This is true. LOL "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

I was the same way. Taking my semester's notes and reordering them into study outlines was half of my studying. It was the only way I could effectively conceptualize some of that material. We had a cpl of people that treated their notes and outlines like treasure and would never think of giving them out. I was never like that. We shared around our outlines and used them to beef up the sections that were "fuzzy" (usually from me not going to class that day!!!) Good luck on your exams!!!! Next year you'll actually get to enjoy the holidays!!! "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Do you know for sure the lens doesn't work with the helmet? If so and you have to end up modifying the helmet there are several discussion threads on here addressing how to go about cutting carbon fiber (ie. mask, gloves, remove camera and other electronics from the work area). Also - would it be possible to add a UV filter or other adaptor ring to get you some length to clear the distance you need? "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Mine just likes to crawl up under the computer desk. He starts to bath or scratch....hits the power strip and accidently shuts down my machine. "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

No - i believe you're thinking of chaudin. Its not legal to make and sell that now. Boudin is just meat and rice and spices in a casing. "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

What our littermate doesn't "rake" into the little hopper, my border collie takes care of...Just don't let him give you kisses!!!! His teeth are remarkably white though. I'm thinking that abrasive litter must work like a milkbone or something - haha. Seriously, our neighbor bought that unit you're looking at and says it works very well. She has 4 cats so it gets a workout I'm sure. "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

One of our salesmen just dropped off 9 lbs of it from a little place near here called "Best Stop" - it makes for one hell of a breakfast!!!! "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Words I now live by..... "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

I have obviously not read your contract; but how can you be both a contractual and at will employee? Doesn't your contract establish an expectation of continued employment? "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

I am no vidiot, nor do I pretend to be one. I just have a simple question for those that film tandems on their back (with their feet out toward the subject). How do you get into that position in the proper slot? Do you launch normally presenting your chest to the relative wind and then transition to your seat or do you launch straight into that position and maneuver from there? This is really just for my own information because I'm curious. I'm sure different people do it differently but I'd like to hear from those who employ this method. "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

My CEO recently introducted me to an italian resturant on Westheimer called La Trattoria. They have been dining there for years. We had a great meal. Its on the small/intimate side and would be good for a date. "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

What? Is this the female equivalent to the roshambo from South Park? "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

We use a Roomba. Its a robat vacuum from a company called IRobot. We leave turn it on when we leave in the morning and it does its thing. We empty it when we get home. We run it every other day and it does a great job. It also entertains the cats!!!!! We saved a bunch of money by getting one from a wholesaler on Ebay.

Can do it officially on Sept. 19th - International Talk Like a Pirate Day. http://www.talklikeapirate.com/ "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Demonstrative evidence backing up AggieDave's comment. "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

dohhhhhhhhh!!!!! "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

I found what truely lies at the end of a rainbow and its much better than gold!!!!!! "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

I have recieved some great input. Thanks to everyone for their observations. I welcome this and ask that you keep it coming. To respond to the last post.... The cutaway system is actually comprised of military belly mount reserve cone and pin assemblies. It is a hardened metal cone with a hole drilled through the tip. The round clip sits at the base of the cone held in place by the cutaway cable. It is the same mechanism used to release the "belly wart" The only difference is I used flexible coated cable instead of metal swagged pins. I too was initially worried about the travel on the cones and considered using the teflon washers paragear sells for use with these assemblies. However, we loaded it up and time after time, even with a slight difference in the direction of pull and travel of the cable, it released with very little effort. If anything it was a little too easy. So we changed the velcro on the cutaway pillow and inset it in the foam on the back of the pad so it would be flush and not be excessively pressed into the base plate by contact with my stomach. It seems to work just fine. I am planning on doing some shake-down jumps this weekend and will update on how it goes. "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Thanks Phree...That's a really good suggestion. Anything that improves the functionality and reduces the pain associated with "shake-down" jumps at the beginning is greatly appreciated. "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

The current mounting arm allows the plate to be articulated up and down on the bottom axis, to spin 360 in the middle and back and forth on the top axis. So it can catch just about any angle you need (at least for my purposes.) "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Just wanted to show everyone a new belly mount that my dad and I fabricated recently. I have to say that my involvement in this project was limited mainly to saying..."Hey dad....how do you think this would work?" He took the ball and ran with it from there. My only real contribution to the project was the fabrication of the base plate (courtesy of my office's manufacturing personnel). In addition to be being one hell of an informal engineer, dad is a former jumper too so he understands the usage, the snag risks, (hence the cutaway system) and what I was going for etc... Thanks again to him for his help on all my hairbrain projects!!! "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

The only quote I can remember at the moment is from one of the pilots of the CASA during a toy jump....... "Dude.....tell that chick to make a hole so I can see the bannana going out." "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

Didn't read previous thread...sorry. The reason I did it...I got major cudos for my wife's blood drive at my office. I had not given blood in a long time. I found out I was a univeral doner with a RH factor. They jumped all over me...It just got me thinking. Not trying to be morbid...LOL "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."

leaving in 5 hrs - ooooooh .... so excited I can't sleep. Better than the night before band camp!!!!!!! "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
