I'm coming up on the second anniversary of my first skydive at the end of November. I now have 43 jumps.......that's right 43, I haven't been injured, I didn't have big problems in AFF (I repeated two levels once apiece). It's just that between weather and work I haven't had time. I'm very frustrated and trying to decide if I should continue. I enjoy skydiving and the family of skydivers but I don't see anything changing soon. It sucks to have been at it for this long of a time period and still have as few flying skills as I do. Even people with similar or fewer jumps have much better skills because their last 5 jumps were yesterday and mine are spread out back to June. Has anyone else had this slow of a start? OH, beautiful day today and I'm at work. Tommorrow looks like rain. I'll stop whining now but I could use some advice. Thanks guys/Shane I am not the man.

That is very true, but it's in how you apply it. My wife (2nd), will never understand how much better of a husband that she has due to all the stuff I learned while being a shitty husband the first go around. There is always something that you can build on to either make you a better partner or to help you choose a better partner. Hang on to the positives. I am not the man.

I hope you've gotten the PWing done cuz I'm here to put the undeniable kiss of death on this thread by posting on it. That's it, one reply from me and the thread will sink to the bottom of the counter never more to flame. Wasn't there a thread killer thread a while back? Whatever happened to it? I am not the man.

Life in the boonies..not only do I not get the aeral photo option, but my house is in the wrong place and there's a road shown in my neighborhood that doesn't exist. Of course in my experience, mapquest is a good tool if you want to get very lost somewhere hopefully in the same area code as your desired destination. I am not the man.

I would like a picture of someone stuck in a tree for work. I'd put it up as a visual representation of not making a goal. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it, or if any of you guys have other ideas that would be great too. You can send it to shanerampy@champaero.com Thanks I am not the man.

Very Sweet! Great choice. It a quick, nimble, comfortable bike that you are going to enjoy. Please remember that most other people on the road won't see you until it's too late so stay aware. Especially watch out for soccer moms in minivans. Stay safe I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

I'd have to say Russell Gunter for keeping me upbeat and willing to keep trying when I was fighting my way through AFF and Jim Liddle of Team Benton fame for continuing to work with me and letting me know when I get stupid. I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

I am so sorry for you. That's worse than being at work Maybe you'll start feeling better-if vibes help, you've got mine. I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

While you guys are stuck at the DZ all day jumping and hanging out with friends I get to spend the entire day at work!! Wow, I am so stoked. Lucky me! Hurrah! nahh-the fake enthusiasm didn't fool me either. Ya'll have an extra fun, super safe weekend in honor of those of us stuck in the office I am not the man.

My mom says I'm not wierd, I'm gifted! Are you sure she didn't say special ? I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Most I have heard somewhere, a few I haven't. 1) Life isn't like a box of chocolates, it's more like a jar of jalapenos. You never know what's going to burn your ass. 2) I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. 3) Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it. 4) Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they aren't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing them again. 5) I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem. 6) Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the hell is the ceiling? 7) My reality check bounced. 8) On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key. 9) I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier ! 10) You are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter. 11) Everyone is someone else's weirdo. 12) Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience. 13) Be careful . . .a pat on the back is only a few inches from a kick in the butt. 14) Don't be irreplaceable - if you can't be replaced, you won't be promoted. 15) The more crap you put up with, the more crap you're going to get. 16) You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard. 17) So this isn't Home Sweet Home . . . Adjust! 18) Ring bell for maid service. If no answer, do it yourself! 19) I came, I saw, I decided to order take out. 20) Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused. 21) I'd live life in the fast lane, but I am married to a speed bump. 22) What should you give a man who has everything? A woman to show him how to work it! 23) How can you tell which bottle contains her PMS medicine? It's the one with bite marks on the cap! I am not the man.

I visited Skydive Walterboro while in the area on vacation. I went first on a Sunday and clouds rolled in before I could go up. I had later plans and couldn't wait them out. I still had a blast hanging out with the staff and regulars. Nobody looked down on my low jump number or ugly gear. I returned the following Friday and made two loads. Number one was a hop and pop to look around the area. Number two was a two way with a regular there who along with everyone else was helpful, friendly and free with advise. They seemed to be taking good care of the students. I observed the instructors to be both professional and friendly going that extra bit to make the students comfortable. I don't get in the area often but rest assured that when I'm down that way I'll be stopping by.

I can't believe that no one has thrown in a vote for boobies yet I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Wouldn't the showing of boobies be more condusive to a warm, fuzzy environment? I really just wanted to get something in; in case of a lock I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

I figure that speeding less than 10 over is always a freebie. The cops in my hometown used to give 15 over so I tried to stay under that. Now the police chief's wife works for me so I don't sweat it too much(I love small towns). 15 over is usually safe on the interstate unless they're having an enforcement push and I'll usually hear about those at the fire department a few days in advance.

I hate that I'll miss it. I've really got to introduce myself next time I see you there. This weekend I'll be traveling to Kiawah Island for vacation but my wonderful wife has given permission to detour over to Skydive Walterboro on the way down. I really wish I could be at the hog flop, though. Finally a competition that my fat ass would be useful for. I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

****************************************************** The Democrats are complaining on how long the war is taking but, it took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51-day operation. It took less time to find evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records. It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sunk at Chappaquiddick. It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!!!! Damn our military is GREAT! I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

It would take them from manually counting paper lunch tickets & snack coupons to each child just swiping a card and a system keeping track of it all for them. I guess some folks just don't like change. Visualize Gripe Woman thinking....."Well, it used to take three of us two hours to count the tickets. That's six hours of work that won't have to be done, that's one person that won't have a job." That's why automation and streamlining scare people, and that might be the case here-especially if she were really insecure about her employment to start with. There's really nothing that you can do to address that so I'm sorry that you have to be subjected to the negativity. Maybe a good HogFlop this weekend would make it all better I am not the man.

The Road to Enlightenment - The Teachings of Zen 1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just fuck off and leave me alone. It just seems to fit the week I'm having I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Great Idea! Yesterday was my ex's birthday so I sent her a card and reminded her that she's getting older and still hasn't found anyone else (my wife and I will be celebrating our 5th anniversary this year). Petty, shallow, mean spirited, and it did improve my day I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried
