    I already have my a license, but took almost a decade off from jumping. I just finished going through a modified AFF (1, 5, 7) and have been cleared to get back in the sky. When I was jumping before, I only racked up about 50 jumps so I’m definitely not the most experienced jumper out there. while I’m technically cleared to get back to it, I want to be a bit cautious and I’m approaching it as if I just finished AFF for the first time and don’t have my a license yet and I’m looking to do a bunch of coach jumps until I’m really comfortable in my skills enough to start jumping with others again. anyone have any recommendations for coaches in DeLand?

    Better yet have just one microphone and drop it between them for a Hockey style face off.

    That would be overturning Roe V Wade. That was the situation before 1973. Individual State laws.

    Glad you're so sure of the outcome. Perhaps, like 4 years ago you'll just skip voting because there's no chance Trump can win.

    The debates won't change anyone's minds as to whom they will support in November. That being said the next debate should be held in the old $64,000 question studio. Both candidates in soundproof booths and the mod has control of the mics. Maybe even a shock collar on each candidate.

    Erlang calculations always leave the customer on hold for the longest period that the accountants think they can get away with. Knowing full well that a percentage of them will just give up.

    Bugeye Bobsters look good. A dozen other companies offer prescription goggles for motorcycling, bicycling and other high-speed sports. I have worn Wiley-X prescription goggles for the last decade. Most prescription sports goggles already come with an elastic strap that routes around the back of your head. Perhaps you should get a pair of bicycling-specific prescription goggles and wear them for a few weeks of cycling before wearing them on a jump. Just remember that skydiving exposes goggles to far more wind than the fastest bicycle. Your dilemma reminds me of a pilot emergency parachute customer who owned two airplanes and four pairs of glasses. One airplane had a nose-wheel (CJ-6) so landed almost flat while his other airplane was a tail-dragger (Globe Swift) which landed nose-high. He had prescription reading glasses and prescription driving glasses. He had two more pairs with dark lenses and said that the most frustrating part was when he was flaring for landing - at dusk - and suddenly remembered that he was wearing the wrong par of glasses! Hah! Hah! Fianlly, when flaring for landing, keep your eyes on the far end of the runway/landing field.

    I did not watch it. I knew better. I waiting for the morning reviews. The biggest take away I have heard is this: "Stand back and stand by," Nothing more needs to be said.

    After an hour, I couldn't stand any more so I went outside and saw a spectacular meteor! I hope that was not some kind of ominous metaphor.

    Many of them are racist, and few actually have a high-school understanding of the Constitution -- very few could pass the immigrant citizenship written test.

    I’m surprised no one has posted since the debate began, so I’ll start. I was impressed by how Joe Biden kept his cool. I wasn’t surprised by the president’s behavior (but was disgusted). And though I couldn’t stand to listen continuously (had to keep coming back to it), I was pleased that Chris Wallace at least made a valiant attempt to hold them both accountable to the rules (one needed it more than the other, of course). If this happens in the next debate, I would like to see the moderator just turn off the offender’s microphone and allow the candidate who holds the floor to have their time uninterrupted. So — discuss!

    I like the concept that they have Ivanka in the fraud and tax evasion scheme for at least $747,622. Certainly wouldn't want her to miss out on the family's 10-30 year visit to Rikers Island.

    A favourite of mine that was taught to me by an Australian jumper and just refuses to get old: 'I hope you go in, cunt'.

    Hypocrisy is exactly the point. I’ve never heard Biden accuse those who did serve of cowardice. I’ve never heard Biden claim to be the biggest and best supporter of the military or the most knowledgeable person alive on military matters. Ive never heard Biden say he felt like a great soldier or refer to his personal Vietnam. I have nothing against anyone who dodged the draft per se, but Trump sure as hell deserves the criticism for it in light of everything else he’s ever publicly said about the military to advance his political career.

    Do you want a mental defective who will listen to the experts he surrounds himself with, or a mental defective who thinks he knows more and is more intelligent than anyone else and will do what his gut tells him, regardless of what his experts advise? Its not even a trick question. Both choices suck. One is fucking stupid.

    Ah, yes; The American non-profit group who is exporting idiocy to those countries facing idiocy shortages.
