if vice president cheney and his wife wouldn't have went on national television and announced the fact that their daughter was gay to the entire free world, i would've had no idea his daughter was gay/lesbian or what ever the proper termonology is. point being, they have no one to blame but themselves for the exploitation of their daughter's "good name" imho i don't care about anyone's sexual preference, race, color, creed etc...i don't base my opinion of judgement on things of that nature. so those that do are being "NARROW MINDED" the only reason the cheney's made the announcement was to keep the Kerry camp from "running with it" there are a lot of issues on the table this upcoming election, same sex marraiges, abortion, stem cell research etc...each candidate has their own views on each. personally, i'm in favor of all of the aforementioned, after all we are all about "being free" right? in either event, i say we take John Kerry out behind the hanger and kick the shit out of him!

looks like a line over to me, but i can't see if it is or not. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

my BAD? i guess we should all be on the lookout. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

that's not news. that's old news. it vanished long before we invaded. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

personally, my plan is to deal with either like their happening at 300 mph! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Nemechek put Tony Stewart in the wall today with 1 1/2 lap to go. dirty pool. let Tony accidently wreck someone and all hell breaks loose. Dale Jr. says "SHIT" in the winners circle last week, gets docked 25 championship points (He was the leader in the race for the chase) and a $25,000.00 fine. What's with thie Nemechek Fella? He's got pole position tomorrow in the Nextel Cup race, ya'll think Dale Jr and Tony got something for him? I bet he has a "DNF" day. If Nemechek would not have put Stewart in the wall, it would have been Tony's first ever Busch win. Next time maybe? Go Here To See Story -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

don't sweat the small stuff. they can kill us, but they can't eat us, and we'll get a lot more of them before they get a whole lot of us. don't worry, be happy! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

i didn't get to witness your first cut-away, but i did see the second one. heck, i couldn't even tell it was you at the time, it happened pretty fast. i still remember chasing that canopy and free bag to the ground. i'm glad my one and only canopy swap is over. hope to never have another....RIGHT! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

can the rapide link, or use some lock tite. if you don't want to do that, use a slink. rapide links are famous for coming undone. i once saw a sky diver land his parachute only to find that the rapide link on his starboard side riser was completely unscrewed and bent open so far that we couldn't mate it back up. he immediately switched to PD soft links. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

jump # 374. line twists, unrecoverable. i was glad to finally get it behind me, until then it just constantly dogged me. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

i'm watching the race right now! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

save the pics as bitmaps to uour desktop, etc..., then convert them to a .jpeg format after you've saved them. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

glad to hear your doing well AD. and remember, behind every good man, there's a great woman! you did get lucky with Morgan, but then again, she didn't do so bad either. Heal well. Take care. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

it's not useless. send it in for repairs and have it recertified by the oem. you have a good container, it just needs some tlc. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

i've watched your progress from beginning to where you are now. good on you! keep up the good work, and congrats!! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

send the rig to the oem and have them make what ever adjustments you want made and after they're finished it'll be TSO'd. it would be helpful if you would fill in your profile so responders could better help with your question(s) by knowing what kind of container, dom...etc. hopefully you are aware that master riggers must be certified and can be sanctioned if in fact actions as you describe actually occured. not doubting your word, but there are always two sides to every story. good luck. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

AggieDave: Good luck, try not to molest the nursing staff. You'll be fine. Take Care. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

great things happen to good people. enjoy! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Rob: keep fighting the good fight. my youngest i fought for for years is now 21 years of age. things have come a long way, but the courts are still on the inclination to the learning curve and have not yet reached the plateau. Good Luck, Best Wishes. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

i wanted to say "Thanks" to Todd & Kathy Spillars for hosting this event. it was a lot of fun. i look forward to it each year. the food, entertainment scheduled, and unscheduled were second to none. i will see you guys and gals again soon. AOTMB rocks! -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

is it true or dream? -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

this would seem to be a civil matter. why are you going public with it? i doubt seriously this gentleman will respond in a positive manner after perusing your post. good luck on resolving this matter. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

fukkin' forget about it! J/K. (movie: "Good Fellas") i'll take your word for it! later -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall"

Shatner really isn't that bad, if it's compared to John Travolta's. but then, that's not saying a whole lot for either one of them. Richard

110% agreement here, no arguement. i've been on both sides of this spectrum, and an arguement can be made for both sides. i've had other skydivers fall past me while in the saddle at 1800 AGL at over 120 MPH, the point being always expect the unexpected. always have a back-up plan as well. Edit: as i mentioned this has happened to me twice so far while in the saddle, other sky divers in free fall not yet deployed falling past me at high rates of speed. and no, i didn't confront them, i figured the gene pool would thin itself out without my help. if i were to approach every situation in which i observed someone doing some thing ignorant, i would spend all day arguing, and none of the day sky diving. That's what the S&TA's are for. (i know, i know....*cough...cough*) my main point being not litigious, but one of heightned awareness. Richard
