  1. Cool stuff! Where did you get the Dactyl? I'm surprised there's one in Saskatoon. "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  2. I chose the closest answer 50-100. It was more like 28... there should have been a choice for

  4. I agree it amazes me that Skydiving is not an Olympic sport. But the card game of Bridge... now there's a sport http://www.worldbridge.org/IOC/IOC.htm "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  5. For the most part I sing Lead but will sing Tenor as required if there is no one else to do it. Just want to check, you said "great"? baritone. I thought that SPEBSQSA stood for Some People Especially Baritones Should Quit Singing Altogether. Unfortunately I probably won't make WFFC.. it's a long way from Calgary "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  6. Two Irishmen walk into a pet shop. They go directly over to the bird section. Willie says to Paddy, "Dat's dem." The clerk comes over and asks if he can help them. "Yeah, we'll take four of dem dere budgies in dat cage op dere," says Willie. "Just put dem in a peeper bag." The clerk puts the budgies in a bag, and the two guys pay for the birds and leave the shop. They get into Willie's van and drive until they are high up on a hill, and stop at the top of a cliff with a 500-foot drop. "Dis looks loike a grand place, eh?" says Willie. He then takes two birds out of the bag, places them on his shoulders and jumps off the cliff. Paddy watches as his mate drops off the edge and goes straight down for a few seconds, before he hits the rocks below with a 'SPLAT!'. As Paddy looks down he shakes his head and says, "Dis budgie jumpin' is too dangerous for me." A minute later, Seamus arrives. He too has been to the pet shop and he walks up carrying a 'peeper bag'. He pulls a parrot out of the bag, and then Paddy notices that, in his other hand, Seamus is carrying a gun. "Hi, Paddy. Watch dis," Seamus says and launches himself over the edge of the cliff. Paddy watches as half way down, Seamus takes the gun and blows the parrot's head off. Seamus continues to plummet until there is another 'SPLAT!' and his remains join Willie's at the bottom. Paddy shakes his head and says, "An' oim never troyin' dat parrotshooting nider." A few minutes after Seamus has gone splat, Sean strolls up. He too has been to the pet shop, and he walks up carrying the now familiar 'peeper bag'. Instead of a parrot, he pulls a chicken out of the bag, and launches himself off the cliff with the usual result. Once more Paddy shakes his head. "First der was Gerry wit his budgie jumping, den Seamus parrotshooting and now you hen glidin..."

  13. I turned of my ISP's spam control and nothing has changed. Although there have beem several posts to messages I have set up to Watch, I have gotten only 2 notices.

  15. Just because everyone makes me turn off the CD player in my car when they get in does not mean that Barbershop Quartet singing is bad. It just means that I have better taste in music than my friends. I've been singing Barbershop for 20 years and in all those years I've never found it included in any of these polls. Seems weird to me.... "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy

  17. I have a couple of threads in my Watch list and I've noticed that additions to these threads have occured however I've not gotten any notice of additions. It may be me (fat fingers do make mistakes), it may be the spam filter my ISP uses, but I am more than willing to help with testing. Thanks for your help, Ian Harrop "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  18. The Rockies... Followed a four man team out at 12,500 and opened right away to fly my then new, now old, canopy around back in 85 at Claresholm, Alberta. The mountains were breath taking! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  19. The chocolate easter eggs. The little ones about an inch long, wrapped in coloured tin foil. Still like 'em. Like 'em enough that I bought 3 kilos of them, put on bunny ears and handed them out to the office yesterday. Some how people thought this was out of character for the VP Systems. Nope, right in character, boys just gotta have fun! "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
  20. For those that don't know Bill, here's some more reading. I found this article, but I am not sure who the author is. Bill, perhaps you can fill in the blanks. http://hometown.aol.com/__121b_IUmurcrau9eCNBjt4pnKPhSQ02BfYDkVCb+DuQMTjrJVYHKwldThRA== Thanks Bill, for everything.

  22. I like the number of jumps and the License info and will like the years in sport when it comes. I would like to suggest that after the license you include the member organization. In my profile I have fudged this so it shows CSPA in brackets. The brackets are probably unnecessary. NOTE: This was not my original idea... I saw it on someone else's profile (a greenie... Remster) and liked it enough to do the same thing. Cheers, Ian "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy
