We lost an absolutely incredible guy today. It's never easy but it's so shocking when it's someone like this. In this picture he fell victim to my famous Black Russians. I assumed he was passing the drink around when the first one I poured him was gone so fast. When I saw him with an empty glass the second time, and I hadn't seem him sharing I said "Ahmed! It's a sipping drink! He just giggled away and said "I don't sip!" The photo was taken on my cell so you can't really see how red he was but he had all of us in stitches with his giggling! This is just too sad

Wow...... ....... ....another beautiful one leaves us.... .......in a beautiful way...... ..............really...... BSBD

I'm thinking of going to the Empuriabrava boogie for Christmas. Since I'm going it alone, only speak English and have never been to Europe, I would love some traveling tips. Their website gives lots of directions but seeing it written down and doing it are two different things. Girona, Perrignan and Barcelona are the three closest airports but I can’t tell by reading their website which one I should look into flying to. Price is usually a factor but if it’s 10% more money to save 30% more hassle – well I’d rather pay the money so that’s the kind of stuff I need to find out. Any North Americans out there with recent first hand experience who can help? Thanks Rhonda

I'm sure if Guy and his recruiting team lowered their standards they could've been doing 200-way attempts. Like most experienced big-way jumpers, I would way rather be on a successful sub-200 sequential and have fun doing it than be on a frustrating 200-way gong show. And I'm sure as these organizers continue to prove their track record of inviting only top quality big-way jumpers there will be a snowball effect and the jumps will grow in size much faster in the long run. I know longevity isn't a concept many skydivers are familiar with though so I understand why you might be frustrated....

Great conversations have been had over that very shirt

Since I drive a diesel pick-up, I am the most qualified one in our company to go truck shopping.....in the same way one is qualified to edit a fashion magazine after sewing a button on a shirt. Hope someone can steer me in the right direction. Here's what we're looking for: Dock height Carry 8-10 skids (40x48x60) each skid 1600lbs (12,000 - 16,000 gross total) short haul going between 2 locations in town only Am I likely to find something that can handle that load but not need more than a regular license to drive it? Any little tidbits of info would help

My brother and I have have a company which sells a product geared largely to kids and we're paying $100,000 for a gaming company to do up a video game/website for us as a marketing tool. The characters and story line they've come up with are pathetic & I was very vocal (to my brother) in my disapproval. So, long story short: I have until Monday to come up with something better than the 5 "experts" did or he's going to go ahead with it. I've got an idea for the story but I'm a total blank for characters that would work for it. I've been doing the Google thing, hoping to get some ideas but I'm having a hell of a time finding me way around! I'm looking for animated images of characters that don't look like anything real.... How do you type that one in to Google?! If you have no idea what I mean check out these guys: Chia Jub Jub Kiko at http://www.neopets.com/addpet.phtml?view=all Please! Somebody help! Rhonda

Weird in the city To wear my snowmobile suit But I stargaze warm

Oh, that was good!

Lawyer? His fucking lawyer Holy shit! When I think of all the stupid stuff I've done that could've turned out bad if everything that isn't ever likely to go wrong does go wrong....... Well....I better smarten the fuck up quick or I'm going to be spending a fortune on lawyers! It must really work though, this lawsuit business. I mean, what could be better to kill that spur-of-the-moment-adrenaline-filled-urge to do something crazy that you thought would be fun for everyone, than having the word "Lawsuit" pop into your head? Then, when you get time later you can contemplate all possible consequences of such an action - get some other feedback, even (for those rare times when it's not obvious what stupid-head idea you had) and should everyone agree it's perfectly (and I mean perfectly) safe, you can always seize the moment the next time!

No, you're right. You can't help it if some jump the gun. But it was sweet of you to try!

Not every time!

I was kinda thinking the same thing. As I kid it never occured to me but now that I'm mature, I'd prefer to climb over ...not that I ever did the lock-the-door-and-crawl-out prank....or plan to...

Does anyone know the technique for climbing over a toilet stall divider with grace? Saw someone do it recently. Very impressive. Thought it might be a good skill to have.....

I've gotta ask why you think she'd like the bear. How many women out there over the age of 16 like getting stuffed animals? How many men out there have bought or would buy a stuffed animal for someone they like/love/want to impress?

Whoa..... I'm speechless. Can you expand on why huge (in your world) expanses of uncultivated land is of such irrelevance to the impact of the exponentially growing human population that you think we are over reacting (for lack of a better way to describe your post) - in a little more tangible terms please? Must excuse....can't tell if the booze magnifies the the lack of depth of the previous post or magnifies the befuddledness (is that a word?) of mine. I'm no tree hugger but I do get the concept of restraint..... Except at Dairy Queen.... Sigh

Yay! And because we're starting over, no one will notice anything.... Current 168 Goal 159 What the hell, I've gone this far.....I broke the elusive 170. Let's see if I can break 160

No time to read thread but there is a song by a Canadian band called "She Stole My Beer" On their album Mule there is a song called "Spittin Down On The Sun" Rips me apart every time yet somehow beautiful. One line will give you an idea but the whole song is filled with beautiful bits like this: Are you up there in the sky makin angels laugh Spittin on the sun Just a little choked up that you can only fly kind of wishing you could run Can't even think about this song without stirring up huge emotion. Like now......

When I crawled home Friday morning after working 22 hours straight (and over 100 hrs since last Friday) I fell in to bed and slept for just over 24 hrs so I missed the check in. When I weighed this afternoon I was at 166. That could just be because I went 24 hours without food though. I expect things to be normal at work now so I'm going to get back to my exercise routine and see if I can make that a solid number. I can't help but be pleased that - solid or not - I'm still moving in the right direction! As for keeping this going, I see your point. I was hoping more people would join as time went on but it hasn't worked out that way. Let's give it another week or two and see what happens.

Thanks people! It's not easy to make this old gal feel young again but all of a sudden I could swear I'm right back in grade six! I can practically hear the Bay City Rollers right now! S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT! S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT! Dancin with my baby to the rock n roll Saturday night! Saturday night La la la la la la la la la la la, Saturday night! Saturday night! Iyiyiyiyi just can't wait! Iyiyiyiyi have a date! Oh it's good old rock n roll! oh....... I know.....I can't sing worth shit.

I didn't post for the last couple of weeks as I went to Eloy for an Airspeed skills camp then to Perris for their tunnel camp. When I got back on Wednesday I was up 5 lbs but I think that was just a spike after eating so many chips and cookies at the tunnel. Damn it's hard not to eat that stuff when it's in front of you for three days straight! Anyway, this morning I was down again to 168 which I think may still be a lb higher than last check-in but it beats 5 lbs higher! Only problem now is that I'm back to working 14 hour days to catch up on everything so I haven't been exercising again....sigh. Still feel good to hang out below 170 for this long though.

Aren't you supposed to climb the beacon naked? (Or perhaps I should say "weren't" It appears the beacon has moved.) Different beacon perhaps? Actually, considering the angle of the shot, I guess the clothing is a good thing.

Not much.... Too many skeletons....no room

Both of these were taken at sunrise at the end of a great night. For you to really appreciate the true perfection of the Sunrise SK shot I should mention that everything really was all blurry that morning.....

Well it's 4:39 am & I've decided it's safer not to talk much but but feel like posting something. I only have a few pic's on this computer so I'll so I'll qualify my choices by saying they are the best available at this time. I apologize in advance if I've just killed this thread....
