Ok, I have a question for the experts on train exits. I did my first train last weekend. I am a pretty new freeflyer. I was the bottom person on the train. My problem was that while we were in the train I couldn't get my feet down so I was in a reclined sit, so when we exited the train I fell onto my back and went high, then I couldn't get back down to the person I was jumping with (who was bigger than me). Is this a normal difficulty in trains? Is there a trick to getting your feet down if you are the bottom person in a train? You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

One word: RAMEN!! Get a case of it (24 packs) for something like $2.00. Can't get much cheaper than that. It's the ultimate Bachelor/Starving student food. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Sorry, but we're hogging it all down here in Southern California. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

I am no expert here, but I say if you can afford it go ahead and do more than one in a day. It gives you a chance to really get down what the body position feels like without having a week between jumps to let your muscle memory get lax. Still do your debriefs and think about your jump between dives, but go for it. I did aff 1 and 2 on the same day, and it worked out just fine. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

I grew up in Indonesia, so I always got Ramen when I was sick. But the authentic Indonesian kind that is spicy enough to kill anything trying to live inside of you. That always worked well. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Well, I just came across this, and thought it kind of fit in with the Accents thread so I thought I would throw it up here: 25 Ways to Annoy a Yankee 1. Take your own sweet time when doing ANYTHING. 2. Pronounce all one-syllable words with two. 3. When giving directions, finish with "it's right down yonder on the left." 4. Talk REAL slow, and ask them to speak more slowly so you can understand what they're saying. 5. When they talk nostalgically about the North, tell 'em "Delta's ready when you are!" 6. Talk loudly and often about SEC football or ACC basketball. 7. Refer to every soft drink as a Coke. 8. Always order sweet tea and/or grits. When they don't have it, raise a ruckus. 9. Offer to send 'em a bottle of fresh air. 10. Insist on being addressed by your first AND middle names. (e.g. Lisa Marie -- John Michael -- Jim Bob. . .) 11. Frequently bring up "The War of Northern Aggression" in conversation. If anyone ever says the words "Civil War", always interject that "there was nothing civil about it." 12. Address all males as "son" and females as "little lady". 13. Correct their pronunciation of certain words. For example: "It's 'pee-can.'" 14. Put Tabasco on everything. 15. For New York Yankees: Act as if the whole state of New York is New York City. In other words, if they say "Yo, I'm from upstate New Yoik!", say "Well I'll be, my wife has always wanted to see a Broadway show!" 16. When invited to dinner, offer to bring dessert. Show up with a box of Moon Pies. . . banana ones. 17. Name all of your children "Bubba". 18. Use the word "reckon" in a sentence. 19. "Mash" buttons. "Cut" off lights. "Carry" the kids to school. "Fetch" something. 20. Never simply "do" something. Be "fixin to do" something. 21. Tell them you don't have an accent, they do. 22. Be sure to include "yes/no ma'am/sir" in all conversations.. 23. Only use landmarks and ramble on when giving directions. "Now go down Jeff Davis Highway and turn left at where the Chevron station used to be. I think they turned it into a Amoco. Or maybe a BP. Anyway, turn right there. . ." "You said left." "Did I? Well, turn left there and follow it until you see a big fish on your left. I remember when that fish used to be on the other side of town.." 24. Ask them if it's still snowing up North. Then tell 'em you went driving around in your convertible this weekend. 25. Call 'em a yankee. Works every time.

0:3:1 Had a great day of jumping at Perris. Three really fun sit dives. I'm actually starting to get it. The beer is for my first train sitfly exit. Just a two way, and I hosed the jump when we exited the train, but it was a blast anyway. They say nothing lasts forever. If that's true how do you explain herpes? or the Grateful Dead?

Wow, you all are pretty lucky. We don't have any cool stuff in our office. In fact, the other day I was looking through our meager supply drawer and noticed that we did not have any black pens. I brought this up to the person in charge of ordering supplies and she said, and I quote, "Black pens are no longer on the approved supply list"!?!?! What the HELL?!?! Black pens are not allowed? But blue or red are?!?! Man, what the hell is this world coming to? I really need to get out of this corporate hell.

