  1. I agree, but at least they won't lose money on the house itself post payset purchase. And knowing KJ and Megan, they probably want it, not the kids. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  2. When I was 3-4 years old, there were a couple of high school kids that lived next door. I picked all my mother's spider lilies out of the garden and took it to them. Everytime they would be playing in the front yard and I would be out there with my mom, they would come toss me in the air and I would make them perform "10 Chocolate Pies" from Sesame Street and sing "Benny and the Jetts" by Elton John for me. I thought they were the coolest and that I was a part of their gang. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  3. Dude, it's not quite St. Patty's Day, yet, but I'll play along. I am an Irish girl so I will be doing what the Irish do best - drink. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  4. Chris and Matthew are some spoiled chill-rens. I would look at the trends in your area. You can go to the courthouse's records department and look up what the previous owners paid for your house and compare it to what you guys spent. Also, look at other houses in your neighborhood similar to yours to see what they paid, as well, to get an idea of cost per square foot. Then you can establish a trend scale. This is just speculation because you cannot see into the future of housing, but it can at least give you an idea. Plus, since you live in a 4-bedroom house, you can almost expect new owners to have kids - may be not young enough to enjoy the playset, but you never know. Oh - come visit us, bitch. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

    Ahh!! I see it now! Good eyes, guys. My observation skills could use some work. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  7. "Can't see who in the world would accept that however." Yeah, I was imagining him be-bopping into the convenience store asking for change. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

    "whats up with the cutaway handle on one of the hangers?" Note that your cutaway and reserve handles might not be in the same spot when you are in the air verses on the ground/in plane. That's why I practice sliding my hands down to find them rather than going for them in the place I thought they would be. .....................................................................

  11. well, then you are hurting yourself more than he will hurt you. tell the annoying idiot to shut his pie hole. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  12. No, you are no the only kid that remembers that. When you are wearing the earpieces and you turn up the music so loud that you cannot hear at least mumbling when someone speaks to you, then you are an idiot. .....................................................................

  13. Is it considered "hookering" if you accept gifts in lieu of actual cash on the bedside table? If so, yes. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  14. I designed an Erotic Literature class for grad school at Southern Methodist University. Basically, part of my degree was in well-written porn. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

    Sirius Vs. XM

    Sirius' customer service wasn't very friendly when a friend of mine was in the process of ordering it, so he cancelled his order and went with XM. XM seems to come with new cars and it is available on some digital satallite cable TVs. .....................................................................

    I use UV filters for the same reason you stated above. Thank you so much for your quick response to my inquiry; I find it such a great honor to receive advice from one of the most talented photographers in the world. .....................................................................

  18. Your whole post was beautifully-written, but I especially love the part quoted above. Have fun in all your future endeavors.

    Great lenses, gorgeous color contrasting and fantastic framing. What editing/refining software do you use for your photos? Do you use any filters on your lenses? ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  20. I disagree with the quality of paper, but it is a good zine. Skydiving Magazine is a staple-bound tabloid (in terms of look, not content), where Parachutist is a traditional bound magazine. Skydiving Magazine also packs a lot of verbiage into each page where as Parachutist's layout is more pleasing to the eye and easier to find information quickly due to layout, shading and graphics placement. Skydiving Magazine also tends to be more rebellious where as Parachutist sticks firmly to every USPA rule in place. Examples of this include Skydiving Magazine's apt to print pictures of people jumping in clouds and runs extensive articles on BASE jumping. I subscribe to Skydiving Magazine and of couse get Parachutist through my USPA membership and value both pubs for not only entertainment, but for diverse opinions and information. You can subscribe and get additional information by visiting www.skydivingmagazine.com. Edited to say: I looked at my Parachutist and it is not traditionally-bound (or glued book bound), but is stapled like Skydiving Magazine. Parachutist is thicker because of the 8.5x11 sheet size and heavier-weight glossy paper. .....................................................................

  21. It depends on what kind of insurance you are looking for. Health, Liability, Corporate, Life, etc... ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  22. I actually encountered the same thing in Alabama and Louisiana. For the most part, I have found out that if you work for a large corporation and get health insurance through them, you are more than likely covered. Even if you get the life insurance through them, you will probably be covered. If you question this, call your HR rep and have them send you a list of restrictions for both health and life policies. On the other hand, if you are self-employed and are seeking an individual policy, one of the questions (both from Blue Cross Blue Shield and Humana companies) will be if you participate in any aeronautical sport, which they spell out to include piloting a private aircraft, skydiving, hang gliding, paragliding and a few other examples. If you answer "yes," they will more than likely deny you. Some private life insurance policies also exclude aeronautical sport participation and in one case that I came across, denies coverage if you pass away due to a commercial plane accident. I have yet to find a private health insurance policy that will cover my husband or me for a price that we could afford. It's sad. But this is one of the reasons that we owe a quarter of a million dollars in medical bills when William had his accident - we were uninsurable because we were self-employed and couldn't get coverage. Good luck in finding a company. If you do - post it here. I think there are a lot of American jumpers that go uninsured due to the issues you and I have listed, and would love to be covered. .....................................................................

  23. I was purchasing a pair of Crocs shoes and noticed that they sell these cool sunclasses with padding around the eyes and they also convert into goggles. I thought these would be perfect for skydiving, but I have not tried them, yet. I did attach the website just in case anyone was interested: http://www.thecrocsstore.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.21/.f .....................................................................

  24. I went to USPA's site and they talked about the general liability insurance, but not medical. Also, I'm glad Wm and I are getting talked about at the DZ; we miss y'all, too. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  25. I have contacted an insurance agency, but I will also contact the insurance provider you listed above. Thanks! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
