Ron - My hat's off to ya.

Common problem I believe. I, too, crack it after opening. Something I found that makes the Z-1 easier to open when wearing gloves is to use a bit of black tape to make a "lip" on the opening part of the helmet......that will help tremendously by pulling the tape upward while using the other hand to depress the "latch".

Same here.........sometimes I participate in them, sometimes I just read them and at others times I just ignore them. So, it makes no difference to me.

Excuse me while I pass out.

Sleep? What's that?

Thanks man. Yep, the ladies were pretty slick about it..........the pies tasted great!

Total of four jumps/two cases of beer/a pieing from hell 2 Hop-n-Pops 1 3-Way Hybrid 1 4-Way Hybrid - My 100th jump!

I understand that................as well. The school administrators were our first line of opposition before being heard by representation from the Board.

"Zero Tolerance" is the most idiotic concept to have ever crossed the so called educated mind. My son was caught on the receiving end of "ZT" wisdom, I fought it and won..................although my son still missed two days of school........much better than what was originally handed out. It's nothing more than a load of crap that the parents must go through as well. Sometimes I wonder how people without plain common sense survive. Premise upon which "ZT" was founded may have been a sincere one, but one that paved a way for stupidity.

......but, but......but isn't there two types of knowledge - Gnosis (intellectual knowledge) and Epinosis (experiencial, living, heart knowledge)?

Cool - If you ever need a shoulder, I'm here. When you're ever in the mood, I'll share my story...............it's an interesting ride. Hang tight.

Dude..........I'm running out to the DZ in a bit so I'll be rather brief and will get with you later this weekend. My life dramtically changed in 1996 when I was on the top of my game in everything...............it's been a long, hard road. Persevering/fighting and acceptance has a very thin line separating the two..........learning what's what is going to help you bro. My heart goes out to ya and I will get back with you. Hang tight because I haven't heart the fat lady sing.

Four computers............Norton's installed on all of them.........no problems.

Bwahahaha!!!

Extremely erotic - yes............it got me in trouble with the wife last evening..........she took me to another level, again.

Looks like all the food groups to me.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Now go and take some pics!

Way too violent for me.

Same here lol.

Spanking is a great way of saying "I love you".

My two most recent acquisitions came with the manufacturer's locks also..........yep, done voluntarily.

sdgregory - Same here as well....................wanted straight answers......didn't want to follow blindly. The more I read and studied the more I believed inspite of my skeptical nature. Faith does take an integral part.......a concept that some don't find worthy of their time or intellect. As you know, Thomas had a problem with faith. Having said the above, I don't participate in organized religion for various reasons......some "legit" some personal, but my faith is based soley between God and myself..............as is my salvation. As for the movie, looking forward to seeing it as does my wife. The reviews, so far, are mixed as it is for any movie. Bill - I study the King James Version, but believe that's the "best we have". Other English versions prior to the 1611 are excellent also. Unfortunately, the original manuscripts of the Bible have perished.....English translations are based upon "the most ancient copies made from the original manuscripts". There are quite a few but the three principle ones are the "The Codex Sinaiticus", "The Dodex Alexandrinus", and "the Codex Vaticanus". These copies later made up the ancient versions namely the Septuagint, Vulgate, etc. Bottom line, for me, is that one must study some of the more ancient versions to draw upon a more accurate understanding what is exactly being said in the scriptures. Granted, I'm limited to "NT Greek" as I had some formal training in the same exclusively for the purpose of my search for answers. I have found that the English language can be a bit limited to wit: the english word "love" has at least three entirely different meanings each of which puts a passage in the NT in an entirely different light........and "revelation" of the same. You have brought up some points that interest me concerning the English language, London etc., but I have to conclude, for me anyway, that the 1611 is pretty much the best we have relative to an English translation. It's the only English version I own...........I agree about the Zondervon thing.

Of course! I belong to PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals).
