Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics: 29 have been accused of spousal abuse 7 have been arrested for fraud 19 have been accused of writing bad checks 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses 3 have done time for assault 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges 8 have been arrested for shoplifting 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year Can you guess which organization this is?................Give up yet? I thought it was the NBA. It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

How long does it take you to feel comfortable/secure in a relationship?

brown bags? peach? hurricanes? I wish I had money to just throw away

1. I have no kids, unless you count my 11 week old puppy. 2. I feed them in a seperate box so that when I reach into their cage where they live they don't mistake my hand for a mouse and bite me...I have never been bitten. 3. If I had kids I would let them play with my snakes, under supervision of course.

do you think they're just cruising around the house?
-
I don't feed them dead mice or rats but they're not exactly alive either, more like twitching comatose...this is going to piss some of you rat lovers off but its either the rat dies or my snake dies. I hold the rat by it's tail and then whip it around and slam its head against the edge of a table. It's completely stunned but still alive, I then throw him in a cardboard box with my snake. I feed them in a seperate box then where they live so they don't associate they're cage with food.

I have 3 snakes currently, the one you saw is 6 years old and I've had him from birth. I've owned snakes for 10 years and have fed them live mice and rats the entire time and have never had a problem.

My buddy Lewis taking care of a rat

a W9 and a W13 seem like they should be alot farther apart in sizing then it sounds like they are ....i'm confused.

I think this is the system that would have saved Carls job in Caddyshack. It sounds like an air-fuel bomb. Propane and oxygen mixed are better than the gas and air mix in your automobile carbuerator. I sure would like to see the ground jump about 3 inches. Maybe they'll have the school principal in one of those commercials for "cooking with gas". Apparently, squirrels aren't as cute as whales, so there is no outcry to save them. hahaha, that's less than a block from me. What are you doing reading my paper?

I was told to order a W8 for a triathlon 160 and PD143. I'm thinking it's going to be real tight now after hearing you guys.

clicky I am a dealer for these and sell them to bikers but now I'm thinking about trying a set out for skydiving instead of the goggles i'm using. They have foam linings so that wind doesn't get in your eyes. ...edited for clicky

Newbie with LOTS of Questions
uponone replied to Texas_Diver's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
1. http://www.dropzone.com/fatalities/2005/ 2. New: $3500-$5000ish Used: $1000-$3500ish 3. Worry about AFF 1st, you don't want to overload your head when jumping out of a plane. Baby steps. -
I have my own gear now, but I want something brand spanking new with all the features I want. Since this is my 1st year I don't know when is the right time to buy or sell.

"My life was hanging by a thread" ....was that the argument?
-
There are some really good deals this month and I have the money but will the prices get cheaper in the winter? I'm looking at a Wings container for only $1000, should I buy it now or will it be less next month?
-
Poor girl, yes it's a English Bull Terrier NOT a American Pit Bull Terrier. It's a shame that all dogs that slightly resemble pit bulls are so quickly put in the "aggressive" pit bull category. I've owned many, many American Pit Bulls and not a one of em is vicious and mean....how could you hate this?

I was drunk last week at a biker bar and my vision was a little off. A girl came up to me wearing a moo-moo shirt and tight pants which made her belly look quite round. She asked me for a cig and I felt like I was doing the right thing by saying "no you shouldn't be smokeing". Shortly after this a large biker dude walked up to me and asked if I called his wife fat, which in my drunken state I couldn't think of anything smart to say so I said "no I didn't call her fat I just though she was pregnant". God I'm stupid when I'm drunk. If it wasn't for my fast talking friends I would have gotten my ass beat.

The price of skydiving is cheap compared to the price of racing streetbikes...if that makes you feel any better.

So what are you going to do tomorrow?
uponone replied to Fab's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Same thing, different plane -
Buy and sell stuff on ebay for extra cash, that's what I do.

Aff level 3 ?'s help me relax!
uponone replied to lodinewbee6805's topic in Introductions and Greets
I can tell you relax but noone can make you do it. The key is to practice it in your head all the way up until you jump then when your in the door ready to jump don't think about anything, take a deep breath, and do what you know to do just don't think too much while your jumping. Oh and breathing and toe taps help me out tons. If you start tensing up take a deep breath, exhale, and do a toe tap. ....and don't worry about your girlfriend being better, girls naturally have a better arch. -
I have been riding dirtbikes since i was 3 and have been riding sportbikes for 8 years (12 if you count a ysr50 as a sportbike). I sell bikes as a living and have been completely surrounded by motorcycles my whole life. Don't take this negatively but here's my advice, if you bought an '05 r1 that weighs roughly 380 and makes 180hp and your asking how to wheelie it then you are going at this the wrong way. That's like getting a stilletto at a w/l of 2.1 and asking how to swoop. That question makes me feel that this is your 1st bike, if so may god be with you.

I love seeing pics like the 1st one. That feeling you get looking out of the plane right before you jump. I can see her taking in a deep breath and saying "oh shit" in her head. Priceless.
