I think a living will for the Pope is a non-starter. If he refuses treatment isn't he in effect committing suicide? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

QuoteHe has no living will either I guess he'll just let the Lord decide for him. Quote But who gets to decide about removing the feeding tube he now has? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Closing pin Jewelry tradition/faux pas
IanHarrop replied to huka551's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
In my experience the tradition associated with closing pin necklaces is that they are appropriate for anyone that has made a freefall jump. If you've pull your own pin, you get to wear the necklace. Edited to add: It's just a necklace, people should lighten up! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy -
Hey I like this! One thought if you're looking for ideas for changes/improvements: It might be nice to be able to enter dates for more than 1 rig, say up to 5 to cover the really hardcore or families that have more than 1 jumper. Would be neat if one could name the rigs when more than one rig is being monitored. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

This post a couple of hours before your post said he read it on their site. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1548180#1548180 I looked and its there, right in the middle, about an inch down from Renewal notice at the top.

Have you been engaged or married before and aren't now??
IanHarrop replied to girlygirl's topic in The Bonfire
That's easy, I was married for 16 years, got custody of my son and this is what I learned: - NEVER get married again! In the words of Tom Waits: All my friends are married, every Tom and Dick and Harry You must be strong if you're to go it alone Here's to the bachelors and the bowry bums And those that think that they're the ones who are better off without a wife I been sleepin' until the crack of noon Midnight howlin' at the moon Goin' out when I want to, and I'm comin' home when I please Don't have to ask permission I wanna go out fishin' Never have to ask for the keys... I don't mind going to weddings as long as they're not my own. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy -
I like this line - "she heard a sound like that of a plane hovering overhead" I know this is possible with a Harrier but what are the chances a plane was hovering overhead? "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

I don't know anything more than what I have read in the Lost Prairie thread. You might check this out: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1542138#1542138 Others may have better information.

You might consider FedEx. I have had issues with UPS where they have left things outside my door without requiring a signature and where anyone could have walked up and taken them. Never had this problem with FedEx. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Read this article, specifically point 9. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=81 It will help you understand the value of this great tradition. Welcome to skydiving

Finally some humor in this thread! I think this topic has been discussed to death and no one that has an opinion is going to change their opinion because of this discussion. So here's some more humor that may (or may not) be appropriate to this thread (and I really do mean this as humor, so please don't get bent out of shape).

I'll add one thing to what Jose said above. Use the Search function Many of the questions asked by those that are new have been asked and answered many times. I was away from skydiving for 16 years and came back a couple of years ago. In that time lots of things changed. One of the best things learning tools was this forum and the search function. I found that most of what I wanted to know could be easily looked up and it meant that I got immediate answers to my questions without having to wait for someone to respond. Give it try, it works like a top

I knew it was going to require a woman to answer this question. Many men, myself included, are aware of the primary colors. So we understand yellow and in our minds lemons are yellow, or maybe "off" yellow as they get old and start to go bad. That's when they turn brown.

Next drug litigation goldmine for mass tort lawyers...
IanHarrop replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
Good !!! Maybe they'll stop giving it to kids just because they behave like kids! I think this drug is used because parents can't, or won't, discipline their kids resulting in bad behaviour that a doc then fixes with drugs!

I think you need to be punished for having dealt with these numbers so liberally in the past and now should have to update them one-at-a-time. So start incrementing the numbers by 1 "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

Are you expecting to be in the will? Do you have any other siblings that could get all the money? Is your mother really old and will there be time for her to forgive you before she dies? These are the kind of points that must be considered when choosing to either go visit your mother and spend quality time with her or go visit your mother and then fuck off to the dz and play with your friends.
