Dammitt...I'm in the middle of the second book right now, and its killing me not knowing who killed Mia and Dag. I don't get much time to pleasure read, so I have a feeling I will be stuck in this phase for a while! +1 for Salander, she's awesome. I know she'll win in the end!

I don't want kids. I guess the maternal instinct was excised from my genome. Luckily, I snagged a great guy that doesn't want them either. I don't think people who want them are crazy...well...maybe a little bit. I wouldn't label it as a 'bad' crazy though, but to me, it is a little crazy to be responsible for the wellbeing of human life that you made. To me, that is extremely overwhelming, and not something that I am personally interested in. My point is that 'crazy' can be highly subjective.

Apparently you didn't read his original post correctly. He merely stated that he respected the thoughts of Ricky Gervais, he wasn't shoving atheism down our throats. Nobody forced you to open up the thread and read it. You could've just passed over it if you didn't agree with it. I don't care that you don't care about what I do or don't believe in. I'm not the one offended. I'm merely pointing out problems with your argument. You seem to be the one offended that Gervais has a plausable explanation for the lack of evidence that there ever was, or is, a God.

Wow. This statement is so full of IRONY, I can't even believe it. I don't particulary recal atheist groups going door to door trying to convert people, but I can name a few religious groups off the top of my head that will do this. I've seen SO MANY MORE religious billboards and big tall crosses in the middle of nowhere than I ever have atheistic sentiments. A few crackpots?? How about thousands and thousands and thousands spanning countless countries, transcending centuries of time?? As an agnostic and leaning more towards atheism, I am more accepting and tolerant of people who don't look like me, talk like me, or act like me than most religious people I know. I once had a conversation with my best friends husband; He, a devout baptist, proceeded to tell me that through teachings in his church and religous social group he learned and now believes that homosexuality is a sin that cannot be forgiven. Gay people are disgusting, they are vile, they don't deserve to have the same rights to marry as heterosexuals. Wow was all I could say. Now thats what I call religious tolerance For the record, I'm not gay, but strongly believe that a human is a human is a human, and everybody deserves the same basic human rights. Many christians get so offended when people don't express belief in a God, but most atheists I know couldn't care less about what other people believe.

Somebody further up the thread suggested having a camera instruction course. Being in the 150 jump range myself with the wish of someday jumping a camera, I think that's a fantastic idea. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wingsuit instructional courses are on the rise, and aren't there now official 'wingsuit instructors' when there never used to be? And wouldn't you say its been beneficial for people entering winsuiting? Overall, you produce a winsuiter that is now probably safer and better than if they would have gotten spotty guidance from multiple people. Same goes for camera flying. If there were camera instruction courses, it gives newbies like me a disciplined path to becoming a safe camera flyer. From what I've seen, it can be difficult to single a camera flyer out and become their understudy. They either are too busy working or maybe just frankly don't want to waste jumps or time to teach an infant vidiot. BUT...if there were a comprehensive video course that teaches safety, body positioning, camera basics, and other techniques, I'd be the first to sign up and pay for that instruction. I would learn much faster doing that than hitting up camera fliers for tips every other jump. Maybe there already is some camera instruction course out there that I don't know about. If so, disregard this and give me some contact info so I can find it!

Here I come, Skydive Arizona!

Ahh! I hate that phrase! All of a sudden everybody and their mother is using it. Drives me nuts! Just sayin' But really, it drives me nuts. But I agree skyrider, people use it at the end of sentences, and it doesn't add any substance. I know, you just said it, you dont have to tell me that you were 'just saying'...

