Welcome to the forums :D

Yeah, I'd love to know exactly what you did to screw yourself out millionaire status and 10 girlfriends in 5 minutes :blink:

I noticed the first dandelions of the year today. Makes me mad. What an ugly flower.

So is like, gas cheap for you to make so many casual flights? :lol: We dont really need to worry about gas prices too much. We pay a fixed price ($120/h) for the plane and it comes fully fueled. But like, if we decide to fly to key west, which is 2 hours and 45 minutes there and another 2 hours 45 minutes back, we need to refuel there, in which case we pay like $5/g I read that as 5 dollars per gram (the abbreviation for gallon is gal), which would have worked out to a bit over $15k per gallon of jet fuel :P

Your frined should read today's cracked article, though alright wasn't part of it. 7 Commonly Corrected Grammar Errors (That Aren't Mistakes) Also, your friend should look at a dictionary sometime

Ha, an upside down spiderman eh? The real trick is landing your jumps without kissing the wall. I don't think I have ever seen anyone go upside down though. The one that seems to get a lot of people is that in gyms, to get down you need to pretend that whatever wall your climbing is now the floor, and walk down backwards. A lot of people have trouble with the leaning back and instead form a sort of L shape, which is a really bad position to be in. The worst example I've seen was on what I think was only like a 50 degree slope at most (outside, on moderately wet rock since it had been raining recently). One kid was leaning so far forward on the decent that he was on his toes, and then he finally slipped and slid at least 10 feet down the rock before he was stopped. And the worst one for me was a summer camp I was a junior councilor for, where we took the campers climbing on one of the university walls. I got this chubby girl, and she lost her grip when she was maybe 5 feet up. Me not being all that heavy (in retrospect she probably weighed maybe 10 lbs less than I did) had the foresight to put my foot in the floor loop that's there for exactly this reason. When she fell I was immediately pulled forward, and if not for the floor strap the girl probably would have hit the ground before I could stop. Instead I ended up leaning forward being partially supported by the belaying rope myself, on my tiptoes. Managed to pull myself back into a standing position though.

I don't think I could do skydiving. I have a fear of falling, and I don't think a parachute would do a lot to help that. I'll stick to my zip lines, rock climbing and repelling -.- Even repelling off a 40-foot tower was terrifying for me. As for falling, I've hit my head multiple times falling so I don't want to raise that counter any more. I've never had the chance to repel down anything quite that tall unfortunately, which makes it harder to know how I would react to it. My normal spot is fun though because you start at the side, and not the top, so you have to jump out and swing over to it (without doing a face plant). Can only get in a few hops though. Mostly I just stick to bouldering because I prefer the challenge to the climb, and I lack any of the training or equipment for a proper rock climb. My University also has a rock climbing gym, and a second wall (which is where I get in any repelling).

I do that last bit and it never occurred to me that it might bother someone. Wouldn't you rather them throw it in your bin than on your lawn? Yes, except people don't through their shit in my garden for the other 6 days of the week. They only seem to offload their stuff into my bins because they are there, and if they aren't, they are more than happy to hold onto it for a bit longer. That, or everyone only drinks coffee on Monday. On a related note, I always put bags inside the cans. In our kitchen we have this little tiny garbage can, and when it gets full the bags get tied and thrown in a bin outside. The bags can't actually fit around the rims, so if you just drop the bags in there, they go down beside the main bag. So every two weeks I have to move them all into the main bag. It's not so bad though. People tie up the bags pretty well so its safe to just reach in and grab them without worrying about what I am going to touch.

I don't think I could do skydiving. I have a fear of falling, and I don't think a parachute would do a lot to help that. I'll stick to my zip lines, rock climbing and repelling -.-

I decided to regress into childhood for a while and watched a few Peanuts episodes today. I even managed to find a couple of the ones I used to have (well, they are packed away now someplace), including my old favorite (you're a good sport charlie brown). I'll probably end up watching a few more before I go to bed. And now I miss my giant stuffed snoopy (and little stuffed snoopy) :| I also need to look into getting a stuffed Dogbert and Catbert sometime to go with my Snoopy.

I was all awesome, 300 spins, and then I get to the bottom. I read "Because you've been a long term loyal player who has been engaged in every area of the game, we have decided to punish you but not giving you anything." It's like their trying to chase me away now. I think that update can be summed up with that middle finger ASCII image that floats around on the RSOF every so often. I think we need a new warning on the RuneScape home page" WARNING: You have entered a logic free zone. People found to be thinking in a reasonable or logical manner will be escorted off the premises by security.

