You know i would never forget you!! You provided me with smirnoff ice last year...i've loved you ever since. BTW, i'll be arriving the evening of the 31st. No comment to this.

People, it's all over, as far as I know. There's the dead horse, now go beat it some more. Anyway, now that it's safely in the past, I can reply with my feelings about what has happened, AGAIN. I am able to sum it up quite well by a simple cut and paste of my reply to a post on news:rec.skydiving Here it is: "Lord Phoenix" wrote> > > They were not blanket proxies. You selected either "Yes" or "No" to the > three major topics and signed it. No trust necessary. > OK, i'm calling bullshit on this one. They, as ALL proxies are, are in essence, blanket proxies. All the proxie does, validly and legally, is represent a body at a meeting, to establish a quorum in this instance. Nothing else written on the proxy makes a damn bit of difference. The person named as proxy still votes their own way, regardless of what it says on the proxy. If the yes/no votes on a proxy were actually counted, it would no longer be a proxy, but instead be a mail ballot, which is prohibited in this instance (I think). Even if the yes/no WERE counted, it doesn't end there. After voting on these items, the voting could switch to members present, in person, instead of total. Those in person could choose to rescind the previous vote. Hell, they could have elected to bring a motion and vote to remove the entire BOD, and place themselves in charge, for life. Proxy voting, in most cases, can be a very bad thing. 3 years needed? If it takes the first year to figure out how things work, maybe you should actually attend a few meetings before sticking your neck out and running. Ya know, to figure out how things work before you actually have to do something. Earlier elections? Could go either way, and I think would make little to no difference in voter turnout. Election committee? Sure get rid of it. Too bad you bundled it with the RD petition requirement. The same ND that pushes for more people on the ballot in the RD races (so no-one gets elected with less than 50 votes) is the same one who said she believes that a true vote tally, showing everyone who got a vote in a RD race, write ins included, was a waste of HQ's time. So, which is it? Flooding the ballot is good, or a waste of time recording all those 1, 2, or 9 vote getters? Personally, I hate the fact that the BOD wasted a bunch of money again, on an issue the membership turned down once before (by not reaching a quorum). The issue is dead, for a second time now. Leave it alone. Now, about dropping the GM program.... It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

You heard wrong then. It's purple/pink/gray. Ahhh, I heard the purple and grey, but not the pink. It has pink, it's groovy (like my rig ) It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

groovy, huh? I heard it's not pink though. Debating bringing my new (to me, but actually quite old) camera suit. The jacket style wing is freakin huge, and the pants double as FF pants. Too bad I can't seem to keep my head pointed down. Or my feet, for that matter. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

Oh Jim, you're so fun!!

she must have caved in (I'm not saying she has a cave or anything, just that she, um, nevermind. Please don't hurt me Jessica) Anyway, you are on the board.

Finally! Whew! Thanks HH! I asked for this awhile ago, now please delete "iskydiveto" before that bastard takes over my computer again! It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1

How does it teach the teens responsibility to hold the parents responsible? Exactly my point! Bravo! It's not really the parents, it's the system! The same one that allows children to sue their parents for a spanking they feel they shouldn't have gotten, or should have gotten away with. To get this crap going back the right directions, we need more parents (like me, I guess) willing to step up to the plate, and step back in time, to raise their children properly, firmly, without fear of an opressive judicial system.

It sounds like you're saying that there should be a spot on the poll to vote for "blame the liberals." Actually, I am a liberal. Well, at least I consider myself one. The difference is I actually am raising my children. And guess what, I'm raising them as I was raised, and it's working. It's your life, live it!

Taking a step back a decade or 2 wouldn't hurt, in my opinion. I say if they step out of line, smack 'em silly. (It worked on me, why are the youth 20-30 years younger than me any different?) Sadly, I have news for you. It's not just these kids. It's now an extrememly overwhelming majority, backed by a large number of liberal childless adults. You know the ones, the ones that know how to raise children better than their parents, which is why they will never have children. Step one, spankings. Properly administered, further steps are not needed. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1
