Over time, your kill line may shrink enough to where the PC does not inflate properly. That can be a source of this problem. Not necessarily the PC itself. That is another item to add to regular scrutiny. In my case, I was opening at a higher altitude one time, I dropped a shoulder and allowed the air to sweep it off my back. If I had been lower, I wouldn't have wasted the time. Also, the PC did come off my back, but the low shoulder gave me poor body position and I was thrown into some major line twists. I then had to spend time to kick out of them.

I'm against universal healthcare because...
happythoughts replied to Skyrad's topic in Speakers Corner
Very simple. People send their Fed taxes in and the Fed govt gives a part of that back in education, roads, etc. If your state doesn't do what the SC says, they cut the funding and effectively close your schools. They have run over the backs of Fla govt so many times that the footprints won't come out of the laundry. That is why nobody tries to change legislation at the state level and just builds a SC case. Get all 50 states at once. -

You're sure they said "joke", right?

It is for the days when they are sharing some "us time". (I made that up, but it makes sense as a reason for buying one of those shirts.)

Everybody has to identify what matters to them. Then, they should find someone with a similar definition of the good/bad relationship. They should stick to their version. If one violates their agreement, that's a problem. If someone wants to change the agreed-upon definition, they should do it in advance. The bidness of everyone else is none of my bidness.

A blonde and her husband are lying in bed Listening to the next door neighbor's dog. It has been in the backyard barking for hours and hours.. The blonde jumps up out of bed and says, "I've had enough of this". She goes downstairs. The blonde finally comes back up to bed And her husband says "The dog is still barking, What have you been doing?" The blonde says, "I put the dog in our backyard, let's see how THEY like it!

A what? Esthetician? I'd like to be involved in the clinical trials. "Yes, I know I am a man, but I am a CPE. I am applying this in a strictly professional manner. ... small circles."

You've heard of the "15 minutes of fame"? This is the "15 minutes of fashion". Like a Halloween costume that is fun until it starts to itch. LED eyelashes Who knows? Anything can become a hit. Remember Cher and her eyelashes? They looked like they were extracted from the chest of an Alaskan brown bear.

At Monroe, I remember being weathered out and they finally sent the base up for a get-to-know-you jump. We were standing outside the hangar and I saw them exit. "Is there another dz nearby?" "No, why?" "The base just exited a mile away." (The cameraman had leaned out to check for overcast, stood up and nodded the ok. People took it as an exit signal and ran out.) On the later attempt, there were around 80 people committed, but two days before the event, the weather forecast was for lots of rain. That is why only 36 showed up on Saturday. (Perfect weather on Saturday, did 6 jumps. Crap on Sunday).

the couple suit maybe they're spend toooo much time together.

Puppies and the Boy-bands are "cute". They are pleasant, attractive, cuddly, but undemanding and non-aggressive. They give you love without expectation. In other words, either neutered or somehow "friends". Only non-adults are happy with "cute".

Jane (Lambdin) Orlando Memorial at Z-Hills
happythoughts replied to RogerRamjet's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
A lot of people at Zhills knew Jane. I am sure it will be well attended. She often rode her bike out to visit. -
When I was in college, I went to a psychic for a psychology paper. She said that she had an image of a tall, stern man. "Did I have any dead male relatives?" Perhaps. She had an image and I was supposed to leap at the chance to fill in the blanks. The more information I had, the more vague images and discussion it produced. "We really made progress today. Perhaps I could come back for another session." It made an interesting 5-page psych paper, but it didn't convince me. Here we are, 17,000 posts into this (second) thread. There is the constant perusing of internet sites for small items of disputable value and posting them here to be expanded on. Of course, the current item "will break this case wide open". New excitement. People are complaining that they are upset about being trolled. A self-inflicted wound. "Doc, it hurts when I do this." "Don't do that."

If you tell them what items are incorrect, they just become a more convincing liar. If you ignore it, it is a community service. They will continue to expose themselves and allow more people to recognize them for what they are. If I want to end the conversation, I just say, "That really sounds interesting. If I do a tandem this weekend, will you go with me?"

2 Otter Hybrid Attempt
happythoughts replied to skyflychris's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
clicky Select - Skydives during the TDS Boogie There was a nice warm-up 10-way, 5 pts. The biggest hybrid was 15-way. A transition to the hybrid on the second point. Fall rate differences on the third point piece turns. -

I wonder if it has a good trailer hitch. I'd like to be able to pull my boat.

Keys News And those weenies in Calif can't even text while driving. In Fla, shaving your hooha isn't illegal. (In fact, I encourage it) It gets better... ...and she shouldn't have been driving. Oh, and nobody should have been driving that car. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, The Day Before. And... setting the record for the shortest time to a probation violation, since the day before... ...and the closer. She was driving, with her ex, to see her b/f when she was shaving, and violating most of the available laws. The Aristocrats...

Ruh-roh. White girls won the step contest
happythoughts replied to happythoughts's topic in Speakers Corner
clicky ...well... at least until "further review" discovered a "scoring discrepancy". Uh... sure. "co-winners". An amazing performance. The Youtube video shown on the link above. The ZTA team, gracious in the face of racism -

I know a woman with a French poodle named Figaro. It is hysterical to hear her call it.

Invisibility. I'd like to be able to go to the grocery store and be invisible. That way, crazy people wouldn't block the aisle with their carts so that I am forced to talk to them. "Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just lost in my thoughts today. There has been so much going on. My niece..."
