I live in Baton Rouge, LA and only about 35-45 minutes away is the Myrtles plantation in St Francisville which is supposedly one of the most haunted in the country. Its a Bed N Breakfast so I plan on staying there for at least a night or two as soon as I find someone that wants to come along :) Tried checking out availiblity on Halloween but its booked for years in advance on that day :) Only skydivers know why the birds sing!

Hey I know lets get the government to legislate every aspect of our lives that would be much better wouldn't it? If there is anything that might be harmful in the slightest (I know smoking is not slightly harmful) we shouldn't be allowed to do it ... like alcohol because you know if we drink we are hurting ourselves and potentially others as well so lets get rid of alcohol as well. Pretty soon the government is gonna be telling us when we can take a shit ... I mean hell now they can take our house so that private investors can make more money why not get them involved in every aspect of our lives and bodies? BTW I am a smoker and I don't EVER smoke inside or inside the car when I have my kid with me but I really think our wonderful (ya right) government intrudes in matters dealing with MY body enough as it is Only skydivers know why the birds sing!

I know I will get ragged about it but I got interested in the sport a loooong time ago when I watched Drop Zone with Wesley Snipes for the first time I think it was probably 10 years ago and I just never had the money to get started there was always something more important to spend it on. Ever since that movie I have pretty much tried to find anything to watch that was about skydiving and watching some of the world championships and such just kept me interested. When I found out how much I was getting in Tax Returns I just decided damnit its time to just spend the money before it goes to something else Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

THATS GREAT! I agree with the other posts I am sure the only source of regret for the punk that killed her is that he was caught and is facing serious penalties as a result. Hopefully they are both truly punished and not given a slap on the wrist because they are young. I agree with the other post that it will most likely be blamed on movies like Fast and the Furious and such by the families which is truly a shame because you will also get the ones saying they just made a mistake and we shouldn't ruin their lives as a result but those same ones won't be saying much about the deceased lady's kids Only skydivers know why the birds sing!

GRATZ! on your first solo man ... can't wait till I get to that stage Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

isn't that how long the training is supposed to be before you do your first AFF jump? Probably won't be able to do all 4 AFF jumps that first day as my DZ is very small and does alot of tandems so probably won't be much room to jump on most loads that go up. But, I will definitely try to get as many in that first day as possible Yeah I am so addicted its not funny. Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

I understand where you are coming from but just as Lawrocket stated above the person on the cell phone does not have the intent of driving in a dangerous manner whereas the street racer does that is what makes the two situations different. I am sure the number of accidents caused by cell phone use is much larger than the number caused by street racers but if you look at the number of people driving while using cell phones as compared to the total number of street racers I am sure there would be a huge difference and I would almost guarantee that the ratio of accidents per person that street races would be much higher than driving with a cell phone. Its interesting that you bring up swooping as I would imagine the ratio of swoopers that get injured would be much higher than the general population of skydivers I am still a newbie so I don't know for sure but logic would suggest this to be true. Additionally I think a big difference when you try to compare the way swoooping is looked at and the way street racing is looked at is that swoopers for the most part are only endangering their own life.

I would have to disagree with your comparison of someone talking on a cell phone and these street racers. I mean yes talking on the cell phone or the other hypotheticals you mentioned are dangerous while behind the wheel but in my opinion street racing is a totally different situation and the intent behind it is completely different. I mean the lady on the cell phone didn't go out that day with the intention of being reckless whereas the street racer left the house with the intention of driving recklessly on a street that had traffic on it. I would have to agree with Lawrocket on this one. I think that these kids should be charged with first degree murder as they decided to street race and should face grave consequences for their actions. Additionally if they catch someone street racing they should have their liscense banned for life (or maybe restricted to driving a Yugo ) I guess I am just tired of seeing innocent people killed by complete morons. I am really not violent just feel that something needs to be done to make people understand that there will be consequences to their actions. Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

I am so excited my last tandem is done now I just have to figure out a time to schedule the 5 hour AFF course with my instructor and I can Jump under my own canopy I can't wait to do it unfortunately my instructor just moved to the area so can't do it until he gets settled I am so impatient don't wanna wait So how much better is it once you get finished with Tandem?

if its not the boot disk why are you installing XP on it? Want to be able to dual boot i.e. have Linux on one and Xp on the other? Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

you are so right about the fact that nakedness is a horrible thing here in America but its perfectly ok to show things like people getting there heads blown off on prime time TV. Talk about getting your priorities screwed up. I would prefer my son see a naked woman rather than watching somebody get blown away or any of the other violent acts that seem to be perfectly ok to show Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

Very good article my favorite part deals with the outcry that would have happened had they cast someone in the role of Kramer or any of the other cast members of Seinfeld and its a crying shame as there are some extremely good actors out there that will probably never get a shot as a result Only skydivers know why the birds sing!

Bingo! Our justice system was designed so that we would rather have 10 guilty people go free rather than have one innocent person put in jail. Too me that is somewhat comforting because I know I don't want to rot in a jail cell for something I didn't do. Lately there have been way too many cases where DNA has freed people that have spent 20+ years in prison for crimes they didn't commit. That to me is 1,000 times worse than MJ going free. I believe MJ is guilty but if the evidence wasn't there I guess justice won in the end (Not really but ... sigh) I would really like to see DAs that were of the same caliber as some of these high priced attorneys. Why not pay a supremely talented DA a LARGE salary to attract the best talent? Kind of even the playing field Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

I agree completely its all a matter of being rich and famous and having a different set of rules. This is just as disgusting as the OJ case Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

Its truly a shame Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

I think you are misconstruing what I meant I hate drama but I think its inevitable if two different people that are secure enough to not be doormats live together then there are gonna be some disagreements Only skydivers know why the birds sing! Jim

LOL -- hey a little constructive criticism never hurt right? Personally if I didn't have a son with my ex I wouldn't have anything to do with her again after she tried to take my son in the divorce. I agree with Kele01 to some degree that if there was NEVER any sort of disagreement or anything of that sort in a relationship it seems that that relationship would be somewhat boring. Although I am talking about healthy disagreements and infrequent at best but if you have two different people living together that have their own opinions it seems inevitable that there would be some disagreements.

Increasing your physical memory would also help with this problem and help with the performance of your computer as well. If you are consistently using up your virtual memory I would imagine performance is also suffering. Accessing your hard drive for memory is extremely slow when compared with having enough RAM. Memory these days is still relatively cheap and its pretty easy to install and can make a HUGE difference in the speed of your computer ecspecially when dealing with XP.
