OMG - I just had my first bottle of pitch black yesterday - that fin rocks!! Otherwise, I like to get a big glass of original & add about 1/10 the total amount of ice tea - call me weird (I know I am), but it tones it down. Someone said it kinda tasts like ginger ale w/ out the ultra fizz.

I called my sister-by-boyfriend to ask her to push the topic. Stating that it doesn't make sense for some potential relationship issues to stop a current opportunity. She said it's the highest up boss that doesn't like the idea, but she'll try to get the middle boss to ask me in for an interview. Apparently they tried to fire someone for not doing his job, he threatened a law suit & so they transferred him w/ a slight promotion, he resigned. To protect against his claims, my sister-by-boyfriend is being forced to transfer her cousin-in-law; and apparently the company is very concerned about hiring people so close. I'm talking to her, I guess she could be lying to me; but I don't think so. I told her Val's suggestion she laughed & said her husband (my b/f's brother) told her he'd divorce her & then there'd be no issues - TOTALLY JOKING - but it's still nice for me to hear. The job is not posted to the public yet, so I can't really go through any other channels. She's one of 4 supervisors; I'd be working under one of them - just not her - I really don't understand. UGH. I'm pretty sure it's not a legal reason to not hire someone; but whaddaygonnado? There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

So, my job's going away @ the end of the month. I had a great almost guaranteed job hook-up @ a great company in a position I'm 99% sure I would have loved in a neighborhood I want to work. Well, I heard of the job through my b/f's sis-in-law. She's one of the supervisors, though I wouldn't be under her & she wouldn't even be involved in my interview process. HOWEVER, now her boss is saying that because we COULD POTENTIALLY, IN THE FUTURE, be related as sisters-in-law; they are not going to consider me for employment. Instead they've already filled 2 of their 5 openings w/ schmucks that have no idea what they're doing. And they have more people leaving so there'll be more openings; but I'm SOL. What do you all think - should the fact that there's possible potential for me to marry her brother-in-law affect my employment opportunity? I don't think so. I wouldn't start working under her. But the possibility for me to advance to manage her or that they may need to move me into her department is job blocking me. Sorry for the long post - I'm pretty upset. There is no can't.

K, I really like kinky - but have no imagination... so, would those "naturals" out there please continue w/ this tread There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Sorry Eric, but you're right. I didn't mean it funny at all. After watching someone spiral down & bounce about 20 feet, I can't watch anyone doing more than a 90degree turn less than 100 ft above the ground. When I'm under canopy I watch others around me, but not when they're below me - don't want to risk viewing that ever again. I won't watch Peter till he's bout 20 ft off the ground & that's just to make sure I won't have to take care of his crazy-learning-to-hook-turn-ass. I don't watch others till they're actually swooping the grass. I love this sport & know I'll prob see another insident, but not if I can help it. I'm basically holding on to jumping w/ every effort available to me. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

I don't really know. Before, I probably would have said yes; so long as I couldn't see the persons face or if I didn't know them or if I could avoid viewing the actual end of a persons life. However, now, having actually watched as someone bounced below me; while I was under my parachute - I hope to never ever ever see that again; not in reality, video or dreams. Currently I can't even watch some people land. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Jump 22 was the first on my own gear. Use of student gear was paid for in my jump package. for some reason there are quite a few people @ my dz that believe a you can not jump your own gear till after AFF graduation. i don't know if that's true or not, just putting the thought out there.

I wish this woman would try BASE - out her stupid window onto the bldg. next door 10 stories down - grrr. growing up in FL we had huge storms where the thunder would shake the bldg. W/ the BA passing by, I get a bit of a warm memory feeling buzz.

OMG, the funniest thing. I've been in this office for 6.2 years & so am quite use to this annual pre-airshow practice. My co-worker is the 50+ lady that is an IDIOT!! I really think she's certifiably crazy, execpt she has Phds in like 3 fields. ANYWAY, they just buzzed our bldg, she ran out of her window office, hands flying around, yelling "what's goin on, what's going on? did you hear that? whawhawha..." then ran back into her office & slammed the door shut I wanted to roll on the floor laughing.

RobYn loves to make people sick. She sat around the bonfire @ Chicagoland for hours, coughing away. I was totally sick the next week. I'm blaming her for my WFFC cold now too. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Everything Phree said, esp including turning the volume down on the band. Last year there was a space between the party tent & the food tent. It was packed not because of the free beer - which doesn't taste good enough to drink, but because of people trying to save their ear drums. I went to bed the first few nights w/ my ears ringing, the next few nights I partied in the RV park & could still hear the band. Mort porta-poties w/ toilet paper restocked daily. More trash cans. Water fountains. The grass in alternate tent-city is deadly!! It actually punctured my foot. I guess cutting it would be best. If there's gonna be a contest - leave the strippers @ the stip clubs. Or have a seperate stripper bar. I would like to add though that I LOVED the new showers!! I paid for the RV park, but the shower facilities there are sadly lacking!! I ended up showering @ the museum 3 times. And the hot water was plentiful. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Gosh, lets see, bundling up in ski wear in August, running to hide from the huge storm that ended up being a nice spring shower, landing in choppy 20mph wind - where do i start; how bout: great parties!!! learning that a huge lemon drop is my fav drink (vodka, sugar & ice in a huge cup - yummy!!), oh oh, I finally got to meet a bunch of dz.commers but most specially, I got to take part in the (hopefully a record) dz.com girl way w/ 8 kick ass chickas including BKDice & Katie & Alana - yea! Oh, I got all my jumpsuits patched up real nice. Met Tammi Carbon who rocks, hmmm, it just doesn't end. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Na Clay, if you don't care if it stays, we don't care. There's gotta be some scotch or duck tape around, that'll certainly work just fine There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear. PMS #227 (just like the TV show)

Can I just say YEA!!!! I have rope thick string I'm bringing already, so many uses! What wingie meant was port-o-potties. But there's also the shower houses, they work fine! Every woman knows the secretes of dressing "undercover". Thanks for the encouragement Rosa, nice to know ever those that appear perfect are fixed-er-uppers. JP, from the sounds of it, if we tie it right, you may HAVE to wear the toga the whole week There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

As everyone said, it's good to be an inexpensive drunk. Get drunk, then slow down the consumption to maintain the buzz (BTW, that's one of my fav phrases - maintain the buzz). Also, my mom gave me some great advice, then in my early 20's I was dating a much older man & he reminded me of this same advice. Anyway, eat greasy foods, or lotsa butter on bread or crackers or somthing. Reasoning? something like the grease can help line your stomach - dunno, but it works. So, eat buttered crackers, drink w/ a huge glass of milk followed by a steak & then have a water after each drink - you'll be good all night long. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear.

Um, thanks - but you've met me & know that's not true. but, sure, thanks. it is true for most of the female population though. for me, my rack is my rack - my bra size stays the same if I weigh 120# or 190#. perhaps I'll wear my air bra that gives me a nice full C cup.
