    The most expensive wedding you've attended?

    I've been to two in the 400K range. This summer was: 400 guests, ~15 valet parkers, ~40 wait staff, an outstanding band, plus other musicians, 6 fine art photographers, etc etc

    Worst purchase you made in the last year or so?

    It'd be a memory foam mattress pad that I bought from overstock.com. I can feel my hard bed through it.

    Back from Road Trip!

    I disagree, I think that the Grand Canyon is amazing. But you went to the wrong spots. Try the north rim or a river trip, or some time backpacking down in it.

    So I start treatment for alcoholism next week... *UPDATED! #2* 1/6/08

    She definitely won't be a magical healer. I also work in alcohol/drug counseling. People's sobriety has for more to do with their personal power than anything I tell them. Good luck!

    Are you happy with what you do for a living?

    I love my job but the pay sucks but that's ok because I'm happy. Truely. I work in the therapeutic industry with not advanced degree. I work 8 days on then have 6 days off. Typically have 24 weeks off a year and my bosses are AWESOME.

    Internet glory years

    Value America bucks. oh yeah. but for some reason I don't actually rememeber what I got through them, all that I know is that it was a lot. My best memory was getting a $400 instant rebate to best buy, no strings attached, thanks to the internet.

    Have you ever seen anyone get murdered or killed?

    Twice. In the 1989 San Francisco earthquake, the building across the street from me collapsed. A woman was pulled from the wreckage and dragged in front of my house. She was very old. She was in her night gown. And she was covered in dust and debris, fine powder and rock was embedded in her...

    If given a chance to climb Everest, would you do it?

    I'd have to think long and hard about it. Likely the answer would be no, but it depends on the opportunity. I have two friends that have summited, and I climb mountains and am an avid outdoors person. But Everest is a dangerous zoo. I'm not sure I'd go. And at the moment, I have no desire to.

    Job Application question

    I'm applying for jobs. It sucks. One company that I'm interested in has multiple open positions that I'm interested in. Is it normal in this situation to send one cover letter covering all of the positions? thx

    Question about air travel...

    Quick question but United's phone system SUCKS. Ok, so an employer sent me an email about a week ago saying that they bought my ticket. The email included the flight number and time but that's it. Is that enough? How does one fly? Do I just show up and I'm in the computer system...

    BUY NOTHING DAY - November 26th

    Good points. Yes, I did copy and paste from their website. I parrot AdBusters because I feel that I am a member of their organization. I've never bought their magazine though. Don't need to. Adbusters is a little different than every other company that is trying to sell you something. They have...

    BUY NOTHING DAY - November 26th

    Thanks HappyPuppy. I don't agree though. We're friggen inundated with advertising all day long and our whole society revolves around buying things that you don't need or want. I guess I'm just a little bit more intune with this because I'm in college and see people all the time trying to...

    BUY NOTHING DAY - November 26th

    I personally find it pretty hard to not buy a single thing in a day. Well, unless I spend the whole day at home or I'm backpacking. The idea is to not buy ANYTHING. Some people take it as far as trying not to use electricity or disposables because they also cost money. I turns the busiest...

    BUY NOTHING DAY - November 26th

    For 24 hours, millions of people around the world do not participate -- in the doomsday economy, the marketing mind-games, and the frantic consumer-binge that's become our culture. We pause. We make a small choice not to shop. We shrink our footprint and gain some calm. Together we say to Exxon...

    BUY NOTHING DAY - November 26th

    Buy Nothing Day is litterally one of my favorite days of the year. Does anyone else celebrate it or do any related actions? This year I'm going to set up a Shopping free zone with my friends. We'll have police tape surrounding us. Inside anyone will be welcome to do anything that doesn't...

    Tents

    "last a lifetime" probably isnt' going to happen. People now can live to 110 yo! But down with 600-900 fill power will last 20-30 years. I LOVE marmot bags. You don't need the top end models. Get an entry level marmot and it'll cost you about $200. REI bags are a little cheaper and still...

    Tents

    They don't completely close up. They litterally are a cross between a tarp and a tent. They have mesh all around to keep bugs out and are rainproof but they aren't exactly tents. The advantage of such a setup is that they are MUCH lighter while still providing the protection of a tent. They are...

    Tents

    You don't put your bike in the tent with you. There are a few models of tents where you can put it under the rainfly (MSR and Hilleberg make ones) but most people don't go this way. BTW, where are you going?

    imtim83, I'm a backcountry guide. If you'd like suggestions on specific items that work well for me I'd be happy to provide them to you. But I can't just relay years of knowledge and experience in one thread. You'd be happy with this: MSR Zoid 1 or 1.5 a Thermarest Prolite 3 or 4 or...

    Tents

    Yes, no shade. With the rainfly on though. Rainflys are more UV resistant than tents (especially on new tents). Seriously, don't worry about this unless you're basecamping on Everest for three months. Then if you are, it's easy to just cover your tent with a tarp.

    Tents

    Honestly, You seem to know nothing about bike touring. I suggest finding a place with experts on the topic and asking questions there instead of asking a bunch of people in a computer forum. BTW, tents can and do degrade from UV radiation. For the vast majority of people this will never...

    Tents

    Well, it IS easier that carrying it on your back. I lean towards ultralight backpacking though. My pack only weighs 12 pounds and I use the Tarptent. I find it sufficient but also understand the benefits of a traditional double wall tent. Still though, remain weight concious. You don't want to...
