Consuela, I hadn't climbed in years, but I knew I'd need a new one if I did. Don't they recommend changing every five or so?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Today bob bob is taping a game show at magic mountain (cash cab on coasters, I'm told) but *I* am eavesdropping on the talent agent next door trying to get m&ms to agree that a candy hold Does Not include gum commercials. Fun all around!

Depends on whether you've taken a lot of falls on it (I hadn't: I'm very conservative, even climbing indoors) and whether it's been in the heat or sunlight a lot (which degrades the nylon--never use gear that's been stored for a long time in a car trunk, for instance).
I should probably retire all my ropes, too... Sigh.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I'm not proud of it, but my initial reaction to reading a blurb about a new Lynrd Skynrd-themed restaurant was to wonder if the tables are going to be mounted in the remains of crashed vehicles.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
My sympathies, Maria. Peace to you and your family.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Maria, I'm so sorry.
About Weiner, that makes me somehow less surprised. He's such a 20-year-old douche.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am sorry for your loss, Maria.
