you the big or the little spoon!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i wonder how you're surviving then!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

already!? jesus, summer has finally kicked in here, 32°-34° this week.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

good morning mike! hows life up there?

according to DSM-IV, uh!? so you studied psychology? or have some sort of medical degree? and i dont mean your 9 month bible study group on college level.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i like my GPSmap 60CSx a lot.. even works in the sunlight!

probably everyone here has a story to tell about black and blue thighs from a hard opening student canopy.. you'll get into trouble explaing them to your SO.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

isnt that true for everyone!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

he fooled you into believing he's got a rating!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

you know i dont like that either! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

its not about the swooping wendy, its about what he's trying to come up with to actually avoid to land.. yes, that IS worrying..

yea, actually, i'll never get a motorcycle, you're right with that! you're worried about soft landings? learn them! but dont come up with airbags n'shit on every 2nd post about it.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

that depends on the patient really, takes somewhere from a month to six or so.. i cant spill out every form of therapy, as i've never done it, but i know plenty of people that have.. 12-steppers was never a topic. did you even bother to read the links? i'm opposed to any form of recruitment from any sort of sect; scientology has a good set of record too, doesnt mean they wont rob you blind in the end! i have a friend that is into some sort of that shit. including end-of-the-world scenarios, UFO's picking them up; yea, guess what, the spaceships never showed, but the house and everything else was sold and the money given to their leader.. nice, ey!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Hay be nice! Just because I want to get down safe and swooping doesn't interest me is no reason to be mean. I just want to enjoy my free fall and get down safe. After a few safe landings maybe I'll start wonding what's out there. But for now safe is the name of the game. if you dont see the dangers of that kind of thinking, again, i'd recommend the tunnel; you can have ten minute freefalls, and just walk out after that.. a skydive doesnt end when you dump.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

I agree 100% but thougth just incase.... You know for the same reason why I wear all my gear all the time when I ride. I don't plan on falling but just in case i do I wish not to die due to a soccer mom not paying attention. well, you been that soccer mom just recently.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

yes, plenty! usually people are brought to a closed facility where they receive therapy and psychological treatment, and no "higher power" bogus. you know, proper treatment!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

http://blog.sixwise.com/photos/images/images/187/original.aspx That's how I got the idea!

maybe zorbing would be for you!? “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

shah, already in another thread you came up with a nerdy idea like that. if you think you need to protect yourself so much from the bad, bad ground, why dont you go fucking fly in a tunnel!? us skydivers are proud to be a self-reliant bunch, and all of us knew what we've gotten ourselves into. if you dont like the risk involved, dont do it! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

yup, thats my point, pretty devot sect recruiter.. if he cant stop here, why should he there; those 12-steppers ARE religiously motivated, and it IS a form of recruitment. just saying its not wont change the fact. edited to add 2 random links: http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/2001/03/A-A-Americas-Stealth-Religion.aspx http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-rroot030.html “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

used to fish people that have problems into a culty sect and gather new members; when they're down, kick them in the dirt, take all their money and tell them they're healed now! You are so far off base with that remark you have made yourself look foolish. you know, i really like answering the door to find some couple, usually dressed in black pants and white shirts with backpacks on, carrying the "watchtower" and saying: "hi, we represent a christian group.." on which i stop, look at the magazine, say "ouh, watchtower, you must be members of the witnesses of jehova!" - then the answer comes "yes, in fact, do you know our christian group?" my standard-answer: "yes, i already have a religion that i dont really care for and dont feel the need to adopt another one!". if they still continue, i usually open the door a little more and let the dog peek through; that usually makes them fuck off! to be a member of said sect, you're supposed to give a tenth of your paycheck to the "church".. i dont think yours will be much different. so, since you're so eager on recruiting even on this website, i doubt that you'll stop at those helpless souls. that comment hasnt made me look foolish, it actually has revealed the true nature of your intentions.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

Well, that just wiped out and negated the professional field of substance abuse/chemical dependency. I retired just in the nick of time, eh. i'm interested in what you stated here, can you please expand on what you mean? Every treatment program I have worked in since the mid-80's utilizes the 12 step program in some manner. The 12 step program is based on surrendering to a higher power. Google 12 Step, Twelve Step, Alcoholics Anonymous or, Narcotics Anonymous. There are others but this is the core. used to fish people that have problems into a culty sect and gather new members; when they're down, kick them in the dirt, take all their money and tell them they're healed now! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

this made me chuckle! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda

i still believe that line-dump is a myth.. “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S. Thompson "No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try." -Yoda
