Like BIGUN said, a nice back is a wonderful thing, but I also very much like other body parts, so you should definitely take more pictures and post them here! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I usually pull left-handed on tandems despite pulling right-handed on a sport rig and occasionally right handed on tandems. Don't notice much of a difference. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Odd fact for the day... Just like someone who studies gems is called a gemologist, and someone who studies mammals is a mammalogist, a scientist who studies turtles is called a herpetologist. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Whether I'm buying a canopy or some other piece of skydiving equipment, my choice of dealer hinges on exactly two things...convenience and price. If I'm at a boogie and need a new pair of goggles & some tube stows, I'm gonna buy from the gear store there because it's convenient. If I'm at home and need some cheap somethings, I'll call Square1 because they're convenient. But does ANYONE turn to their dealer for advice on which canopy they should buy?! Is it a wise consumer who goes to the automall and asks a salesman what kind of car he should buy? My conversations with gear dealers consist of "Hey 'Bob'...what price can you give me on such & such?" where I already know exactly what I want. I will continue to select my gear based on my own observations and the word of people I know who actually jump the equipment, not what a dealer suggests. I will also continue to advise novices to solicit gear advice from people who actually know them and who have seen them jump, not some voice on the other end of a phone who's primary interest is profit.

That study is just a bunch of BS lefty propoganda! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Someone putting a number on my phone equates to my stealing/borrowing it??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You're the one who claimed absolute knowledge! : " believe that everyone " All I affirm is that at least 1 (me in case I need to spell things out) person doesnt fall into your presumption. Seconded. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So HIV-positive passengers are excluded from paying the tax? This thread smacks of something downright ugly. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I have my tandem students fill out the space for their jump in my logbook. Sometimes female students write down their number. I've yet to call any of them. The bar conversations that somehow turn to skydiving often involve an exchange of numbers (male or female). I give them my number and figure if they actually want to go skydiving and it wasn't just alcohol-induced bravado, they can call me. I ain't gonna call them. Excluding skydiving, if a woman gives me her number because I asked for it, I'll call. If she just volunteers it in an "I'm interested" sort of way, she's got maybe a 30% chance of getting a call, depending on her qualifications and my current dating status.

Per this poll, it would appear that if the 30 student class were comprised of people who post in Speaker's Corner, AT LEAST 4.8 of them have been, are being, or will be sexually abused, AT LEAST 6.6 of them have been, are being, or will be physically abused, and AT LEAST 7.8 of them have been, are being, or will be emotionally abused. In any case, it's a hell of a lot more than 2 out of 30. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Umm, the filename was "Do not open.jpg" One would think that'd be hint enough! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Yeah, I thought about including a checkbox for "Please check this box in addition to your answer(s)" so we'd know how many total people voted, but figured that would confuse some here. I also considered not allowing multiple answers, but in the end I went with this because it's not like the results are of any real importance. In any case, right now there are 10 No's and 6 for each of the Yes's. So if ALL of the people who were abused checked all 3 kinds, the total would still be 10-6. I've checked back on the results a few times and have seen the Yes's at unequal numbers, so I know the real answer is >6:10. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Oh I'm sure you have beaches. I was just pointing out the lesser hand east coasters were dealt with regard to the direction our planet rotates. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Airtwardo's post in the other thread got me wondering. How many people here were physically, sexually, or emotionally abused? I don't know if Speaker's Corner will provide particularly representative results, but I'm still curious. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Are being? Or have been or will be? Actually, my answer is the same either way. I think more than 2 out of 30 kids are exposed to ongoing (at least occasional) physical, sexual, or mental abuse, and more than that if we include "simple" neglect.
