Merry Christmas to you! Welcome back. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Some nice shirts, some sweatpants,a watch, some chocolates, a large supply of my favorite popcorn, and Lynn and I got a nice hot cocoa set. And a wonderful time with my grandchildren.

It can be done with a great deal of success; but if it is as one-sided as it seems in the original post, it will never work. A number of dz.commers know that Lynn and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary by getting a divorce. I won't go into details, but it was needed to take care of some underlying problems inour relationship. We remained friends and kept talking and finally were able to reestablish a basis for repairing those underlying problems. We did so, started dating again, and got remarried to celebrate our 24th; that was over 10 years ago. It can work, but I know we are the exception. Unless there is mutual desire to reestablish the relationship and the problems are truly addressed, one would ususally be better advised to try to teach an elephant to play Beethoven on an ocarina than to try to revive a dead relationship.

Not a single song, but IMO the lmost beautiful music of the season is Handel's Messiah. If I have to pick a favorite single song it would be "O Holy Night". Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

We will be in Raeford on mid-afternoon on Friday until the day after Christmas. We won;t be junmping, though; this will be our first time with the grandkids since lase Christmas. It is far more important to us to be spending all the time with them we can. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

There is a very interesting article in the current "Air & Space Smithsonian" on three different reconstructions of the 1903 Wright flyer. Very interesting indeed, according to all who have studied it, there is just no way it should have flown. And if anyone offers you a ride on a 1903 Wright Flyer, refuse it -- it won't/can't get high enough to allow you jump(even with a BASE rig) and is so damn unstable you'll be kissing the ground on landing. If you survive, that is. Later models obviously were a lot more stable and airworthy. All in all, the Wright brother's feat is even more remarkable the more you learn about it.

Yea, but what does that toon have to do with me? Oh, Robin. C'mon. You know that I have the utmost respect for the big J.C.! Kris (Yup, definitely going to hell now...) Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

That statement has to be by someone who hasn't actually read the posts that "attack" Christians. Many of them were written be people who not only have read the Bible, but have read more than one edition of it, including the original Aramaic/Hebrew texts. As someone has mentioned in the threads about sexuality, I believe that those who protest about the "attacks" do so because they don't understand what is being written and/or are insecure about their faith.

Nice pics Nac. I must admit, though, that pictures were not what came to mind when I first saw this thread...I had visions of the wee one running (or crawling) amuck with high tech weaponry after Mum refused the food bar.

The short answer is: Probably. The long answer is: Read the Forum Rules, they are quite simple and quite short.

yes, A39180 That would have been my choice, was out of my control. When I get back I do plan on staying there. I did AFF. A level 3, then 4, then 7 does sound good. Thanks. Hallelujah! A skydiver who not only seeks advice, but recognizes good advice when he sees it! Good on ya Larry. It seems you have your head on straight; keep being so safety aware and may you enjoy a long skydiving career. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

No, Rob. The shit should not hit the fan. There is NO similarity to this and the anthrax vaccine. You're too young, but ask any member of my generation. We all have smallpox vaccination scars. How do you think smallpox was wiped out in the wild? A fatal rate of 1 in a million is statistically non-existent. True it would suck to be that one, but in reality, flu vaccinations are riskier than smallpox. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

OK Jessica, since you asked so nicely. I met Lynn when we were both in second grade and my family moved into the same neighborhood as hers. She doesn't remember back to that, but why wouyld she? I was just another of the boys in the neigborhood. Lynn, on the other had, was the best athlete around and more than a little tomboy. When we got up a neighborhood baseball game, she would be one of the very first chosen, I was always last. She went to Catholic school, I went to Lutheran. Fast forward to high school. First I learn that her name is Lynn; we had always called her Penny, as that was her family's nick for her. She always had one boyfriend and got rid of him by summer (hey, someone had to carry that alto sax to school, sure wan't going to be her!); I went with a couple different girls but never anything serious. We went on more than a couple double dates. When homecoming rolled around our senior year, my best friend and I had decided we were going to skip the dance and take in a movie after the football game. Hah! Lynn was in her second year as president of the Girl's Athletic Association and as such automatically on the homecoming court, she had no boyfriend and had told her friends she was not going to have one this year. Hah! On Tuesday night of homecoming we were working on the senior flaot and someone needed to get some supplies, Bob and I volunteered. When we returned we had to walk through a small room to get into the garage space where construction was being done and as we did, we were surrounded by ten or so of our classmates of the feminine persuasion. One of them spoke up and said "Bob and Jack, you are taking Lynn and Sharon to Homecoming!" in a tone that clearly would brook no disagreement. I looked at Bob and told him that I had always wanted to ask Lynn out, so if he would ask Sharon, it would work for me, he agreed. I went home and gave Lynn a call to ask her if she would go to the dance with me, figuring, "What the hey. I know it's late, but if she says no, so what?". Not like it was my idea anyway. She said fine and I agreed to pick her up at her house after the game. We couldn't go to the game together as she was in the band (remember the alto sax?). A good time was had by all and we even went to a movie the next week. I was stunned the next week when she asked me to the Sadie Hawkins Dance, but not as stunned as our classmates. Things progressed from there. I carried that damned alto sax the whole year. That ultimatum was given to us on October 5, 1965. Sorry to say things didn't workout as well for Bob and Sharon. And yes, I have thanked those ladies. The alto sax? It's descendant is in our oldest grandson's possesion. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Just got on the forums a few minutes ago and just worked my way up to this one, and what do I see on the top but THEY DID IT!

Dave, I have only been to SkyVenture once. I had a lot of fun, but really didn't get anything accomplished; I weigh about what you do and am 4 inches shorter. I spent most of my time just trying to stay stable but did, after a while, get up to the mirrors and stayed there for a while. This was in my slowest RW suit with my swoop cords working to their max. On my last session I was just praying for that light to come on, I was pooped to the max. I would have been disappointed, but when the owner (for the life of me, I can't think of his name right now) came up to me after my second session, asked what I weighed and upon being told, said "Wow, I'm impressed you were able to get up so high!", I felt a lot better. I think I may have to try the new one out if it is going to be faster; they really ran it at max for me and I appreciated it, but I think us monsters have to wait for the next generation of SkyVenture to really get what these lightweights do from it.

Nope, the Lottery Commission screwed up, my winning ticket did not, in fact , win. Neither did Andrea's. No one's did. The drawing this Saturday will be $100M. When I win it and take the immediate payout, I will bring home a check for $36,000,000.00 (or thereabouts). Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

No I don't have those things. But I do drive a PT Cruiser, so the dice are appropriate. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

How to impress woman? Hit on head with club. Drag to cave. Belch loud. Hit chest two three times (better let club drop first). Roar name. Put Happy Little Fella in warm moist place. Roar name at right time (will know when). Take nap. Wait a minute, did you want something more enlightened and up to date? How to impress a particular woman or women in general? Afraid I'll have to get back to you on that one. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
