You know, T-shirt Hell has a shirt I've been meaning to get that seems to fit this situation. The shirt reads, "I'm the teenage girl you jerked off in the chatroom with." I'm 215lbs man in his 30s...picture clarity, anyone?

These guys are too easy to fool. When they think with the nether regions, yes. Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

No, I hear ya. The problem is, the more face time these "people" (using the term loosely) get with the national and local press, the more they think they can affect change toward their twisted agendas. People like that don't go away if they know the spotlight will come on. They're like roaches on methamphetamines.

I know that to be true, but some overly-cautious aspect of my nature never wants to offer even the semblance of offense. I'll have our master rigger check it out, but I'll do that once the seller is making a jump. Between good manners and my "better safe than stupid" policy, it's a wonder I'm not a shut-in.

Hmmm, I haven't heard that one, but I DO know that medical professionals are not supposed to pull punches and give false hope. Perhaps her vocabulary was just somewhat limited and she had no better way to express that idea. As for confidentiality, she seems to have neglected that until it was too late. Her statement to you was a CYA statement to make her feel better...or so it seems from MY limited perspective.

Yeah, that's what I had planned on doing, but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it with the guy selling it being right there. What I'm thinking I'll do is sit a lift out while the guy selling it (Kevin W.) goes up. That will give me time to ask Greg to take a look at it without making anyone uncomfortable. I'm just weird that way, I guess. Hey, I thought you should know that Cora LOVES that rig. She's still working on standing up her landings, but she really enjoys having her own equipment. And that canopy looks SO good in the air. We'll be out there a bit late this weekend, since Cora has to work half days at the hospital both Saturday and Sunday. Look for us between 12 and 1pm. Maybe the three of us can get a jump in together. The weekend after that, Bridge Day weekend, John and Kelly will be gone but the DZ will be open. Looks like Buddha and I will probably be running the DZ: me in manifest and him coordinating the rest. Hopefully we'll get to see you then as well.

Hmmm, the 80's were equally unsafe. I had gasoline and tennis balls, a medical condition known as "young and stupid". Also fireworks strategically placed on large Star Wars toys. Oh, and matches. Those too.

I actually bought helmets and altimeters for my girlfriend and I both after about our 5th jumps on AFF. It got to be a bit unnerving thinking about wearing someone else's sweat on my head. Hmmm, wondering if I should revise that last sentence a bit...

It's a good thing I'm here at work by myself, as I just cackled out loud at THAT one! Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

I demo'd a friend's rig this past weekend, a Hornet 190, and became immediately enamored of this rig. My only concern is that the container (can't, for the life of me, remember what kind of container it is), was manufactured in '89. As I was packing it for the last time that day, thinking I would probably try to save my pennies and get this rig, another jumper mentioned that I needed to replace my rig. He said that you should never buy a container that is over five years old as they deteriorate rapidly. Any thoughts on this? It looked okay, except for a few spots where it had been resewn. I'll see it again this weekend. Anything else I should be looking for?

Joe was at our DZ this past week (The Skydiving Place, Parkton, NC), and stayed until Sunday, I believe. REALLY nice guy with an unassuming manner. Easy to get along with, and just an all-around nice guy. He told me where he was headed next, but I've slept since then and can't remember.

Dude, "Stretch Armstrong". You could pull that bastard for MILEs, but try punching him and you'd break your hand. He was cool until invasive procedures revealed his innards had turned to goo.

LOL! Kevin! Not to worry, I wouldn't put anything nude on here... It's safe! Hi Cora! Actually, I was just trying to get someone's attention on here. I haven't made enough of a name for myself to have people who don't know me reply to me. I'm still not looking at your bum.

It's interesting, I've heard reasonably sane people say the same thing about military guys. Meaning, don't be so quick to judge.

Dude, I JUMP with you! There's no way in HELL I'm looking at THAT! Oh, and I need to make sure Cora stays well away too. Note to self: never let pics of me in ANY condition get posted here.
