mouth 0 #1 October 26, 2004 I was sitting here watching the sunset and thinking about life when of course my thoughts turned to friends. I called a few of them and chatted awhile then just sat and watched the final rays pass out of sight. As I sat there I thought about how those friends I've met through DZ.com. I might would have met them at a DZ but then again I might not have. I then got to thinking about how many people I correspond with through this sight on an almost daily basis. I started thinking about how many of your guys I've met all over. WOW...that blew my mind. I then went so far as to pull out my phone and see how many phone numbers of all you guys I have. The answer is quite a few. All this to say I really appreciate this site for the skydiving info but I also appreciate it for the strong bonds of friendships that I've forged over the years. Anyone else ever have your day made by a felow dz.commer? I can't remember when I haven't talked to some of you daily. If you are part of my daily routine I want to thank you because you keep me going. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit.

I had avoided relationships my entire life because they didn't seem worth it to me. I could do everything that I wanted to do and not deal with the hassle if I stayed single. Indirectly, this site got me into my first serious relationship. While this site has helped me grow as a skydiver, it has gotten me to grow and change so much as a person. My life is definitely forever changed for the better because of it. I look back to the person I was 2 1/2 years ago, and I can't believe how naive I was about relationships. I thought that I could be intellectually stimulated enough without relastionships. However, to know someone so smart on such an intimate level...that really challenges you. Debating anyone else, you can walk away from. Being in love with someone, you take a deeper look at yourself and where you're coming from when they question you. Basically, because of this site, I fell in love for the first time.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jjiimmyyt 0 #6 October 27, 2004 Never really met other peeps from the site due to geographic distance. OK, Quade had to watch me eat breakfast once (how was your french toast Paul?) and Diablopilot and me said hi once (although he didn't know who I was). Probably had something to do being a newb and they were busy, also I tend to lurk in real life as well as here. Maybe if I get over to the UK mainland or back to the US I'll try better.

I think it surprised her when I tracked down who she was and told her as much in the reply...she hasn't replied since. Oh well. I guess at a place like this, the good FAR outways the bad and having to put up with a small handful of people who are hateful is a small price to pay.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
