  1. Good luck.. > Adrian S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  2. Respect!!!! Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  3. but instead of making blanket statements, I usually point out items that I think are illogical. *** I can respect that. I will digress however as I think that we have hijacked the thread for long enough. blue ones! Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  4. fair enough.. I see your point. I more replied to the previous point to play devils advocate. no pun intended. I hope that you saw mine too. I was raised in a christian religious family and though I am not practicing I have respect for some religions. I don't take it personally when people call my parents insecure (among other things), as everyone is entitled to an opinion. I just wanted to illustrate that it is possible for those who like to talk down religion as a whole to be just as "weak-minded","insecure" etc as the people they are talking about.

  5. talking down religion = false sense of security for insecure people. its simple. people like to know why we exist, who created us, how we should live life, and what will happen after death. talking down religion gives them comfort so they don't feel scared about their lifes and can pass judgment on those who have found a way to deal with the fact that the answers to these questions aren't availible by any conventional means. this is a pretty broad generalization of course.

  6. YES!!! Congrats buddy! Does that mean we will see you at the DZ more this summer? Maybe we'll score some new gear after all. That american Xchange rate is looking mighty tasty. PM me with the details Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

  8. I am in Winnipeg, Manitoba. That is in Canada for any who aren't familiar. They ran a Preview here yesterday for the general public which was a word of mouth preview which usually doesn't bode well for a movie. I had a slightly more private viewing though. The sound was good even though we weren't in the THX theatre. I was impressed. IF you want really good sound the Master and Commander has my vote. regards, Adrian S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  9. ...and what is wrong exactly with being short... S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  10. Agreed! S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  11. ..Wayyy better than I was expecting. A little long but that seems to be the trend these days. I think that I want to own that one on DVD. and I don't say that very often. Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  12. Went up on a load once and while climbing to altitude the wind picked up unbeknownst to us. Opened up on the wrong side of the wind over the intende landing area. No major panic, I look around the sky and see that my other 3 jumpers are in similar situations at the other cardinal points. keep pointing into wind get blown back over the hangars, over the road.. and finally over the golf course (where I decided I would land once realizing that I wasn't getting any penetration), where I landed. The Golf course was deserted as this was to be the last load of the day so there wasn't much daylight left. suddenly a man and his wife appear from the bush on the one side. The man is carrying a beer. He walks up to me and says "when I used to go ballooning, whereever we landed we would crack a bottle of champagne.. I couldn't find any champagne at home so this will have to do" as he uncapped it and handed it to me. What good neighbours we have.. lol S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

  14. I am not american but Canadian and I haven't met any others in the flesh either. But here are my ratings(CSPA): B-5001 Coach 1 Instructor A Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  15. yes it is based on a large series of books. Check out your local bookstore I am sure they will have them all collected and displayed now that the movie is out. I also saw it and was very impressed with it. Highly recommended. FWIW here is a link to a list of some othere o'brian books http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/default.asp?Ntt=Patrick+O%27Brian&N=35&Nty=1&D=Patrick+O%27Brian&Di=50&Ntk=SearchBooks&Section=books&Lang=en&mscssid=NU36K52608NU8HEFMKM99M8X6JK59JM6&WSID=011197DFD40FE5C149EEA3F1AB37734868DE4824 age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.

  17. not for a second... lol S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  18. do any of you south of the border know what good beer is? Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  19. I have been running at 1600x1200 as soon as I got my 19" and a card that could handle it... AGge S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  20. Not sure if this is the correct place to be asking or reporting this but: ever since I updated my "real" email address I get all forum notifications at that address instead of at my dz.com address as before. Ihave searched but I don't see a setting for where I want those emails to go. Is this a bug, an oversight or how it is intended to be from now on. thanks age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  21. I stand corrected... I didn't realize that they would do that. being part of such a "small community" has its advantages. Age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  22. oh and by the way... .. I am not from texas.... ...I am a black canadian... ...just didn't agree with you... age S.E.X. party #2 ..It is far worse to live with fear, than to die confronting it.
  23. well I may not know the last thing that was dragged behind a truck in Texas... ..But I have a pretty good idea of what the next thing may be. Do yourself a favour. Don't go there again. And if you do. Definitely don't identify yourself to any of the dz.commers. I don't think that this will be forgotten about for a long long time. But if you insist bring lots of beer. Cause you are gonna owe it: For being the first dz.commer to be dragged behind a truck in texas at a skydiving boogie? you made your bed.. hope its comfy. have a nice life.

  24. right but since the container manufacturer and the jumpsuit manufacturer and the canopy manufacturer don't necessarily use the same matierials, or when they do there is no guarantee that any of it is from the same die lot I don't really see how this is relevent.
