fool 0 #1 September 27, 2002 As time goes on, and a person takes time to reflect, he looks back on the person he once was, and realizes changes have taken place unknowingly to even himself. Myself for instance...When I first became addicted to this sport I said "I wouldn't bother dating someone who doesn't skydive...they just wouldn't understand." Now I look at myself, a little more than 100 jumps later, and realize how shallow that is, and would gladly date someone who doesn't skydive...but she sure as hell better be able to pack!

nacmacfeegle 0 #2 September 27, 2002 "and realizes changes have taken place unknowingly to even himself" Yeah, your voice deepens, hairs grow in unusual places, and girls get interesting.... You'll know when you find a 'keeper'. My sweetie has tolerated my adventurous lifestyle for over 10 years, without joining in that much. Of course she complains, and some concessions must be made, I get to go jumping, climbing etc with my hoodlum chums and I don't expect her to pack. Seems fair to me..-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

WFFC 1 #3 September 27, 2002 I get my kitchen pass one day each weekend, generally Saturday, and for the duration of the WFFC. She went along for the WFFC in 2001 and we did manage to take her up on a tandem (her second). This weekend she has her stuff going on so I managed to get out of the house for the weekend. A pampered chef party on Saturday and a candle party on sunday. Run Forrest Run!----- ~~~Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cajones 0 #4 September 27, 2002 Thank goodness for wuffos! Who else would have a "candle party?" I don't know how it works... But if it does - don't mess with it! Glad you can get out for the whole weekend - hope you get good weather. I've dated wuffos - never works out. I've always said "This is what I'm doing - you can do whatever you want." No more compromises for me. I can't imagine anything more perfect than a woman I can do everything with. No explaining why I'm going to the DZ (again?!?). No explaining why I want to climb that mountain, or what I saw/heard/felt/experienced before/during/after my climb. No excuses for wanting to spend 30 minutes packing for a BASE jump, instead of watching TV. I've grown and changed by choices. Every day I look for the signs that show me how to evolve. I have had some of the best days of my life - very happy - single and unattached. The joy that I have and share today is the result of choices to follow the signs put there for me - even when it was more difficult than other paths... The laws of physics are strictly enforced.
