Admit it: you won’t ever be able to climax again without thinking of SkyDekker.

Every time a gun MOVES, background check. Dad died and left you his guns? Background check.

A good man. Maybe not the greatest president, but a good man who lived a good life.

Someone I worked with went to Uni with a Nigerian who qualified as a software engineer. Everyone else got jobs apparently, but this guy wasn’t even getting interviews. The guy changed his legal name to Bill Gates and was employed soon afterwards. Of course, I’m sure there is a novelty factor in being able to say Bill Gates is one of your software engineers, but the only thing that changed was his name.

You are hilarious. You've persistently pretended that we were a bunch of misguided idiots not worth your time but now that the bell tolls you have been posting prolifically, if angrily and obtusely, before your time here ends too. Good for you that now not a single one of we pathetic libtardians will be asking for your never to be provided "overwhelming evidence" for God or anything else. Enjoy the silence.

A handsome man in a suit approached a young woman at a bar and asked if he could buy her a drink. “Don’t you have a girlfriend?" she asked. "Guys like you always have girlfriends.” He looked downcast, "No, we broke up just over a month ago." "Oh I'm sorry to hear that," she said. “OK then, I'll have a white wine please." One glass of wine led to a second. A few drinks later after a kiss & a cuddle they headed off back to her place for some wild uninhibited sex. While he was getting dressed, she said, "So, you're good looking, a nice guy and amazing in bed. Can I ask why on earth you split with your girlfriend?" “My wife found out,” he answered.

I'll miss most of you. It's been good.

I’m busy trucking this week. Not much time for the last scheduled day here. I will also miss the back and forth and the interactions with some remarkable people. I hope to see some of you elsewhere. Perhaps in the real world. Ken

Hi John, I just sent a message to The Carter Center asking them to dis-invite Trump to any and all services for Pres. Carter. Jerry Baumchen The Carter Center | Waging Peace, Fighting Disease & Building Hope

Isn't there still time?

It’s been good thanks

I'd normally wait until after the year completes, but not possible this year, so: It is now certain that 2024 will be the hottest year ever recorded. https://www.npr.org/2024/12/24/nx-s1-5230783/2024-hottest-year-record-heat-climate-change-el-nino#:~:text=Hourly News-,2024 was the hottest year on record.,was even hotter than expected. Even hotter than predicted. We even had temperatures in the 50s (F) here in Chicago yesterday. Stay warm!

For the final update for this thread, figured I'd update it for this year - "There IS a problem with global warming - it ended in 1998 2010 2014 2015 2016 2023 2024!"

Refreshing suddenly feels like the wrong word .....

I'll never forget chatting with you at Eloy one year, Bill. I was there judging a competition -- can't recall if it was Nationals or Collegiates. Met Mark at a civilian demo my teammates were jumping, then met Andrea with him at Fitz. They were kind enough to put me up for a night another time when I was taking the LSAT at Stetson. Super awesome people. Robert (TheOnlySki) hooked me up with VPNs before they were easily available commercially for my times living abroad. Big thanks to David (Kasch) coming out to Turkey with his spirit of adventure. We did some great scuba diving and I gained some great ideas for where to take my family when they eventually came out as well. If not for COVID, I believe Kasch would have found a way also to explore Papua New Guinea during my last post. Though no longer jumping, I am still judging (and much more available for that since I retired from the Marine Corps), so competitors should keep an eye on the CF judge lists internationally, and both CF and FS/VFS (indoor and outdoor) judge lists within the US. I would love to continue connecting. Also, I plan to get my account going on Bluesky within the month. My profile name likely will be different, but I still connect my actual name to my accounts. Thanks everyone for the political (domestic and international) discourse and for giving me a way to stay even more connected to skydiving when I had to stop. Tanya Murnock

First POTUS in MANY years to bring decency to the White House. Something we may not see again for awhile. At least 4 years anyway.

The felon is also a convicted sexual assaulter, fraud, liar, cheat, insurrectionist, traitor, espionage? While ignorant Americans think these are the preferred qualities of a POTUS?????????????? The alternative reality of the white wingers has reared it's ugly head.

There have been worse - in my lifetime.
