The heart or the woman? In all honesty, it's probably neither, but this one is till too wierd to not share. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/15808125/detail.html Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

+1 The comment I posted was, "The people freaking out over this are probably the same people who think Muslims shouldn't be offended by Dutch cartoons depticing Allah. Hypocrites unite!" Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I have no idea, but I hope I never meet a girl who reminds me of it. Edit to add: Maybe it's a scaly man-fish. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Happy birthday Shell...you'll have to wait a few months for your spankins.

Which, in your opinion, was best and why? Edit to add: Let's assume all instructors are equally competent for this purpose. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

For some reason I thought the penalties were more than 1% (and an automatic audit flag). Is your accountant "aggressive" in taking write-offs? (but not so aggressive that I'd be risking more than a month or two of pay) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So....I'll keep Muttley and the next time you, me, and Amazon are at the same boogie, I'll remind her of your above statement and then roll camera. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Mmmmmmm - red headed spinners . . .

Seems there's a lot of Air Force guys similarly inclined... Several of our jumpers work in the SERE school. Will we see you out at the DZ? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

5' 8.5" is getting a little on the tall side. The 5'5" Alyson Hannigan mo' better. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

5'5" AND a redhead...

Right. At my "real" job, I have taxes deducted such that I would get a very small refund if that were all I had going (and I could do the 1040-A on my own pretty easily). The company I own doesn't have any deduction mechanism built into it. I do all the paperwork, figure out my profit, and pay the taxes before April 15th of the following year. I don't think an extension will get me out of this. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I thought the extensions only worked if you were filing for a refund and that they don't extend the time you have to pay the IRS. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So last year, my taxes got complicated enough that I had to use an accountant, as I couldn't figure out where to put all my sole proprietorship stuff into Turbo Tax. I then formed an LLC and raised all relevant numbers by an order of magnitude. The accountant started on my taxes in January, sending out 1099's to the people who needed them and (presumably) filing the government's portion of the 1099's by the end of February. The last couple weeks I've been throwing hours of frustration at organizing receipts, totalling costs, etc, and figure it's now close enough that I can finish up my spreadsheet this weekend. I called to make my appointment only to find out my accountant is taking no more appointments till AFTER April 15. So what I was incapable of doing last year is tremendously more complicated this year, and now I get to do it on my own. Great! I foresee an audit in my near future.

Apparently the wheel has already been reinvented. Like you, I don't know what the problem was with the term "novice". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Do those things breathe at all or do you sweat like crazy? And am I correct that the bottom pieces are removable? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I say "graduated AFF" and similar things and agree it could use improvement. The confusion you're seeing is likely the result of an old dogs/new tricks thing. I'm pretty sure that when I started instructing, graduating S/L or AFF did in fact mean one had graduated from student status to "novice status". The lingo has since been changed to remove that intermediate phrase, but not everyone has caught up. I do make it clear to my students that they are still students until they get their A-license, and I'm adamant that they not jump with non rating holders (or individuals with a proper waiver), but I haven't come up with a comfortable catch-phrase for the period between I-required jumps and A-licensed jumps.

I've previously worn a two-piece freefly suit with cordura knees/butt, ditching the top on hot days. I bought a new 5-piece suit this winter (FF and RW pants, FF, RW, and camera tops) thinking it would make it easier to switch pieces for back to back to back vidiot-AFF-tandem slots. Now I'm not sure I want to subject it to routine tandem abuse, so I might buy an additional pair of FF pants specifically for the days when I know I'll be mostly doing those.

I'm getting the same thing. Maybe the black helicopter people were listening to your phone conversation regarding them last night. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I've been on the news or in the local newspaper a bunch of times for skydiving and some volunteer work I used to do...probably 1-3 times per year for the last decade or so, but I wouldn't qualify that as semi-famous. I was once a professional fisherman, but got no press for that. Now I'm just the world's greatest action dork. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That thing some of us do in lieu of giving the IRS an interest-free loan. I'm back to working on my taxes tonight. So far, it looks like I'm going to come in well under the $5k I thought I was going to owe...my guess right now is around $2k (beyond what I've already paid).

According to wikipedia... Montana's law was similar to Mississippi (driver and passengers could drink, driver couldn't be drunk) until 2005. Personally, I'm opposed to open container laws. I think people should be punished for what they have done, not what they could have done. Having one beer on the way home from work is no more dangerous than having one soda, but there's this thought that one could turn into six, at which point it would be dangerous.

I can't believe this hasn't been posted in this thread yet. Anyhow, my hot little redhead just turned 27 on Sunday. Given that she's a redhead, posting her measurements would probably be bad for my health, so let's just say they're wonderful.
