  11. I have 2nd job for skydiving and extra spending money, bills, etc. If you can pull it off, I say go for it, life is short. Give it a try. If that is the only reason you work 2nd job is for.
  12. "This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognized it," said Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa Clara County. "Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited." It says she "recognized it" so I think she knew where it came from!
  13. Howdy. Acually, there are some articles that are educational here, as you may have read already. A good skydiving web site, for info and contacts.
  14. I read there's gonna be twoway CRW event? Anyone else? Even, tho I'm not current or good enough, I will get current in CRW this year!
  15. My taxes that I owe are due to working a PT job claiming 0-0 and still clearing ~500 month extra with my main day job. All that combined they still don't take enough out, so, I have to compensate that with these 'vouchers' to send in during the year. Tax man can figure it out. California is very large state and very nice to live at.
  16. If we all shared the 'same' religion. I think there would be more accountability held with our brothers and sisters.
  17. I owe in Ca. Workng two jobs. My Tax Agent gave me these vouchers to send in during the year, suppose to break even during the year. I guess people like me who work 2 jobs make too much money! haha I owe both this year. Feds and state, State is more. However, I'm also on payment plan with Fed. From experience years ago, the state will not work with you, and can garnish your wages without any written warning, they'll contact employer and take it all!

  21. Just wanted to keep this, somewhat related to category (General Skydiving) Maybe all can plan to get togther sometime in Ca. Or PM me, I'm gonna make a list from this post and keep in touch. I would like to do again what was done in Perris, years ago. Skydive Chicago sounds like a really good dropzone from what I have read and heard from here. I hope this post thread, does not drift away too much further from original intent! Gary Calhoun
