I love traveling when I can whether it be a road trip to Vegas or down the coast, another region in the country, or another country if I can. England has been my biggest trip so far. I've been to Hawaii twice, but now that I'm a skydiver I'd like to skydive there someday.

OMG, my next jump will be 18. Now you know that you can do this and that must give you confidence. I'm glad you're ok. Good for you. -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

Thanks. You gave me a lot to think about and train for, regarding pulling the reserve. I always do practice touches before leaving the plane and after, but now I realize I should do another PT after any flips, too.

Load of crap, yes! Yes! We've talked about this extensively in other threads. Reaching a "statistical certainty of a fatality?" "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

Yesterday I did my 16th jump, my 6th solo. I had previously been using a 200, but used the 220 because the other wasn't available, and an instructor agreed the 220 might help out my landings which have been sucky lately. The 220 rig is big on my body, and I need to make sure the straps are really tight. The 15th jump went well. On the next, I did a practice touch, but at pull time I reached and couldn't find the handle. My heart instantly starting beating about three times its normal rate. I pulled my hand away, then tried again, telling myself in those seconds, try once more then you must pull silver. But, I got it with my fingertips and threw it out. Although I was scared, I realized that I knew what to do and went through those steps, not even thinking about any AAD. I knew it I couldn't find it the second attempt I would pull silver. I know this may not seem like a big deal to experienced jumpers, but to me it was! This was a good learning experience... and I'm glad to be alive today.

OMG!! The question I had once or twice is if I've had to use my reserve... not a stupid question, but I don't have that many jumps. I know it couldn't happen anytime, but it goes to show how whuffos see the sport. I also have been asked about the breathing which I find strange. On my first tandem I never even considered that... I mean I've hiked on a mountain at higher than 12,000 feet.

These were my big crushes... 1. Ricky Schroeder 2. Ralph, The Greatest American Hero 3. Don Johnson 4. Roland Orzabal of Tears for Fears These don't date me at all do they???

Thanks for posting the link. I just heard about this briefly on KFI this morning. Instead of talking about this attack on KFI they are talking about Jacko . This attack is very frightening and I'm feeling saddened today.

I don't see any comments about "both" yet such as kitten necrophilia "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

Congratulations on your marriage!

IMO, no one is under any obligation to to fulfill anyone's dreams other than his or her own. Hopefully your father won't give you a hard time, but from what you said it seems that is just how he is, so try not to take his behavior personally. That's what I've learned to do with my father. I know that is easier said than done. Feel better soon. Best wishes to you. -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

I've heard about this, and I know a lot of people have seen this, but it's the first time for me. Kinda freaked me out. I, too, would be curious on more details. Thanks for posting the link, Brian.

-I think it's peculiar. I say why not adopt? "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

Thanks for sharing! You're plenty graceful. You should see me . "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

Congrats on the graduation and solos!!

Congratulations on your graduation!

John- Don't feel guilty. He knew you loved him. I'm so sorry for your loss. -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

Personally I think a smooth chest and arms on a man is not as sexy as some hair; HOWEVER, in your case you say it's long and wispy... so... in this case I suggest you could have the back hair lasered off, like on Extreme Makeover.

For only 4 jumps I think you're being way to hard on yourself. I had a similar problem with spinning and found the wind tunnel to be a great deal of help. If you're near Perris, I suggest trying it.

The best fish and chips ever is that biker place on PCH in Malibu. I forget the name. Oh, I want to take a cruise! "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

I'm so happy Meredith picked Ian. I knew it! You could always feel the heat between them coming through the screen. Awww love... "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

I agree. They must be referring to straight belly flying. Also, as for me, I have to exert a lot of muscle power practicing my flares. The anxiety factor must play in to burning more calories, too.

What about Warheads? I like sour candy, too, and nothing I've tried has made me pucker more.
