JulianDH my cat pees and poos next to the toilet. And then she gives us a "I-DIDN'T DO IT, HONESTLY!" look

I used to be a ski instructor.

I don't know, bad ankles and knees may not mix with down hill skiing

[PearFreak]

I have an idea...




Lets all meet up, and see how many of us fit on a big ole tobaggan and go doooooooooowwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn a big ole hill. We'll have to make it for next week, as for traveling and getting a scheduled day off. Heck we'll even let Operator blow something up and move all the dirt it forms in a big ole pile, hopefully we'll get fresh snow the same day. LOL!




(and no I am not crazy... you all wish you thought of this )

They don't. I have bad knees from years of downhill skiing. I haven't actually skied for over 20 years. Golf is more forgiving for us old folks.

Does 45 count as old?

[Ruthxxx]

Heck 45 is Young! Try 70 and that's not even old these days I keep telling myself!

[Slashnl]

Allison, are you kidding? You're 45? So am I!

And no, it isn't old. It might have seemed old when we were 20, but we were very wrong then!

I went skiing a couple of times when I was 27-28. Loved it. Hoping to try it again now that I'm getting fit and fantastic. If not this season, definitely next will see me out on "The Greatest Snow on Earth." It is ridiculous that I live less than an hour from about 10 ski resorts and haven't been going.

I may be 40, but I'd look pretty good in ski pants.

Operator~living in Utah and not skiing. Something is wrong there! I love Alta and Park City. My DH's family used to have a timeshare at Snowbird in the Ironblossom Inn--but they sold it before I met him. They often would get snowed in and have to miss school (darn)!

I think I knew that--didn't I? They say the mind is the first thing to go.

[JuliaDH]

Y'all not making be feel optomistic about aging.

[Ruthxxx]

It's not so bad. People treat me with respect BUT NOT IN HERE!

[srmb60]

I respect you Ruth!

I am 48 and darned proud of it!

[JuliaDH]

Who needs respect when they have a 6 pm scotch waiting for them. I imagine you sitting by the crackling fire with your feet on the ottoman in a dark leather arm chair. With the man servant in the kitchen preparing dinner. Cause that is how I would do it.

I know. It's sacrilegious. But I will soon be joining the faithful. My X and I are thinking about renting a condo in Park City for a week long family vacation. Sounds silly when we live so close, but it would be like "getting away from it all."

BTW, Ruth, we do to respect you, ya old buzzard.......Ma'am!
