Sorry, to interrupt your thread but, has anyone heard anything outa Slappy? I haven't seen him here on dizzy.com. Back to the thread... Chuck

Let's see... my heroes in skydiving are... Bill Booth, Sandy Reid, John Sherman, 'Handsome' Dave DeWolf, Dan Poynter and a few others. They have helped to make the sport better. Chuck

[url] I forgot it was on today! We used to go down and watch them put the floats together in days previous to the parade (my mom used to help with the decorating when she was a kid). I was listening to one of the float designers in an interview. He designs and makes about 20 of the floats each year. He was preparing for the rain this year by buying rain ponchos for his crew to wear today. Good guy. Encore broadcast coming on now. Guess I'll get to see the parade anyway! :^) ltdiver ______________________________________ That's too cool! i forgot about it too but, caught the entire encore on the Travel channel. I love that parade. Especially all the horses. Chuck

_______________________________________ I'm sowy. chuck I love that avatar pic!! And s'okay - it's a new year, so I'm gonna build a bridge and get over myself, or fail miserably and fall on my face. Either way, it's all good.

I watched the Rose Parade. those folks and floats were soaked. Whoever had the slicker concession, made-out like a bandit! Chuck

_____________________________________ I wouldn't worry about a polygraph exam. They will not ask you anything that will get your mother sent to Sing Sing. They are looking for a pattern of honesty. Your best bet is go in, relax (as best you can) and answer truthfully... Yes or No. Follow instructions... no worries. To me, the polygraph, which by the way, is not admissable as evidence in court, is like the old dunking your hand in a bucket of water and someone asking you questions. If, the water ripples... you're lying. Don't worry about it. you'll do fine. Good luck to you. Chuck

__________________________________________ ...and the problem is? Chuck

_______________________________________ Same place I got mine! Try contacting Synthetic Thread Co. If, you have trouble contacting them, let me know. I'll get you a contact number. They handle a very high quality thread. Theirs, is the only kind I'll use. Chuck

_______________________________________ I noticed, you mentioned that you are having trouble with the HB-69 Red, thread. I have had the same problem with that brand thread in Red and Gold. I switched brands of thread! It drove me nuts at first. One question... is the thread kinda 'fuzzy' looking on the spool? Do you get a lot of lint on your needle and around it? I think, it's the brand thread. Chuck

_____________________________________ It's no worse than hearin' the last 3 words outa' your date: "That's him, officer!" Chuck

____________________________________ Fire away! We've all been there! Chuck

___________________________________ Yeah, right! Bobbi got her groove back! Chuck

_________________________________________ Been there done that! After a 2 - for one sale on bean burritos at the Taco Villa! Chuck

______________________________________ Years ago, I was workin' as a deputy sheriff. One of my jobs was transporting mental patient escapees back to the 'home'. That was about a 125-mi. trip, one way. I was taking a very old 'mental' patient back to the home when he asked to use the bathroom. I stopped at the next truck-stop and led him to the rest room. I waited outside the door for him. When he came-out, I asked him if he wanted to get a cup of coffee... so, we did. After we got situated, I told him to keep his seat, I'd be right back. I went to the pay phone and called the office. When I finished my phone call, I headed for my county car and headed on to the hospital. I got to the hospital to let them know I was there. Two aids, came out with me. I opened the door for the aids to get the little old man. You guessed it! It was red lights and sirens back to that truck stop. I was sweatin' like a mule pullin' a plow! I got to the truck stop, gained my composure and went in. there he was.. right where I left him! Chuck

_____________________________________ Doin' that in the grocery store is called... 'crop-dustin'! When I was a kid, I was in church one Sunday and one slipped-out. I was sitting between my mom and some sweet old lady. I just rared-back and curled my nose up like a bull in Springtime. About that time, folks around started lookin' at her! She just sat there with her face buried in the hymnal. Got away with another one! Chuck

___________________________________ Tell me, you didn't feel bad after that!? I'll bet, you felt awful. Chuck

Aw yeah! I mean to tell ya'! I laughed my ass off, when he told me that. His aunts and mother... all, good church ladies. All while I was bustin' a gut and slappin' myself, I kinda' felt bad for him! Chuck

I was recently at a wedding and got there a little early to help get things ready for the caterers. This ol' boy stops me to 'talk' while I'm trying to get outside, 'cause I'm holding back one of the biggest farts known to man. Well, I didn't want to be im-polite to the old man so I stood there visitin'. Meanwhile, I'm holdin' back just as hard as I can and I know, my complexion is a deep blue by this time. Finally! He says he'd see me later and walks away. Noone's around and I can't make it to the door. I looked around and I'm alone! I ease it on out and walk away. I no more than clear the area when the mother of the bride walks through where I was just standing. She let-out a resounding "Good Lord!" as she put her hand over her nose and mouth and ran for the exit! With that, I'm choking back the big laugh and probably looking guilty as sin. Chuck

I noticed, you mentioned Ry Cooder... any of those swamp movies where he did the sound track. Didn't care much for the movies but the music was great! Chuck
