Unfortunately, there's been a whole string of them lately, plus comments. Its old, its supid, its childish. Enough already!
-
You know, I really don't get all the cat abuse threads and posts on here lately. What's wrong with everyone? How is abusing animals funny? I guess its "popular" to hate cats or something but give it a rest why don't you?!
-
That's the best suggestion so far.
-
OMG! What is wrong with this forum today? Between this and the anal bleaching thread, I feel ill! Where's the hurl icon when we need it?

NOT for a first date. Even if his intentions are good, the girl might get the wrong idea and get spooked. Take her to a place you like- nothing too fancy or expensive or loud or crowded, but also not too intimate or cavelike. Not for a first date, anyway.

There's no shuttle service, but contacting manifest isn't a bad idea anyway. Also, post it on the SDC bulletin board and you might have some luck. Which airport anyway?

I actually really love carnitas- just not the assorted "parts" that come with them!
-
Breaking skin is NOT cool. Sounds like he is bored and does not know his own strength. I'd suggest more toys, a scratching post and setting aside some play time for him every day to burn off that excess energy. Plus, odd as it sounds, the "time outs" work. He's doing it for attention, so if instead he gets the opposite reaction, he'll figure it out.
-
Whne my guy picks up carnitas from the little Mexican store on the corner, he always tries to get an ear. I think they're NASTY!

Chances are, your water IS better. My cats do that too sometimes. You could always use one of those squeeze bottles instead of a glass. That way there won't be any unpleasant surprises when they knock it over at 3:00am!

OK- a serious answer. IGNORE him. When he does it, tell him NO firmly and loudly, then pick him up and take him out of the room and close the door and don't pay attention to him for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Keep doing it. He'll get the message. Unfortunately, the fact that you fund it "cute" the first few times and probably gave in and played with him for a while reinforced the behaviour. He needs to learn he won't get what he wants when he acts like that. And I assume by biting you aren't talk about breaking skin or drawing blood- more like a nibble? BTW- is he declawed? Seems to me that cats that have been declawed have a tendency to become biters.

If he is already...........do it again..........with a rusty fork. Just remember Bo- you asked for this advice!

That sounds right. My first 2 or 3 trips for service (oil change, etc.) were covered. And the power train is under warranty for 100,000 miles. I've had some issues with the dealer where I bought the car, but that was the dealership, not the car. (And they don't just sell VWs!) I had a Saturn before my bug and as much as I'd LIKE to talk them up, I really can't. I had a lot of problems with that car. I can blame some of it on hard miles that my job forced me to put on it, but that doesn't account for all of it. I don't think I would buy another Saturn, but I'd buy another VW. (or an Audi- aren't they made by the same company?)

I've got a Beetle and I love it. Its 6 years old now and I haven't had any major problems with it. The upkeep costs aren't bad. They only require oil changes every 10,000 miles. I've had front and rear brakes done- my expense, and I had to replace the battery. That and routine service. So, its a bigger bill less often, but I'm not shelling out money every 3 months for an oil change! I did need to bring it in and pay a mechanic to replace a headlight/ lamp. The way the car is designed, its just too hard for a non-mechanic to get at! (the may be true of a lot of newer cars, though!) Oh, and the VW medallion on the hood of the car was stolen twice before I bought my house and started parking it in a garage!

Someone needs to refresh my memory regarding the pull up chords and "my friend has cancer". Please???
-
OK, I thought the T-Shirt thing was resolved and I didn't know about the other stuff. Besides, she's STILL posting here as Justaflygirl!
-
Yeah really. Because while I remember the multiple user names and questionable posts, I don't understand the issue with selling a car.
-
I'll second that. Water and gatorade during the day is always appreciated.
-
Jeth- if 4 or 6 way scrambles are on the calendar, make a point of going!
-
Or Tequila!

As far as I know, beer is OK in the hangar after the last load has taken off. No one will say anything about drinking your own beer at the Tiki or in the Skybar but common sense says they might have a problem bringing a whole case up. BUT- if you ask first and let Genie or the bartender know you brought up a case to pay your "beer debt" (as a one time thing) I seriously doubt they would have a problem with it. A case won't last that long anyway, and when the "free" beer runs out, the bar will have plenty for sale. Problem solved!
-
I would definitely avoid getting on Genie's bad side! (Jeth- are you listening?)
-
People do bring cases to SDC. But we've also got two bars, a huge campground and several different "party" areas within the campground. Since so many of the experienced jumpers have trailers, we tend to head to the campground after jumping.
-
Actually, I don't think they would mind if you had a case over at the Tiki. Lots of us even bring our own to the skybar. (usually not by the case, but one at a time) There's also the pavillion, bonfire, or the other bonfire by Frankie's bus- across from the pavillion. OR at the end of the day (like after last load takes off, but there's still people around packing and stuff) you can bring a cooler into the hangar. Anyway, aside from the fact that skydivers love free beer, the IDEA behind it is that you share the beer with other skydivers and they share their "wisdom", experiences, stories, friendship, etc. with you. Bill Von actually wrote up something really nice about the Beer Rules if I'm not mistaken, and I bet if you ask him nicely, he'll post it again. Of course, if MANIFEST busts you for landing on the taxiway, the beer goes to them.

Bytch NEVER used the F word. You did- you buy!
