You're just not cool because you're a lawyer... Mike

Don't try to starve yourself for several days...it won't do what you think it will. When you resume eating, your body will think that it's the only food it's gonna get, and will immediately store it as fat. In the meantime, your muscle will be eaten away to power your body. Try this instead of "fasting" for several days...do twice as long, but limit yourself to, say, 800-1000 calories a day. A good way to do it is to go buy boneless, skinless chicken, and throw 'em in the oven. Each piece is roughly 200-250 calories, mostly protein and no carbs. Eat 4 pieces a day. Drink lots of water. You really should take in SOME carbs, though not a large amount... Also, if you plan on working out while you're starving yourself, you're in for a world of hurt. Your body will do things to you that you never imagined. If you're lucky, you'll just be very dizzy much of the time when working hard. You won't have enough energy to get all you can out of your workouts. You may even pass out. Mike

I don't remember that....where was I?! The only beer I had that week, other than the free stuff out of the trailer and some from the bar, was the Shiner that Brains brought....mmmmm.......shiner...... Mike

Dude, she can do whatever she wants.....after all, she's royalty... Mike

God, I sure as hell hope he deletes that part... Mike

Some car companies can tell if you took the car out of state....for instance, Hertz can tell if it has one of those GPS navigation systems. I never knew that until I returned a car once in Denver, and the guy commented about it being such a long trip to Kansas City and back...which is exactly where I went, with many stops along the way.. I didn't use the gps nav system, though...it wasn't even turned on.. I've heard that some others use a Lojack type recovery system that they can actually track the car anytime. Supposedly, this is being fought in court by many privacy groups. As it stands now, they can only track you to within something like 100 square miles when they're doing it from their HQ...it only works like Lojack when the system is "fully activated", and ground based units are used as well.....whatever that means.. Which company is telling you that you won't have unlimited miles if you take it out of state? Which state are you picking up in, and going to? IL to FL? I've always had good experiences with AVIS and Hertz...but they're the ones I use most because the company has accounts with both. Mike

So that would explain.....uh...nevermind.... Mike

It's just an aviation related forum...in one of the "pro pilot" sections....you see, we get very bored during those many hours sitting in the cockpit during cruise with nothing to do.. Mike

Monsters are on in the morning now(I think 6 to 10am), Philips is on the normal time(3 to 7pm). In between there is some new thing....John and Jack...Jeff and Jim...something like that... I listened for a few hours one day while driving, and was not at all amused.. Garabo has never been on XM as far as I know. Mike

I don't have that going over my minutes problem....I've never seen a bill higher than....wait a sec, I don't get a bill....company cell phones are a great thing.... Actually, I have one of those Blackberry things....still trying to figure every little feature out after several months.. Mike

Ok...now is it just me, or does anybody else think that is lame as hell? He's just trying to get press coverage I'm sure.. Mike

