  1. I'm in no pain and I'm more of an Advil person, but do you happen work for the people that make Allegra? They gave out some lotion as a promotional item a few years back, but it didn't have a "name" and it was really awesome lotion - it had sea salt in it. I just want to know what it was, who makes it and where to find it. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  2. Are those mexican prices or the "special internet" prices. IMO, Physicians aren't going to get that much of a kick back on weed like they do on those pain pills that you don't need and won't work when you do need them because they were way over prescribed to begin with.

  3. I was there last year for the last 4 days and when I got to jump, I never had any canopy issues and I don't recall seeing any. (not saying there weren't any, I just didn't encounter or see any) The only time I say interference was during the pond swooping. Tandems were landing as the swooper were trying to set up so the swoopers had to abort. The people I saw doing stupid stuff and got hurt had 200 -2000 jumps. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  4. That is one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard on this topic. I'm guessing most FDA approved pain pills are more expensive than a bag of weed. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  5. If you witness a safety problem at a DZ then you need to speak with your S&TA, DZO, and/or Regional Director. If you look back over the years, you will see the injured and dead were experienced jumpers. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  6. They are arguments where there never will be a winner. My Rig/canopy/dz, etc. is better than yours is kinda rididulous argument. Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  7. what type of preparation? Although the outcome is usually the same, each TM may have a different way teaching. Relative Workshop or Strong may have something on their websites. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  8. I don't think there will be that many jumping because most are still renting gear, unless all the manufacturers are going to let the unlicensed jumpers demo their gear. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  9. Due to the amount of bandwidth and time spent arguing over whose container is better and whose canopies are better, etc. I would like to suggest a virtual playground to duke it out to end these endless arguments and childish behavior. (I have been guilty of such behavior myself) In this playground, you could duke it out like you were in 2nd grade again, throw sand, call each other butt faces, etc. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  10. Alot of people getting alot of freebies! J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  11. Thank you billvon for clarifying exactly what you meant.
  12. Seen that malfunction too many times. So do you think we should have some type of canopy type requirement if you are going to jump a birdman suit. Let's focus on the "landing off". That is the part that has really bothered me. You can land off the dz at any time and you need to be able to handle those situation or upsize your canopy. Just because you are doing 4-way doesn't mean you are going to land on the dz. Is that statement wrong? Is there some guarantee out there that no one told me about, maybe skyride offers some type of land on the dz every non-bigway jump insurance. I am unfamiliar with Formula One car racing, cross country skiing, and skeet shooting so I can't comment on any of those. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  13. Are you comfortable landing off the dz under your stilleto? Can you handle heavy traffic with it? Maybe the get-back-itis incidents have something to do with people not comfortable landing their canopy off the dz. just a thought. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  14. Wilder calls it `wrong' for agents to offer money to lawmakers By Matt Gouras The Associated Press May 27, 2005 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - In a rambling Senate speech and prayer, Lt. Gov. John Wilder said it was "wrong" for undercover agents to bait lawmakers with money. Wilder also revealed he was offered $300,000 years ago from a coal company that was seeking preferential treatment from the state. He was responding to the arrests Thursday of four sitting lawmakers and a former one in a federal bribery and extortion sting operation. Sens. John Ford and Kathryn Bowers of Memphis were absent from the Legislature Friday following their arrests. Sen. Ward Crutchfield and Rep. Chris Newton returned to Capitol Hill. Former Sen. Roscoe Dixon also was charged. "I'm hurt because John is where he is, and Roscoe is where he is and Kathryn is where she is," Wilder said. "It's rough. We're family. Three members of our family are in hell. Why? Because they're legislators." Wilder, a Democrat who has been Senate speaker since 1971, also brought the foibles of former Gov. Ray Blanton into his speech, proclaiming Blanton was innocent. Wilder didn't explain exactly why, but Blanton's conviction for selling liquor licenses was overturned after he finished a prison sentence. Wilder said he was offered money from the coal company, through his son, at about the same time Blanton got in trouble in the late 1970s. Wilder said he turned down the money, telling the company he supported mining whether they gave him money or not. Wilder said he will treat the indicted lawmakers as full members of the Legislature. "As far as I'm concerned, they are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," he said. "I hurt because we have some members that are in serious trouble." Several lawmakers have criticized authorities for allowing phony bills to be put before lawmakers as part of the sting. Others said undercover agents went too far by offering money as "bait" to trap the indicted lawmakers. Wilder seemed to agree during a prayer he made to lawmakers after his speech. "Money out there was here offered as bait to get someone in jail," he said. "It's wrong. It's not your (God's) way." Wilder also touched on a number of other topics: Lamenting his failed effort to get state employees a pay raise above 3 percent and promising to renew the fight in January. Chastising attacks he suffered from the far right in the last election, saying the "right-to-lifers tried to kill me." Praising the Senate, locked in a slim 17-16 Republican majority, for shelving partisanship and saying they all are still "family." _________________________________ Since John Wilder is in my district, I called his office and asked for his resignation. He is just as corrupt as John Ford (and told the secretary that). I voted for the other guy and it was a tight race, but unfortunately my guy lost. Ford had to pick which residence he was going to have his house arrest at and he choose his mistresses so now the wife is going to court to complain that they are depriving his children their father. I guess the mercedes, lexus and bmw most be broken otherwise she could drive them over there. She knows where they live, she drove her car through the house once before. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  15. I like my saphire (1). I wish they never changed it. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  16. I had fun jump with Nancy, wish the weather would have held out for more. Please thank her again for the jump.
  17. Everything they said and if you want to go to the WFFC you will need to show it and I don't think they accepted a protrack as a log book. If you ever want to get an instructor rating you have to show your logged jumps. You may say no (to ever getting a rating) to it now, but you never know..
  18. So Billvon, please correct if I interpeted this wrong, but from what you wrote it sound like you are flying a canopy (the nitro) beyond your ability because you won't jump it if you are more likly to land off or in a heavy traffic situation? j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  19. But John, your drive to WTS will be just a little longer if you move to Atlanta. I'm gonna talk to your wife about this! j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

  21. The only person I saw land was the one that had the reserve ride, just happen to be flipping through the channels and came across it. He just happened to be the only one I knew on the jump. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

  23. It's a happy happy day in Tennessee! The morning crew on Rock103 are doing the happy dance and dry humping the couch. I can't stop smiling thinking of this prick in schackels. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
  24. In 1999 we got a record of 118 in 2002 we broke it and with 131. Not sure what it was before that but I think it was 100-way in france, but i could be making that up I wasn't there. Congrats to your friend.
