I don't see a beer can from your SCR ceremony! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gearless_chris 1 #54 January 23, 2009 That's because I don't have a SCR . I didn't send in for my Eagle and Falcon awards in time either. I didn't know they were going to drop them. I did earn a silver funnel fish for taking out a 6 way. Bubba and Mike said they don't give out silvers for something small like a 6 way, but I did it in such a spectacular fashion I really earned it.

Gene03 0 #55 January 23, 2009 Quote I was just wanting opinions people!! lol I"m going to continue to wear the couch freaks band because it is awsome there fore I am awsome Stop the hating, I wouldn't ask for opinions if i didnt want them No hatred here or from the other posters as far as I can tell. This is a fun thread and as far as bashing Skittles... You asked for opinions and sure as hell you got them. Not that skydivers are an opinionated crowd or anything like that. “The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

skittles_of_SDC 0 #56 January 23, 2009 Quote You already admitted you wore the hospital bracelet for sympathy. That puts you in the "Attention Whore" category! It's quite obvious I am an attention whore.The circumstances were different here though. The reason I wanted the counselor to feel bad for me is because my GPA was so low I was afraid they may not have let me register in which case I would have no health insurance and would have to pay everything out of pocket. Ps that's the only time I left the house while wearing it. So it's not all about the attention. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skittles_of_SDC 0 #57 January 23, 2009 QuoteQuoteI have a tendency to need something on my wrist. Watch, rubberband, wristband, something. Why? Don't know. I just kinda do. I've worn a watch pretty much every day all day except when I'm sleeping since I was in the 7th grade and I actually don't feel right if I don't feel something on my wrist. I guess it's just a habit thing. When I was working I actually went home on lunch once when I forgot my watch just to get it. Same goes for my phone I don't feel right if I can't feel my phone in my pocket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 35 #60 January 23, 2009 I used to always have a watch on my wrist. I was a runner. It wasn't until pagers with keyboards started coming out, plus a new watch my wife gave me that I didn't like (didn't feel right on my wrist), that I quit wearing anything on my wrists. If I needed the time, all I needed was to whip out the pager and check it. 8 years so far.

shropshire 0 #61 January 23, 2009 Funny it's the same with me... I hate having anything on my wrist now because I work in IT and a watch would keep bashing my PC. (.)Y(.)
