    The thing is that a lot of people are willing to vote for gay marriage / civil unions because they don't see any harm in accepting them. It's a matter of union between 2 consenting adults that's under consideration right now. Anyone who wants legal recognition of anything other than union between 2 consenting adults will have to bring their case before the public and gain support for it. Are you really sure that the world is so sick and twisted that the public will vote to approve marriage between people and animals, etc? Owned by Remi #?

    I thought he meant that taking the coat would have been okay if the guy had made himself a few lampshades and a couple of roasts with the woman's remains. Owned by Remi #?

    Men can marry women legally right now. You appear to believe that marriage should be limited to unions between men and women. So... what's preventing you from marrying your daughter then? I'll help...she's not a legal, consenting adult. You didn't say anything about how smart or old Fifi is so I can't comment on that one except, as I've said before, most dogs and cats are too old to be good partners by the time they're 18. This particualr challenge ALWAYS comes up. It's total horsehit. Owned by Remi #?

    I don't jump at a desert DZ, but I do know that if the scenery was more important than the skydive to me, I'd get a pilot's license instead of a skydiving license. Owned by Remi #?

    My kids are biological What else would they be, robotic? Before you respond, I know what you really meant. Don't be so positive us gay folk can't have biological children, though. Absent the option to adopt many gay parents can and do have children... some even opt to have them the "old fashioned" way. Gay men and lesbians are entirely capable of having heterosexual sex, even if it isn't emotionally or physically fullfilling. Some will handle the distaste long enough to conceive children if they wants kids badly enough. Some of those lesbians and gay men would have been happy to adopt if they had the legal option. The only losers are the children who don't get adopted and do don't get the loving home they might have had. Owned by Remi #?

    FYI, I've been posting here for years. I responded to something that seemed cruel and was threatened by one person and told to STFU by another. My susequent response reflected the fact that I was pissed off. It's water under the bridge at this point, don't you think? None of it is helping to recover the guy's laptop. Owned by Remi #?

    I'm supposed to know everyone on a public freakin' forum before I respond to what they write? So maybe 100 out of 15000 people know this guy and know he was kidding, huh? How about he doesn't post stupid shit he doesn't really mean on a public forum in the first place? Owned by Remi #?

    You sure? I have a Javelin, and I tried folding the strap over once. It wouldn't fit through the friction adapter. Maybe following Sunpath's guidelines for stowing the excess strap would be a better idea. Edit to add pic from the Javelin owner's manual. Owned by Remi #?

    Not so nutty or original but what goes through my mind is "top to bottom, front to back, check of threes (3 rings), put a quarter in the cypres" while it's off and then "check of threes (attachment points and handles" once it's on. Owned by Remi #?

    Hi Mykel, This isn't meant as a defense or a challenge... just my thinking about your post. I usually have an "ish" idea about my altitude when I pull as well. My alti awareness at break-off is exact, then I track and count. At the end of my count I make sure I'm clear and deploy. I glance at my altimeter and get a quick look at best. I don't bother to take the time to get an exact reading because it's time to pull. I can see that I'm a "little above 3000" perhaps, but I couldn't tell you if it was 3100 or 3200. On the few occasions I've counted and then found that my airspace wasn't clear (looked above me and seen someone in proximity) then I've watched my alti more closely while I evaded. It isn't "lackadaisical" in my opinion. It's more a matter of fact that pulling is more important than knowing "exactly" what my alti is at that point. MO Owned by Remi #?

    I think that your best bet on good advice about clearing your ears under canopy would be to ask your instructors, but; If you're so uncomfortable that you have to clear your ears before you land you might also want to talk to a doctor. Owned by Remi #?

    I think it's split about 50/50 between camping and hotels. I'm planning to camp and I know at least 3 others are as well. I"ll make sure Jeff brings beer, but I can't promise we won't drink it all on the way down. If you can provide a grill I'll make sure we restock as necessary! Owned by Remi #?
