    Is that better or worse than the secondates? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Isn't that what I said in the first place? Thank you for your corroborating anecdote. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Don't worry baby, I can help you out with the whole logic thing. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    It doesn't, it just confirms that we expect it, thus all the confusion. Blues, Dave Do rational and logical mean the same thing in this case? Only in that I expected such a response from Muttley. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Sometimes, the benefits of animal research are just too obvious to ignore. Although this study only involved nonhuman primates, it's clear that it will correlate well across the species and explains the difficulty men have understanding women. What an amazing breakthrough! http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2007/09.13/99-primate.html Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Well, i know you're coming over for dinner on Friday. Ain't cha bringin' yer gear? Sorry, but we only have a Super Twin Otter and a Grand Caravan to jump out of over here. Ha ha! NO!!! I wasn't sure which day we were planning on, but Friday is what I was hoping for. I was planning on bringing my rig, but only because I thought your beautiful wife might want to see it. Oh, and I did get to do AFF out of a 182 once this weekend. It was kind of odd since we usually just take the Caravan. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I jumped out of airplanes. But this coming weekend, I will not be anywhere near a dropzone for the first weekend since March or April. I'm quite looking forward to it. And in proving that chinese fortune cookies can occasionally make sense, mine at lunch today said, "You will enjoy doing something different this coming weekend."

    I don't think I could possibly come up with a "best" post, and I'd be hard-pressed to pick a "least bad." Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    :14:0 7 tandems, 5 tandem videos, 2 AFFs, and I jumpmastered one IAD student. It was a multi-tasking sort of weekend of nothing but work jumps. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Happy birthday doc! Don't let your advancement from geriatric to ancient get you down. It's just the way of things. If you need to talk about it, give me a call...at least I'm sober. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    A better reference would be dictionary.com, which lists both possibilities, but it lists mine first. What are your thoughts on the difference between semi-annual and biannual? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  16. livendive
    Bi-weekly would be every two weeks. Semi-weekly would be twice a week. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I went from weekly to monthly once when I got promoted from hourly pay to a salary. That sucked...that last weekly paycheck had to last me a lot longer than it was sized for, and I had to buy some more "professional" clothes with it as well.

    I read laws and interpret them all the time in my course of work, and I am no lawyer. My job includes understanding the laws and ensuring we comply with them. Lawyers only get involved if I make a mistake, which thankfully doesn't happen all that often. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    "Harold Anderson vowed never to go elk hunting again and said he would spend the rest of his days at home with his wife." ltdiver If she can handle two weeks in the wilderness, she can probably survive his being around a bit more.

    Ya gotta love a happy ending.

    My second surgery (the biggest one) included 6 months of no jumping and 6 additional months of hop & pops with my left arm held tight to my torso until after I had a good canopy. My third surgery (removing bolts from second surgery and repairing internal rotators) was about 4 months of recovery. The three added up to a few years of uncomfortable, a bit of lost range of motion, and a bit of permanent, albeit intermittent pain. Still, the thing works again, so they were worth it.

    Yep, bankart repair is for a torn labrum. I've had a couple of them, and arthroscopic is MUCH better than open, especially if the open includes harvesting bone from your pelvis and bolting it into your shoulder to beef up the labrum (like putting a brick wall behind a curtain).

    Arthroscopy isn't nearly as bad as open, but shoulder surgery still sucks. My arthroscopic procedure was for a torn labrum, and it hurt quite a bit for a few days, but then started lightening up fairly quickly. Some friends and I moved all my belongings from one apartment to another the following weekend, and with some commitment on my part in therapy, I had doctor's approval to jump again a couple days shy of two months later.

    I could post a couple pictures that other dz.commers have taken while I was driving. But I doubt many here would see the humor in some of them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
