    Since when did GPA HAVE to be a 4.0 scale? That is just one type. My high school did our averages on the 100 point scale (as in I had a 97 percent average). 97%!!! and your parents still gave you the cheep knock offs? lol kiddn

    Actually, that's how it is in the schools here too. The Advanced placement classes are weighed heavier than normal classes on the 4.0 scale. All of the top students have grades over 4.0 when they graduate. Check, it's a prep school part of the university of Arizona, earning college credits... all classes are "honnor", you can get up to 5.0 in this system.

    well lucky you! how old is he, there will soon be a time when they know all about every electronic devices, if they are a must, and how to work them... it started when she was 10 or 11.. I love my daughter... she is well worth a stupid couple hundred buck thingy... if it really makes her happy. How much was the stainless option or the inset stabiliz on my latest rig?... humm..

    When i was a kid, my parents bought me the cheaper versions of popular stuff. They didn't care if I whined that it was not cool. I just had to suck it up. I am sorry, at 14 years old, it would actually suck to do that, my parents did that some time to me too, as I do with my own child but in this case... I did the better product and do not regret it. brand names and 'cool' stuff is an important element to be part of the good crowd. she is 14 earning college credits way over 4.0 student, gorgeous, but you know what... it was iPod or die... I did tell her to take a hike when she asked for a Louis Vuiton handbag!

    Well I made the mistake of Going to Napster and Paying for about 10 songs a $1 each. Downloaded them and then discovered that there no way put them on my iPod because they were WMA Files. They could not be converted to Mp3 because they were "Rights Managed". I am sure you can download songs from WinMX or anywhere else as long as they are MP3`s and still put them on your ipod but sites like Napster and many others usually send WMA files. I have not yet found a way to convert legally obtained (Purchased) WMA files to get them on a iPod with out Burning them to a CD and then Ripping them back off in MP3 Format. If any could tell me a better way I would greatly appreciate it. take your itune songs burn them to a regular cd, then re-import them in iTunes, it alows you to make MP3 then, it's a waist of time and a few CDs, but it works.

    I have a teenager, I pod was a must, all the rest is simply not cool, apple has a good service with it, they come in many shapes and sizes, personalized or not and now in cute colors in the mini iPod version. We are victims of what is cool or not, and obviously all the other brands at this point are shit in the eye of the teen consumer. The new product is called iShuffle it's very cheep, same cool factor, much smaller, less capacity but it it an Apple product, so it's still very "cool". I had to get a pink mini iPod for my daughter... I would love to borrow it but the damn thing is pink, see now i am a victim too, I just might have to go get a... silver one. the mini is nice it fits in any little pocket, like jumpsuit pocket
  11. it also seems like opening the nose in flight and trying to crawl out of it, letting go and attempting to avoid being sucked in a turbo-fan might be slightly impractical... or does the butt open too? lol
  12. what is the exit speed out of one of those babies? I did a bunch of jumps out of C-130 at RTAF speeds, in the 150/160 and that was seriously fast in my opinion, what is slow flight on this type of aircraft?
  13. never mind my previous question, found a pic, and well it looks like... sexy in a sex toy kinda way... a huge one.
  14. what is a C5? what does it look like? sexy in a dude way or a feminine way?

  18. for an ad. surprise, maybe... you will see. //
  19. HAHAHAHahahaha! Betsy... of all people! I guess you might have an interest in this.
  20. http://www.southwest.com/ you saw it on the SWA site? where?
  21. Can you tell me what is the exact sentence that the cabin people say as after landing, the one that goes "thank you for choosing XXX airline, we know you have choices and bla bla bla..." how does it go? I'm trying to find it online but for some reason, not being lucky. Thx B. //
  22. A deep breath, I can't believe it, one second it's a normal week day at the DZ, the next second one of the very best leaves us. My sincere condolences to Dr Kenny's family and to Homegrown his local extended family. I guess the funky chicken will never taste the same. Rest in peace. Benjamin
