PhreeZone 20 #76 October 23, 2002 I still think the 2 DZ rule is a good one. There has to be at least 2 DZ's between your home and her home. It acts as a buffer zone for when you are in the dog house or worse....Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoHawley 0 #79 February 27, 2003 I agree that non-skydivers can't handle it. I had a boyf who was scared of the thought of skidiving and hated me going coz he thought I'd spend the whole time snogging skydivers...so I dumped him and started snogging skydivers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark135 0 #80 February 27, 2003 I started jumping at age 32 with my bro- in law. my wife wondering why we always had a smile and spent entire weekends at dz decided to do a tandem, i had 42 jumps then the next week she was in static line class. she now has over 500 jumps and me over 700. we are both s/l instructors and videographers_______________ "It seemed like a good idea at the time" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue2003 0 #82 February 27, 2003 Met my guy at the DZ 1 1/2 hours from home. Turns out we live 1 mile away from eachother. I am still on AFF and he gives such support. Last year we tag teamed manifest so we could try and take turns jumping. It makes me feel so great just to listen to him debate what rig him might by. Dowside two skydivers stuck in NE winter wonderland can make for two cranky people. Thank God for video's as Jersy says there good for teh soul"Cloudy Skies look different through skydivers eyes.

judyindeskys 0 #86 February 27, 2003 We took up skydiving together last summer and are both in AFF now just waiting for Spring! Married 27 years and it gets more interesting every year! We are really having fun doing this together. Judy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #87 February 27, 2003 Quote Married 27 years and it gets more interesting every year! We are really having fun doing this together. That line makes me think of this little old couple that Derek and I saw skiing down the bunny slopes together. I told Derek that when we get old we will be that little couple, still toodling down the mountain wearing funny hats. Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cameramonkey 0 #92 February 28, 2003 I skydive, she doesnt. Even thinking of marrying this one. She is hard core wuffo, but doesnt mind I jump, provided I balance my two lives. I am glad I am not jumping as much as I could be. I am experiencing more in life than I would had I just been hanging out at the DZ every single weekend. Yeah, some of my hard core juming buddies have given me a hard time, but I think i am a better person for settling down with a wuffo. Now if things start slacking back with her demanding more and more time... thats another story. I have already made it PERFECTLY clear that the only one telling me to stop (or jump less) is me. If she wants me to stop, good luck. She might was well find another wuffo and leave. We'll see how it goes.Two wrongs don't make a right, however three lefts DO!

Vallerina 2 #95 February 28, 2003 QuoteSkydiving has made me a better person. As for the rest of you, I'm not that sure Really? Skydiving hasn't made me a better person at all. On weekends where I could be volunteering, going to protests/rallies for causes I strongly believe in, educating myself by reading, improving my general health, etc, I am needlessly polluting the planet instead. It doesn't make me a better person. It might make me more fun, interesting, experienced, but as for the overall "better" aspect...not at all. I think I also meant more as in a "do people think they're better than anyone else because they skydive." If they think they're better than anyone else because of skydiving, then they are sadly mistaken.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SatchFan 0 #96 February 28, 2003 Quote Right now I'm pretty content with just me & my parachute. She's been loyal, happily goes wherever I want to go and is with me on every jump. Who could ask for more? I'm with ya on this one. Rigs don't complain when you want to spend the whole w/e at the dz either. It does get lonely during the week though. Kinda hard to have a good conversation with it and it doesn't care much about how your day went. Can't have it all though, right? Or can you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
