The frontpage (www.dropzone.com) looks normal, but the forums list, each individual forum, all messages, and this message interface are all displayed in a startlingly large font that's actually kind of irritating. I re-booted my machine and that didn't fix it, so I'm wondering if everyone else is seeing the same thing. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I made about the same mistake with my grandfather Roy. I was going to stop and see him at the hospital, but was running late getting to a friend's house for a party. He was steadily improving and had just that day eaten his first solid food in 3 weeks and had gotten himself to the bathroom. I drove right past the hospital that evening figuring I'd stop in the next day on my way home, when I'd have more time to visit. I received a phone call at my friend's house the next day telling me that I needed to come home and that stopping at the hospital would serve no purpose. The hour drive home pretty much sucked out loud, especially as I passed the hospital. I'd certainly like that Friday night back. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I guess it would depend on whether I was able to change something or just enjoy a moment again. Change something list - Do-overs on high school Not make the mistakes by which I've hurt people Re-live the last times I saw some people A few other mistakes a little too personal for this forum Just enjoy the moment list - First jump Swimming w/ dolphins Snorkelling in the Philippines A certain brawl in Okinawa A few different "romantic" moments Any of several meals/bottles of wine A couple of different days snowboarding Summer solstice ('92) in Sitka, AK San Carlos boogie '01 etc. Just thinking about those kinds of moments while making this list was pretty nice.

Well I don't agree with the gist of it, but I don't see how it's "racist". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I once had the insanely cool experience of swimming (nude at that) with 3 dolphins, in the wild, for about 2 or 3 minutes. My take on it was likely affected by the "emotional support" I got from watching dolphins during a very difficult time in my life, but even with that fact aside, it was a freaking cool experience.

That's true. No right-wing guy has ever second-guessed a woman's choice to have an abortion. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Heard about this one on the radio the other day... BERLIN (Reuters) - German police have caught a man playing the flute with both hands as he sped through traffic at 130 kph (80 mph) on a busy highway. “He was leaning back in the seat and steering the car with his knees and feet,” said Johann Bohnert, a spokesman for police in the town of Traunstein near the Austrian border. “He looked like he’d had practice.” He now faces a fine of 50 euros (35.2 pounds). The 52-year-old from Salzburg in Austria, birthplace of Mozart, the composer whose works include the opera “The Magic Flute”, told police he was not actually blowing the instrument. “He said he was just practising fingerings,” said Bohnert.

Maybe not, but I got 40 replies and 76 votes...that's gotta be a record response to any of my posts! :-) Anyhow, the descriptors do ring fairly true for the couple people whose personalities and sleeping positions I know. I'm sure there are people who are polar opposites of whatever this would suggest, but I'm definitely not one of them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Been there, got the T-shirt. I think it cost me a couple paychecks. Do they still do that "around-the-world" thing? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That was selfish New Jumps suits for you huh? That had NOTHING to do with my gift selection! Anyway, it's a hell of a lot better than the shop vac I got her for Christmas. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Me too. According to the article though, it's the least common position, at only 6.5%. I bet it ends up significantly above that in this population.

According to this article, researchers have found a link between sleeping position and personality type. They identified 6 basic positions, as follow: fetal = shy and sensitive back (with arms down) = quiet and reserved side (with arms down) = social and easy-going side (with arms outstretched) = suspicious "freefall" (flat on stomach, hands by head) = brash and gregarious "starfish" (on back with arms & legs oustretched) = unassuming, good listeners. Which (predominately) are you? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

My girlfriend's is the 11th. She was SO happy with the sewing machine I got her.

I'm a bit excited that we might have a good choice, rather than having to pick the least of numerous bad choices. I too have been impressed by Clark's ability to speak intelligently, especially off the cuff. I haven't yet researched his position on topics of importance to me, but the fact that he seems intelligent bumps him up in front of several of his competitors, as well as his Republican opponent if he wins the nomination.

How much do you trust your cypres?
livendive replied to Harksaw's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'd do it on my own reserve packjob. It's not that I "trust my cypres", as I don't have one, but rather that $100,000,000 would be awful nice, the rush would be pretty intense, and if it didn't work, I'd only be bummed for a second or two.

C-206 w/ cargo door. S/L student chickens out when door opens & rides plane down. Comes back next weekend "ready to jump" now. At 1000 feet, JM unhooks student's "Hooker" seatbelt & turns his radio on. While JM is spotting, student hooks seatbelt back around his legstrap. JM doesn't notice, student jumps and falls about 2 feet. Whap-whap-whap against the bottom of the plane, JM finds hookknife & cuts seatbelt. Normal deployment & landing (he actually made the landing area). When JM lands, student says "wow, the fall before the parachute opened lasted longer than I expected" and didn't remember flopping around under the plane at all. It was only after being told what happened that he recalled hooking the seatbelt back up because he was scared he'd fall out. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Of course you are bad people, taking brownies from little girls! But covering your tracks with the picture of the cat was pure brilliance. I'd call it a wash, since the brownies probably would have rotted the kids teeth and ruined their appetites anyhow. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I like 'em. It's nice to not have to go to class every week. The only downside is keeping procrastination at bay, 'cuz they expand the workload to make up for the time you're not in class. I made the mistake of taking 3 at the same time last year, and with 2 weeks to go had a 15 page paper and two 20 page papers due, as well as two proctored finals. Turned into the mother of all cram sessions the last weekend. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
