I was 5'8" in 8th grade Fine, form your little club - however, anyone that joins can not wear any shoes that make them over 5'4". It's not fair that you get to be little & petite but wear huge shoes that make you basically my height. Note - not directed @ anyone specifically, just those short girls that wear big shoes.

very cool!! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Thanks, I'll have to tell him. I think he thinks it's typical. I kinda don't think it's that unusual either; sounds like it may be though. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Rock on - thank you so much for the reassurance!! wow!! Sounds bout as bad as polish Spirituse - which is 180proof - but it's just regular strong alcohol. This stuff sounds fun! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

I've NEVER had a nickname/aliase. Well, other than my mom calling me Maria for some completely unknown reason. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Thanks for the ideas. My break lines aren't twisted (I untwist them @ the end of every jumping day) - but they may get tension knots, not sure how to avoid those or what would cause them. I did check & the break lines are long enough to bow behind the other lines while in flight, so they're not too short. The container is brandy-new

Awsome!!! That's what I was waiting to hear.

hehe, it's funny - I bought this canopy FROM Val - that's why she made the comment. Once a smaller pilot chute was used, the canopy opened nice & smooth. Just a thought - on my new container; the risers feel like they're coming up off my boobs, so the canopy is kinda pulled down on the sides - I have to open the chest strap like all those fancy swoopers (though I'm not swooping). I wonder if that curvature could be a cause? Don't really have anyother options, cause if I don't tighten the chest strap to that point, the sholder comes kinda off the side whilst HD and THAT I don't like. There is no can't.

That is weird, sucks when you really don't expect it. Spectres are known for great openings, which is one of the reasons I have one. Another note to mine, I pack for myself. So all of these issues were on my pack jobs. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

I jump a Spectre, have over 100 jumps on my new-to-me canopy & just purchased a new container. My openings have always been lovely!! Well, for about 20 jumps I was tucking my nose in, but that seemed to caused end cell closure, so I stopped doing it & the end cell closure went away. Last weekend I had an odd incident on which I hope you experienced people can advise me. Saturday I had progressively worse right end-cell closure. On the last jump of the day the whole cell was collpased & put me in a slight turn. I jerked on the risers (which historically has corrected the issue instantly); that actually aggrivated the issue & threw me into a face down spin around the canopy. I grabbed the toggles & felt both of them release (so it wasn't a matter of one toggle out); pulled smoothly but rapidly down, let up, nothing. Gave 2 good just past chest deep pulls & teh canopy finally straightened out. Jeesh - almost had to chop. I was flying fine @ 2.1K'. So, take it to the rigger, he checks - lines don't appear out of trim (less than 2 inches uneven) & nothing else has changed. He pulls hard on the outter lines to stretch them back a bit, it makes them more even. Next day, 1st jump; open & this time it's almost the same thing issue but on the left side. However one huge yank on both rear risers corrects the issue. 2nd jump of the day it opens diving - again yanking on rears corrects. On all 3 jumps I'm looking hard @ the canopy & nothing looks abnormal. The trim is pretty much right on - perhaps in another 50 - 100 jumps will need re-line, but not right now. Any advice? Am I & my rigger cracked & less than 2 inches of unevenness is causing all this & I need to pull my head outta the sand & get a re-line (canopy has less than 400 jumps total). Or could there be something else? It's totally outta the blue, so I don't think it's a sudden body position change, but can't tell. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

