  1. Sorry, dude. May be you should hang up your canopy for a while. As much fun as skydiving is, it may not be worth doing with your injuries. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  2. Back in August of 2003, I was headed for Summerfest at Skydive Chicago. My then boyfriend wanted to surprise me by purchasing a $100 gift certificate so I could make some additional jumps that were not within my budget. But, he accidently bought them from Chicagoland Skydiving. When he realized his error, he called CS and explained his mistake. CS refused to refund his account even though they had not even processed the internet transaction, yet. I thought this was so terrible of them to do this. We live in New Orleans and I have only been to Chicago once and Phil has never been. So, here it is March 2004 and we are still stuck with this gift certificate for "One free Tandem" or "$100 worth of jumps." (They told Phil it would be good for either). I don't know what to do with it except see if someone who jumps at CS wants to buy it from me. But the saddest part about this whole story is that the skydiving community is so small and we are supposed to be family. Chicagoland Skydiving has left such a foul taste in my mouth and I think it serves them right for me to share this experience with all of you. .....................................................................

  3. Wow, that's bad. I have a friend who's 4 year-old daughter yelled this at the grocery store in front of lots of people: TAYLOR: Mom, I'm ready to fucking go! MOM: Taylor! We do not talk like that! TAYLOR: Oh yes we do! There's really nothing a mom can say after that. .....................................................................

  4. I'm sure this may come as a shock, but I had listened to NIN before Trent came to the DZ hence the reason I knew who he was when he registered as Michael rather than Trent. Today, I wasn't listening to NIN afterall. I listened to Linkin Park, Tool, Rob Zombie, Prong, Nelly, Notorious BIG, 50 Cent, and Beastie Boys. .....................................................................

  5. There is absolutely no way I can name one band or one singer. I have favorite rockbands for every emotion. I was just listening to Blue Oyster Cult and Boston. Tomorrow I could be in the mood for Nine Inch Nails or anything Chris Cornell belts out. Who knows.
  6. One word - Olympus. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  7. Thanks, gwurl - you are awesome yourself! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  8. Oh Lord. All I can say is that I am a complete sucker for a pop beat. It's a sickness. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  9. Rosa - sorry things didn't go as planned during your trip - but you never would have known it because you handled yourself with such grace. Also, thanks for the "XXXX" CD. Sadly, I love it. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  10. And thank you so much for the necklace. I got tons of great compliments on it.

  12. One of our skydivers, Julie, wears one of those metal robo-knee braces and when she lands, she lifts that leg up, lands on her good leg and then puts her bad leg down for a more comfortable, soft landing. Becareful, though. Others that I see with bad knees, do the calm booty-slide landing.
  13. It was so great to meet you guys! My signing sucks but I learned a lot. I just wish I had folks to practice with more. Look forward to seeing y'all again soon! Oh and CRW with pilot chutes?! You dudes are crazy!!! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  14. I'm sad, tired and doing massive amounts of laundry since returning home from the 11th Annual Mardi Gras Boogie. I had the most fun of my life for the past 9 days meeting, reuniting and playing with friends. Thank y'all for the good times, amazing jumps and the love. I can't wait for next year. In this thread, share your favorite moments of the boogie. ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  15. Sound like you should have come to the MG Boogie. But, our Otter gives you plenty of time to go through safety checks in your head and go over the dive - twice, may be three times. .....................................................................

  16. I left Tues afternoon but will be back Friday evening. See you there! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  17. Oh and we initiated 4 new Pink Mafia members this weekend - Zoe, MC, Mary, and Annette. When you chicas get here - come find me, Brooke, LeAnne, Donna, or any of the other Gold Coast sisters. .....................................................................

  18. It rained yesterday but we all went over to Ocean Springs Bowling Lanes and had a blast. Skymonkey One (also known as Bowl Monkey One and Team Skank Captain) was bowling strikes whilst break dancing. It was pure greatness. The more Captain and Sprite we consumed, the worse our score became - imagine that? Dave Brown, an excellent free flier, is not good at knocking pins down. I guess they don't have too many bowling lanes in Nova Scotia. It was hilarious. Gillian from PD arrived last night and more are on the way. I can't wait to see you guys!!! ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
  19. To second Chuck's comments - we are having a blast at the MG Boogie. The kegs just arrived and we are winding (or better yet - wine-ing) down from a beautiful day of jumping. 76 degrees, 10 mph winds, sunny skies with no clouds - what more could you as for? Well, there is more - awesome people. I became a Bumpy Brother of the Rodrigues Bros. clan, jumped with Dave Brown and had some of the best skydives out of the Casa and King Air. All to top it off with the Carbone's pork loin dinner. Plus, the Pink Mafia girls are representing!!! Come get initiated! .....................................................................

  21. Well, it starts with an S, but they kinda look alike if you drink enough. Sikorsky, Construction helo Damn - I thought it was like Jet-something-or-another. I'm clueless.
  22. I heard last night that the helicopter will not be there until Wed. It is the same type of helicopter that was at Rantoul last Aug. The name of it starts with a "J" - can you tell I'm a bit rusty on my heli-knowledge? ..................................................................... PMS#28, Pelogrande Rodriguez#1074 My Pink M
