I guess this is me tapping all my networks... Here's the flyer I've been putting up. I need to get rid of them but they are awesome and loving and I refuse to institutionalize them. Also, if someone's interested and can offer the right home or environment but they live too far away, I'll make the road trip to just about anywhere on the continent. All help, advice, volunteers appreciated.

I have lots of sit fly jumps, nothing new there, no sliding or losing heading awareness. 5th jump at the DZ. What am I going to do, not exit?? yeah, that sucked. No backsliding, but the DZO's son, 2 groups ahead of us, said the spot would be fine and we wouldn't need a go around. Could I see the DZ when I exited? That assumes I spotted for myself... Lesson learned. It got hazy and cloudy on climb to altitude, so I hadn't prepared for that. I am generally a conswrvative jumper and won't go up in sketchy visibility conditions. I appreciate what you're saying though. A convergence of conditions or new elements is definitely something I try to avoid.

That's a loooooong article to write, just to compensate for a small dick. This man had a very bad relationship with his mother and probably has a pretty bad one with his wife/SO, too. What's scary are the idiots who'll read this and try to take ANYTHING away from it.

Right, I guess I was asking if you've already made the primary "not-take-a-go-around-crappy-spot-but-you're-already-under-canopy" mistake. Sarcastro.

There were actually lots of outs. I spent until 1500 ft looking for other canopies or the airport but I had my peepers peeled for where I was headed at the same time, keeping my options open. Because I'm perfect.

I had a great experience last weekend. I was doing a two way sit fly out of a king air at a DZ I was visiting for the first time. The flaps weren't working so we had kind of high speed exits. Also it was a bit cloudy out, and a bit hazy, so there was some tweakage when it came to jump run. My friend and I were last out and the groups before us maybe could have taken a little less time on climb out, but no biggie. My friend had a number of jumps at this DZ, I only had four from the day before. Anyway, jump went well, but I looked down and couldn't see the DZ so we broke off at 5k and were both under canopy by 4. I looked all around and couldn't find the dz or any other canopies to follow down. I looked back and tried to hang out to let my friend get bellow me so she could lead me back. She hung out too, clearly following me. At 1500 feet I decided to figure out where I was going to land. I picked a field away from straight lines (I had been warned about lots of electric fences in the area), away from roads or power lines, without cows, trees or buildings. It was sort of a field/back yard of a church. I couldn't tell the wind direction from the trees or anything so I got ready to PLF. It may have been down wind but the winds were so slight we both landed fine right next to each other. Turns out we were 2 miles from the DZ, but we got a ride back. All told it was a really awesome and fun experience. I'm just curious if there's anything else we should have done for safety's sake.

I hate to sound like I have a life outside of computers, but...huh?

Here is the g-rated picture. NOW SHOW ME THE JUNK!!!

KIDDING! I would never enbiggen. Why change what's already perfect?

I know, as a non-meat eater, or veternarian, I find myself very confused by chickens. And different flavors of ice cream. And steering wheels and long words and how I should do my hair and whether I should get my breasts enbiggened.

Aren't mountain goats used to jumping from great heights? They probably don't even need to flare if the passenger keeps their feet up. Although nibbling on passengers' clothes could be a problem...

I gotta say this is one of the funnier and more ridiculous threads I've read. I am vegetarian, non-judgemental, I like to think. WHAT ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT?? We completely don't know the context of this picture. The goat could be the dude's bitch, the dude could be the goat's bitch, one could be the other's source of dinner or milk, or gift for the kids! Dude could be rescuing goatie from a slaughterhouse. Who knows? Who cares? Great pics!! I like the idea of TMG's. Goats are pretty calm and could probably talk down that terrified S/L student pretty well, I'd think. There must be some sort of glove a rigger could come up with to fit over the hoof that would allow them to grab hackeys and handles...

Are you talking about the right to marry more than one other, polygamy, or the practice of being involved with more than one partner, polyamory (www.polyamory.org), or the practice of casually screwing other people, swinging? They are all quite different and there are many, many arguments for and against all now and through history.

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE GET THIS PATCH FOR THEIR COMPUTERS JUST TO BE SAFE. THIS WORM IS NASTY!!

AT&T Wireless Serveices, one of our clients, is now having problems too. This sucks!!! Anyone else got it yet? The thing is, when you go to do the patch, the virus blocks you. I hate this a lot.

the fix tool ain't fixin it! suggestions anyone?

were you able to fix it? there is a fix tool on www.symantec.com now...

New news! The microsoft worm does take on many different characteristics and this is one of them. A heads up to everyone out there....

One of the features of this new computer that has replaced mine is that I cannot download from the microsoft website. I click on the download, nothing happens, I bemoan my lot in life, then remember I have food over my head and and a roof to sleep on. BUT NO PUTER~!!!!

Actually I did a Norton virus scan and found that, but it also said it got repaired. I definitely had that new worm but got it patched and it's not supposed to do any of the things that I mentioned are happening. whimper my computer is very sick.

Is anyone familiar with a virus or problem involving this message: "SVCHOST.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created." Myself and one of my coworkers in Texas (I'm in Virginia) started getting these yesterday afternoon. Shortly after starting up, Outlook can't send/receive and, although the internet connection still exists, many buttons on webpages or links just won't work. Also, Start menus won't open, etc. This really makes no sense and my techie (who's not the best I've ever known) can't figure it out. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

September WIRED Magazine has a cute lil article about the Skyray. That means it will probably hit this market pretty soon...

OK my turn. It's Friday. Let it come. Here it goes. Ahem. YIPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

Other ways we're like religious zealots: We tend to prostelytize--trying to get everyone we know to try it We are convinced it's the one true way to enlightenment We happily donate all our money to the cause We make yearly pilgrimages to boogies Hmm, anyone got any more?
