It's lean muscle. The protein mix is by Optimum Nutrition which I bought at a local GNC store. I am almost finished with my second container. I forgot to mention that I have been going to Golds Gym for a 1.5 hour weight training workout ever other day, 'cept weekends which I take off. I just fell over backwards in my chair. Every other day, except weekends? You gained ten pounds a month lifting Monday-Wednesday-Friday?! I don't know what to say. Obviously my years of experience and experimentation have lied to me. By this time next year, you should have gained a whole other person, with an additional 120 pounds. I work in a gym, and normally spend 1.5 hours lifting six days, on a 1-2-3, 1-2-3 split (1-chest & tris, 2-back & bi's, 3-legs & shoulder, Monday thru Saturday), and I haven't made the astonishing gains like you have...but I know some who have, and they didn't get it from GNC. What's the name of this miracle supplement? Roll Tide Roll

I think one fact overlooked by, at least, our Scandanavian friend, is the matter of the big American flag being used as a super-slide/ass-protector. Sure, things like that will happen sometimes unexpectedly, but to post them as accolades and pride is not encouraged - especially considering those who have loved ones overseas who could be blown up at any minute. Roll Tide Roll

Billy? Billy is a lot of things (profane, obnoxious, bad breath & b.o., temperamental, reminiscent of one of those guys in ABBA), but he is never anonymous in anything he writes. Roll Tide Roll

There, there (patting you on the back), I would bet he's hiding out somewhere with Jim Morrison, and still alive. From the looks of the picture, they shared much of the same nutritional values. Roll Tide Roll

Plus it depends on if you are packing yourself or paying someone to do it for you. Roll Tide Roll

I guess I do that a lot. Another cause of confusion is there are three threads running somewhat parallel to one-another in the forums, and it's sometimes hard to remember if what I am referencing five posts back is in fact in the current line. Roll Tide Roll

Yes. Re-read the post in the context of this thread and previous post from similar threads I have referenced, but to save you time, here's the gist: A few years ago, a post was fraudulently made by someone pretending to be me, on rec.skydiving, including my real e-mail address at the time. It was insane and barely intelligible, and the person who wrote it likely penned a note purporting to be from me, to the St. Clair Airport Authority, where ASC had just moved in. It was all an attempt to discredit and/or intimidate me in my town. The same person(s) really should have taken some night courses since dropping out if they really wanted to write and try to mimic someone like me. When I discovered each of these issues over the next couple of weeks, I didn't bother to send notes or letters in my inquiry. I was told (in person) at the time that it was "probably those guys up at Cullman (Jonathan, you prick!) or over at Thomaston" who did it, once again, trying to make ASC look bad ('cuz everyone knows it's all just a conspiracy put on by the jealous dzo's). It was traced back to them soon enough. Even better, before the truth came out, they had already presented those letters as "evidence" when their hangar was (supposedly) broken into and their gear (supposedly) stolen. Can you imagine what a Quantico-trained Pell City detective felt like when he realized how he had been jerked around?! When they were confronted about the sign issue in Roswell, again, the official inquirer was given a similar story. They told him that it was Thomaston trying to make them look bad. It didn't help that the complainant also got mixed up in who he was calling and who he was speaking with at the time all that was going on, as well as who he should have been talking to. "Oh, he doesn't work for us, he works for the competition trying to make us look bad by putting our signs and bumper stickers all over any object within a (then) 300 mile radius." THIS is who they are. It's like I told some nice prostitutes I was talking to on the Vegas Strip a month ago: "It may seem like easy money, but when you finally get your degree this job choice is supporting, how's your record going to look on your application when everyone knows what you did?" Roll Tide Roll

How similar? SO, let's say I call Orbitz, and say I am in Salt Lake City, and I need to go to Chicago. If they take my money and book my flight (oh, I forgot to say I wanted to fly), and then two weeks later I get to the SLC airport, can they rightfully tell me I need to drive to Los Angeles to get on the plane?! Is this not what happens when people in SLC book a skydive through your company? This is what you work for. Ugh. Why I even waste my time... Roll Tide Roll

The only "beating of a dead horse" happening is the most current batch of pawns coming on and defending the practices of that company and its owner(s). There should be a shirt given to each newly-exed Skyride employee - "God Save (his name here)," the 'apparently overzealous employee who scoffed at the beautification laws to promote the company, unbeknownst to anyone that whole time'...or, again, was it done in that Machiavellian style of the Thomaston group, using him to make Skyride look bad, as was told to town officials for explanation? If they did it to someone who blindly and loyally followed them as long as he did, they will do it to you. Roll Tide Roll