That is exactuly my fear!! Plus I'm afraid the package will be traced & I'll be arrested for purchasing an illegal substance. Anyone know bout that? I think it'd be a great addition to the bonfire. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

may by it's cause I'm a girl, but I HATE THIS!! Sure, if a girl has perky A cups - fine, but anything bigger & they're swaying around. Blech - get a bra!! I have a friend that pretty much refuses to wear a bra under any kind of shirt that may possibly show the straps - around the dz, she's swaying away, hanging down. The nipples aren't pointing down, but the boobs hang. Then she throws footballs or plays volleyball - . Wear something, even a bikini top will help. Anyway, sorry - back to sexyness. Rhino, your love of your children makes you sexy as hell. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

mine too - i get it stuck in my head all the time!! I really don't understand those people & kinda forget that they're around - different strokes (or none) for different folks I guess. Talking to a friend of mine; he says he hides his porn from his wife. To me that's crazy. I found my b/f's not so hidden stash & bought him some updated stuff. Why not? There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

gosh, thanks - but I really truly don't think my skin is any different from most other people. glad you saw me on my good skin days. and the glow - yea, it's natural, just don't wash your face all day & you can get it too. you sunny are truly sunny - you have the glow, great skin & supurb smile There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

no - no it's not - damn is that area sexy though!! but - that's once you get there. Before that, a look in the eyes, good teeth, just the right way of kissing. like "damn I want you now & forever" AND I just love smile lines. Men get such great smile lines. sexy on me - dunno, but my b/f says that he can tell if I feel sexy cause no matter what I'm wearing it shows. But if I feel like cr*p, no matter what I wear, I look exhausted. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

thanks - but no more than a lot of people on here. just overly horny & willing to do something about it. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Sorry, no proof to offer - though my b/f just shook his head when I brought it inside & washed it . I hadn't even thought about that, wonder if my insurance would cover any damages There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Honestly, this anwer was by far the best, thanks for being honest . ~Chachi Not a problem... weekend update - new kitten killed by slow driving death. I bougt a new toy from our dz's "drug dealer" (she knows who she is) - a strap on vibrator - lets just say the hour 20 minute drive home was mighty fine - if not a bit difficult to consentrate.

I've never DATED an asshole - I've slept w/ a bunch of them though. it was fun - then I'd tell them to f-off. Funny thing is that after sleeping w/ & dumping them; they turned into nice guys. In college 2 of them ended up being my best friends. No one else could stand them - but they were nice to me. And - no - I never slept w/ them more than 1 time. So, does it take an asshole to get along w/ assholes? I dunno; but I've been called a bitch before. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

When my family moved there in '86 there were 1000 cars per day moving into the state of FL. Some counties actually banned any new construction. You'd think the weather would detur some people. Imagine the growth rate if there were no hurricanes! There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

An ex of mine called female self stimulation of the clitoral "flipping my whistle". So, I chose, beaten - same as flipping; right? I was flipping my whistle while watching a new porn movie for over an hour last night - a slow painfree death. Thank goodness I remembered to put a towel on the sofa first. There is no can't.

I agree 100%. We have nothing on Babalonia & the Greeks & some some of the Romans. Nothing's new. It just seems to come in waves. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

I totally agree with you. Too bad FL has both hurricanes & tornadoes. At least the tonadoes up here tend to be bigger & trackable (well for the 2 - 15 mintutes they're active anyway). Mel, it can totally suck here in Chicago area. It gets blooming cold - but the slopes are nothing to even think of. Typically the fake snow just freezes & so the skiing is horrid. It's so dang cold some people have to start their cars 30 minutes before they expect to need to drive them. That doesn't even start to talk about shoveling the snow that the plow pushed up behind your car outta the way. My mom (in FL) was complaining about tripping over the sand bags around here doors for the past month - I'd rather trip over that then the nasty melted ice pu that stains the carpet & the shoes filling the hall way. Why am I here again - dang I must love my man. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

That is good we don't have to leave; cause we can't. It's too f-in cold; a person would freeze to death when the weather gets bad here. Give me a good old fashion hurricane/tropical storm anyday. At least you don't have to go to work when the storm hits. Here, no one gives a sh*t if it snowed 24" last night; best not be late for work. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

C, Tigra; I know of bunches of circumstance like that w/ real relatives or ex's working together - just pisses me off more. Thanks for liking my take on the in-law
