I won't be at the Bash afterall.

J-Man, I am amazed at your patience in this thread... knowing how you would have to take "the flack" for dropping out at the "last minute". Your fear of flying is real, and I understand why you feel you can't go onto the plane.

I myself know I have JUST ONE LIFE-- not like cats (and really, cats only have 1 life anyway, LOL). So, every time the plane starts its ascent on the long runway, I am aware that it's now out of my hands & of course feel that I don't have anything tied up in case something bad happens. It doesn't stop me from flying everywhere, though, like several long trips to Alaska a few years ago to visit my best friend. Not to throw a stat out there, but I'm sure you know how you actually are likely to die from driving (and especially in MD, eh?) than flying.

Anyway, I didn't mean to make a morbid post... but cool pixes that you attempted to post (didn't see some others as you took them down after a few minutes but I actually thought the one picture from few weeks ago was from that TV show, Journeyman character).

Like Illini said:

A 40 year old single dad with a 10 year old daughter. A down to earth person that loves sports and loves to chat with the boys.

That has always been my impression, and that hasn't changed regardless of this thread that you can't make it in person to the bash.

I like TTinCo's idea of having 2008 Spring bash at the Preakness, why the heck not!? :toast:

Hope to meet you sooner than later, J-man.

Take care,

* CalvinTy

same guy?

Hey J-man...how long you been hanging out with Rodney? Can't you just power flap those things and fly yourself out here?

 

[Journeyman]

I don't understand, who is Rodney?

I don't understand, who is Rodney?

Dangerfield....No Respect ?

 

[Journeyman]

Just figured out who Rodney was...Harrison lol

 

[Betallsports]

I apologize for saying I could fly to Las Vegas, I just can't fly period...I tried to talk myself into it....went as far buying my ticket and reserving my room, I just can't fly.

I looked into other alternatives but nothing from Maryland is feasable, everything else would take several days.

I hope everyone has a great time and wins some money ... I hope to meet some of you guys at a local party or event where I can just drive myself....perhaps Atlantic City or Ocean City sometime this fall.

I wish I had a better reason other than I am scared to fly in a plane but I don't.

Hey Jman...Sorry to hear about your Plane Fear.....I know alot of people like that..

But I do think you could be on to something...With a AC Get Together or something like that !!

There are More then Enough Guys on here that are from the NY/NJ/PA/MD area that we should do something ??

Not going this year to the Bash as well, Need to be in NY/CR this time of the year....But I am Up to Anything after 9/9

Most likely the RX can't help and stuff, but a small get together isn't out of the Question !!

What do you Think ??

 

[barman]

This is The Greatest Thread in the history of the Rx

 

[barman]

JMAN: I returned my ticket and it cost me $130

and

JMAN: My mother even bought me a piece of nice luggage.....

SH: So basically you just paid $130 to disappoint your Sainted Mother....

[MrCleo]

gonna be in bmore thursday night? i'll be at the orioles-sox game and then out around the harbor/downtown all night until i catch my flight at 6am out of d.c. to vegas

 

[sharky99]

Haven't slept, it's 5am, I read this thread and all I can think of is drinking heavily:drink::drink::drink::hammerit

 

[Fishhead]

Everyone should at least have the option of a parachute.

INSTANT CLASSIC!
OMG..LMFAO..hno:

This will become one of the most unforgetable posts in RX history.

ps-Thank God they don't, because Jmans mother would have wasted more money paying for a damn parachute and my guess is that parachutes are much more expensive than a piece of luggage.

pss- By the way, as evidenced with post #33 in this thread, JMAN has no obligation to anyone for attending this years bash or any future bashes..........at least until parachutes are mandatory on all flights.

[bigbet1234]

And I thought I was strange:ughhh:

yep, that is me...look at the email address.

 

[Seymour]

I may just get on YouTube lol or get a webcam and do video chats.

Any way I can make money doing that?

You've got to make your character larger than life like JJ - I would piss myself if you had one of those youtube rants like him

 

[Addict101]

LOL this thread is great. We all knew this would happen didn't we?

 

[oldirtyku]

I fly twice a week and feel safer in a plane then on the road... I sat next to this guy who was scared to fly. Him and his wife decided thtat they would drive home b/c the dude was kirking out... Crazy flight...

J-man, I totally understand your situation. As you know, I too have a problem with flying, the anxeity and feeling of being out of control of your situation is beyond alot of people's comprehention. I think some people are just disapointed that your not going and are lashing back; It will pass.
