Suggestion:
Before you say "I do", send her on a girls only ski weekend with me, Severine, and Volklgirl.

Trust me!

(Scares you when I say "trust me", eh?)

Can I come?:smile:

Congrats DHS. Getting married is the best move that I have ever made. We have been married for 24 years and get along great. She is my favorite ski buddy, hiking partner, and friend. But you do need to have your own space as well. Good decision on the wedding plans. I could never understand why people spend exhorbant amounts of money on a wedding that is over in a few hours. We had a small gathering with family and friends that we catered ourselves and had a fun and inexpensive time. As far as I am concerned it was just as good as a big stuffy wedding. Good luck and congrats!

I don't like to rush into things...


I'm slow...
I was married once 1989-90...
Beowtch told me to come home half way through a Jackson Hole trip...
i looked outside - it was DUMPING... I asked her if she was serious... She said "yes"...
I told her I'd move my stuff out when I got home... I did...

Yeah, I def. don't blame you. And that situation wouldn't have even had to be about skiing/riding and it would have completely turned me off.

I guess the moral to that story is..

Don't let someone try to change who you are... You essence... You mojo... Some stuff is good to change to live with someone but that deep down stuff is what makes a person unique... Like skiing.. and mountains... and stuff...

I hear ya, I'm lucky to have Meredith. The only thing I change around her I do voluntarily and it's attempting to cut back on the cussin'... so probably not a bad thing.

The girl not only doesn't want me to stop any of my "risky" hobbies, but wants to learn to ski herself, which it pretty cool for a girl who has seriously bad Raynaud's disease.

Raynauds disease isn't the best condition for winter activity glad she can get past it....

I cut back on the ass scratching and i promise to wear a shirt to the post office now because of Lexie..

She's alright when she bundles up. Little trick of taping handwarmers to the wrists helps a lot too.

She's much better when she's physically active in the cold since the vasocontractive reaction is counteracted by pull for dialation from the cardiovascular work... so I think we'll be getting into some gentle touring stuff right off... maybe get some snow shoes for her. But she runs all winter along, mostly along the banks of the Charles. Which I tell her is crazy, but I don't really have much ground to stand on while calling out crazy...

My other ski partner Nate has it real bad too, but he can deal with it alright with big gloves and staying moving.

Woah, woah, woah.... wouldn't Raynaud's + cold weather sport = x?

In MOST cases thats certain . Two women i know of that USED to ski had to quit bcuz of it . There is short term temp relief (about 5 years) from certain types of cosmetic surgery . One of my best ski buddes wife - just went thru the process and is MUCH more comfortablre - She was both a downhiller and XC skier for years and is in GREAT Shape

You can get microvascular surgery as well.. which I don't think is considered cosmetic....

In any case, I should have said she's got Raynaud's syndrome and not the disease.
