I liked the movie! Long story short, a group of people went to great lengths to separate themselves from the monsters present in society, but in doing so become monsters themselves. The real message is what you find when you look between the so called "plot holes". Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Who does the permeability and strength testing? The rigger? Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Cool, thanks...I'll definitely be looking for you. I'm doing some RW stuff right now, but it has been small and usually we only form the base and the rest doesn't come together, so I've never actually turned points yet. *sigh* But, one day I'll be in something other than a 4way round!

Oh! Another question... How long does it take to inspect canopies and pack the reserve? Do I need to commit a weekend or just a day? Should I call the rigger and let him know that I need it done or just show up and ask if he can fit it in? And, I'm expecting the reserve pack expense, but how much more should I bring for him inspecting the canopies, too? Thanks! I'm so new to this whole thing! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

But only if you fall. Jumping between 6 story parking garages and making it is "bad-ass" Does anyone believe that they may win the lawsuit? Because I think they possibly could. They aren't suing for damages to the kid, they're suing for negligence on behalf of the garage owners, right? I think they might have a case now that this kid fell and hurt himself and they still haven't made any real attempt to prevent the problem further. I'm definitely not taking sides here, though, because I hate stupid lawsuits initiated by people who just can't look at themselves and take a little responsibility for their actions. This kid measured the risk of his jump because he surely looked down before he went, but he jumped anyway. He certainly shouldn't sue for bad judgement (or bad form jumping). I'm really curious about how the lawsuit is being argued. If the family is looking for damages, I would hope they wouldn't win. If the family is suing because there was nothing in place to prevent the jump, thereby saving the kid from himself, then I also hope they don't win. But, if they're suing the garage for not fencing after the kid's fall, then I think they might have an argument. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Gracias!! Now when I move up near Zhills...and you see a pitiful looking newbie skydiver in some shiny new-ish gear looking for a couple of RW partners, you'll know it's me! So come and snag me when you're looking for a little four way funnel action!!!

I am now the proud owner of a PDR 160 and a Sabre 170. They are both used. The reserve's manufacture date is 5/95 with 0 jumps. The Sabre's is 10/98 with

That's quite a lot of snow! So, is it hard or soft to land on? Slippery? Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

It's okay, brother. After all, isn't it obvious that more women have superior intellectual capabilities than men? Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

It's true...and sort of like a bigfoot sighting! Quick, take a picture before I disappear to study the GI system! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

And it's not a given for the women? Sheesh! Some of us chicks like to watch football too, you know. That is when we can break ourselves away from cooking, cleaning, and making babies. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Hercules is a cutie! My boxer baby was a white, too. She had one big brown spot around one eye and floppy ears. Sadly, she also had a congenital kidney defect and died when she was only 5 years old of renal failure. That dog was a lot of work. I was giving her daily IV's during the last couple of weeks to combat the renal problems and keep her feeling okay. But, she was awesome and I still miss her even today. Is yours healthy? I'd get another white again, but I can't handle another one with renal problems. Poor thing had to eat low-protein (of course, expensive) food and the IV's and frequent doctor's visits and repeat blood work. She was worth the work, though.

Oh, wow!! What a beautiful, big guy that one is. He's got some serious cheek action going on, too. Boxer rescue rocks. I've been keeping looking at the dogs for adoption for a long time. Wish I could have another one. My fave boxer things...the curly-C they make with their bodies when you pet them...and how they stand over your feet while your legs are crossed so you can rub their belly...and how they get so excited that their nubby little tail wag turns into a full body shake...and their worried little wrinkly looking faces...and, well, damn near everything. Have fun with your new family member!

My friend and I were buying toys for underserved kids we sponsored and found some awesome spiderman toys! I don't know which machine your son is referring to, but maybe these might help you get started... spidey laser shooters spidey motocycle simulator The motorcycle was fun to play with because it lets you turn the handles to rev the engine and it vibrates and stuff. It was cool. Spiderman rocks!

My ex-fiance threatened to punch me when I told him I was considering hyphenating. I only wanted to keep my last name out of respect for my family and the accomplishments I made before getting married. He was a shmuck. Luckily, I didn't get hit that day and we didn't get married.

Discounts can be nice! But, hey, just thinking the total "girl" thing...If i was the undercover cop and the salesman only offered me a $100 discount as opposed to the other chick being offered a $1000 discount, I'd be all pouty and pissed off. Maybe I'd put the handcuffs on him extra tight for downgrading his discount! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Last winter, I camped out there plenty of times. It's one of my favorite things to do once the weather changes. The bathroom doors were always unlocked and available. I used to leave Fort Lauderdale late after work, drive up, and set my tent up by the light of my car's headlights. The showers were accessible all hours (a nice thing after rolling around on the ground fighting a tent in the dark). But, if this is the keys boogie weekend as someone mentioned, Sebastian is going to be something of a ghost town right now. Have fun with whatever you decide to do!

