  1. Often I see many sides to an issue. Including hypocrasy, which is what I was addressing. In other words, the poster I was responding to is insisting one thing be applicable to Bush, but gives a free pass to the one he favors/prefers. That's all I was getting at. But perhaps that's also a dead horse beaten into putrescence, in which case, I shall likely stop. But yes, I do see many sides to things, often. And make my mind up after considering many different resources and positions. But you knew that. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  2. Yes, do. I'll bring it down with me for you, if you can make it. If not, well, there are other days, yes? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  3. I am busy finishing it up tonight, darling. PM me an address to send it to, and I'll try to get it into the mail tomorrow...or if you're going to be up in this area, I could either leave it for you at my office (packaged) or something. Lemme know! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  4. Oh, lookie! You're wearing your scarf!!!!!!!! Man, it does complement your coloring perfectly! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  5. Dovie, I didn't read your post....so I am not sure what it was. But let me reassure you that you are a most amazingly beautiful woman. Especially inside. That being said. This thread explains why I am dateless. This thread explains why I am single. And this thread explains why that doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon. If ever. Sigh.

  6. You are simply amazing, Kallend. On October 11, 2000, we still had the WTC. We still had 3000 more citizens in our country. We still had not seen some of the things which would soon occur. What is amazing about you, Kallend, is your inflexibility and deliberate misunderstanding of how things work, and how things change.....but yet you'll defend Kerry voting for both sides of issues... So why can Kerry change midstream (and without the significant provocation provided in 2001), and be called good and justified, and our President can't? Seems to me your double standard is showing...inane and obvious as it is. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  7. Why, yes, yes I have been. Thanks for the clarification. I was scratching my head trying to figure it out, but computer stuff is simply beyond me...even on my "bright" days. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  8. I'm confused. You got one from my office with the dz stuff? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  9. Thanks, HH. We got a notice like that on my office email, too. Nasty virii going around....sigh... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  10. GO kick ass, Ed my friend! Here's a hint...trust yourself. You've made it this far, and you'll be just fine. I know this. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  11. And that, my friend, is the grand plan. Wheeeeeee, just two more days. Yessir, how cool will this be??? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  12. HOT DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But CYA anyway...at this point, it wouldn't hurt, right? Well done! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  13. Two points to Flyangel2. Two points to SkyMama. -1,298,739,876,093,864,561 points for Tink. Annie, you really pegged it with your nickname on your profile. I've been around here a while, and I've seen people come and go, I know a troll when I see one. Few do it with as much, um, "consistency" and lack of style as you have. If you have a problem, PM Sangiro. You know how to use PM's. Please exercise that option and keep the tripe off of the forums. I have no interest in your phobia of germs, your crippled neck because of your canopy (or was it the DZ???), and your inability to back up statements like "I was on lots of world records". If you were banned, isn't that something to think about? Why not listen to the people who banned you in the first place? We all learn...some learn harder than others, but they will eventually learn, too. Deal with it. You've caused a stink, tink, and it's time for you to take a break.

    Ah, thanks, Moody. Is this a series or a mini series? I haven't watched "regular" tv in years - I tend to stay over on the cable things.... Also, this seems to be based "loosely" on his accident, and is set in the hospital he was treated in. any idea if this is what happened? He's soooooo twisted...and he's sooooooo great. Did you read that 'Salem's Lot is being redone w/ Rob Lowe and will come out sometime this year? Someone make sure I see that, too...'cause I'm likely to miss it (like I did with Ellen Rimbauer...)

  15. Um, not sure about NY, but if you are expected to abide by policies, here at least you need to know what they are. The only way to know what they are is to get a copy, and read it. The only way to prove that you knew what they are and violated them anyway is to have a signed receipt for a copy of the policies... If they won't give you the policies, how the heck are you supposed to know what they are? And was there any mention made about the fact you filed a police report? That may be the clincher at this point. I don't think they can fire you for being a victim of a crime.... I'd talk to the Labor Board - not an attorney, but the Feds. Equal Housing or something like that...I know they carry a great deal of weight here in CA, and I suspect they would carry the same there. You may still get fired, but it's a way to get any $$ owed you. And they may push for you to keep your job. Sorry I'm not more help.

    Um, can someone fill me in? I know, I'm a dingbat, but whatever...Kingdom? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  18. Yes. I'm voting. Always do. More than that isn't necessary, but I bet you all can guess. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  19. Not sure what part you're questioning. Yes, it seems to have been written by Buchanan for a conservative publication... Did Kerry say those things? Was it "Nixon's War"? What part (or is it all?) specifically do you have questions about? Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  20. Hi, Jim. I have this special tee shirt that I wore last night to sleep in...kept you close to my heart. Hopefully you are in recovery, and having really good drugs. You're in my thoughts and prayers, and I know you will be just fine. Just fine, my southern friend. And soon, once you're healed, you will get to play in the sky. Let us know you're doing all right...please. Ciels and hugs and prayers- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  21. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! How wonderful - proof positive that love conquers, prayers are answered, and life is beautiful. How blessed is this. Best best best best news I've heard in about 6 months.... Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  22. Oh, man. That was rough. I am soooooo very sorry. But you know what, the Vet isn't going to euthanize without a reason. Chief was hurting, and now, he's running in the fields and playing. Chief was suffering, and now he's pain free and loving you. Guilt has no part of your life; you did right by Chief, you've always done right by him. Why would this be different? 11 months ago, I had to put down my Bitch Kitty, and she was suffering and so very very tired. But I know she is far better now, and not in pain. I see her in my dreams, I feel her near me, and I know she is better now. As much as it still hurts, it was the right choice. And I say the same to you. What I know is that while Chief is not there to pat, he is there to love still. While he is not there to touch, he is with you always. While he is not there to walk, he is there to walk by your side forever. He is not gone - he has simply come inside you. He is not dead - he lives in your heart. And when you see the patch of sun he used to lie in, squint your eyes; you'll still see him there, when you look from your heart. I am so very sorry.

  23. I was that student....spinning out of control, no idea where I was because the jumpsuit was flapping over the alti, spinning too fast to see the JM or camera guy's alti... The video shows my jm coming in, and catching my leg. We still spun. He lost his grip, and I came close to clocking him several times. The vid guy is an AFFer, and someone who I had jumped with before. I have no idea if he would've come in, but I suspect he would've - the vid shows him moving towards me. Then I waved off, took a moment, waved again, and still spinning, dumped very high, something around 8ishK. No line twists - miracle that was (I think my jm had gotten his hand on my leg just before I pulled and tossed.). I may not be the most competent jumper, and I certainly am not answering for any AFF rated person, but my instruction was: 1. If you don't know where you are, pull. 2. If you are uncomfortable/scared with what's happening, pull. What are the students taught? That would be what I would consider. What they are taught is hopefully what they will do; although I suppose you never know. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  24. Actually, a more pertinent question would be do they offer/cover vasectomies (which prevents conception) v. viagara which makes someone able to have sex and thereby conceive a child. That would be an interesting observation. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~
  25. Agreed. But we hear it all the time. Even on these boards. I'm not there, so I don't know, but I think a whole group gettin' together and "confronting" her will do far more harm than good. Think about it this way....if YOU were confronted by lots (more than 2) people, wouldn't you be defensive? I would. Especially if they're people who I don't respect (for whatever reason, right or wrong.). My suggestion: go to the DZO and/or Safety and Training officer. Tell them there is a serious issue. Really let them know that it's important for eveyone's safety that this jumper be talked to. Tell them to talk to her...after all, it's likely they have more jumps than she, and since that's her position, she will probably respect them rather than get defensive. Just my thoughts...
