    Size Does Matter

    Despite what English, History, and Theater Arts majors think, the moon's orbit about the earth is not a perfect circle, but rather an ellipse. Yes, yes, elliptical like a Stiletto, now, pay attention. This Wednesday the moon will be at its perigee, the point where it will be closer to the earth than any other this year. That same night, 27 February, is a full moon. That means, right after sunset the moon should be low on the horizon and HUGE!! As it climbs the sky, it will appear to diminish in size. If you want to see an incredible sight, catch it at sunset. If you miss seeing the one this Wednesday, the next closest to the earth full moon will be on Thursday, 28 March. The difference in the distance from the earth to the moon for these two events will be approximately 75 miles. 75 miles over 220,000 miles is nothing, so that should also be a good show. The apogee full moon will be in October. The difference for us is the moon will appear 14% bigger on Wednesday and reflected light will appear 40% brighter than the apogee full moon. Night jumps anyone? Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi
  2. Go for the preemptive strike on the hangover: 800 mg of Motrin washed down by as much Gatorade as you can drink. Of course, with no frame of reference, you'll probably not think it's helping. Trust us, though. We know. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi
  3. Dave, you've been very lucky and (I'm guessing here) not been to a lot of large DZ's when they were busy. Unless the DZ has specfically designated someone to watch each load, this same thing will probably happen again. Even at small DZ's that get busy, I've seen it happen. It's not intentional or planned. People in general want to do the best they can. Sometimes they get OBE (overcome by events) and certain tasks don't happen. We are all human, even if some of our dates aren't. I think the DZO's should set a policy that whoever LO's is also responsible to account for everyone or make every jumper or group accountable to him/her. If you have an 8-way, have the lead jumper report to the LO. Solo Jumpers, each one, to the LO. The jump shouldn't be over till everyone is back in the packing area pointing fingers. I know, I know, and there should be world peace, and no world hunger, and everyone should have access to digital cable. Probably not going to happen, but I'm a dreamer.

    Finally!

    You got game, girl, but I can't get in to see it. Data xfer stuff. But I'm sure it's nice. So, where did you buy your stuff? I really crack me up sometimes. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi

  6. Got to agree with you Marc, it definitely runs hot and cold. Went there one time and got on a 40-way just by asking. Another time, was manifested when some guy started dirt diving. When I asked to get in on it, he said, "We already have 13." Found out later the base never even got formed. Karma Justice. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi

  9. What kind of beer you got? And do you have any of those little cheesy things that get your curtains all orange when you wipe you hands on them? I really like those. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi

  11. 1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL. 2. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING. 3. The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL. 4. The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL. 5. The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS. 6. The sport of choice for corporate officers is GOLF. CONCLUSION: The higher you are in the corporate structure, the smaller your balls become. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi

    My sob story

    If it makes you feel better, I had my car towed in NYC once. It was $175 and I had to pick it up in Brooklyn. Then, and this is classic, before I could take it, I had to pay the parking ticket, another $60. I love New York! Look on the bright side; without money to buy demon rum, you are going to look so hot lying on the beach in Arizona. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi
  13. I know why girls get tattoos on their backs (so guys will have something to look at during sex), but why do guys get tattoos there? Note to Newbies: If you're not sure, it's probably sarcasm. Just keep walking. If you don't touch it, it won't hurt you or try to follow you home. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi
  14. Dear Help Desk, Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting modules, limiting access to flower and jewelry applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9 but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0 and NBA 3.0. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and HouseCleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. Please help! --Desperate Dear Desperate, Please keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/I-THOUGHT-YOU-LOVED-ME and then install Tears 6.2. Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications: Guilty 3.0 and Flowers 7.0. But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to GrumpySilence 2.5, HappyHour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a virus that will create "Snoring Loudly" WAV sound files. DO NOT install MotherInLaw 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. Consider buying additional software to improve performance. I personally recommend HotFood 3.0 and Lingerie 5.3 --Help Desk Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi

  17. Slowly Zennie sneaks up on the hibernating bear, and pulls out the proverbial ten foot pole. With the moves of a kabuki dancer he lightly pokes the bear. His intent is not to awaken him, but rather, just trying to get him to roll over. Ohh, sorry Zennie. That appeared to be a little too much. Better luck next time.

  20. Geezer Alert!! Geezer Alert!! A royal blue, navy blue, black, and white Paracommander, the original PC. Notice there was a lot of black and blue in there. Loading? Quien sabe. Jumped it out of a four pin B-Something military surplus container. Anyone else remember "Last Hope Ropes" and putting rubber bands around your ripcord so you wouldn't lose it? That killed a few of our brothers. Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi

    Military joke

    Little kid walks in to a restroom and there is an Air Force pilot in there. The pilot asks, "Hey kid, you wanna hold my hat for me?" "Sure!", says the young admirer. While the kid is standing there, a Navy pilot comes in. He sees the kid and says, "Hey kid, wanna go in that stall there and have some real fun?" The kid looks back at the Navy pilot and says, "I'm sorry, I'm not in the Air Force. I'm just holding his hat for him." Just take it one day at a time, like the drunks do. flyhi
