  1. I, for one, didn't choose skydiving. It chose me. The choice to keep a rig when you can't use it and can't even pay your bills is to what he is referring. And unless a DZO grabbed you off the street and made you skydive, you chose it.
  2. This year in the FL league at least - the only difference that I recall between Pro and Am was gate height. Speed Course is now the same length for the Ams.
  3. In lieu of all the xtra normal puppet movies recently, I came across this gem from the vendors at Summerfest. http://www.vimeo.com/13807740
  4. It's not working for him. But I guess it is working for all the women that don't find him attractive.
  5. When I was a resident, I barely left the hospital. If I didn't sleep with people I worked with I would have never gotten any
  6. You've obviously never gotten laid at work.
  7. Sure. However, I am fucking sexy, so the ladies love it. Ugly people do it at your own risk.
  8. ASC and the Farm are in GA, not MD Xkeys is a good place. Have not been up there in way too long. Need to go visit.
  9. Someone has been having fun with these.
  10. Brandon hugging you is creepy whether he is your doctor or not. I wondered why you jumped when I tickled your butt.
  11. Yup. Many skydivers have done it without, and hell, we're still here today. Will it benefit you? Without a doubt, as you will have an idea of how your body flies in the wind. Do you have to have it? Nope.
  12. So long as you only used Apple-approved maneuvers. ...which are 100% better than no maneuvers at all. However, there is an upside for egotists and the ego-geeks take full advantage of it; "Hey! Look at me! I can do repairs!" To which one would say, "Great! Here's your little pat on the head. Now go repair another one, eh? Have fun!" I think you just insulted every rigger out there.
  13. It made me absolutely giddy to see that boat get run over. Look on the hats of the Sea Shepherd people - "Get Ready to Ram" or something like that. I do believe Tallahassee said it best - "Nut up or shut up"
  14. Someone call the Whaaaaaaaaaambulance.
  15. Well, I am thinking about taking a weekend up to NYC to goof off with the lady. Gonna be up Sept 9-12. Looking for fun things to do. We'll probably see a Broadway show or something. I wanna find a good jazz club. Definitely gonna lose myself in B&H for a few hours. Any good decent hotel recommendations that aren't gonna break the bank? I don't mind being a subway ride into the city. I'll be coming into the city on Amtrak into Penn Station. Good restaurants? Hole in the wall night spots? Jazz Clubs? Daytime stuff - USS Intrepid, Central Park, Statue of Liberty, touristy stuff....?
  16. hmph. touche' I cannot tell you how many of my friends that are not in medicine love to give me shit over the fact that I have to do genital and rectal exams. Although, my gf and I have it backwards - I've grabbed more junk than she ever will. She's had her hands in more hoo-hah than I ever will.....but she's a Labor and Delivery nurse.
  17. Well - it depends. If it making you uncomfortable, then it falls into the creepy realm. We spend our days dealing with a vast range of people and personality types. We have to tailor our words and actions to each patient. I don't talk to a 45 year old banker the same way I talk to a 17 year old for a sports physical. I have had patients that I took over at my residency practice that expected me to pray with them at the end of the visit, because that is what the attending I was taking over for would do with them. Bottom line is this -- he honestly may not feel that he is doing anything wrong, based on his view of the world. From a professional standpoint, if it makes the patient uncomfortable then it is crossing the border into being unprofessional. I would speak to the physician at your next visit and let him know that the hugging does not make you comfortable. That should be the end of it. If he still tries to hug you, then that is creepy and should actually be considered reportable to the state medical board. Unwanted touching, especially when verbalized by a patient, if definitely crossing the line.
  18. While I have a slider on yes. However, I have had it pop and release my slider when I have my chest strap fully open, to a point that the slider rides back up the risers and makes rear riser use on landing less then ideal. I prefer my RDS now. /needs to put it back on now that it is repaired.
  19. EXCELLENT frontflip. 8.5 on style from POV alone. Will need outside video for further review.
  20. I find myself giving advice on diet and safe sex practices to teenagers in my office. Then, I feel old. I turn 30 in Nov. This is sad.
