  1. Yep...when I needed work done on my original they gave me a replacement which was a refurb. It has been running strong for over a year.
  2. and that won't give him all his options in St.Louis MO area. Personaly you can go to eather Archway in Vandalia, IL or Quantum Leap in Sullivan, MO and you will be treated profesionaly and be taken on a great first jump. They are both excelent dropzones and both "know what they are doing". It's just a matter of where your coming from in the St.Louis, MO if you want the closest. I used to jump at Vandalia...loved it there. I am on a temporary hiatus from jumping due to being on probation at work. But as I said...both places are great DZ's.

  3. or just lucky. personaly I think we need to ban all these guns. that way me and my coworkers will be the only ones left with guns. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  4. I can and did for the year that I owned my previous stick. it is a beautifull thing to be able to shift effortlessly without pushing the damn clutch in. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  5. Yep...and love it. It is really to bad that now a days in the US you actually really need to look hard to find cars that offer a stick. Although there are a few US made cars that are ONLY stick. CTS-V comes to mind. yummmmmmm. But the car I want is not available in a stick. Magnum R/T from Dodge. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  6. exactly!!!! My problem is I know too much due to my profesion. It doesn't help matters. Plus there is the whole I'm there to protect her thing. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  7. An unfortunate run in with our 12yr old....Not a good day. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  8. She did great. fixed the ACL, yanked a third of her patellar tendon off to make it, then fixed some other bits n pieces here and there. all is well...although she's hurting like hell. and I'm stuck at the firehouse. What is odd though is how scared I was when she was in there...never thought i'd get so worked up over her going under the knife. I think i was more freaked out than her...even if she never knew it. had to show a strong front for my bride. Oh..and thanks again to sangiro for introducing us 4yrs ago. peace to all, Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  9. I had a patient recently get killed by a fork. It was one of those big BBQ forks...but is that next on the to be banned list? This is an absolutely crazy idea over there. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  10. He was great. So wish I could see his girlfriend play. Tristan Prettyman rocks and then some!!!!
  11. No...I'M a DOLL!!!!!!! Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  12. Yes...I really do have the greatest job in the world.
  13. My wife went to MIT...i did not. she is DEFINATLY smarter than I. BUT then again I was smart enough to marry her so does that make me a little mart at least??? and no....i'm not intimidated at all.
  14. I use mine everyday at work. works unbelievable for being only the size of a mini maglight. I have the G2 nylatron one. best investment I ever did...especially considering the places I go into on a daily basis at work. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  15. Curious why my post got deleted...there was no personal attack in it what so ever. just a statement of fact. welcome to Rec.dz.com Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  16. Just found out yesterday that the mother of my daughter.(she was not a GF,wife, or anything to me) stole my identity using my SS number. she opened up a phone account. problem being that it's the weekend. my police dept. basicly told me to go pound stones since the actually "theft" happened in Ohio and I live in St.Louis county. my world is spinning right now. totally sucks. other problems are what do I tell my daughter about all of this. I never talk badly about her mom regardless of the fact I could...it just really sux right now. thanks for letting me vent. And thank god for Anne(fallinwoman), because with out her i'd totally be hosed. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  17. I got a good rush this morning when I pulled a gun off a patients bed...then got a nice little brush fire...then another couple of ambulance calls...then a transformer that blew. you know what...I really don't get a rush anymore. now it's more of a paranoia about getting sued by some lawyer for the way I treated or didn't treat a patient or how we fought or didn't fight a fire right or wrong. but in the end. being a firefighter/paramedic is the worlds best job.
  18. People will die on this mountain regardless of commercial operations or not. It is a nature of the beast. Just like people will continue to die on any 8,000 meter peak. Life sucks that high. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  19. sorry but when you are on an 8,000+ meter peak, the life support equipment you have up there is for you...and you alone. when you are on the Lhotse face , South Col or higher you are in the death zone. it is that simple. it is bad that this guy died...but he was unguided and solo. He made some errors in judgement caused by his hypoxia for sure. unfortunately that's one of the possibilities of an 8000 meter peak. and just like skydiving, you know those risks before you go that high.

  20. Some light reading on the subject of car salesmen/women from edmunds.com http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/articles/42962/page001.html Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  21. my wife and i did research on our new car. found the blue book dealer price for the make, model, milage, options for our car. a true honest offer. not tryint to fuck anyone over. yes it was lower than what they were selling it for. I went in there with the mentality that it is very easy for us to walk out the door. We gave the guy the offer....he got pissed. then went off. then huffed and puffed...walked out the door to talk to his "manager". then came back in and only shook my wifes hand. she did no negotiation at all. This guy refused...absolutely refused to shake my hand...even when I stuck my hand out. We did buy the car. THEN they even got more pissed when we said we were going to pay CASH for our pacifica. I despise car salesmen.... good thing about being a fireman....just about everyone loves us. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  22. oh yeah...forgot to mention..i HATE CATS!!!!
  23. also notice he's got some extra toes just like our other polydactal freak....all the much better to steal some popcorn and such... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  24. They're just jealous of the submariners.... Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
  25. Here's one of our freak cats going after my chinese food. gotta love it. Marc otherwise known as Mr.Fallinwoman....
