Love is an Illusion created to perpetuate another Illusion called Marriage resulting in a reality called Divorce!! (Who can name the movie that quote is from?) The basic problem with Marriage is that it is a contract between a Man and Woman that says if we ever disagree the Woman gets everything the Man owns. At least that is the way it still works in the Deep South. Why would I sign that Contract?

If he is found Guilty, Then Yes they should but not just based on the fact that he is accused. Anyone can accuse anyone else of anything. The sad part is once you have been accused, You are guilty in most peoples mind. If he is guilty than I hope he spends the rest of his life in Jail, If it turns out that this girl made it up (Or grossly distorted the facts) than I hope she goes to Jail.

Here are a few ideas. (Yes, I stole most of these from Morning Radio shows and comedians but I have tried then all and they are a lot of fun) 1. Magazine or Newspaper Sales: Ask then if this is a Joke and get very irate because you are Blind and don’t find the humor in this call. Ask to speak to their supervisor. Express you displeasure at being made fun of in this manner. 2. Timeshare Sales Person: Use you best Old Man Voice and start asking if it is Clothing Optional because you don’t like Clothes. Tell them how much you LOVE to be Nekkid!! Go into a lot of detail. 3. Any Sales Person: Start screaming at your imaginary Children and Throwing things (It help to have a partner in the background Crying) Don’t forget to continuously apologize for the interruptions. 4. Any Sales Person: If you have a nearby Friend, Start Faking (Or not faking even) a little Foreplay and Continue on louder and louder until they hang up. Very amusing to hear the responses if your Roommate or Friend is the same sex. 5. Any Female Sales person: Start with the good old what are wearing and work your way up to Spit or Swallow Questions. (This one is for beginners and amateurs. A true pro can do much better)

Telemarketing Calls can be fun if you have some time to waste. My old Roommate and I used to have a competition going to see who could get the Telemarketer to hand up on us the quickest. The only rules were that you could not be openly rude to them or just start cussing them out. Next time you get a call just start asking them REAL personal questions or asking Stupid questions. They are wasting your time; you should return the favor and waste theirs.

Does this apply to hunting for bambi as well?

Just Finished: A World full of Fat People by Amarillo Slim Great Book about High Stakes Gamblers. Just Started Re-reading To Sail Beyond the Sunset By Heinlein (for the fouth time).

Vimpire$ by John Steakly (The book is nothing like Horrible Movie John Carpenter Made from it.)

DTV is much easier to Hack.

Flaming Dr. Pepper!! Ingredients: 3/4 shot Amaretto (or Chilled Rootbeer Snapps) 151 proof rum 1/2 glass Beer (Cheep Beer actualy works better for this one, Finally a way to make Bud or Miller almost drinkable) Mixing instructions: Fill the shot glass about 3/4 full with Amaretto and top it off with enough 151 to make it burn. Put the shot glass in another glass and fill the new glass with beer (right up to the level of the shot glass). Light the Amaretto/151 and let it burn awhile. Drop the shot glass in the beer and slam it. Tastes just like Dr. Pepper. Keep Damp bar Towel Handy for when you spill and catch your hand on fire.

Got plenty of Pics but no scanner at the moment. Yes, I used to run it but it has been parked for the last 2 years, not enough Time and/or money to run Both cars. My best run was 11:40 on DOT`s. My Daughters car runs 10:30`s in the 1/8 at 64 mph. She finished in the top 10 (#6 to be exact) in the national point standings last year.

I have a Pro-Street 71 Duster 340 but my true pride and joy is my 11 year daughters Jr. Dragster. See attached.

Yep. Got a Copy Last night at 12:01. But there seems to be some confusion at my household as my 11 year old daughter seems to think it is hers or some such madness. She refuses to let me read read it untill she is done. The nerve of some Kids!!

Foxfire (Angilina Jolie`s best role ever) A Boy and His Dog. (The Best ending of any movie ever!!)

I started my AFF Training in a Porter and then got lucky enough to a jump from a CASA on lvl 5. The DZ went through some restructuring and a 182 has been the only option for my last couple jumps. I was really nervous about crawling out on the step and hanging from the strut but found it to be the easiest exit. Really Cool because you are already in the relative wind, just let go and arch. Yes, the ride up is Long and umm.. Cozy but the exit is the easy part once you past the crawl out on the wing part.

I have an 11 year old Daughter that loves to spend a weekend building estes rockets and going to launch them at the park. Together we have built at least 20 of them over the years. Most of them only last a few Launches because we tend to over-power them and loose them or they get lost to the great Kite/Rocket eating Trees. Estes was having a really big problem after 911 shipping their engines because they were classified as Explosives. Just find a local Hobby shop and they should have what ever you need (and could probably really use your business).

Skilled Craftsmen generally have the easiest time here finding work. Lots of construction going on. All these craftsmen actually do quite well without Unions. As far as benefits go, well that depends on if they work for a full time construction company (most of them have pretty good benefits down here) or if they are general contractors in which they have to pay for their own benefits but they generally make more to account for that. Those benefits you list? Every non-union employer I have ever had offered the same benefits. No need to pay union dues for them. The Trade Guild? Haven’t ever really needed them down here. Still plenty of Jobs. (Might have something to do with the fact that Unions haven’t run off all businesses yet.) If you have a viable trade and are willing to work for a living, you can find a Job. May not be a great job but you can make a living without having to put up alot of Bullshit.

