not even close.. (see below for one description of the difference, if that doesnt do it for you try a dictionary) and how exactly do YOU determine what SOMEONE else 'struggles' with?? Ok- I'll give it a shot.. Reality- I'm not going to write the entire definition, but here you go... The quality or state of being real. A real event, entity, or state of affairs. The totality of real things or events. Something that is neither derivative nor dependent but exists necessarily. With- In opposition to: Against Against- in opposition or hostility to. I never determined specifically what someone struggles with. My intent was a blanket statement that we all struggle with something, and if we struggle with it, it's our reality. WITH/ AGAINST can be synonymous. Perhaps there are those who never struggle with anything, but I've yet to meet them. So yes, I could be wrong. Something that I DO NOT struggle with being. The way I looked at your statement, was different than the way you intended it to be looked at.

Ok, here's an opportunity to redeem yourself and keep your guy card privileges: By "soul friend" do you mean: 1. The ultimate guy friend 2. The ulimate lady friend (strictly platonic) 3. The ultimate lady friend (with privileges) 4. The ultimate bartender (who gives you free drinks) 5. Other (explain) Walt Gee thanks Walt. Let's see if I can get out of this one alive! 1. The ultimate guy friend-NOPE 2. The ulimate lady friend (strictly platonic) YES 3. The ultimate lady friend (with privileges) NO 4. The ultimate bartender (who gives you free drinks)NO 5. Other (explain) When ever there are priviledges involved, you can't really be 100% yourself. I'm talking about a friend who can be dead honest about anything with you and vice versa. A friend who can share anything and know that you will still be there. As intimate as you can get without the sex...

They're both the same, and I've yet to meet one person who doesn't....

I just started two months ago. I bought some cheap clubs and go about twice a week. I really suck, but I suck a little less with each game. I do have a wicked slice that is bound to put me on the ten most wanted list for bodily and property damage pretty soon though

I know there's soul mates, and soul friends. I'd like to find my soul friend. Someone to love without expectation or reward. (I'm hiding my guy card)

Anything over three, and under six. The endorphins don't really kick in until about three miles. I'm slow as hell, but I can go on for a really long time. The Florida sun starts to scramble my brain after about six miles though!

Spoken like a true Republican. These people do in fact work shit jobs for shit pay and it isn’t fair the way they are being exploited. Did you ever stop to think that if Americans would stop hiring these illegals, by checking their citizenship before hiring, we wouldn’t have these problems in the first place? Who are you going to point the finger at? That rich Jew company owner who has all the money and the power to make the correct moral decisions? Or blame the group that has nothing and is willing to risk their ass coming over here just to make $4/hr. Do you realize the hypocrisy? This is what America is really about. Capitalism at it’s best. You bitch about taxes. OK, lets tax them on the $6.75/hr they will be making which is minimum wage in California. That puts them in the 10% tax bracket. Guess what, that isn’t even enough revenue to cover the administrative costs to register these workers. Forget about generating enough taxes for schools and health care. There isn’t any profit in taxing the poor. That is precisely why our government refuses to deal with this issue. The end result? We pay more. Illegal immigration is the byproduct of American greed. The only solution is to open the boarder to all Mexicans. When they realize there are no jobs, they will leave. Problem Solved. UntamedDOG Why don't we just do away with INS, open our borders to everyone, and not worry about it anymore? Why even bother? Let's give everyone amnesty and a social security card. Controlling the borders is just a stupid idea anyway. I run a business and the majority of my workers are from other countries. All are American citizens. All went through the long process to become legal. All are paid on the same scale as the American born citizens. They are all also really pissed that others are attempting to circumvent the process that they had to go through. By staging these rallys, they have made a grievous error. When the majority of a people is against illegal immigration, you don't piss on their feet. IMO there is no plausible argument for allowing illegal immigration to continue.

Animals or human, I'll help... I take in the situation first to make sure that my involvement is needed though. If other people are helping, I move on. I believe that good comes back to you, just like bad.

The "Thinker" can't touch this...

IF-HE-SAYS-ONE-MORE-WORD, I'M-GONNA-KICK-HIM-IN-THE-BALLS

You are a genious! I mean it too.

Tell Her! She'll be pissed, but don't let a day go by that you can't be honest with her. Don't start out of the box hiding stuff.

I love Sake. It does taste totally different without japanese food though. My friend and I were drinking it Tuesday night, and she and I agreed that it's one of the cleanest buzzes you can have. Now if you want to really experience life, drink about five Sake bombs. Take the little sake cup and drop it into a mug of the Japanese beer of your choice and kill it. You'll learn a new language...

HA!!!! ROTFLMAO

In all seriousness, it's not where you go to meet them, but how you handle yourself when you do meet them. Surrounding yourself with women may increase your odds for one to start up a conversation with you, but it won't help if you're not confident. My father told me years ago that the worse someone can do if you ask, is say "no". If you ask ten, one will say "yes". Start up a conversation and ask them out for coffee, or something that will give them a safe quick out if they feel they need it. Keep asking until someone says yes. Don't be afraid of beautiful women either. They're people too, and if you're confident, they will know it. Be prepared to handle some rejection too... It hurts, but not as bad as not trying and being alone.

Find your local thespian group and take acting classes. It worked for me in the military. Seven chicks, and me. I got to play all the male roles

It's only because we love you Andy. We heard your cry for help and did what only fellow skydivers would do. Please tell us more.

Maybe he'll discover why he doesn't like girls.

Don't pass by this opportunity! Tell her that if she really likes you, she'll do a "two-way" with you and one of her friends. If it pisses her off, you win, if it doesn't, you win!

I'm traveling to Hawaii next month and would like to know where the best place to stay is. Somewhere on the beach preferably around the $80 to $150 range. Within about 10 miles of the DZ if possible... Thanks, Robert PS- Search function isn't working!

Where do you find someone to jump with that doesn't have a few loose screws Yes, we Americans like to vocalize. I just can't picture myself walking stiffly to the door, looking up, and saying cherio mate! Although, there is one redneck... being English, i always wear my bowler hat and carry an unbrella when i go jumping ... i say "tally ho chaps, chocks away" in the door and read a copy of the Financial Times on the way down I love you guys!

If it goes up to $100.00 per barrel, I'm investing in a company that makes base rigs!

i get nervous thinking i might be jumping with someone whos actually got a screw loose. still, each to their own i suppose Where do you find someone to jump with that doesn't have a few loose screws Yes, we Americans like to vocalize. I just can't picture myself walking stiffly to the door, looking up, and saying cherio mate! Although, there is one redneck...

Hi Boddi... I'm 42 and made my first AFF jump last August. I'm married and have a son in college. I know everyone's situations are a little different, so I'll tell you about how it affected me, not how I think it will effect you. It changed my life. Not only the skydiving, but the people and the culture in general. I finally found a sport, and a place that left me fulfilled at the end of the day. (some of the days ended after midnight too)! I went from being a constantly at home, and available husband to being one that escaped every chance I could get to the DZ. I'd be in the den staring at the sky and white puffy clouds and pace like an expectant father. Every other word out of my mouth would be about skydiving. My 5 acre property started to look like hell, and all my machinery and even my job started to lack attention. One goal, one focus, FREEFALL! My advise to anyone with a family who wants to skydive is to involve them if at all possible. Especially your better half! I have a great wife who isn't into skydiving and it made it a little rough in the beginning. We compromised and I only go once a week (unless I sneak away from work ) Be prepared for beer parties too. Those skinny bastards can really drink, and they'll never let an opportunity pass when you do something that requires beer!
