I knew it was too good to be true. Even promises you were gone forever. Whatever.

Yeah, thanks BigK. *rolleyes*
I'll wait to see what Pio says if you don't mind. If he doesn't want me here, I'll go.

Hey, want to celebrate!
I got my hoop tonight. It is beautiful.
I can pump and do the Wild West.
But, I can't do the booty bump, limbo, or slinky yet.
My daughter was REALLY impressed when she saw me hooping.

One more thing. Pio, this is your thread (or you seem to think it is). If I'm unwelcome just let me know and I'll disappear again. I don't view this as my thread even though I had the first post. It is a public forum. I will only go so far as to say that I am not interested in anything you post and you are now the second person on my "ignore filter" after booka. But I am not the only poster here. I could publicly state the reason I feel this way but that wouldn't benefit anyone. I also have to honor Todd's request. Sorry I can't be more clear. You can read into this what you wish.

I can pump and do the Wild West. Why is it I have this mental image of Shakira with a hoola hoop? I need a new life...

Yes, my very own custom made hoop. And it cost a far sight less than my custom made ice skates.

A custom made hoop? hmmm.... Is it not ROUND or something? Or is it custom made with composite graphite regular stiffness with a swing weight of...no...wait...that would be a golf club...so is it not round or something? To be honest, I thought scrapbooking was a scam. Custom made hoops? They must have seen you coming for miles <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yup....made of 3/4" 160 psi irrigation tubing. Covered in blue, green, and yellow electrical tape. 40 1/2" in diameter - proportional to my height. I could never hoop as a child. I am learning to do so now. Not only do I have my very own hoop but I am paying for these lessons. You talk about a workout!
Jen, you are still welcome in I'ville and in the aisle. We still love you.

160 psi is the tensile resistance. When you hoop, you are putting it in compression along with a component of axial strain. I'm not sure what the rating would be for hooping but I'm sure there is a way to calculate it. The problem with polymer compounds is that they can, to some extent, be designed to be stronger in one axis or stronger under one type of load when compared to another. Designer chemicals. The Gucci of irrigation. So now we can guess your height. TMI. Hoop lessons reminds me of WW taking "spinning" lessons. I am paying money so that my WW can learn to ride a stationary bike.

Cute concept. Being a Flash developer myself, it is a bit crudely coded. But it does give me an idea for a similar application for WS's. I'll have to give it more thought...

I will anxiously await your WS version Pio...I love "funnies" like that...<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Hey, but I don't wish to be in the prototype if it has anything to do with a Sasquatch! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Mrs. W <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Sasquatch....What a metaphor...In an instant I just replayed that entire National Geographic special in my mind. I remember the guy who had dedicated his entire life in search of the sasquatch. To be honest I thought at the time he was a fool. But you in your wisdom have humbled me and I now feel foolish for having had that thought. I guess it was a worthy endeavor after all. And now I am saddened.
