Not to stir any burbling pots here, but I'm intrigued by how the cogent points that Chris and Mike are making are being turned into age/gender/weight-based hatred. Skimming posts is not the way to approach this particular topic. I agree with Chris and Mike and their observations regarding the lackadasical obese. The original vein of this thread was pointing out that, while there ARE people who berate themselves each and every day over their obesity, there are at least as many people who expect to be catered to in their corpulent state because that's the America they're used to: "deal with me regardless of how it inconveniences you". I find a mentality that caters to an unhealthy lifestyle because it might hurt someone's feelings to indicate in any way that they have something to correct about their health to be far more careless than one that forces people to look and see that change is necessary for continued existence without special caveats.

Perhaps if it gives you wood at work, it's trashy...but that would tend to incorporate much of what is posted here for some, pics or no pics.

Not sure. I just ordered it with Chuck's assistance this past Wednesday. I'm guessing it will be a couple weeks before it's in my hands.

The status of my Firebird R order changed to "processing" yesterday, so it shouldn't be long before I begin my own initial foray into the world of wingsuit flight. I can't freakin' WAIT!

We're going to have a little talk about that whole "public image" thing, my friend. Don't you see how many hearts you've just sent plummeting? And I'm not only talking about Icon134's. I'll be stopping by your office for a full report on Friday...WAIT! Actually, it's YOU who's stopping by MY office this time.

And congratulations to all the other teams who competed and made the meet what it was, a great time for everyone. Raeford Schoolboys, Team Pfffft and Luckiest Guy at Raeford in the rookie class, and all the teams in the more experienced classes (the names of which escape me for the moment), all of you made this meet not only possible, but fun and ultimately an enjoyable experience. Fox Force, I'm sorry circumstances conspired to keep you from competing, but we'll look forward to seeing you at the next meet. Thanks again to ALL the teams for their participation.

Let me get with the boss on that one, darlin'. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

I'm really sorry too, although my presence there wasn't as noteworthy as Skymama's. Cora and I are completely smoked. With everything that's currently going on in our lives, we need a weekend to decompress a bit and get our bearings. We are truly sorry we can't make it. This wasn't an easy decision, as we had been looking forward to meeting back up with good friends and making new friends as well, but it simply isn't feasible this weekend. Again, we're very sorry about this.

Yeah, Cora and I can't make it either. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful time. Tip a few back at the end of the day for us.

Vibes sent. Wishing him a safe and speedy recovery. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Oh, my ass is cute alright. But you may have to take my word for that, as it won't be making the light of day in public any time soon. Oh, and Guido loves me, he's just frustrated with the fact that I keep speaking (limited) French to him. I promise not to tell Cora you insulted her by stating that you don't know what she's doing with a nice guy like me. We love CSS, so I'm sure you'll see more of us as the summer goes by. I mean, with you and PJ there, how can we go wrong?

You know, I think that's a good idea, going to Chester instead of waiting for the CSS meet. Hopefully Hal and Sheryl will be able to make it, especially after their rousing success at the raeford meet. They took second place! That's fairly impressive, considering they had only made two jumps together prior to the meet. I don't think we'll have any trouble at all getting Cora and Steve to go to Chester. Steve was tapping his arm to get a vein ready for an RW infusion after this meet. I'll let Cora know to send you an email once she's had time to go through that material. We were glad we got to see you this weekend, even if the weather and circumstances conspired to keep you from competing.

That's fantastic! It's so great to see how you're progressing and how kick ass your attitude about everything is. Thanks for sharing and for your sacrifice.

Well then! I suppose it's a good thing Cora doesn't drink, or we might never make it back to the hotel. The part of the equation I'm not entirely sure of is how much of a booze-hag Andrea is going to wind up being at this thing, so we'll make Cora our DD.

Sorry the weather was for shite, PJ. We really wanted to see you and the rest of the Foxes compete. I suppose that's incentive to come watch up at CSS. It was good seeing you, PJ. Thaks for the info you gave Cora. She was very happy about that.

Geez, jump on a guy's bandwagon in such a way so that it doesn't jar the movement and look what happens. Be honest, you were just waiting to tell that story, right?
