Jimmie and OBob... you're going great guns there!!
Isn't it good to have that incentive Bob? I too find I avoid lifts (elevators) like the plague nowadays!

How's Jack doing with Snowdon Jimmie? Has he planted his flag yet?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

jack will be sending smoke signals anyday day now. his flights have changed pace since losing his job so he is much slower now. i think at last look, he has 15 to go.

Obob - I want to tell you, I think you're doing great! You'll be into mountain-climbing gear in no time!!

Sally - I know how you feel.... It's taking forever to to get to the halfway point on Mt. Blanc. I'm on the peg at 727 flight up, trying to make it to halfway by Feb.

Can you pass me a water bottle, or are you too far away?

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I'm confused....


You keep giving out kudos, yet I'm only averaging about 20 flights per day. I used to be a right inner on a soccer team in my teens, and in college lived on the ninth floor of a dorm. I don't feel I deserve any credit. Until I start going twice that per day, hold off please.

Scuse me while I go run up some more for today...

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

susan, at one time, you told me that you had 500 and some to my 300 something and i tried like heck to catch up. i passed sal and got to the same amount as you plus 10 or 15. exact numbers i am not sure of. then you posted you had 727 and i am sitting at 590. i had done 223 one week and 191 the next and still you are way ahead of me.

but if you don't want kudo's right now, i'll oblige but only under protest.

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Hope you aren't offended, I just feel like kicking my own @$$ today...I'm not making any progress lately, and I sure don't want to go back to induction but if I don't start loosing again soon, that's where I'm headed. I want to be at 150 by April!!!!!!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

jack finished mount snowdon tonight!!! GOOD FOR HIM!!!

he had 9 flights to go and ended up putting some things in the basement which left him with 7. he traveled once upstairs to use the computer which left 6.
i laid 6 pennies at the bottom of the stairs because i knew he would going back down for something. he did and when he started back up i told him to take a penny and deposit it in the basket at the top of the stairs. he did and then i told him to finish the mountain, he only had 4 more to do and we were all waiting. he hmpfed a little but got it done.

good job, babe!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

I love this challenge! I'm in if it's open to anyone

I have rotten knees and this is just what I need to get them working! I actually laugh at myself when I go up the stairs because I creek and crack!

I have a 3 story house, so I go up and down stairs a number of times each day already, but, I avoid it at all cost most of the time. This will motivate me to just 'do it'!

I love the idea of the quarter at the bottom and bucket at the top.. I think I'll make the b/f dole out the $ for it, and make it my reward! haha he has to get involved in this somehow too

Think I'll visit Northern Ireland for my first trip! I think I do that many flights already, but, it will be interesting to see if I'm right! Maybe it'll end up being a trip to Irland and a quick visit to the Millennium Done in England - kill 2 birds with one stone on my first ever trip over seas!

Ya'll are so creative!! I love this site!

Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

ERIN!
we're all glad you joined in our flight challenge! those quarters are gonna add up! i had to switch to pennies. lol

this challenge stays open, 24/7 for anyone that wants to join. i'll get your name added to the list climbers and make sure you let us know when you finish a building or mountain. i keep totals for everyone and what we all accomplished in 2006 was fantastic! and we have one of the coolest looking set of awards (IMHO) than anything else on this board!

HAPPY CLIMBING!!!!
