I can be seen on like 3 other boards. But none so frequently as this one. You know, I find the best grammar and articulation on the gun one! And yet we are tarred with the image of "redneck bubba gun-lovers" by the media. I think they're terrified, ideologically, of word getting out that we are actually intelligent... -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Um, don't plan on having them say, "Oh, sorry for the inconvenience, sir! Here is a REAL bill to replace that ol' fake one!" And I don't think they're gonna go sending out the secret service to take 27 8x10 color glossy photographs...either. I got a fake $10 one time in change. I debated calling the authorities and then realized that they'd have nothing to go on, as far as investigating to find the source counterfeiter... and I woulda been out ten bucks... So... I think that "money" found its way back into commerce somehow. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Respect!, woman Those are some cool pics!!

You all owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Erin, people... 'cause it'll be a while before I recover from being speechless!

Okay, here I go, makin' good. Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I'm just sittin' here enjoying the novelty of someone named Jessica being called "'icka"! I love it! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I posted my face in the "male post-whore" thread so that you could put a face with the part, but when I get home tonight I'll put up another "this is Jeffy" pic so you'll know me next time you're walkin' right by me at Sebastian!

Erin, if your eyes were not gorgeous, they'd be all out-of-sync with the rest of you!

"Kinky"? Girl, you ain't even tied up in that pic! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well, naturally! Since I am not gay, I was horrible at making love with a man. I learned my lesson! (Do NOT take this post seriously!) -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Well, I wasn't...

Why, also, do we mourn when those we love die? Shouldn't we be delighted that they have gone to heaven and are at peace, eternally? I suppose it's for selfish reasons that we mourn, but it's only, I feel, because we are completely forgetting what we actually say we believe. My mother died a painful death, very premature, due to cancer. I think sometimes in sadness about what she had to endure -- it took place, after all, right there in front of me. But then I remember that what she felt is moot because she no longer is feeling that. It is of no more consequence than the fact that years ago I had a cavity that hurt, or I banged my elbow on a table. Do I feel it now? No? Then what does it matter? The current reality is all that matters, and what went before is over and done. My mom is not currently lying in a bed with cancer destroying her insides, calling out in pain. She is at perfect peace, whether that means heaven or oblivion. It's reason to

That would work. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

OMG, you both are beautiful! B-b-but she makes YOU look PALE! How is that possible?! Tell the photographer to get his camera fixed! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Wellll, if they were out gettin' toasted and goin' home with some dude we felt was unworthy of their beauty, we'd be pissed off then too! Better that she's home alone with her wine and waiting for ME! "I'm a-comin', baby!!!"

Not if you call her "VSG"... I think she prefers avoidance of that acronym, just so ya know. (LOL, I reminded myself of how Ray Barone's wife says that to him on "Everybody Loves Raymond": "Just so ya know, Ray..." when she's being kinda bitchy.) -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Really? The title was the reason I had no idea wtf was in the thread, and that's why I had to be prodded into coming to see it... Have to say I'm glad I did, though! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I'll oblige when I get home to my computer where all my pics are stored. I can't do anything here at work... My hands are tied... (Ooooh, tied hands... Kinky! I liiiike) -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

The one that my friend in West Palm Beach took cost her like $250 and was like THREE DAYS LONG. I would like to take it, because as I understand it you get the motorcycle driver's license endorsement from taking and passing the class. I don't have an immediate plan to get a bike, but I would like to be ready with the license in case I ever do. Are the classes you folks are talking about multi-day classes also? -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I know that the songs they usually put on tandem videos are often not ones that I think are so good... I was thinking about this recently, and came up with a few songs that I think are great atmosphere songs for skydives... Bush - "Comedown" U2 - "Indian Summer Sky" Collective Soul - "The World I Know" Boxelder - "Fly" (Google it!) David Lee Roth - "Stand Up" -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

That is too adorable! I can just imagine a 3-year-old boy singing the Beatles. It's a funny image. GET IT ON VIDEO AND ENTER A CONTEST WITH IT! Especially if he is like just playing with his Legos or something and singing "Michelle My Belle" to himself idly. That sounds so cute! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I don't own a bike, never have, but I have ridden a few times and know that I can ride a motorcycle (and want to). I agree with kelp here; I think that anyone can handle a vehicle of any power amount -- you just need the freakin' discipline to not go crazy with it. It's a matter of "you don't have to use all the power the bike has." Stupid people would hurt themselves on a 250 just as easily. Can't a 250 go more than 70mph? Can't you kill yourself on a motorcycle at 30mph? I mean come on, sooner or later we have to realize you blame the rider for his conduct, not the bike for being too tempting. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

But...it's about the only guaranteed money. 11mil were incentives for high numbers, and the team can cut him any year and not pay the salary. This isn't baseball - football contracts are pretty one way. If he doesn't recover, he won't be earning most of this 40mil. Paying back 4 may represent more than half the money he's taken to date. (which might still be pretty sweet) This is where his guidance counselor would say, "You should have stayed in school, gone on to college, got your degree, and not counted on professional sports to make you a living." Of course, I don't know that he didn't. I'm just saying that it's folly to EVER expect that you can make it long enough in pro ball to set yourself up for life. It'd be like a stripper who is hot now spending all the money she makes now, and expecting that when she's 48 she can still be making it. Bad planning. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

not even close.... This is gonna be one of those "We have to agree to disagree" things. When skydiving goes right, we don't impact anything very hard. And despite the fact that we know that unforeseen, unaffectable variables can throw things into chaos, it is generally not that hard to see to it that skydives go right. On the other hand, if you play professional football, you KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET HIT, AND HARD, EVERY TIME YOU PLAY. That's a given, and it is very very hard to make sure that every hit you take happens in such a way as to not damage, injure, maim, or kill you. I am still going to go with my statement, that playing football for the same people who say he may not skydive, is more of a danger to his well-being than skydiving would be. Obviously, we are talking of the difference between POTENTIAL and LIKELIHOOD. Skydiving has the potential to make us hit the ground at high speed, killing us. It does not have the likelihood of doing so. Football has both the potential AND the likelihood of having 300 lb. muscular men run into you at full speed, with the direct intention of knocking you down (and often the intention to hurt you). I don't know about you, but I don't go to the DZ thinking that I am going to not be coming home. That goes to the perception of the likelihood of my having an injury or fatality. I simply would not do it if I didn't think I could do it safely, or at the very least, with reasonable expectation of success. It's not a death wish, for me; it's a life wish. I live when I skydive. I would not be so reckless with my body, however, as to put it on a field with professional football players. More kids are severely injured or killed each year from football injuries than from gunshots. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Many of the problem drivers simply don't have a license! I guess you could say that's one of my buttons. Lately, I am making a real effort at ... well, not eliminating having buttons... but any reaction that the button might otherwise get, has to be put through a mental relay that checks to see if the button-effect is reasonable. Like, for instance, you get a flat tire. That's a button that might make someone all frustrated and enraged. I have that button, sure. But these days I'm more likely to mentally disconnect the button after realizing, "What's the use in getting angry? Just get to work fixing the damned thing."
