I don't know if you would consider them rituals, but I have things that I am weird about. I always wear the same shoes. I tried wearing different shoe on like my 10th jump, but I was too nervous to jump in different shoes. And I have to eat a mint...I use to smoke so the mints now replace that action.

Hurloon - I started a diet a year ago this month. My objective was to get to 200 so I could go do a tandem. I didn't think that it would actually happen...been on so my diets, etc. My starting weight was 276. On May 19th, I did my first tandem. I worked my ass off, literally, to get there. It was one of the proudest moments in my life. I lost the weight by myself without surgery, just a ton of running. After my first tandem I knew that it was something I loved. I signed up for an AFF course and haven't looked back. Skydiving has changed my life. The way I look at everything is so much different now. Keep up the great work. Your reward of your first tandem is worth it....plus the healthier lifestyle is great!

When I first read it my thought was...no that cant be what she is talking about. But oh yeah! Thanks from bringing up a great mental imagine to get me through my day!

It sounds like FL is going to be the best place for me. I just worry about traveling so far on my own. The time frame I was looking at is right after Christmas. I read some where that Z-Hills has a Christmas boogie. That sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

Dang it! I forgot again!!! And I had a good rant about sex.

I was planning on making a trip down to Florida in the winter with a couple of friends to go skydiving. That trip has been cancelled due to injuries. I still want to go so I'll be making the trip by myself. I'm a new jumper and am worried about all the new jumper things. (i.e. will I be able to find people to jump with) Any recommendations as to where to go…it doesn’t have to be Florida, just somewhere warm?

Towerrat....natures jerky....that is too funny! Seriously had me laughing out loud at work. Thanks!

Surprisingly...I am not in the same situation as you. I must have balanced out the water - alcohol ratio last night. I am sleepy beyond belief, but not hungover. I will be proud of myself if I make it til noon. Lets start thinking of excuses for me to escape.

Come on now...it was a funny thread title. And I think he is kind of cute....so I encourage the "pikey" bastard.

Andy's always make me laugh. I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I clicked on the one from today.

Relationship....there needs to be a relationship?

2 times... 2001 - Out of my parents house to my own house in Caldwell ID 2006 - Caldwell ID - Boise ID for a different house I am selling that house now. Don't really know what my plan is. But I didn't really go through the early 20's in the normal fashion. Now I just want to travel for a bit and see where I settle.

So true. I will rephrase my first comment. Dang it! Why are some of the good site blocked from work? I am still waiting for the day that they block this site. I do think that might be the day I walk out of here. A girl needs to sit and pass the time by reading posts on dz.com. What else am I suppose to do?
