Do You Know The EXACT # Of Jumps You Have?
ladyskydiver replied to Kramer's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Hey...Kramer...you should have poll options of 1000 jumps and do/do not know. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. -

Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large, raging violent river. Needing to get on the other side, the first man prayed, "God, please give me the strength to cross the river." Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice. After witnessing that, the second man prayed, "God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river." Poof! God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once. Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed, "God, please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross river." Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked one hundred yards up stream and walked across the bridge. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

This was sent to me in an email....interesting thoughts.... *** I grew up in the seventies & eighties with practical parents -- a mother, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the original recycle queen, before they had a name for it... A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones. Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a mile away. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, tee shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress. It was the time for fixing things -- a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things we keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, reheating, renewing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be 'more.' But then my mother died, and on that clear summer's night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any 'more.' Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away. never to return. So...while we have it... it's best we love it....and care for it.... and fix it when it's broken.....and heal it when it's sick. This is true....for marriage.....and old cars.....and children with bad report cards.....and dogs with bad hips.....and aging parents.....and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it. Some things we keep: Like a best friend that moved away -- or -- a classmate we grew up with. There are just some things that make life important, like people we know who are special.....and so, we keep them close! Good friends are like stars . . . . . You don't always see them, but you know they are always there. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

I've actually had someone ask me if I wanted a soda water. Took me a second to figure out what they meant. I thought it was cute. FYI - PeacefulJeffrey - the Coke C2 isn't bad - if you don't mind the taste of Tab. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

Habits from skydiving that cross-over to other areas of life?
ladyskydiver replied to HeatherB's topic in The Bonfire
Anyone saying the word first has me automatically thinking "BEER!" I always end up using "pre-second" in place of the word "first." Everything that I buy is evaluated in jump tickets. When wearing a backpack, I've tried to check my handles. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

Professionalism is a lost art...
ladyskydiver replied to pissedoffpilot's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I'm not a lawyer (and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night ) but that sounds illegal. Did they give you a reason? Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. -

I don't live close to most of my friends now so I email my friends to keep in touch and see them when I can. But when I did live close to them, there were good days that instead of going to the DZ, I went out with my friends. Maybe dinner Friday night with one group, jump Saturday morning/afternoon, dinner Saturday with another group of friends, and Sunday - whatever I wanted to do. Or some combination thereof. I kept my whuffo friends, my "have jumped once or twice" friends, and my skydiving friends. The sky will always be there - your friends may not (be it life has them drift away or an accident takes them). Only you can decide and figure out what the proper balance is for you. Life is short!

Does anyone know if it comes in any sizes larger than a 120? How does a Katana compare to a Sabre2? Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Lowest pulled - 2,200 and that was only because I was on a "big" (34) way and was told to pull between 2,000 and 2,500. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
