  1. Okay, but you asked for it. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  2. Why, is that the song in your head? Edit: Dropdeded, the same damn thing happened to me. Ivan, do you trust your lightsaber against a mob of surly skydivers with that damn song in their heads? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  3. I had no idea that S-turns were such bad juju. I guess I'll stop! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  4. do you have running through your head that you can't get out? I have "Right Now" by Van Halen. I blame it on the Square 1 banner ad. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  5. That doesn't do me any good. Cutaway has been over since 11 and Dropzone is more than halfway through, here. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  6. I'm sure that, skydivers being what they are, you could arrange some parties at the dz after a day of diving. You'd probably do pretty well, too!
  7. I laugh every time I read this! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  8. AggieDave and TitaniumLegs have both been sacked. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  9. And then they're going and blaming it on congestion in their ear canals. Surely they can come up with better excuses than that... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  10. An update: I tasted the batch the other day and boy was I impressed. This happens every time I sample the beer before conditioning. I get super pessimistic about the batch, thinking I'm going to hate it, but when it comes time to take a taste it's heavenly. Oh, and it no longer tastes like Scotch Ale. I'm assuming that I was tasting unfermented sugar (i.e. it could have stood to sit in the carboy longer ... I had a feeling it could have). Now the beer is rich, dark, and bitter. Absolutely lovely.

  11. I was so impressed the first time I smacked into a lightning bug while driving down the road... A glowing streak on my windshield. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  12. Try clearing the cookies on your browser. I'm seeing a canopy with an american flag behind it. Is this your new one? A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  13. For the record, Snopes says yes. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  14. I could forgive anyone for anything if they like mead. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  15. You're absolutely right, Jumpergirl. What I meant by that (and it didn't come across at all) is that even a loud "NO" is often too severe for these dogs. IGs are fragile animals. They break very easily. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  16. On your hand? or... OUCH A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  17. Just a note on Italian Greyhounds for anyone interested in buying one. They are cute, fun, affectionate little dogs, but they are extremely needy and are notoriously difficult to housetrain. If you own an Italian Greyhound, do understand that it is a dog that you may well have to take everywhere with you, as they are prone to separation anxiety, that will demand that you let it sleep with you, usually under the covers, will probably have accidents in the house, no matter how hard you work at housebreaking, will be absolutely miserable in colder climates during the winter, and can ABSOLUTELY NOT be punished severely. These are awesome little dogs, but like skydiving, are not for everyone. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  18. I think Milton should have hidden it in his desk, myself. That's what I would have done, anyway.
  19. Really? Why should your jump numbers matter? Has he ever asked you not to do other things without him? That sounds like a warning bell to me... A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  20. Hi Mia, Welcome to the forums. I'm wondering what part of Michigan you're from. There are some great dropzones in Michigan, even if they are seasonal... You may want to go ahead and fill out your profile with some more info about yourself. It's nice to know who we're speaking to! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  21. Hey, glad you had fun! You're right, there is a lot of hurry-up-and-wait when you're going through student jumps, but when you start making fun jumps, you'll find that you don't need to wait nearly as long. Sometimes you find that you're in a hurry to finish a pack job so you can get on the next load! A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  22. Well, packing any canopy will be a bit more complicated when you have a bunch of people standing around heckling you! But I did just fine. I even took it home and unpacked/packed it a few times for practice. Better to spend the time at home getting the hang of packing it than spending time at the dz which could be better spent not missing loads. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  23. Ahem...Ahem A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
  24. I'm really bad about remembering to eat when I'm at the dz. I get swept up in the jumps and forget to eat! Sometimes I forget to keep hydrated, but not often. A One that Isn't Cold is Scarcely a One at All
