Hell yeah!! Those books were and are some of the best ever written. I gotta hope they do them justice with the movie/s Truman Sparks for President

3% cost of living. Sure wish they'd have taken these gas prices into account Truman Sparks for President

made it to 14, not bad considering I was trying to keep two cranky machines running here at work while I was playing Truman Sparks for President

Thanks everyone, I love it when I get advice that leans the same direction I've been thinking.

This comes from a man stuck at work at exactly 1:39am...THANK YOU!!! Truman Sparks for President

A guy I work with is getting ready to relocate and is starting to get desparate to sell his '01 883 Sportster. I'm not the biggest sportster fan but it's looking like I could get it for $4k and it's only got about 8200 miles on it.....sooooo, what should I do? Truman Sparks for President

The very first time I was to spot for myself, still on student, I was a little nervous, but feeling confident. Actually had the dzo playing jm for me so I figured I couldn't screw up too bad. I was right, too, didn't screw up, too bad. This is a little single cesna dz, and as we reach altitude I take over. Didn't take me two seconds to find the runway, i called for slight correction and waited for the perfect spot. While I was waiting the dzo tapped me on the shoulder and asked me where I was heading. When I pointed out the runway he laughed and asked me what the hell I thought that other strip of pavement we were flying over was. I was a bit embarassed but I still JUST made it back onto airport property. Turns out what I thought was the runway was actually a dead end road a mile or so further west. Oops Truman Sparks for President

ouch! Reminds me of high-schoole days. I played basketball and we were always playing jokes on each other. Friend of mine got me with some wonderful stuff called Kramer's Red Hot...kinda like Icy Hot without the Icy...all over the fresh, post-game drawers. Less than pleasant. That's ok though, paybacks were oh so sweet Truman Sparks for President

gotta go with the ever popular 8. It's definitely a job, but hey, at least I get to build things that kick some serious ass. Truman Sparks for President

How do you explain Skydiving to whuffo friends?
blewaway5 replied to GogglesnTeeth's topic in The Bonfire
I quit trying. I let them bring it up, and if they really want me to explain it I just tell them that it relaxes me in an exciting way and that it's one of the only places I've ever been where so many people from so many different walks of life do nothing but have fun! They want more than that then they can come check it out for themselves -
That's the same reaction I got, first time, that's wonderful, second time, why do you have to go again, you already did it once. Third, total freakout, saying how I was raised and kept alive for eighteen years and now I'm risking my life Well, I went the edumacation route, too. They accept it, hell, I'm their child. Now they even kinda brag about it to their friends Truman Sparks for President

I know it's been a long time since I've been even a little active on here so I apologize that my first thread in so long is asking this, but...........I believe thinking a good thought goes a long way and i just got a call from a very good friend. She told me that she's just found out that she has cancer, she's waiting for the results of some tests but it looks like the cancer has basically totally lined her intestines. I don't care if you post it or not but if you've taken the time to read this please send some seriously positive karma her way. Truman Sparks for President

94 Chevy silverado, 3/4 ton, 6.5L turbocharged diesel....about 17 mpg. I'm a gas hog I guess, but if connecticut ever needs towed away I can do it Truman Sparks for President

I think maybe true romance is reaching the the point where you know that life aint no fairy tale and there're gonna be moments you want to rip your SO's head off but you know that's an ok feeling cause you are loved no matter hopw many times you leave the seat up. Truman Sparks for President

Just wanted to throw out a quick "hi" to everyone. Been out for a long damn time and wow, things are different around here. Seems like the same great place though. I'd probably like it even more if I wasn't stuck here at work right now. Truman Sparks for President

Ya know, I really do want to do it all. I want to experience everything there is to experience. Forever, though? What happens after I've done everything? I'll take my chances with death, cram every experience I can in there and when I go I'm sure I'll regret having missed something. I will die knowing I tried everything I could, though.

Okay, this is gonna be a two part reply, so.... Part one. I can kinda sympathize. I've been playing the "I don't gove a shit" game for a long while now and I'm actually starting to want a real relationship. I don't know how to get that, and to be honest I'm not tryng too terribly hard, I figure if she's right I'll know it when she chases me down and beats me up side the head. Part two. This is much more shallow, and for all I know, much more true to life. My favorite bartender always tells me this when I bitch about women. brace yourself for wisdom, cause here it comes..."Don't sweat the petty shit, pet the sweaty shit." Take that how you will, and I hope it all works out. Truman Sparks for President

Haven't read it all yet, but damn, I'm starting to smell a lock so i thought I'd get in here.

Okay, I worked 13 hours today and I'm gonna have to do it again tomorrow, so this is my last post. I'm gonna use it to point out one very important fact. I've made more friends faster skydiving than doing anything else. If you go jump and hang out at the dz, you WILL have a ton of friends who'll want to jump with you. Well, unless you're a chronic asshole, which I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on. Bottom line, it's up to you what you do, but then, you already knew that, right. Take care, good luck, have fun whichever you do in the near future. Truman Sparks for President
-
I guess that could be a choice of some sort If it were me, I'd finish up and get my license and gear. Jumps get a lot cheaper and then maybe you get a dirt bike. Of course, that's just me.... Truman Sparks for President
-
Okay, not to point out the obvious (to me at least) but if you didn't buy the dirt bike that'd be worth a jump or two, I'd imagine. Student status is the hardest part of becoming a skydiver (wallet wise), you just have to get it done Truman Sparks for President
