    she wants a ring

    The marriage advice I got from my father in law when he gave me his daughters hand in front of everyone was; "GOOD LUCK! HAhahahah" I was also told: "you can be right or happy, it's your choice." I figure if I am really nice to the boss and daughter, I'll get a really nice retirement home when...

    Southwest Airlines…

    Sorry bud, I never even thought you meant that. Seeing the picture of the wheel chairs just triggered a neuron. And I do know what you mean about the folks who can't walk ON the aircraft but smiled and hurriedly walked OFF the plane at the other end when I stood and said.."Buh-Bye" (SNL skit).

    Southwest Airlines…

    I am on 'MIL Leave' from an airline job and I can't imagine going back now. I cringe and get upset when I think of the state of the industry and the poor customer service I see and hear about. 'Hampton' had a good post on another thread that gave some of the reasons for 'the fall' of what I...

    The truth about the dismal construction industry...

    You left out Duane Woerth and his half a mil salary and expense account while running ALPA as the profession disintegrated. I had to laugh when ALPA wanted to add 401 contributions to the percentages they used for dues.

    Sarah Palin's take on the Baucus Bill

    I got this email from someone. When I tried to submit my response I got an error message because too many people were adding their name to the petition. The website is real as far as I can tell. This only takes a few seconds and it sends a really good message, best of all "it's free". Hi -...

    Fox News isn't a news organization - Huh?

    "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." Thomas Jefferson I was at the National Tea Party September 12. There were a LOT of 'Don't Tread On Me' flags. Too many people see the Republicans and Democrats expanding...

    Cruise speed at night

    What about using some NVG's? I know they're not a cure for the dark but they help a good bit. The first time you use them, the sensations is almost like seeing colors for the first time... shades of green but you get the idea. Besides the safety issues, if you consider the investment most...

    Nobel Peace Prize? Give me a break...

    Take a look at this website. You'll see yaser arafat won it too...uh...Whu....?! Gore won it as well by flying all over the world on his private Gulfstream with outdated and in-efficient engines pushing an environmental agenda. http://nobelprizes.com/nobel/peace/peace.html

    my thoughts on binary code messages

    I went ahead and fixed Tonka's post for clarity: 01001000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01101101 01111001 00100000 01110100 01101000 01101111 01110101 01100111 01101000 01110100 01110011 00101110 00101110 00101110 00101110 00101110 00101110 00101110...

    Sea Ray salesman

    I don't know if marine sales are very different from cars, but this sounds exactly like what I experienced when buying my Subaru. I walked out of three dealerships before driving an hour and a half to get what I wanted at the price I wanted. I had the same type of issues, salespeople not...

    What type sea conditions can a 280DA handle?

    Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the informative responses. I stumbled upon the 280DA as a possible boat to fit my needs in the future and really enjoy this website. After seeing a 280 'Dancer in person (no sea trial yet) I am trying to gain as much information as possible. I fear I...

    What type sea conditions can a 280DA handle?

    This may be a crazy question but what type of conditions can I expect the 280 to safely handle. I know my own abilities/experience will dictate a large part of the equation but I am interested in what the 'salty dogs' here will brave. Thanks.

    New Addition to boat

    As a new, first time Dad myself, I have to say CONGRATS! I couldn't imagine how much better life was going to be with my girl here. The fatigue isn't so bad and melts away when they smile at you. I have no practical advice to give re: boating other than you have a good chance to set your...
