Yeah, but in the last day, he's on a blistering 8/day pace! "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

I don't know why that made you an emotional cripple. That just made my heart get about two or three sizes bigger. Feels pretty strong right now. Welcome home, Bill. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Is the whole FAA going over there? I hear JohnMitchell's heading over there too! "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

This one. Almost cooler because of the incongruously cheesy YouTube edit to Top Gun video... "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Wow, you too? I was totally raised on that stuff! "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Of course there are. Here's one. Or there's this. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

No, now is the time for her to get the hell out. If she's already passive, and he's already making excuses for his behavior ("it's because I was drunk"), this could go in a very bad direction very quickly. I'd hate to look at her after months or years of abuse and wonder "Why didn't she leave?" Maybe it's not the beginning of a classic abuse cycle. Sure sounds like it, though. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

He's either got a problem with alcohol, anger management, or both. If he considers it no big deal and doesn't think it warrants getting help, I don't need to waste time figuring out which one... I'm out of the relationship. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Yeah, really, it's kinda sad right now, and if I'm going to make my living playing poker, this isn't going to put me off on the right foot. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

If you find a container you are interested in buying, you can find out the serial number (or at the very least, the model number and date of manufacture) from the seller. That information will allow you to contact the manufacturer and find out what size main and reserve canopies the container can accommodate safely. You could take a seller's word for it, but it's probably a good idea to validate that information with the manufacturer before buying it to make sure that it will accept the canopy size that you want.

Have a great one, Paul! "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Did I just accidentally wander onto juicycampus.com? "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Just looking at their web site, they look like a typical outplacement/career counseling type of firm. Nope, they're not free, not by a long shot. Often, they're paid for by a firm that's laying you off as part of your severance package. I used one once when it was paid for when I was laid off. For me, there wasn't much that I learned that I didn't learn as part of the overall career counseling stuff I got in business school, and that was only a year after I'd gotten out of school, so it was really a refresher for me. It was nice to talk through career goals, do mock interviews, polish up my resume, etc., but I wouldn't have paid for it myself - I'm pretty sure it's not cheap. But for someone who hasn't done a job search in a long time, it might be worthwhile in terms of getting you focused on what you really want, focusing your time, and getting your job search techniques caught up with today's market. A career counseling firm like that is probably not going to teach you anything you can't also learn through books and online research - if you've got the time, energy, and motivation to go find it. But it just depends on how disciplined you are on pulling all that together yourself whether a firm like that will add value for you.

Just tell 'em the duck joke. They'll hear that one. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

You are obviously fitter.

And here I thought we were going to be discussing a pivotal scene from A Streetcar Named Desire. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

And yet you're on the internet now. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Ain't that the annoying (but wonderful) truth. I'm in an annoying in-between phase where absolutely no jeans in my house fit (well, unless you count "falling down off my ass" as fitting, and I'm not a teenage boy, so I don't), and I have one pair of casual pants (other than sweats or fleece pants) that fit. I was at a point where I had about 4 or 5 pair of work pants that fit but wouldn't you know it ... I don't have to wear work pants anymore right now! I did find a great pair of pants for $4 at Goodwill on Monday... since I'm not paying full price for a size I don't plan to stay in for very long (especially when I have no income!). Hopefully those jeans that are sitting in my closet waiting to be worn will be wearable in a week or two. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Tempting! I was really good - I cleaned out my personal effects, and made sure it was just the personal stuff ... though I could really use some illegal software right now (fortunately, I have friends at Micro$oft who can buy me legal copies, cheap!). The really evil thing is that I was in charge of IT. I know all the "serious" passwords and I'm betting they're not changing them. So even though they've cut off my personal account I could probably still hack in on the System Admin accounts assuming no one's changed the passwords. I'm not about to do it, partly because I've got too much integrity to do it, and partly because I know any suspicious activity could probably be traced back to me anyway. It's a small company - there's not too many people who know those passwords... they're gonna wonder pretty quickly. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Judging by your picture, you don't qualify as an old guy.. You are an observant one, professor. But I do love Mad John, and he only turns 60 once. So I gotta be there. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

Intermission? LMAO. That week is what the towels you don't care about are for, Dave. Either that or the church officially condones anal. *golfclap* "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

I think by posting this thread you just answered your own question, silly.

I just had an image of the Drudge report digging up old DZ.com posts from a candidate in the 2012 election. "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke

How can I pass this up?
