The sunroof on my Saturn broke twice on me and I only had the car 5 years. The first time it was under warranty and the second time, it cost over $300.00 to fix. I did love having a sunroof, but twice in 5 years? The car I replaced it with doesn't have one! Sorry, no advice, just commiserating!

Its the Cub's curse. We trade them, they go to another team and suddenly remember how to play ball!
-
Its wrong, mean spirited and definitely not funny.
-
What's with the blonde comment? Or the "silly female" for that matter?! Glad you are OK, but the tone of your post is demeaning to women skydivers!
-
If you have to ask, you probably already know the answer!

Difference from a 280 down to a 170?
tigra replied to artistcalledian's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
More like a station wagon to a Corvette- my Beetle is pretty zippy! (Unless you're talking about the old ones!) -
Just try not to confuse that shreak of pain and disgust with an orgasm!
-
Not that I disagree with what you are saying but some people would find anal sex to be both dangerous AND humiliating. Any act you're not comfortable doing is potentially humiliating.

Well, yeah, if you didn't get the message the first time.

Maybe she faked it to get you to stop.

I like her, but I thought it was wrong of her to diss Booby Jon and talk about how his celebration was "so gay"! At least she admitted she was jealous! And I think Bobby Jon looked genuinely happy for her when her team finally won a challenge-disgusted with Jamie, but happy for her! I *think* the teams are a little more even now, but she's still stuck with Judd and Jamie who talk about how tough and strong they are but always seem to fall short! Last week it was Judd who lost a challenge almost singlehandedly, and this week it was Jamie. I'd be frustrated too!

OK, I read in the recaps that he did, but the final vote wasn't counted and I missed that part. Well, good for Bobby Jon*! That really was one of the more satisfying vote outs so far- nothing against Blake really, like I said, it just makes the show more interesting. (I hate to bash a fellow skydiver, especially since he might be reading this!) *I actually think Bobby Jon is looking up to Gary like a father figure! And how about Lydia on the other side? She's becoming quite the team cheerleader and she sure did a good job with the catapult thingie!
-
Exactly! Someone in Danni's shoes did the right thing by getting rid of him early so she can work on a new alliance. She's been keeping Gary's secret since she switched tribes and he denied it- she knows better, she's just holding on to that information until she can use it better! And I don't think Bobby Jon actually voted for Blake, he just made it clear he didn't care if anyone else did. That leaves farmer Brandon as the odd man out!
-
Even Bobby Jon turned on him after giving his word, and that's something he never did last season. I'm thinking he was even worse in person 24/7. And bragging at tribal counsel about how good he felt and how he slept through the storm probably didn't help matters. (And I'm sure out in the real world, he's a great guy! That's just a tough environment, not just the heat, bugs, hunger and physical challenges, but throwing such different people together in such close quarters. Its bound to bring the worst out in some people!) This will make the rest of the season a LOT more interesting! The teams are more even, and old Nakum members have turned on their former tribemates on both sides. The "loser" tribe is looking pretty good right now! Guess that's the advantage (for the viewers, anyway) of flipping the tribes so early in the game!
-
I gotta admit, that was great! Bait Blake, lol! I think Brian might just go far in this show. He stays under the radar but he's pulling lots of strings, just the same! (Is it possible he gave his former tribemates a little help in the immunity challenge?) But, back to Blake- even at the end in his interview, he didn't realize he got voted out for being lazy and annoying. He thought they did it because he was "too strong a competitor"! Sorry, Blake, if you are reading this! I love when the show gets unpredictable and early alliances get blown out of the water- keeps things interesting!

If I'm not mistaken, the waiver I signed as a student and licensed jumper says I would be responsible. (also for repack costs) That said, I think its a judgement call on the DZO's part. I know I had an FXC fire (misfire) when I was still jumping rental gear, and I didn't have to pay for the repack. I might have had to pay for the freebag, but luckily a local brought it in about a week later. (and I did look for it too!)

The philosophy behind corporate America seems to be- make the problem employee miserable enough to quit. Less paperwork that way.

Well, if you are having a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, it has to be American cheese! But, velveeta isn't even cheese, is it?

No F'n Way: Store Clerk On Trial For Selling Adult Toys
tigra replied to SudsyFist's topic in Speakers Corner
Actually, I think last year they arrested a woman who did the home sales and demonstrations (you know, the f***erware parties). That was Texas also and they claimed she was arrested not for selling the products but for explaining how they were meant to be used. I'm pretty sure she was not convicted. -
Is it normal for a 200lb guy to fall this fast............on his belly?
tigra replied to Viking's topic in The Bonfire
Before you ream Dave for not asking questions before making assumptions, this was posted in the bonfire and the explanation you just provided about the experience level and planning of the other jumpers involved was not disclosed and there also wasn't a "Kids don't try this at home" type disclaimer. Viking was just bragging about his fall rate! Freefall collisions at that speed are no joking matter and Dave was right to raise the questions he did, even if you don't like HOW he did it. But, thanks for clearing up the particulars of the dive! -

Viking, You might want to invest in some coach jumps to work on fall rate and stability. Someone who is tall and thin like you should have a lot of natural range, you just need some help finding it. maura -

I hear ya, Dave. Roger Nelson used to do something similar- didn't call it chase the brick, but he'd dive out first and let 4 or 5 of us chase him. Of course, the big difference here is it was ROGER (with all his experience) laying a fast but stable base on his belly. A bunch of newbies playing high speed target practice in the air doesn't sound all that cool to me. Hope everyone involved had helmets, aads and good insurance! -
If you've already lost your security deposit, leave the couch and blame your roommate!
-
I missed something. Last I heard you were "negotiating" with your roommate about the lease and security deposit. I guess you came to an agreement, huh? Can you leave it on a neighbor's porch?
-
I agree with Casie- if you can get it out to the alley, just leave it there.
