Anyone here heard of / use GCI Financial or similar software to do their own forex/commodity trading? I've been working on a demo account and by being conservative having consistently good daily profits. I know of the risks involved, but the potential rewards are making me seriously think of opening a live account & trying to earn some extra jump money. Any help/thoughts will be appreciated

Happy birthday

I run XP on my laptop & one desktop and Vista Business 32bit on my latest desktop - no problems with Vista so far (6 months)... It takes a bit of getting used to, but once you manage to shut off all the irritating warnings it's a breeze, especially when setting up a network. All IMO, of course A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

Glad you've had such good results! Ain't it fun when you can actually see you're toes in detail whilst having shower!? Have fun & be safe

That is exactly why I'd consider PRK but not LASIK. That flap is scary, especially because I do karate, where getting hit in the face is a very real possibility. Point taken, I shouldn't advocate being rash. I spoke to my surgeon before I started jumping and his main concerns were: 1. Is there any 'real' airflow directly across the eyeball whilst in freefall? answer - no, but there is the possibilty should the goggles don't seat well or move during the dive. 2. Is there considerable shock involved, eg. during opening? answer - At the time I was jumping a canopy that consistently had my CI questioning my opening altitude. My openings lasted 800+ foot... So - no big shocks. As for getting hit in the head, I had a serious motor vehicle accident 2 years after my surgery, hooked myself in (hard enough to fracture 2 vertebrae) 4 years after the surgery &, luckily, my eyes are still fine. IMHO jumping with normal eye protection after lasik shouldn't be a big risk, but then I might've just been lucky up till now C'est la vie... A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

[replyHere's wearing goggles under a fullface for the next 2-3 months. Woohoo! Wish me luck! Why? I had lasik in 1996, was jumping with a frap hat & goggles 5 days later. 12 years later & I've noticed no ill effects yet

Happy b-day!

Excellent checkmate!!!!!! A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

I'll do you one better, unscrew one bulb or pull one out slightly (if it's the kind of line where one unconnected bulb causes the whole line to go unlit) and laugh when the neighbor goes out to physically check each bulb on the line. Drives them insane. ..ahh But the fun lasts so much longer if you unscrew 2 A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

I had to go back and read it - WTF? Don't they know lubrication prevents "parts rubbing together"? The doc visiting the patient in her hotel room kinda makes you think though, doesn't it A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

Holy smoke! That link would actually do quite well in your "meaty" thread A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

I don't believe you. We need proof . . STAT! This thread has gone on WAY to long for that comment to slip by. Damn right! A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

Ehrm... Maybe you could send it to one of the ladies to validate A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

What is a first???? g The zit inside my right ear. That wasn't clear in my post? Blues, Dave Don't tell us you didn't realize you said the F word A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

Firstly you need to clarify - - If she says no, she means maybe - If she says maybe, she means yes - If she yes, she's not a lady Secondly - you can only counsel these 'ladies' if you post proof of your lightning bolt hairdo A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

Now that's a "No shit, Sherlock" statement if ever I heard one A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125

As the other replies have stated - the curved pin will still do it's job. If you stow the top part of the bridle to the top & right of the closing loop (under the right hand flap) as the manual states, the attachment to the bridle will be above the pin. QED - problem solved A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125
