I just did my water training this weekend, after a 94 degree day in a nice cool lake. Not a bad experience, but I was out of that harness faster than you can blink. Freaky. ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

Hello! I live near Seattle (south) and just recently got back from a trip to Orcas. You can take a bus from the airport to Anacortes, this will get you to the Ferry. If I remember right it takes like 45minutes or an hour or something on the ferry, but the trip to Anacortes from Sea-Tac would be longer than that. I would think that getting to Orcas via public transportation could easily take you 4-5 hours. I would rent a car. Is there jumping there? When I was there I couldn't even find a place to buy a CD! Any CD at all! Oh, except like "Naturesongs" and stuff. M ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

How many jumps before you purchased your own rig?
Biscuit replied to Skylark's topic in Safety and Training
I just bought my first rig last month. A saucy little (or not so little, it has a 190 in it) Infinity I like to call "Red Lightening". ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy -
Thanks for the clue! I'll start looking... :) ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

Hi, Does anyone know the name of the song (and who the artist is) in the song that they show during the wingsuit base jump and the freeflying on "Standard Issue", the video that Jimmy Halliday did a while back? I've tried to figure it out on my own but have had no luck. This is my last hope!

I remember watching a girl cutaway a perfectly good Manta over California City because she "could not get her slider to go back up." That happened at my DZ too, it's funny to see this has happened more than once! ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

I'm very new, and would like to pack for others one day, so the idea is I always pack and that way I get experience. I've had friends watch me pack their rigs to get tips and have them tell me what I am doing wrong, right, etc. However this weekend on the last jump I said screw it, I was tired, I know I'm supposed to be learning, but screw it. I'd found $20 in my pocket, paid the packer, and curled up in shame in the back room and read Skydiving while he packed it- hoping no one would notice. ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

I work in customer service and respond to emails and letters written by all kinds of people about all of things. I feel like some people just simply fall into the category of Jackass. This man obviously does not know enough about how the sport works to make the judgements he made. He found himself a good excuse to quit and go paddling. ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

I recommend OXYCLEAN or one of it's many immitators. My boyfriend somehow dragged his rig through the mud last year, it's part white. Right after that he got in a car accident and wasn't able to use it until recently, so I cleaned it up for him. All it took was making a nice paste with the oxyclean and about 30 minutes of loving scrubbing. OXYCLEAN. The stain specialist! It changed my life. ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

Hey, I also didn't watch last year but got sucked in this year (so ashamed). JOSH- Seems really nice which is probably why he's still there but he's really not the greatest singer ever. KIMBERLY- Just pisses me off. Can't explain it. She seems smug. CLAY- Love him to pieces but damn it, he'sa DISNEY singer not a pop star. But I'm sure he'll make a lot of money in the next animated feature. RUBEN- He's the man.

Telling your SKYDIVING girlfriend how much she rocks
Biscuit replied to GumbyGirl's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hey, My boyfriend is kind of the same way. I am perfectly comfortable asking leading questions however, ie "Aren't you so proud of me" or "Don't these booties make me look cute" and if he doesn't seem to be getting the message I just come right out and tell him I'm a badass and he needs to worship me for a while.

I made my first tandem with my tax return last year to shake things up a bit. I completed the static line course and have been off student status for a month & a half now, and today I'm buy my first rig! I can hardly believe I made it through the first 5 jumps of the static line course because I'm a big wussie - but now I'm hooked! Go figure! ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

I went to this great club in Milan once where the "Mirror" in the mens room was actually a 2 wa mirror where the ladies in the women's rooms could see right in. It was hillarious. You'd see these guys going in and primping, picking their noses, doing little dances... it was VERY FUNNY. I would love to replicate that in the USA. Is it illegal? ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy

This is close to home for me this week, pardon my passion... This is a slightly different situation, but I just started jumping, my boyfriend has been jumping a while. I asked him to teach me how to pack so I wouldn't have to hit up any of his friends. This was not a good choice. He was trying to be helpful but couldn't help doing everything for me, I was like, "MOVE! Let me close the D***** thing!" to no avail... it took twice as long as going with someone else. If your girfriend is insane enough to want to be your packer, you might want to have someone else teach her so she doesn't choke you.

I had 2 static lines 5 PRCP's 1 5 second delay 1 10 second 1 15 second (failed backflip exit) 1 20 second (successful backflip) and 14 more jumps until that magic day when things got just a little cheaper. ****************************************** The last mosquito that bit me had to book into the Betty Ford Clinic. -Patsy
