Love it. Climbing is important enough to give me a great feeling when I send a project but not important enough to make me depressed when I don't send a project. I'm careful not to put all of my eggs in one basket.

I learned a long time ago that there is no such thing as rock bottom. It can always get worse, and the minute you think it can't....it does. I also learned that the minute you realize that grass still feels good between your toes, that leaves still blow in the wind, and that a smile is contagious, well rock bottom may just be the top of some other hill. Either way, the view from the valley is pretty good too.

drugs, hard liqour, beer, and the occasional blow job.


i wish i was bipolar so id have some bliss instead of the constant ache.

I guess I am like most of the other people on here--I am very happy with my life. I have very flexible hours so I can work when I feel inspired and cut back when I don't need the money. I don't have kids and I don't shop, so my overhead is low. I have the cutest, awesomest husband and the best little dog ever, great family, cool friends. So...my only complaint is that the Red is 8 hours from me! I am pretty close to fun mountainbiking though (and better weather than KY).

Very well put.

I'm actually on number 2 brother.. my first one was when i was 30... Each time the docs tell me i have no blockage, even enlarged healthy looking valves. i have a resting heart rate of 44 and good looking lungs (so says the docs again) So your guess is as good as theirs, i suppose. Some folks just have all the fun!
seriously though, they think it's a clotting issue. people always told me i was thick... i didn't realize the were talking about my blood!

Back on topic. life is still A-O-K

I hope you are taking some sort of medication. Asprin or something. You must have some sort of bad family genetic history. But dude, MI x 2 at age 33, a clotting problem I hope you are following up on that. Get a platelet inhibitor on board or something. There is to much life to live.

sorry to hear it. good luck.

kipp,

Im at the opposite end of the spectrum. Im working less and loving it. I have an amazing wife, great dog, awesome family, a house with a little climbing wall in it. Hope this new life of yours still allows time to rope up together a couple of times!
