Hallur 0 #4 November 28, 2002 Practice your body position on the floor in front of a mirror, remember to point your toes and press down, if your legs are flapping when jumping you dont press down enough . Be all relaxed lying on your stomach on the floor in front of the mirror, change from just lying there to the right bodyposition(the box) over and over again. Do it 20-30 times. Then your muscels remember what to do when in jump. When I stop skydiving is the day that I die!!! Hallur Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My daugher was 18 months old when I first met the man I would marry...He eventually adopted her and has been so incredible to her.. She's 13 now and boy does she love her Daddy..

jumpervali 2 #7 November 28, 2002 If your having "happy feet" problems try this. Lay on the floor where you can put your toes on a chair seat. Practice your arch and press your toes on the chair till they make your body tip forward slightly. This will make you use the top muscle group of your thighs. If your doing arch practice without something to press on you'll be training your legs to pull up "negative leg input." The biggest thing to focus on during your dive is to relax and have fun. Just smile during the whole dive :-) jumpervali AFF-I-02 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyThomas 0 #9 November 29, 2002 Hey Suz, ever seen the show "Married with Children"? I don't think Al Bundy was too wrong in that show. Raising kids isn't easy. What if you had a child like me, who was completely different than anything you had ever seen before? Maybe good, maybe bad. Maybe I would cause you to get gray hair before your time? Married with children is not everyone's dream. Maybe yours, but not mine. Think of all the extra responsibility that comes from not only marriage, but children. Too much for me to handle, at this juncture. Maybe instead of being sad that you are alone, be happy that you are still free? Smile more, the right guy may be out there looking for you. Just try to stay happy. That's the main thing in life, or so I heard. Peace, Thomas "If I never try, I'll never fail."---Crazy Thomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the main thing in life, or so I heard. Peace, Thank you so much. I know exactly where your coming from. I am extremely happy with myself. I am truly happy for my sister. I just think she should get to know the guy a bit more, you know? I just dont want her to get hurt. And I know that you've got to experience things to learn...but I just love my sister so much. I am a bit jealous, but that's natural...I dont show it too often, and never to my sister. Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suz 0 #11 November 29, 2002 QuoteThat is admirable of your sister.. Yes it's a wonderful thing of her to do. I dont know if I'd do it myself. I've never been in the same situation, to find out. There's alot more to the story. Her fiance's parents is against them adopting the child out, as they are religious. I'm not sure if she's been pressured into this, as she hasn't told me that she's going for custody...I found out from my other sister. I guess it was a shock when I found out, and I literally posted the thread as soon as I found out. but like you said, it's a admirable thing for her to do, I just hope she understands what she's about hurdle. Then again, it could be the best thing that ever happened to her, hey? Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suz 0 #12 November 29, 2002 ***The biggest thing to focus on during your dive is to relax and have fun. Just smile during the whole dive :-)*** Ha Ha Ha! Sorry. I find that funny, because I wanna scream everytime I jump...but I can't, cause I have to remember to check my altimeter, and do dummy pulls, etc. This is actually my third jump, my first was just a fun tandem. Man I screamed so much on that jump, even after the canopy opened, I still screamed everytime we turned...and coz I was so new to skydiving, I didnt realise that everyone on the ground could hear me. ( when I was screaming after the canopy opened, of course! I don't think I have lungs for people to hear me 14000 feet in the air.) Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jraf 0 #13 November 29, 2002 Suz baby, there ain't nothin' that an automatic pistol will not solve. That includes both your sister's boufriend as well as your AFF instructors. So think positive!

jraf 0 #15 November 29, 2002 Easiest gun to hide in your jump suit is a .380 Walther PPK. Remember it has only 7 rounds, so bring two spare clips to have real fun. In order to prepare the DZ staff for proper reactions I suggest shoting a tandem pasanger (or someone from manifest) beforehand. It does wonders to the moral fiber of the skydiving staff.jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui. Muff #3275 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skystorm 0 #17 November 29, 2002 Suz, I'm 25 and have no intention of marrying in the near future. Yes I have a steady b/f, but we're still have a lot of things to sort out. I think my mom gave up on us to marry and have kids. We are four daughters : the eldest is happily married with 2 childred, the second is a lesbian, the third is a field player and I am just too scared of marriage. Gene Police: "YOU!!

suz 0 #18 December 1, 2002 Wow! Sounds like there's never a dull moment in your family!! Are you the youngest? Coz I am, and I'm 22 and I am the only one that's had boyfriend after boyfriend. my other two sisters, obviously found the first guy and married them. But!!! My time will come, although I dont really believe that marriage is necessary. If you love somebody, that should be enough. I feel like marriage is just a way of saying, " you're mine and there's nothing you can do about it" Dont get me wrong....before everyone starts posting abuse at me...I believe in celebrating love....I'd throw a huge party for that anyday, but why do you need to sign a piece of paper, and exchange rings, for the sake of love? Isn't the love enough? Don't bother me, I'm living happily ever after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 0 #20 December 1, 2002 Quote although I dont really believe that marriage is necessary. I 100% agree. I was married once, but due to the fact that I can't have kids and he wanted them, we ended up going in different directions. Which was for the best, we are still friends, and email back and forth every once in awhile, but he is much happier now with his new wife, and if I'm correct they have #1 on the way. On the other hand Derek and I have been together a year and a half now, and I will admit I was surprised when I realized how important a part of my life he is, everything is just better when he is around. Neither of us want to get married or have children (well actually I'll stick with dogs, it's legal to stick them in a cage when they starts to bug me ), we are perfectly happy the way things are right now. Although my family (who I no longer talk to) thinks I'm being selfish for not getting married and having kids.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #21 December 1, 2002 Quoteone good thing about having it on paper is benifits with diffrent employers and insurance matters............ It's getting easier though. Derek is on my insurance as my domestic partner, I know that was built in for same sex "marriges", but my employer allows it for traditional non-married couples.Fly it like you stole it!

I see your point there...that's very logical. And it stinks... It just forces everyone to marry, if they are in a relationship, where they want to share furniture, houses, cars...babies....But!!! I'm planning on moving to Antartica soon...I believe there's a population of sweet F@#K ALL, Why Antartica, you ask? Because it's HOT here, you could seriously crack an egg on the sidewalk, and it'll cook....wonder how long it'll take to cook up some bacon? Hey at least if I move to Antartica, landing you rig in snow won't hurt as much, and if it did...it'd go numb soon enough!Hey...can you jump in snow? That's gotta be a new post...Who's jumped in snow? that'd be so pretty!!! The view would be gorgeous...that's a new goal for me!!! Ok, I seriously have smoked way to much pot, and now I'm dribbling.

CrazyThomas 0 #25 December 1, 2002 Suz, You still are afraid of skydiving? Good. Keep that fear, and enjoy it. Look at me. I don't care about anything. I don't fear anything. That does not do me any good. Like someone else said, there's nothing a pistol won't solve. Except I think suicide is wrong. And I am pretty sure God will not let humans off that easy. Enjoy the fear. Once you lose fear, it isn't so fun anymore. Skydiving is relaxing for me, because BASE jumping is pretty stressful. Really want to shit yourself? Try hucking a 200 foot tower, freefall. WOW, that's a rush. Peace, Thomas "You have to let go to accelerate."---Thomas M. Mauch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
