  1. I've got the fastecs and love them, although I'm no expert. i like the ease of use and the comfort button on them. mamabear wears uses them too and loves them. however, I recall she mentioned they were a bit tricky to operate if you were stuck in deep powder?
  2. bad breath is often caused by gingivitis, where gums are infected. Even if they brush regularly, if the gums between the teeth aren't cleaned adequately, this causes bad breath - hence the need for floss etc
  3. actually just checked out their pricing, $1100 for 7 nights in a twin room. works out only $80/kid/night
  4. work MB? work? I've seen how much work you have been doing over the last 3 months dammit!!
  5. What you mean? Venerable?? Not THAT old yet! damn that auto-correct function. He meant venereal!
  6. LOL, I thought you meant they were predicting the quake would hit at 9pm tonight. I was thinking they are getting pretty smart att his sort of stuff!
  7. grocery shoppong is my single biggest expense. I've got 4 kids (one of whom just moved out two weeks ago) and one dong body building, so we average around $500 per week. Hopefully the bill will come down a bit now no. 1 has moved out Be interesting to see how much the same shopping list would cost in different parts of the world
  8. jelly? cummon MB, you've hit the snow at least 500 times so far this season - all I get to do is look at pictures
  9. my very first venture on snow was wearing skis - it was a disaster, partially I think the boots didnt fit and were crucifying my feet and partially because I was worried about two independently-minded skis taking off in horizontally opposed directions and rupturing my goin. i was only there for the day and it was a big fail. the next time, I tried a board and at the end of the first day, I was actually sliding (very beginner like) down the hill. having both feet strapped to the same plank of wood removed concerns for my groin. In my case, boarding was easlier to pick up than skiin
  10. I love this spinning kick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP-0Ngn6a5I&list=PL83C87EC12ACC8250&feature=mh_lolz
  11. we do a similar one called climbing kick, a basic one shown here in competition at 27secs
  12. Deja Moo the feeling you've heard all this bullsh1t before
  13. mono-ear is unusual but cute! do some dogs not grow out of it?
  14. my son purchased a german shephard, which fortunately lives at his gf's house. he must be over-watering and fertilising because after 12 months: he is the son of a champion bitch and an army bomb-squad dog, and is already at 38kg and still growing!
  15. cheers Snowjunky, they look brilliant. reminds of my first skiing attempt, I'm sure the skis were about 5 metres long! (back in 1994)
  16. First time I went to the snow I tried skiing, and just couldnt seem to get the hang of it, but at the same time the boots didnt fit well and I was very nervous about destroying a groin that had been injured in the past. We were only there for the day, but I put that down as a fail. second time I went a few year later, I tried snowboarding and seemed to pick the basics up quite readily. I had spent a lot of time as a kid on a skateboard (but never on roller/iceskates), so perhaps that helped in the un-natural sliding sideways I would therfore say that FOR ME, without confidence in
  17. it does bother me that people go and do a "6 week self defense course" and feel they now have the skills and "empowerment" to defend themselves. Reality is that in a real life situation, those skilled haven't been drilled into instinct and there's a good chance that person won't remember anything theyve learned, nor will the attacker do what they practiced in class
  18. This can bother me a bit sometimes. Fore example those that you mention who girly punch. they often gain a lot of false self-confidence which in real life might just get themselves into a lot of trouble
  19. my martial arts is just a hobby! only train 4-5 times a week for the past 15 years
