I like Shiffrin as well, and agree with your assessment of her. And I know they trained in different skiing disciplines, but I honestly doubt Shiffrin could handle the speed and rigors of downhill.
At least three actual stakes are locatable on my property. Which pretty closely align with the tax maps. I think with a little effort the few remaining markers could be located keeping in mind my property lines have many different angles. My farmer neighbor had all his property surveyed a few...
Perhaps, but IIRC, she went out before the real competition began. I just know for her to get over all she's been through to even be in competition health was nothing short of amazing. I saw a spot on her during her training and damn, her workouts were tough as crap! Likely well beyond any...
I was actually cheering for her. And yeah, I heard she almost lost that leg below the knee. DAMN!
I shattered my tibia when I wrecked my motorcycle in 2005 and still have lots of metal. Talk about pain! Hurt almost as bad as crushing a finger tip.
We got some serious winds and about 1/8" of snow yesterday in central Va. We are just to the east of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which did get a bunch of snow. Looked like a blizzard looking west.
My Mom's house, which we are getting ready to sell, has her driveway half way on the adjacent lot. We grew up there and took care of the lot, even had a garden on it. Now we are dealing with how her lot and adjacent lots are very weirdly laid out.
They had 5 Rangers of various trims marked down pretty good. Then they have a Raptor that is only marked down $800. They have another Azure gray Lariat, but it's a 2.3L. If I am going to spend the money, I want the V6.
Struggle is over! Somebody else bought it. $8100 under MSRP. I didn't even get up the gumption to go test drive it. No loss. We'll see what deals pop up this time next year.
I know people who have the drive to become something. These are the people who are on the phone as soon as they get up in the morning, work long hours, seldom take an entire weekend off, and when they are on vacation, are constantly on their computer or phone. I have hung out with people like...
The Red Cross needs to cover the cost of blood collection. It ain't cheap, selling the blood to hospitals is a way to recover that cost and in general raise money for charitable purposes.
“The American Red Cross essentially collects blood from donors and then as part of the way it raises revenue...
Agree with one exception, I donate blood regularly via Red Cross. I don't give them money, just blood. They are constantly campaigning on blood shortage in my area, and they are the only organization in the area that collects blood. Having to have several units when I wrecked my motorcycle and...
Yeah, here in Va., I have used much more firewood than anticipated this year. I am trying to use up a bunch of old wood from removing a bunch of trees on our property the last 2-3 years, because recent winters have been fairly mild, and the wood was starting to rot. Started think we may not even...
I used to be poor as shit, by my own poor judgement. I wouldn't give crap to any charity because I needed anything I got for my own bills. Then I started to wake up, got an education, made better decisions, started to save and invest. Now I would not consider myself rich, but my future is solid...
I don't give a shit how much money someone makes. But when they use their wealth for nefarious purposes, then I take issue. Yes, I'm talking to you Soros family.
