Quote From: ritehere

This is the view west from the summit. I believe the body of water is Dillon Reservoir. Grub, I saw no ealges, only ravens. At the top I was above the ravens. I watched them riding the air currents on the way up, during my many breaks to overcome dizziness, but couln't get a good picture.

Dear Titehere, 

  

Congratulation on your climbing but most of all congratulation on your perseverance. It takes alot of courage to attack such a huge mountain.You must feel so hight with yourself for having done such an accouplishment. I can see now why your respond to the message board is so clear ,with such a clarity of what you can do it is no surprise that sky is limit for someone like you. I wish  you peace and serenity on ground now that you have left the summit. 

  

Have your heard from Lynne.I have not receive any news i hope she is doing well. 

  

Thanks again for the nice pictures 

  

Take care

 Thanks, but it wasn't clear that I would make it for awhile. Yes, I've heard from Lynn. She is hanging in there, and her husband too. E-mail her, I'll bet she'd love to hear from you.
Have you had your surgery? It's great to hear from you too.

Taemanai

Quote From: taemanai

When I read the lasted feed-back, it made me think, 

that everything is short and easily known, and yet on the mountain brink. 

  

To be otherwise, is to go against the flow, 

And it is health and lifestyle below. 

  

 looking over a small fence, is fear but here, 

just like the world has many an opportunity to have been seen looking from a fence,  

is a very faint line on a page of life,  

  

developing the inspiration to climb and go down  

comes from the experience of being a young one. 

  

I wrote this, just then,  to express my own looking down to the Blue-mountains (a look-out) when I was on a school-excursion, on a radiant day. 

  

( if this is sweet, I couldn't help it, I guess I look back too often to the bitter & sweet)

 I thought, at the heart of it, it sounded sad and wistful. Are you currently sitting on a fence, contemplating the other side? Go for it, you can always go back through by the gate.
Have you gotten very far on your ancestor search?

Let Party Ritehere

Quote From: ritehere

Hey gang! I made it! This is me recuperating at the top before the descent. Only made one one summit, this time. The altitude was difficult for me. On Mount Everest there is the "Kill Zone", for me it was the "Sick Zone." I really wanted a victory dance picture, but this will have to do.

The day was glorious! The universe smiled on me, it was the perfect weather, no thunderstorms came up to force a hasty retreat down the mountainside. I'm looking over Ruby Gulch here.

              

  

 

Got 6 pack of water , and lots of fruit & veggie lol . You made it - So happy & excited for You . I could feel the excitement and happiness in You . So Proud of You !!!!!!!!! Way to go !!!! Love the Photos , You keep going Strong !! Oh I am so excited for You . I am off to listen Gretchen Wilson C.D . Love her music - Send those photos in the morning . I am looking for the disk . Ton of those lol . Write you soon ~ Lynn

Ritehere, 

  

I am smiling big for you right now!!!  I am still on vacation, but we happened across a wireless connection so I thought I would send some affections and excitements of my own.  I finally got to surf on the ocean!  What a rush.  We have little sit on top kayaks that we surfed with and it was great fun!   

  

I am proud of your accomplishment here!  What a wonderful view.  No wonder they call it Ruby Gulch.   

  

More later!

Hi, 

  

Thanks for the news from Lynn she means alot to me some how i feel connecte to her so i am glad she hanging in there.As for myself i didn't have my surgery yet it is only in febuary the 2 nd. 

I am having lapband surgery to the stomach to help me loose some weight to help with my multiple sclerosis and it is going to give me a more normal life and maybe i can go for walk like others do. 

My life at the moment is wonderful with the new house we just bought with my twin sister we have wonderful plans to decorate and spent some times together so as you can see my top of the mountain is for febuary  2 . It is a dream come true for me to do this for myself , the surgery is not without danger but it is the best scenario to gain a little freedom . 

  

I am reading all your postings and everything everybody has to say about growing and finding authentic self and it helps me do deal with my everyday  crises with my illness and i stay positive and i look foward to the next morning and i thank God for taking care of me and giving me strenth 

  

Thank you all

You are a strong and caring individual, and I hope the very best for you. I will keep Feb. 2 in mind.
Thank you for your compliment on clarity. I strive to be as clear as I can. I love the "mood" and "emote" features on the new boards. It gives insight as to what the poster is feeling. Sometimes it's hard to figure out the frame of mind by just their words, and it can lead to misunderstandings.
I also think the spell check is great!
I hope your new house is full of sunshine and happiness.

Thanks Dr. Phil--you really help

Howdy Dr. Phil, 

  

I just wanted to say that you are really helping me and I am so glad I finally started REALLY LISTENING to what you are saying.  I have used all your shows and all your guests to figure things out about my behavior and misconduct.  It seemed like I could relate to all of your guests on all over your shows,,,in different ways.  I would use all the information you would share with each guest and digest it as if you were saying it to me.  Even this OCD show i can learn from. 

  

I just checked out your book Life Strategies at the library b/c I realize that I really can change my "patterns of behavior" to really improve myself and the lives around me.  I am a LONG WAY off,,,but the insight you have given me through your simple explanations,,,will and can change my life.  I think i was already on to your way of thinking, but i could never get my mind wrapped around it.   

  

Thank you for being on tv.   

  

I appreciate it. 

  

RG 

  

p.s.---what do you think about the fact that VIACOM is the #1 contributor to pornography?  Does Viacom still own CBS and how do you justify being apart of a company that exploits women and allows girls to be recruited to the porn industr???  (I am referring to the Diane Sawyer newscast I saw recently about Viacom and CBS). 

  

Thanks DR PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
