I find this very hard to believe.

QuoteYou seem pretty informed. Then I have tricked you. Sorry. I have never been to Eloy. I am sure another person who has been to eloy would be of more help. Calling Skydive Arizona might be helpful too. (I assume you are going skydiving) Sorry.

I think you mean to say 'supersonic', right? I think he means subsonic; but I may be wrong. It would be cheaper. And why a jet? Zeppelin?

I think one of the taxes you are talking about is the airport tax. If you get a rental NOT from the airport, that tax won't be there. I believe. I may be wrong.

I could live on Veggie corn dogs (morningstar farms). They are pretty convenient, 150 calories AND on a stick. Why are you skipping the meat? Why are you only looking for substitutes? If you go to the PETA website, they will send you a “How to go Vegetarian” guide. Or at least they used to. (Please don’t mean me.) If you are doing it for health and you live alone, There is a decent book out there called “Vegan cooking for one.” (I'm not a vegetarian)

When I was 3, “Belinda, the world is full of monster but they look like every one else.”

Advice I don’t know how to take: …In worst case scenario, an engagement ring can be turned into half of a really nice set of earrings. (i'm much more of an optimist then my mom, my mom just says I'm young.)

From my mom, …Listen to my heart above all the other voices. …Don’t video anything that could later be used to incriminate yourself. …You can never get rid of all the evidence; it’s much harder to prove “accidents”. …Men think with their brains second, if at all. …Remember you have to live with yourself, do good. Worst advice: …Dead monkey jokes aren’t as funny as I think they are. …Skydiving is foolish, knock it off. (Refer to first piece of advice.) (my mom is a cynic that does forensics work)

Down load some info on the web about how to pick locks, then go to HomeDepot, purchase some locks, go home and practice until you can do it in the dark. Some day it may come in handy.

My promise date is 2/1 (12/7 +8 weeks). I wish I could have an update on it’s actual status. I am overly excited to watch the assembly. Patience is a virtue…..

Whats your Name and what do you do for a living?
Lostinspace replied to Viking's topic in The Bonfire
I’m Belinda. I was a Design Engineer. I’m currently perusing a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and learning about all things skydive. Someday I will make a living somehow involving skydiving. See you soon. -
it's closer to one every 13 jumps. And His bad luck is contagious to boot. On my last jump, Dairus and Idlewild were on the load. I had my first reserve ride and Fish (idlewild) got his A. It's ok, I'll still jump with you Fish. I have a lucky Alti.

I'd move.

Or you could have the tailor measure you up naked and hope you clothes take up the slack in his measurements. -
Tsunami, Powell: U.S. aid will be 'billions'
Lostinspace replied to Lostinspace's topic in Speakers Corner
I often believe that I am out of sync with the whole world. I don’t understand. Articulation isn’t my forte, sorry. To all, please don’t hate me for this post. These countries do need help, I have volunteered my financial contribution. There is a post, Tsunami aid - US provides $35m, Japan $30m, UK $29m - France $136,000!?!? , dealing with stinginess. Backwards? The most expressed view on this forum believes since the US, a capitalistic country, is so well off that its constituents should be forced to financially support the humanitarian efforts currently required in the afflicted Countries and balk that a socialistic government initially pledged a trivial sum. (France has since upped their input) After 9/11, the red cross received more than 1 billion dollars. If people really care, the funds will be pledged. The resulting death toll from Sunday’s tidal wave is the result of complacent leadership. The countries directly affect did not need to develop a technique to detect tidal wave triggering events. New seismometers are available for purchase, some have even been sold on eBay. Suppose you don’t want to buy American made goods, are afraid of shoddy assembly of goods made at an outsourced assembly plant, or are afraid of identidy theft through eBay, there are instructions on line how to make a basic seismometer. Through in some research and you can make a seismometer in whatever patriotic colors you like. These countries did not need to develop a process to broadcast that danger was imminent, it’s been done before. The cost of implementing a simple system is not prohibitive, requiring only a PA system and phone lines. Wireless is even cheaper, and some of the hardware is already erected. I don’t know, but apparently it appreciates once expired. How come no one is troubled that the US didn’t place a warning system in these countries prior to 100k people dieing? Why did the afflicted country’s governments think the cost of their citizens and tourist's lives didn’t outweigh the investment in an seismometers and PA system? 20/20 hind sight does not apply, Tsunamis have occurred before. And where is this money coming from? There is a post titled Why can't we help our own? , which the originator sites the US is quick to offer countries assistant while there is much left unrectified at home. The next poster argue the following: Why does this applicable to an individual but not population? Most of the global problems I see appear, to me, to be a result of reprehensible leadership. BCS We are our brother’s keeper. -
Or to make the pic, I just took a screen shot and then cropped it MSPaint and save it as a Jpeg. Good luck with picking the colors.

Outrageous or appropriate? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6762079/ -
10. It's on 24 hours a day with no infomercials. 9. The great muzak that accompanies "Local on the 8s." 8. Because my short term memory is like... short. 7. When it rains, it bores. 6. You can get INTERNATIONAL weather for free. 5. Can Know what it is like outside, even if you are stuck in a computer room with no windows. (For hours.) 4. They occasionally show an interest piece on how different types of weather phenomena affect skydiving. 3. Most local WX people are assholes . . . 2. Storm stories! 1. They read the forecast for me, so I don’t have to exhaust myself reading it.

yes, I don't know when someone edited it to string those clips together. The music and the video were probably created at the same time, to get it to sync up so well.
