lawrocket 3 #1 September 26, 2003 Seeing these threads leads me to this question. I've been in both situations. I think that my current one, where there's been months of great weather but no money to jump is worse than all those bad weather days I had when I was fiscally irresponsible. Convince me otherwise...

mouth 0 #3 September 26, 2003 i agree having money and good weather but being physically unable to jump SUCKS. I'm so glad I'm back. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #4 September 26, 2003 Well, that one is obvious! I don't think there's any room for argument on that one. It'd be a landslide! I left it out on purpose due to the suffering of other able-bodied blokes and birds. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #5 September 26, 2003 Not being able to jump, no matter what sucks. But at least if you have $$ you can go drink your sorrows away. Or shop, or bowl or something else stupid that fills time. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bodypilot90 0 #7 September 26, 2003 I'd rather have jump money and bad weather cause then you can save it for when the weather is good.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dterrick 0 #8 September 26, 2003 There's Lots and Lots of ways I can spend money when I'm not jumping. In fact, a more accurate description might be 'there's lots of things I DON'T spend money on when I jump'. Further, you've not considered the nasty consequences of Seasonal Affective Disorder in climates like mine where jumping from November to mid-April means 1) snow and 2) either 2 hours of daylight, mostly obscured by cloud or 8 hours of sun and minus farkin 43!! It makes us do silly things like winter jump and para-ski I'm not scared to hop n pop ... I actually quite like it ... gives me lots of practise at high performance landing an 11 year old Raven at 1:1 ...God help me when I have money for a REAL canopy -Dave Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
