kelel01 1 #1 December 29, 2003 My family is a trip, just to let you know. There are 4 kids on my Dad's side, and the families that correspond to each kid could not be more different, except that most of them are white trash. But they have some similarities, like the two questions they all asked me at some point in time during the weekend: 1) Of course, "Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" (After I showed them my one and only video of me in freefall, one minute long). AND 2) Either, "Why aren't you married yet?" or , "So, when are gonna get married?". Ok, m***** f*****, do you see a man here with me? How about if you just be at the Episcopal church in Marietta on June 6, 2008, and I'll be there with a man or without. But you have to buy me a phat present, no matter what. Sorry, just venting, although I also think it's hysterical. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycutie 0 #2 December 29, 2003 Quote"Why aren't you married yet?" or , "So, when are gonna get married?". I hate that!!!! Kinda makes me feel like freakin' Bridget Jones or something.... I'm invited to a friend's wedding this Saturday and I'm the only single (please read: very happy single) gal in the group... I bet I'll get that question a lot this weekend. MEN: you can't live with 'em, you can't shoot 'em, but you can act psychotic and keep 'em off balance. HISPA #10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheenster303 0 #4 December 29, 2003 Unfortunately I had to endure the same pain from my family who came up from Alabama this weekend. (yes Alabama.....very loud rednecks) They kept asking "So when we gonna git ya hitched?!" They kept talking about some guy named Billy Ray that would be just "perfect" for me. It was so outrageous I couldn't help but laugh. I'm only 19 for godsakes! But then again most of them got "hitched at 16. So where did get that June 6, 2008 date from, Kel? Been doing emode.com quizzes lately? I'm so funny I crack my head open! P.M.S. #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #5 December 29, 2003 You know, I did take that EMode quiz awhile ago, and I think it was for June 6, 2005. I'm just trying to be more realistic with my 2008 figure. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #6 December 29, 2003 My sister has all this figured out. She has a nice girl picked out for me who will settle me down, destroy any enjoyment that may be occuring, and make me quit skydiving. That is what would be better for me apparently. Nothing like a fat house payment and someone elses credit card bills to get you back on the track to overwork. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #7 December 29, 2003 Dear God, I can't handle anyone else's credit card bills! I need to find myself a nice, rich man with no debt, who can help me pay off mine. Just kidding. I got myself into a lot of debt, but now it's almost paid off. Coulda used a nice, rich man about 2-3 years ago, though! Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheenster303 0 #8 December 29, 2003 Yeah I was thinking that 2008 was little far off. So I had to go and see what mine was. August 12, 2006. I'll be 22! Not too shabby. But I am not....I repeat I AM NOT......going to marry a guy named Billy Ray! And if I do, please someone just shoot me in the head.I'm so funny I crack my head open!

happythoughts 0 #9 December 29, 2003 Currently, I am a contractor. So when I am not working, I take off time and goof around. My family regards this as irresponsibility. I can do that because I don't buy a lot of expensive stuff. Low-key lifestyle. They figure that some solid consistent bills would end that. A lot of bills would keep me working and worrying like the rest of their miserable selves. Of course, being broke constantly will definitely prolong my singleness. That's ok. I'm having a wonderful time, even if no one else understands. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #11 December 29, 2003 I had similar discussions with my family, but it went differently. They thought it was really cool I was doing tandems now and a couple of them really want to go with me on a tandem. One of them actually will be (since his wife, my cousin, bought him a gift certificate for a jump). They were also asking when the wedding was...since I have a real serious girlfriend.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

happythoughts 0 #18 December 29, 2003 I think Skydive Miami is in Homestead still. It's almost the same as Miami, except instead of the beach, it is next to the everglades. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,150 #19 December 29, 2003 I solved problems like that by moving to a different continent from the rest of the family.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #20 December 29, 2003 Sweet! I can learn to do some "swamp swooping"! Sounds like my dream come true. Maybe Skydive SoBe is more what I'm looking for . . . man, I need to move to FL. I hate cold weather. Except that my aforementioned crazy family all lives in FL. Oh, well. But my Mom's side lives there, too, and they're not scary. And Kallend, just looking at your avatar-- did you move to a different CONTINENT or a different PLANET? Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZL60 0 #21 December 29, 2003 SoBe is on Lake Okeechobie - has even more Aligators than the 'glades.. awesome view though almost as good as SD Miami Who said Kiwis can't fly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelel01 1 #24 December 29, 2003 So we could invent a new sport-- skydiving/alligator wrestling. Swoop the swamp, then wrestle the gators. Hmmm, sounds like an idea for Jackass. So what does a swamp look like from 13,000 feet? Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
