  1. 0: 3: 1 Met a few more DZ.commers. Had an interesting weekend. Story to follow once I'm home. And a couple of very interesting pics will be posted. Edited to change beer # - pics are based off beer # Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

  3. The Second Level of Hell - You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate. Life is short!

  7. Anyone who's met me in person can attest to it. There are pics of me all over DZ.com that show it. I'm so not posting any more pics. So....you'd have to meet me in person to see the curves. Shelley, one of my best friends, and I will be in Vegas Sep. 7-11th so you'd have the opportunity to meet me then. (More about this trip coming later.) Life is short! Break the rules!

  9. Sky, I want to thank you for posting this! It's nice to know that there are people out there that realize stick figures, twigs, plastic body parts, etc. are not what real women are. Some real women have curves and confronted with media all our lives insisting that we stop being what our bodies naturally are set us up with major body issues. Michele in her living room - agrees.
  10. Rosa, honey, do not worry about not having made it to dinner!!!! Yes, I would have loved to meet you, BUT family takes precedence. I'm glad I was able to talk to you last night for awhile. You take care of yourself and be strong, k? We'll meet up another time. Your mom is in my prayers. Many vibes and hugs sent. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!

  11. Yes, I am here in Cali. We've spent the afternoon apartment hunting and running around. Ummm...yeah....Cali apartment prices - YIKES!!! LOL Oh, well.... Had dinner at Kung Pao and had an enjoyable time. Tried Twinkle Walnut Shrimp. RippedCord showed up for dinner. Rosa tried but was unable to find us. Had a very nice time at dinner and got to make RippedCord blush a couple of times. Got an interview tomorrow in San Diego so I'm picking up a rental car and going to do a pre-second driving attempt in California. Looking forward to jumping on Saturday with everyone. And, don't forget....GIVE ME MY HUGS!!! As for the reference to my TSA story...Milwaukee airport this morning...5:30am central time....going to Northwest Airlines to board. TSA stooge runs my rig through the scanner. Doesn't like what he sees and runs it a second time. Then, of course, asks who's bag it is. As soon as I acknowledged it was mine, I was also pulling out my Cypres card, etc. Guy says "There's too much metal in here" and proceeds to ask my permission to open my gear bag. I ok it, and watch what he does. He's asking questions about the 3 rings, the reserve handle, the "GAS" device (ARG!!!!), and then says that he's not sure that parachutes are allowed on the plane. I told him that I have carried my rig on multiple airlines, multiple times this year and that the USPA is working with TSA to get them some updated training materials to recognize what a rig is. And that the US DOT has acknowledged Cypres as non-hazardous (plus gave him the documentation to look at). He then calls over his supervisor who has to call someone to get the ok. I walk with him to his desk. In the meantime, a Milwaukee County Sheriff shows up with another TSA stooge. I ask them "You guys are still not used to skydivers?" The sheriff proceeds to tell me that there is no way he'd allow a rig on as I might jump out of the plane. After I laughed at him and said that I'd prefer to live longer than being sucked through an engine, freezing to death or dying of hypoxia, he then asked me if I saw 3 people get on board with rigs what would I think? My response - they were either going to have a kick-ass vacation or had just come back from a kick-ass vacation. His response was that he thinks they would be up to something. I told him that it must be really sad to look at everyone so suspiciously and think that everyone is always up to something bad. Just after that, the TSA supervisor gets off the phone and says it's ok for me to carry on my rig. I then hand all the guys a business card from my DZ, and request they stop by and see what skydiving is all about, and finally get to board my plane to come to Cali. And to everyone that asked me to give Michele hugs, she's been given them and has given me some back in return so y'all will have to find me to collect them. Well, this tired kid has to get up early to pick up the rental car so I'm going to go to sleep. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

  13. Welcome, my friend. Glad it helped.
  14. Stiffles a startled scream from having been picked up. Tickles Jerm to get him to put her down and bolts outta the room. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
  15. If there are some left, I'll take a look at them on Monday and who knows? I just might end up picking up a 2nd one.

  20. Sweet!!! Enjoy the time in the tunnel. Better watch it. She may end up outflying you. Glad to hear you might get Sharon in the tunnel. Might be a very good thing. Glad to hear she's hanging around the DZ and having fun. Make sure she puts some of her closing pin necklaces in the case in the office. She might sell more that way. Life is short! Break the rules!

  21. Welcome to the skies, my friend. Are you kidding? We're not bored reading this. As my time in the air has increased, I now understand some of the love my instructors have for teaching. To see someone's face light up the first time they jump or accomplish something is very thrilling for me - and I'm not the one that did it. We all enjoy seeing the excitement of newbies in the air. Keep enjoying the skies. Stay safe and feel free to share with us your love of the sport. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably.

  24. Hey, Sarah! If you can get some tunnel time, take it. Enjoy it. You'll learn a lot and when you're finally able to jump, it will help you with your flying skills.
