  1. It's very head shape dependent, though. Because the Z1 in extra large was so close to my face that the shield did nothing but keep the wind out of my eyes -- any kick would have hit me. I tried it on, no way. But a medium KISS fits me; a large (or maybe XL) Oxygn. Same thing with motorcycle helmets. You have to try them on. Wendy P.
  2. I know that if (as an example) Trump were the one who was pro-choice, and the Democrats against, I'd weigh the damage that Trump could otherwise do very heavily against choice, because the country is a whole lot harder to put back together if its basic tenets are no longer generally respected (e.g. constitution, rule of law, law applying equally to everyone, depending on money of course) than if one thing that I find to be relatively heinous happens (state-by-state choice, which is the only really likely thing now). But each candidate would change the equation. And why do I say that? Because I hate those "make a choice so I can beat you up about it" questions. It's like asking someone if they've quit beating their kids yet, leaving no room between a swat and an actual beating. Wendy P.

    Thanks. And I might start masking in more crowded venues again; this is a farming area, with plenty of both dairy and meat cattle. Wendy P.
  4. I got the same error testing, so it's not a personal problem. Meso? Wendy P.
  5. I first heard that Dorothy Parker coined it. But maybe not; the internet seems to disagree Wendy P.
  6. And that’s why it all comes down to respect for me. Because by considering how to treat someone with respect, generally I don’t offend. That means my violently evangelical sister in law doesn’t hear about my transgender nibling. And, while “not offending” isn’t a primary objective all the time, I find people listen much better when treated with respect. And I find it easier to do so if I automatically find something to respect in them yeah, sometimes that’s not easy Wendy P.
  7. Sorry; I usually answer, but, well, missed this one. But yes, welcome back, and don't be a stranger. You back in jumping, or never stopped? Wendy
  8. There's something called the Cloud Games, where newbie 4-way teams (with a ringer) compete at their own drop zones, using the video to compare times etc. It's one way -- yes, it means competition, but newbie teams are pretty laid back. Wendy P.
  9. But he passed farms; he's smart enough to understand farming from that, right? Wendy P.
  10. Energy transition will never be total and complete. I guess that means a win for you, and the people who still use kerosene lamps, too Wendy P.
  11. Yeah, the fact that there are only roughly 50 when 35 years ago there were 350 is irrelevant. And if I gain enough weight to be obese, but not super-obese, that means I'm not fat, right? Wendy P.
  12. OK, idle curiosity -- what happened in Fort Bend County? Wendy P.
  13. Someone else being wrong doesn't actually make you right. Kind of like how pushing someone else down doesn't actually make you taller or stronger, or calling someone else stupid doesn't make you smarter. Wendy P.
  14. I was told that a picture of a 12-way made Skydiving, but no one has ever actually seen it in there. Taken from above, so not much but ass cheeks, backpacks, and one dangling dick are visible Wendy P.