QuoteSpoken like someone who never had to drive a rear wheel drive car in winter. I admit, between four wheel, all wheel, front wheel and rear wheel I'm not last place, but I still can't guaruntee I will make it to my destination when the roads haven't been plowed yet! And plus, if I know I'm living in an area with tons of snow, If I had a rear wheel drive, it would not be my only car. People in the Sierras and everywhere else that gets seasonal snow are silly to have a rear wheel drive as their only vehicle. I love the snow, and LOVE to snowboard, but when you get quite a bit of it, it just immobilizes the city...people hitting into each other, roll overs on the interstates...all on the weekend that most procrastinators are doing their Christmas shopping so there's a ton of people slipping down the road. The worst that I remember in recent years was five years ago where I lived. I had just gotten my wisdom teeth taken out two days prior and we went into town to do some shopping. Its snowing like crazy, which put us late getting home, and by then my pain pills had totally worn off. The snow was up to my hips and our drive way is about 1/4 mile long on an incline. After an hour of trying to clear the driveway, we ended up leaving the car on the side of the road and hoofing it back and forth with all the groceries and shopping bags in waist high snow. With my mouth throbbing in pain I remember thinking,'I'll never be more miserable than I am right now!' Ahh, memories Anybody else got any snowed in memories?

Hindsight is 20/20...its easy to say what he should have done, but when placed in a situation where your life is in peril, the brain is not necessarily processing clearly and rationally. Its similar to having a malfunction in my opinion; you're in an extremely stressful situation, and some people say the craziest thought processes enter their mind that they never would've imagined. That security guard might very well already be regretting his chain of events now and be asking himself, 'Why did I waste time, I should have just entered and shot the guy much earlier.' Did anybody see that that security guard is a super stand up guy, donating much of his life to his Santa charity? Apparently he was on Oprah years ago for all his selfless volunteer work. Luckily, all the cogs and events of this situation resulted in the best possible outcome.

So far we have almost a foot of snow. The bad part is that this is only day 1 of a 4-day snow storm My front wheel drive Toyota is not going to be happy, and I might have to resort to hooking the dogs up to a dog sled if I'm to go anywhere this weekend Tahoe is apparently projected to get up to 15 feet of snow this weekend!

I also have the Incredible and have been extremely happy with it. Its fast, highly customizable, very convenient with my Google accounts. And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant. D.S. #8.8

He didn't ask what kind you got, he asked for pictures of Javelins. To the OP- search the forums for 'post your Odyssey' or 'post your Javelin'...there are several existing threads with lots of pictures of pretty Javs :) Don't hesitate to look at the threads of other brand of containers; many times, even if the rig is a different brand that you want, if like the coloring, you can 'adapt' a color scheme/design to the rig you want.

Dammit! This app is so damn elusive! It's still not out for the public. Some new phones have it, but the Incredible doesn't, and I've been trying to get ahold of it for months...guess I'll just wait. This annoys me too. After they did the big update, all that crap was on my phone too. City ID, stocks, Twitter, etc. And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant. D.S. #8.8

Congrats!! Good luck on writing! I'm a grad student too (masters), but I have several PhD students in my lab who are studying for comps right now, and they look so worn down and defeated! No comps for me, but I still have results and discussion left to write for my thesis, when is the madness over?! Have you ever seen the Grad School Barbie spoof? If not, google it, it is HILARIOUS and oh so true And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant.

HaHa! The joys of having a parent in law enforcement! It sure was fun, wasn't it?! I used to go on coroner calls with my mom, I got to see some crazy stuff! The funniest thing is that my mother is such a speed demon, that if we were traveling out of state or where people didn't know her, she ended up getting the ticket about 50% of the time when she got pulled over! Got so many that she actually had to go to traffic school And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant.

My mom's been a police officer for 36 years, so the whole Police Dept knew who I was and saw me grow up, so I got countless warnings in high school, and no tickets, and some "Tell your mom I said hello, and slow down okay?" But after I moved away for college, dang! Nobody knew my mom anymore, I couldn't use her as a scape goat! I've gotten probably two warnings and one ticket. When I get pulled over, I'm nice and respectful. And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant.

You asked, so there you go. Got a ton of data analysis to do today, so have a great day

The only thing I'm uptight about is finishing my godforsaken masochistic masters thesis, NOT this dinky little thread. I'm just observing that you automatically call people names if you don't agree with them. I could give two shits about you calling me names, you are the least of my worries.
