  1. Anybody have a picture? The name sounds familiar, but having a hard time putting a face to it... :( Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  2. Don't make me call you with my helium voice again! Just making a brief appearance while I had some time to kill. Looks like there's still SOME familiar faces on here! Hmmm, lemme head over to the 'Ladies' forum and see who I can piss off! J ps- I know ya miss me on here! Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  3. So now that he can see, does he still want to stay married to you? Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  4. I'm in. I thought the boogie was organized really well last year, PR is absolutely beautiful, and the parties were great! Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  5. Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  6. Now THIS could get interesting! Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  7. Best advice I've seen in this thread. I second Dan's comments - all of them. J Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  8. Jeez.... all those years of expensive therapy down the drain. Thanks John.... At least the sheep think my penis is big. J Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  9. Yes Jared, jokes are always funnier the second time around! Especially when they're told louder! J Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  10. Good..........I guess that not only makes your father but your mother as well! Awww, now Chad, you know I think you're sexier than a sheep walking backwards! Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!

  12. I wouldn't worry so much about the lumps, but the daily puking isn't good. It honestly sounds like some kind of mild poisoning to me. Have you used ANY kind of pesticide in the house lately? Even the plastic traps for ants, roaches, etc. can make them sick. No, they don't need to lick or eat the traps... ants walking through ant traps, then across the food dish will make pets sick. Give the floors where he eats a good cleaning, as well as any favorite hang out spots like window ledges. If that doesn't work, just end his suffering. Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound?

  13. That's the combination I use for tandems, and works really well, since I like getting in close and interacting the the tandem pair. Good for freeflying too, but as far as everything else (canopy, rw, swooping, etc.), that's just too wide, IMHO. Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  14. Hey Dee, Guess I'm a little late here (haven't been on in a while), but hope you heal fast, and don't feel you need to continue to beat yourself up for the next couple months. Negativity won't get you far. Looking forward to competing with you next year! Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  15. Yeah, I know... Life has been a whirlwwind the past few months. Got a promotion at work, been trying to finish up the Cobra and get the Camaro ready for the Turkey Rod Run, and managed to keep a girlfriend for almost four months (we broke up a couple weeks ago ). Anyway, dz.commers are the most opinionated people I know, so I figured this would be a great place to get peoples thoughts on the iPhone. I'll call you later... on (hopefully) my iPhone!
  16. Ok, since Apple is dropping the prices on their iPhones, and my current cell (Razr) has pretty much had it, I think it's time to pick up an iPhone. Here's my question. They have the 8gig version, and a smaller version (4gig?). I already have an ipod for putting all my music on, so what would I use all the extra space for? How much of the 4gig is used by the operating system? At most, I plan on throwing a few dozen pictures on there, and maybe 50 - 100 songs. I really just want it for the email, Internet, and visual voicemail. I know the smaller one is being discontinued, but figured I could save a couple hundred bucks since I don't think I need all the space. Thanks for the help! Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound?

