    There were others, however he claimed they had no standing for their opinions. (or something like that) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    It's just a diet coke, but my co-workers ought to get a laugh at me walking around with it to the lips. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I'm gonna have to change my answer, as I'd blocked the memory from conscious thought. Wait does it count if it wasn't me who put it in my mouth but rather one of my tandem students? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Vegemite is really, really bad. Judging by the smell, I imagine kimchee is worse, but I've never been so brave as to actually try it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Holy shit it's Matt! Great idea Matt. Smart friends with letters behind their name are the best sort for this kind of thing becuase they've spent so much time hanging out in college and with wierdo's in labs that they have to pick up some good ideas through osmosis if nothing else.

    I'm going to play devil's advocate here I guess, hopefully without offending anyone. Have we collectively decided that depression is always an illness? Isn't it possible for a rational mind to evaluate a situation and be unhappy with it and the likely future? If that evaluation produces an opinion that death is preferable, is that always a sign of mental illness? I said before that I've never been there (to the point of choosing death), but I'll admit to having been very close, and I never felt like my faculties were reduced. If a person has a terminal disease that is likely to cause a long painful death, is suicide evidence of mental illness? What if they are choosing to not live life as a quadriplegic? Or choosing suicide over a life behind bars? I know these are extreme examples, but I'm using them to posit that there are some conditions for which suicide might seem like a valid option to a person of sound mind.

    Nope, but they have to understand that sometimes more experienced jumpers are not going to want to do that 2-way with them in which nearly half the skydive is spent doing a solo (Cessna jumps). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    From the guys perspective, isn't a slut any girl that has sex with someone but won't have sex with you? No. A slut will have sex with anyone. The word for a woman who will have sex with anyone but you starts with the letter "c". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    The trailer I bought in July has been at dropzones for 4 of the 5 weekends that I've owned it. RV hookups are unnecessary, but the 10 mpg sucks. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    You've hit on something I've maintained since 9/11/01. The maximum terror potential to the US with the minimum investment by those wishing to do us harm lies with "traditional" chemicals, not NBC warfare. I can think of a chemical of which extremely small doses will kill, with months between exposure and symptoms. One could kill far more people by this method than with a dirty bomb, and the process by which it kills is one most people would find quite unattractive. Edit to remove chemical name.

    FYI - it's cumulative days in space, not consecutive. His current stint is just a hair under 6 months (14 April - 7 October). Still impressive though, no doubt about that. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Any idea what percentage of our prison population is serving time for drug-related offenses? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    If W gets a wild hair and comes to stay at the house next to mine, I'll leave for awhile. Not because of whoever might follow him, but because I have standards on the kinds of neighbors I'm willing to live near. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Did you really say "Jeez-o-Pete"??! Get rid of the blue painter's tape. It's paper. Do you know what happens to paper when it gets wet? Duct tape is where it's at. (jeez-o-pete ) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Nope, not that time of month, either. I was thinking something similar. Given that the two people who've responded in this thread describing similar problems (Gia and Sunny) are also women, perhaps a poll in the women's forum and input from a kbordson type could shed some light on something we're not thinking of.

    I just gotta ask...what the hell were you searching for that prompted you to open a thread about Wal-Mart's hours that hasn't been posted to in over 2 years??! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  23. livendive
    I don't like WalMart either, but mainly because the service sucks almost as much as most of the products they sell. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    After 2 (or more) regular static lines and at least 3 practice pull jumps (I'm thinking 6), he got out at 4500, yanked on his 3-ring a couple times, then fell helpless till his AAD fired. He said he couldn't find his ripcord, despite the fact that he landed with it still in plain view right where your cutaway handle is. I can teach skills, but I'm not so sure I can teach desire to live. If he'd given up and dumped his reserve I'd have let him continue. I'm not sure I can fix a tendency to hesitate for 20+ seconds. Even if I have the ability to, I'm not willing to take responsibility for the practical part of the lesson. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    I'm trying to think of a male equivalent to that intro and am drawing a blank. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
