She is an absolute goddess. Young fit attractive etc, 11/10 if we're going there. Smart as hell too, recently completed her masters and has a very senior position already.
Her husband wrenches on sport bikes, and assembled the two mtn bikes they ride around on..
(full disclosure - I'm sure I'm reading way too much into this but sure seems odd to me. Hubby is clearly perfectly capable. And for the record I would never cross that line.)
To accurately asses, pictures would be helpful answering the question about repairing the bike

But those precious things are a liability when they affect relationships and memories.Quote:

Good luck.

I had a blackberry for a couple years before apps were really a thing. It's web browser sucked so it was pretty useless except for typing emails and texts, and making calls. Even though it was a work phone I didn't have much need for email access on it. Might as well had a flip phone. If someone made a new one it would have all the apps and be like every other smart phone. Just with a better keypad.Quote:

And a tiny screen. Because yea, that’s what we really want.Quote:

She does what any beautiful woman would do--charms some hapless fool into doing it for her. I've seen my wife do it a million times. Problem is, she's forgotten that she she's 71 and it doesn't work any more.Quote:

The idea about the pages on the other side of the binding is correct Still a modern issue. I'd call it more an issue of printing versus binding. Printing signatures are generally going to be 16 or 32 pages for economy of scale. Cheaper to print a 32 versus a 16 and an 8 and a 4, so leave 4 blank pages at the back. But then in official documents, you can have people wondering if some text got omitted by a double sheet going through the press. So it's clarified by the disclaimer.
What's the best mountain identifier app?
I dunno if it's the best, but peakfinder is popular.
+2 for Peakfinder.
I like to look at the map and take a bearing to identify peaks but I’ve been accused of being a Luddite

I was in the CO mountain club back in the day, and wayfinding with a compass was a lesson in wilderness trekking class.
I've liked peak finder but it's the only one I've used
I like the solution in the alps. On top of every pass we crossed on the Tour du Mont Blanc there was a board with the skyline peaks labelled.
If you were subjected to music 5 days a week, several hours a day at work with lyrics containing the constant use of the n word, what would you do? Mind you after asking others weekly for the past 4 months if we could not play this stuff. This is a work environment and frankly I’m really sick of hearing it. I’m about to send an email to the HR inbox as I keep dropping hints this music isn’t exactly appropriate. Nobody seems to care. Months of this shit is really wearing on me.

How long is this longshoremen strike gonna last? I've got a container that was supposed to hit Jersey on Thursday and another one next week.
People around here heard the news and are rushing the supermarket like it’s 2020. Is TP and pasta going to be unobtanium again?

To answer your question we'd have to ask ILA Union President Harold Daggett, pictured here (lookers left) next to a U.S. politician (lookers right), how long he plans to in his own words "cripple" the United States.Quote:
