Thank you so much, Meli, Ian and Denise! Gold Coast was easy as heck to land in, so Sebastian should be just fine, too. Thank you all.

Yes, I have never uttered a curse word before today....hehehe. Jib ~ "You're the one that focked your uncle, uncle focka You don't eat or sleep or mow the lawn, You just fock your uncle all day long!" PLEASE...someone tell me WHY does that make me laugh soooo much??? ME. I don't usually think that kind of stuff is funny, but...it's freaking HILARIOUS!!!

"LIAR!"

Bitch on! Why not? Btw, I want to kick some unclefocker's asses sometimes, ironically like today, but whatever. It's normal. Nobody is 100% nice at all times. Stupid random sh*t on here makes me want to smash in some mtfking faces, sometimes. Other times, who gives a flying crap? It's all relative. You're all good, Shan. Btw, I had to severly edit my post. I have a lot of anger inside me today... not feeling well, so I'm VERY MUCH on the edge...

YAAAAAAY! 'That's What I'm talkin about!!' Oh Meli, I am just cracking up, picturing you jumping and kicking your little legs to the side...you are sooo freaking CUTE!!!! Can hardly wait to see you & your pretty sister and all the PM sistas/NCB guys, as well. Ooooo...I'm so excited to be going to Sebastian! Btw, how is the landing area? I have only just begun to jump, again...5 jumps 2 weekends ago...finally! I'm wondering about the landing situation there, but also, I still don't even have a main. I may need to rent one.

I agree with your post. Not every woman who is confident , has strong viewpoints/beliefs, shows strength/determination or is intelligent is called a bitch. Look at some of the intelligent and confident women here, like Wendy (rocket scientist) or Amy (physician). I am sure that they have been all those things (confident, expressed opposed viewpoints/beliefs, shown strength/determination, etc.) at some point, but I'll bet that men and women alike go to them for all kinds of advice. I doubt that either one of them is called a bitch just for being confident, and I am also willing to bet that many, many people both respect and think highly of them. It's not what you do, such as being confident or standing up for yourself, that is a problem. Sometimes, the true problem is how you do it. That is when people truly fall into the "bitch" or "asshole" category.

Maybe you could post a picture of you with Lainey as proof that you have met. (Kidding!) Lainey ~ I've been meaning to tell you from the first day that I saw your picture that you look EXACTLY like my brother's girlfriend, except my brother's GF is a little older than you (35 yrs.) and is American.

***Yeah - but i pretty much quit drinking. So their Kung Fu is not so strong. Really, Mr. Turtle? Well, hope you make it out to the NCB boogie, my friend. If not, I will then assume that...uh...the Kung Fu is more powerful than you had anticipated...hehehe!

Oh my gosh!!! I just saw this thread. I haven't even been online at all, but it seems like you all had such a great time. I'm so happy for you guys/girls! For the record, it was smart that I didn't try to make the trip because I am still not good physically at all. (I am still on meds, though, & want to finally hit 200 this weekend...) JT, I am so glad that little Melissa was made a PM sista! YEAH!

Oh my gosh...stop tempting me, Linny! I cannot go to Nepal when I go to visit India, but I may have to look into the "rhino stalking" for next time. It sounds like something that I would sooo LOVE to do!!! (I know, I'm so weird!)

Shannon, I agree 100% with everything that Derek posted, especially that many people do it for the bragging rights. Not that this is why you would want to do it at all, but you should look into other options before Everest. It would be good if you learned how to really mountain climb the right way and began to climb other mountains before deciding upon this one. I know that you are thinking of mountain climbing, but have you ever tried rock climbing? It can be as challenging as you'd like and is more easily accessible than Kathmandu's Everest. Lead climbing 5.11, 5.12 + can be so physically demanding (yet rewarding!)...so dynamic, yet graceful. Personally, I've done pretty ballsy lead climbing very early as a climber and loved every minute of my climbing life (I haven't climbed in years). When I have some time and have become skilled with setting gear for big wall climbing, I am definitely trying some big wall climbing in the future, myself. There is so much to rock climbing...different disciplines, similar to skydiving, so look into it, girl. As for the "touristy" Everest journeys, it would seem that there could possibly be many incompetent people (looking for bragging rights) on these trips. This quote by Phreezone sums up what what I would be worried about: Now, that's just silly. Shannon, you should go into the rock climbing forum on here and post more detailed questions there about how to begin this quest to climb Everest someday, if that is what you have your heart set on. Good luck!

What?!? Oh no! I hope that you feel better soon, Stacy. Btw, I was just PMing with Andrea and telling her how much I was looking forward to flying with everyone, especially with you. Take care, Stacy.

A punishment may be in order...

I'm dying here! I swear to god that saying that a girl wears "granny panties" is one of the biggest insults ever! Right Cora?

What a shame!

Then you have never met Mike, cause he is one of those good guys you want to keep. Don't forget about Cara!!! I was bragging about her accomplishments to my family the other day...out of earshot of my own doggie, of course!

Does this mean that the guys are in a picture where it's just the two of them on the second to last day of the convention (third from last day on the WFFC's daily pics)? (That's an awful lot of pictures, still!)

You crack me up! ha!

See the words bolded in my past quote: "I have to say that just about every European AND every South Africa person, that I have ever met, is gorgeous inside and out."

I don't know about the "chicks", but I have to say that just about every European AND every South Africa person, that I have ever met, is gorgeous inside and out. Empuria is supposed to be an incredibly gorgeous DZ. I have been told that I simply MUST make it out there to jump, and that the general area around the DZ is gorgeous, as well. I was told this by South African and British friends alike. I don't know much about South Africa, except that all the people that I have met from there (not just the skydivers) are quality people.

Cara's beautiful!

Quote Well, thanks also to you for making me feel better, Clay.

I love your way of thinking, Clay!!! The problem is that while I have plenty of hot, yet "too revealing in public" (for my tastes) lingerie at home, the real dilemna is how to cover myself up a little more with tasteful lingerie, yet remain sexy. Now that my cover-up item is no longer coming to my home, I am going to have to use a substitute. I don't mind showing a little cleavage here and there...the bottoms are the REAL problem. I simply cannot feel comfortable with my bum cheeks peeking out of my undies. That's just not going to happen for me...

Thank you, Jake! Yes, I'm sure that the ladies could use a towel-offer...lol. I'm so very sad, though, myself. I just found out that the sheer ruffle pants that I had special ordered from a lingerie store a while ago are discontinued, which is why they haven't arrived, yet. My whole lingerie outfit revolved around those pants. Now, I have to find something somewhat similar, but those sheer pants were the SEXIEST ever! All the other options are either ugly, tacky lace pants or shorty-short skirts and panties. Ugh...what am I going to do now? I have to start all over again with my costume!
