  1. I think they still put it in there. I tried to kick my 2 bottle a day diet coke habit twice this year. Both times went several months without one, supplementing my caffiene need with white tea and coffee. Then for some reason I thought I could have just one, what would one little glass hurt..... So now as I sit here sipping on a diet coke I know you need a 12 step program to quit this stuff. Fly it like you stole it!
  2. There is no caffeine, although there are sulfites and tannins which people can be allergic too. I'm allergic to both, but have learned to take Allegra or Claritin for a few days before an event where there is going to be red wine and if I'm going to Napa Valley I'm like an athlete in training with the decongestants and anti-histamines. (I love red wine, it just doesn't love me) One thing I have learned from Napa is ask about the sulfites and tannins, you would be surprised about the differences in concentrations between types of red wines. Merlots and Shirazes one glass will kill me (not literally, more like I wish I was dead), but Cabernet Sauvignons and Pinot Noirs several glasses seem to be ok. Fly it like you stole it!

    Smoking

    My biggest complaint about smoking in cars is the people who toss their butts out the window. The last few years we have been at the highest level fire danger and all it takes is one little butt to destroy 1000s of acres and many homes. Fly it like you stole it!
  4. rebecca follow the link I posted. Fly it like you stole it!
  5. I'm just glad they show the bottle of cheep wine they were drinking. At least he can say he it was the boones farm that made him do it. Fly it like you stole it!

  7. My wingloading is not optimal for swooping, but for me it was a good choice for the excellent soft landings I was looking for. Hooknswoop jumped it at 1.7 and people thought he was landing a crossbraced canopy the way he was getting some increadible swoops out of it. So I think it depends on the person, as to what is optimal for them. Fly it like you stole it!
  8. You make that sounds like a bad thing. Being a small person at 1.3-1.4 on a 97 I can honestly say there is a huge difference in performance. On my 104 at 1.2-1.3 I can easily fly with bigger guys loading their canopies at 1.4-1.5 and stay right with them in strait flight, although if needed I can float better than them when getting back from a long spot. As for the landings well I'm not very aggressive so they blow me out of the water.. Fly it like you stole it!
  9. My Persian was peeing on the bathroom rugs, the hallway and behind the dining room table. I started with removing anything that remotely was the shape of a litter box, since I have a self-cleaning litter box I started dumping the tub ever other day so it didn't "smell" dirty and kept the doors to the bathrooms closed. Then I shampooed the carpet and used that pet odor remover where he had been messing. That helped quite a bit, only time he started not going in his litter box was when I forget to dump the tub for a couple of days. Now he doesn't go anywhere but his litter box since I got the new dog. Let's just say Sherpa has learned from Fox that if Mem is clawing anything but his scratching post he is fair game to chase (which is Sherpa's favorite game). So Mem scratches the carpet like he is trying to cover the pee spot with litter and Sherpa is after him. Like magic Mem stopped peeing on the carpet and only uses his litter box. Of course now the dog has learned that there are little snacks in the litter box if he hurries after the cat is done, cause he only has 10 minutes before they disappear. Fly it like you stole it!
  10. I'm starting back at goblet of fire when Harry started to be able to see what the dark lord was seeing/thinking. Plus, wanted to re-read that one before the movie came out. Fly it like you stole it!

    4%

    Last year 3%, this year 0%, but hey "we didn't take your bonus away, of course we have decided you will only get 50% of it." Unfortunately I'm trying to get everything together to start plans to buy a house, so finding a new job right now is not a good idea. Edit to add....this was not based on my performance this was company wide they were trying to save money. Performance wise I got 100% of my 50%. Fly it like you stole it!
  12. My poor Belgian puppy's head and about to spin around and pop off from all the pent up energy. Poor thing can't go outside until the sun goes down which means he hasn't been geeting a whole lot of playtime or training time in the last few weeks. Fly it like you stole it!
  13. Not on the ocean, but Napa Valley is beautiful in August. Lots of bed and breakfasts to stay at, plus wine tasting and great restaurants. Also, you can take a balloon ride over the vinyards, they launch out of Vintage 1870. Derek and I need to make another trip out there, probably in Aug or Sept. Depends if his Mom will lift the dog ban, since my senior dog isn't doing very well right now and I don't want to leave her home with a pet sitter. Fly it like you stole it!

    SUSHI

    If it's your first time I'd start with salmon and work your way from there. Personally I don't like white fish, but I've kind of found my nitch with Salmon, crab, and tuna for nigiri sushi. For rolls (maki sushi) any of those 3 plus eel. I try other things also but those are the old stand-bys. Oh and take it very easy on the wasabi, do not beleive your friends when they say you need a lot. Fly it like you stole it!
  15. Derek said that the one he saw was going to get a quail to eat. My first responce was how about eating something useful like a prairie rat (I mean dog). Fly it like you stole it!

    SUSHI

    I hate you now I'm going to have to have Sushi again today after having it Saturday night. My wallet is already feeling the pain. Fly it like you stole it!
  17. I think the best part is the fact that now I can re-read all the books again and and look for what hints were left that I didn't recognize the previous time around. Since I like the movies, I'm stoked that the 4th one will be out in November also.
  18. It's almost like that interpretation is too obvious, and from what I've been reading in these books is nothing is that simple. I'm thinking there has to be more to it, perhaps even something to do with the Horcruxes, ofcourse it could be as simple as neither shall survive the final battle. Fly it like you stole it!

    *** Geeze! Look at the BALLS on that PUPPY! He is nutered, that is the bottom half of his penis. (my puppy is hung) Fly it like you stole it!
  20. I'm pretty sure it's my mail lady, she lost a package once and since then has decided to quit delivering packages just leaving the little slips in every one's mailbox. Oh well Derek went and bought the book, so I'll give the other one to one of our friends little girls, or donate it if she has already got it. Fly it like you stole it!
  21. You and hook are going to have to go riding together now since he just got a new bike. Fly it like you stole it!
  22. I'm so pissed, the book was supposed to be delivered today, but Amazon sent it via the USPS who is not actually delivering the book just leaving a slip in your mailbox saying you have to pick it up at the post office. What is better is that on their webpage under track my package it says they sent it via UPS (which they didn't per the slip in my mailbox). Never mind just got off the phone with Amazon they are refunding me the price of the book. Fly it like you stole it!

    Mine is of my new 10 month old puppy Sherpa. Fly it like you stole it!
  24. I need to get cracking on that this week, or at least re-read the last one so I remember where the story left off... WOO HOO just 5 more days till it's in my grubby little hands. The dogs better learn to use the toilet quick cause I'm not stopping reading to let them out. Fly it like you stole it!
  25. It's still on re-runs, I know one weekend I got sucked into a marathon and was up till like 2 am watching it. I loved the episodes where you didn't know what kind of creature/bug/slime they would run in to. The last few seasons when it was just alien stuff was when I quit watching originally, it just got kind of old. Fly it like you stole it!
