skydiverbrian 0 #5 August 4, 2003 Crystal blue skies with big poofy clouds. Small planes passing. The quiet of the early morning just after sunrise. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MochaSkyChick 0 #6 August 4, 2003 Anytime anyone says, "This is my first time doing this or that". I always want to scream, "BEER!" and then of course I start daydreaming about skydiving. PMS #62 Zarza R[red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champu 1 #9 August 4, 2003 I'm a EE but I work with a bunch of Mechanical Engineers so every time I overhear the words "pin", "container", "door" etc. I start thinking about it, which is quite often. it really doesn't take much, I mean... nothing really prompted me to come to dz.com just now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JeffD 0 #12 August 4, 2003 How about the quote that the average male thinks about sex every 30seconds. I think it would be every skydiver thinks of skydiving every second. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #13 August 4, 2003 QuoteQuoteHow about the quote that the average male thinks about sex every 30seconds. I think it would be every skydiver thinks of skydiving every second. I'd have to agree... I only think of skydiving on days that end in 'y', when I'm awake or when I'm sleeping - blech, stupid country song... now that's stuck in my head. It's always on my mind, but certain things make me feel sick for not being @ the dz. A number of them were listed above. The other day a car stoped to let me cross the street - I thougth 'I should thank him' how would I do that? Why, of course by flashing him. Well luckly reason kicked in & I realized I was downtown in a suburb west of chicago (read CONSERVATIVE)... the poor driver went unthanked other whan a waive. Had to leave WFFC to work today & tomorrow, but I think I feel a 'cold' coming on & will not allow me to work tomorrow - YAHOO!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerry81 10 #15 August 4, 2003 -clouds -no clouds -flags -anything that smells remotely like airplane fuel -the "Skydiver on board" sign on my car -anything that smells remotely like the rotten insides of our airplane -any kind of aircraft -anything high enough to jump from -driving fast with the top down -boring classes (I invariably start thinking that I should at least be wearing a "I'd rather be skydiving" T-shirt) ...are just some of the things that remind me of skydiving. Generally speaking, I'd say I think of it every 30 minutes on a 'normal' day, and about every waking moment on mondays and tuesdays after good weekends.

Amazon 7 #20 August 5, 2003 QuoteWhen someone let's go a rank one in the elevator on the way to my office. That is a good reason to put one of the little spray bottles of car freshener in the little pocket on your jumpsuit. We have a frequent offender who has forced this option on me.... so now I carry a little bottle of Pina Colada scent that I can spray at a moments notice for a more pleasant ride to altitude. Everyone needs to do this.. just carry your little bottle of ASS BE GONE..... Amazon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brokeneagle 0 #21 August 5, 2003 I'd have to say EVERYTHING reminds me of skydiving- every time I go outside and see the sky, hear a plane, driving city streets (people don't track worth a damn in those cars), cooking dinner, (Sat.evening cookouts), watering the plants (dadgum pissing industrial haze)... well, you all understand what I mean! Mouth, poor thing! (HUG) I've been traveling for a while; didn't know you were broken, leetle one-- much empathy, my friend Happen skydiving, or on a mundane note? Heal well, feel better soon!
