I can give great advice on making babies.

Um . . . okay, I still gotta go with YOU! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA does that count as a personal attack?

The lighter weights are always much better bouts. More about Boxing and less about sheer brute force. Chavez et. al. are definitely much more fun to watch. I really enjoy women's boxing too.

Glad to know you have forehand knowledge of the upcoming elections and that you know for a fact that Bush will loose and that you are thus able to speak for the entire American voting population. I'm curious what will the next six numbers be in the Florida, Ohio and NY lotteries? Also, what will my AT&T share prices be in 4 months I'm looking to sell? Oh and can you please tell me what exactly the questions on my Thermodynamics midterm will be wednesday so I can be prepared. Since you seem to be able to tell the future I would like to benefit from your gift. And for those who think that Iraq is in worse shape, could you please tell me what parts of I raq you visited, what information you DID NOT get from news sources. How many Iraqi's you personally spoke to and exactly who were they and what was their life like before and how is it now? Since you are so sure that they are in worse shape I would like to know how much of your thoughts are from personal experience and original and not just spouted from what quotes and by lines you can remember.

Was my first jump experience normal?

Then you'll start trying to actually do stuff like turn points or dock with someone and there never is enough time to get it done. Welcome to the biggest playground on earth. Enjoy and be safe. -
Which store? I woudl not mind shopping there. The Kroger here would not do it without the personal info. So I just pay the higher price.

These people tend not to respect boundaries until you make clear what the boundaries are. Sometimes you have to tell them flat out that they are crossing a line and that they are lacking in professionalism. I would not tolerate that kind of behavior. No matter who it was. Even the president of a company better not BARGE into my office. I will not acknowledge them if they do.

Actually this is more than just a problem for the meth cookers. Think about the bigger picture here. This is just one of the many ways that the government is keeping tabs on you personally. Do you think the government has the right to know how you spend every penny you make? How about the right to know where you go and when? The right to listen to every private conversation you have? The right to know exactly what you watch, read and listen to, and when? Each time they create some stupid law like this under the guise of your safety, you think it is a great idea and do not realize the pandora's box you may be opening. Everyday we give away a little more of our privacy and freedom with bullshit like this. Like grocery stores giving discounts on your groceries just for having a card. What is the real purpose of that? You cannot get the card without showing ID, address, checking information, etc. In reward for giving them a way to track your purchases personally, they take some pennies off the price of a bottle of sudafed, which you had to show an ID just to buy. How much does the public and goverment really have a right to know? How far will it go? What do you need to have happen before you stop letting the government make deicsions for you? Before you say, hey wait, what is the real purpose here? And as far as this story is concerned, do you really think that this is going to stop the production of meth? If you have to show ID to buy it you'll do one of many things to circumvent that little piece of "protection" 1.) Get fake ID's. (Real hard for a meth cooker who is already tied in with criminal elements) 2.) Buy sudafed that fell off a truck. 3.) Hire lackeys to buy your sudafed for you. And this is just some of the ways, I am not even trying to get creative. Anyone could come up with these three solutions to the supply problem. The list could be endless. This is just one more stupid law being passed that most people will think nothing of and then 30 years from now, look back and say, (in whiny voices, in secret because if you question it you'll find the law banging down your door) "How did we lose our rights, freedoms and privacy?" BTW: John is just engaging thought. You have a problem with people engaging thought?

You and me both!

I do not have one. But a few gear dealers I have talked to about buying a new rig have said that I should get one and so when I ordered my new rig last week I ordered it with a hook knife. It will go on my left leg strap (Mirage). I am going to buy one for my current rig too. On the premature deployment I had on Friday, the slammer was so bad it knotted my left break line. I did not know it until I did a steerability check which put me in a spin at that point. Because it was so premature I had plenty of altitude to deal with it but it took me about 10-15 secs to get it clear. I was two seconds away from cutting away when it cleared. Had I had a hook knife, my next option, had I not cleared it, instead of cutting away, would have been to cut both break lines and steer with rear risers. Until this incident I thought hook knives were only necessary when doing CreW. Now I know better.

I will try to post a pic. I have to borrow a buddie's camera so it will be a while. DOM - 99 - Mirage The hackey is no different than any I have ever seen. Size is the same. As far as bridal exposure, only the half inch or so from the pouch to the flap where it gets tucked.

BOC.

Hmm, I am only as useful as my last paycheck.

Pop quiz my fellow skydivers

Actually did you not know? You pay for the ass saving! Why else do you think you get charged double on a cutaway? -
Have her tell them she has decided to do one of two things. And then tell them she wants them to decide which one. 1.) Skydive 2.) Be a hooker. I'm betting they pick skydiving.

Wow I came into this one late. Get it done, save it and show it to his girlfriends when he brings them home! That's what we did. "oh look how cute and small it was!" "Yep, he cried like we were cutting off his penis." "Yes there really was THAT much to cut off." "No that is not his natural color. It has discoloered over time!" okay . . . that's enough

See my thread in General Skydivng.

Thanks for the New wallpaper! Someday I will be in a photo like that. Maybe.

Paid a packer to pack my gear. The same one who always does. Checked my gear before putting it on. Got a gear check before going out the door by the guy who happens to be the rigger at my DZ. Did not touch my hackey other then to know where it was before going out the door.(and no I did not pull on it at all.) Did not bump anything going out the door. Solo exit into a sit. just past 6000' something hits my hand I look and see my pilot-chute just as I get slammed in full sit. Has this happened to anyone? It rocked my world, almost knocked me unconscious (vision went dark for a few seconds) and now my traps, lats, and ribs hurt like I got hit by a semi. My neptune reads 165 mph seconds before deployment and I jumpa 230 Hornet. SO I know why I got slammed by the deployment. Thank God my canopy did not blow apart. I had the riggers look at the gear to see if the pilot pouch was too loose/torn/worn and noone found anything wrong. This was not my first sit with this rig. (In fact all of my sits have been on this rig,) This never happened before and I cannot come up with one thing I did differently. Any suggestions? (I am aware that anything said would be speculation, but anything from anyone who experienced this that might help me prevent it from happening again would be helpful.) Honestly, I have chalked up to "One of the freaky things that can happen that make this sport what it is." Based on what I know and what I remember and the conversations I've had this seems the likely thing. I am kind of freaked out by it though. I did not jump today because of the winds being to unpredictable and the pain in my body. But I am not sure if that is the whole reason . . . if you know what I mean.

I have life insurance through Primerica and it is more like death insurance. I die, my family gets paid. Period. When we first got the policy I went over it with them with a fine tooth comb. I fell down a well and break my neck - double indemnity I get run over by a train playing chicken - double indemnity My wife poison's me - double indemnity (but she gets none of it, my Mom does and the kids go to her too.) that's just for you freaks who think you might talk my wife into a cut I off myself with a Revolutionary War cannon to the testicles - double indemnity I burn in skydiving - double indemnity Die of natural causes (heart-attack, disease, cancer) - face value of policy. Bought the policy back when I was 20 and a serious smoker. Wife on the policy too. 250K in coverage - 54 per/month. Have not been smoking for years and should call them to get my rates lowered but keep forgetting. Shoudl take care of that while I am thinking about it. -
Yup, It works for me but it does take a while to load. Speaking of . . . Do you guys experience problems loading THIS site? It usually takes forever for me to get the forums loaded anymore.

Yeah well I am a smelly-scruffy looking nerf-herder with boils on my butt and this weird green discharge whose sole purpose for existence is to mooch off the hard work of others. I am utterly worthless, with no redeeming qualities, and I am ugly to boot. Oh yeah, AND MY PARENTS NEVER KNEW EACH OTHER!
