    "I would have gotten the job -- if I were a woman."

    Aquabella, First you claim I sound "...more then bitter", then you state I "...dwell on the nagative". How would you characterize those comments within the framework of yours? I told you all I found this amusing.....

    "I would have gotten the job -- if I were a woman."

    When I have been discriminated against based upon my race and gender, imagine if someone said to another person discriminated against based upon her race-Rosa Parks, where all she lost was a front seat; "I can't help Ms. Parks but notice you sound more then a little bitter". I actually have...

The more we got screamed at by the tactical officers the...

    extend air CO2 absorbant

    Chris, At DEMA AP showed an Evolution scrubber with an Extendaire cartridge. I take it this was made with some means of having their C02 thermister down the center axially. I know AP has a new scrubber housing for the Inspiration that employs their new scrubber head and electronics. So here...

    Need advice for raising a half-sunken boat

    Masoud, If you can get a strap under the hull and keep it in a fixed location, you can use several steel drums as lift devices. You can either have a tab welded onto the bottom, invert the steel drum after flooding it and then fill it with air, or use sealed drums and use a come-along under...

    what do you wear under...under your drysuit?

    Submariner, The date of the original thread did not escape me so perhaps the benefit of stating the obvious is of dubious value. The forum software allows threads to be closed and I also noticed this had not been done. I can only surmise that this affirmatively means the that forum owner did...

    big dicissions

    NEVER travel to a foreign country or even within the U.S without a chunk of money and with the knowlege your parents or a trusted family member can bail you out if you get broke and desperate. If you run out of money, there are types that will pull stunts in foreign countries like give you...

    Prism Article

    If proof of being a real computer is having to reload corrupted software, reloading the main OS software, running virus scanning software, getting worm viruses constantly, constantly sending out viruses, hardhanging a program requiring one to reboot the entire os, well, you're right, I don't...

    Piston vs Diaphram 1st stage

    I dove open circuit for 20 or more years using a Oceanic Omega regulator and that things will almost inflate me it breathes so incredibly easy at all depths, and it never gave me drymouth. I still have it, it still works beautifully and have always been able to get it overhauled.

    [edited by Rick Murchison] OTOH, via PADI and the GUE's DIR related to ADA used by DM's for CCR's via HSAI, perhaps WKKP could clarify to beginners what we are jibberishing about, lol....no wonder why nobody knows what the hell we are saying......

    New Inspiration scrubber.HUD & integrated controller

    Chris, I actually don't like the idea of crap dangling all over my wrists, so the dual Hammerhead wrist controllers are not my cup of tea although I will guess one wrist unit can be tethered to the front. I am not even enthused about having even a single wrist controller/computer but I will...

    Getting ready to go to Mexico, need some help

    Waxing avoids shaving irritation, but depending on the toughness and elasticity of your follicle pores, it can cause ingrowns in some. Also, it does not stay as smooth or for so long as many think. The hair must be at least 1/8"" of an inch long for most thicker bodied hot wax to grab it...

    Getting ready to go to Mexico, need some help

    MikeC, You almost had it nailed on the head, more like waxing it till it's a bald spot then scratching a bald spot, lol. Brazilian is a term that has evolved into alot of different meanings. The most popular one is complete removal of all hair down south and in between the buns. In...

    Taking Carribean recommendations

    I like good food, but a communal table option to hang out with guests and socialize is quite enjoyable. I prefer it to be on a private beach too, or at least a secluded one.

    "I would have gotten the job -- if I were a woman."

    chickdiver, everytime I read your quote, it reminds me of Margeret Thatcher, who kicked the ass of a much larger country 6000 miles away....Susan B Anthony's brilliantly articulate and defiant speach to the court who was trying her for voting also comes to mind... Having said that, if I were...
