Good luck with that. That's a tempting list!! TPM Sister #102

And that explains why you still haven't found your Prince Charming...Oh wait...that was a frog wasn't it? Never mind. Actually, if you're confused about the difference between kissing and licking, it could explain the whole "ex-wife" reference. . . . Anyway, I'll bet the guy who got arrested decided it wasn't such a good idea after all, either. Okay, granted, the court transcript is going to be pretty interesting, but that little lick is going to end up being fairly expensive. TPM Sister #102

Apparently, I live under a rock. Ironically, this should draw me closer to the general toad population but I *still* never thought about licking one! TPM Sister #102

Sadly, that reference went right over my head. I'm not sure I want to know! TPM Sister #102

Why would anyone have tried this in the first place, to even DISCOVER what interesting side effects there could be from licking toads? I mean, never once has that sounded like a good idea. And who went around licking all different kinds of toads to determine which ones worked and which ones didn't??? TPM Sister #102

How About Cutting SKYRIDE Some Slack?
Jewels replied to skypapa's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Having an open mind does not mean "accepting" a practice that misleads customers in the name of business. Again, I point out that your search for open-mindedness is really a plea for acceptance because "it's business." Just because you can somehow justify their actions as simply competitive business practices does not mean that those who disagree with you are incapable of accepting competition. What about a business that operates ethically? There's a thought. Perhaps you should open your mind to that. TPM Sister #102 -

You really came to the wrong place to play devil's advocate, unless you just wanted to see your thread burst into flames for entertainment value. What YOU seem to forget is that the message being sent is that the means do not justify the ends, and that your justification that it's "business" is inadequate. What a breath of fresh air that people care about how things are done! You just happen not to like the side we see. TPM Sister #102 -
Anybody Know about Cheryl Elliott?
Jewels replied to tombuch's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Actually, I think her "reviews" are inappropriate no matter WHAT book she claims to be assessing. The so-called "review" is a review of tandems in general and seems to have nothing to do with the actual text of anything. She seems to be seeking any forum she can find, and doing it at the expense of authors who most probably have nothing to do with her complaints, other than the fact that their topic touches on something for which she strongly disapproves. If someone is genuinely critical of a book, their review needs to stand on the actual text. Edited to add: I posted comments to her review of both books. I think it's only fair. TPM Sister #102 -
It's a deal. Bush can do a tandem if he prefers but none of that for me. It gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it, even with a TI that I trust. But it's your job to get the airplane for this little bandit jump of yours. TPM Sister #102

Thanks. At least you didn't say should have left it by the crooked gate. Your gate looked straight to me, but even if it WASN'T, it's more construction than *I* could do so I'm not pointing fingers!! TPM Sister #102

Ugh! I'm so sorry about that! That's not pretty. TPM Sister #102

Wow! That's sort of the ultimate form of claiming territory! Poor puppy.

HEY!!!!!!!!!!! Just because that's true doesn't mean you need to point it out!! TPM Sister #102

And you know this . . . why? we have a small worm farm here, all kitchen scraps (excepts bulbs) and lint and vaccuum dust go in there

And you know this . . . why? TPM Sister #102

I am pretty sure it was his sixth jump overall: 1st jump, 1944 or so, emergency jump during WWII. 2nd jump, 1997, AFF, I believe on the anniversary of the 1st jump 3rd jump, 1999, AFF, for his 75th birthday 4th jump and 5th jump, 2004, tandems (he did AFF training but winds were too high), for Reagan's funeral/his 80th birthday 6th jump, 2007, tandem, for the reopening of his presidential library I don't care how many jumps he has overall; doing more than one tandem is just crazy. A rig. I want a rig. None of that, "let me clip you in" stuff. Huh-uh. TPM Sister #102

He's GOOD! My little one knows that when she rides in the car with me, she is not supposed to sit in my lap as I drive. So, she will sit in the passenger set, looking out the window and acting like she has NO IDEA what's going on--she's minding her own business and behaving. But then, a couple of seconds later, she'll inch backwards; not much, just enough to get closer. Pretty soon, she's sitting on the emergency brake. Then, her hind quarters are nudging up onto my lap. The whole time, she maintains her innocence by staring out the window (or anywhere but me). Yeah, like I can't figure THIS one out. Once in a while, it even works. TPM Sister #102

Smart dog! He has you trained well! My dog has plenty of her own tricks. Apparently, I'm a fairly obedient (and predictable) human! What kind of dog do you have? TPM Sister #102
-
Way to go!!! Good for her. Sounds like she's already showing great leadership qualities! Mostly, though, I hope she has fun.

You'll never get your hands on guy's stuff with that attitude. Um, it would be a little creepy with psipike02 considering that I could almost be his mother. "Girlfriend material" for him is entirely different--or should be, anyway. Just because he's legal doesn't make it right. TPM Sister #102

Keep him off the net and out of the turn vanes, and I should be happy! I'm not ridiculous about it, but I am SO calling you the next time that bull snake ends up in my front yard. He'll be YOUR problem to take care of. TPM Sister #102

I did the carry-on approach and just warned the screener ahead of time that I had weights in the bag. Word didn't get passed down to the guy doing x-ray, though, and you should've seen how big his eyes got when that came through! However, I got his attention and told him it was a weight belt. They pulled it out, looked at it, asked me if I was a SCUBA diver () and sent me on my way. Coming back was no problem. I told them in advance what I had and they looked at it but weren't concerned. Hope your travel goes as smoothly! TPM Sister #102