1:3:2 1 free skydive won in a drawing at a safety seminar (WooHoo) 3 Excellent Skydives 2 Cases owed for first time winning a free skydive and first time holding a sit for a whole skydive

Hmm... only got a 140, will have to work on it.

Do you get to count this one if you just don't have ANY friends, skydiving or not? Crap, I only got an 8. I think I am the lowest scorer so far. I really need to get back in the air and work on this. Soon, so very soon. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Yup, tonight. Working from memory here, so might not be completely accurate, but there are going to be 2 peak periods. One I beleive is at 11 or 11:30 eastern, the second one is at 5:30 am eastern, 2:30 am pacific. You should be able to find news articles about it easily enough for more info on best viewing conditions, etc... You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

"I would buy the dozen boxes" 3+3+3 = ? This wasn't a math scholarship, was it? HAHAHAHAHA!!! WooHoo, I really pulled a good one there, huh? Actually, the REALLY sad part about this is that yes, I did major in Math. My Koledge edumacation was wurth evry penny. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

So I'm sitting here doing my wor... Uhhh... reading posts on DZ.com, and all of a sudden someone yells "Get Out! Get Out!" We're all like "what the hell is going on" so we all stand up to see. Turns out that some wiring had gotten crossed, or something, and the surge protectors in four cubicles had blown up. There was fear of a fire, so they were telling us to evacuate the building. Well, since there were no obvious flames or smoke, of course none of us actually started leaving. The fire never really started, just some melted wires and ruined surge protectors. I couldn't help but think, "Damn, if it had just been allowed to start a little bit, we would probably have gotten a few days off for them to do repairs, then it would be off to the dropzone." Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait for the weekend. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

When I was in college I was a donut fiend. I would buy the dozen boxes from the grocery store that had three cinnamon, three powdered sugar and three plain. I wouldn't eat the plain though. They would sit there for a month, then when they were nice and hard and crunchy (never got moldy, though) my roommate would eat them. He was a little weird. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Damn, that was eerie.... It's like it was reading my mind. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

3::0 Still too poor to make any jumps. That should be changing really soon though, so I should be back up in the air within a month or two. Thank God!! You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Hmmm... thanks to DZ.com I don't think too many of us have a problem answering no to this one. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Not ours. They always ran down the road and tried to get hit by cars. I was driving down the road to my house once and all of a sudden these two horses, no saddle or tack of any kind, come trotting up the road in my lane. I stopped, they walked up and stopped right in front of my car. I was thinking "what the hell?". All of a sudden this guy comes tearing around the corner and the horses take off and he takes off after them. I was just like, "ok, that was interesting" and went on my merry way. I guess that's what I get for living in east bumblef**k. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

NES! The original Nintendo! Haha! I actually bought one off of ebay a couple years ago. Console and 12 games for something like 20 bucks. Still play the damn thing pretty often, too. RC Pro Am, Blades of Steel, Double Dribble. WooHoo!! You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Hmmm....in Georgia....We call it a Storm. Ya, but is it a monsoon, a typhoon or a hurricane? You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

8 words: George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine. I just got one a couple weeks ago for my birthday and I LOVE it. Already made T-Bone steaks with southwestern BBQ sauce, Grilled chicken with vegetables, and Thai Salmon steaks. I have never even attempted to cook fish before and the salmon steaks came out great, from frozen to ready to serve in about 15 minutes, too. I really enjoy cooking, it's just that usually when I get home from work, I am too depressed from being at a job that I hate for eight hours to get up the energy to make a big lavish meal. But next semester I am taking a cooking class at my local community college. Should be a lot of fun. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Ok, I don't know why but this is something that has always bugged me. Noreaster Is it really THAT hard to say Northeastern??? Sorry, don't mean to take it out on you personally, just something I always found a little annoying. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

I played the trumpet from fourth grade till 8th grade, then got a cornet (same thing, pretty much) and played that through high school. At college I was in the Pep Band for the first two years. Haven't played since then. Also played the bari sax in beginning band my senior year of high school. That was a lot of fun because I already knew all about music from my trumpet playing, so once I learned how to play the sax, I would just spend all the time funking out the bass lines that I was supposed to be playing. Also had a badass ratchet solo in a song once. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!
