When I eat grits, it's for breakfast, and I just can't do spicy stuff like tabasco for breakfast. In fact, I never "pervert" any of my food with tabasco; I can't taste the food that way! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

P.S. Other "southern dictionary" terms: sensuous--as in "Sensuous up, could you grab me a Shiner?" y'antoo--means "would you like to?" ayt--"alright" fixing to--about to do something, as in "Are you ever going to 'chunk' that old pair of shoes?", the answer "I was fixing to do that right now." Try some Jeff Foxworthy, "You Might Be a Redneck" type stuff, or perhaps Bill Engvell. They are both hilarious, especially the Bill Engvell "Here's Your Sign" routine. You can find them both on Kazaa, I'm sure. They explain a lot about southern people and the way they talk and act. It's a little over the top, but still rings of truth! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

According to the Dictionary CHUNK has nothing to do with throwing something away. Might it come from the sound a trash can makes when you drop something heavy in it? Quite possible...and I wasn't defining from the dictionary. I was defining from what I grew up hearing and saying. Again, Texas born and bred--don't forget that southerners speak a different language, or at least a different dialect! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Yes, like melted Velveeta or nacho sauce... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Around here, we just SHITCAN it.

Don't forget... Biscuits and mustard...mmm hmm ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Or you can pour a little syrup on them for a sweet treat. Damn, I'm hungry again now! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Okay, well, I've lived in Texas all my life, but I definitely do not "chuck" anything in the trash. Chuck refers to a person's name, food (like ground beef), or vomiting. "Chunking" something in the trash is like taking a chunk of something and throwing it away... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Add to this that you can't see yourself sneeze because your eyes automatically close as a protection AND that if you hold in a sneeze, enough pressure can build up to crack a rib. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

and my all time fave blonde joke....... what do 747s and most blondes have in common? black boxes......... What's the difference between a blonde and a 747? Not everyone's been in a 747... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Well, personally, as an S&TA with a pair of balls, I don't care if it hurts someone's feelings or not if I have to talk to them. The bottom line is that they will listen, or I ground them until they fix their problem or attitude. But having that attitude is different also. I'm talking about someone who knows when they make a mistake and doesn't necessarily need somebody to beat them up about it. There is also a difference between qualified advice from an S&TA and someone who just feels that they know more than you. Most S&TA's, I feel, will NOT approach someone (unless they have a skygod attitude) in a way that would cause any issues with that person. Besides, a lot of the people giving advice may have a bad attitude, perhaps worse than the person receiving the advice! Just a personal thought. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

And I would agree if I sat there with a bull horn and yelled at him WHILE he was doing something...But if I waited for you to park the car, and then said don't cut people off. It should not be a danger, and in fact it IS dangerous to cut people off. Just cause you LIKE it, does not make it safer. What if I like to pull low? Or hook so that I have to dig it out? --------------------- I'm not saying that it's safe; what I am saying is that it could still piss someone off to give unsolicited advice. Safe? It depends on the individual. Perhaps they already know that they've done something that was wrong and they don't want to hear it again. Perhaps it's like pouring salt in an open wound. ----------------------------- I can see your first point, but then it comes as an issue of is the guy that does not want to listen have an ego that prevents him from taking advice? But I don't see how walking up to a guy after he has landed and telling him he is doing something wrong would INCREASE his risk. It's still BS. Ron An ego is a problem, I agree. But I would still have to come back to "it's not what you say, it's the way you say it". It's sort of like when you speak to a pet...you can quietly and calmly tell the dog that he's a terrible dog, you hate him, etc, and if you are nice about it, the dog is going to love you anyway. If you scream "I love you" or "you're a wonderful dog", the dog is not going to listen to what you're telling him and he's probably just going to run away from you. So, the point is that, if you're going to give unsolicited advice, make sure you do it in a welcome way, because that person, who is on the ground when you're telling them what they did wrong, is going to go back up in the air, and if they are angry or their concentration is broken, it is NOT BS that it can be a dangerous situation. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Hell, yes, it felt good! I only did 10 minutes, but I learned to do 360's AND to de-arch, and I learned how much it sucks if you happen to flip over!!! I worked with Rusty...he was really cool, and I would love to go back. Everyone at the DZ told me how much the learning curve improves in the tunnel, and now I'm a firm believer in that! Glad you enjoyed it! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

