Maybe I should ask my mom for advice, but I probably wouldn't listen. Once again I'M NOT PLANNING ON ACTUALLY QUITTING MY JOB AND LIVING AT THE DZ. I just thought it would be interesting to see how long I could last on that much money (and I realize it's not a lot) My actual plan is that I'm quitting this current job that I'm at cause I can't hardly stand Saudi Arabia any longer and moving back to the states where I will find a new job, before I came here I had two job offers in kind of electronic jobs that paid pretty good, so I'll look into doing something like that. The money I have now will not be invested, because I'll need a lot of it to buy a car, insurance, apartment, food, traveling to where my new job will be and all that jazz. Obviously I'm not gonna spend all of it, but once I've landed a job and started working I'm gonna start my AFF and start skydiving on weekend and that will take up a chunk of money too I'm sure. A friend of mine I work with came up with an idea I actually like for investing my money, moving to the phillipeans with him and opening up a bar/pool hall in Angelas City, could be fun, and a great adventure, just got to check if there is a DZ in the phillipeans first, that would be the deal breaker. Damn I love not having any responsibilities!!! We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

This got way off the topic of what I was originally asking, now we are talking about investments and inheritence, don't really care about that stuff anyways, besides, the way I live I'm not really planning on living to 80 or anything, I'd be happy with 60ish, and that's something no one can count on anyways. And on the long term medical care stuff, I don't know for sure what kind of plans my parents have for that one, but I'm sure it's a good one and they've already planned on it, that's just how my mom is, I'm more like my dad and don't really worry about that stuff. Anywho, thanks for all the advice, I'm sure it's all good stuff to think about, and maybe someday I will, or maybe I'll be like my dad and marry a woman who is a financial guru, we'll just have to wait and see how the crazy story works out. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

I did earn the money myself working in Saudi Arabia, but I don't really believe in long term savings or long term investments. I prefer to live somewhat in the moment, no one knows when their time will be and I'd kick my dead self in the ass if I died with a bunch of money in the bank. As for retirement, I should be able to pretty much retire off what my parents leave me in about 30 or 40 years, people in my family usually don't live past 80 and my parents would be in their 80's and 90's by then and I'd be between 53 and 63, they aren't rich exactly, but my mom is one of those investment geniouses that holds on to her money, besides, who knows if I'll even live that long. By the way, I said I wasn't going to do the whole live on the dz thing, just curious how long I could last for, probably less than a year would be my guess, still gotta eat and what not, but it would be a hell of a ride. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Now I'm not actually going to do this cause I still want to live comfortably (nice house/apartment, big t.v., video games, traveling) but it would be a dream of mine if I wasn't such a pussy. So anyways, in about 4 months, I'll have about 25 grand in my bank account and no bills to pay, my question is how long do you think I could skydive off that if I lived like a bum, like a trailer near the dz or something, and do work for the dz for supplementary income. Now keep in mind that I would still have to do AFF and either rent or buy some equipment. It would probably be cheaper in the long run of course to buy some used or new equimpent than have to rent it every day, but it would take a big chunck out of the 25 grand pretty quick. Peace.

I wanted you'll to do the leg work for me, damn!! We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Thanks for the open bus tour idea, I'd heard of those, but wasn't sure how good they were, have to look into getting one of those when we're there. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

We're actually doing three nights in each city, so it should be enough to see some good stuff. I don't know a whole lot about the places, in London, I want to see Big Ben and the different historical stuff like the palace and crown jewels and shit, in Paris I definately want to see the Eiffel Tower, but not sure what else, don't know what to see in Amsterdam, in Rome I want to see the coloseum and other historical stuff, love history, and in Athens not sure what to see, thanks for the advice so far, I pretty much know what I kinda want to see historically wise in London and Rome, it's more what to see in Paris, Amsterdam, and Athens, especially historical and nightlife kind of stuff. What are these places exactly Trocadero, Les Jardins du Luxembourg, the Pere Lachaise cimetary, window shopping on Les Champs Elysees. Price is somewhat of a factor, but not much, I make enough that I want to experience as much as possible, I'm planning on doing tandems in Italy, (be my girlfriends first and my third) but better prices is always good, thanks again.

