I am itching to get my May issue! Is the Mardi Gras Boogie article in there? ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

I know - BEER! But, I do have a favor to ask of those who have been on Carnival's Conquest or who have been to Montego Bay, Grand Cayman or Cozumel lately: What was the best thing you did when you were on the cruise ship or in one of these locations? .....................................................................

Ummmm. I remember a few things about your "adventures." Shall I bring them up in an open forum? Nah - they'll be our (and everyone else that was there) little secret. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

I used to LOVE listening to The Black Avenger, but I don't know if he is on air here in NO. He used to have this guy that did Shirley Q. Liquor comedy act. It was hilarious!!! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

Yeah - that kind of freaky-deaky stuff does not sound like fun to me. I'll stick to performing sex acts for money and licking eyeballs. JUST KIDDING!!! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

Mississippi should be beautiful on Saturday. Sorry, dude. You can make a road trip out of it. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

36% pure. I'm a dirty, dirty girl. But I can honestly say that I have never defecated on anyone nor on myself.

OY! He used to be out of Dallas when I lived there and got on my nerves talking about his daughter, Caroline. He was so sugary-sweet it made my teeth hurt. That has been years ago! I can't believe I remember that. I know he is nationally syndicated, now, but I don't listen. I'm an NPR or CD girl in the morning. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

Thanks, dude. This was very sweet. I think it would be a drag if only one sex participated in this sport. I love my chicos and chicas. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

Pacifico Cerveza with lime. Ummmmmm. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

Hopefully we'll see you two cool cats again at Gold Coast. We miss y'all long time. Check out the Pink Mafia website Gallery - your little mug is on there a few times in the Random Pics and the Mardi Gras Boogie pics.

Ali Bear's - ummmm - I'm hungry for some of that gourmet cookin'! It is fantastic!!!! Jab - enjoy your jump. Post pics.

What are you going to do when the Cypres is due for its four year checkup? Jim Jump with another Cypres while mine is being serviced. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

Nice - That's a constructive opinion I can appreciate. Wow - that's about as bad as a "you're not the boss of me" comment. Oy vay! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

If you have something constructive to say that will add value to this thread, post away - but if this is all you can bring to the table, take it to Bonfire. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

I agree with you. Nice point. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

I have jumped without a Cypres before but I would not do it again unless something safer came out on the market. I also do not depend on it at all - it is strictly an emergency safety device only to be used as it was intended. And I do take risks, hence the fact that I jump in the first place, but I see nothing wrong with working with technology, my past and others' experiences, and the education that has come about from those to lessen my risk. I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I have learned a lot about another viewpoint; don't think that I am not mulling it over, too. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

First of all - thanks for telling me you moved this posting rather than leading me to believe it had been deleted from the other forum's thread. As for the topic - I still disagree. I bought a Cypres because it is an added safety feature. I would not practice jumping without it just to prove I can save myself without one. I can land safely without a helmet just fine, but there again, I am not taking any chances. I can fly a Dolphin container just fine, but I choose to fly a Mirage because the safety features are more condusive to the type of flying I do. I just don't believe in stacking up unnecessary risks upon myself, but to lessen the risk as much as possible. .....................................................................

You have taken my response out of context. I was responding to your idea of making people jump without helmets to prove to themselves that they can do it and I think that is ludicrous. It disturbs me that you would recommend people to remove safety equipment just to prove that you can live without it. You never know what could happen to someone in freefall or on landing. It is akin to asking someone to remove their seatbelt to prove to themselves that they can drive to the store without getting into a wreck. > Please read my entire reply. It does not necessarily mean landing without a helmet. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M

[replyIf this guy were at my DZ I'd recommend he do a few jumps without a helmet to prove to himself that he can safely land without one. I politely disagree about making people jump without helmets so they can prove to themselves they can land without one. This is an unnecessary risk that could injure or kill someone. In the case above, I would have tried to take my helmet off and prop it on top of my head to see. Knowing that the exposure to the surounding air would clear the fog, I may (not sure of timing) tried to push it back on my head for landing to protect my noggin just in case I had an off landing. After the jump, I would have definitely gotten rid of that helmet and bought a Z1 or Oxygn - something that has a flip-up visor. I am also deeply distrubed that I hear people talking about monetary loss rather than safety. Who cares if you lose the helmet - save your life! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
