    Windy! I live near the top of a rather tall building on a hill. (no, I will not allow BASE from my apartment!) Weather has been really nice. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

    I saw him at the DZ a couple of weeks ago. He's around. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  3. F*ing brilliant, Shrop, thanks! I actually did have a lovely meal aboard United (first class) just now, but I read this post while waiting for my flight to Munich. You're scaring me! (of course, I'm not getting to fly 1st class on THAT flight!) However, I did hear that Lufthansa is rather nice. I'll let you all know how it went in a few days!

  5. Okay, THAT is funny! See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

  7. Okay, gear bags can't be that difficult to mail. Add a couple of those to the "need not be present" raffle! See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  8. No no...convince them to get club! Some of us actually have boobs! They do offer a women's cut! I'd be in for one of those. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

    Which car?

    Honda CR-V will tote all those things and more, gets great gas milage, and runs forever. Look for something in the 2000-2002 model year bracket. You can get a very nice one for less than your budget. 4-cy, all wheel drive. Downsides: rear seats fold down, but not flush with the cargo area. However, foam mattresses as mentioned above can offset that. other downside: you can pretty much see inside the whole thing from outside the car. If you tint the windows and/or install the curtains as suggested in another post, that will help out. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  10. You may think you're relaxing, but perhaps not actually doing it. Try these two techniques when you feel like you're stiff in freefall (they work for me every time): 1 - take a deep breath and force it out 2 - smile! (the second one was taught to me by one of my tunnel coaches. you can't smile & NOT be relaxed in freefall!)
  11. funny how they kept that footage with the guy flipping him off when he was recovered! See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!

  13. Great video (as always) although I started to get dizzy around the 5-min mark! Totally digging the soundtrack. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  14. I was just there about a month ago. You can still do a boat tour of the bay, which includes a ride around Alcatraz. You may not get on the island, but you can still get up close. Right between Pier 39 and Fisherman's Wharf you'll find the little ticket building. If you have the time, I recommend the slower boat, so you can have a nice view of all the sights. I think they have whale watching tours there, too, which will probably take you out under the Golden Gate. Should be that info available on those web sites you're checking out. I also agree with going across the GG Bridge. Consider checking out the Presidio on the south side, cross the bridge, then check out the sides on the north side. The view of the city from the far side is quite nice! Another option is to go to Treasure Island, attached to Yerba Buena on the Bay Bridge. You don't have to pay the toll when you come back into the city if you don't go all the way across. Again, there's a nice view of the city from Treasure Island, you'll deal with less traffic, and there are a couple of great places to take pictures of yourselves with beautiful backgrounds.

  15. Happy Birthday, V! Have fun this weekend.
  16. His name was Pop n Fresh. Get it right! See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  17. Yes, both (attended and hosted). I have a few products that I absolutely love, such as my wine opener and a microwave rice cooker. I also like the cookbooks. The biggest problem with selling this company is that once everyone has the stuff they like/want, you lose your customers. There are only so many kitchen/cooking gadgets you want to buy, and the consumable line won't bring in the kind of sales as the main products. In other words, your repeat customer base diminishes over time. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  18. just today and tomorrow left. You're still in 3rd place, but those guys have more than 3k votes. Valiant effort!
  19. +1 Just ran my most recent triathlon last week. Haven't reached my fitness goals totally, but I feel really good with how far I've come since this time last year. Besides having a friend (or more) to keep me on track, I tried something new this year. I made a schedule that had SOME type of workout every day. I incorporated group activities, such as a local running club and various fitness classes at the gym. I wrote this schedule in dry erase and posted it in the kitchen, and adjusted it as schedules/weather/activities changed. I did not stick to it religiously, but was pretty good about putting my training as a priority. I didn't chastise myself for days I took off. I just moved on to the next day's activity the next day. Good luck & HAVE FUN! See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  20. Only a few days left! There is still hope. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  21. That's a rather one-sided report. She just said he deserved it. What the hell did she claim he did to "deserve" that? Either it was VERY bad, or she really is crazy. Or a bit of both! We need a good old "rest of the story." See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  22. another day, another vote! See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
  23. I'm currently on the $20 rate, so mine will only go up to $24. This doesn't seem like a big deal to me. However, I rarely use the "instant" watch, so I'll probably cancel that part and end up paying less. See the upside, and always wear your parachute! -- Christopher Titus Shut Up & Jump!
