  1. skybytch, gravitygirl, and a few others.
  2. PM some of the gear dealers we've got on here. They can probably help.
  3. ask him for the money. if he doesn't cough it up, file a suit in small claims.
  4. there's two computers in the bomb shelter bar area that anyone can use. its really slow, though. and if its a big event, sometimes a lot of people want to use them.
  5. the way I trim my cats nails: The hard way: Find a big towel that you don't mind tears in. Sneak up behind cat very, very quietly. drop towel over cat's head pick up cat and towel, being very careful of claws. arrange towel to cover entire cat. reach into towel. a paw will automatically fasten itself to your hand pull now bloody hand out of towel, along with paw. hold on tight, clip nails release paw. it will return to towel of its own accord. reach back into towel, retrieve a paw, hopefully a different one. trim. repeat until all four paws are trimmed drop towel on couch and run. the easy way: pack cats into carrier. put carrier into car. drive to groomers. remove cats from carrier and hand to groomer pay $5 per cat. put newly trimmed cats back in carrier drive home let cats out.
  6. it would depend on whether or not everyone in the chain of command acted with the necessary care that one ought to have when risking human life.
  7. like I said, it is the responsibility of the government to be responsible when risking the lives of our troops. If a decoy strike is the way to go, so be it, but it needs to be done with care and responsibility.

  9. yes and no. when someone joins the military, they sign up knowing they might die. our government, in turn, has an obligation to make sure they are responsible when risking our troops lives and don't do it unless it is very necessary. the responsibility is shared.
  10. clownburner and I will be there tomorrow.
  11. what reserve do you have: PD 176 what container: Javelin what loading on the reserve: .8 or so how did it fly: beautifully! what was the mal: wasn't a mal. was a reserve hooked up as a main for demo.
  12. awesome!!!! if you can, talk to your doctor about the back problems and find out what you can and can't do. and see if you can get a good personal trainer, because what they will show you is amazing compared to what you can do on your own. they'll help you mealplan, design exercise programs, learn how to do the exercises right, and adjust the programs when you hit a plateau.
  13. Hollister's landing area is about 400 feet higher than the airport. that's why the AADs are set to fire higher there. I had to configure my cypres to fire higher when I jumped there because of the difference in elevation.
  14. I've never flown the Aerodyne, but I can tell you that the silhouette is an awesome canopy.
  15. depends on which translation you're reading. the oldest texts use a word closest to murder rather than kill, which is different. If you kill someone in self defense, it probably isn't murder.
  16. In water training, you learn alot about how your rig is going to react when wet,how to prepare if you know you're going to land there, and what the canopy's going to do. It was very informative. It's not just swimming skills.
  17. oh... if you're freeflying, go for an open face helmet and goggles. for RW, full face is preferred, because you're in closer proximity to others and are very likely to get kneed in the face. I've got an Oxygn full face, and a Bonehead Guner openface. I use the full face for RW, and the open face for hop n pops and stuff. Most people at my DZ seem to prefer Z1 helmets for fullface, as the visor opens, like the oxygn, but it has a latch to secure it, which the oxygn lacks. since the factory diver has a fixed visor and you can't open it, take that into consideration. Pick a helmet that fits your head well. Each brand has a different feel to it.
  18. Bev makes awesome jumpsuits for girls. For the rest, demo gear and find what's right for you, if you can. It doesn't matter what other people favor, its what you feel more comfortable wearing.
  19. I was kinda fond of: Last time someone listened to a Bush, folks wandered around in the desert for 40 years. made everyone in my car laugh, even the one who's gonna vote for Bush. its clever.
  20. I've got a neptune on my wrist and a pro-track in my helmet. I like the neptune better as a visual alti than the digitude I'd been using, and I like both much better than the analog alti galaxy I'd had before that. I grew up in the age of digital watches, so reading a digital readout is easier for me.
  21. I think Lindsay Lohan would've been better. Lindsay can actually act. original daisy duke http://www.dukefarm.com/images/hazzard/daisy/daisy2.jpg http://www.dukefarm.com/images/hazzard/daisy/bigdaisy.jpg lindsay lohan http://www.starswelove.com/scriptsphp/showimg.php?imageid=32389 http://www.starswelove.com/scriptsphp/showimg.php?imageid=23799
  22. Jeans, a tank top, a jacket, and a Philadelphia Flyers hat that Clownburner gave me. =)
  23. its usually up to the individual store. Privately owned establishments have the right to cover what they wish. that said, I think its silly to cover up women in bikinis. nakedness, I'd understand, but bikinis???
  24. my SO is a total sweetie...even if he ought to know that I wouldn't karate chop him for anything he said on DZ.com!
