  1. um, your post was useless. GOSH!
  2. I'm kind of uncurrent in ActionScipting lately, and I have a quick question. My brain is failing me. I have a main movie timeline. I am using "load movie" to load all of my smaller movies to the main timeline in order to keep file size down. That's easy enough... one simple action on a frame: loadMovieNum("movie_a.swf", 20); I'm loading it to level 20 because I have menus and other junk loading onto lower layers. Anywho... that's all irrelevent. I need to do the same thing... load a movie.... from a button, instead of a frame.... and have it start playing at Frame 5 (or I can use a frame label). Help!! What would the script be? Seams so stinkin basic, but I can't make it work. I will buy the person who helps me a beer if I ever bump into them.
  3. damn. that wiill teach me not to read the whole thread. holy crap! i nearly had a heart attack!
  4. leave it to JW to brighten everyone's day! that is some funny sh*t man
  5. Was hillarious. Then again, I love Steve Martin. Go see it with a slight buzz on. It's stupid funny, but it was a great laugh. And yeah yeah... I know... there is nothing like the original, but I still think he did a great job.
  6. prayers. and lots of hugs... because i know how much they are needed right now.
  7. What's it like? Comforting. Fun. Strong. Wonderful. Exciting. So much more. I come from a big family of sisters and brothers, and half sisters and brothers. All together, I am youngest of 9. We are so strong and we keep each other going. Laugh, cry, crawl, run... we are there for each other. This becomes so much more evident when you lose a parent, and you need to be there to pick each other up. So... I love it.
  8. Sprint for 5 years. Cingular for about 6 months now. VERY good switch.
  9. Tough guy You scored 70% masculine, 76% athletic, 45% exotic, and 50% refined! no surprise here. i like my MEN. i hate the girly guys.
  10. 76. I call bullshit. I'll be lucky if I live till 50.
  11. Skydiving rocks. Nuff said. No really.. skydiving to me is... a job, a hobby, a passion, a lifestyle, an endless challenge, and a social circle. It is not everything, but it is a major part of my life. If skydiving ceased to exist tomorrow, I would have a lot of free time on my hands.
  12. I like baby mamma drama damnit. I like you too, sometimes. Other times I think you are worse than a big ol' pooh. You owe me a drink and haven't come through. So come near me, and I may throw a shoe. JW, pinball just ain't the same without you.
  13. In a $1000 gaurantee tourney on bodog right now.
  14. I've done that twice in my life actually, both when I was a younger teenager. The first time was a job at McDonalds. I needed a summer job and could not find one at all, except there. So I sucked it up and went in. It was so hot and disgusting making chicken nuggets. It was about 110 degrees in the kitchen, and you weren't even allowed a break to have water. Oh, and I was grossed out by the guys who were NO JOKE, spitting in the fry grease. I quit 1/2 way through my 8 hour shift. The second time I was about 17 and went to work at this little tiny sandwich/ice cream shop that a friend of the family ownded. I quit after working one day and being treated so horribly by all the regular customers. They didn't like the fact that I didn't know who they were and exactly what they wanted, so they would yell at me. Didn't float my boat.
  15. Ha. No need for me to do that, you manage to come close enough to doing it yourself on your landings hey now... that was a classy landing. i should get an award for it. and it was pretty soft. someone just needs to go cut the grass damnit. note to self... don't drag your toes in tall grass. it is very difficult to recover.
  16. nunya;4;0 4 jumps on saturday. someone was upstairs looking out for us with that weather. holy cow! it was about 70 degrees and blue skies on saturday. nice. i even made a jump with funks and he didn't kill me!!! yay!!!
  17. thanks. powerful thoughts. you rock. i miss my daddy right now, but i know that the time i got with him, especially at the end, was a gift that nobody but God could provide.
  18. Thank you Chris, and everyone. He truely was a wonderful and acomplished man. The obituary only lists about 10% of his acomplishments. It doesn't even mention the fact that he owned a brewery in Amsterdam, which I think is one of the coolest things. The last conversation we had... he woke for a second and looked up and said "Hi, Darlin," to me. I was drinking a beer and said, "Hi, Dad! Want a beer?" And he clearly said "YES!" And that was that. It was warming, especially if you knew him. Before he took very ill, he had finally decided he REALLY wanted to make a skydive. We never got that opportunity. So if any of you jump this weekend, think of him and dedicate a jump to him. That would mean a lot. I will carry a picture of him in my jumpsuit from now on and he will be looking over all of us and protecting us while we play. Thank you for your thoughts. They mean the world to me in these tough times.
  19. Please join me in celebrating the life of my father, Andrew Hunter Bowman. I held his hand today as he took his last breath and joined his brothers and sisters in the paradise up above. A huge hug and thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love and support over these last few months. Cheers to a great man who loved airplanes, good wine, great cooking, brewing beer, and spending time with his enormous family. Andrew Hunter Bowman Andrew Hunter Bowman, 84, of New Brighton, PA passed away on January 23, 2006.

After the war, he returned to American Airlines in Washington, D.C. where he was considered an innovative manager during the early years of commercial airline growth. He was asked to join Marine Midland Bank in New York City where he became the youngest president in the bank's history and worked with many of America's leading businessmen. He became a prominent businessman in New Canaan, CT where he founded the Darby Company, a very successful real estate and insurance company. His greatest strengths were his creativity and determination, and he innovated many successful companies as a business consultant, investment banker and entrepreneur. During the 1960s, he was listed in Who's Who. He was an avid and accomplished cook. His active interest in business issues as well as political and social causes made him many friends. His greatest passion was his family, and he took great joy from being in their lives and from their successes.

Arrangements are being handled by the Noll Funeral Home in Beaver, PA, and burial will be in Harbor Springs, MI.
  20. Yeah, I thought it was kind of ridiculous too. But, oh well. Not out to really offend anyone. Not yet, at least. To spare typing it all out again, this is what I told someone who asked in a PM... This person is the type that does "just enough to get by." She is NOT a team player, which you MUST be on a project such as the one we are on. We have been requested to work no less than 10 hour days. She works about 7 hour days and lets her teammates pick up the slack. She uses every excuse in the book to not be at work... I have a migraine, my car won't start, the dog ate my car keys... really. And I'm not the only one that is sick of it. This is the general concensus around here. Oh... haha... and how can I forget... she is the type that every time someone opens their mouth to tell a story, she either interupts, tries to top it, or tells you you are wrong. I'm sooooooooooooooo glad this is a contract and not a permanent job. And THANK GOD for headphones!!!!
  21. I should edit this... I actually got a PM saying I offended someone who thought I was calling ALL 40-something year olds fat and socially inept. Oh... and if you didn't catch the light-heartedness of this post... I was pretty much being sarcastic. GOSH! [rant] ...is so f-ing hard sometimes!!! Especially when you just want to let it rip on that stupid, fat, ignorant, worthless, waste-of-space cow that you have to call a coworker!!!!! God damn! How do SOME people grow up to be 40-something and remain that socially retarded??? [/rant] ***inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale*** I swear I hate muppets. That's it... I'm going on a smoke break. Carry on.
  22. ; 3; 0 3 jumps. 2 of which were practice for the AFF course. I have never been so exhausted after 2 freakin jumps. AFF is a trip.
