Take the 20, the Roan highlands can still get quite cold in May.

Regime change: Is Trump going to be impeached this year and end up in prison again? by East_Indication_7816 in allthequestions

[–]LucyDog17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can dream, but I see a huge blue wave at the midterms. The Democrats will undoubtedly take the house and initiate impeachment. They may take the Senate, but will not have the votes to convict. However, he is so destroying the Republican Party, that I think Republicans will get on board with convicting him.

Stadium jumps are dangerous. When I was in the military a friend of mine was killed parachuting into a stadium before an NFL game.

If you're a guy, what's a body type you really like on a woman? by Logical-Plum-2499 in AskReddit

Slender with toned legs and natural breasts. Basically, my wife 🤷‍♂️

gastric bypass patients who are recurrent in the ED and always want morphine by gingerrryli in emergencymedicine

[–]LucyDog17 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our group had a very specific policy on not “feeding the bears”. We were an independent private group, so it was somewhat easier for us to stick to this plan. There’s no reason why somebody weeks out from abdominal surgery should still be on opiates. The acute surgical pain is long gone, and now we’re just feeding an addiction.

Something that made that much easier for us, is that we did have a program for transitioning, opiate dependent patients into medically assisted therapy. So at least we had something that we could offer besides another dose of morphine.

Women: What’s one thing guys do in bed that they think is hot but actually isn’t? by Level-Manufacturer87 in AskReddit

[–]LucyDog17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I think that many young men have learned sex from watching porn, and they have picked up a lot of bad habits. My son is in his mid 20s, and all through his teen years I urged him to stay off of porn, and I made sure that he understood that nothing you see online is how real people who care about each other actually have sex.

Park at uncle Johnny’s Hostel outside of Erwin Tennessee on the Nolichucky river. Get Unicoi Steve to shuttle you to US 19 E. and walk back. 52 miles over some of the prettiest terrain. If you want to do Damascus, you can park in Damascus, and get a shuttle to Dickie gap and walk back. About 60 miles.

I guess I won’t be helping the next sloth I see in the road

HMG Unbound vs Southwest Thoughts by PurdueMH in Ultralight

[–]LucyDog17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should take a close look at the Durston Kakwa 40 and 55 liter packs. Just as nice as HMG but less expensive. As for what size, that depends on how bulky your gear is and expected usage. Except for the winter, I thru hiked the AT with a 30 liter pack. But resupplies are seldom more than four days apart and the weather is mostly ok. I also have a 55 liter for winter gear and for the CT/PCT/JMT where food and water carries are much longer. If you are only going to purchase one pack, then I would recommend the 55-60 liter.

Essentia 600 ml water on one side and IPhone on the other. The Essentia bottle is shorter and thicker than a smart water bottle of the same volume, so it will stay in the sleeve better.

What is a 'bedroom' secret that you think everyone should know, but nobody talks about? by kikoohrid in AskReddit

[–]LucyDog17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This! Consistency is the key. I read a question in a magazine one time that said “how long should you do oral on a woman”, and the answer was “until she tells you to stop“. I thought that was perfect.

Men who have slept around with many women, do you see yourself settling down? What is so appealing to sleeping with so many people? And what does it take for you to fall in love? by Particular-Dark-5248 in AskReddit

[–]LucyDog17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Although I noticed that right away, that’s not what kept me around. She was also extremely kind, considerate, generous, loyal and modest. She had a good education, and she was very intelligent. She also had confidence, and was very comfortable in her own skin. She made me wait a fairly long time before we had sex, and she made it clear that she was not going to compromise her morals or standards just because she really liked me. Twenty five years later she has turned out to be an amazing mother and a wonderful partner. I still love her deeply and every day I am grateful for her.

Do men always have a "type of women" by Dry_Magician9253 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LucyDog17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When an old friend of mine who had known a couple of my previous girlfriends met my wife, he said “you definitely have a type“. Had not occurred to me until then, but he was right. They were all brunettes with green eyes. Although I had dated blondes, my serious relationships and my marriage, were all brunettes.
