  1. Mark Knopfler - "Going Home" with Dire Straits. Starts at 1:55 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3zIfO-YOzg He was still one of the best.
  2. When I had placed an order for my 2nd jumpsuit I faxed the form over and I took the fax confirmation page as receipt that they got it. I asked on the form to be notified by email to confirm receipt but I wasn't too worried about it since I got the fax confirmation. I never received an email until a few weeks later with a UPS tracking number. So, I am not surprised you havent heard from Tonysuit but I wouldn't be overly concerned. If you are then your best bet would be to call. On a sidenote: I am very happy with the suit (I got an RW suit with every option to slow my fat ass down and it does that very well). Yes, they are expensive and they don't communicate well but I would buy from them again anytime just because the suits are top quality. (edited for spelling)
  3. I sent this link to a friend who was scheduled for a colonoscopy. He said he was watching it before and was laughing so hard he had tears streaming down his face! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBMsPNI6EZE It is pretty darn funny!
  4. Two old ones but they still crack me up
  5. In 1998, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer released the largest ever and best formulated study on ETS. The research project ran for 10 years and in seven European countries. The study, not widely publicized, concluded that no statistically significant risk existed for nonsmokers who either lived or worked with smokers. Please educate yourself before you make claims about the study that distort the truth.
  6. I work at a call center in the US and I have an accent. I can not tell you how many times customers ask me if I am indian and its not even close! So if you think that you can easily recognize an indian accent or if you believe that just because someone has an accent they are not in the US or unable to help you then you need to go out more.
  7. I was wondering if it was a troll but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt - up until now. Pilot license, degrees in finance and NOW he studies medicine with that kind of attitude and disregard for common sense? Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Probably top of the class too! Edited: Yep. Matt got confirmation in the other tread that that guy is a troll. I think the moderators should close this thread now. Entertainment over. :)
  8. I had the privilege of donating bone marrow for an unrelated patient last year on November 1st and 2nd. It just takes a little of your time and it is a wonderful, wonderful feeling! Sort of puts everything else into perspective..... I was one of those people who thought "one day" I will sign up for this (same way I was about Skydiving) but you know what? There is no better day than NOW for "one day"! Most people never get called but you never know. And even if you do not get called you will at least have the reassuring feeling that you did your part to possibly save someone elses life. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
  9. Our DZ had a sign that read "Unattended children will be auctioned off and sold as slaves"
  10. Its a pity the way some *mature* people (must be a sign of maturity to call others young cock-ups ) read something into your post that is not there. Welcome to the wonderful world of Internet forums!
  11. That you have not seen it doesnt mean that its not out there. You dont know me or most of the other people on these forums so saying that she has more heart than anyone else is just an assumption (based on your experience of your course which I do not doubt at all) but still an assumption nevertheless. Realizing that you are NOT made out for something and walking away from it even though you REALLY REALLY want it does take more heart than staying in. There comes a point where determination (which I really do admire) turns into stupidity. Realizing where that point is is a sign of maturity. She was still lucky though, she only hurt herself and no one else. Really? Isnt the safety of your students THE most important part? What if the student is a risk to him-/herself and (possibly) to others? Wouldnt your responsibility as a teacher not be more important than the desire of the student to jump, no matter how enthusiastic he/she is? Please do not take this as me saying that you are unresponsible (I am not in a position to judge this), I am just curious.
