Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Think you'll find that 'grinding' is a generic term for some form of disco dancing. Perhaps.

grinding is a form of dancing where the man and woman are front to back and grind with the music

D G Orf, Just came across a rather strange offering in the wine shop today: a 2003 Chilean Cab Sav, under a Slovenian  label of all things. I know the flooding took out quite a few vineyards; is anyone else keeping the facilities busy with SA grapes or juice? (We can take this unraveled end over to Aprez).
Ski_Mistress, St. Alban's is on St. Alban's hill, north-west corner of the National Cathedral. Best place in DC for Handel and Christmas concerts. The girl's school has been there since before the cathedral, and you can see the grotesques of the workmen leering at the schoolgirls on the facade of the cathedral itself.

Ski_Mistress, for whatever reason, you seem to be trying extraordinarily hard to give the impression that you can hire anyone you want, to perform whatever service you want.
In case you haven't noticed, while such an intentionally haughty approach certainly can provide a spot of humor as we all await ski season in the N hemisphere, when considered seriously, such an approach never really sits well with most recipients (assuming you indeed are serious and not a troll).
It's the difference between saying to a waiter (after you just knocked over your water glass), "Clean this up and I'll give you a tip.", and, "Excuse me, waiter, I just had a bit of an accident. Could you help me clean it up?".
A newly-moneyed lout might utter the first version. I was sitting across from Hans Bethe (the old, Germanic Nobel prize winner who discovered how the sun works) who used the second approach after he knocked over his water glass in the restaurant of the Statler hotel in Ithaca, NY. If anyone had no need to be self-effacing, it was this distinguished gentleman.
Again, consider the two sentences of yours that I quoted above. A less imperious way to put the same thought might be:
"Since two other people in this thread are from the DC area, maybe I should see if they would give me a hand with proofreading".
In other words, a less arrogant, socially astute person would leave out the completely unnecessary mention of "hiring" (and implied remuneration), and allow the other person to make the decision about working with you.
I have known a fair number of 20-25 year olds (all single, male Libertarians) who, like you, once claimed that such an approach to dealing with others is simply "direct" and "efficient". FWIW, none of them got married until their theoretical view of the world was replaced by a bit of empathy, true social skills, and often a dash of self-deprecating humor.
Just my $0.02,
Tom / PM
PS - I guess that since I've been a bad little boy, there will be no free skiing for me, but that's OK since, as an instructor, I get free skiing anyway.

P.S just out of curiosity did the Italien American give the diamond back when you broke up ? |
If he were a real Italian, He would have given back the diamond, or better,

I do not know about other parts of the planet, but here, when an engagement is broken, all gifts must be returned, true but sadly a disappearing habit.
I once had a girlfriend whith soft skin, and I felt obliged to shave twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, since my beard was/is quite scratchy.
Do you, Ski_mistress have an idea of what shaving twice a day does to a man's facial skin (not to mention beard)?
And if your former boyfriend2 did love you for what you were, thus going over your unshaven legs (yuk!!!!), why weren't you doing the same with your former boyfriend1 goatee, after all you did love him, right?
And goatees are quite helpful in the mountains, I once wore/had for 6 years what is known as "four fingers" (Quattro dita) beard by the mountain troops here. Very, very helpful in cold weather...
Yes, I do kiss my relatives, regardless of gend..oh we're in Europe here, I can say sex! Even friends, if they're close (not phisically, ahr ahr) enough.
albeit this one too it's a disappearing habit (kissing male relatives and friends, not female ones). Usually it's being replaced with an handshake and a hug. Again, male-male ceek kiss it's highly ceremonial (funerals, weddings etc) not for the everyday life.
We tend to kiss only once, or twice, left-right.
I was always looked at strangely, when living in Southern France, because I was forgetting the third kiss on the ceek...And then once back in Italy, looked at strangely when not stopping at the second..tee hee.
Needless to say, I'm Italian-Italian, even if a Northerner...
But, even if I'm poor, I'm not interested in being hired.

Matteo, that wa why I asked about the ring, unfortunately in this everchanging world people are getting greedy

D G Orf, no we're bloomin not! Alot of them seem to think theyre "special" and therefore dont need to practise good manners - and as for being greedy - its "im something special syndrome" She's just trying to pass herself off as a ball - breaker- what self respecting woman would buy the guy a diamond?
Well IMHO if she needs to fly thousands of miles to ski with a random guy she's never met then she must have bad faults resulting in lack on friends.

7 pages of fun and D G Orf still isn't fixed up.
Missed some of the early stuff about Ski Mistress but the longer it goes on the more I'm inclined to the troll theory. Alternatively, that's DG Orf after an invigorating massage.

Isn't grinding in the ski world an extension of grinding in the engineering world e.g. angle grinding ? I thought it was to do with rails e.g. Tanner Hall was out grinding rails today for his new video.

Having just received some pics of ski mistress in the email, I can confirm that she is probably a real person, however she has requested that I don't post them anywhere so I won't.
As for a description I'd say that slim figure, dark hair, dark eyes and I suppose a coffee coloured skin would sum up the pictures

DG, so she really is ski-mistress and not ski-mythtress.

David@traxvax, yes I think that sums it up quite nicely, oh one other thing definately not a 60 year old troll, however 2 of the pics appear to be from 2001 (date stamped) so I have no idea if there have been any significant chages in weight, appearance etc since then