OK, me and my girlfriend are going to Europe next month, and I could look online for where to go, but with my slow ass internet it's easier to ask you guys. My destinations are London, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, and Athens, curious where the cool places to see are, whether they are restraunts, bars, clubs, sightseeing, historical, or whatever, just want to go to cool places. I appreciate the help. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

go to www.hotels.com, you can browse and see pics of the place and you pay in advance (hotel charge and taxes) so you don't have to worry about paying when you get there, unless you order porn. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Greg from Zebrahead, he's just plain awesome We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Nope, non-believer, it seems there are more non-believers in skydiving than there are believers, anywho, I worship chuck norris. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

When I was in the airforce, there was this 26 year old Morman guy I worked with who didn't know what a scrotum was, we were troubleshooting an aircraft after startup and we told him to go ask the pilot if his scrotum was fuzzy, he almost did it too, but we stopped him before he did..........didn't actually want him to get in trouble

So either; have no spectators = boring and no atmosphere or Arrest offending trouble makers and Ban them for life. once a few have been banned then the others will decide what is more important, the riots or the football? if the want football they will behave and if they want riot they will go to a (North American) hockey game. I like your idea, in the Air Force everyone was punsihed for the stupidity of a few and I always hated that mentality, shame on me for doing the same thing, maybe there should just be really strict rules on trouble makers and then everyone else can enjoy the game without fear of getting hit in the head with a beer bottle.

I'll sell you mine, I'm not using it anyways, just name a price. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

So maybe what you're trying to argue is that the world might be better off without spectators. The world is definitely better of with competitive sports, and any participatory sports, but as for those who just watch them from the couch, maybe not so good. I think you're right, although the ones on the couches aren't the ones causing the problems, if they do at least it's in their own house we just need to get rid of the stadiums, that's where all the shit happens like people getting pushed down bleachers or starting fights out in the parking lot. I also forgot about hockey like the other guy mentioned, and I'd also get rid of all gnome related sports. We die only once, but for such a very long time.

True true.........I have been called retarded before, so maybe there is something to that. It all kinda depends on how you define a sport, I know plenty of people that wouldn't consider skydiving, skateboarding, or snowboarding sports, most of them are military or ex military guys, but that's what I've been most exposed to the last 5 years. I was really more referring to mainstreem team sports like soccer, football, maybe even basketball and baseball. Don't know if what I'm writing now makes me more or less retarded, but at least I'm sober. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

HELP!!!! Someone hijacked my thread and turned it to their own wierd gnome fantasies!! We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

My neighbor and one of my best friends parents own two bichon frises and I pretty much grew up with them, so vicariously I owned them too. The male dog was really posessive (if you hugged my friends mom he would bark at you) and he was an all around pain in the ass, he even bit me on the nose once, and that shit hurt. They also had a girl one, she was a lot cooler and a lot less aggressive. Personally I prefer shee tzu's (spelling?) My parents have one of those and they rock, hardley ever bark, very mild mannered and love to get attention. Hope some of this helps. We die only once, but for such a very long time.

I agree, but I'm not doing it for anyone else, and on top of that no one else is injured or killed because of me jumping We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

I completely agree that religion can do without sports, but both are things that people do crazy shit for, like kill and die for. What would you be willing to die for? I would be willing to die for the happiness of my family and loved ones, that's about it. If the happiness of my family included sporting events, they can go fuck themselves, cause that's just stupid. We die only once, but for such a very long time.

I was just venting on this shit, but if it can get some people thinking, than I'm happy We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Naw, I haven't done any sports since 7th grade, I only really had one friend that was into sports in highschool, and he is crazy spiritual/vegetarian now. We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Sorry, just have to vent for moment, and I'm drunk, so that doesn't help. I was flipping through the news and some sporting event caused a small riot where 50 people were injured and the cops had to use tear gas and rubber bullets! Seriously people, how retarded are you that you car that much about a stupid sport team (I think it was soccer, but not sure on that). RETARDED!!!!! That's all I can say We die only once, but for such a very long time. I'll believe in ghosts when I catch one in my teeth.

Hey, I'll do your survey, I'm don't exactly frequently take part in extreme sports (simply because I can't right now) but I day dream about it constantly and think about what songs I want in my first dvd, lol.
