What can we do about Skyride?
johndh1 replied to ChasingBlueSky's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Now, in their defense, under "Hotels & Restaurants," is does read that they are "Midway between Orlando and Washington..." Roll Tide Roll -
Do you agree with the way this demo was handled?

Tiger! Back in your cage...it's already been covered. As for part 2, it's not the point. Roll Tide Roll -

Ryan, You have to admit you don't really know much about the skydiving industry, whereas almost everyone you are conversing with here does, with years behind them. Myself, I take a look at the numbers: I think of how many people I know who have left your company's association (and not usually on good terms, I might add), and I compare that to how many people (already within the industry, not outsiders coming in initially) have gravitated toward it. There is no question which list is by far fuller. Roll Tide Roll -

I meant 1-800-SKY-RIDE. Roll Tide Roll -
It's funny you should say that - for the longest I would get this weird feeling when I would have to take the scissors to my plants, like I wondered if they thought I was punishing them or something. It's not like I heard them screaming in my head or anything, just I guess anxiety about whether or not I was doing it right, and when, etc. Always came out well, though. I am glad there is a thread on dropzone.com that doesn't make my heart race or make me angry or horny for once... Roll Tide Roll

I think he's just trying to get voted off the island. Who wants him on their side? 'demopolice,' I hereby strip you of your name, and re-Christen you 'Senator Craig." Roll Tide Roll -

You're right. I sit here and ask myself the same thing every day since this began. Maybe instead of posting, I'll just call and ask for him...if only I could remember that number Roll Tide Roll -

My whuffo friends (and probably yours too) tell me the same thing about jumping out of airplanes...however, that's one of those things that I think should not be placed in the "I told you so" after it happens, regardless. You are starting to bore me. Roll Tide Roll -

Huh? Blanket P.A.? You mean his "Douche-Bags" comment? R-e-a-d s-l-o-w-l-y b-e-f-o-r-e r-e-p-l-y-i-n-g to other newsgroups...the Douche Bags are his friends (and an accurate description, I might add) Roll Tide Roll -

I was also under the impression that he tried to go around the family and set up his own deal with the Airport Authority, but correct me if I'm wrong. It's often so hard to keep up with the tangled web of deceit when it's not your own second-nature as it is with some. Roll Tide Roll -

I was under the impression it was Ellijay->Thomaston->Cedartown. I thought this guy meant Cary was from Pell City. Looks like he has more facts to get straight than he knows what to do with, in between answering all those phone calls. Roll Tide Roll -

Then, why would he come to Pell City in the first place? It was just a 182 dz. So was Tullahoma...why did he go and try to buy that place out from under the survivors if it were so useless and trivial? Roll Tide Roll -
All these are indoor plants - certainly enhances the air quality noticeably - especially with a brat of a cockatiel inside. The "round" part of the kitchen (think big bay, floor to ceiling) looks literally like a jungle sometimes. Outdoors? Forget it - I just try to keep the grass mowed to community standards. Besides, with the droughts being what they have been this Summer in Alabama (and elsewhere), I wouldn't even try outdoor stuff. I don't know if I just emit a lot of CO2 and make them happy, but it's like I have the super-plants or something. I am, however, going to try tomato plants, because I eat them every single day in one way or another. Roll Tide Roll

All this says more about the voters than anyone. I have vowed from now own to: 1. never vote a straight-party ballot, 2. only fill in for candidates who I know their platforms and history for certain (not "just because I am voting against a Republican or Democrat on principle"), and 3. stop thinking my third-party vote is just thrown away, causing me to go either/or.

Weightlifting is the only thing I do every day, snowboarding, snowskiing, SCUBA, rappelling, camping (but prefer bathrooms - I just like sleeping outside), hiking, and here's one for you: my "calm" thing has become taking care of my plants I have somehow inherited - a couple of Peace Lilies, A Diffenbachia that won't stop growing (it's over 4 ft. tall, and I planted it from a twig only ten months ago - the leaves are about a foot long and 9 inches at the widest), and some others I don't even know the names to. Repotting them to larger has become more routine than I thought it would. When someone asks me what I did yesterday, and I tell them "repotted some plants," I get the strangest look, and "...really...you?" Then they see them and are like "Wow." Roll Tide Roll

There is no profanity filter - Billy burned it out a long time ago, thanks to your employer. If you're going to say it, say, and don't patronizingly place an asterisk on one letter of a 12-letter word. Roll Tide Roll -
And the fact that he was secretly homosexual is not the same thing as the fact that he is sexually compulsive. Still, let's see where the GOP takes this. I liken it to PETA picketing Michael Vick, both representing historically Democrat demographics. I just hate the hypocrisy, regardless of which "side" it happens to be on, and I really hate it for his wife. The funny thing is that I have heard that this, like the Foley scandal, has been a Washington insider joke for years before it came out - and I heard that from Republicans in the media. Let's face it, they all don't really care what the policy is as long as it gets the public fired up enough to get out and re-elect them. It is not exclusive to either party. Roll Tide Roll

Who said anything about the War on Terror? As a matter of fact, I equate the "War on Terror" . . . Political post deleted. Please post political opinions in SC. I feel like somebody just stole my breath! ME?! In the same day, I have been deleted not once but twice (and for the first time) from another neighboring newsgroup forum, and now admonished on dropzone.com?! So, who gets the three cases of beer?! And I've been so careful. Oh, the humanity... Roll Tide Roll -

Who Wants to Loan Me $1.5 Mil so I Can Have My Own Missle Base?
johndh1 replied to NWFlyer's topic in The Bonfire
Assuming a 7% return, that's just over $100K a year interest - wouldn't you rather have that instead? I mean, you could have like the biggest trailer at Z-hills, with a diesel Jetta, an annual trip to the mountains and the islands, and a Yorkie named Mr. Sprinkles! If that's not Heaven-on-Earth, I don't know what is. Roll Tide Roll -

All in line with my point. I should make clear, I am "working out" 1.5 hours, which means, 20 minutes lifting, the remainder of the time talking. I agree with you, though, completely in your assessment. Roll Tide Roll

There are different issues here, which could actually be three conversations. 1. Kudos to you, Eddie, for your candor in admitting being the butt-flag-slider and if the explanation is as simple as that, anyone should accept it. 2. I agree, if the crowd was safe, then swoop, swoop some more. Swoop through them damned goalposts if you want! More teenagers are still likely to die from freak accidents on that football field than by anyone landing on it. 3. Still, I personally don't think it is a good idea to be immortalized on film as such. Maybe I'm wrong. I've done a lot of things I wouldn't want the video to be put out there on the internet for all to see...not for free anyway Would rather the already critical dropzone.com public see video of the demos that turned out better? Maybe Clark could post some of those for you? No offense, but on more than one occasion on the originating newsgroup there has been a cleverly cynical (non-personal-attacking) post deleted, so why not an unflattering video link? It's like that saying I've heard..."Build a thousand bridges, and they might call you a bridgebuilder..." Roll Tide Roll
