"note to self" Dont buy anything from karenmeal. But to the thread OP. Paypal is VERY good about returning money after it has been paid. And..depending ont he amount that was paid..with using paypal...aypal takes a small percentage of the amount paid. The highr the amount..the more they take. Now 20 bucks...that would have to be a REALLY high amount. I dont know why they are adding that much more...especailly if the shipping was already established before paypal was brought up. Ive been using ebay for like 6 years now..and i had 2 dead sellers. I had my money back within 3-4 days on both of them!

Well...i dont have a name and number...but you or prolly her going would be better. Go to the front gate and asjk the guards for the baes's OMBUDSMAN. They ALWAYS have direct contact with all CO's foreign and domestic. It might be longer..but at least it will get done. Thats all the help i can offer. If my brother wasnt deployed right now he could help..he was in the 82nd stationed at bragg. You can try pming him through here. Im not sure if he will get it..but you can try. his username is bigdad510. Maybe he can help too!

well...as most know my apartment is always open to people that are up north that cant jump...that want to come to florida to jump. i cant..but it would make me feel better to help someone else out that cant jump due to weather. The weather here is BEAUTIFUL...which just makes it worse that i cant jump...grrrr...

OK..motor was a H23. I changed the timing belt and water pump, front main seal and cam seals in 45 minutes and had it back in 16 timing 15 minutes later. Dealerships charge ALOT more than they should. And this was done at a buddy's house without the help of a full service shop.

I took it as an insult. I have worked in the customer service field for over 10 years now...i can tell constructive criticism and an insult. I didnt get to where im at today by complaining when someone doesnt agree with me. I have balance in my life...i was just stating that the absence of skydiving sucks...speaking on my own behalf....once started. In no way was i implying that everyone should feel like i do...even though some of the people replying in this thread do feel the same. And now you talk about my mental state....haha..i find that to be funny. Specifically how you can make that "assumption" without knowing me on a day to day basis. Very few people on this board know me outside of the skydiving world to even remotely make any assumptions about me. Granted..i havent been in sport long enough to meet most of the people that post here regularly..but that will change when i my superiors get off their ass and get the paperwork done that i need to get the money that im entitled to..which in turn will make it ALOT easier to get out to different dz's and meet more people and chill more. Ok..im ranting now... "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!! "-Specialkaye

well..i got a pm from someone else and i replied...if they dont respond by tomorrow..its yours. "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!! "-Specialkaye

Pretty much why i started ignoring his posts about halfway down the first page. Most others have been supportive with the replies left...which goes alot further. Even to give constructive critisism...at least do it without insulting the person...sheesh.

Job-check retirement-check Tv-dont reallt watch it. beer-dont drink too often. I actually think i drink more now that i jump than i did before...socially of course. SUV-not my thing...im a honda man..and i own my car :-) "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

Me me me!! And i'm a rigger so you can get free repacks.

well..i was speaking for myself. It wont be bad at all...at least for me...when i have my own rig and can pack. Hell...20-25 bucks a jump is a whole lot better than 140-150!

I so want to go to dublin...but i have no way to get there right now..unless i get the other document i need to reinstate my drivers license..plus the fact that im still in AFF...it would be expensive for me to jump there anyway..during to aff jumps being the most expensive..besides tandems. I jsut cant wait till im off student status and not paying the student aff prices. I love the sport but its expensive as hell to get started!

Nope..i have an older brother...he is BigDad510 on dz.com....and the person responsible for getting me into the sport! "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!! "-Specialkaye

For some reason...i got the exact same thing from USPA twice. So now i have 2 copies of Parachutist mag. The only thing i can think of is that they sent it to me with the temp membership i got when i did aff 1...then when i officially became a member..they sent it again...lol "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!
