Happy 26th Heather!

Not tricking. I'm having issues with my insurance company paying my medical bills. It's quite stressful. Oh no...I'm so sorry. I have had this happen to me also! If it makes you feel any better, I know that many doctors seem to hate this insurance shit as much as we do. My dad has operated for no pay many times... Btw, congratulations on your 600th! Tu eres una Chica Superpoderosa y no lo olvides!

I just reserved a Super 8 room for the Eloy New Year (31st, 1st & 2nd). I am sooo excited! So far, I am going to Arizona alone, and I am proud of myself for having decided this. I have already jumped alone at new locations, so it shouldn't be a problem. I am sooo looking forward to many firsts and meeting many friends on this trip!

The same here...................not doing so is killing me. LOL! then, I looked at your sig line!

I'd want to learn or be better at: - to fly an airplane - to scuba dive - to belly dance - to Latin American dance (something just so sensual about it) - to speak Spanish, French, Greek - to play the piano better - to better all-around skydiver It's going to be fun when you come out here. I forgot to put "to learn to fly an airplane and to learn to belly dance" on my list. Maybe we can pursue these activities together. Furthermore, in exchange for helping me improve my skydiving skills, I may be able to help you with learning to speak spanish and latin dance (professional lessons are probably best first). I learned to scuba dive several years back, but I had no one to do it with at the time. I would probably need to learn it all over again, but it would be cool to have a friend to go with. Sounds like you have a great list, Cora!

I think you might be a little hard on this person. You're right. I am being too hard on this girl. Not everyone is prepared or rational about the consequences of jumping out of a plane. Also, I wrongly assumed that going braless is not comfortable for all women larger than a "B" cup. About jumpsuits...I again assumed that all tandem students wear them because in the DZs that I have visited so far (Perris, Elsinore, Air Adventure West, Taft, San Diego), the tandem students wore jumpsuits. Yes, this has been in 100+ weather. I do have respect for people doing topless, naked, bikini or lingerie jumps. My personal belief is that there's nothing wrong with nudity if you want to be free. It's perfectly natural.

I would love to learn: to play the drums really, really well. I have been wanting to learn for about 15 years now. I will probably pursue this after I have a few more hundred skydives because it's hard to have 2 new hobbies that you are passionate about. to speak at least two more languages ...Italian and French first. These 2 would be the easiest for me to learn first as I already speak Spanish fluently. to dance many different types of dance. I am a natural at dance, but I never do it. I would LOVE to have a dance partner to learn how to do some bad-ass swing with. Salsa dancing is easy, but I have no one to dance with. If I had a better body, I would take ballet classes. I am just too self-consious about my thighs in leotard and tights. to weld both artwork and furniture. I remember talking to my best friend about taking a welding course with her at my old art college when she was still alive. She passed away 5 years ago. I still think about her when I think about taking that class. to learn to take better care of my body. I need to sleep more, eat less/better, relax and know when to stop pushing my body sometimes. to learn to be a better person, in general...more loving and caring to others. Skydiving was NOT something that I had always wanted to do. I did my first jump (AFF1), 2 weeks after being explained what it was like and deciding to try it. It's funny how things work out sometimes.

I love it when my "memaw" says.. "down yonder." That IS adorable!

I hear that drawls can be quite sexy.

Do you think this'll ruin my whole first time thing? Of course not! It will be mentally easier to do a tandem first. You will still have loads of fun, no matter what you do. Just remember that the sky will always be there. Going for the weekend sounds like loads of fun. Hopefully you can do that. No matter what you do, I wish you well!

You freekin rawk!!! So do you, Michele...

VERY SWEEEEEEEEET!

WoooooooHooooooooo!!!!!!!

Angela, it sounded like you really wanted to do AFF1. You shouldn't let you BF convince you to just make a tandem. If the two of you go to the DZ on the same day, then you can always do AFF1 while he does a tandem. Sometimes, I have seen tandems sit around waiting for hours, so you may as well be in AFF1 ground school, while you are there. Also, if you become uncomfortable with it before getting on the plane, then you can always just tell them that you'd like to do a tandem instead. It's not like the two of you will be jumping out from the plane at the exact same time anyway, even if you both do tandems, because you will be attached to two different people! Just tell the instructors that you both want to be on the same load for your first time. You can be next to each other on the plane and everything. This way, he can be there for your first AFF jump.

OMG! I want both of you! Can we have a love triangle? Alana is already at home cleaning and gardening... we'll use Sunshine's cc for all our packing and jump tickets, I'll cook and that gives us plenty of free time to be sluts in bed... Good idea, Roy! ...sic... ... (((((((hugs)))))))

I just hand him my credit card and tell him to go have fun!! Will you be MY girlfirend, Sunshine!?! I promise to be a slut in bed.

does anyone know where I can find a loyal woman? a good woman? one that can cook, clean, pack, buy me jump tickets and is a slut in bed? I am a loyal woman, but I do not know if I can cook, clean or pack. Someone else always takes care of those things for me.

Thank you, Cora. I am printing this one.

They film televison shows or movies at people's residences out here in Southern California. My parent's sometimes get calls for their home's use from various studios and location managers. A few years back, we got a call from the Spelling productions about filming part of an episode of Charmed in my parent's front and backyard. BOTH Shannon and Alyssa were there. My brothers were also there (LOL!). The truth is that they look cute, but very normal in real life. Anyway, I remember telling my younger brother's girldfriend, at the time, that she was just as pretty. Alyssa was a little more social with the crew, and Shannon was more private (shy?). Poor Shannon had to be dropped into the pool fully dressed for this episode. (Even though we heated the pool for 3 days beforehand, it was winter at the time!) Btw, Shannon was not a bitch. My family stayed indoors and decided not to meet the girls. (It's not a big deal in L.A.) The Spelling productions are always very respectful of the location home owner's privacy if we want it that way. Good news! I was told by the staff that I was Alyssa's exact size and shape. Yes, hers are fake, but, hey, mine are real! She probably still looks 10 times better in a bikini. Also, my face is not like hers, is it? Guys, she's very petite as I am 5 ft. about 95-100lbs. When I visited an Audi dealership 8 months ago, my salesman also told me that I was her exact size and shape as she had bought her Audi from them. I just happened to be looking at the same car...same color! I didn't buy it. When I began to skydive this year, I used the money that I would have bought the car with to jump out of planes! The truth is that I have heard that Alyssa is pretty normal and down to earth, but she can look really hot, as well! Isn't that nice to know?

I'm proud of you, Chris.

You will not feel nauseous once you are in freefall. Trust me. You can't tell that you are actually physically falling when you are in your arch. I hear nausea can happen to a tandem under canopy, but I think that you will be too busy as an AFF student trying to fly your canopy to worry about being sick. Whatever you do, Please DO NOT take any medications before freefall. DO NOT take dramamine. This is VERY dangerous. You need to have sharp reflexes. This is your life that we are talking about. I have daily medication that can make me drowsy, so I never take it until after I am done jumping. Please PM me if you want to know the effects that similar medication can have in the air. Good luck!

I think we're still able to have some naked water training and BBQs at CB's though! NAKED water training? What requirement does that fall under? Watch out for that Shark, Gia! Mark is being so naughty.

Good luck and many vibes, Ed!
