Then I'll let you in on the really good stuff.

Don't know.....taste O.K to me though.

If anyone is going to suffer some embarrassment, it may very well be me. Here are a few of my stories.........the mild ones at least. - As a sick boy (age anywhere from 6 to 8) with a really bad case of the flu or something similar - I prayed really hard asking God to help me feel better. When I opened my eyes, I saw figures of what I then perceived as angels......all dressed the same......purple robes. The apperitions "ms?" faded within a few seconds.......I began to feel better, much better and was out of bed within an hour playing as a young boy does. - At the age of 17, my uncle, my mother's brother, passed away with cancer in his 40's. My mother and my uncle shared an extremely close bond basically all of their lives.......they were extremely close to one another. Within a week, maybe less, I was awakened during the night as I was sleeping lightly anyway. My bedroom was across the hall from my parent's room. I don't know why, but I looked into my parents room and saw my uncle standing by the side of the bed looking at my mother sleep. - At the age of 17, working a construction job that summer, I experienced two things at the house we were building that were also witnessed by the rest of the crew. We were laying out "wall plates" for the 2 X 4 studs to be nailed onto to construct the 2nd floor exterior wall for the rear of the house. The rear of the house, where we were, was the equavilent "ms?" of three stories as the rear of the basement was completely dug out and concrete poured as a patio "floor". These "plates" were much longer than the average 2 X 4 used as studs. When I was placing one down at the edge of the floor, an end was falling off the house and stupidly I held on to the other end while standing on the edge. The swinging/falling 2 X 4 pulled my body off and away from the house with my feet actually having left the floor. Out of the "blue" it felt as if a pair of hands grabbed me on the back of the shirt and placed me back on the floor. The rest of the crew stood there speechless and in disbelief in what they just witnessed. - At that same house, after the framing was completed, drywalling was done.....the interior doors were hung.........I would walk toward these doors and they would open for me and close behind me........that happened several times that day. Not only was the crew speechless this time, they were spooked and so was I. - At the age of 17, I became a believer. - At the age of 24, I was a young soldier whose name came up on the "duty roster" to be on perimeter guard that night in the field. Things were quiet (very peaceful), the air was crisp and the stars out. It was a beautiful night/morning. Approximately at 2:00 a.m. 0200 hours or a little thereafter, I felt something looking at me from behind - a presence - I quickly, holding my M-16, swung around and dropped to one knee, there I saw - just a few feet away from me - a WWII era soldier, with his rifle, leaning on a tree smiling at me. Once I looked at the "soldier" I felt a peace like I have never experienced in my life. A few seconds later, he faded away. - I'm guessing I was at the age of 31 or 32, still as a soldier but as an NCO, I was returning "home" after a period of TDY "Temp Duty" out of State......approximately a 1000 miles away. My mode of travel chosen was POV "personally own vehicle" as the purpose of my travel was not that of a tactical nature.....for a change lol. I was anxious to see my wife and kids and decided to drive straight through stopping for only gas and coffee........I've done this before on a couple of other occasions with no problems. I had been driving all day and all that night......it was between 2:00 and 4:00 in the morning and I was having a difficult time staying awake. After having fought it long enough, I prayed asking God to help me stay awake, become more alert, stay safe and make it home. I then (well, I never really took my eyes off the road) saw a figure standing on the hood of my truck......this figure either resembled an angel or a beautiful young lady (from rear view), leaning to the front a bit looking down the highway as if leading me. I was then fully alert and continued seeing this figure for a few miles. The angel or "woman" was wearing a robe(s) purple and white....whatever the other article was and "she" had long hair, blowing in the wind.........I could see right through her as she was transparent......I was then fully awake and alert. There are many things that happen to people.......things that defy explanation.....things we may never know.

How right you are!

This nasty, sweaty woman, wearing a sleeveless sundress, walks into a bar. She raises her right arm, revealing a big hairy armpit as she points to all the people sitting at the bar and asks, "What man out there will buy a lady a drink?" The whole bar goes dead silent, as the patrons try to ignore her. At the end of the bar, a skinny little drunk slams his hand on the bar and says, "Bartender, I want to buy that ballerina a drink!" The bartender pours the drink and the woman chugs it down. After she's completed the drink, she turns again to the patrons and points around at all of them, again revealing her hairy armpit and saying, "What man out there will buy a lady a drink?" Once again, the little drunk slaps his hand down on the bar and says, "Bartender, I'd like to buy the ballerina another drink!" After serving the lady her second drink, the bartender approaches the little drunk and states, "It's your business if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you call her a ballerina?" The drunk replies, "Sir, in my eyes, any woman who can lift her leg up that high has got to be a ballerina!"

Actually I've read from a couple of different sources, a while back, that the number 13 is a good luck number.

I jumped.

Projection is a powerful defense mechanism, IMO........just an impression I get from a post of two of yours.

What's wrong with you people? Guns cause crime, which is why there are so many mass slayings at gun shows.

Honestly I'm not sure. It certainly shouldn't have done so and if any jumps were recorded after that it's not likely it was in manual mode (although I'd check to be safe). Have you tried sending an email to alti-2? They may have some ideas on what could have caused it. Let us know how it goes. Blues, Ian Alrighty.........didn't give it much thought until this thread. I'll see what they have to say........should be interesting. Robert

I was wondering as my Neptune did not record one of two H & P's I made Saturday. I've never had that happen before...............I just changed the battery before going up.........hmmmmmmmmmm......would that have put it in manual mode? Other than the above, I've never a problem with the Neptune.

Ref: H&P's and logging issues................Neptune not logging the "entire" jump?

I "sit" in my leg straps............if I didn't, I would be singing high notes.

That's awesome! Any pics?

"Go-arounds"

Lot of servicemen want to go "home".

Yep and the constant ringing can drive you nuts also.

I'm sorry for your loss, Keith. I'm the same way.......the older I become.....can't explain it. I think we change........I think it takes us closer to our own mortality.

"HiJack This" works well........a download found via following link: www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Sure - at least have the decency to do so.

Thanks - I had a tremendous problem with it over there.

You used one of my comments - can I make myself any clearer?

Don't like it - tuff.........I'm entitled to express my opinion as well. Next time you want to use comments: call'em out on the carpet.

Critical? Look in the mirror.
