DJatLarge 0 #6 January 16, 2004 I'm so close to doing all that it is scary! I'm pretty much day to day as it is at my job. Been tempted to quit, downsize as much as I can, finish paying for my rig I'm buying off another jumper, and just jump till the credit cards say NO!!

NoShitThereIWas 0 #8 January 17, 2004 Have been there done that except I worked at the DZ full time 5 days a week, on my day off washed airplanes, the bathrooms, campers, whatever I could to earn tickets and then Day #7 was spent at the DZ burning those precious tickets. But I was just thinking about that: "You know you're a skydiver when ..." it is cloudy and you're driving down the freeway and you see a "hole" and think, we could jump through that. (Doesn't matter where the hole is located or what it's over ... just that we could jump through it )Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."

RoysPlayThing 0 #9 January 17, 2004 When even though you are not a continuous jumper... You still stare at the clouds and the sky and wish you were up there. _______________________________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

bobsled92 0 #13 January 17, 2004 You try to permenently move the "herd" 1,500 miles for the jumping. THey will come after we establish PERMENANT residency=block house, not rental/trailer. This my take 12-20 months to do but, I planted the seed last year and she just said "You are right! We gotta move!"_______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpinjackflash 0 #14 January 17, 2004 Your completely sexless But the thought of spending a weekend looking for someone to lay..... Takes away time from being at the dropzone. Yes, sick, I know, but it's where I'm at, the sky has become my mistress. I'm sure it can't last too long, can it? jjf happy to be here on planet earth where gravity provides more entertainment than I could've ever imagined...It's a gas, gas, gas...

welshKat 0 #15 January 17, 2004 Yep, I got made redundant too - one of the first things I did was buy my rig Now I got no job, no home, but on the rare weekends I get to jump don't think twice about spending over 100 quid! Why?!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian84 0 #16 January 18, 2004 When your whuffo friends look at the sky and ask "would you jump right now........how about now??" and they start to enjoy bad weather just cause it pisses you off so much....those bastards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites SkydiveMonkey 0 #17 January 18, 2004 You hear a song and you instantly think of a video it was on (tell me you don't think of Chronicles 3 when you hear I Choose or Doin Time (or even better - Intermission ))____________________ Say no to subliminal messages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites benny 0 #18 January 24, 2004 On the way home from the DZ, billboard for Weight-loss center reads: "Discover the thrills of downsizing" It think: "Tell me about it."
