You reckon? Pretty suspicious bunch if you ask me. Ernest Borgnine?! Harpo Marx!? Now I'm convinced. Obviously plotting world domination.

All the Freemasons I've met have been really good people. Homestead, Amity, McCandless Lodge 582.

Holy crap. I'd think that even a BB gun could be considered a lethal weapon if pointed at a baby. That's messed up. Try pepper spraying the little bastards.

Thanks guys, I guess I just needed someone else to tell me that. Nobody I hang around with on a regular basis has ever jumped, so their advice usually consists of that perplexed look. I like the just hang out idea. Time to get a cooler full of adult beverages and just enjoy the scenery and company again. You guys are the best.

It's been so long since I've gone skydiving, every time I even think about it, all I can see is myself getting hurt or worse. I suppose it doesn't help that much that my family has had quite a few deaths recently, natural causes, illness, etc. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I'm worried that I'll never get the nerve to take the plunge again. I still have all my stuff, what little of it there was. Helmet, alti, good gloves, log book. I really miss my friends who probably don't even remember what I look like anymore. I still wear my closing pin necklace every so often, and I still want to call myself a skydiver, I just can't get over the fear.

I can live with that.

Tomorrow I have to repeat my level 6 dive (6 out of 15 levels) cause it's been two months since my last jump. Am I nervous? Oh yeah, big time! Am I excited? I'll let you know after I wipe this grin off my oogly face I had a lot of fun doing 180 and 360 degree turns, so repeating this level, while not financially as good as going on to barrel rolls and whatnot, will be fun all the same. Any chance to hurl my fragile body out of a plane is a good time, so no worries about repeating!

I just got off the phone with Canton Air Sports, I'm hoping to get a few jumps in there tomorrow. Is SGC closer to armPittsburgh than Canton? Edit to add: Mailing list?

I feel your pain, my last jump was in October. I've been reading the hell outa the SIM, I'm waiting for my copy of Fly Like A Pro to arrive, and have been drinking many fine adult beverages. Winter can suck it!

That had to be one of the creepiest things I've ever seen in my life. Funny thing is, the only thing I was thinking was " those little toddler bastards better not be able to stick their landings".

I can't stand this time of year, too many bad memories, I'm getting piss drunk and taking my phone off the hook.

#5301 (312/556) LITTLETON, Colo. - Colorado officials plan to try a 15-year-old boy as an adult for allegedly offering a Sony PlayStation to have his aunt killed. is it modded? -+ Too farking funny!

If you hit them at just the right speed and angle, they explode. Deer, they can do some serious damage to a normal vehicle, I try to avoid them, but to cause an accident for a freaking cat?

No way, man. That's Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls!

I had pan seared rib eye for dinner and thought nothing of it. the usda website has the story as well, apparently it's very hard to get BSE from muscle (steak) tissue. http://www.usda.gov/news/releases/2003/12/0433.htm

That's a completely awesome thing to do and I salute you for it. I was looking at the website, doing the try a hairstyle thing and came up with this pic

Shave it, just think of the money you can save not having to buy shampoo anymore!

Basic training, I was in a room filled with tear gas~that sucked. Now I volunteer to be the guinea pig for the local P.D.(no disrespect intended, cavy lovers, for I am on of you), my roomie is a cop, so I've been oc'd, hit by the police dog, and next up is getting hit with a Taser. I must be three different kinds of crazy. I told the training officer that for the taser, I'm gonna do my best to make it realistic, ie, I'm going to try and get my hands on the cop with the taser, maybe have some NWA playing in the background (F*** da Police)

I, for one, would like to welcome our new Penguin Overlords

Nope! I work in a hospital, so if the Brown Bomber strikes, I can always blame it on one of the patients

My best advice would be to talk to your doc and get a referral to an orthopedic doctor, some people do suffer from recurrent shoulder dislocations, and there is a possibility of suffering nerve damage from a dislocation. A good orthopod might be able to help with some exercises to strengthen the supporting structures around your shoulder to minimize the risk of this happening again. (IMHO, of course

I agree, statistics aren't cumulative.

Mine points to the right, but that's because that's how I put the clasp on, springy thing in left hand. BTW, that's my oogly face, so the pic may not be SFW, or for anyone eating, or prone to night terrors
