  1. A money guarantee is no proof that anything works.
  2. Strangest thing I’ve read in a while. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/mar/08/european-clocks-lose-six-minutes-dispute-power-electricity-grid
  3. 55 million students, perhaps 25 students killed a year in rampage shootings. I think statistically a child is much safer at school than being at home. It would be hard to justify a billion dollars of security to save a single life. And as far as arming teachers; See how fast your average 9mm toting cop rushes in against a most likely suicidal nut, armed with a semi auto high velocity rifle with high capacity clips. Wow!!! As I write this, the news just stated an armed school security guard decided not to engage the shooter in Florida and has resigned. I’ve seen a couple of videos on you tube of a single cop going against a semi auto rifle, the cop is never on the offensive.
  4. Eins zwei drei vier eins zwei drei vier, eins zwei drei vier.
  5. If money is an issue and safety isn’t, Lodi may be just what you’re looking for.
  6. The constitution guarantees my RIGHT to watch anything violent or to play any violent games that I see fit. Today you may want to get rid of GTA, and then tomorrow you’re coming for my Monopoly or Candy Land. Well I say no! I will not give an inch. I’ll give up my Candy Land when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
  7. The Olympics have been going downhill ever since portrait painting was removed as an Olympic compitition. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/early-olympics-art-events-594437
  8. Isn’t it odd for a Fire Department to participate in a television commercial for a publically traded company? Especially in light of the massive amounts of lawsuits against PG&E due to the Northern California fires. https://youtu.be/PZ8JHGYjZts
  9. A proper military parade only works with some very well rehearsed goose stepping.
  10. I have no issues with the dogs she trains or the cost. I have issues when she claims a 48 hour sleep over for six or seven families is $20,000. my issue is also she has a huge horse ranch with a huge house with 10 of her own horses and it’s all Payed for by well intentioned donors.
  11. Actually, it’s over 2,000 volunteer hours. I don’t begrudge the volunteers, only my cousin. She has a beautiful horse ranch, is the head of her 501. I’m really curious about how much she is paid and how much her ranch is paid. She is an Olympic caliber equestrian and I have a feeling that this charity funds her riding. I would love to look at her tax returns. And I really paid no attention to her until a couple of years ago at a family X-mas party. I had a niece who was showing off her one month old baby to a couple of people, about this time my cousin comes through the door holding two puppies over head. She’s use to always being the center of attention with her dogs, and I could see in her eyes she was annoyed that no one payed attention as she walked in. She looks around and sees the people kind of fawning over the baby. She litterly walked between my niece and the fawners, and with out even acknowledging the baby, she says “Babies? Who wants to look at babies? I’ve got puppies everyone!” It was one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen, and I’ve hated her ever since.
  12. I have a relative who raises autism support dogs, she charges $17,000 a dog. Every summer she host autisistic children and their families for a weekend of camping on her ranch. She claims this is a much needed “respite” for the care giver. I’m under the impression that real respite care is when the caregiver makes arrangements for someone to fill in for the roll of caregiver temporarily. She usually has 6-7 families that attend. My relative claims on her web site that this cost about $20,000 and requires about 1,500 volunteer hours. Does this sound legit?
  13. So you plan on losing 50 lbs in less than a month? I saw that tried a couple of times. They both wound up in the hospital with multiple and varying types of hypos. You may want to re-think this part of your game plan. The only tried and true method of losing weight is less calories in than calories going out. 50 lbs in a month is extreme. As soon as you’re body discovers the intake has been cut off, your metabolism will slow way down. Find a big old jump suit from the eighties, that’s what I did, it slowed my fat ass right down.
  14. And you have experience in the mental health field?
  15. She’s a thousand times more qualified than Trump, but she is still not qualified.
  16. Was this an AFF jump or a coached jump? What level jump was it? It sounds like AFF1 or 2? (Cat A/B depending on your nomenclature)? It was his first AFF jump. I knew one of the AFFI’s, actually a good guy, the other was a fucking asshole who was new at the DZ. Asshole gave a pre jump “Safety briefing” and talked down to us like we were all idiots, it was the first time we had a sky van.
  17. I never said anything to the DZO, I did let the instructors know what happened.
  18. I’m just curious how disruptive (If at all) a sky surfer would be on your average load.
  19. Pakistan, perhaps the least stable of any nuclear armed country.
  20. And yet after every American security agency has confirmed Russian interference in our election, Trump and the GOP think it doesn’t warrent an investigation.
  21. What do you think of a couple of AFFI’s who never watched any aspect of their student under canopy ( they were too busy packing)They just loaded on the the transport bus and split back to the airport. I watched him come down and crash about 3,000 ft away from DZ and did not get up. I went out to help him and found him pretty banged up with a broken arm. The AFFI’s didn’t really seem to care. I managed to get him to an ER. And this was after one of them chewed our ass about how to exit a sky van, he was a straight up dick.
  22. So if pit bulls are no more dangerous than other breeds, and the press is biased, are you suggesting then that there are actually hundreds of people killed yearly?
