  1. look at the bright side. at least you are making your payments on your negative $40k equity house. part of my job is to knock on the doors of those who are not, and politely ask them to get the F out. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  2. by the way, i have 2 manic depression brothers, and multiple sisters that suffer from depression too. fight it..... and it ... will... not.... win. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  3. quit your bitching! i have several properties, upside down by hundreds of thousands. but life is long, yes, it is. unless a bus hits your or your reserve fails. real estate always goes up, unless its next to a nuclear plant. speaking of which, why dont you fly to Japan, and help out some people that are really hurting. listen to the song "everybody hurts" by REM. ok, rant over. i get depressed too in the winter. but like another poster said, go for a walk, hike, run. i hike with my dogs every other day in the mountains, rain, snow, or shine. oh, and my dogs have brought me every great girl i have loved.
  4. Actually no, the guy was a top farm hand, worked with farm machineary all day. It was one of those things that we know we should'nt do but we still do them. As I said he was in the bucket over reaching and it was the weight of the saw after it had gone through the branch that caught him out. His suffering taught me a very important lesson. Never over reach with a chainsaw. As someone who has been doing tree work for the last two weekends and is scheduled to grapple with two big oaks this coming weekend I am reading this thread very carefully. I think I’ll carry squirrels photo ( and Amazons from a few years ago) in my pocket. Of course if the chainsaw don’t getcha, the fall will. A guy that was my supervisor years ago was trimming trees around his house one weekend, fell from the ladder, struck his head and died. He left a wife and two small children. All just to trim a tree. Sometimes I think skydiving is the safest thing I do on weekends. . and i did that with a little 12" electric saw. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  5. yeah, something else to watch besides all the retarded basket ball games. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  6. In my career that has always been a "benefit" of working for large corporations. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  7. A mate of mine was in the bucket of the tractor, high as it would go. He was reaching up taking a branch off an old oak. Branch came down, saw came down, half his leg came down as well. Talking about it later he said when the saw hit his leg he did'nt feel a thing. I'll just take his word for it, I've had a few close calls, now I treat them with respect. (cringe!) first thing i did was move my fingers, ok, no muscles cut, check, pain was moderate, did not hit the nerve, check, blood oozing, not squirting, no arteries, check. right, now, scream for wife to get the car that head to the ER...where I waited two hours...should have taken a pain killer as I headed out. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  8. i really liked my little electric one to trim my trees, until it did this to my arm... (not to worry, all healed up
  9. nice! my 93 Yamaha VMax and 83 Yamaha XT 550 (which I actually like more.)
  10. thank you. but when you move "merchandise" on the scale of Miami Vice, thats the crowd you roll with. yeah, still dont make it suck any less. so true. losing your best friend at 18 (he was 22) really makes life...different. really sucks, cause he was skydiving, and a pilot...which is what I am today. we would have had so much fun. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  11. hmm, surprised it was not sent "signature required." ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

  13. Que the conspiracy theorists in 3...2...1... Seriously, it would be a good idea in theory. I keep my rather extensive medical history on a flash drive on my keychain. come to think of it though, with the movement to digitize medical records, it may just be a matter of time. i really wouldn't mind simply having my name, contacts, blood type, and maybe a kick mp3 track on a chip in me for the paramedics to listen too....something like "kickstart my heart." on a serious note, my brother was murdered, and dumped. thankfully, (can't believe i am saying this), if it was not for his arrest record, (he had bought a stolen ATC, did not know it, but got busted at pismo dunes), with his prints, it may have take much longer for the police to get in touch with our family. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  14. why don't we just chip people like dogs. paramedics could have a "scan app" on their smart phones. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  15. by chance right before he pored the stuff down the sink did he say the famous last words.... "Watch this!" ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  16. i am really unfamiliar with repeater technology, and want to by the right device. this is for our cell phones. thanks. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  17. thanks, any more economical options? ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  18. We have verizon and have a weak signal inside our home. Any suggestions on a booster? (and, no, before you ask, we are not going to switch networks, thanks) ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  19. i hear ya, we live up in the desert, East of Los Angeles. The "cities" here have animal control, but drive just a few miles, and you've sometimes got to "handle" it yourself. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  20. as a broker that handles REO properties (real estate owned, a.k.a bank owned) we have seen many simply left behind. so many, we have the various animal control agencies in our phones. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  21. i work for myself, so i can look at anything i want. but if someone was working for me, opened a boobie pic, and did not show it to me, then i would be pissed! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  22. Skydive Crosskeys. My wife comes up short trying to make it back. She is not going to clear some trees, so turns and lands in a freshly manure-ed field, catches her foot on a plowed row, and face plants...not too far from a road. She stands up, crap now smeared all over her shirt, and, decides it would be best to take the shirt off. As she is doing so, she hears a truck lock up the tires! yeah, she got a ride back real easy. (oh, she had a sports bra on). ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  23. according to my Mac dashboard speed converter...200 fps = 136.36364 mpg... free fall. really?!
  24. so if i wait more that an hour, will the doctor pay me for my wasted time? i have gotten used to waiting that long, so i bring a book to read. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
  25. This is exactly why I feel safer in the flying, jumping, or scuba-ing....than riding my motorcycle. While there are idiots everywhere, there are some areas where there are less. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
