  1. Here's a quote from the Sate Attorney in Orlando."Tomorrow, Lamar said that his homicide teams will return to work on the county's 140 pending murder cases – 11 of which are child murders. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  2. So sorry to hear this Chris. I know Shakey was family to you and Julie. You gave her a great 16 years. She could not have had better "parents". You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  3. Sucks. OTH, I've done quite a few services w/o mentioning God in any form. Just depends on who's officiating I suppose. Yeah my friend ended up conducting the funeral himself. I just thought it was interesting they had noone available. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  4. QuoteI said it before in a similar thread: religious people should be allowed to have religion at their funeral, but non-religious people should be allowed to have a religion-free funeral. Anyone attending a funeral (military or otherwise) should respect the wishes of the family of the departed.Quote Not directly related but something I found interesting. My busineess partner's father passed away several months ago. He already had a plot and had paid for the funeral. When my partner went to the funeral home to make the arrangements he asked if they could get a speaker that would not talk about religion during the memorial (his father was an atheist). He was told they did not have ANYONE that would conduct the funeral without talking about God. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  5. I think you did the best you could with the situation like Dave said "Suck it down a little lower and see if you come out of the bottom, and if a few extra seconds doesn't put you in the clear, proceed with break off and hope for the best.". I have been in the same situation. I think it was a 5 or 6 way. All the jumpers were experienced and heads up. One thing when we did break off everyone turned slowly from center keeping an eye on all the other jumpers and getting the best line from center as possible to increase seperation.I did take it down lower than I normally do (not in the basement just closer to 2500 than 3000).

  7. QuoteI can't believe that the series is over so soon and we have to wait so long for the 2nd reply] I love the series but HBO always does this. They get you hooked on a series then we have to wait a frickin year for the next season. My wife and i loved Deadwood and then between seasons they just decided to not make any more episodes You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

    old new guy

    Did my AFF1 at 39 and looking to my 48th B'Day soon, chonologically you are not to old. How are you mentally and phyically? Some 40(ish) year olds are way to old for this, some 60+ are not. Same here did my first jump at 39 I'm 51 now and jumping more than ever edited to add: Some days I am the youngest jumper in the group You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  13. Hah, I had that design printed out a few years ago because I wanted to get it because of the whole being straight edge and the irony of the mushroom as well as because Super Mario Bros was amazing. But when I took it to the place to get it done the really pretentious girl working the desk was like "oh I have that too! And so does my friend!", turns out almost every second person does. Kind of put me off, what can I say, I`m just a rebel that way. I'm sure that's going to trigger some ideas for males here looking to get some new ink ;o Here's one of my skydiving related tattoos. Speaking of the video game refernce my son just got a Cutman for the Mega Man games on his forearm You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

  15. Gotta be careful with those assholes... Actually, come to thing of it, I believe all the RW organizers are assholes Robert I believe you are correct and Faulk04 we will make you a Muff Brother while you are here.
  16. Look me up when you get to Z-Hills or drop me an e-mail ahead of time (my e-mail address is in my profile). I will make sure you get on some organized loads. There are usually 3 or more of us taking all diffferent experience levels. Unfortunately you might be forced to jump with me You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!

  21. My suggestion would be to speak to either the DZO or the S&TA as those guys should have an overview of what the other jumpers should be doing. Give them an outline of what you plan to do and ask if this fits in with the way the DZ runs and if there is anything you should be aware of. I would not personally assume anything about a new DZ - it's so much safer to ask and get the facts. Shah it would be a good idea also to speak up in the loading area to let everyone on the load know what your plans are. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  22. Doesn't that mean that he did not clear his airspace?? You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  23. I've never been able to figure out why this bothers people. +1 where's the "who gives a f@ck" option in the poll edited to add: I rarely think to update my jump numbers in my profile You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
  24. WOW only one of those seems to imply you have to move if traffic is speeding. Virginia slower* 46.2-804(1) 46.2-842.1 requires vehicles in the left lane to yield to faster traffic; State Police say this applies even when faster traffic is speeding. From the Florida Drivers Handbook. It says slower than the flow of traffic not slower than the speed limit. 5.9.1 - Driving Too Slowly is also Against the Law Drive with the flow of traffic (within the speed limit). You should not drive so slowly that you block other vehicles moving at normal, safe speeds. When driving slower than the flow of traffic , keep right so others may safely pass.

  25. Even if it's that blonde, petite, blue-eyed coed I've been waiting for since the first one in 1973? Don't give up Hope Andy. She'll show up eventually. You can't be drunk all day if you don't start early!
