Well that's pretty damned cool then ... Unreal, you might say My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Where are these photos from? Again, it's not that I think the feat impossible, it's just that the photos look so very fake. Shot nine is the worst of all. I mean the body keeps changing color, it's head seems to have stretched sideways, and the way the it's body leaves the screen and then comes back right next to itself suggests a fold that would not be possible. Perhaps I'm a retarded sherlock at this point... I just can't beleive the shot. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Is that what happens? Is that why he's so pale where he is full? look at shot 9... see the yellow area? It seems this is the actual snake and the "stretched" part has been added. If you actually cut it out and compare it to the red area (see the second shot)... hmmm. I don't know. I'm still thinking it's a job. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I call shinanigans by pic 3. Not that I beleive the feat entirely impossible, just that the pics seem very clearly photoshoped to me. Look, from pic three and onwards, the portion of the snake which has kangaroo in it is a different shade altogether. Is it me? I can't take them for real. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Where? In Poland? I wouldn't know specifics about Poland but we are talking about something which does need to be pretty standard across the board. In Canada, NavCanada holds aptitude tests from time to time. You have to be a citizen, you have to be 18 years old or more, you have to have completed high-school. Other than those requirements, you pay the fee ($200CND), you write the test. It's an aptitude done in five sections: Verbal Evaluation Numerical Estimation Diagramming Spatial Reasoning Basic Checking They are very interested in seeing how you manage your time during these tests. If you look attractive to them based on your tests results, you are contacted for an interview. The interview is not really like any other. You are asked to describe, for example, situations you've been in where there is much at stake and where you've performed calmly... or swiftly... preferably both. If the interview goes well, you may be offered a spot in the training facility. Training is tough, lot's of memory work, long hours, many drop out. It's something like $2500 to be trained VFR and $3500 IFR and the training is just over half a year. I've heard it's similar around the planet... In Canada, the training facility has "everything you need" (grocery, barber, restaurants), some go and never go outside! If you do well and pass, they will place you somewhere. Pay is good and there are all sorts of bonuses. For example, they will pay you an additional $8000.00CND if you are posted to a remote loctation. Burn-out rate is high but you get lot's of time off. As a skydiver, you may feel you will deal with the "stresses" of holding lives in your hands with minimal time to react to a given situation better than most. PM me for more info if you like. I applied, did the apt test, did an interview... not for me I don't think. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

It is very refreshing to hear things like that. I am very happy for you. Personally, I have given up. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Uh-huh. If you had an Apple Orchard and an Orange Orchard seperated only by a fence, this thread basically demostrates that the one performing best will be the one you are not currently standing in. "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." They say. Since we are talking about relationships here, I'd have to elaborate on that and say: "The grass is always greener, where the dogs have been shitting." My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Ditto. The whole "don't $h!t where you eat" thing. Best not to muddy the waters you play in with relationship wreckage. By that rational, you would never do anything with your partner... that you enjoyed doing? Do you not also "eat" at "home" ? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

I used to think anything was possible, relationship-wise. Since Heather and I broke up, I've converted. IMO, today there is barely a f*cking chance at a meaningful relationship between two people anyway. Add skydiver/whuffo tension into the blender? Next to impossible. The whuffo has to become somewhat involved... at least educated to the point where he/she understands. The skydiver has to find out what makes the whuffo tick (if anything... It seems some people just simply... exist) and develop a slight interest... it's only natural, sh*t won't work unless you understand what drives your partner. Of course you can't call 'em whuffos anymore if they don't ask the question "Whuffo you jump from dat der airplane fo?" right? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Check it Check it... Check, check it out! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Bwhahahaaa! I was pretty sure you'd not be into that sort of thing... at least I was hoping. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

How to tell if a girl likes you? Well there are two schools of thought. Here are a couple tactics from both sides of the force. Good Boy Tell a joke you know isn't all that funny in front of friends you know won't laugh. If she does, Find an excuse to hand her something (small enough to close your hand on) such that you are putting your hand into hers. Don't drop the item but pause. If she also pauses without pulling her hand away, Bad Boy Kick her in the ass. Hard. If she doesn't go away, Go on a hot date with her sister and/or mom. Bed them. Give her the gnarly details. If she looks sad, My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

The list is everchanging but there are some regulars My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Took me a little while to figure out what B.O.B stood for. You girls are a dirty lot yeah? Report Here please! Okay, so new to the popsicle thing yeah? Check the first picture... I'd say this be the Best in terms of a first... You know? So that you can progress at your own pace? My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Oh my ugly mug is floatin' around here somewhere. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Giggly are we? [get's out the paddle]... well that's not good... that's BAD. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Where's the "switch hitter" option? Love to Administer ... Love to be punished for it My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

You mean René Descartes? Very Very Close, he was. "If I know that I am, I must also know what I am; an understanding of my true nature must be contained implicitly in the content of my awareness. " -René Descartes The notion that if you are not thinking at all, you do not exist at all was his. He, afterall, proclaimed that we are no more than minds. "sum res cogitans" ("I am a thing that thinks"). It's brilliant!... but it is backwards. We do not think because things are. Things are because we think. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

If she wasn't so antifnsocial maybe I would My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Good, maybe it's due to a quick workout. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Oh yeah? Niiiiice My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Funny, you'd think Frenchy's saying he'd have sex with whomever posted below him would be like locking a thread.... curiously... we have posts! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

Unions are like Organized Religion There was once upon a time, an absolute, unquestionable NEED for organizations which would help those involved get by with reasonable expectations of a decent life... Over time however, these organizations became drunk with the power of control instilled in them and are used today by their members solely as excuses to do whatever the hell they want. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

That's your opinion, but does not bear on whether she CAN or CAN'T do it. I think Tom may have been hinting at the safety aspect too. An asshat's Union picket line can be a violent violent place if you try and get by. Lot's of asshat's in one place at once. All of them taking it as a personal insult that you want to come in and do the job you are being paid to do. If you find yourself having to cross a real picket line, go OVER it and not through... and do it in your CAR instead of on foot. But listen, just as the others said, wait until you hear from your Union. Consequences? There will likely be none if your union strikes and you don't go to work. If your union strikes and you still want to go?... Well then, make sure your car doors are locked when you drive over those on the line. My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!

A whicked-good varient to that: Grape Popsicle (you know, the ones you split in two?) Face cloth kept in a pot of hot water (so that things don't get to sticky) Go until you melt... the popsicle that is... and then you've another half to try again. (plus, you can nab a taste of the treat when she's her eyes closed. lol) My Karma ran over my Dogma!!!
