  1. Congrats!!! Hope you have many years of happiness together
  2. Your boy is over 18 and the law is not on his side if he takes the kid up on his offer of a fight. Don't think that the other kids parents wouldn't pounce on your son if he came out on top in a fight. As mentioned before. Have your son call the police and make a report before this goes any further. He is a legal adult and this is the route he needs to take to protect himself and you from possible legal issues. Talk to the school... most schools have some police officer assigned to it... talk to them about the situation. Cover your ass. It's a crazy world out there. Better your son takes a hit in the reputation department than letting a situation escalate to tragic ends. It may sound like over reacting, but kids today have a very skewed idea of what is acceptable behavior and actions. Killing or permenately injuring someone isn't as appalling to kids of today as it was once upon a time. Hope this all works out and nothing happens to either of them... life is hard enough without this kind of shit.

    XM Radio

    May sound like an advertisement but.... I just bought the "Roady" for XM. I travel all the time and needed something that was truely mobile. The Roady was the smallest and you can get a combo power/fm modulator. I bought a little ac to dc converter so I can plug it into the wall and now when I'm on the road I can just plug it in to the car and at the hotel (I use a little fm stereo headset in the motel)... I had to order the damn remote so I can change the channel and surf without getting up. If I didn't travel so much I would have invested in the Delphi Skyfi reciever and optional componets. I was really interested in Sirius but XM has better choice of talk radio which I really like on long road trips, not to mention that XM music is now commercial free too. Both Sirius and XM are great, each has some things the other doesn't... go to the websites for both and compare the lineups and see who has more of what you want. Sirius has a nice offer of "Lifetime" subscription --- However that is for the lifetime of the RECIEVER you activate the account with. So if the equipment lasts for 20 years great... if it goes to crap in a year or 2... you are screwed. Damn... that was long little speil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"
  4. Yamaha YZ80 - age 10 My Favorite bike since then was a Honda CBR 600 F2. That thing rocked. I was on it the 1st time I ever went over 150 mph. Thinking of buying something? Have Fun! Bikes are as addictive as skydiving and a lot more dangerous. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

  6. I think it goes something like this... after being potty trained... the bathroom and your habits in it tend to be unknown to everyone but you. Years of bad habits through childhood, adolecence and so on tend to follow people to into the work enviroment. Have you noticed that the worst cases tend to be in the "private" bathrooms at work? At my work in the small bathrooms I have found: The toliet running because someone broke the handle - I fixed it and checked to see if anyone had reported it -no of course not Toliet paper strewn about like christmas decoration. Evidence of what could only be decribed as explosive diareha. Floaters - damn... flush till its gone people! Standing puddles of urine next to the toilet. The ever so common urine splattered seat. I don't get people. You think you work with professional adults and the bathrooms always look worse than a junior high toilet. Lazy? Stupid? Inbred? God only knows why people do the things they do. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"
  7. Sony DSC-V1 - it's been a great camera so far. Olympus puts out some really good stuff too as mentioned before. Something to consider is that you can buy at most stores and have a few weeks to try it and if you don't like it, take it back. Read as many reviews as you can and if you can, go to every store that has them and try them out in your hands 1st. Happy shopping!
  8. Jimbo, In a word... "Yes" I believe in taking responsibility for your actions and that includes following through on decisions. If someone has to die and I have any part in that decision, I have no problem of pulling the trigger and cleaning up the mess after. I wouldn't expect someone else to do the dirty work. If it was my choice, then it should be my soul that has to deal with the conciquences. When I was an EMT, I literally had people die in my arms and I wasn't the person responsible for the situation, so I don't think I would have a problem watching a person die that I thought deserved to. I'm not psycho either (no one has died yet ), but I don't talk shit that I don't intend to back up either. Most of my post was meant in jest (politicians and lawyers), but if you hurt my friends or family... you won't walk away from the situation ( You know... it's hard to write about saying people deserve to die without coming across as a real psycho , oh well) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"

  10. I think there are quite a few people that need killing. Drug dealers, rapist, gang members, wife beaters, child abusers, lawyers and politicians in general, and terrorist... just to name a few. Call it harsh, but there are too many people in the world and I could use the space. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"
  11. 45 degrees or a good 10 count Sorry couldn't resist... Seriously... that sucks. I think the above post has it right... you are about to be legally separated from all your shit. Get your ducks in a row and figure out if there is anything you will need to defend yourself against and all that other great bullshit. Good luck bro! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"
  12. Hell Yeah... Bring your rig You have a few choices of dropzones within good driving distance. If the weather is crap at one, theres's a good chance you can jump at another. I jump at Mile Hi, but I've heard good things about the other dropzones too... Lots of good people to jump with. Hope the weather is clear when you are here, you'll get some great views of the rockies at altitude
  13. hmm... might make a nice replacement for my current one ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"
  14. Big Vibes and Prayers to your Mom Even though it's scary, remember to smile and relax and think good thoughts. It's amazing what a difference a positive attitude makes. The docs were amazed at how quick my dad recovered after his quad bypass, but he was very calm and positive before the operation and after as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "You don't quit playing because you get old, you get old because you quit playing"
