SBS, I think you're absolutely right in saying this. However, that one needs to advertise their better qualities does not mean that cockiness and confidence are exactly the same thing filtered by two people's different viewpoints. Steve A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Not sure I agree with you, Deuce. One can take a risk without being reckless, and one can take a risk through being reckless. Recklessness implies a lack of calculation or preparation when taking a risk. Example: there is an inherent risk in skydiving-we all take the same risk. However, there are some people who exacerbate that risk through, I don't know, downsizing too soon, hooking turns with low jump numbers, jumping while intoxicated, etc. These activities are reckless, whereas skydiving itself is not inherently so. Likewise with cockiness and confidence. One can be confident without being cocky (even in the eyes of someone with low self-esteem), but there is most definately a line to be drawn. In both cases you have categories and instances: recklessness is an instance of a bigger category of risk, cockiness is an instance of a bigger category of confidence.

I'll take a stab at it: at the end, does your lover find your head in a cardboard box?

Confident is feeling positive about yourself, cocky is feeling that you can do abslutely no wrong. This depends on your perspective. I could be described as being too humble, but I do not desire the lifestyle of the megabusiness leader or womanizer. I am satisfied (or at least try to be) with what I have. Other people might not be. I guess it's whether you're speaking in terms of ethics or rugged individualism. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Yeah, I'll bet that this was the thread that put the idea into skymama's head to post that terrifying photo! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All -

Perhaps, but anonymous posting is a sure-fire way to: A) remove any trace of credibility from your post B) not be taken seriously by other users any others people want to add? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Man, I get so curious when I see a response like this to a post that has already been deleted... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Hmm... $1,000,000... I guess I would do a lot more skydiving. What's that? You asked me what I would do FOR the money, not WITH the money? I know, I heard you!

One time I was registering at the hospital to get some tests done. The woman at the desk asked me a bunch of questions, one of which was, "What is your religion?" I responded, "Ali." She asked, "Is that a form of Islam?" I said, "No. Ali is my girlfriend. Her body is a temple, and that's where I choose to worship." A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Good point. Perhaps if the balloon is tethered twice, not including the chairlift. Therefore, regardless of the wind, the balloon can be held anywhere you want it as the top of an isosceles prism. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
-
Hmm... Interesting idea. But the chairlift could function like the newer high-speed quads rather than the T-Bar. Simply, when loading the chair, it is not on the cable, but rolling around above the cable very slowly. Once it gets to a certain point, it rolls down an incline, onto the cable, and a mechanism with wheels clamps the chair on. This could work the same way... If nothing else, it'd be a freaky ride up with no poles or anything! LOL A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

Well, if it makes you feel better, there is nothing but blue skies here, but I'm in training for some volunteer work I'm doing ALL FREAKING WEEKEND!! That was 6-10 on Friday, and 9-6 Saturday and today... Makes me very sad. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All

I'm waiting for two things: My rigger to look over a possible rig for me (my beer rig). My student loan (which has been approved) to be certified by the financial aid office. Both things were hand in hand! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
