I didn't grow up or attend college in Colorado - or Ohio, I don't drink Coors, and I've never worked in a fish hatchery, so I'm sorry to say I don't fit the required AN criteria  :D

However, if there's cash to invest, please let me know as I'm sure I could come up with a few very interesting ways to spend it.

Also, I somehow missed Mark in a skirt (er - kilt).  I must have been on vacation that week.  Guess I'll have to check out that link since everyone said he has great legs  ;)

Yeah.  I wonder why researchers aren't tapping into this thread.  As Lori said, look what we figured out on our own.  Say, are there any researchers?  Or is this too big a business to pass up  >:( (David thinks cynically).  Wait a minute.  I just didn't think that.  I said it.  OK it's out in the open.  Maybe the cellphone and fish hatchery theories are red herrings (so to speak) to keep us from getting at the real cause.  Or maybe I've had too much coffee this morning.

And Nancy, I travelled a lot to Denver and Boulder on business back in the 80's.  It very definitely is beautiful.  Except of course for being stranded at Stapleton in the middle of a snow storm.

Jan, you just have to be difficult, don't you?   ;)

David and I are truly onto something here.. or perhaps I've had too much coffee this morning too...Hey... wait... you don't think it could be the coffee... do you?  Geez, I hope not.  I have already gladly given up the Coors since moving out of NJ and I don't think there's enough water in Nashville for fish to hatch...but I don't think I can give up the coffee...   :'(

If being stranded in Colorado during a snowstorm is a cause of AN's - I don't think they'd be considered rare!   :D

Denver got a new state of the art "all weather" airport about ten years ago.  People have been stranded there for days, but the BRONCOS manage to make it out when they have an away game!!!  Amazing how fast they can clear a runway!  Nancy

I was stranded by a snowstorm in Boston once.  Does that count  ???

And, Lori, not to be difficult again - because you know how I just HATE that role  ;) - but I'm not a coffee drinker and never have been.

Perhaps chocolate is the culprit - in which case I'm guilty as charged  :D

Anyone else was to 'fess up?

I am IN snowstorms all the time - does that count?  I drink WAY too much coffee - but didn't have enough this morning!  I don't, nor do I think, I have EVER had Coors (when I did start drinking beer, it was with Dave & he only drinks Mexican beer - except now we drink Landshark because it is associated w/Jimmy Buffett!!)  I did always fish when I was little (mainly I liked to dig the worms) in New Mexico, but that was for trout - does that count??  Oh yeah, I LOVE chocolate!!!   ::)

Jan, I'm beginning to think you didn't have an AN to begin with.

I think you were just so impressed with all of us on the forum that you wanted to be a part of it.  And we made fun of Steve for his BAHA-envy....   ::)

However, to make you happy, I'd be willing to eat A LOT of chocolate to prove that it doesn't cause AN's.  My gosh, I just give til it hurts....

Lori, I am literally laughing my head off as we speak  :D  You're not going to "out me" to my insurance company are you  ???  Because they paid one hell of a bill  :D

Actually I'm not Jan, I didn't have an AN, nor do I have a BAHA.  Remember when you were Cindy Crawford and I was Christie Brinkley?  Well one of us wasn't kidding and our fellow forumites may never know which one  ;) LOL

So, K, what is Dave's opinion of Land Shark?  I'm not a beer drinker, but I'll buy just about anything in the name of Jimmy.  Is it worth my money?

We like it - believe it or not, I like beer (I know that most girls don't) but I like it with salt & lime!!  We actually have been buying that instead of Corona lately...

Jan, you may have to pay me off to keep quiet!   ;)  I know how hard it must have been to put that fake scar on your head - and the BAHA snap.  The lengths some people will go to....

Oh, and Landshark is good.  Coming from a female beer lover....  It tastes like Corona to me.  And although I am generally opposed to fruit in my beer, it's good.  I prefer the darker stuff.  But, I don't think you'd like it at all, Jan, so save your money and send it to Kay and me instead.   ;D

And once again, we have successfully gone from a provocative question to chocolate and beer.  What would Phyl say about this?   :-[

We could just drink more beer  and then we wouldn't care what Phyl thinks...who knows, she would probably join us!!  How could anyone resist us???  ;D   ;D
