reminds me of when I went to the bahamas and used my credit card to rent a scooter. a year later I got a $2500 bill from AOL, my indentity has been stolen. 5 hours later on the phone with AOL, all charges dropped. my advice though, call your credit card company immediately, dispute the charge, and freeze the account. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

So basically there is nothing stopping you from the procedure and assuring you complete control over your reproductive rights and resposibility. Tell the doctor you already have six kids with various unwed mothers and they will gladly do you. or tell him the truth....that you hate kids, are selfish, never want to be taken care of by some young nurse when your busted up from jumping, or too old to make it to the bathroom by your self. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

it is stressfull...basically i have had to tell buyers to fuck off and get lost...with no back up buyers...but...so far i have been able to stick to my guns. the market is slow now though...one this last house i am building, i will make 1/2 as much as the last one, and this one is in a better location, and is nicer. but, what the hell...push on! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

yeah...flip it baby! i make my living in real estate...best damn game in town...even when the market goes down...just position yourself to kindly take some houses off people's hands. planning, ...its a beautiful thing. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I lived on my boat for 5 years and worked on the road on contracts...no address. I used my parents, and a friends business address as "home." It was great...I never, ever, got mail. All bills where online... simplify...simplify ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

why dont you just abstain? your so against children anyway, maybe you might find some peace in not having to worry about whether or not she (whomever you have sex with) is pregnant, with out having to do the surgery. I am 37, and STILL preparing myself to be a father, my life is in order, I have traveled, I am at peace, and have the ultimate life partner (the word wife does not do her justice)...and still I am training myself and ensuring that when we do have a (one only) we will provide a paradise of a life for the him/her. just some thoughts...not preaching. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

i hope they can slow to 40 mph! heehhehe ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

I am on about 14 hours in my trike....and it is the best. There is nothing like flying along, picking out some dirt road to land on, and setting down with your fellow trike flyers. We fly out in the desert, so landings are wide open. Also, shutting down the engine and going "stealth" as we joke is very cool...just gliding through the air, and then when you want some more altitude, just flick the starter switch. The FAA is forcing all ultralights to become N-numbered, so I am currently doing the "King Sprot Pilot" program on my computer, and the check ride series too. Very good program, makes understanding maps, airspace, and such very clear. I would recomend the programs. kingschools.com edit to add: Have to mention cost here...trikes run from $20,000 new, (less than a Harley, but who would want a Harley anyway), and are a very economical way to fly. I was able to purchase mine for $15K with 60 hours on it. And for safety, they can be equiped with a BRS parachute. Fuel costs are low, I burn about 3 gallons an hour, and can cruise at 45 mph airspeed. And, the climb rate is about 800 fpm. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

In that case I will go so far as to say that I think riding my bike on a fairly empty country lane is still far more dangerous than driving on a busy main road. oh Dude! i just noticed that you are in the UK...no wonder riding on a country road is so dangerous...hell, your on the wrong side! ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

Uh, ok. Me driving my car on the road - lots of parts - some risk. Me cycling on the road - way less parts - way more risk. your forgot to carry your units, like in math class. riding your bike on the road, and driving your car, the number of idiots is constant. and actually you have to throw in a multiplier for the fact that the average human idiot's eyes and brain are not conditioned enough to actively recongnize the form and shape of a bicycle rider instead of another car with 24" bling bling rims ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

This might be a simplistic way to look at risk, but I factor in how many individual parts are involved in an activity...the more parts, the more people (idiots) touched those parts, thus an increase to my personal safety. Thus, comercial jet airplane with lots of parts = risk. And, my trike with few parts, and ballistic reserve = lower risk. Plus, how many people actually do a safety check on thier cars everytime they drive, like we do on skydiving rigs, scuba gear, and flying trike. And, these systems have back up...I dont think cars have a "reserve brake system." Although semi tractors do have a somewhat failsafe brake system if air presure is lost. ok...go ahead, blast away at this post. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

1000 X $20 = $20,000, then + repacks and upgrades and shit, $1000, so = $ 21,000.... that it of coarse unless you work at a DZ... but, you still owe beer, so $21,000 + $40 (beer) = $21,040. sweeeet !

I have a mac now that i use for video editing, never crashes, never hangs...buuuuut, we have to buy a PC for my wifes work (Realtor), all the web sites and forms are PC based. anyway, my buddy works at IBM and there are internally used PCs available to IBM employees for usually about 50% retail. They wipe them clean and sell them off. If you know anyone at big blue, you may want to check this out...after all, i figure the technical lifespan of a PC is about 2 years, i feel that PCs are basically disposalble, so you will be upgrading later...so save money now. And, it sounds like you dont need too much processor power for lite surfing and word processing. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?
