o.k. one option that has not been presented to you(even by women) is that she is expressing a need to feel important to you. if i were in your shoes i would do something special(a little hint, cleaning the cat box is worth more than jewelry in SOME situations).i would do whatever i could to help her realize how important she is to me before i go. sometimes a woman just wants to know that she is not replacable. there is nothing wrong with letting her know that.

Do everything right ... still die?
darnknit replied to Praetorian's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
it should also be noted that there are some people who did everything wrong yet still lived. these are the examples that lead some people to believe that skydiving is safe. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin -
according to my handy dandy pia pack volume chart, a stiletto 150 has a pack volume of 422 ci. your best bet is to call or e-mail velocity sports equipment and ask them. be sure to give them your container size. usually that's underneath the left mudflap on an infinity. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

believe it or not, there are some companies that find and sell things that come out of the ground. i would not be surprised if 74K was the starting salary for a geologist. please let me know if this post was confusing. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

you may not want to expose your weaknesses on a public forum. people that don't have your best interests at heart may take advantage of it. just thought you might want to hit the ground running, sport. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

try taking an anti-histamine before you go to sleep after drinking red wine. it's an old trick, but it works for most people. and then get a bottle of Marcquess de Caceres Rioja. it's about $12.00 a bottle and is unbelievably good as an all purpose wine. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

i accept your heartfelt apology Bobbi. thank you, i knew we could be friends. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

you should pick that one for your office pool but it was in Bobbi's posts, which made perfect sense to you, according to you. so answer the question Walt. do you consider me an idiot? pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
-
does that mean you consider me an idiot? Bobbi called me an idiot. does that make perfect sense to you? do you think i'm an idiot Walt? are you telling me it is acceptable to call someone an idiot even if i have rushed to that judgement? please elucidate on how it makes perfect sense to you. you make so many posts about how warm hearted and understanding you are, please explain to me how Bobbi calling me an idiot makes perfect sense to you. because i just can't believe that a racoon feedin' rodent relocatin' tree hugger like yourself would rush to judgement of another. then again i could be wrong. after all, you did say, pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

i understand. it's just that you seem to have something to say about everything. i figured the easiest way around that was to get along with you. i tried to be supportive to you, through what must have been the Everest of human endeavors, as you tell it. i am sorry you don't want the support you specifically asked for. all i did was answer the question you asked. i'm sorry you didn't like my answer, but it does not negate the truth. p.s. when you call me an idiot, or allude to me being an ass, it really hurts my feelings. i will accept any reply you have as a formal apology pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

how so? i can't be held responsible for the reading comprehenshion of others. i have never intended to rattle anyone's cage. i cannot be held responsible for the reactions of others. back off of what? acknowledging that you were supporting one of your friends? i gotta tell ya, it's tough to be nice to ya. you just don't take it well. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

my point is that shortening leg pads is in the section on alterations. it also states that a senior rigger can shorten leg pads. it would look like although one page of the manual is clear about alterations(16) another page(253) gives me, a senior rigger, the green light to alter harness/containers. the same manual also considers shortening a MLW an alteration. i would think it wasn't that much different than replacing a MLW which would be a major repair, but not an alteration. blue stuff, p.j. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

well, it would sound like, "thank god you were there to support him". i'm not sure why you interpret my compliments as something else, but like i said, i was being sincere. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

thanks for the personal attack. i was actually being sincere. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

mar 19 mar 21 must have been the most insurmountable twenty-four hours any individual on this planet has gone through. thank god you were there to support him. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

Riggers - do you use packers?
darnknit replied to councilman24's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
yeah, well i was only packing for him. it's not like i needed to pay attention to anything(besides, i got the color right). to be honest, i really don't see alot of packed malfunctions. i never have, i would guess less than one out of ten mals are due to packing error. i do understand some people being hesitant to use packers, i just find it ridiculous that a packer wouldn't let someone else pack their rig. it seems disingenious at best. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin -
interestingly enough, on page 1-6, which is coincidentally page sixteen, it states that a master rigger must have administrator or manufacurer approval to alter a parachute. i could see the FAA interpreting this as meaning ONLY a master rigger could alter a parachute, and even then ONLY with approval. wether the parachute was certificated or not. oddly enough, if you look at section 7.5.2(page 253) which discusses alterations, a senior rigger can shorten leg pads. i am not sure why shortening leg pads is in the section on alterations, and i'm even more confused as to why a senior rigger is allowed to sew on a harness in this instance, but not others. so apparently, even though i am not allowed to do alterations, i am allowed to do alterations. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

answer: yes answer to second question: yes i really fail to see how that wouldn't be obvious to you. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin

you're a total sucker. as soon as you femur in she will be rifling through your gear bag to find the jump tickets you left behind. if she can't find them there she will look through the jumpsuit that was just cut off of you. packers are worthless by nature. pulling is cool. keep it in the skin
