How did you handle the altitude?
With Diamox, I forget the scientific name. It speeds up acclimitization, although the side effect is that you pee a LOT, like constantly. But even with Diamox and 7 days at altitude, getting up to 19,400 ASL was hella hard. I had a headache at the summit, although I didn't get confused or anything.
We did have a couple of people have trouble with the altitude, but we had the meds and the expertise to address it, courtesy of the guides and mybrotherthedoctor. It all worked out. By rights I should be exercising right now, to take advantage of my increased cardiac fitness, but I have a sinus infection and all I want to do is sleeep....
I'm validatin credit card statements, and an employee I don't know just became my favorite by noting "A lot of butter, I don't remember why" in his explanation for a receipt. Coded under Culinary Experimental Material, so legit, but funny
LOL, kind of awesome.
Less awesome: Just saw a Subaru commercial where the voiceover lady is all "I was born in the winter of 77" blah blah she got married after college, had twins, but then they were in a horrible accident in their car, but because it was a Subaru it was All Good...and then it shows her twins, now wearing graduation robes and caps.
SUBARU. I AM 40. I was born in 77. And I would've had to get married and then be pregnant with those twins like a month after graduation, for them to be graduating now?? You couldn't say born in 75, or 73 or something??

Cool! I got a prescription for that when I went to Chile, because we went up to about 14K feet. Luckily we were able to acclimate over a few days, going to like 8 and 10 and 11K first, so I didn't end up taking the diamox. I've never been to 19K but even at 14 you could tell how quickly it tired you out and how thin the air was
High school graduation, though? If the twins are 17/18, she had them at 23.
Unrelatedly, someone remind me not to go argue with/smack down early 20s gothlings who are posting sweeping gatekeeper statements on FB, complete with throwing around the word "poser". It'll just make me cranky.

I have pictures of testicles if you think they'll help.
It took me a couple of months to adjust to living in Utah at 4,800 ft from the few hundred I lived at in Pennsylvania.

Teppy has our backs.
Or it may be that hers are the biggest balls of them all.

Well, the *pictures* are, at least.
Jilli, I have never heard of bi-polar like that. Fascinating.
