  2. I am forced to have Medicare because no other insurance company will accept me. Ironically, it's not because of the high risk for cancer, but the Cerebral Palsy.....which does not get any worse over time (at least in my case). It limits me from practically nothing. Go figure that one out ...... Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of

  5. Hey......that's not a bad idea Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  6. Would you be honest and admit to your doctor that you skydive? As many of you know, I've decided to get my A....however I need to work at more than most. I started going to the gym, but feel this alone is not to make me a fit skydiver. Seeing that I'm taking AFF next season, I have some time. So, I've decided to start physical therapy so that my hamstrings are loose, resulting in a greater range of motion in my legs. I'm going to the doctor today so that he can write me a prescription for the physical therapy so that my insurance will cover the costs. I'm wondering if I should tell him the truth if he asks: "so, why the sudden interest with being in better shape?' I don't want my insurance company to know my intensions because they may cop out. I'm hoping the doc wont even ask, but if he does I think I should just tell him that I simply generally want to be in better shape. Agree, disagree?...Ideas, suggestions?

  7. Need I say more.....? In regards to being more prone to infection, you should just be careful who you sleep with; that should be top priority anyway. I don't believe anybody is in any more danger sleeping with uncut men. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  8. Could a cold boot have anything to do with this? (please tell me yes) My word processor was acting up last night (nothing unusual) and so I did a cold boot. I had ONE VERY CONFIDENTIAL FILE on here and now I'm freaking out Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  9. I just tried everything you guys mentioned; it seems that there is no profile on my comp anywhere. This blows Thanks for your time and input though Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  10. Ok, I wake up this morning, turn on the comp as usual; I go to check my mail, and to my surprise my account is wiped clean! No e-mail's in my inbox, no contacts in my address book...the account didn't even exist, I have to set it up again I also noticed my internet connection was acting funky, not wanting to connect, even though all the lights were green as normal. Obviously I can't get back the lost info. But any idea why this happened? I hope it's not a hack....

  11. May 12, 2007, Chcagoland Skydiving Center (Hinckley, IL)-tandem. I was hooked that day. Now can't wait to start AFF next season (money's hard right now) The DZ is my home away from home
  12. Thats the coolest flash movie I've seen yet.........pretty cool.n Hardcore though; takes a lot of skill Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  13. In the 7 years I've owned a car I got pulled over maybe 20-25 times....out of all those times i got a ticket ONCE. Honestly though, there is no trick to it, I'm just brutally honest when i get caught speeding. Haven't been stopped in over 2 years though.......odd Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of

    May I recommend Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or American Beauty perhaps?.... Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  15. I don't want to force anybody to do anything....I'm just being nice and waiting a bit to see who gets back to me; if there's enough of us it's cheaper and I feel I'm giving them a break by saving everyone a little cash, but really I should just fax this in.

  16. I suppose some people only like to talk the talk and forget the walking part. This is my 2nd tandem totaling $500+ over the 2 jump....am I bitching? no... Obviously I'll be a lot happier when I pay 20 bucks to get on the plane and have my own gear......but I learn something even on these tandems......and thats great in my mind. edited for typos Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  17. Organizing a group of tandems to jump next weekend........and THIS IS SUCH A PAIN IN MY ASS! Whats so damn hard about "call me with your info so I can put it on the registration sheet and fax it in" ???.... Fucktards Well, at least hopefully some of them will turn into AFF students Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of

  21. That is VERY PROFOUND; a quote that I will never forget, and one that I will certainly live by when I have kids Wow, words can be so powerful... Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  22. Oh, I'm more than glad brother...I'm greatful. I knew it wasn't gonna be easy, but damn man, its hell. It be 1 thing if I wasn't trying, but as it stands I'm doing anything I can while still keeping to fair business practices. I really wish I would have listened to all the talks I got about finishing school..............a day late and a dollar short Maybe you're right though, maybe I should start selling cars. Although I have a lot to learn; I don't know much about cars. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
  23. I haven't had that experience, but certainly see it happening. If things continue to go this way I'd love to do something else, the question is what? Because of a minor disability I can't do much physical labor. I'm not about to lie and cheat people, no matter what. If anyone needs me, I'll be at the nearest bar...

  24. I'm trying to imagine how it is in other cities in terms of the insurance industry. Here in Chicago, I swear, there's am insurance office on every corner, and no, I'm not kidding. Hell, just between my house and my office a whopping 1.4 miles) there are 4-5 other insurance agencies-1 of them brand spanking new. It is very difficult, if not impossible to make a career here when you're a newbie in the business. I realize it takes time and am not giving up yet, but my company doesn't care; all they want is results at the end of the month. To a certain extent, I understand, after all, business is business. At the same time, I'm busting my ass, doing all and anything I can to make an honest living with no results thus far I honestly don't get it, anybody I know tells me I'm a "natural" at talking with people. While that is news to me, I do genuinely enjoy being around people-helping is just a nice perk. I'm just trying to get an idea of how it is in other cities. If the market is not over saturated with as many offices as McDonald s or Burger king I'm moving.....It doesn't matter how far. I've thought about going back to school to finish my criminology degree, but think am simply to old to be going back to school. I need money to live-now. I have never been more stressed and scared in my life. Stress I can handle; fear of being a failure, despite all efforts, and thus ending up on the street is not my idea of a good time. Ok, I'm done bitching now....sorry. Dialogue/commentary between Divot, Twardo & myself - "from your first Oshkosh when the three of us were riding to or from one of
