It's on my bucket list. I went for a ride on a ppg [ chute style] it was beautiful. Like riding on a pillow. I also had a link to ppg accidents that I would check occasionally, I believe it is the safest form of flight statistically. I lost the link and haven't refound it? By far, most accidents are pilot error. A bit of a steep learning curve after solo. I think the glide ratio is about 7/1, so if you are up a thousand feet and lose an engine you can glide over a mile to land. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Same reason no one ever thought Clark Kent looked like Superman with glasses and a different hairstyle? Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Cool. I wonder how you take care of it? I think it will start growing if you don't know what to do. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

I'm hoping it will grow slow enough to give her time to figure it out. I decided to see if there was a time-lapse video on bonsai, and there was! According to the info, total work time is around 7 hours. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Beautiful gift. They remind me of those bristlecone pines that live for 4,000 years. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

| Fleastiff Member since: Oct 27, 2012 Threads: 62 Posts: 7831 | When a "ringer" snuck his way into Molly Bloom's Los Angeles, poker game and repeatedly lost millions he had supposedly earned from money management fees but which actually were deposits into his as yet undetected ponzi scheme, lawyers reached out to DiCaprio's deep pockets to get all those millions back under NY law which allows ponzi transactions to be unwound for a period of time. So his RMS Titanic movie may have made him a star and a few following movies may have helped but he is not sitting as pretty as he thinks.
