Jump to postOn the topic of stuff to do in and around Seattle, I'll be going there for the 1st time this December for 5 days. I'll be skiing for two of the days, either at The Summit at Snoqualine or Crystal. Has anyone skied at either place and have recommendations? Thought about doing the Boeing Factory tour,...
Jump to postI'm sitting here thinking about airlines and looking over different route maps, and this strikes me like an ideal couple. Their routes have very little overlap, they could have the backbone of the fleet be the 717 and 737, and they would have a very strong presence in the Northwest US as well as the...

Jump to postThanks for all the info. That underage charge is still annoying me though. I can see having it for 21 and under, but I think 25 is a bit ridicules.

Jump to postGreen really isn't a bad coach. He did a great job with the Vikings, had them in the playoffs year in and year out. Vikings have not done much since he left. As far as the Cardinals it's hard to turn a program around with such a poor past quickly. I understand this is his 3rd season there, but I say...

Jump to postI took the Monorail many times last May when I was staying at the Stratosphere, but was spending most of my time around the Southern end of the strip.

Jump to postI've read most of this post and have a couple of comments/questions. 1. I am pretty sure that the US would not launch a nuke without North Korea first launching one.

Jump to postSo I just bought some tickets to see GUNS N ROSES. Used ticketmaster due to a lack of alternatives, and this company drives me nuts.

Jump to postI can bench 335 one time. Sometimes for fun I'll do 215 about 10-15 times, and 135 30+ times.
I am about 6'1 and weigh 210. It took me 4 years of hard work to get to this point. The first time I ever tried to bench, I failed at 135.
Like they say, "practice makes perfect"
