  2. The object is to tie a knot with a loop. This is quite easy. Make a loop, tie a simple half hitch. Now comes the hard part. The knot has two requirements: The loop formed below the knot should be just larger then the width of the riser. This will allow the riser to fit through the loop, but won't give much extra for the line to move around. Secondly, the mark on the line should be just basely visible above the knot. This ensures the correct length. Duh. On my Javelin risers, pass the loop through the grommet, then feed the bottom of the toggle through the loop, locking it. Lastly, finger trap the excess line inside the part of the line above the knot. It's dificult if you don't have a tool, but if you have some spare telephone wire you can strip the wire, make a big loop, and use this to feed one line through others. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

    What to do?

    I started with tandem. It's a great way to do a first jump. End of story. Now that you've done PFF, tandem is going to feel lame. You're going to feel like you aren't the one in control, you're going to feel like you're just along for the ride. The rush from tandem is no different then what you felt on your first jump. I can't think of any reason to go back. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  6. That couldn't happen to a nicer girl... Keep your chin up, get the best treatment you can, and all will turn out well. There's a lot of things in life that we can control, there's a lot of things we can't. It's a wise person that knows the difference, and only laments the former. Do what you gotta do, then come back to us. Remember that you've got lots of friends here who care about you, but also remember that we want regular status updates! _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

    See, that's the killer. I didn't say it. Just a misinterpretation. Anyways, she is talking to me again, so I guess I got off lucky. Lessons learned...

    DogHouse?

    I think you're right, which sucks. It was all a misunderstanding anyway, and she doesn't believe me now. Oh well. Maybe she will forgive me anyways? There's always hope... _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

    DogHouse?

    Awright, the short story is that I made a comment that kinda suggested she was just this peace of meat I had on my shopping list. That's SO not the case. This woman is incredible! What's a guy to do? How can I convince her that I don't feel this way? _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

    That's the problem. I don't technically "HAVE" the gorgous beautiful smart woman yet. And no I'm not gonna post what I said. Let's just say it was WAY stupid. Doh! _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

    So there's this gorgous smart intelligent women who'se not talking to me right now because I said something stupid. What's a guy to do? Recomendations? _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  15. I'm a gadget geek too, but there's somethings I just prefer to be analog. These involve speedometers, tachometers, clocks, and yes - altimeters. Wearing a digitude to me is the same as having a digital speedometer in my car. I hated that! I want to see trends, I want to see the range, I don't want just a number. A needle just seems like such a good way to indicate a number. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  16. It was the coffee cake that really threw me for a loop. But yeah, the popcorn was good too. We're being good now, not gonna talk about these things anymore... _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  17. Sure I was! I was at a party last year - chicken wings, popcorn, COFFEE CAKE, and of course the brownies... I couldn't believe it. I'd never though of using it like that... _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  18. CrazyMel, is sounds like the hobgoblins are being mean to you again. THAT SUCKS! :( Get on the plane to Namibia! WooHoo! _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  19. It depends on the herb. Oregano, for example sucks fresh. Basil on the other hand must be fresh. Dill is so much better when fresh, but for some reason the store bought "fresh" stuff always sucks. I'll be putting an herb garden in my window shortly. Using dried herbs is better then using no herbs. If you're just getting into it there's nothing wrong with dried. I frequently use dried when I run out of fresh. It gets to be a pain in the ass to buy fresh herbs every week. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  20. I did that on my B and C. I guess I'd just like this one to be done properly. I'm thinking I'm gonna bring a can of spraypaint out to the DZ this summer. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  21. Well, kinda late, but here's what I had for dinner: Lemmon Herb encrusted chicken. Stir an egg until it's yolk is well mixed. Drop a chicken breast into the egg. Sprinkle generously with every herb that you like. Basil, thyme, oregano, dill, rosemary, etc. Add enough herbs so that you thoroughly coat the chicken. We're looking for BAGS of herbs here. Place it on a grill. Or a frying pan with a ouch of oil. Cook until done. Brown Rice Extravaganza. Brown rice takes a long time to took. I supose you could use normal rice, but why not try something different? When the water is boiling and you've added the rice, also add a thinly diced onion. Add the same herbs you used on the chicken. In a separate frying pan, throw in a handfull of mushrrooms and 1 tsp oil. Throw in some lemon juice and sautee the mushrooms. When they're one, set them asside. Once the rice is done, add the mushrooms. Also add some diced tomatoes and some diced spinach. Finish it off by adding a small amount of graded parmesan cheese. Tasty, healthy, adventurous, and easy. It takes a while because the brown rice needs to cook for about 40 minutes, but it's certainly low on the labor scale. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
  22. Nathan, scientists are pretty divided about what happened before the universe as we know it was formed. Some suggest that our current universe always existed, that the patterns bill described do happen but happen in the form of continual expansion, then contraction, then expansion. It's like the universe is a beating heart, continually getting larger and smaller. In this case, there was no big bang. Other theories suggest the Universe came into it's current form at the end of the life of the previous one. That some event resulted in a previous universe collapsing in on itself, everything starting over. Lastly, there was a poof of black spoke, God said "let there be a universe", and it was thus. There's a few more theories, but they're pretty technical. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999

  25. Funny, Personally I think the new Canadian currency is among the most beautiful in the world. I think it's great that Canada values the appearance of it's currency in the same way that european countries do. The one thing I hate about being in the states is that their bills are so dificult to tell apart. _Am ICQ: 5578907 MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com AIM: andrewdmetcalfe Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999