And if this was the case (which somehow I had missed at some point earlier), I have to retract the statement sometime back when the number was actually stolen, where I commented that they "...couldn't get any lower than stealing a dead father and husband's business line for their own personal use..." But, of course, it couldn't have been them - as was the excuse when confronted with the forged posts listing me as author on rec.skydiving as well as forged e-mails purporting to be from me to the St. Clair County Airport Authority (Pell City) and others, "it must have been those guys over at Thomaston and up at Cullman just trying to stir up trouble!!!" Roll Tide Roll

Do you mean the "outcome" of changing the company from the inside? >sigh< Now if that isn't cock-eyed optimism, I don't know what is! Roll Tide Roll

You've got to be kidding me. It's because THEY aren't YOU. That's why THEY don't just simply call up the phone companies all over and say THEY are YOU, and change the toll-free destination...speaking of, your thoughts on that incident please, if you have the audacity? My God, are the phones not ringing over there or something?!?! Roll Tide Roll

So, you know everything going on there, huh? Hmmmm, then a few questions, but for later. I am confused about that last part there - are you saying when the lawsuits and injunction hearings are over, that's when you will see what anyone has to say? If that's the case, lad, then everyone would think O.J. was innocent. It won't change any minds. On the other hand, are you saying that your "wait for the outcome" means that is the point at which you will decide where your loyalties lie? Huh-huh...I said "lie." Roll Tide Roll

Four years. Four years you have worked there; and yet, you still have the audacity to try to make legitimate and beneficial reason of it. In your office pep-talk meetings, you are obviously filled with how much of everything stated about your company are lies perpetrated by the jealous. Just keep your ideas to yourself while you fight the same private, internal battle of so many before you, and when you finally get your conscientous epiphany (or you are/have been thrown under the bus as pawn), maybe no one will know who you are well enough to remind you of how stupid you were for so long - or question the timing of your defection. Roll Tide Roll

I apologize, but I am kinda lost in this conversation. Are you asking why doesn't anyone want to steal your domains and pretend to be Skyride? If that's the actual question, then you need to go back to civics class: "A breaks into B's house and steals his television; B breaks into A's house and steals his microwave. Which is the scummy cockroach thief?" Roll Tide Roll

Oh my gosh. I just got dizzy thinking about it. Throw in a salad with heart-of-palm and I'm yours forever... Roll Tide Roll

Clarify? What are you talking about? Roll Tide Roll

You just don't want this thing to go away, do you Blue Eyes? If you can get them to do the front side, the back side should be no problem. Maybe if you post your full face/body pic, you might get some offers. Just remember: latex glove, fingernail clippers, ceiling scrubber. Roll Tide Roll

I knew that. Maybe he can fill us in more on the specifics of his situation. Roll Tide Roll

I didn't want to presume anything before I heard the explanation. It really depends on the circumstances - recovering from a terrible accident or debilitating condition? Maybe, with all the calories; but lean muscle? Not on protein alone, and not on anything that is currently legal (or isn't about to be banned as soon as the government catches up with the formula this version). Roll Tide Roll

What do you take? I have had best results with Muscle Milk - the Chocolate Peanut Butter tastes just like a pulverized Reese's Cup. 23 pounds in two months? Lean muscle? Roll Tide Roll

That's the other one I was trying to think of. See you there sometime. They don't do what I referenced earlier, do they? Roll Tide Roll

I get down to Naples frequently, and keep meaning to bring my rig. When choosing a preferred dropzone in an area, I don't usually have a list of requirements (don't even care if it's a 182 operation); however, I don't do places that accept certain gift certificates. Isn't there one at Immokalee and also one at Punta Gorda or something like that? Roll Tide Roll

I thought of this one last night, but I hate to keep coming back. That sound almost makes me cry. What REALLY makes me mad is when someone notices it's bothering me and just puts the fork between their teeth and goes to town with it. I left a restaurant once because of it...and I was the driver. Roll Tide Roll

I don't mean to sound shallow, but a lot of women get better looking with age, from twenties, to thirties, to forties, I mean - Diane Cannon, Goldie Hawn, Nicolette Sheridan, Cybill Shepard, and the Cougar from "Sex and the City," I forgot her name. Not so with Paris. Now, Nicky? She's everything Paris isn't. Roll Tide Roll