Or keep the Unions and Have no Job at all. I love a right to work state where Companies have to compete for the best employees by offering the best benefits and highest pay. The fact they can trim the dead weight (unproductive employees) allows them to offer even better packages and still remain competitive in the market place and offer even better incentive to retain the best employees. Unsafe working conditions? Call OSHA. Anonymously if you want. No Benefits? Less Money? Find another Job. If there are no other jobs offering better, maybe it is not such a bad deal. In the south, we have not had many unions historically and the Pay is reasonable, Reasonable benefits and working conditions are safe. Same job may pay more up north but the cost of living is also much higher so there is no real benefit. The only thing a union gets you is additional dues and a much higher chance that your employer will be forced to either go out of business or relocate somewhere that they can afford to stay in business and make a profit.

Who do you think got those labor laws passed? Who do you think makes sure they don't get abused? How many individual employees ever challenge an employer in court for violation of labor laws? Not many. It's expensive and means you lose your job. Like I said, Unions were a much needed thing at one time and yes they help get reasonable labor laws passed. But in the past 20 years they have become a pariah feeding off American workers and costing them more Jobs than they save. I was an Industrial Mechanic for 12 years. I worked in both Union and Non-union shops. In Union Shops, it was impossible to get your job done with all the union rules. As a Mechanic, if I was working on a Machine and there was a Wire in my way, I had to wait for an electrician to come move it and a Janitor to come clean up after I was done. This would make the average time for each repair more than triple. Really sad. This was costing employers a fortune and making it impossible for them to be competitive and left them with only 2 options. Go out of business or relocate. Either way, No more paycheck for the union boys. I was always paid better and treated better in non union shops because management appreciated employees that actually cared if the company was profitable and they would make an effort to keep quality employees. Even better was the fact they could fire the employees that were not pulling their weight which also made for a better work environment. Yes, I do realize that up North where Unions have been forcing companies out of business for much longer that there are not as many jobs and just finding another job is a little more difficult. You can thank you Local Union for that. If you are good at what you do and can be more productive then an employer will pay what you are worth to keep you from finding another employer that will pay more. At least that is how it works in the Non-Union South.

Unions Suck!! There was a time many many years ago when they were needed because there were no fair labor laws in place. Now that we have reasonable labor laws in place, the only purpose unions serve is to force businesses to either move jobs out of the country or Bankrupt employers while bleeding the Union Members for Dues. Unions and "The Union Mentality" have allot to do with why many American Made products are ridiculously overpriced and of questionable quality. I used to work in a Manufacturing Plant that the union was trying to get started in. Fortunately the employees were smart enough to realize that the union would simply force management to shut down and move operations out of the US. Be your own union. If you don’t like the deal the Company is giving you, Find another Job.

Why did the Chicken cross the road? To prove to the Possum that it could be done!!

So Uhh, Val, How YOU doin?

I am almost finished with AFF and I am looking to start accumulating my own gear. I am planning on holding off on a Rig until I hit about 50 to 100 Jumps but I do want to go ahead and start buying the basics. My primary interest is RW and good old faction Belly Flying. It will be a while before I Stand on my head (intentionally anyway). After shopping around online, I found the following Items that I am considering ordering... Mindwarp Millennium ProTrack Altimaster Galaxy Blaze Goggles Flightsuit I know the mindwarp is primarily a FreeFly Helmet. Is there any reason I should consider a different Brain Bucket if I am primarily interested in RW? Is there anywhere online that I can use one of those Gear Color Thingies to play around with designing a jump suit? All I can find are the ones for Canopies and Containers Any reasons that a new jumper should wait a while before making these purchases or other things that I should consider first? Since I am still on Student Status for 2 more jumps (therefore exempt from Beer Rules) look at all the money I can save by buying all this at one time and jumping it all for the first time while still exempt from BEER!!

How could you leave Sheep off this list??

I have been 4 times in the last 3 years. Going back again in June. Costa Rica is a GREAT Country. I did the zip Lines and hung out in the Hot Springs up near Arenal. Real cool just sitting in the Hot Springs drinking Imperials (Costa Rican Beer, not Bad) and watching the Valcano Blow smoke and ash every once in a while. Then head to Jaco for some surfing. If you get stuck in San Jose make sure to stop by the Blue Marlin. a Very Freindly Place. I never had a chance to check out the Dropzone there. Pura Vida

I came up with a Diet Plan a few years ago Every Morning when you first wake up, Start the day right with Morning Sex. Then for Breakfast, Nothing but fruit. Grapefruit, Bananas, Strawberries ect.. Lunchtime, Find some way to work in a Nooner. After that only fruit for lunch. Dinner time, Eat a normal reasonable meal and whatever dessert you choose must be eaten directly off your partner. Then of course sex at least twice before going to bed. World’s greatest diet plan. Guaranteed to work!!
