PC for Pilot Chute - PC means ParaComander !!! Damn young'ins need to know history "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

You should be able to find something with a search. There was a bunch of them loaned to the deaf folks recently during the DWR and I recall some posts about the L&B products after that. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Ahhhhhh...............the traditional Jewish menu I see. It was just awfully hard to find a damn restaurant that was open I figured for sure that some of the regular Chinese places would be open but no such luck, don't any Buddhists run restaurants? I would have looked for a Kosher place but this is redneck country and the Jews have figured out that they damn well better celebrate Christmas like the rest of the good people do So that left me, a practising non believer and my Catholic girl friend looking for any place that was open after a day on the ski slopes celebrating the birth of Christ by engaging gravity, snow and boards.

Sushi !!! That's what I had for Christmas last year too

I don't think his type would be able to get into the Catholic church in the first place. And don't bother with the obvious Catholic priest molester jokes...those guys should burn. Still, Pat Robertson seems to be one of the most misquoted people in the news today. Bias or just sloppy reporting? So the article quoted at the beginning of this thread is inaccurate?

How can you say that about poor Pat? After all he's a friend of President Bush who has also called for the teaching of Intelligent Design in schools. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

I agree with you. Unfortunately he's not likely to respond to you here as he has said he is not going to monitor this thread. PM him your question and may be he'll respond. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Well I got a response when I PM'ed him the question above as previously posted. Unfortunately SkyRide's history means I question his honesty. He may be new, he may be honest but unfortunately SkyRide's history means he's got a credibility problem. Here is his response. Per his previous posting, I am free to post this: ++++ Hi Ian, Yes, when we got a link to the video clip, someone from 1800SkyRide contacted Mr. Gephardt yesterday. I am not sure where the breakdown in communication occurred on this one, but no one here seems to have a record of him calling us at all. We saw the clip and had someone call him yesterday. He indicated to our representative that he does not plan to do a follow up anytime soon, so I don't expect that anyone will ever air a balanced version of the story. FYI, the refund check that was issued to this customer was done before we knew of this reporter's interest in the matter. This customer did not purchase the upgrade to her tickets/gift certificate that would have made the ticket refundable, so her original request for a refund was denied according to normal company procedure. She requested an appeal which was reviewed on 09/15/05, at which time the details of her case were more closely examined and her refund request was approved. Her refund check was mailed the following day. As far as the BBB reports, I know we have people here who have been working very closely to correct inaccuracies on the report. Our procedure dictate that all BBB complaints should be addressed on the day they are received, and responses should be mailed the following business day. Ian, I appreciate you contacting me. Sincerely, Jeff Golden ++++ "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

There's even a book that covers the story.... read a review. http://www.endlessfall.net/MM017.ASP?pageno=36 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Oh it looks good now BUT in the long run you're screwed - how are you ever going to top this next year? So next year will be a BIG disappointment, and the downward spiral begins....
