  1. Poor Michel. I'm thinking this may be the legacy he'll leave behind. The most fail attempts, with never getting off the ground. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  2. That's 2 more tequila shots for you, sir. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  3. I had a similar experience years ago, except the perp gave my work number and complete name for the purchases they were doing. Collection agency started calling me at work! After weeks of them hounding me the secretary knew their agency name and would hang up on them for me and not even page for me to come to the phone. One day that secretary wasn't at work and their call got through. I threatened a harassment lawsuit. They backed off. Next call that came in was from them and they were falling all overthemselves apologizing that the SS# listed didn't match the (my) name. Haven't heard from them since.

  4. Damn! That's some scary shit! Speaking of 'shit', your picture reminds me of a huge section of 'airline ice' that fell from the sky and punch a hole in our University gymnasium roof! http://articles.sfgate.com/2006-04-14/news/17290849_1_ice-chunk-bowling-ball Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  5. Truly awesome visual! Love how the "teams" all exited. World Class. Thanks for sharing! Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  6. I had a patient caught up in the initial stages of that incident. She arrived with hilarious stories of driving through and cows all around her car...Policemen trying to round them up and being ever so unsuccessful. Reminded me of Keystone cops! Thankfully she alerted us all to this before we left work this afternoon as this is exactly on my way home! The back-up it seems was from Redlands back into Riverside!

  7. *** Just set my iPhone up with the app "BD Remote" and it works great interfacing with the Sony DVD player. No more 'hunt and peck' with the Sony remote. I can use the iPhone keyboard to type. Much cleaner and faster! :^) Also, the YouTube small screen can be enlarged to regular size with a tap of a button. Some folks upload decent resolution video, others don't. Just spent a bit of time tonight playing around with some favorite programs people have uploaded. Quite a nice feature! Especially since my computer doesn't seem to like FLASH much anymore. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  8. Well, made a decision, finally. Picked up a Sony Blu-ray Player, Model BDP-S570. It has an internal WiFi connection. After trying to set it up with Sony's technical support, I finally went to Apple's Discussion Pages and found the answer. WiFi has to be manually set-up. Working great now!! Listening to Pandora through this connection, piped through my theatre system (external speakers). NICE! Registered with Amazon's Video-on Demand and look forward to figuring that out another day. Netflix may not be the way to go, I hear. Thanks for everyone's input!
  9. The Q and A is hilarious! Bwahahahaha! for example: "Q: Can the World's Larget Gummy bear be consumed as a suppository? A: Oh yikes. We hope not. Was this question useful to you? Yes | No" Q: Can I use this bear to make Vodka infused gummy bears like you can with regular gummy bears? A: We have not tried this with the World's Largest Gummy Bear. We're guessing that it would take longer than with regular gummy bears because it is so big and thick. If you try it, eat responsibly! Was this question useful to you? Yes | No Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  10. I went from 135 to 115 one year when under alot of stress. I struggled to gain it back and couldn't, even though my intake was substantial. A good friend brought me a jar of cashews (from Costco) and told me to eat it as a snack between meals. Put it by my computer, by the tv, etc . . . and snack every chance I got. This worked brilliantly and the healthy weight came back within a few months. Might work for you? Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  11. Yep, saw that set-up as well. Wasn't sure how slick it'd be, so didn't buy it. Thanks for letting me know your impression. Good thing there's a 30 day return policy, 'eh? Still undecided how I want to go about setting this thing up. I hear some are happy as clams with Netflix, and others not so much. The Samsung blue ray (internal WiFi) I was looking at supports both Netflix and Amazon as well. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  12. Hi Kemal, Take a look at this web page where many successful big-way formations have been created. The lines with only one end having a grip on another skydiver (and being open at the other end) are called 'wackers'. Hope this helps. http://www.bigways.com/ ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  13. I've rebuilt toilets (due to seals finally wearing out after decades of use here in my house). The only thing that seems to prepare them for the grave is water hard deposits finally getting the better of the flow of flush water tank/bowl, etc. Even then you can take a coat hanger and clear them decently. I'm with Don, remove the toilet from the floor and see if you can locate the bottle from the bottom. Of course, the easy way is to just remove and replace.

  14. Just went to their FAQ and found this: Mine is a 802.11b. (M7600LL/E) So, perhaps this isn't compatible? :^( Wirelessly, that is. And here I was getting all excited over the Roku. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  15. Hadn't thought of the PS3. Interesting. http://us.playstation.com/support/answer/index.htm?a_id=1896 Not really a 'gamer', but who knows... Ah, you remembered . . . Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  16. Good info. Thanks! Scratch Xbox. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  17. Hmmmm...So let's see, I may not be able to get HD anyway, so this may still be an option. We have a Wii at work (for our patients to use) and we have alot of fun using it. Just the Wii Sport, that is. Scroll down to the bottom left of this page and see if what I read is correct on the HD WiFi connection speed need: http://www.roku.com/roku-products Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  18. Interesting. No, I don't have any player that will work for setting this up (yet). Other than my computer with a direct connection. Thought the Wii would be a nice addition to my exercise program, though. Didn't know the resolution would be suspect. Thanks. Just read a bit on the Roku . . . My maximum internet connection is 3.0 MB. That would mean I'd have to downgrade to the SD version, right? Their internet site reports that in order to use their HD player you need at least a 5.0 MB connection. Correct? Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  19. Now the question there: Will this Samsung (inbuilt) receiver recognize my computer's Apple router signal? Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  20. Looking to start a Netfilx account, mainly for their streaming video. I know they don't have every title this way, so an occasional DVD might be needed every now and then as well. I already have 2 older DVD players that still work well. Here's the question (for the streaming bit). After doing a bit of research, it appears that there are many different ways to hook Netflix up to your tv for playing. (Not really interested in sitting at my computer (4:3 ratio) to watch a movie. Would rather have HD 16:9.) Also, my DSL modem is in my office, and the HD tv is in the livingroom. Wireless router (Apple) already installed and working fine. 108.llb) Apple OS 10.4.11 in a Power PC G4. Several ways to hook the ISP up wirelessly to the tv. Which method would *you* recommend? (see attachments of those I saw at Best Buy today). 1) Wireless Receiver (inbuilt) in a new Samsung Blueray DVD player 2a) Wireless Receiver (external--Apple) in a new DVD player 2b) Wireless Receiver (external--Samsung) in a new DVD player 3) Wireless Receiver (external) in a Wii Sport 4) Wireless Receiver (external) in a XBox360 **Not looking to spend a bundle. If I was, there is a brand new Panasonic Blue Ray DVD player that has an inbuilt wireless receiver and digital tuner for $2100. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  21. Just finished separating the outside watering system from the house supply. For this exact reason. When I go out of town I'll be able to shut off the inside water and still have a green lawn and happy plants.
  22. No raise the past 2 years. A nice little (and I mean little) thank-you gift, but no raise. Don't see any in the future either. Glad to still be working, though. Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  23. Do your research on a reputable sight like dpreview.com. I tried a Coolpix but really didn't like the quality. Returned it and bought a Canon Powershot SD780 IS. For a little point and shoot it's done really well for me. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  24. Rich, Heard through the grapevine that one of the Elsinore DC-3's is currently being restored. An individual purchased it but wants it flying. One of these from an old web site? : http://projectpi.skydiveworld.com/PI_DC3.htm edit: Ah, -this- DC-3! ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
  25. Think you could obtain permission to use any one of these Porter pics? Airliners.net Porter Pics ltdiver edit to add: This one's very nice!