  17. Skydive Palatka allows 90 or 180 turns on regular turbine loads. Swoopers can get out low, or pull at altitude if they want to do bigger turns. If there's enough swooping going on, they'll break out the 182 or 206 to fly dedicated 'swoop loads'. Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  18. Yeah, unfortunately I was involved in a similar incident. I was swooping some buffalo chicken strips at Hooters last night, and it turns out my other buddy was trying to swoop them as well. We ended up in the same space at the same time. It resulted in disaster... the chicken strips entangled and went flying out of control; both impacted the ground. We both sustained bruised egos. The Hooters girl responded with a knee jerk reaction. She suspended all drinking, and banned our flip cup competition.... Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  19. This is an excellent point, that I took for granted that people knew. There's a HUGE difference between Advanced Life Support (EMT-P aka Paramedic) and Basic Life Support (EMT-B). People see an ambulance and automatically assume the medics know more than First Aid and CPR. Ignorance is bliss.... Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  20. An ambulance would certainly be a great idea, please don't put words in my mouth. I previously worked as a Paramedic in New York City - I'm fully aware of EMS's value. Better yet, we're at an airport, after all, so let's have life flight come in for the day. Now THERE'S a great idea! Until the bill comes, that is.... emergency medical care is expensive folks. If there's no accident, there's no insurance to pay for it. Who's going to pay for the paramedics time? Who's going to pay for operating costs of the ambulance, such as gas? Ever notice that the air conditioning is running in the back of ambulances (there's good reason for it, btw)? Well, that AC isn't running all day on solar power... Unfortunately, many skydivers do not have medical insurance. How anxious do you think emergency providers are going to be to volunteer time, knowing that if something does happen, they'll be eating most, if not all of the costs involved? Each paramedic call costs over $300, not including medical supplies (ya think ET tubes and IV sets are cheap? Think again...) Yes, there are good samaritans out there that will volunteer their time. My hat's off to them. I think volunteering their services should be appreciated, but not expected. DZO's and boogie organizers are barely able to break even, let alone turn a profit. Fuel prices aren't making it easier. Rising medical costs are one of the biggest national issues today. That in mind, you expect free medical coverage at an event 20 people in size? You expect 20 people to share the cost of it? You are calling me unrealistic??? yeah... ok..... Not directed at you specifically, but I see all these people that think they have all the answers to the logistics of a swoop comp. Ironically, most of these people have never even been to a comp, the most outspoken aren't even swoopers. Most of the competitors in the CPC have close to, or more than 1000 swoops under their belt. I'm one of the newest to competition with ~800 swoops. I would imagine that in a canopy class, people learning to swoop are more prone to major error than someone who's done it 1000 times. Now, before you put words in my mouth again, I'm not saying it cannot happen, just less likely with experience. Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  21. Yes, they (and you) are completely out of line by saying that. If someone dies base jumping, is it appropriate to say, "That's what he gets for taking the risk" in front of friends, right after the accident? If someone dies of lung cancer, would you walk by mourning friends in the hospital saying, "that's what he gets for smoking"? Or maybe this will hit a little close to home: a wuffo walks by you after one of your friends goes in and says, "that's what he gets for taking the extra risk of skydiving". Dale was a fellow competitor and a friend to many. Posting, "Sorry he died but he if take the extra risks by swooping... " for friends, family, and media to read, simply lacks class.... What do you mean by, "when the swooping is out of control"? That's just ignorant. Competitors exit the plane in a predetermined order, over multiple passes. All swoop one at a time, with sufficient spacing between jumpers, through an established course. How in the world can you say this swooping is 'out of control'? Granted, it may not be a bad idea to have an ambulance on standby. It would actually be nice to always have an ambulance on hand at every DZ, given the amount of 'beerline swooping' in far less controlled environments, by less skilled canopy pilots.

  22. Damn Dale, sorry I only got to compete with ya once this year. You were a likable guy, and you'll be missed. Blue ones bro... Jeff Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  23. Dude, when I said "blue ones" I meant blue skies! That sux! Poor Jeff I should have worded it 'didn't get to finish'. I'm sure everyone figured it out! Sooo... here I am, getting sympathy from the married chick! WTF!?! See what I mean? God hates me.... he could have a hot single chick feel sorry for me, and want to come over for a sympathy bj or something, but no... I get the friggin married chick! Jeff ps- hope you're doin' great, BTW! Long time no see! Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  24. Went about 3 months without gettin' any, then hooked up with this chick, and she got hers (a couple times), then said she needed to rest a minute. She fell asleep and was cranky when I woke her back up to finish, so I didn't get any. That was about a month ago. God hates me. I'm so busy, I don't have time for a real relationship right now... maybe I can find some stripper to hook up with, and then pay her to go away in the morning. J Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
  25. Dude... you're losin' your touch! I'm trying hard here myself... I think I might have to step it up a notch. Maybe if I get banned, I'll actually get some work done today! Shhh... you hear that sound? That's the sound of nobody caring!
