  1. My folks were married for 29 years before they got divorced in 2000. They're still good friends, though. Funny thing is, even though I speak to my dad every other day, only today I found out today that he's getting married again this weekend. Not from him, but my cousin!

  6. Many of those already listed are on my shelf. Prefer Dean Koontz to Stephen King, though. Also Robert Ludlum's Bourne series - SO much better than the movies. Anyone read some of Tom Holt's books? GREAT humour. Ye Gods!, Odds & Gods, Paint your Dragon, Nothing but Blue Skies & so many more

  12. I'm usiing ie7 & can login on the chat with no problem. It takes a little while to verify & get going, but I'm also on a very slow connection. Doesn't help, of course, as I'm never awake when people are chatting in there A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

  18. 31 TO 40 POINTS : Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken. ^ ^ ^ I'm in there somewhere A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

  23. We've progressed from a slider being just something to seperate linegroups, to understanding sizing & pockets on sliders and their effect in controlling openings, to removable sliders. Who are you & I to say it can't progress any further. There's nothing wrong with a slider, just as there's nothing wrong with investigating new concepts (whilst taking into account & learning from earlier unsuccessful designs). Rounds worked, why did we change to squares, then to ellipticals, then airlocks & x-brace? All because someone wanted to try something new. Who knows what new developments we're going to see during our skydiving lives... Exciting, isn't it?
  24. I was just trying to illustrate that it's human to wonder if there isn't another (better?) way to do something. Horsedrawn carriages worked fine, why build automobiles? I've been ragged for changing or wanting to change virtually everything I lay my hands on. I've paid lot's of 'school fees' everytime I stuffed it up, but sometimes my changes are actually improvements, so I stay curious. Let our 'dorky engineer' wonder about a replacement for the slider, he might just turn out to be the next Bill Booth A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
