

DIY?
another manifestation of the Canadian health care system?

Don't consider moving south of the border. As measured by unnecessary hospital deaths I'm certain we're WAY ahead.