Kudos for putting up with that. And yeah, that's like the gay friend level. Grats :thumbsup:

I can't sleep tonight, even though I'm tired :(

Its also possible that I'm just being crazy. You can wear shorts if you want from late June through September if you want to without being cold, unless its raining. I normally keep wearing jeans, at least in the morning until it warms up or I start being more active, till sometime in July, because the weather in July sucks (it actually rained for most of that month a couple years back). I've actually worn shorts a few times this year already because we have had some freak warm days. But yeah, its mostly the wind and the mosquitoes, depending on where you are.

Welcome to Nova Scotia along the coast <_< August is shorts weather the whole time, but July normally isn't quite there. Coupled with the 24/7 ocean breeze out at my parents, and its not that warm a lot of the time. Different if I'm in the city. City is shorts Late June through Early September no questions asked (its warmer, and less windy unless your right down at the harbour). Heck, the first year I did beach lifeguarding I wore the full windsuit almost every day because of the freaking wind making me all cold (and I'm not weird, the other life guard did the same). One day the wind actually stopped, and a huge swarm of mosquitoes came out of the long grass and tried to eat everyone alive until the wind came back (which should also give you an idea of what kind of wind we get all day every day out there, and its great for windsurfing as well).

Welcome to the forums :) I've moved this to the area for updates and corrections for quests.

Those untreated jeans (or whatever you call them) actually do look pretty nice, though I think I'll pass. They don't sound like they can take as much abuse as regular jeans, which means I wouldn't be able to wear them in the summer where my cheif activities of biking, climbing, swimming, and seadoo riding are going to get them dirty/soaked. I also have to laugh at the outlines on the pocket from your cell and wallet :lol: And bonez, I can sympathize with the just throwing clothes on. I probably wear a random pair of jeans 330 days a year (summer really isn't that warm here except for one month, and if your right along the coast its plenty breezy). I have two pairs of sneakers which are my footware for most of spring through fall, and for tops I normally go with a tank top and maybe a sweater, or a t-shirt. The only time I put much thought into it (aside from when I am actually buying the clothes in the first place) is when I am doing something where something more formal is expected (mostly family get togethers or work).

More Bass :thumbsup: But seriously, I don't know much if anything about headphones. I have a pair of bose earbuds, and I am more than satisfied with them. When I am home I normally use my stereo anyway, unless I need better directional sound for a game.

I agree. I've been drunk enough to do stupid things before (not that hard to get there), and honestly, I was still generally quite aware that I was being a moron, I just didn't care as much. There are also certain things I make a deal with myself not to do (like drive a car for the rest of the night or buy things that aren't related to drinking) and then I go ahead and DON'T DO THEM. The drunker you get, the harder it is to hold on to your self control and the dumber stuff your going to do, so you have to look at the situation, decide how stupid you want to be, and then achieve the appropriate level of drunkness. You go into it knowing that your going to be drunk enough to do x, and that your going to have to take responsibility for it later. And I just made that sound like a lot of work when it really isn't :lol: But yeah, the whole using being drunk as an excuse would make me a lot more tempted to report them then if they just admitted they made a mistake and apogised. Not sure I could forgive the computer thing though. My computers are pretty much sacred to me. You don't even touch them without my say so.

... Wow, that's a thing I really said :wall: What I was actually thinking was "and I did already know you're a guy"

Champion, you're an excellent example of a case where the difference between you and your avatar really throws me (and I did already know you weren't a guy). Albel's new one is the same way. I know he's not james bond, but my mind wants to think that he is.

Like you don't understand how to use them? That would be a fairly simple problem to fix if you know anyone with a geared bike. Just hop on it and ride around for a couple minutes and try different gears. You'll figure out what they do pretty quickly. You don't really need anymore understanding of them than that. Unless your using a BMX, or your a hipster, there is really no reason to limit yourself to one gear.

Out of curiosity, in what way do gears give you trouble. I don't think any of the modern designs leave any room to mess them up (my old 15 speed could de chain itself with the front derailer, but they don't build them like that anymore), as long as you don't try to shift under high tension.

Your being nicer about it than I would. Especially about the computer. No one touches my computer, or tries to access it on pain of death. People always do stupid things on other peoples computers (because they don't have to deal with the consequences), and I will not have the work I put into keeping it running in perfect order put into jeopardy.

Now that's a once in a lifetime shot. Nice that they got a win out of it.
