  1. Spence, I wasn't going to say it because my god the flaming I would get but....I agree with you with respect to the "issues". Something to be said about a woman who has few if any female friends..... Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  2. She's a collector. Thoughts, and I guess that includes pissing matches. What are your thoughts on a girl who only has guy friends? I have my personal thoughts on the matter, I call these girls "collectors" and as such though nice people I tend to avoid them like the plague. What are your thoughts, in this sausage fest of a hobby we enjoy. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  3. Except that one million dollars does not buy you much in the European playground for the rich and famous. Nope but! 1) You get free cable. 2) Who knows maybe she will meet a nice rich dude? It's times like this that i kick myself for having bought my condo for me and the X wife and did not liquidate it when she asked for a divorce. Live and learn I guess. Own nothing and live a good life. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  4. My favorite argument thus far regarding increasing taxes on the top 5% is that these "talented" individuals will leave the country......yeah right! We have the lowest taxes on the planet with the highest security. Unlike say Russia where if you were worth a few million you could be killed at any given time here you can life the high life paying well under 30% taxes on your income and even less if your income comes from selling stocks. Sorry boys, you can get into a pissing match all you want but both sides know exactly who butters their bread and I'll give you a little hint, it's not the average Joe or Jane. It's the guy willing ready and able to write a check for $100k for a political cause. And now that companies can write unlimited checks for anyone....well....how can I say this? The rich will get richer, the poor will die off and the middle class? Well all I have to say is thank god I know how to speak Spanish! And before you get ready to spin. The federal government has about 2.5 million people on its pay roll. As of January the federal government cut their pay increases and potential for promotion for the next 2 to 5 years to save the tax break for the top 5%. So who do you think will grow the economy and help out of this mess? 2.5 million middle class federal employees? Or the top 5%? Think about it.

  6. why was my name brought up man? WTF? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  7. 16 years, amazing! I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  8. Yeah about that. And I don't think I'm ever going to go any smaller. I kind of like the slow ride down. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
  9. *dooh* yeah you are 100% right. The increase in speed is most likely due to releasing the breaks. However I landed her both ways, slider up and slider down and she just "sounded" faster. But it could just be there "sound". Flying a full ZP canopy is nice. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  10. So why only valves per cylinder? Isn't it....a bit....of out of date technology? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

    She was a beautiful bird. Later this week if it's ok with the mods I will add hot links to a number of videos a number of local students produced for my office. Their take on the program is amazing. It's a shame we have nothing to replace it. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  12. Aggie, Thank you. I'm assuming I'm in half breaks and thus not in full flight and as such it is the best time to adjust. The first time I did that...wow! Talk about speeding up! I did not expect how much faster the parachute flew once that 2sqft of material was stowed away. Again thank you!

  13. Quick question and sadly I forgot to ask my rigger or those at my home DZ. Yesterday was the first time I jumped my own parachute, a 210 Triathlon, it is equipped with a collapsable slider that can be pulled down. Just want to make sure I'm flying safely. Pull, look around quick, look up to assure all is well with the parachute, collapse slider and pull down and then do a control check? Also how does one sow the slider behind ones head? Am I missing a trick? Thanks! ps yeah she's fun! and oh my god so much better more fun and easier to land than the Navigators I was use to....but...oh wow does she "sink" Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  14. Yep. The fact is, the Chrysler "Hemi" of today doesn't actually use a hemispherical head in its engine; it's simply a Trademark. +1! Yeah nothing amazing could be much better but your average consumer doesn't like too many different things especially since they really don't understand what is under the hood. Sadly my 20 valve engine with it's little turbo is more efficient per CC. But it also does require more work and most people are just not into that. Thus why here in the US we have a large number of rather "dumb" engines that just "work". But yeah, it's just a trade mark that people understand or think that they do.

  15. Keep in mind that is a UK size 5 US size 7. Damnit I am a 6.5...I lose. Well, he probably wants a smaller foot, so when it's up his ass, it's not quite as painful. OK you know what...now I call personal attack. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  16. I'm sorry, I wish there was something I could do to help. Doing my best to send positive vibes your way. Hope things get better.

  17. There is funny and then there is disrespectful. This is disrespectful. And before it turns into a thread of personal attacks....stop.

  19. What if she had a petite female build, but broke out mad wushu skills to do the ass-kicking? Oh she was gorgeous! But then I was less secure and the thought that my girlfriend could kick some guys ass was a bit much for me. Such is life, we live and we learn.

    Seriously? Holy crap that's f*cked up. No joke brother. I went from on a Thrusday evening looking for hotels in New Orleans for a mini vacation to getting the text message 5 days later on a monday evening while I was waiting for Yoga class to start. So yeah, that will cause a guy who was unsure about kids to not want to ever take the risk.

    Thank you. Yeah well...not wanting kids is not fun. I was on date #2 with this rather nice girl, educated, well put together 31ish. And well being smart after the bill had come and I said not to worry that I would cover it she brought up the question. "Why do you not want to have kids?" Needless to say there will be no date #3 If someone wants to make a boat load of cash, starts a dating web page for those who don't wish to have kids! That I would pay for!

  22. You be nice or I'll have my date there come over and kick your ass! Chicks with "sticks" are kinda scary At university I dated this girl who played ice hockey...it was all fun and games untill I said "You be nice or I'll have my date there come over and kick your ass!" and realized....she could and that was just not sexy.
