Is that like Going Postal, but w/ceramics?

Aw, come on, Chuck. Ceramic Squirrels aren't inherently evil. It's only the accessibility, & resultant ease of spontaneity that creates the carnage. Let's allow evil right's usurpers to create a mountain of bureaucratic BS to help keep these squirrels out of good Peoples' hands. That way, only the bad People in society will have them. Yeah, that makes sense ... P.S.: I was SO expecting to see a West Virginia address in that article. Mea Culpa .

It's common, & should improve w/time. My Ears don't equalize well. They get wonky w/the first jump of the day, & sometimes stay wonky until I'm done. That's usually when the pollen count is through the roof. I've found the prescription nasal spray Astelin to be very helpful when it gets troublesome, btw. It's a steroid, but doesn't go systemic. It's perfectly safe. Your ears should become accustomed to the sport, w/time. Until then, just be happy it doesn't cause you pain. It can, & isn't pleasant.

so now that the government can mandate that we buy something . . .
PiLFy replied to turtlespeed's topic in Speakers Corner
Hi Don, I usually don't post in this forum. Too many people here love to argue for argument's sake. Respectfully: 1) "Everybody gets medical care for injury or severe illness, and the bill run up by the uninsured largely gets shifted to those with insurance (i.e. the system in place up until the ACA, and apparently still preferred by the GOP)." The bills get shifted to the State & Fed Govt.s. They don't like that. It makes them have to give back some of the monies they've stolen. Much better for them to pervert a noble notion of Equality, & shift the costs to the masses. The overwhelming majority of so-called Invincibles require either no health care, or not much. That same large demographic sees their financial prospects greatly diminished due to the continued importation of H1Bs & illegal immigrants. A lot of young people are wasting on the vine because of abusive Govt. policies. Those same corrupt systems are now telling these kids that they have to pay even more of their too few dollars to fund health care for those much farther up the food chain. Those Kids are (rightfully, IMHO) saying FU2. 2) "Nobody gets treated, ever, no matter how dire their circumstances, until they prove adequate insurance coverage or they pay in advance. This will, of course, require hospitals to literally refuse treatment to people and send them home, sometimes to die, untreated." They'd never get away w/it. That pesky ole Second Amendment would enable the wronged to defend their rights. "This will also necessitate that people with communicable diseases such as TB either be allowed to walk around in public, exposing us all to disease, or require the law to confine those people." Imprisoning people for months/years when treatment is readily available would bring up that pesky SA clause, again. There are lots of asymptomatic people spreading illness before realizing, or simply not caring if, they're infecting others. Incidentally, the highest rate of TB infection in the Western world is in the UK, specifically in London. Their universal health care doesn't protect them while they import thousands from Third World pie holes who cough their filth all over whoever is around them. "But at least you (and I) won't have to pay a dime for those slackers!" Yes you will, especially when mass unrest erupts. 3) "Require everybody to be insured. I'd be OK with exempting people who could post a bond sufficient to pay for any care out of pocket, say $500,000 or so." You might be very surprised to see how fast $500K could be burned through. People w/o insurance pay the highest rates for all of health care, by far. If you were a 1%er, you might be able to take that gamble. It would be much better for you to have your thieving buddies up on the Hill simply push through the ACA. Then, you could keep all that money you stole. The ACA is most definitely about the cost of health care. There is NOTHING noble about its intentions, only the chaff... -
While you're waiting for more replies to come in. I'll direct you to our search function. In the upper righthand corner of this page, you'll see a search bar. Typing in the query "Amputee" brought these results: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=amputee%20&sb=score&mh=25 Lots of good info, there. Good Luck.

That was fast. Congrats . Have you found the jumpers here who are also amputees? I think I've seen 4-5 who specifically are missing an arm. Best of Luck.

Like the whole gun buyback program..? The real criminals will never turn in their guns, and crime will continue flourish. FIFY...

"You do know that you aren't doing them a favor with the visa program? You've giving them visas because they bring value TO the US... throwing them out of it doesn't seem like the brightest move." I beg to differ. H1B visas are like lottery tickets in India. They come over here, & steal jobs from Americans. Large Corporations expend tremendous effort to get out of hiring Americans for those supposedly hard to fill jobs. I work in nursing. The quality of H1B nurses is usually substandard, often times badly so. BUT...they WILL work cheaper, & won't demand a raise every year... That's why the monied dirtbags in Washington try to increase the quotas every chance they get. They do NOT bring value to America. They take it away. They're helping to kill this country. I repeat. They can go to Hell... I recall a case from several years ago. A Russian diplomat got so drunk, he crashed & flipped his car in heavy traffic. No one else got hurt. Unfortunately, he didn't kill himself. Of course, he claimed his diplomatic immunity, & was expelled from the country. Good Riddance.

!! Truth Hurts... Arisakas are actually better than a lot of hunting rifles out there: http://www.gunsandammo.com/2013/12/05/wwii-rifles-pacific-m1-garand-vs-arisaka/

They need those unsecured guns for the next time those POSs pull something like this: http://www.examiner.com/article/five-years-later-no-accountability-for-post-katrina-gun-grab http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-taU9d26wT4 http://www.amazon.com/The-Great-New-Orleans-Grab/dp/0970981333 They will NOT be allowed to do that again. Essentially stealing an Arisaka rifle for only $50 is a separate issue...

5th Grader Suspended for Shooting Imaginary Bow and Arrow at Classmate
PiLFy replied to rickjump1's topic in Speakers Corner
Mmkay... If lil Johnny sets up his tree stand by the bus stop, & slams a 125gr broadhead through that little shit. I'll have to admit they had a point. He hasn't done that yet, though. Has He? There seems to be no end to the asinine situations like this in elementary schools across the country. I don't know how any male teachers can stand working in such an environment... I hope lil Johnny comes back w/counter-accusations, & sues them all. -

Official advice for skydiver with a cochlear implant?
PiLFy replied to Eddles's topic in Skydivers with Disabilities
Oh, I can't see a Manufacturer doing that. How about gathering as much proof as you can find, here. Then, present it to her ENT? Written authorization from her treating MD should placate them. -

Here, Others jump w/them without any problem.

It's not insecurity. I'm guessing you're a younger guy? It's regional &/or generational. If you must? You must... But, Please don't tell me you also wear your pants halfway down your Butt .

"Who knows what it really was, all I know is it sucked." They'd have seen you get slammed (no snivel). Sounds like you may have gotten a little spank, aided by possibly poor body position. There are different tricks to make openings far more pleasant. You have to get further into your progression, first. Talk to your instructors about it. Plus, your body will get used to this sport. For example, leg straps used to cause me a fair amount of discomfort. Just hanging in the harness for a couple of minutes, was painful. I simply got used to it, in time. Best of Luck

Your legs look longer than mine. Definitely wasn't them. It was your anklet socks... Guys just shouldn't wear those things . Did your instructors say it was a slammer? Big difference between that, & just getting a little spanked on an opening.
