  1. Plus now, if the new FLCPA rules are adopted by UPSA for nationals this year and the FAI sets them as the precedent for world stuff, all of the folks from wintery regions will HAVE to travel to get any training in over a pond. Bummer. I still don't know who is supporting these new proposed rules. I have heard nothing but opposition to them. Probably over my pay grade.
  2. Yeah. They called me at home. Bravo. [golfclap]
  3. longest 3 seconds of your life the first time you slam it in the back of an ambulance though
  4. I heard he was already arrested and charged with manslaughter.
  5. Since you are at the Farm - ChutingStar is well known enough that NO one should have a problem sending them gear for a rigging intermediary. I am not sure if they charge for escrow services like that.
  6. Like I told my loan agent - it is a pain in the ass, but I don't mind as a consumer that the banks are being way more careful with their lending requirements.
  7. I'm just starting that process myself ... I so DO NOT look forward to the certain impending frustration . O Hit snag #1 today - because of tighter lending requirements, I cannot get a conventional loan without having a paystub from the job I am going to be starting - in March. We're trying to close by middle of Feb. Annoying.
  8. My offer was accepted. Woot. Now for the fun stuff.
  9. Yeah dude, major suck. I just want this offer to process. We started by making an offer to the relocation company and they have been dragging their feet, so the seller got pissed and pulled out with them now re-submitting offers directly to the seller today. Hopefully know something by tomorrow...
  10. Video, or bullshit I believe her. I believe her too. I just want her to let me tape it.
  11. PM me the eBay link? nm, found it.
  12. Not, but I honestly don't see that as a problem. The property is immaculate, we've already poured over it as thoroughly as a home inspector, and my finances are in order and ready to go. I just want this house already, and not all of the headaches of bidding, looking, etc. I'm just whining, that's all.
  13. This brings something to light. No one appreciates a good defensive game anymore. If it's not a damned basketball score, people aren't happy.
  14. Then what WOULD you call it? Less than 100 yds total offense sure sounds like getting the shit beat out of you to me.
  15. Well, espn3.com redirects me to a WatchESPN site - says they will be streaming it at 750 tonight.
  16. Good point. Usually quite good advice. In this situation, in this jumper's hands, that was a non issue, and not a bad move. /you didn't use stupid. I was embellishing.
  17. Wanna do a nice thought experiment? Look at the jump numbers / experience of those saying that this jumper was stupid. Look at the jump numbers / experience of those people saying he did a good job. Then make your decision. I'll add another vote to doing a good job. If he did go collect his freebag with his feet (I didn't watch that far) then I can't agree that was a good idea. Riding it down? Hell yes.
  18. Sorry, Andy, but no. Santorum advocates the banning of all abortions, including ones done to save the mother, EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE HIS FAMILY DID. They won't even acknowledge it was an abortion. Its fucked up shit. I don't know his whole story on this, but I really dislike his position on abortion. And his religious view mixing with politics.
  19. I pray you never experience the loss of a child. And, I actually find this thread more disturbing than their actions. This.
  20. The mourning process is different for everyone, I do think most people would find this behavior very odd. Then I am certainly glad that you don't speak for most people. Political posturing and other bullshit that goes on in here aside - I disagree with his position from a medical standpoint. A stillborn 20wk fetus would not survive outside the womb, with our current limits of medical technology - so do I think calling it a "baby" is weird, sure. From an emotional standpoint, that was to be their child. It's not like they took it home, put it in a baseball hat and tried to play catch with it. I have sat and grieved with a families after being the one to deliver still born children. There is no way to describe the pain and grief that the parents to be suffer, unless you have been through it yourself. In a way, I would consider them fortunate as it may be somewhat "easier" to cope with the idea that the fetus was still non-viable. I have unfortunately been involved with delivering dead near-term infants, and I can honestly say it is something that I never want to do again. The emotional toll, even on me was just painful to deal with. Given that you list Pediatric Nursing as a profession, I am curious - what exactly do you have a problem with here? Have you not had to deal with enough grieving families that this truly seems that weird? I mean no personal offense, but political feelings aside, what exactly is your problem? /don't even like Santorum
