  1. We took a trip to see Santa today. Here's a picture of my little butterball... "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  2. I agree with you. I only have 7 jumps, but my friend who is an experienced jumper has called me a skydiver from the beginning :D. I likey.

  3. I like when I get back the anonymous writing tutoring session evaluations from my tutees and they say "She was patient, nice, helpful, and I learned a lot" and when they say "She helped me with my grammars" . wipes a tear from her eye It makes me feel good.

  4. No. I did my tandem with Bret. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  5. Sorry about your situation. Sending hugs and vibes. I can't give you advice about the southeast, but I love Southern California. It may not be the best value, but having all of the different environments within an hour's drive (mountains, beach, desert, dropzones...) can't be beat. -M "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  6. Sounds cool. I'm made a reservation for 1:00 p.m. Level 7 will be my only jump for the day. Then, I'll be in the bar... "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  7. A guy at my work was telling me that he heard of a tandem jumper who became detached from the tandem-master and fell to her death (not necessarily a recent event). Seems creepy and disturbing. I've done searches here at DZ.com and on the Internet and haven't found anything like this. Does anyone know anything about an incident like this or if it is an urban myth? p.s. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I didn't think that the Incidents forum was necessarily appropriate.

  8. Chelle, Unfortunately I won't be at Perris tomorrow, but I will be next Saturday. Are you still working on your RW jumps or do you have your A yet?
  9. I love the shots in the boat. That looks like way too much fun. Were you the ones from the December issue of Parachutist? "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  10. Vibes coming your way from me and my kitty... "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  11. I tried growing up in my 20s, but in my 30s I realized that is no fun, and life is too short to grow up. I always wanted to be a writer... but now I'm thinking a career in skydiving...

  12. Here's my first tandem and one of my favorite pics. "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  13. I'm not sure that I get this beer thing. Sure, I like to catch a beer afterwards, but when you jump with your JM, they have to do more jumps afterwards, typically. It's not like they can take a beer break.

  14. Bill, you are so right, but sometimes it's hard to do. I want to take on evidence (or lack thereof) and claims point by point! Tom, keep trying. Skydiving mags are never short of skydiving articles. You also might try submitting skydiving articles to other types of magazines. Good luck. -Michele "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  15. She's the skinny and spooky looking one from "The Practice," and she dated or is still dating Jack Nicholson. I, too, watched the first episode of Paris Hilton's show. Certainly the show was edited to make them look dumber than they are, but it's kind of sad that they seem to have no concept of the real world. Also, they sat at the dinner table of their hosts and insulted and laughed at them.

  16. Miami Vice was my favorite then, but when I've seen episodes more recently, I realize the scripts were really lame for the most part . I was a TV junkie during the 70s & 80s... and there are so many other favorites...

  17. OMG, I started a thread just when you did about this. Melaina is such a fool. Adam has the biggest heart and laugh and any woman would be lucky to have him. Jason is about as dull as beige.

  18. I can't believe Melaina picked Jason. He is so dull and so not real. I'm so sad... "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  19. My friend mentioned trying skydiving a few years ago, and I told her she was out of her mind. Then... I met a skydiver in May, 2003, and I thought what the heck, I'll try it. I was terribly scared, but I'm so glad I went. It changed my life.

  20. I agree, but unfortunately there are still partisan splits on how to manage those important issues. __________________________________________________ Lying about a blow job never got anybody killed!

  21. According to the test, I'll die on Oct. 14, 2044, at the age of 73, most likely of cancer. Deathclock.com gives me a few more years: Jun 16, 2048.

  22. LMAO . Good grief! I had to go and look at the clicky while eating my morning oatmeal. Can't say I wasn't warned! "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  23. Any diet can work. When people are on any kind of diet it's the paying close attention to what they are eating and to CALORIE intake that causes the weight loss, IMO. I personally could never give up carbs!! I say eat reasonably healthy most of the time, pig sometimes without worry, and exercise regularly.

  24. It's all about Diet Vanilla Coke!! "If the Bible has taught us nothing else, and it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girl's sports such as hot oil wrestling and foxy boxing." - Homer Simpson
  25. Hey Duck, Don't sell yourself short. Jumping out of a plane only five times is no small feat. You are obviously passionate about the sport. If you decide to start AFF, the first time you'll feel very secure after the extensive training and with jumpmasters on each side of you.
