  1. Just a reminder, email or PM me as to whether your DZ accepts skyride gift certs or now. ----- ~~~Michael
  2. Sign me up too and send the bill to Don if you would. ----- ~~~Michael

    USPA Visa

    Read this book: http://www.38mistakes.com/. Having a credit card is part of your whole credit picture. They want to see how you use credit wisely and such. If you have no credit other than your house and your car payment, you may have difficulty getting financing for that new TV you're looking at. For a while, it was all about the score, now they're going back and looking at the score and the things that they used to look at in the past (i.e. how have you done historically). Want to know what your score is? Check out myfico.com... ----- ~~~Michael
  7. At a long stretch, 3 is good. Most of the time, I'll get a little more than 2 at night, then get another 2 in the afternoon. ----- ~~~Michael

    Starbucks

    there wasn't one here either until recently. (I was their first customer @ 5:00 A.M. too... ) ----- ~~~Michael
  9. Young grasshopper...with experience comes knowledge...with knowledge, experience. There are some people on here who are very passionate about this subject. The trick for you now is to keep your eyes and ears open. They obviously are otherwise you wouldn't be here. There are allegations being made here as to what the business practices are. Most think they are unethical. By your responses, I don't think that you agree with them...yet. Your job from here on out is to just listen in at the DZ and see if you're in tune with what is really going on there. Call the skyride number yourself and play 'dumb'. Ask about jumping somewhere that skyride is not associated with and see their business tactics. Blindly defending something (as well as blindly attacking) are very dangerous things. We're not lemmings being led to the cliff, but we've chosen to educate ourselves on what is going on. What you do from here is your choice...chose wisely. ----- ~~~Michael
  10. I had a Nextel and just switched to TMobile. I had one small issue with my Nextel Blackberry 6510 that no one really seemed to want to address. Through basic process of elimination, it wasn't the phone and possibly wasn't the network. Narrowed it down to the software on the phone. Unfortunately, Nextel's response was to swap out the phone ($35 cost to me) or upgrade ($160 cost to me). Well, I had already done the phone swap twice so I did the upgrade. Phone worked great...except where I primarily use it. Nextel was great except when I had an oddball hardware problem. Then no one really cared. ----- ~~~Michael
  11. on that note...If you DZ does or does not accept skyride certs, send me an email or pm. I'll start creating a list. ----- ~~~Michael
  12. It's that place the dudes with the big cowboy hats come from that think they're invincible in their big SUV or 4x4 when it starts snowing so they drive faster. ----- ~~~Michael
  13. 4 1/2' fake tree this year. We're more focused on getting out of this god forsake state than Christmas right now. Besides, whatever gifts we buy eachother we'll have to move so we're tossing the money towards a place in the mountains...soon...I'll be home...soon... Sunny - do you want to know then the garage sale is? ----- ~~~Michael
  14. Anonymous vote I assume? Would anyone who is on the new board please make a motion to add to the bylaws that there are no 'anonymous' votes. ----- ~~~Michael
  15. Well, it is winter time pretty much now and he won't miss much if he does that... ----- ~~~Michael
  16. Only if they were group members. I don't forsee the NSA having an ethics meeting anytime in the near future... ----- ~~~Michael
  17. Contact YOUR USPA representative and tell them you want a code of ethics put on the agenda and adopted at the next meeting. B2 they also need to adopt a rule that says they won't have any 'secret' votes. I personally think it's funny that before they awarded the nationals at one point, it went into closed session and first passed a motion that the votes would be secret. Give me a break - have balls (ladies have whatever you want) or nothing at all and step away from USPA. ----- ~~~Michael
  18. Do you mean buy a slut? Actually 'I'm'... ----- ~~~Michael
  19. My job? My a slut. I'll do just about anything for money...I'm a consultant... ----- ~~~Michael
  20. I love skydivers, especially this time of year. The weather starts starts to turn to crap up north, the southern DZs come to life, and we all have time to bitch about more things than any other time. Let's try to get this back on topic to Skyride and drop bringing Chutingstar into this. (Mike, if you can substantiate your AFF claims, please do bring them forward, but start a new thread - This thread is on Skyride, not this topic). Unfortunately, due to your association, you're gonna get drug into this. ----- ~~~Michael
  21. Yes - 2. Business account is michael@ground-rush.com (linked to my store in the sig line) or michael@focusedapproach.com (the one I don't have to claim on taxes). ----- ~~~Michael
  22. $48 if anyone is interested. Not too worried about it though since it was a business expense. Tell you what, buy a necklace or two, sign an affidavite that you'll not use a domain for anything I or the rest of the skydiving world deems bad and I'll give it to you... ----- ~~~Michael
  23. Is this the new way that Google looks for things? Their ways have been a mystery of late and they are constantly changing them... ----- ~~~Michael
  24. Acquired: 1800skyteam.com 1800skyteam.net 1800skyteam.org 1800-skyteam.com 1800-skyteam.net 1800-skyteam.org Who wants em? ----- ~~~Michael

    I now refer you to the thread that states Eric knows everything... The video vendor and the WFFC could not agree to terms at an early enough date to allow the video vendor to make the needed preparations for a video for 2004. I am currently talking with a potential video vendor for 2005's convention though... ----- ~~~Michael
