Thanks for 'splainin' that to her. BTW, isn't she on crutches right now? Maybe she should have been wearing some of them there "ugly boots".

There are many different ways to make a turn. Just about any part of the body can be used to do it. Your instructor will have a preferred method he or she will teach to you. In the meantime, we'll not clog your head with too many ideas.

Paraphrasing you a bit, but same here. My dad was an aerospace engineer and we hit all the airshows. The planes were cool but the skydivers were gods that walked among us. I knew, though, it was something I would never get to do. Then one day in high school at 17 a buddy of mine asked if I wanted to go jumping on a Saturday. Sounded cool so I went. Loved it. I finally found something that REALLY held my interest.

I do! I was googling for those but couldn't find 'em. I did find some lower top Adidas for "skydiving". One of my jumpmasters used to wear those.

One of my posts on another social site, didn't even know it was a haiku 'til a friend mentioned it. Just got paid today! :) Paid my Property Taxes. . . :( Kinda broke even . . . :D

I can count spilled toothpicks like a mutha------.

I like to cook, and I like to start the day with a clean kitchen. Hate coming down to a mess in the morning. And I like to be able to find my stuff when I want it; no searching for helmets or tools or paperwork, etc. I know where most of my stuff is.

You bet. She's Ming the Merciless when it comes to clutter. Hey, I just saw a video of Miles doing an indoor base jump today at your hotel. Did you catch that?

Our daughter Melissa has been doing that for us. With up to 6 people in this house I don't know what is what to whom, but she has a way of telling Mom "No one is ever going to wear/eat/use/want this" and having Mom let her huck it out. Our entry closet is actually useful again.

Well heck, maybe I can come over with a 6-pack and a vacuum cleaner and we'll have a clean up party.

You CAN make a career out of it. Many have. I don't think you'll be super rich unless you become an owner of the business, but there's a lot of $$ to be made packing, doing tandems, etc. I've been okay with being a part-timer for almost 4 decades. I certainly haven't burned out like some I've seen.

Maybe a touch depressed? Seriously, you've gone thru a lot of changes recently. Keeping a squared away place is mostly developing habits, IMHO. Like Billy said, put stuff away as you use it and it tends to stay cleaner.

We were backstage of a hip hop show in the 80's after doing a demo in. All the fly girls were wearing French paraboots. I thought "OMG, those things are cool now!?" The Tevas, yeah, we wore those to tropical boogies a few times, no injuries but realized your toes are really hanging out there. We switched to closed toe river sandals for our jumping-in-paradise shoes.

I appreciate the replies to my post. I guess that tat MAY be as offensive as a swastika to some people. I didn't consider that. With that said, freedom of speech in this country means putting up with some expression you find offensive. I know I'm offended daily by some of what I see. But I prefer that to any kind of censorship.
-
But "infidel" is a derogatory expression they use to describe US. Would I have to cover up a tattoo on my calf that called me "Honky"?

Such as "Pawn Stars."

Skateboard shoes. They're sturdy and slide pretty well when I'm turf surfing.

I sure enjoyed those two guys. Their "two thumbs up" has passed into the lexicon forever. Sorry to see Roger pass.

What would you say/How would you feel???

I've loaned dough to coworkers that have a good job and I trust. No problems. But this guy? Out of the clear blue sky? Sounds like a meth head. -
Gotcha. What didn't go your way today?
-
"Guess what I just heard!" Sorry Billy, too easy.
-
Freedom of speech. I'm dismayed at the position the DZO of Lake Wales took. The Muslims like to call us exactly that, while crying for "death to America". They're offended? Boo hoo, sister.

My wife and I have none and I think our kids have not gotten them either. I always told them never to get one where the judge will see it. A lot of people have them and they look pretty cool. I wouldn't mind one or two myself, but it's not something I really plan to do. My one thought is I've never seen any skin on a woman that didn't look just fine without ink. No tats required to be beautiful, IMHO.

Felt the same way when Farrah Fawcet passed away.

Animals that mimic others and learn new "speech" patterns seem to show the ability to learn music and "dance to the beat." I've seen similar videos with birds.
