    Just a friend of ours. He's 6'7". His runt of a fraternal twin brother is only 6'5'. He's referred to as the Spag-Yeti of the two as he's also slimmer.

    Tall people frighten me. DH is 6'2", I think he is a giant compared to all 5'2" of me. We used to have a customer at Lowe's that was 6'13". Yes that is how he said it because 7'1" sounded so awful to him. It made my neck hurt to talk to him when he came to my register but he was a really nice man and no he never played basketball.

    Reminds me of my niece, who at 6'2" was often asked if she played basketball or volleyball.

    And she'd inevitably reply "No, do you play miniature golf?".

    LOL!! I play miniature golf but not professionally. Clever niece you got there. People used to ask me if I was an albino because I am quite fair skinned, I could never think of anything that clever but usually just told them to STFU.

    Don't welcome me! Been there since the early 80s. Welcome Jobob. She's the slow one.

    We took them to Peterson Ridge in Sisters since its the easiest around. We're saving the Whoops for later.

    Oh Ama that's just excellent, may I borrow it?

    And for Mimi and all the rest of you curious types, here's how my leg looks this morning, four days later, in all it's black & purple and greenish glory (link only, to spare those who care not to know )

    Yes, feel free to use that any time.

    Good lord I have had those technicolor bruises. And I usually get them from something very mild. I am pretty bruised from falling over on a steep hill Sunday. No high speed, no glorious crash just fell over trying to dismount and walk up the hill. I have green bruise on my hand from getting annoyed that the remote wasn't working and somehow banging my hand with it. Oy!

    That's nasty looking. Are you sure you weren't in a fight?
