How u doin???

**silas** · 10-28-2005, 12:37 PM

I aint no fucking poet but here's my 2 cents

......Ah once upon a time I was 23-24 just graduated averaging well over 100 days a year........Time warp..........Deep into a career & married..... ski days cut in half.....doesn't mater life changed I like this one too, but to give up skiing or those two years off before I started career life HELL NO. Take the time and play, you will never have the same access to screw off time again.

I don't recall meeting anyone that said "I wish I did not take that year off to go skiing in ______ . That place really sucked the life from me." Take advantage of time without responsibility, go ski enjoy it.

One too many "to"s.

DO IT! Live the dream, sista! L and I will take you to places you've never imagined, and then we can go skiing!

Naw...I hear you. It's a tough balance to be had.

And Steve--I'm not "taking a few years off". I've lived here for a while and have a career of my own that allows me to afford to stay here.

I think her refusal to compromise the Portland deal answers your question. Let her go and if it's meant to be you'll end up with her.

You have to figure that if some part of your life exists outside of skiing you have a responsibility to it. If those other things in life (family, job etc.) are important to you, they can not be sacrificed because then you will be miserable in that non-skiing part of your life.

So I think the line is drawn when you jeopardize those other aspects that you care about and important to you. But if you don't have a family and those other aspects outside of skiing (mainly a job or school) are things you could care less about then there is no going to far.

Rev...Girlski could stay in the loft. This would solve at least one of your problems.

If this is where he keeps his harem, count me IN! And I am curious as to what sort of "problem" would be solved by having a girl in your loft when clearly your "problem" is female related. I am not taking one for the team Rev.

How about...two...for the...team...Girlski?

No..we had a roomie move out and have an extra room open that we need to fill. And I have many problems, Girlski, none of which would you be able to help me with. Unless you're a nicaraguan plumber with a degree in chemistry who loves dogs and doesn't need to be spooned every single fucking night?

Maybe?

Or are you not trying to run a glass studio out of your garage?

There is a way to ski all you want and still have time to make your lady happy. If anyone knows how the hell to pull that off, please let me know. Sometimes it isn't necessarily the act of going skiing or hunting or whatever, it's how you approach it. Make sure that you have her feelings in mind and prioritize them.

My GF just had shoulder surgery on Monday. She'll be on the DL pretty much all winter. Her girlfriend said, " Since you won't be skiing all winter, that probably means Lip won't be getting out too often huh?" My GF responded to this with wholehearted laughter. Yeah, he's gonna stop skiing 'cuz I'm hurt. Rrrriiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhhhhht!!! She's just pissed 'cuz she won't be out touring with me this winter. She caught the touring bug last season and loves it. Good gal, if I do say so myself. Might be a keeper.

Definately go with the instructor, your life will be so much easier!

And if finances don't permit...? Pay a maggot half what an instructor would get?

Keep skiing, Rev. It's important to you.

Paying an instructor is priceless...you are doing your relationship a favor!

The other part of the question is; How important are you and your happiness to her? That should factor into how much should you be giving up for her. Sorry, but just being realistic. There is nothing worse than giving it all up basically for someone and than not having that either in a year's time because they apparently put little value on your happiness.

My ex-husband said "you are too obsessed with skiing- there's something wrong with that!"

Hence the 'ex'. (we actually met skiing, too...how bizarre)

Life is better now. Much better. I can obsess about it all I want. And my BF supports me one-hundred percent.