Found this on another message board I frequent....laughed my ass off...thought somebody here might enjoy it.. Dear Susan : I know the counsellor said we shouldn't contact each other during our "cooling off" period, but I couldn't wait anymore. The day you left, I swore I'd never talk to you again. But that was just the wounded little boy in me talking. Still, I never wanted to be the first one to make contact. In my fantasies, it was always you who would come crawling back to me. I guess my pride needed that. But now I see that my pride's cost me a lot of things. I'm tired of pretending I don't miss you. I don't care about looking bad anymore. I don't care who makes the first move as long as one of us does. Maybe it's time we let our hearts speak as loudly as our hurt. And this is what my heart says... "There's no one like you, Susan." I look for you in the eyes and breasts of every woman I see, but they're not you. They're not even close. Two weeks ago, I met this girl at Ithaca Bar and brought her home with me. I don't say this to hurt you, but just to illustrate the depth of my desperation. She was young, maybe 19, with one of those perfect bodies that only youth and maybe a childhood spent ice skating can give you. I mean, just a perfect body. Jugs you wouldn't believe and an ass like a tortoise shell. Every man's dream, right? But as I sat on the couch being blown by this stunner, I thought, look at the stuff we've made important in our lives. It's all so superficial. What does a perfect body mean? Does it make her better in bed? Well, in this case, yes. But you see what I'm getting at. Does it make her a better person? Does she have a better heart than my moderately attractive Susan? I doubt it. And I'd never really thought of that before. I Don't know, maybe I'm just growing up a little. Later, after I'd tossed her about a half a pint of throat yogurt, I found myself thinking, "why do I feel so drained and empty?" It wasn't just her flawless technique or her slutty, shameless hunger, but something else. Some ****ling feeling of loss. Why did it feel so incomplete? And then it hit me. It didn't feel the same because you weren't there, Susan, to watch. Do you know what I mean? Nothing feels the same without you. Jesus, Susan, I'm just going crazy without you. And everything I do just reminds me of you. Do you remember Carol, that single mom we met in Upper Side last year? Well, she dropped by last week with a pan of lasagna. She said she figured I wasn't eating right without a woman around. I didn't know what she meant till later, but that's not the real story. Anyway, we had a few glasses of wine and the next thing you know we're banging away in our old bedroom. And this tart's a total monster in the sack. She's giving me everything, you know like a real woman does when she's not hung up about her weight or her career and whether the kids can hear us. And all of a sudden she spots that tilting mirror on your grandmother's old vanity. So she puts it on the floor and we straddle it, right, so we can watch ourselves. And it's totally hot, but it makes me sad too. 'Cause I can't help thinking, "Why didn't Susan ever put the mirror on the floor? We've had this old vanity for what, 14 years, and we never used it as a sex aid." Saturday, your sister drops by with my copy of the restraining order. I mean, Vicky's just a kid and all, but she's got a pretty good head on her shoulders and she's been a real friend to me during this painful time. She's given me lots of good counsel about you and about women in general. She's pulling for us to get back together, Susan, She really is. So we're drinking in a hot bath and talking about happier times. Here's this teenage girl with the same DNA as you and all I can do is think of how much she looked like you when you were 18. And that just about makes me cry. And then it turns out Vicky's really into the whole anal thing and that gets me to thinking about how many times I pressured you about trying it and how that probably fuelled some of the bitterness between us. But do you see how even then, when I'm thrusting inside your baby sister's cinnamon ring, all I can do is think of you? It's true, Susan. In your heart you know it. Don't you think we could start over? Just wipe out all the grievances and start fresh? I think we can. If you feel the same please, please, please let me know, otherwise, can you let me know where the remote control is. John

Unfortunately, it's not just a phenomenon on dz.com....but thoughout the industry. I feel the same way, though....and I expect others to feel the same if I pound in under a good canopy. I fly a high wingloading for my experience, but I know that...and accept the risks. Too many people don't understand the risks, but since somebody told them it would be OK....everybody else is just wrong to tell them it's not OK. Oh well....can't save everybody from themselves. Mike

Hmmmm.....I wonder who that guy could be... You two don't make it blatantly obvious...but if somebody is paying attention(or occasionally reads the boards while sober, like my case)...it's pretty obvious.. Mike

Of course, what you don't know is that he is still reading everything....just not logging on....and he's saving his responses so that as soon as that 48 hours has passed, he can hit SEND and launch all 12 bajillion responses in like 20 seconds.. Mike

Dude, true love is overrated.. I've experienced it twice in my life......and I think I've experienced it one more time than anybody is ever meant to...and both times it ended in disaster. Fuck it. If you're having fun, forget about "love"...if it's meant to happen, it will....otherwise enjoy lust and don't worry about anything else. Mike

If you ever overnight in SAF(Santa Fe, NM), let me know which hotel you're staying at.....I'll tell ya how to get to a great....uh....adult entertainment facility... Believe me, it'll change your mind about those types of establishments.. Mike

I hope you bought all of those 12 folks BEER!! Mike

As others have stated, a turbine Westwind is a Beech 18 with turbine engines.... HERE is a pic of one... It may be a VOLPAR, which is a tricycle gear turbine Beech 18, in which case HERE is one picture, and HERE is another.. Mike

Naw...not really...CB is just always on the lookout for a chance to get free beer....you should've seen him at Eloy during the holiday boogie... Mike

I don't jump barefoot....or in any open shoes like Tevas...I had a bad experience years ago when I landed in an area on the airport other than the main landing area...and ended up pulling thorns out of my feet for a week..fuck that, I jump with regular shoes now.. Mike

I had totally forgotten that song until your post....I made the mistake of clicking on a link to it somebody posted here a few weeks ago....but when I read your post, I thought of it again.... I had to drink lots to purge that horrible sound from my thoughts... AD's song removed it, though..

Is that Dave singing? Nice job.. I had a hard time understanding part of the song....but I'm guessing it's about the A&M students that died in the bonfire..? Mike

If you love the A-10, you'll love THIS video.. (make sure you right click, then SAVE AS - the download may be slow...the file is only 6.8meg though) A year from now, I may even be able to tell you what it's like to fly the A-10... Mike

Yea...but in a good way...you'll enjoy every second of it, and beg for more! Mike
