  1. Texas is easy if you remember this: "Y'all" is singular and "All y'all" is plural! Bwahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!~ ***************** Attitude is everything!
  2. Just ask him if he wants to buy a duck... ***************** Attitude is everything!
  3. Welcome to the club! I'm 103, wear from 10-14 lbs of weight and can hang with the big boys now. I made my own weightbelt, just took a look at the popular one online and spent about $23 (excluding weights, which I bought at a dive shop) for materials. It actually looks "professional"! Also, I have weight pockets that were retro-fitted onto the back of my rig. PM me if you want details on either. Purple Skies, Donna ***************** Attitude is everything!
  4. Ah, you're just a baby! And in very good company!! I've got three years on ya. We ROCK! ***************** Attitude is everything!
  5. Bwahahhaahaaa! Excellent response, Ryoder! Hey, Treeman, fear is not fatal, fear will save your life and that's what is roiling around in your brain when the door opens. Harness your fear. Breathe in, breathe out. Ever see the movie The Ghost and The Darkness? The hunter guy, Michael Douglas, turns to Val Kilmer's character and says/asks "Can you control your fear, can you?" If you're gonna skydive, you bloody well better!! ***************** Attitude is everything!
  6. I, too, sometimes "hover" on final because I'm working on an accuracy landing, a technique I learned from a former member of The Screaming Eagles. HOWEVER, once under canopy I always keep my head on a swivel. Always. We have lots of wide open space at our dz so it's silly to fight over a small oval of pea gravel!! ***************** Attitude is everything!

    MRE's

    OMG, that is AWESOME...OORAH! My daughter used to beg to take MRE Spam in her lunch when we lived on CamPen (years ago). I told her if I did that I'd be reported for child abuse~!~ But I did relent. Actually, the chicken ala king wasn't too bad... Wait til I tell her what your friend did to his girlfriend. That is so damn funny, man, so damn funny!!!! Us, is she still his girlfriend? Has she fixed him a 'special' meal yet? Heh heh heh.. ***************** Attitude is everything!
  8. Buc buc bucaaaaaaaaaawwwww~!~ ***************** Attitude is everything!
  9. There's a dz in Toledo, Oregon? ??? I learned to fly planes at Newport...a long time ago. Please pm me if you have info on Toledo dz. Thanks! ***************** Attitude is everything!
  10. Y'all bloody well better return for that special SCR ceremony you've earned!! We enjoyed having you here and WHEN you return, fly into Austin and I will personally pick you up at the airport in my fine automobile and transport you to SSM!! We liked you guys, too! ***************** Attitude is everything!
  11. It's simply a sanitation issue. Think about it, think about where hands touch the roll...then install it OVER. ***************** Attitude is everything!
  12. Don't play any games or by any rules. Play by heart. Call when you want to. Now. ;) p.s. Life's too short for bs game playing...carpe diem. ***************** Attitude is everything!
  13. And I wanna be one of 'em!! Floaty little thing I am. ***************** Attitude is everything!
  14. Congratulations and welcome to our world! Please understand that if you didn't have that feeling, we'd be a little worried about you. That 'feeling' is the edge you need to PAY ATTENTION and SAVE YOUR LIFE! Eventually, it won't be quite so intense and you'll start to watch weather channels/websites all week long...again, welcome to our world!! ***************** Attitude is everything!
  15. There's nothing about Krispy Kremes.... I think they are greasy and gag-a-maggot quality. To each his/her own....enjoy. ***************** Attitude is everything!
  16. Jealousy stems from insecurity and there's never any good that comes from it. It's a very counter-productive emotion that has destroyed relationships and empires. And that's the name of that tune. ;) ***************** Attitude is everything!
  17. Read the coarse material BEFORE you go. Read it again at least four more times. The instructors are not kidding when they say it is a progressive class and you need to be very familiar with the contents of the coach coarse manual and categories G and H from the SIM prior to arrival. I enjoyed the coach course I attended at Skydive San Marcos. I learned valuable teaching skills and, I hope, it's made me a better skydiver. Have fun!! ***************** Attitude is everything!
  18. Please accept my condolences over the loss of your Mother. No matter how old we are, we become the child again, feeling abandoned, when a parent passes away. Consider yourself hugged, Conway (and you, too, Carolee). ***************** Attitude is everything!
  19. Uh, Chuteless, hate to burst your bubble, but you'll never ever be done with this sport. YOU'RE A LEGEND, MAN! And a living legend at that~!~ You tell your grandkids to contact me someday and I'll send them some cool scrapbook pages of the log entries, demo team patch, and photos you sent me. They are in good hands for now...but belong to your family. Purple Skies Forever, Donna ***************** Attitude is everything!
  20. I always liked the hokey pokey...at least that's what he called it. ;) ***************** Attitude is everything!
  21. Tool? You have tools? Me, too. Worked on a shaked roof (not shingles) that was 50 x 150 foot once. Badass slope, 100' outside by noon. We went to work at o'dark thirty...so, can I help on this project? Send me a plane ticket, Wingie, and I'm there. Heh heh heh...if I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the mornin'...wait, I DO have a hammer! ***************** Attitude is everything!
  22. Just turn up the heat under the pan and fry the little sucker. Mmmm mmmm, goooooddddddd. ***************** Attitude is everything!
  23. Heh heh heh...I thought it said BANG thing...and tell your friend to make up his own mind. Maybe he should bring her to his local dz first, you know, ease her into The World before going World Freefall. Heh heh heh... ***************** Attitude is everything!
  24. Hi Josh, Hey, we're going to have a fantatic weekend at SSM. But you better not show up unless you're armed...with water filled implements of great soaking abilities~!~ Heh heh heh...we love it when newbies come to the 4th Celebration...heh heh heh...AND you'll get to be on the ground crew, if you ask, for the demo jump into the Lockhart City Park Festivities complete with FIREworks. Better be there, Mister Man, or I'll hunt you down just because I can. Purple Skies, D. ***************** Attitude is everything!
  25. You're all dreamin'! But hey, dreams are sometimes the only reality we have...so dream on~!~ heh heh heh.....wait til I tell her the alleged nekkid vid is up for auction on dz.com...heh heh heh.. ***************** Attitude is everything!
