I LOVE your story! Thank you, thank you! My god, what a SMART thing to do! and your right about I found that out earlier in life when I had a problem collecting some money owed on construction from Tommy Lee & Pamela Anderson a few years ago!

That's what I'm sayin! but it still doesn't feel good ya know?

how typical! I have to agree that they should be able to say pretty much what they want, after all if it we're SLANDER they could be sued for that... but they shouldn't be sued or quashed just for stirrin up sh&*t! edited to add: and who is gonna pay the bill for this obvious waste of time?

Glad to know that I'm not completely wrong here... I wish that it were easier... and to think it's only the second Invoice he's ever gotten from me in a year! better to squash this behavior now huh? thanks for the support... what would I do without my dz.com friends..

[rant]Ok, so I'm mad. I have a client, who is also a "friend" This is the 2nd time he's neglected to pay his bill in a timely manner.. we made a verbal agreement on the phone a month ago for payment, he didn't live up to it After a week of being "blown off" I decided to enforce my payment collection policies and his website is now offline, after being more than 30 days past due. I'm sure he's gonna be pissed, but what am I supposed to do? I'm pissed too.. he used our friendship as a paun in this whole thing. Am I wrong here... I was counting on that payment to pay rent, now I have to scramble. I offered an immediate payment option via credit card/pay pal and assured him the site would go live again as soon as he pays (which I will honor) but how terrible it had to come to this!!!! Am I wrong? Has anyone else had an experience like this, from either perspective??? [/rant]

I have had years of practice with this sort of thing.. ex husband was irresponsible and my now husband's ss# is nearly identical to his brother whos names are nearly identical as well, caused LOTS of problems.. Chances are, this is all really a mistake, a paperwork glitch, unfortunatlely, it doesn't feel like that. I know What you have to do to get these off your reports is to deal with the REPORTING AGENCY. There are forms, different ones from each agency, that you have to fill out for an investigation.. it takes time and diligence, but if your truly in the right, you'll get through it. Turns out a couple of our things ended up truly being ours.. but when your blood is boiling it's hard to think clearly. They SAY it's supposed to resolve within a couple of months, but honestly, but it took nearly an entire year to really straighten things out for me... always missing people, more lost forms, no answer here, etc. There are procedures, and also agencies online that will do this hard work for you, if you so desire.. but I'm a do-it-yourselfer and wouldn't hear of such a thing myself. Good luck and be patient, you will need it. I do think the drop dead letter is fine, make sure you send any correspondance with a return receipt requested, signature required. I hate the Credit Demons. Wish I had a vanquishing spell for them!

So sorry your grounded so to speak for a while! Heal fast and take chances!!!

Hi Darksteppa1! I think everyone should enjoy wind tunnels from time to time, so go for it! (of course I'm biased in that respect ) If you still feel after that your not ready to go AFF, then do another tandem. There is no race to the finish here... staying in your comfort zone is very important! Good luck and see around the forums! Keep us all posted!

Is it possible to FIND some of those tandem students... and what about any of his 'students' etc... any of them still in the industry somewhere? Anyone have any pictures of him in the sky? Videos? I saw a couple of logbook entries somewhere else.. (note to self, go find logbook entries).. Bring on the info.. Freefall for Freedom oh, and billvon.. you ROCK! Let's see if we can DO this!!!!

I've put in an email to a friend for the DZ... let's see what happens, they got a good load of planes too... and we need EVERYONE to get everyone ELSE excited about it! I love the slogans, keep them coming, I've started designing already.. full credit to the idea people of course I like the tandem shots especially... Bush then Kerry then... trusting Michael etc... only wouldn't specify only 3,000.. just "thousands" sounds like more.

[closing door quietly on my way out]

I also can't help but think the whole "I got Jumped by Badnarik" is just too funny... playing on the whole tandem thing... saw that in an earlier thread.. too funny!

that means it's still possible... "Don't FALL for the hipocrisy, Freefall for Freedom"

How about we organize an entire "Freefall for Freedom" event... a political boogie.. too hard to do?

Ahem.. I can help... going to look through my notes again...

Hey Barguy!! Way to go getting on with student training and getting to your A license! I'll keep my eyes peeled for when you do complete your test!!! Our skydiving family is the best, and it is ALWAYS growing, I'm glad your experience has also been warm & receptive! And now your a part of the dz.com family, too! Keep at it and I'll see you around the forums!!! Look us up when your in the Smokies sometime! Be at peace!

guy walks up and pulls out his front pockets on his pants.. holds them proudly out to the side as if to say "I'm flat broke" and instead says.. "Ever kiss a rabbit between the ears?" worked on me

If you own a Microsoft program which you probably do if you own a PC then you can go to microsoft's Design Gallery online and download clipart, photos, sound, videos etc... lots of stuff really, I go there all the time when I don't want to create my own graphics. dgl.microsoft.com oh and by the way... I didn't get to say bye to you before we left Florida, so BYE and HI on the forums!!!

We could all do our part to support his campaign. The internet when used correctly can be a VERY cost effective way of obtaining support. I created a Badnarik ad of my own, placed it on our Bodyflight Network site home page, as well as created a page which explains our views a bit and provides links over to Michael's site. I donated the ad to the campaign and have volunteered whatever services I can provide. If we all did something to help, it would certainly add up. Maybe just maybe in the NEXT election, they wouldn't consider my vote a 'throw away' anymore.

misread

DOH!

If I were to hazard a guess... Seeing all your posts is similar to doing a search for posts by a member (with the click of only 1 button) and each of those scores represent relevance to the search string..a standard function/feature of the gforum software... So apparently, the way I read it, we're only about 98% accurate

I was gonna say the same thing! I LOVE GOONIES!!! Welcome to the Forums C_Copperpot, see you in the trenches!

I'll be there for sure!!!

I couldn't possibly scroll through them all, but so far my favorites are: Dumb & Dumber & The Shady Bunch
