I use a homeopathic silica tissue salt for "the temporary relief of pimples, boils, ulcers," etc. and find that it really works well for me. I tend to get very big, deep, hard sores and after a few...

I just have to chime in here having been a substitute teacher every day for two years (thank god it is over). I was sick at least one week out of every month if not more. I had kids come in with...

I did a little mt. biking in Whistler a few years back while driving through en route to Alaska. We parked at the base of the mt. and rode the trails just back from the parking lot. We only rode for...

I've had a mirena in for nearly 4 years and think it is great. I've never had kids but had it inserted in Australia where my doctor didn't seem concerned about that. It is soooo much better than the...

Any Aussie gals giggle at the title? Or am I the only one with a juvenile mind?:D :D :D :D :D

Deore disc brake hub, 32 hole with alpine 3 super-duper strong spokes (like those used on downhill bikes) with Alex 32 rim super-duper wide- it makes tires have a much wider profile- good for...

Yes! I cycled 400 kms in Mongolia 2 years ago. I raised money for MS Australia. It was absolutely the best trip I have ever done and I would go again in a heartbeat. I didn't want to leave. The...

Sheesh is right,

while it can get very cold in Fairbanks it usually is not too bad. The super cold comes in "snaps" and lasts only a short time. And there are plenty of homes with running water-...

Folks who live in Fairbanks love it- even in winter when it is -60. They have the northern lights to watch most nights and Chena hotsprings to soak in (natural hotsprings nearby). It does get very...

I live in Anchorage but travel to Fairbanks each week for work during the summer. I'd be happy to chat.

Hey Ladies,

anybody interested in coming up to Alaska for this? http://www.fireweed400.com/

Anybody already coming up for it? My husband and I are going to ride the 200 and would love company!

I had to vote 5-7 because the sun barely sets here (you know what I'm talking about CWR). But ask me again in 6 months and it would be in the 8-10 catagory (because my body hates waking up in the...

I have a great job that has me spending lots of time at Denali National Park. Yesterday I went for a mtn. bike ride with a co-worker into the park along the road (there is only one dirt road in). We...

I think that the comments about context are spot on. If we saw that same model in athletic gear or perfoming a sport, we would think that she was healthy or at least naturally thin.

I am not...

I've been Hobart when it was snowing in winter and heard tales of a snow on Christmas day (mid summer to us Northern Hemisphere folk) there.

I haven't noticed any flex where the xtracycle joins the surly. I'll have to ask dh if he thinks there is any, but I don't think there is.

Yes, those are Nitto road albatross bars (although they're called road, they take mt. bike shifters and levers), they are great, super comfy and I have a softride suspension stem which makes bumps no...

oh, I forgot to add that there was a 25 mile/hr. head wind!

I thought you might like to see the xtracycle in "load mode". I flew in last night from a work trip and my husband and dog picked me up and he peddled us home- probably around 5 miles and bags+dog+me...

oh yeah... did you know that surly is coming out with a long wheel base cargo bike and Kona is meant to as well- so that you don't need the xtracycle- but you may want it if you want variation in...

I can easily pedal my husband around, he weighs 155 lbs. We don't have a foot rest as such, but do have the attachment for carrying wide loads on one side. He has had a passenger who weighs closer to...

knot- buy the xtracycle, you won't regret it!:)

perhaps you're thinking of the great divide trail.

CWR- we need to go for another ride, Sunday? You'll have to ride the surly around the block to try her out. If you want to commute in the winter it is the way to go in Anchortown.
