Why's that? Freestyle is what you can do when you get good at freeflying. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

So if she is not unemployed, what's her staus? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I believe he had a packing method contrary to the container manufacturer's instructions. May never know for sure...but quite possiblt the amount of line left unstowed may have had something to do with the malfunction. Hook turning in turbulent conditions on ANY canopy is dangerous. I could go through Ron's list but the point is small things way before the skydive can have a negative effect......there are very few out there as you've stated that are just "shit happens" situations. The hard part is seeing the chain of events before you get started...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

un·em·ployed adj. Out of work, especially involuntarily; jobless. You can't reinvent the definition of the word simply to suport your argument. The goverment doesn't set the definition of the word. Someone who is not employed currently IS unemployed. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

The J3 and J4 will not pack safely with a 150 sized reserve. And when you ask for advice on this website, it's bad form to be rude to those that offer it. If the Sunpath website says that the canopy won't or doesn't fit the containt, you probably ought to pay attention. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

And excuse as to why they are not working. Why should anyone have to make one? That's a personal choice. If I were a "stay at home dad" and some one asked me what I did for work, I definately would not feel the need to defend my choice with some trite phrase..... Did I ever say there were not? Really? You sure about that? Watch your mouth. She's got a PhD. Stop re-inventing the language to suit your ideas. There is no middle ground. Your problem seems to be realizing there is no shame in not working. There is no shame in being a parent. Raising your own kids is work, lots of it, but it's not employment. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Sure they could, and I heard some of them actually slept on the benches....OTH some of the more hardcore just flew all night..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

At the time I believe Thomas was an instructor...... And Orlando doesn't (or didn't at the time) have an e-stop in the flight chamber, so there really was no way out till someone shut it down. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Think in the end most of the words listed here are going to come to that.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Well I got this "package" I need help with you see...... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Maybe I should have said "Words that are over or improperly used". ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I broke the search function. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Because when someone uses the phrase "Full Time Mother" it's very often an excuse. Or providing "validation". What? The want a medal? I guarentee neither of my parents would have ever answered that question in that way. My older sister is what you would call a "Full time mother" and if asked what she does, she'll reply "unemployed". Call a spade a spade. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Yeah, I'm sort of with ya on that one......but it's more about context. Mom talking to child...."drinky-poo" might be ok. Construction forman inviting the crew out at the end of the day? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

What do you do again? I need an excuse to visit your office. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I disagree.....but that's cool ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I wish. There are two things I miss about SoCal on a daily basis..... the good friends I left there, and the ocean. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

"Unavoidable" un·a·void·a·ble Impossible to avoid; inevitable I don't like this word. It is almost always used as an excuse, or denial. Things that are generaly really unavoidable: Passage of time, aging...... So what words do you dislike? ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

And most of those ideas you're talking about were suggested by the 1930's in sci-fi. That's one reason the 1930's are considered the Golden-Era of SciFi. Modern SciFi is still going strong coming up with new ideas.... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

As is fatherhood. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Bull. It is a full time experience (at least for 18 years each kid) but to say that excludes the possibility of someone working...... My mother and father both worked full time jobs an raised us 3 kids. We were not "latch key kids" either. We were never left alone, nor did we have babysitters. They chose to work it out so one worked nights while the other was on days. Both RN's ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Perfect. Much like G-mail does. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Yes. Lost 30 lbs by simply cutting the amount of food I ate, but not the types. The poster that said you can loose weight eating only ice cream is spot on. That's why so many of these stupid diet fads are dangeous. HEALTHY weight loss is done through calorie reduction and increased exercise. Changing what one eats is more nutrition related, but should not be expected to be a weight loss method unless caloric intake is reduced too. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Ingesting far more calories than you expend makes you fat. Eat your white bread, just don't eat a whole loaf at a time. ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.
