Oh no, I understood where he is coming from. He is CLUELESS. Spend a night with me treating people who can't breath through no fault of their own. Yes, i admit it is easy to take a gaff and blow it up out of proportion. But as Ron White says, "you can't fix stupid" Getting away from his stupid comment, there are lots of things I don't like about our health care system, I just don't want him being the one telling you and me how to fix them. Doc "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Exactly. He is clueless "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

And I quote, from seconds ago: "Americans shouldn't have to go to the ER for treatable conditions, like asthma" What the fuck? Have you ever had an asthma attack Barak Hussein Obama??? Geez, I can't wait for him to manage our health care!! Doc "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

That is certainly your choice, and not an unreasonable one. But your first post also talked about your opinion that it is only to make $ for the drug companies. Now I am NOT a big advocate of the drug companies, but when you can get a flu shot at Costco for $10, I don't think this is a blockbuster deal for the manufacturers. "We saved your gear.

Hey Roo, I respectfully disagree. The flu vaccine is reasonable priced. Flu kills thousands every year - although mostly the elderly with other serious medical problems. But influenza can kick your butt big time, many young, healthy people miss a week or more of work, and are wiped out for weeks more. I see tons of healthy peiple who wish they had had their flu shots each winter. But I agree with Billy vVthat it is most useful in the young, elderly, and chronically ill. Each year the fly vaccine is a guess as to what strains will be prevalent. Last years vaccine was only 50% protective. I get it every year, but I get exposed a lot at work, too.

Recently bought a new pilot 168 for my wife for 1595, custom colors. I would not consider 1425 for a used canopy with someone elses colors. But there is a fool born every minute, good luck "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Wowza. You both had me there. I was about ready to call out for SkyMama to intervene "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Very good news - here's to hoping Florida keeps up the tradition of using the death penalty!! "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

John, We are thinking about you. Sorry to hear about your Dad - I lost mine last year, and it is never easy. Peace and condolences to your family also. Ed "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

I'd vote for someone else just due to your deception "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Linz, Recover fast, jump soon, be a good patient Ed "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Some sort of thong theme would be appropriate "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Gives new meaning to one of my favorite sayngs: Eat Shit and Die!! "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Quote That's not what happened!!! You weren't there!!! I was told but I'm not gonna post it. I was a heck of a lot closer than you!! And have personally interviewed eyewitnesses! I think you are just attempting to defend the behavior of the subject in question. He is a big boy, and can defend himself. Doc PS Do you still have a job, Bolassss?? Hope your 401K was not all in banking stock! "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

The USPA has not been notified, but the FAA (Finest Assholes of America) are sending a representative to interwiew witnesses to determine if the jump was through clouds (of smoke). "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Again, People - lets keep away from thread drift and keep to the topic There is much to be learned here, let's keep focused! "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Duhhhhhhh - pure speculation, but multiple witnesses have told me that the estimate of 0.18 may be a very conservative estimate of the ethanol loading, and it could have been as high as 0.24. Now i personally have seen the victim at an even higher wing - er ethanol loading whilst driving his Toyota tundra (black) at a high rate of speed over bumpy Montana roads while I tried to unsuccessfully keep from spilling my fucking Lang Stout on my brand new Lang T-shirt, hence my sig line "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Please - let's keep this thread focused to the injury so we cal all learn and prevent future carnage. Boobie talk is NOT appropriate here. "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

Last weekend we had an incident at the Ritz (West Plains Skydiving, Ritzville, WA) A well known, local S&TA decided he could fire walk at the bonfire, was having some balance problems (I assume from some vertigo from an inner ear problem but I can't be sure), and during said firewalk, the S&TA fell, suffering a large gash on his shin area of his leg. Tequila was reportedly used to cleanse the wound, bandages applied, and the next day an eminent skydiving physician, Dr. Pete Hill evaluated the wound and said "fuck it, you will live". No students were reportedly involved in this botched landing, this skydiver with close to 2000 jumps apparently botched the approach all by him self, and no blame should be laid on the Kokanee sucking students or experienced jumpers at the scene. Names have not yet been released pending notification of kin and Muttley. Please refrain from personal attacks, and lets all pull together wishing for a full recovery. Stats: Jumps - about 2K Ethanol loading - estimated at 0.18 Experience level at said ethanol loading - extensive with only previous scrapes and bruises Conditions: Clear, new moon, flickering lights Hear is to a full and speedy recovery to the injured party. Doc PS This is what you get for interupting our carnal events to report your dumb ass behavior - not once but 3 times "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "

V was slurring her speech at the bonfire.

Uh, Jason, that shit is greek to me. I must say, Valinda impressed the heck out of me. Ya need some Valium or Hydro's to help while you figger this one out????? If you go into atrial fibrillation, or somethin, give me a shout and maybe I can act intelligent about something. Doc "We saved your gear. Now you can sell it when you get out of the hospital and upsize!!" "K-Dub" "
