When do I know when my board needs to be re-waxed?

I ride a Never Summer System. I've ridden it 1 season (just learned last year) about 10-15 times... It has never been waxed except for the factory wax.

This will be my 2nd season of riding... :-) I think i need to wax my board (i was told if you can't pick up any wax with your nails you have to re-wax)... I don't want to do it myself just yet...

My question is how much $ should it cost to wax my board if I take it to a shop?

Will they also tune the edges (is it necessary)?

Backround:

1. My wife and I are in the beginning of a divorce

2. The guy is an old ex-boyfriend from High school who is in a relationship.

3. I have met this guy before at bars with my wife and have talked with him, he isn't a suprise that she knows him

4. They have talked, emailed, and hung out while we were dating and married.

Here is the situation:

The weekend my wife told me her mind was made up and she wants a divorce, she goes out with a mutual girlfriend. They go out drinking.

I looked at the cell phone record and saw that she called him 3 times that night

2:08am, 2:12am, and 2:18am.

So I ask her about it, she says that she didn't talk to him. Then I tell her i saw the phone calls, she confesses she called him. Later I see an email from her to him, she writes "no, i told kristi (the girlfriend she was out with) nothing happened, but the truth will probably come out next time we talk". so i ask her and she finally says that they met and talked.

I think she didn't?

I am in the beginning of a divorce with my wife. It is not bitter and we still both care for each other as people.

I know that she is very lonely, frustrated, and sexually frustrated right now...

This sounds bad, but know that I care deeply for my wife still and am 100% willing to work on our marriage if she would ever give me the chance.

So knowing that, my question is:

How do you attempt to initiate "break up" sex with your wife while starting a divorce?

Here is the situation. My wife is going to file for divorce soon. We have been married almost 2 years (Dec 30,2007 is 2 years)..

She says that she doesn't want to even try to rebuild our marriage because she doesn't think she can ever be happy with our marriage. She still cares about me and wants to remain close friends.

We are here because of some lies by me last month about paying bills and also because of a small (4-5 times a month) drug problem of mine (i'm in full rehab now under my own choice)...

My question is

Do you think she is not wiling to try fix our marriage because she is in shock? everything happened all at once in a 2 month timeframe.

Do you think that with time (the day i proposed is Dec 24 and our anniversary is Dec 30) she will realize how important being in each other's lives is and become ready and willing to give me a chance to rebuild our marriage?

Need ideas on a best man wedding speech. I want to incorporate poker into this speech (using poker terms to compare to marriage, comparinge poker hands to the bride/grooms life, etc).

Any help is good. Looking for a life size poster of cars like ferarris, lamborghinis, etc or bikes like ducatis, yamaha r1, etc...

Please let me know any websites where i can find this stuff

I am 5'8" 135-140lbs male, I currently ride a Never Summer System Board 155cm... I just started this season but learned all of the basic techniques (slips, falling leaf, connecting turns) and also can do (carving, ollies, 180's). I mainly ride freeride, but would like to get into jumps, spins, downhill tricks, and riding rails/boxes next season..

question is, what do you think of the board I currently ride?

Just learning, I consider myself Intermediate as of now. Wondering if there are any riders in wisconsin out there?

I am from the north shore (bayside, whitefish bay, mequon) area of milwaukee?

When I hit a jump/kicker, should i push off of my back foot like doing an ollie or push off with both feet at the same time?

I started riding this last season. I took 3 lessons and proggressed much faster than my group... I learned toe/heel slips, falling leaf, traversing, and connecting turns... With self practice, I can now connect turns with ease and speed, stop suddenly at any time, and pull ollies and ride boxes (ride on boxes, haven't tried ollying onto a fun box)...

What is the next step? What are some techniques/tricks I should progress to next?

I would consider myself intermediate to advanced now as I ride blue circles to black diamonds...

Also, what is carving and how do you do it? Is it like a normal turn but digging your edge deeper and using that more to turn?

Oh yah, here is my setup

Never Summer System board 155cm

Salomon bindings

Ride Boots

I'm 5'8" and weigh 145lbs

Any suggestions how to ride down a run and pull up one end of your board so you are riding like a wheelie on a bike?

I also want to learn how to spin 360/180 with the board always contacting the ground (pull up one end to do a wheelie and spin on the end thats touching)?

any help/tips would be greatly appreciated

Wondering if a more flexible board makes it easier to do tricks down the hill like riding on one tip (like a wheelie on a snowboard) or stuff like popping ollies.

Also, would a shorter board make it easier to ride freestyle/park style? I mean doing jumps, spins, rails and boxes.

I currently ride a never summer system board. it's 155 and I am 5'8" and 145lbs. I will typically free ride (regular slopes, not alot of powder riding) but would like to get into more jumps, spins, rails, and things that add style instead of just carving down a run.

I'm a married man, at work, there are a couple girls my age (i'm 26) that seem very, very friendly with me... One of them is married but goes on long luches with me to the bars, and frequently brings up sexual topics....

This girl also jokingly agreed to doing me whenever if I buy her her dream car....

How would I find out if they are trying to flirt with me without coming out and making it sound like i'm trying to cheat with them?

What is the 0-60 and quarter mile times of a 2006 4runner 4x4 v6 and the v8 model?
