skymama 37 #1 June 17, 2002 At my dz, we don't have jump tickets, we have accounts. So, when I go there, I deposit a random amount on my account for what I think I'll use that day, and usually I'll have a few bucks left over. On Saturday, I walked up to the counter, and was ready to plunk down my money, thinking I only had about $12 left on my account. I asked how much I had, and was told $52. Huh??? I figured that either I forgot how much I had deposited last week (the mind is the first to go!), or that someone had made a mistake, and they'd catch it eventually. I mentioned to my jumping buddy how strange that was, but we were heading out the door to manifest, and it was quickly forgotten.Well, this morning I found out that I didn't forget, and there wasn't a mistake. A sweetheart of a guy from the forums put money on my account for my birthday! I've been smiling all day since I found out. Sometimes the most unexpected things, are the best things. It's also reminded me that I need to forget about the dolts of the world, and appreciate the friends that I have, even if they are across the country, and I've never even met them yet!Thanks, Lummy. I know you're disappointed I didn't get sung to, but I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. AndreaI'm high as a kiteI just mightStop and check you out.
