Maybe she doesn't want to be tagged

That's pretty lame.

I read that she will finish her sentence at home sue to 'medical reasons'. Lucky her.

Sounds like you're just jealous that she's not having your baby.

ppsst... I'm female.

Actually, I re-read what you wrote and I think I mis-understood your comment. I thought the 'award' you mentioned (that she didn't try for) was winning the 4-way gold titles.

If you meant the Skydiver of the Year award... Yea, I doubt that was her main goal.

Quote

I'd wager it doesn't matter much to her that she received the award anyway. It's very unlikely she won the award by trying for it.

Ummm... right . There's a lot more to it that you apparently know nothing about.

No, but achievement and skill _are_ a big part of what this sport is about. Money alone should not qualify someone for something, but at the same time, having a lot of money should not disqualify someone from being honored in this way.

Yes, but the article did say that the reason she was chosen for Skydiver of the Year (as opposed to another member of the four way team) is because she was an "irreplaceable" member of the team since she funded everything.

I don't agree with this reasoning.

Well, that's one of the things that makes skydiving different than the ourside world. It's smaller. I know Bonnie of gravity gear better than Max, but if she went through a rough patch I'd wait and still do business with her. Max is a standup guy. I'll always only buy wides from him.

I suppose I might feel that way too if I knew him. But I don't know him at all. I think it's reasonable to be wary of someone (who I don't know from Adam) after reading a thread like this about his business on the internet. I'm sure other people who have read this, who don't know this man at all, feel the same way.

He explained his position/situation to me, and I found it to be reasonable enough

What was his reason? Unless I hear a good one, I won't ever order anything from him.

I know (and have jumped with) four African American skydivers. All four of them are white.

Try PMing him. His username is genfreefly and his last logon appears to be this past Saturday the 20th.

Perhaps you guys should try PMing him. His user name is genfreefly and his last logon was this past Saturday the 20th. Maybe he's even been reading this thread.

That's like something my little 6 year old nephew would have thought was funny.

Every office I've ever worked in has at least one jackass who always clips his fingernails at work. Then leaves pieces of fingernail laying all over the place. Why can't you do that at home?! This is a place of business.

I cringe whenever I hear that noise.

Shannon sure is lucky to have found you (and you her). Deep spiritual connections like this aren't broken after physical death. It's hearing stories like these that alters my spiritual beliefs as well.

Hugs...

Has anybody realized the possibility that Shayna has not logged back on here since that post because she meant it as a one time thing?

Everybody else who have directed their comments at her may have been wasting their time...

Oh please.. you know she's been watching this thread . Her profile says she last logged on just a few hours ago.

Quit making a mess all the time! If she didn't have to keep cleaning up after someone... maybe she'd be less cranky!

Correct spelling makes a big difference in how people perceive your intelligence and credibility. Correct grammar does too.

I worked for a property management company. the only time we EVER reported credit was if it was BAD credit. If someone paid on time, they never got reported as a good payer, and therefore didn't build credit.

I never said it would build any kind of credit. I was addressing how to get a mortgage without credit. Being reported as a good payer will do that.

Everyone says don't get a credit card, but what about when I need a new (to me) car someday

pay for the car

and a house, or just a new apartment...

You can show that you have made full, no late payments at your prior residence for at least two years (maybe it's four years.. I can't recall) in addition to proof of income, etc. and there is no reason you can't get approved for a morgage based on that.

I hear some employers are even doing credit checks before hiring people..

They may not hire if they see bad credit... but I've never heard of anyone not getting hired because they didn't have a credit card.
