yeah..not everyone can be blessed like us... *runs back to her corner*

Actually, Spaceland does. Link to group discounts: http://www.skydivespaceland.com/group_discounts.html

HAHA!! If that's not the truth!!!!

*swoon* Gosh I almost forgot about those guys....one can only dream that they shal return this year!

I don't think the world could handle a book of such sort!!

I agree that Walt should continue. I love reading his stories and then hearing them from "460" in person and laughing hysterically again! Hey Walt, I showed up at 460's this past weekend wearing bright red pants...you know...like take the whoreish bright red lipstick - and bump it 1 shade up...hahaha!! Let's just say I'm glad I had a pair of jeans in my car to change into ...when I walked up he goes "Hey, wanna go scope out a building?" Just to let others know, Mr. Jimmy (Airtwardo) has posted some rather amusing stories in the history forum as well. Check them out if you have time, because he, as Walt, is an amazing writer! Copied from the forum..one of my fav's: "Not really a scary story but a memorable one for me.... I was living in San Diego, going to make my first BASE jump that night from atop a building to remain nameless in Los Angles. Rode my motorcycle up to Elsinore to see some friends and get some positive energy, midmorning I headed into L.A. I stopped for some refreshment at an establishment near LAX, you know, the kind of place that requires a lot of dollar bills... As fortune would have it...this happened to be the day that the Rodney King softball team was found "Not Guilty". To the sound of gunshots and the smell of burning automobiles, I ascertained that perhaps this was not the best place for a small town midwest white boy to be cruising the streets 1/2 toasted on a motorcycle... Back home to my beach front condo, watching the news that evening, I get the "Where the hell are ya!?!?" call. "It's a go man...all the cops are busy tonight!" ...On the road again.... I find myself on a roof looking out over what can only be described as Armageddon...sirens and red lights flashing, fires burning, gunshots ring out constantly in the distance. Since I was # 3 of 3 going, I had a few moments to stand alone on that tiny corner of concrete overlooking the chaos that is... "?The End Of The World?" The sights, the sounds, the smell...the thoughts going through my head at that moment are forever ingrained in my being. Stepping into the abyss... for one precious second, I had never felt so alive ! I was Chuck Heaston and this was Omega Man. Then it was...Oh Shit! Get in the game!! Head up, knees bent, get ready to throw........ Oh wow, look at that, -my accelerating reflection in the windows next door....... OH YEAH!!! THROWWWWWW!!! The plan was to open high...check canopy, left turn over the wires, middle of the near empty, dark street, flare and land as close to the awaiting 'getaway' van as possible. What happened was... Opening shock...reach for the zoo handles while glancing at my suddenly, remarkably beautiful 7 cell....BAM------ball o' dirt ! OUCH........Where'd that come from?! Oh, Yeah.....Planet. Sitting there on my soon to be bruised ass... Running quickly through my " Aw Shit" checklist : 5 times 5 equals 10... no 20... no...25 ...fuck it, I hate math, both eyes working, teeth intact, toes wiggle, fingers grip....balls still situated front and center, no unexpected solids or liquids in their vicinity... Oh yeah...BREATH! From the darkness behind me, I hear in sultry sexy southern belle drawl, "Are you OKAY? That was fantastic! You're incredible! Can ya do that again?!" (....words I often hear from women this time of night.) and then- "Ya want me to help ya?" (...ahhh, NOT words I EVER heard, -Honest!) Turning around I lock eyes with a 6 foot tall, cropped haired, too well muscled...' woman in comfortable shoes ' as we refer to ladies of her obvious sexual orientation where I come from...in an LA County Sheriffs Department uniform.... Aw Shit checklist #2 ; I wonder if a bailbonds man will take American Express?! As Ms. Dixie helps me gather my gear, she says- " Yer buddies are over yonder wait on ya, bring 'em back I wanna meet 'em." ...Oh...sure...okay...I'll be right back, I mumbled over my shoulder as I jogged to the van. "What took you...the cops will be here any time now" my 'buddies' chastised.... Nah, they're already here, I said...we gotta roll! After celebrating back at that 'Dollar Bill" place...green bottles on me! I was sitting on my Super Glide at a stoplight a couple blocks from an on ramp....405 south. I raised the visor on my helmet, looked into my eyes with the rearview... Pondering the reflection with satisfaction, a car pulled up along side me... Several young 'gentlemen from the neighborhood' were looking at me, though admiring my bike, they seemed unimpressed with it's paint job, I'm sure I heard something about the 'Wrong Color!'....I guess they were up early so they could go deer hunting, they were well enough armed. I looked to the driver, ( hopefully the 'alpha male' ) and gave a quick nod. I heard him say to his crew, "He awl rite...he cool." As the light changed and we both went on our way, ......I couldn't help but agree with him! One of the best days of my life!" There are several other awesome stories written very well, even some from Bill Booth. If you have time on your hands...check it out..I think I spent several hours reading through every page a couple months back. http://dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=270299;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;guest=17457620

For every 60 seconds of your life you spend upset, it is one minute of happiness you will never get back....

where's the *BING* icon right about now? I must give it to them...they definately played one hell of a series...I swore this series was gonna give me a heart attack! I enjoyed watching it regardless they loss.

On his way out to Eloy from Florida, Dan stayed with me for a few days. For one, he was the best house guest I have ever had! He's very considerate of others and just has a tendancy to treat women with the upmost respect. I watched the women 'oggle' over him anywhere we went. He is such a sweetheart!..oh..and it's always GREAT to have someone around who will give you honest advice "girl, you DO NOT need to wear that shirt with those jeans!" Only thing I didn't care for is the fact that he looks way better in any pair of tight jeans than I EVER could..and I doubt I'll ever be able to get my waist as tiny either..punk ass! Luv ya, Dan!

...not my fault! you will eat your words..oh yes...you will.
