  1. I was a devout and practicing Catholic. I NEVER missed Ma'ss. I was on our City Council when my priest was arrested for molesting a 12 year old in another City, in another State. My Police Chief called me to say that Father X was caught in the act, and the Bishops from each diocese had agreed that he would be banned from an appointment where 'families were involved after lengthy institutionalization and rehab.I I was asked to keep the whole thing hush, hush. I thought (naively) that this would happen. Low and behold 16 months later Father X is back in a parish, serving families, training altar boys. They came to our Church to ask for donations for our poor priests the same weekend that the newspaper said that our diocese was 'outing' the disgraced priests of our area. Of course the list included only priests who were dead, or in a comatose state with alzheimers. Father X's name was not on the list. I am no longer a devout practicing Catholic. skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]

  6. It is illegal in most states to inform fellow employees if someone is HIV positive, or has AID's so why shouldn't all medical stay private? I'm pretty sure that you are completely right. The new right to privacy laws even prevent colleges from telling parents their childrens grades. Even if they are paying for the education. Heck, they can't even tell them if their kids are still ENROLLED! This is definitely right to privacy violation! skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]
  7. I love it when the spider sack opens and all of the baby spiders catch a ride on a slight breeze. Millions of spiders in the air going who knows where? It is the coolest sight! I've only witnessed it a couple of times, but I remember once particularly well. I must have been about 10, and the spders fell out of the oak tree in the back yard and just blew through the neighborhood. COOL! skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]

    Kicked out?

    In Wisconsin it is a pre requistite that you are drunk when entering the bar, and drunker when you leave. You may leave your snowmobile in the drive, on the sidewalk or being attended by your 7 year old kid, who may or may not be in the bar, but if he is in the bar, he may work behind the bar waiting on and serving customers. You were way too tame for a Wisconsin bar skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]
  9. I don't know how to make a site 'clicky' but the official site of the USGS is a good place to go for information about earthquakes. They have listed this as a 7.0 after review from seismologists. It says that the quake was on the New Zealand South Island. There is also a place that you can go on this site to add your experience with the quake. They gather information for future review. So far only 260 people have commented on it. skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]
  10. Politely contact the manufacturer and explain the problem. They are likely to ask you to return the suit for mods. No big deal. skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]
  11. get some fungicide and spray it and the soil lightly. Keep feeding it coffee, but hold the latte's. It'll do fine! skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]
  12. I'm thinking Gay bar on one side and nudey bar on the other. There need to be some pretty obvious graphics on the signs, since actual picture will be banned.. skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]

  14. hey would you do us a favor and write up all of the pertinent information for the incidents forum and give it to someone at your dz? You know, number of jumps, container, reserve, altitude of deployment. Things that the dzo will have to have to know to fill out that report quickly. I really appreciate it when people do that for me. Oh, and hey! Have a great time! skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]
  15. I'm so sorry to hear about your boy. He was a lucky one to have you in his life. We never know how lucky we are when they chose to love us over all the other humans in the world. skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]

  17. LOL. When we hit the Goodwill to find clothes for the Polyester Party, I dare ya to say that. Hey Bolas! Looking forward to seeing you there! The CouchFreaks are VERY ORGANIZED!

  19. We were at the EAA in Oshkosh this last month and Dean saw the pic you mentioned in the book. He turned to me and said "I gotta find him and get his autograph on this picture" I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Beth skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]
  20. Gosh, you guys are making me blush. Thanks for the good memories of the WFFC. Since I was the "staff" for the planning stage each year, I thank you for your kind comments. During the actual event we had 150 employees and 300 volunteers. During the year long planning there were 2 of us who worked part time, on a volunteer basis. Many of the employees and volunteers were skydivers who spent LOTS of time and effort to make sure that it was a huge success. Yes, it took LOTS of cash. If we had about 20 decent backers we could do it again. If we had about 50 indecent backers it could be alot of fun! Couch Freaks is coming up, and as far as I am concerned it is the closest thing to WFFC out there! I'm going, I hope to see alot of you there! edited to add: There is a Facebook page that some very nice person (not me) started. It's called World Free Fall Convention friends. Check it out, add your pics and comments. Who knows, if Don Kirlin sees it and gets all mushy, he may just send me the credit card and we can get busy planning again! skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected]
