I know that's a joke, but seriously, its not that different from what I see on days when we're allowed to wear jeans to the office! Someone always ruins it!
-
That's so 80s! And back then I wanted to try it, but never did! I didn't even know they were still around! But if bell bottoms, gogo boots and polyester can come back, why not flotation tanks!

The bigger question is Does Fabio CARE?

In a few weeks, your Monday nights will be free again. Might as well just make Monday 24 night for a while! This season can stand on its own, but in order to really understand some of the relationships, you need to go back to the earlier seasons! (Jack/ Audrey, Tony/Michelle, former President Palmer/ Mike Novick, (new president's adviser).

I got the Ike and the Stevenson confused once and ended up in Schaumburg on my way to Orland Park. (I do much better with the numbers also!) Of course, my theory is that ALL roads lead to Schaumburg! Its evil, I tell you!
-
I won't answer the phone during 24 and most of my friends know this! Now that you are hooked, have you watched the first 3 seasons yet?

I always knew Cloe had a "dark side"! Scott- rent or buy the dvds. Start with Season 1, episode 1, then keep going. Cloe doesn't show up until Season 3, and she'll spend most of that season annoyng the crap out of you! Its all good though, because as it turns out, the chick RAWKS! Don't even bother tuning in to season 4 at this point! Hopefully next year, there will be a season 5 and you'll be all caught up ready to watch!

I like what the "cosmetic" dentists are doing with veneers now. If I could afford it, I *might* consider something like that.

And gives a damn fine movie review too!

Do you ever listen to the Regular Guy's movie reviews on WXRT?
-
I think a lot of male 24 fans killed some kittens last night thinking about that image of Cloe with the machine gun!

OMG- I barely knew what SEX was when I was 15. Oral sex? I think I was in college before I knew what that was! Kids these days!
-
Step away from the 24 thread! Cloe ROCKS!

You know, on the one hand I think its creepy and gross BUT they're not children, they are consenting adults. Its still gross and technically illegal, but criminal charges? I mean, aren't there drug dealers, murderers and child molesters to deal with?

A day for our lost brothers and sisters...

If I'm not mistaken, Safety Day was started as a memorial/ reminder of our fallen jumpers. Perhaps even one in particular? -
Well, one of my closest friends is someone I met at work more than 10 years ago. Where I work right now, no one really hangs out or socializes after work, and I think that's kind of sad. I mean, I have my own life and my own friends, but I don't see the harm in an ocassional beer or trip to the gym. I think you are making too much of this. Go to the gym with her. What's the harm?

Too funny! There is no way any of my cats would tolerate that! Even when they are sleeping, they're really still a little bit awake. They'd just shake off whatever I managed to put on them, move to a different part of the sofa and go back to sleep!
-
Yeah, I just made a one year supply last for 2. I hate going to any kind of doctor- its a nuisance!

I've always gone through Pearle Vision because I usually got a pretty decent discount from my insurance. Also, they've never given me my prescription to fill somewhere else, but with the discount form the insurance, I never really pushed either. Well, this week, I'm getting a new perscription and apparantly they've gotten in trouble for not giving patients their perscriptions so now they HAVE to give me mine. Plus, my insurance company has gotten cheap and all I got was a $25.00 discount off my exam, no free eyeglasses, no discount on the lenses! So, is 1-800-contacts the way to go? Costco carries my brand too. Just looking for opinions!

Buy a sunscreen called Sea Safe at your local dive shop. It stays on in the water, its safe for aquatic life and also protects your from jellyfish stings. Obviously whatever you used wasn't water resistant and/or you didn't reapply frequently enough! SeaSafe will stay on all day.

Years, huh? Actually, isn't it the pilot that would get into the most trouble?

How about Memorial Day- isn't that a day to remember all of our friends and family who are no longer with us? Then of course, there's Day of The Dead, celebrated in Mexico on November 1. -
Its pretty split, but I personally know of two incidents- neither fatal but both involving serious injuries- where cutting away first CAUSED a main reserve entanglement and left the jumper with little to no options to clear it. If you asked either one of them what they would do in that situation if it happened again, they'd go for silver and they consider themselves lucky to be able to answer the question. I'd personally rather deal with 2 out than an entanglement. And if they opened entangled, at least you'd have a chance at cutting away the main. The only real advantage I see to cutting away first is to keep your emergency procedures consistent. Just my opinion- flame away.

When was your last jump? And will your next jump be at the same dz? Your home dz? If so that really shouldn't be an issue, honestly.

lol So true!
