  4. If you feel you NEED a credit card go shop for one. Yahoo has service in their financial section where you can look at rates and the other fine print. Find one that fits your needs. Respect the Dolphin

    24hrs since...

    A bar (or drinking for that matter) is a bad bad idea. I recommed waiting until it's been at least 4 or 5 days. If you're going to go anyway try to sit back at a table as opposed to the bar or outside if they have outside seating. Take it easy on the drinking. Find someone to make out with (helps with the oral fixation). Respect the Dolphin
  7. I'm sick of The Man keeping me down. Respect the Dolphin

    phobia

    I would have to say my biggest fear (strong aversion) is bees (or wasps or hornets or yellow jackets). Used to get stung constantly as a kid. That whole "if you don't bother them they won't bother you" saying is a bunch of BS. Respect the Dolphin

    Your Heritage?

    All German from what I can tell. In fact I'm related to the first know German American in the "new land" he was a religious freak that settled here in the 1600's in Lancaster, PA. 400 years later most of my family is still there. I definitely come from a Pennsylvania Dutch upbringing (no, I'm not Amish). Respect the Dolphin
  10. We may be talking about the same prof. Respect the Dolphin
  11. I agree. Only one right answer (unless you use the quadratic equation). Respect the Dolphin
  12. [i recently wrote on someone's essay that it was 'uniformed at stupid'. it was: there was *no* evidence of any research, just lots of racist assumptions, cliches and stereotypes... if you write something that looks like zero preparation went into it, the person grading is likely to think that reasoned comments are pointless.. ] I certainly hope you mentioned why it was "uniformed at stupid" on the paper. Granted the student probably did little prep without letting him know that writing anything was probably just a waste of ink. I was an engineering student so my exams and assignments weren't too subjective. I did have a humanities teacher that gave me a lousy grade because I took a point on an argumentative essay that was a little conservative for her. It was backed up with research though. She also gave me a great grade when I wrote something she did agree on. Respect the Dolphin

    work place humor

    I just got some Dilbert style pictures sent to me. Thought I would share them. I haven't seen these before but they've probably been floating around for a while. Respect the Dolphin
  14. The only reason I would be near the swoop pond if is I get too drunk and stumble in. Respect the Dolphin
  15. I'm there most weekends. Just look for the guy tracking beneath you or cutting you off during landing. That'll be me. j/k Respect the Dolphin
  16. Hey, there is a fun website with lots of boobies. Some nice, some not so nice. It is: www.ratemyrack.com Respect the Dolphin
  17. Kati, I think I recognize you from the meetings. Respect the Dolphin
  18. I agree HT. It's a simple logic statement. Premise 1: He skydives Premise 2: He skydives _______________________ Conclusion: He's poor, buy your own (or him) a jump ticket. Respect the Dolphin
  19. I'm just learning to make the budget work. I want to buy a house soon and I just got off of student status. It wouldn't be so bad if I already had gear. Respect the Dolphin
  20. I was a mechanical engineering student. My not so fun classes: Thermo analysis II, Advanced Stress Analysis, Reliability (althoug the most practical). Respect the Dolphin
  21. I haven't been jumping long but my whuffo friends no longer want to hear me talk about it. They are convinced it's a passing fancy with me. I no longer bore them with skydive talk because they don't care and can't understand. I find myself more and more telling them I can't hang out because I'm going to be at the dz for the weekend. I'm going to learn to balance the lifestyles. I can't give up my whuffo friends. When I moved to Florida I knew no one. The friends I have made here are priceless. Respect the Dolphin
  22. I let you in on a little secret. You never do learn how to factor in air resistance. Unless, perhaps you get into a specific discipline that deals with aerodynamics. So, I get to keep living in my perfect Newtonian world. Respect the Dolphin
  23. My Mother always said, you're known by the company you keep. Respect the Dolphin
  24. I recommend a lot of 12 or 16 ounce curls. Respect the Dolphin
  25. No, they are stalking you the long way around. Respect the Dolphin