That IS BS. Everytime someone said I was doing something stupid...I at least LISTENED to them. Even if I didn't agree. He is saying that by bringing up to someone that they are doing something taht you don't agree with that you are INCREASING the risk... Thats BS. Okay, so maybe he didn't explain himself as well as he would like; I've had discussions with him on this before. What he's saying is NOT that he doesn't listen. Of course he listens; most people listen. And if someone's saying, well maybe this is the problem, why don't you try this? it's one thing. If someone is bitching and moaning in your ear constantly about "you're doing this wrong, and you're doing that wrong, and you're f-ing this up..." don't you see that it's annoying? I've only got 8 jumps, so I'm no expert, and I get offered a lot of advice. I listen, and I apply what I feel is good, positive advice, but when someone is nagging, even I will tune them out because nagging breaks concentration. When you aren't concentrating on the task at hand, whether it be skydiving, driving, or anything, you are MUCH more likely to screw up. For example, if I'm driving my car, and someone is nagging at me about "you should have your hands at 10 and 2" or "watch out, you shouldn't cut people off", etc...I am much less likely to be concentrating on the road and much more likely to have an accident because I'm distracted. Plus, these are things I already know, but perhaps I feel more comfortable with my hands at 9 and 3... Do you get what I'm saying? It's not that advice is bad or wrong; it's that sometimes it's given in a manner that no one wants to listen to and serves no purpose but to break concentration. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Alternate punch line: the air in her head makes her float! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

This is such bullshit. I can't believe you honestly think this way. So if I care about someone I should not tell him when he is doing something stupid because it will just add to the danger? Again BS. I don't think that's the point at all. But offering unsolicited advice should be handled carefully. When it is not requested, the person could take it the wrong way, and you could certainly say something that is going to piss them off enough to screw up their concentration. I don't believe advice is necessarily bad; I believe nagging or giving advice in a NEGATIVE manner is bad. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

When the blonde was asked why she was staring at a can of orange juice "It said 'concentrate'. --------- Two blondes were walking along in the woods, arguing over a set of tracks they were following. The first said "they're rabbit tracks", the second said "no way, they are definitely deer tracks". Before the first could respond, the train ran them over. --------- A brunette was skipping along beside the train tracks, chanting "21, 21, 21..." A blonde, curious as to why, began to follow the tracks behind her. A train came and ran her over. The brunette smiled and continued, "22, 22, 22..." ---------- Dirty joke--Why did the blonde have a "bruised" navel? She had a blonde boyfriend. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Thanks for bringing that up; I know there are plenty of people out there who get back in the air too early after injuries/illnesses! By the way, how did you like the tunnel? I went to Orlando after failing level 3 twice, and I learned SO much while I was there. Things have been mostly a piece of cake since I got back! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I heard about this show on the radio and wanted to watch, but I didn't know when it came on. The ad on the radio talked about some pretty disgusting habits this one guy had; don't remember them offhand, but I remember thinking, oh, god! I wonder if he's beyond help. The way you described it, it appears that there's hope for anyone. I'm just glad that my SO is much more self-aware than to let himself or his place get to that point! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

In the hot tub with 4 incredibly sexy guys/girls (depending upon your sexual preference)? that would be the last time youd ever have your pereference near you! can ou imagine the rumors....well the stories! Question--would the politically correct term for this be a "mud bath"? ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Disgusting! How about on the football field, at the bottom of a pile after a tackle? In the hot tub with 4 incredibly sexy guys/girls (depending upon your sexual preference)? ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

That's not what I heard! j/k, but seriously, if you'd ever BEEN a good boyfriend, you'd know exactly what I mean! You're not recommending yourself very highly to the ladies out there. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

What about having sex? That would really suck! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I don't live in McKinney, but my boyfriend does, and that's where I spend most of my time these days. He's very good to me...you know? ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Actually, I'll be on 75 in about 30 minutes, but going north, starting in Plano and only up to McKinney. It's not so bad; less than 1/2 an hour. If I had to go south, I'd just have to stop working! Especially if I had to pass the "high 5" construction mess... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