It makes sense that people who are young with a strong immune system can handle the possibility of getting the flu without dying; whereas, the elderly have a greater probability of dying from the flu due to weakened immune systems and multiple comorbidities (simultaneous disease processes). That's why it's way cooler for people in the states, due to the vaccine shortage, to let people who need it more get the shot. And, basically, if you aren't immunocompromised or elderly you aren't getting the shot in the states anyway. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

You know, one night I locked my bike up outside the door to my second floor apartment. I woke up to find it gone. For at least a week, I had trouble sleeping because it freaked me out knowing that a "bad" guy was right outside my door in the middle of night and that the only thing separating me from that person was a chinky little bolt and a door. That sucks. And that was just theft of a bike. I would be really freaked out, too, if someone had tried to break in. There's some good advice on here. Nightingale had some great suggestions. Just remember to stay aware always. Get your light fixed ASAP. Never let your guard down until your safe inside. And always have your keys ready as you approach your apartment. I've lived alone for a long time and I'm still scared from time to time. Be aware, be confident, and be prepared. You might not be able to stop something bad from happening, but you can avoid being surprised by it. Preparation is key here. Good luck, chick, and don't hesitate to take advantage of your male friends for security...be it leaving a male voice on your answering machine or walking you to your door at night. Stay safe, moody! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Good luck, Nightingale! In my personal hell, there is a scantron and pencils. I feel your pain. Exam timing always sucks, but at least you'll finish up with the torts test (ha, that sounds cool) in time to relax that evening and do a little post-exam and happy birthday celebratin'! And, Linz!!! SWEET! Congrats on finishing it up, chick! I am fairly certain that I am stuck in the semester from hell. There is no end in sight. I am destined to sit in the damn lecture hall staring at a clock that won't move until the end of time. I'm certain of this. Glad to see you broke out of the monotony! Promises, promises!!! Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Why are vehicles getting bigger as gas prices are getting higher? I get 21 mpg in my jeep and that bites! These vehicles that get less than 20 (how do you do it, AD? 17mpg!) make my whimper every time I pass a gas station. Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

That...was...SWEET!!!!!! I wonder how long it takes to do that right?? Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Just had a friend send me this one today...(sorry for the caps, I don't have time to retype it) A MAN IS LYING IN BED IN THE HOSPITAL WITH AN OXYGEN MASK OVER HIS MOUTH. A YOUNG NURSE APPEARS TO SPONGE HIS HANDS AND FEET. "NURSE", HE MUMBLES FROM BEHIND THE MASK, "ARE MY TESTICLES BLACK?" EMBARRASSED, THE YOUNG NURSE REPLIES,"I DON'T KNOW, I'M ONLY HERE TO WASH YOUR HANDS AND FEET." "HE STRUGGLES AGAIN TO ASK, NURSE, ARE MY TESTICLES BLACK?" FINALLY, SHE PULLS BACK THE COVERS, RAISES HIS GOWN, HOLDS HIS WILLY IN ONE HAND AND HIS TESTICLES IN HER OTHER HAND AND TAKES A CLOSE LOOK AND SAY'S, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM!" FINALLY, THE MAN PULLS OFF HIS ! OXYGEN MASK AND REPLIES, " THAT WAS VERY NICE BUT, ARE... MY... TEST...RESULTS...BACK ?" Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. -Salvador Dali

Cancer is a bitch. And it's one mean, unforgiving, relentless disease. I'm sorry to hear about Edwards wife and hope that she is able to recover from it. There is some irony in a trial lawyer who got rich off of doctors and medical malpractice suits having to utilize one for his wife. But, he'll find one and she'll get treatment because there are moral doctors out there who believe in the sanctity of life and abide by the hippocratic oath. Unfortunately, Edwards may not have realized that fact until now. I have no problem with penalizing true MALpractice cases, but these days it seems that there is a witch hunt going on all to procure greater and greater sums of money. I was in Tampa and heard a commercial over the radio..."does your child have cerebral palsy? Your doctor might be responsible!" Call us here at, swindle, connive, and lie for more information. That's ridiculous! The truth is that there are a lot of lawsuits against companies like those that insure doctors because they are a virtual treasure trove of wealth. As for Edward's wife, I think it is absolutely ludicrous to say that she deserved to be diagnosed with cancer. Disease is not a punishment. I'll say that again, because it pisses me off when people allude to that myth...DISEASE IS NOT A PUNISHMENT for a state of mind, or a way of life, or personality, or preference, or political beliefs, or anything. It happens to everyone, no one is immune. And, as such, any time spent trying to assert that a disease is either due to someone's way of life or is a big, laughable, fuck you for someone that you don't like is deleterious at best. Perhaps if everyone who felt that way would redirect their energy toward helping their neighbor instead of saying that bad things are deserved, the world would have the potential to be a better place.
