raggdoll 0 #1 April 20, 2004 Hi, all. I'm so glad I found this place. Two weeks ago, I made my first tandem. Last weekend, my first AFF. If all goes according to plan, this weekend will be my second AFF. My parents think I'm certifiable. My ex thinks I'm crazy. I know I've found Heaven. I'm hooked already. Nervous and a bit scared but thrilled and amazed. I hope the high never ends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Romericus 0 #7 April 21, 2004 Congratulations on your new addiction. I used to jump at Raeford and I miss the place dearly. I dont want to scare you, but beware the Dragon, it can get you. I'm sure you'll do fine, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And reading everything available here to get as much information as possible. Thanks again, and to those nearby, see you at Raeford. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
