I did a half in March. I was 829th out of 848. <_<Jesus, I just looked up the results for this race...I finished 152nd out of 169 males 35-39.I ran the Helvatia Half Marathon two summers ago.Though run is a bit of a stretch....more like a light jog. Also, I stopped midway in a port-a-let and smoked half a joint.

The flip side being if you wanted to keep touch with them, you would have. I guess convenience of having everyone in one place at one time but most people who move away and don't visit is because they don't feel the need to. Guilt is for courtrooms and suckers. If you're not stoked about going, don't go.

You ever find a reason to come this way, I'll take you out. Every little pub and bar is like that here...most bars /pubs per square foot in all of North America. We'll hit George Street.AWE SOME!Had trouble seeing them from our spot of grass....huge Newfoundland Flag waving around in front of us all night. Great fun had by all. These guys know how to put on a show. Glad we went!HOW THE HELL CAN YOU NOT KNOW GBS? I went to school with Alan Doyle, good friends with his younger sister. And Sean McCann is a distant cousin of hubbys. They are awesome. Best twist on Irish drinking music out there. :tadbiased:Hey Early, these guys are from Newfoundland!Going to see these guys tonight at the Oregon Zoo. Never heard of them before, but hey, it's free for zoo members, it's out on the lawn and they sell beer and wine. Beats sitting around doing nothing.

Where did you move from? From what I've seen so far, I could understand the similarities of Memphis as a smaller but somewhat more interesting (due to history) Houston.Another example of what I'm describing: there are several "society" type free monthly or weekly publications that come out here. Basically at any decent-sized fundraiser someone is taking pictures, and there are a variety of publications that just publish this stuff. We are not going to any more charitable events than we ever did, but somehow not only have we shown up on a million of these pictures already, but my friends or people at work notice this and mention it to me or even give me a copy.As far as I know, there is no such publication in Chicago. One of my friends here even commented that the photographers "know" who you are and want to get you in their pictures.
In Chicago, we were very small potatoes. Here it seems like that's just not acceptable and that being part of "society" is where it's at, even if you don't care about it. It's why we enjoyed our time last weekend with these crazy music, not-in-society-magazine types. Just seemed so much more normal!
Sweden...From what I've experienced so far, most of the south is the same way, no matter if it's Houston, Memphis, Dallas, Alabama or Atlanta... sure, the cities are very different, and if you really study people, sure they are a little different, but I see a lot of similarities.People are really "friendly", always willing to open their arms or their home to new-comers and strangers and there's a feeling of familiarity in the air. Also you have people striking up conversations at random over the supermarket vegetable bin or while waiting at a stop light. That's all well and good, but the openess is pretty shallow from my experience. While people get up in your business, doing just what you describe, almost meddling in acquaintances' business, they do so without really getting to know you, or even wanting to.
On the flipside, in cold weather climates, and I've lived in quite a few over the years, in the US and Europe, people tend to do the opposite.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is in a few words on a message board. You almost have to have experienced it.

Ooof. Sounds painful.I assume you were going for evacuating?The best pet I ever had was my cat Camille, whom I adopted when I graduated from law school. Unlike most cats, she knew her name and was incredibly loyal, to the point where I could stand anywhere in my house and call for her and she'd come running like I was Timmy stuck in a well. Her oddity, though, was that she loved to sit in your lap and purr like crazy while you were, ummmm, excavating your bowels. The first time I went out of town and had a friend stay with her, I neglected to mention this, and my friend experienced a huge shock when she sat down and Camille came running from the other side of the apartment to "cuddle" during this special time.

I hate using garlic in recipies. Its just so annoyingly frustrating having to peel of the first layer, crush it the flat of a knife, peel off the rest of the crap and then still dice it up. Plus... I think I put waayyyy too much in my steak marinade this morning. And despite washing my hands several times and showering since then, my hand still smells like garlic.

There's a couple of old remedies for this, that work, but which is going to be individual. For me, scrubbing my hands with coffee grinds (used) work well. Others have had success using lemon or lime. Basically, cut a lemon in half and squeeze out the juice using your fingers, rub juice and pulp thoroughly, rinse...

You're talking about RSVP and the like? You have to realize that because of your career/income you've fallen into a certain subset of memphis culture. Yes.. there is definitely the elitist old south that typically consists of superficial friendships based more on networking than "come hang at my house" connections. You don't have to settle for that though. Get out of your comfort zone. Spend some time in Midtown. Hit some dive bars. Also... you have to understand that you've only been here a short time. It's sorta like that feeling you get when you get out of a long term relationship where you really knew the person and were comfortable with them.... then you start dating someone and you realize how much you barely know this new person. It seems like such a monumental effort to even get close to the comfort level of where you were. Right now Chicago is your "ex" and Memphis is your "New flame". Familiarity and comfort comes with time.Another example of what I'm describing: there are several "society" type free monthly or weekly publications that come out here. Basically at any decent-sized fundraiser someone is taking pictures, and there are a variety of publications that just publish this stuff.

Don't feel bad about moving faster than everyone around you... I still do. Drives me nuts walking downtown where folks take a step every 2 seconds. I'm always weaving in and out of pedestrian (and vehicle) traffic to get where I'm going.

Get a mortar and pestle.edit: I also have an aluminum "blade" (can't think of what it's called, but it's about the size of an index card and rolled on one end for a type of handle). Instead of using your finger to wipe the garlic off the knife for the next chop, I used that to keep the garlic off my fingers if I have to chop or mince and can't use the m&p to just smash it.

I hate shopping. I really do. Despise it. So much so that I usually buy in "bulk". I find a pair of pants I like? I buy 3-4 pairs. That way I don't have to #### with it for a year or so. Well this has bitten me in the ### lately as I got a "short pair" of pants.
I tried them on....found the right size. Then grabbed 3 pair off the rack and headed to check out. I got home and the next day when I went to wear one of the pair, they were an inch shorter than the others. I'm lazy/busy so I never got around to exchanging them.
Some days I catch them when I put them on and swap. Some days the GF is slacking on laundry (or too busy) and I'm down to those pants. Others.. like today... i have an abundance to choose from but sadly, I was too spaced out this AM and didn't realize it. So.. today I am wearing short pants.
I think I'm going to swap at lunch and cut these up. I know if I "Set them aside" for goodwill or whatever, that they'll somehow find their way back into my closet and this scene will repeat itself all over again.

[icon], we spend most of our time in Midtown and in our share of dive bars. I just don't think it's as different as people here seem to think it is. Still has that feel that charvik described. Don't mean to imply I don't like Memphis, by the way. You know how much we praised it in the paper. 
It's just so different and I'm not sure I could ever feel at home. Maybe it will just take time to feel that "ex" level of comfort, as you said.

You might wish to look that up. Excavating can involve digging but can also mean "to hollow out" without any specified means. Typing on my phone or I'd give a link, but I'm sure you can find dictionary.com on your own.
