Ben and Tony,

The next expedition, falling in line with my Fiji theme, should be to the WEST or EAST POLE(S). No one ever tries to go to them. We could be the first ever. ;) *hahahaha* I'll sign up for those.

Love the pics that you posted.

Considering that my family line is from the British Isles, I wonder if we have common genes. Because we sure share the same hair line. *hahaha* Although I'm a tad older and losing the hair faster. I also have a tad of the gray at the temples and in my beard (when I don't shave.)

You guys have a great one today,

DB

Secondly – I checked with a Romanian buddy of mine, and he says…

"indeed, we have in Romania something like that, but they have more romanian names: merdenele, pateuri; maybe is a very regional term of which i never heared"

http://www.culinar.ro/ might help you!

Glad to hear from you. Long time, no type *heh*

Can't, just once, Ben roller-ski across Fiji or Easter Island or something. ;) I'll team up for that *hahaha* You know, somewhere I don't have to worry about frost-biting my rear end just to,… well you get the picture LOL.

Thanks for the confidence though.

DB

That's one of the best 'humanity' stories I've heard in a while. Awesome :) Maybe you should add a section for humanity stories in he forum LOL.

Dude, I am so busted up today. I overworked myself yesterday. I included a new routine in with my sets. Then I checked for a message from you every half hour or so and did bicep/tricep reps in between. Without thinking about it I overdid my bicep/tricep routine. It HURTS to raise my arms LOL.

Over the last few months my abs and chest have moved from totally numb to a pins and needles sensation (the docs say that's good,… I'm not so sure, 'cause it's annoying as hell. LOL) So I'm beginning to add more ab/chest work in my workout. The docs still have me on a HIGH fat/carb/protien diet to try and aid in the myelin sheath repair in and on my spinal cord. It seems to be helping, but man has it added weight and a gut.

With reduced mobility it's very hard to get the cardio type of workout I need to burn excess calories. I've found an indoor pool close by and hope to start swimming soon. I found out this last summer, before I popped my ribs, that the ocean surf really relieved pressure and pain. Even when rolling me off the boogie board and throwing me around like a rag doll. I'm hoping the pool does the same.

Looking forward to an email from you. By the way, as you'll discover soon, I sent you another last night.

I've been thinking about this whole Nicaragua Trek. I think I'm more disabled than they're looking for. I don't know if I'll be physically mobile enough to be selected. The more I think about it the more I think the 'disabled' people they're looking for are amputees with prosthetics. The 'walking wounded', as it were. I can't walk without a heavy brace and a walker or crutches, and then not for near long enough for the distances needed for that trek. Although, I increase my distance weekly. Feet and yards are like kilometers and miles for me.

I'll continue to workout anyway. Whether or not I am selected I'll be stronger and ready for the next challenge down the road.

With that said, I'm considering a 'Trek' for the disabled in the summer of 2006. Maybe along the Appalachian Trail or out in Western America. Unlike the Nicaraguan Trek, I want wheelchair users to be able to do this.

Anyway, LOL, just thinking here.

Wigglin' hard Dude ;)
