    Outdoor Preparedness Overkill

    Some people can get lost in a parking lot. Hiking may not be a good hobby for them.

    This is weird--I got an invitation from someone today at LinkedIn. I don't visit the site very often.

    Outdoor Preparedness Overkill

    What I didn't like about the article was that it recommended taking a lot of gear on a short hike. Yes, people here get in trouble, too. Personally, I don't get close enough to the edges of cliffs to fall off and I don't go where I can't see the trail. If I tended to put myself in riskier...

    Outdoor Preparedness Overkill

    I live in the Denver area, and even here, the weather can turn from sunny to blizzard in less than an hour. I keep a blanket, tennis shoes, and jumper cables in my car. I'm always prepared to get out of my car and walk if I have to.

    Outdoor Preparedness Overkill

    What the article didn't mention is that a little common sense goes a long way. If you're not an outdoorsy person, stay on the trail, pay attention to where you're going, head back long before dark if you're not camping, and head back if the weather starts to turn.

    Outdoor Preparedness Overkill

    From today's Denver Post: "I tell people that if they plan to go more than 100 yards away from their car, they need to be prepared to spend at least one night out," says Kevin Wright, who is on the Alamosa Valley Search and Rescue team. Apparently, I was taking my life in my hands yesterday...

    What Happened to Chivalry?

    I don't mind it when someone holds the door open for me, but when he stands in the way while doing it, it's awkward. And it's always a he. I don't want to brush against someone or do the limbo under his arm. FWIW, my suggestions for holding open a door are to prop it open and proceed once...

    Dance lessons

    Check out my thread on learning to dance (see signature line). In the first post is a lot of information on selecting lessons, teachers, clothes, etc., and the thread is full of tips on getting the most out of your classes. There's also a thread called Dance Etiquette--it's a thread from way...

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    That's very true about simpler posts getting more responses (just like this forum). Unfortunately, my subject matter (solving your own health problems) requires more than a paragraph per post to show readers all the steps. But I think there are enough medical/health/wellness sound bites out...

    Learning to Dance

    Pay Attention to a New Partner I put the ideas about dancing with a new partner to the test tonight in a jack & jill (a contest where you're paired up randomly). I had three partners. I'd danced with my slow-lindy partner a few times before. Even the first time we danced, we just clicked, and...

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    Surprise! I've gotten responses from two book authors on my blog. One wrote a book with the same name as one of my posts (You Bet your Life) so it popped up on her Google alert. It was on the same topic, too--even though I'd never heard of her book. Last night I wrote a post about a strength...

    If he's a Retrosexual, what are the Ladies?

    I think some people aren't aware of what they're conveying with their clothes.

    Hmm do you think Brooks Bros. is regretting the Thom Browne fiasco???

    I actually like the cashmere fun cardigan (stripes, plaid argyle, diamond design all in medium gray and white). It would take a certain type to pull it off, though.

    Indulgence Day

    I like to go to a drop-in dance class or take my dog to the mountains or one of the dams. As for bathing, I take a 10-minute shower and give my dog a 10-second rinse with the hose. We'd both rather have a day of dirt, sweat and fun than primping.

    Goodwill buys

    On the spur of the moment, I got off the bus at the ARC thrift store last night and found two pairs of jeans and two pairs of shorts. I've been trying and trying to find jeans and shorts that fit. (The last pair I ordered had enough room between my back and the waist to carry a small kangaroo...

    1932 again?

    Here in Colorado, it's over $30 a month for basic phone service. Half of that is taxes. I've seen cell phone plans that are cheaper than that. In some cases, people use cell phones to save money.

    Wonderwoman becomes just another sulky goth teen

    There’s a new origin story (by J. Michael Straczynski - were all the women in comics busy that day?) that casts her as an amnesiac refugee... Amnesia? Really? :rolleyes:

    It's a bummer if you work long hours and don't have someone else to do the shopping.

    Skin Care tips/remedies

    My regimen has changed since I changed my diet: Wash with Burt's Bees orange facial cleanser. Pat dry. Apply Queen Helene Mint Julep mask to any pimples. Use Neutrogena Anti-blemish Anti-wrinkle cream if I have a breakout. That's it. After starting a very-low-carb, high fat diet a few...
