I dont know why/how they do it or allowed, maybe someone else could enlighten us, but it's happened to me quite a few times. The other night i did something stupid and my buddy Josh happened to be with me and the cop let both of us have it. Took both our IDs, ran em both, put our hands behind our backs and searched us. I felt terrible for Josh as he just happened to be there. Of course we werent doing anything wrong so they let us go. It's a good thing the illegal wasnt with us that night or he would've been deported for sure "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

Different suits do different things, thats why there are so many, but ultimately they provide protection from the elements, help with freefall speed control/stability, and offer something to grip besides clothing.

Really? You're right, this thread is a joke, just like 99.9% of threads in the bonfire. In fact it stems from numerous threads that could *actually* be viewed as offensive. Let's not play the male/female game here because if we do then no one gets to have fun.

I agree, no means no, and some of the women on this forum just dont understand that. Just because I enjoy looking at your boobies doesnt mean I am going to put pics (more i mean) of my cock online. Plus dont forget, i can see boobs anytime i want...i have a cock and go to the DZ every weekend! Jeez!

Likewise i have heard the term darkside used by people refering to something that they have admited they wish they could do. (ie: freeflying, competetive 4 way, swooping, BASE etc) "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

Depends on the speaker and their experience. -To some dedicated bellyflyers the dark side is freeflying -To some skydivers the dark side is BASE jumping -To ALL BASE jumpers (except MyNameBeDan) the dark side is the NPS A friend of mine (pilot for almost 40 years) made a funny comment yesterday about someone going to the dark side meaning they now work for the FAA. It just depends on your perspective. Then of course you have your evil dark Jedi types.

Ah, if that is what yer talkin aboot then i guess you're right, eh? "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

I believe you meant "Canadian Rules" because i would most certainly have to disagree with the statement "Canada rules." "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

Part of the issue is the asking part. I have only been able to talk to him about this once when i happened to be working from home that day and he rang my doorbell because i had "too much mail." (It was really just an issue of Parachutist that wouldnt fit.) Anyway since he delivers the mail when i work i dont have an opportunity to talk to him directly. This is why i have to deal with the lovely CSR people behind the counter.

I dont know. I know in other places i have lived when a package comes via USPS and you arent home they do exactly what you suggested. Don't know why thats not the case here.

Yes, if there is no room for mail then he discontinues the service. He really doesnt have a choice as if its too big the first day then its certainly going to be too big the second day. My problem isnt with the carrier, his hands are tied too. My prob is with the people working behind the counter. I went this mornign to get my mail...again. Same lady working behind the counter as yesterday that couldnt find my mail. So she goes to the back to get it. After 5 minutes she comes back out with some other guy who hands me my mail. As he does he says "Are you going to start collecting your mail?" I look at him shocked and say "I get my mail regularly but when i get a magazine or small box it won't fit and we have to go through this." To demonstrate my point i took the rubberband off my mail and showed him. It was a small box of checks, the new issue of Parachutiest, and 4 legal size letter. THATS IT! He then argues with me syaing the carrier told him i never check my mail. I tell him thats not true as i have already personally spoken to the carrier about the situation. He ignores me and says that i need to check my mail more than once a week. I tell him i check ym mail every night when i get home from work. He gets pissy and explains that when i dont get my mail the carrier has to bring it back and then he has to pull someone off the counter to go retrieve it for me when i come in to get it. My jaw dropped as i looked at him and said "You think i want to come in here every week and deal with this?" I couldnt beleive it. This is what i am talking about. Like Paul said its the attitude that drives me crazy. The carrier is just doing his job, and i am doing the best i can, but their CSR is screwing me and their carrier. Ridiculous!

I stand corrected "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

You have choices. Here is an example, if you want to mail a letter from California to Florida: 1. Post office - about 3 days. Cost 44 cents. 2. FedEx - Ground, about a week, cost, about $7. Express 3-day saver: cost, $9-10 3. UPS - Ground, about five days. Cost, about $6. California to Florida in 3 days? Yeah right! Try sending mail to Florida from any state. Hell, send something from FL to FL and see what happens! Florida is terrible in terms of speed. Plus, the figure the PO gives you are their best estimate. There is no guarantee it will get there when its estimated to get there. As far as outgoing mail, yes, i do have a choice. I do everuything electroniclly when possible and when not i use DHL, Fedex, or UPS. I cannot however dictate how i receive parcels. When i can dictate i use a carrier service and have it sent to my business.

So, exactly how many other skydivers DO you know? That was my way of ranting on my personal experience with Postal Employees while attempting to not offend PO employees that might also be jumpers. Racer: I will probably have to get a PO box. I am not upset with the carrier as we have talked about it before and he is in a similar situation as me in the sense that there isnt anything he can do about it if the mail wont fit. Since it doesnt fit the one day there is no magical way to make it fit the next day either thats why he stops the service. Its just frustrating dealing with the people behind the counter. I recently had to get a bulk mailing account set up for my company. THAT was like jumping through multiple rings of fire blindfolded.

I HATE THE POST OFFICE. Sorry if we have any PO employees here....if you are a jumper then you are obviously cool but where do these people come from? I always have the hardest time whether I am trying to do a bulk mailing for my company or just personal stuff! So i have a ridiculously small mailbox at my apartment. Nothing I can do about it, thats just the way it is. Unfortunately if i get too much mail at once, or a magazine such as parachutist my mailman will stop my mail service and take my mail back to the PO. No note or indication that my service has been stopped. So after a couple days of not getting mail I have to go to the PO (who has awesome govt hours) pick up my mail and tell them to restart my service. This happens a few times a month. Again, i cant really help it. It's not like i am letting old mail sit in there. So i havent got mail in about a week and a half. I knew it was going to happen because i ordered new checks and they wouldnt mail them to my business address. So i go yesterday morning and ask for my mail. The woman goes in the back then comes back and says i dont have any. I kindly ask her if she is sure as i havent received mail in a week and a half which is incredibly unusual. She just stares at me pissed of and uninterested and says "have you checked your box?" So I went to work, then went home and sure enough no mail. (As if it would magically appear.) So i went again this morning. Same woman. Two people in front of me is an eldery man. She is extremely rude to him and keeps snapping at him. Then she is rude to the person in front of me. My turn. I ask for my mail again, she goes to the back, comes back and says no mail. I ask her to check again as they have to have it and she says its not back there and maybe i should check my box again. I was livid at this point and there was a huge line of people behind me so i just smile and say fine i will call later and talk to someone else. So i just got off the phone with them. Guess what? They have my mail. And postage just went up again? Really?

Hey Patrick, There are actually quite a few Cincy jumpers. We used to be all spread out between the DZ's mentioned above but slowly everyone is migrating to Start. Great proximity and great facilties. You're right about the wind, this is the worst season opener in terms of wind I have seen since i started jumping a few years ago. You'll find that once you get into jumping you're more aware of the weather and realize we live in a crappy area for wind and percipitation. Anyway, good to have you around. Just wait til the weather settles down and we start having some weekend parties "If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero

No, i think thats acceptable because it's honest.

Strong cheese, bacon wrapped water chestnuts, bacon wrapped pineaple, bacon wrapped bacon... O! Bruschetta is the bomb too. With red wine it would be really good with cilantro and either fresh tomatoes or sun dried and a basalmic drizzle. Plus it's super easy.
