I once lived in a remote cabin with no running water or electricity for almost three years.
Yes. We know. You lived in Alaska.

That is impressive though.
Does make me wonder... if there's no electricity... how do you know it was three years? That's a lot of hash marks on the wall.
Sarah Palin posts at USMB!
Awesome.
Okay, that pisses me off, Toro! I am NOT Sarah Palin, and like a lot of Alaskans I despise Sarah Palin!
You know how you can tell I'm not Sarah Palin? She wouldn't have felt bad at all about killing the moose. Instead of crying, she would have been giggling.
I think you should apologize to me, that was a low blow!

I don't think the idea of this thread is for people to post things they've done and then for other posters to belittle them for it or mock them for it.
And most adults can control theirs and aren't hyperbole addicts.
I think you need to go look up the definition of hyperbole. There was no hyperbole here.
Alaskans elected Sarah Palin as their governor. She then quit half way through her term because she got a better offer. She then went on to ruin John McCain's chances of getting elected president. To say that we despise her is not hyperbole. There's no exaggeration involved, Unkotare.
Oh, while you're at it...look up the definition of "despise." To dislike intensely. So...what's the big deal about that? (someone must be a Sarah Palin fan)

Actually Iceweasel was the one who took us down that path.
But you're right, the thread is about what you've done -- not what everybody else has done. And it's a worthy idea that shouldn't be spoilt.
I have traveled in at least 35 countries, many of them more than once. I've lived and worked in five different countries, plus the US. I've hitchhiked across the US at 19. I've been to Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Asia Minor and Europe. In 45 years I've lived in more than 45 different homes/houses, apartments. Something about a rolling stone.
Or a hooker.
I'm curious...what exactly did you teach the sheik's daughters?

The other poster was right, you are acting like a 12 year-old. Have you had extensive personal interaction with Governor Palin?
You need to read the rest of the comments, not just the ones that made it past your filter. It was an honest question given the mentality. There is no age requirement here that I know of. If it sounds like a 12 yo, it's very possible that it is.Asking for an apology is the behavior of a 12-year-old? Apparently you just don't understand what an insult it is to be compared to Sarah Palin. That's okay, but before you start insulting a fellow poster you should at least try to understand where they're coming from.
The last time I was in England was 2009, and I didn't see anyone walking along the motorways.I hitchhiked through the UK. It was great. On the main motorways, I didn't have to wait for more than five minutes. In fact, I was at a convenience station after being dropped off, buying some food, and some guy came up and asked if I wanted a ride anywhere.
That was 1990. I don't know if people still hitchhike today, but it was one of the highlights of my trip backpacking through Europe.

But I did notice that the farther north in England, the better the fish 'n' chips. Weird.
I have walked in the Lower Alps, the Lake District in England, along the Irish Sea in Ireland, in Cornwall along the sea, in the Cotswalds, in the country side along the Thames near London, hiked in Turkey, and gone jogging in the Black Forest. (In my 50s)
I've run a marathon. (in my late 30s)
I have hitch hiked from Portland, Oregon to Vancouver BC and down to Southern California, then from Southern California to NY and back to Portland, in one summer. One night I slept under a picnic table (it was raining lightly) in a cliff top meadow over looking the Pacific Ocean in Northern California. We shared the meadow with a small flock of sheep. (I was 19)
