Yeah baby!!! The only downfall is we'd have to move to VA, but I wonder if Virginia Beach has a market... We could sling it on the beach!! woohoo!!

Now if only I could poke out my mind's eye... TMfukinI man

Well, that's what we were discussing on Friday. Chattanooga isn't the best market for crackwhores, so I'm trying to find a new place to start my biznazz. Kel said she would go in and be my partner. How much you pay for the crack up there? 'Cause you know, the rock's gotta be pure yo. If not, then it ain't the good shiiii....

Alright Kel, looks like we are in BUSINESS!!! Did you see this bumper sticker in VA, Funks?

Duh huh, Bennie Boo....

Yeah, we are determined to get Jenn's level 5, 6 and 7 done in one more jump!! Hee Hee

Yeah, maybe J. will have better luck at having only one girl to convince with getting "extra altitude" Sorry, I chickened out and didn't take one for the team that time, but I knew Keith wasn't on board that time, so I couldn't do it unless he was going to benefit from it.... Keith, I will get you 16K my friend.

I'll have to try that. I love almond flavoring in stuff especially cakes and cookies. Whenever I make a cake, I put almond flavoring in it.... YUM!!!!

You can just as easily say that about women. Yessss!! This is what I've been trying to say all along... This problem is not gender specific... it happens to both sexes!!

I have not processed anything else in this thread since this quote....

I can definitely sympathize with you on that feeling you have when that door opens and you gotta get out of the plane and hang onto that strut for a good 5 seconds before exiting. Like others, I turned my mind off. I would literally put myself on auto-pilot and just go through the motions of getting out of that plane. The only difference is, I had about 6K more than you to get my butt stable. Seriously, take one thing at a time. If it's being out on that step that's freaking you out, talk to your JM. If it's the issue of being stable at 5K or 6K when you exit, switch to AFF and gain some more altitude. This is your training and if ever you feel uncomfortable, don't hesitate to go to your JM and discuss it with him. Don't be in a rush either, know your limitations.

PB&J is one of my main staples... that and Ramen noodles with cream of mushroom soup YUM!

The question would probably be better for a PM, but anyway here goes the answer. My high school sweetheart and I dated for two years in high school and a year in college. He was my first, true love. Anyway, he opened the car door for me everytime and he also opened other doors for me. But, also I am a very independent person. I don't expect anything from anyone, but even to this day and with my guy friends, a lot of the time, I find myself waiting for him to open the door for me. I have NO problems with a guy that wants to be nice to me, but the problem is, he may not be so happy with me and my personality.

Well sweetie, we WERE in the pub and then it got late...

First off, I don't believe you are attacking my intelligence, so that's not an issue here. I'm not taking this personally. I'm really not. If anything, I was re-iterating what she was saying. To address your other theory(ies).... Guys can be attributed to being the same way as girls. Guys don't want a girl that all clingy and goes around calling their man by certain pet names out in public. They don't want a love fern. They don't want cutesy matching sweaters. They want what everyone wants and that's someone that truly enhances who they are and someone that adds to them rather than takes away. There is a nice balance to all of this and what it all ultimately boils down to is if you are truly meant to be with someone then it will just happen. These days people try so hard to make things work because they are scared to be alone instead of really seeing what's going on. If things are supposed to be, then it will just fall into place. There will be none of this well, he should call 5.2 times per week and I should only be available between 6-7 p.m. on Thursday evenings to accept his call. Grue, I'm sorry things didn't work out with this girl, but there is a reason and it may be that the person you are supposed to meet will be at the DZ next weekend.

Root problem MY ASS! All you are doing is making generalizations about the female sex... Don't make me take you out back and beat you...

You don't get a damn word she is saying...

Amen sista!!! I said this same exact thing to him in the pub.

Like the other night, when you were stalking me, it was WRONG!

WRONG!!! If a guy is doing something wrong, I will let you know.... I'm gonna tell you like it is and maybe that's why I don't have anyone, but then again, maybe that's how it's supposed to be. It just sounds like the girl that Grue had asked out was keeping her options open and when something else better came along, she jumped on it and instead of being a mature adult and telling him that she just wasn't that interested, she avoided the whole situation by not calling him to tell him she wasn't interested in going. She deflected. Please don't lump ALL women into this category. Both sexes do it.

pub is hopping

I concur... even tho I think Tim McGraw is a hottie... I can't stand his music and that song is just so freakin repititous and the memories attached to the stupid song from the night I went out with hisgoofyness to that psuedo strip club will be burned in my brain forever

Mandy, I am so proud of you for even making that first step and actually getting yourself out the door! That takes a lot in itself. Don't worry so much about not pulling your own ripcord. The first time is definitely sensory overload (as well as it should be, there's nothing on this Earth that compares to it!) and on your second jump you will be much more aware. Each skydive I make I become more cognizant of things going on around me and I'm continually growing. Don't sweat it! I'm so glad that you decided to come to GSC and allow us to be a part of your training! See you weekend after next girlie! Be sure to get ready to get your boogie on as well!!

First off, the second I read the title of this thread, I started singing that song. I make it a point to have fun and be stupid almost on a daily basis. If you can't laugh at yourself, then what's the point? Also, on a sidenote... I'm sorry I missed you when you came up to the DZ on Saturday... Shoulda been there yesterday. We had an awesome time! Oh and Clay, the sheep are coming...

0:2:1 I did my first tube exit dive... It was so much fun and I would have held on longer if I could have seen my altimeter... Exiting at 14K kicks ass!
