so, the doctors here do seem to dish out the antibiotics like lollies, but what's the story with taking them. back home, i was always told i must finish the course of pills, even if i felt better (so the drugs would properly do their job), but here my doctor says, "oh, if you feel better, stop taking the antibiotics". i felt better but finished them anyways!!

basically you almost don't get to choose the brand you want because they all fit different types of feet. find what brand fits your foot best and then choose the one with the flex you want from their lineup.

it's the quick and the hungry around here... besides, if there is something that i know i am good at (and i don't want to boast, but quite possibly the best - in the girls division), it's eating

don't worry, i've got another beer now... and i should also mention the excellent thai curry i just devoured... however, i just want to say that we answer cos in order to get our skiing fix when there is no snow, we comb the forum for things we can even remotely give our two cents worth about. most people here are pretty easy going, and pretty crazy about snow sports (why do you think we spend so much time on the forum?)...

yep, it's me i didn't wanna say, but since you asked no really, i am sorry, i couldn't resist jared egged me on to leave it at that, and after a beer, i was gonna, but i'm not like that... i don't really care who is the best, but i admit i love skiing with people better than me cos they push me to improve with every run... in saying that, i know some pretty awesome skiers, but i find that the best skiers will never say anything about their ability - you'll find out anyway cos their skiing will speak for itself. well, off to eat dinner, i came home

how very Witch huntish.

Yep, have to agree with snowboard freak on that one

went to make the offer on the car, but in a day, it has been sold " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> how you can miss something you never had is beyond me, but I had lots of plans for that van keep looking I suppose!!!

Wow, I wonder what skis he rides?? Must be nice to be able to buy any gear you want!!!

So, what I want to know is, do you think that 20-24man for the car is a little on the expensive side?? We kinda have a weakness in that we have been dreaming about getting a Delica since we had no money in NZ... Anyways, I'm arranging for the guy who we bought our last car from to go take a look at it today(nice guy, gave us free snow tyres with our last car!)... fingers crossed he will say yes since he will get to do the shaken if we buy it!

The wonderful things you learn on Snow Japan!!!! So, "Yosh, makeruna!" it is then... and don't think I won't need to use it this season. I'm sure Jared can tell you all great stories about how I sometimes don't fight - like a girl... it's more along the lines of "Winging, like a girl! I'm a wimp sometimes!!

What sort of mood is right for a cannabulism movie?

I'm having my man from the local repair shop go and have a look at it, price the shaken and a new cam belt. It's mildly concerning that the guy selling it (who should know better) said it didnt need a new cam belt. That means he is either a liar or just not up with the play. jared

There was something wrong with my IE a while ago and it crashed every time another window poped up, so I started using netscape. Somehow IE fixed itsself so I use it again. Netscape is a bit greedy with my resounces often using over 20megs when it has a java appalate going.

"Yosh, makeruna!" You'll have to translate . Sorry, I'm a dummy!!!

I already added my goals to the thread, but circumstances have changed!! " title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> One of my goals was to get more days skiing than last season (50), but, the husband went and got a full time job , so that means unless I can bum a ride up the hill after work, there may be no more time taken off in the afternoon to go skiing!!!

I love Japanese English. My friend got a sticker from her husband for her snowboard and it says "Fight! Like a girl!" I think I want one too!

Season pass to Geto, Appi and 3 resorts in Hokkaido (one is Rusutsu, the others I'm not sure...) is 44,000 once you factor in tax and insurance till the end of September...

... when you're skiing through powder and the snow is light, fluffy and deep that it hits you in the face...

theres not much going on here anyway so as a forum reader I dont mind a little targeted advertising - especially when we can discuss it directly below. I wouldnt want to discourage them talkin to us. jared

There is so much to do this season, the mind boggles!!! Lots and lots of powder... lots and lots of face shots... Hakkoda, Hokkaido, and little old Getou... maybe a 360, a tail grab or if I work really hard, 180 (difficult on skis, you know!!!) Ahhh, the thought of winter leaves me with the warm fuzzies

Isawa is in iwate 2nd prefecture from the top of the main island

I'm with you, Fattwins. We haven't had to sleep in our car to go skiing yet (but we have at Narita...) but we would have not problems doing so (Jared gets a bit squashed, but I'm a shortie, so it's ok!!). Your skiing budget sounds like ours... hooray for cheap tatami rooms at Sukayu Onsen!!!!

No, really, it's not being cute, but practical!!! Jared spends more time on snow japan than he probably does with me (different working hours and all...) My questions will definately get answered if I post them instead of ask them!!!!

Yippeeeeeeee!!!!!! Now, if only it will start snowing in Iwate...
