  1. Hugs and vibes sent your way. Many people have beaten it. Don't give up hope, my friend.
  2. *Stands up and applauds* Yeah...I second the question. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  3. Yeah...well... to you and everyone else that isn't injured and able to skydive. Damn it!!!! I'm getting impatient to be back in the air. GRRR!!! But...you're right...I can't run/jump with my stupid knee, yet, so I'll be a semi-good girl and be on the ground - taking pictures and drinking beverages with you all later. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  4. Why when I see those pics do these guys come to mind? Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  5. I've gone on there one day, it was $25/day...next day was $20/day. Gotta look more than once and at times...you might not get the best deal.
  6. Keep in mind that the pics depicted thus far show the guys when they are flexed and when they've gone on a competition diet to eliminate all extra water from their system in order to show muscle definition better. (Also, why they tan - darker skin shows muscle definition better.) Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

  7. Looking forward to seeing you and Katee this weekend.
  8. Gotta love people!!!! I receive an ICQ message this morning from a man named Alex who goes by "SKYDIVER." His personal message is the usual skydiving disclaimer - you know the one...that it's hazardous to your health. Well...curiosity got to me...a fellow skydiver...cool. And, I accept the message and start talking with him. First thing he asks me is if I'm interested in skydiving. Now...because something feels off, I ask him if he's ever heard of dropzone.com? He (of course) says that he surfs it once in awhile. Well...that gets me to ask if he's got a login name or if he's just a lurker - to which he asks me what sign in? hmmm...more and more suspicious. So I ask how many jumps he has...to which he tells me that he wants to know mine first. No issues there...I tell him. And, then he tells me he has 72 jumps. K...cool...that's more than most people. I then proceed to ask him what rig he has, what canopies he's jumping, what his home DZ is. No comment on what rig he has, but he's jumping a Stiletto 135 with a wingloading of 1.3 at 72 jumps. And will not say which DZ he jumps at as he's not in the USA. I mention to him that I looked at his profile and know he's not in the US and still ask what DZ he jumps as as I may "know" someone at his home DZ. His response - military jumps...special forces. Ok...so then I ask him if they are static line, HALO, HAHO jumps or ??? And, he said static line jumps with a round. I then ask where he got his training from to transition from static line jumps to free fall? His response: "I just woke up one morning and decided to do my own thing." Well...I've had enough playing by now and ask him if he really expects me to believe that he went from static line jumping rounds to an elliptical canopy with no training at all - essentially going from a zero second delay on the round to a 60+ second delay in freefall and no-one taught him stability, etc.? His response - Yeah. Needless to say, I'd reached my limit, and called B.S. But...entertainment was definitely had. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!

  9. Many hugs, my friend. Sorry for your loss. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  10. Here's a website where you can get an overhead of the DZ's by address. http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/address.aspx Here's Z-Hills. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  11. Hotwire has got the most awesome deals. I've ended up getting car rentals for $20/day unlimited mileage. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  12. Of course you should have posted it. Just make sure you have eyes everywhere because you won't know the direction the pies will come from. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  13. It was great going to lunch with you today.
  14. Depending on amount of $$$ - Pay off debt. Plan a really good vacation. "Drag" some of my friends/family on the vacation with me. Buy a new canopy. Get some jumps in. Save some of the money so that I didn't have to worry about $$ coming in and then go volunteer at the Humane Society. Pay for some of the classes I'll need to take in cash. Life is short!

  15. Good luck! Healing vibes sent. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  16. Count me in! Thanks! I'm looking forward to meeting you all. Cool! FYI - From what I've understood, it's a bring something to the party to pass cook-out. There's quite a few grocery stores close by. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  17. FYI - DZ (ZHills) cookout tomorrow at 7pm. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  18. Just got one on Friday (2nd one in my lifetime). They are loud! Valium is recommended when you're stuck in the tube just so you don't freak out because you have to lay still during that whole time. No biggie...relax.
  19. I see a really cute firey little redhead BTW I'm much nicer online then IRL Why thank you, Squeak! Much nicer online, huh? Well...I'll be able to accurately judge that comment after I meet you in January. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

  20. Stay through the weekend. I'll stop by and say "Hi." Oh...and depending on where you are in Tampa and when your interview is, I work in Tampa so if you want to meet for lunch, let me know.
  21. I'm the same online and in real life...what you see is what you get. Much easier that way. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  22. Had to give you grief. Oh...for the record, I know exactly how many jumps I have. Depending on the way the day pans out, I'll either log them after each jump or at the end of the day. I have my D so I don't get signatures on every jump now, but those that are extra-special get signatures. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!

  23. Actually what really happened is that he got back over and picked her up and then proceeded to bitch about the amount of effort it took him to come get her. As a result, she decided that being friends with him was much more suited to her liking and told him so. When he tried to throw her out of the boat, she flashed him and he got so distracted that he fell out of the boat while she laughed at him. As he had already rowed her close enough to the shore that she didn't need to do anything but step onto shore she did so. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!
