Well...that's a theory. I don't think you'd need to be a monkey to live primitively and need additional bodily functions to survive.

Just because it's not apparent that it serves a very useful purpose now doesn't mean that it didn't in the past. I've heard that it might have served in the development of immune systems of babies in the uterus (like tonsils) before their true immune systems take over. I'm no expert. It's just what I've heard. Still don't understand why it doesn't go away in adulthood, though. I have to have mine taken out in 92.

Should have been "multiple answers allowed." It's fun and it keeps balance in nature. It's called the food chain. We're part of it.

I was only kidding. Our snipers (Army Special Forces) are better than their snipers.

I’m not uncomfortable with the way she’s signing her notes. Rhino is. I would be, however, if it was my wife we were talking about. THAT…would piss Rhino off a whole lot more than the guy he’s already angry with. Marines make good snipers. I make it a habit to not piss off snipers. I sure hope not. I can only handle one woman at a time. You women are way too complicated to have to deal with more than one at a time.

Marriage has been around for thousands and thousands of years. Pretty long time to be erased in 50-100. That's just my opinion, though.
-
You're right. It would depend on individual circumstances. Generally speaking, however, things of that nature aren't very healthy for a marriage. It may in fact be completely innocent. I don't know. People can not realize that they're tredding on dangerous ground until it's too late, though.

Well...I can't speak for all but I've been married for 10 years (happily) and I have three children (8, 6, and 3). I've been through my share of fights, disagreements, and hard times. I wouldn't describe myself as sheltered and nobody I'm friends with would either. I'm just one case but proof positive that what I'm saying might make a bit of sense.

Even aside from the religious meaning, like you said, it has a contractual meaning. When you enter into a business deal with someone, do you prefer something in writing (e.g. contract)? I do. It makes the whole deal a bit more serious and there are consequences for not following through. I'm sure you are very committed and I'm not trying to discount anything with your relationship. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who aren't married and are more committed than others who are. I dare say that in most cases, however, marriage does in fact strengthen that relationship and add a bit more cement to it.

Who said to stop being friends with that person? I'm just saying that, when you get married, things should change a bit in the way that you associate with others. Even with boyfriends, girlfriends, or life-long friends. You're not as free to express yourself the way you used to. You're now committed to one person in that way. It's your choice. (well, not yours right now....you know what I mean. )

Marriage makes things a bit more serious (or at least, it should) than boyfriend/girlfriend. I also don't want to seem chauvinistic. If the roles were reversed, I'd expect the same standard. I trust my wife wholeheartedly and she trusts me. It still wouldn't be a good idea for me to hang out with my old girlfriends on a regular basis (even if I thought it was all completely innocent). I'm committed to my wife but I still try and keep myself out of compromising situations. It's just not a good idea once you’re married.
-
Or how about sit down with her, tell her that this thing (however simple and innocent it may seem to her) bothers you, and ask her not to do it. If she loves and respects him, she'll listen and come to some compromise. That's what marriage is all about.

True...true...

You're right. I'm only saying that if you play with fire, you might get burned. If marriage was taken more seriously these days, there probably wouldn't be such a high rate of divorce. I've seen plenty "innocent" relationships between people get out of hand and the marriage suffers. Nightingale is also right in that there must be trust. However, people are flawed (even your best friend, wife, or husband) and they'll let you down in some way at some point in time. The best option, IMO, is to play it conservative and not put yourself in compromising situations (even if it's something as simple as signing "love you" to the end of an e-mail. Just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth. Or don't.
-
Nope. That's not cool at all. Even if she's just doing it in a friendly manner. One thing usually leads to another (no matter how strong you think you are) and actions like hers, however innocent the intent may in fact be (right now), are dangerous when it comes to relationships. The focus should be on you and not some other guy (even if she has known him her whole life). Good luck and keep your guard up. By the way, that would be true for you or me also. It's not a double standard thing.

I think that is an excellent choice! Good for you... Good for us...

Do Freefliers Burn Through Line-sets Faster Than Formation Fliers?
pajarito replied to Kramer's topic in Gear and Rigging
Faster deployment speed = more stress on lines How can you say that putting more stress on the lines during opening won't be a factor in decreasing lineset life? I don't think it would make much difference as in his example (i.e. 135 vs 115-120) but it's still a factor. I agree that care of equipment is the major concern. -

Oh...I agree that jump numbers don't necessarily = all around experience but chuck mentioned that the person/s were Golden Knights. I would think they'd be doing some belly flying there and a lot of it. I know what you're saying, though. It still surprises me.

Correct! The customer shouldn't have to pay a damn thing to fix their mistake. Like I said in the other thread, I bought a new Mirage G-4 at the WFFC, it's got the wrong configuration, and I'll have to get it fixed. I don't even have parachutes in it yet. It's barely out of the bag. I just paid a wad of money for something that I've not used yet and will already have to fix. I was told in the other thread that it would be a cheap fix since I don't have anything in it yet but that's beside the point. Bad business to make your customers pay for your design flaw IMO. I don't care if it only cost me a quarter. Yes...yes...I know I'm a cheap bastard.
-
Pisses me off! I just bought a brand new Mirage G-4 last summer at the WFFC. However, I still don't even have any parachutes in it yet. Barely out of the bag. It's got the wrong configuration and I'm going to have to pay more to get what I just bought right? That's assed up IMO.
-
It's surprising to me that one could have that many jumps and that kind of experience and not have the confidence needed to fly a rucksack, O2, and weapon. I know it happens but it still surprises me. Several thousand jumps is a lot. Mind over matter...baby!

It was given to us.
