    have worked out EVERY SINGLE DAY since I joined the gym. -Not always in the gym due to my 'challenging' children, but I have always worked out at least once a day.

    Even if it was at midnight...:S:P



    Working out every day actually does more harm than good; the body builds muscle by first tearing that muscle, then rebuilding. If you're constanyly working out all you're doing is wearing down your body and not building muscle. Take it easy; 3-4 days a week is enough for starters.


    I didn't say I was working on muscle mass daily...some of those days are treadmill work. ;)


    Oh sure....shoot my attempt at trying to at least appear smart down why don't ya....

    J/K lol :D

    Yeah, that's me too... I've had to learn how to do a fair amount of stuff right-handed... computer mouse, shooting, golf, pilot chutes... ;)



    cant you have your container rigged so that the PC is on the left? Although my hands aren't affected by the CP (Cerebral Palsy) I just don't trustmy hand having to reach all the way to my lower back. Our rigger and another jumper told me that I could have a rig rigged in such a way that it'll be a spring-loaded PC, and I could pull at the shoulder. Perfect solution for when I start jumping on my own.

    I think you're thinking of a trackball... which can be very handy when you have limited space.



    You're right, that is a trackball; and maybe it is handy. BUT...I'm left-handed, and as we all know, this world is anti lefties :o Using a trackball is hellish for me. I have learned to use a regular mouse with my right hand though B|

    During this particular bomb drill, I happened to be talking to my friend. Suddenly this nun grabbed the back of my hair and pulled like hell. She said "Mr. Muenkel, you do not speak during a bomb drill"! My response to her was; "Sister, if a bomb drops on the school, you're going to hear it whether I am talking or not". Needless to say, I was in deep shit after that.



    Thats funny as hell! I love your response LMAO! :D

  8. Although my memory used to be much better, it's still very good; most things I can visualize and quite literely take myself back to-like my first plane ride from Poland to the United States when was 4. I remember many things from my childhood. Wow, that's actually really cool. I'm pretty good at recalling events and whatnot, however am terrble with names (at first) once someone repeats 2, maybe 3 times I remember with no problem. Things that I don't "see" I can recall having happened and some details in regards to that particular expierence. Like everyone else's memory, mine opperates best off of cues.

    You should read a book, The Mind's Eye is the tittle I believe

    Screw Spellcheck. How about reading the stuff you type ?:S


    Yea....good point. 9 of 10 times I would, except for the fact that last night I was so tired all I could think about was counting sheep.

    Wow...last week I get called a fucktard by Walt, amongst others, and this week I get nailed by the grammar police. I feel so special

    It looks way overexasterated, (the other ones didn't seem to be as much but I'm a die hard Die Hard fan, and going to see it. I'm also a little iffy, maybe evan dissapointed that it's rated PG-13. The other ones were all successful, none of which were rated PG-13...but maybe it'll be good

    Somebody tell a joke or something before I go nuts!:S



    This guy in the military is given a highly classified, top-priority mission to deliver a message behind enemy lines; the General tells him "you are to do a parachute jump. once you land there will be a bike under a tree 10 miles from the main trail

    OK, so he exits the plane....pulls, and the main doesn't open; "damn. So he pulls the reserve handle....that doesn't open either...."oh shit, now if the bike isn't by that tree, I'm really fucked"

  14. Thanks for all the help guys, really appreciate your input. Here is what I got so far: it's not leaking gas (initially I thought it was) but I don't smell anything. The air filter was replaced not too long ago (if my memory serves me correctly) and so thats out. So that leaves a couple of things to check; it could be the computer or some sensor. This has only been an issue since the last fill-up, so I don't know how far I'm getting on 1 tank, I will be monitoring that though. It also could be the gas gaudge itself, which from what I understand is pretty expensive to fix...? A lot of you said take to a dealer and have it checked, and than fix it myself...do they check it free of charge?? That would be really cool. I can also take it to my mechanic, who has yet to screw me over in 3 years. I'll know soon enough what the deal is I suppose.

    Damn.... with trying to save up for tunnel time, AFF, and later on gear, the last thing I want to be doing is putting money into my car [:/] Unfortunately, it's 60 miles to the DZ-not like I could hop on a bus:|

  15. OK, I realize I drive a piece of shit, in that it isn't all that visually appealing, but up until now it hasn't caused me any trouble and therefore, mechanically it has been very dependible. It's a 94 Mercury Tracer, with 67,000 miles on it (when I bought it from an elderly lady who only drove it to the drug and grocery store it had 58,000); it has a 1.9 liter engine. Again, up until now I haven't had any problems, but lately it hasn't been burning gas, it GAUZELS gas! I can lieterally see the needle going down as I'm driving. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how much it would cost to fix?? There is no way on God's green earth it should be consuming this much gas. I had the fuel injectors cleanded, and so thats not it. Maybe I just need a new car?...:S....B|....:|

    one limitiation i've seen, which is probably true for any unit, is they only update the software periodically, if you are going somewhere new it won't know the location, when you get there the map looks like you are "off roading", the cool thing is when you get back near any road that is in the database it will give directions

    also i'm still not sure if it takes the shortest route or the best route, road type, etc.



    The Newer GPS units take you to 99% of places with no problem and are updated more and more. As for the route selection, Magellan is the only company that I know of that lets you customize your route (pictures attached). Another nice thing about Magellan is it has all the streets on the map labeled, not just the once you're to turn on along you're route; this is a great feature if you like to know exactly where you are at all times. Garmin has a bit of a better routing engine, but am I really going to get pissy about an extra 3-5 minutes?:S.......no.

    any problems with light in the bedroom? Maybe tape all the windows up, cover up the clock display, turn off all the lights... etc

    Or hell, a good old slug of whiskey is good... :ph34r:



    It's funny you mention that, as ANY source or light annoys the living HELL out of me. Anything, the light under my desk from the modem, the light from my cabel box, the one from he monitor when it's in sleep mode and god forbid the street lights from the window. I threw away my alarm clock because, yeah.......you guessed it......the lights. I have to have a room pitch black.

  19. I don't know if it's exactly insomna, but it sure as hell feels like it; I've had problems sleeping for years, any one know what I can do to develop better/healthier sleeping habits? Every night I can't lay down till I'm so wiped out I could hardly see straight and am almost too unconscious to walk to the bathroom to wash up. Than there are the nights where I'd come home from the gym beat from working out for hours, yet I can't fall asleep :S.... Is thier anything I could along the naural route? I'm really not fond of the idea of taking pills.

    (Edited to add:) "are we there yet?" :ph34r:

    I have NEVER been lost in any city i have ever been in anywhere in the world. I know how to read maps and I'm not at all affraid to ask for directions should a map be unavailable
    :P.


    Ok, I'm left with one conclusion......I could call it lazyness, but my scapegoat is convenience :P

    Actually a dogs mouth is cleaner then a human...;)



    I've heard that, but as far as I know, most people don't lick their asses and most guys don't lick their balls. We probably would if we could, but most of us can't.

    Walt


    A Dogs mouth also naturally produces penacilen, which is why its mouth is cleaner than that of any person.


    I don't know of any dogs that have mold growing in their mouths, sorry.


    I very well could have wrong information; I'm not beyond error. However, I've heard this over and over from multiple sources throughout the years. I do know from personal experience that cuts heal faster if licked by a dog. therefore they must have something that's anti-bacterial producing in thier mouths.
