Okay, so I'm already having bad dreams, and I'm only a student! I assume it's normal. They started after a bad AFF level 5 where I had really bad line twists and the canopy wouldn't open; took forever to get the twists out and the canopy open. I've been dreaming about it ever since, even though I made a jump like a week later with the same canopy, had line twists, and no problem getting out of them... I agree that a little air in your hair will clear your head!!! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Species... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Haha! In the words of Bill Engvall-- now THAT'S awesome! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Even this could be a lot funnier if we could find a phrase with harder consonants for the last word of the punchline. "Grass" is weak. Totally agreed... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I followed the first two, but that was before I started skydiving. Now, I'd pawn my tv for money if I had to, crash at a friend's for Friends, and let everything else go. But good luck to her anyway, I hope they don't fry her!!! (although that's fun to watch, I wouldn't want her feelings hurt!) ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

It sucks, but at least you were there. And you accomplished things few have the inner strength to deal with. I have issues with traffic cops, but I'm glad you're out there so that the important part of the job is taken care of. I guess what I'm saying is that, through all of the nasty remarks I've made, I still appreciate people like you who are there to help. Good job!!!

I've been crying a lot at work lately anyway...they probably think I've had a breakdown. That's great, Wendy, thanks! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Okay, people, now that I'm a little teary-eyed at work, just enough to make the monitor all fuzzy, let me just say GREAT STORIES. I have a plaque on my wall at home with a different set of "I wish you enough"s, so I thoroughly respect those, and as for Teddy's story, all I can say is WOW. Some teachers, who really care and put in the time and effort required, really can make a difference. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

All of them (even though that's only 10). Hope to keep it that way for awhile! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Good one, that's funny, and a new one for me!!! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

hey i'll meet you there too so does this mean i'm a bad person Actually, so far it looks like the best place to be! We'll all be in good company!! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Level 2, lustful You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

I don't know because once...there was this kid who got into an accident and couldn't come to school but when...he finally came back his..hair..had turned from black into bright white... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

About 30 minutes from home, about 40 from work. That is, as long as traffic permits! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Good question; I voted no, but that would have been a very different story about 3 months ago. Then, I lived a "morally clean" life out of fear of God. Although I do still believe in God, and I do want to please him, I no longer live my life according to that same fear. With the help of a friend, I came to realize that the fear was not so much of God, but of organized religion, which is a man-made system. Therefore, it is imperfect and is built upon individual beliefs and interpretations of the bible. I, for one, feel like, as long as I obey the laws of the land and live by the codes of the bible, then I am doing what is necessary to please God. So, now that my views on my own actions have changed, and I am living as I please rather than by the standards of a particular religion, I would say that no, I wouldn't change the way I lead my life because I'm perfectly happy on the road I'm travelling now. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Plano schools are divided a little differently; I went to 4 schools, but never switched schools. 1 elementary (Kindergarten thru 5th) 1 middle school (6th thru 8th) 1 high school (9th and 10th) 1 senior high (11th and 12th) Didn't go to college, taking some courses now through the local community college... My family only moved once, and it was within the same district lines, so I didn't have to switch schools. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Nothing is proved or disproved in the bible. You only accept what the bible says if you accept that the bible is true. I do not accept it, hence, for all I know, the Egyptian gods could be real. The Old Testament raises a lot of questions in many aspects. Are you familiar with the book of Job? What kind of a God would do that to someone? Arguably, Job gets back more than he lost, but damnit, was it necessary to put him through such a wrangler? Was Job anything more than a toy? The Old Testament is full of bloodthirsty murder and other barbarism. The Justice of God all too often is dealt through the destruction of the lives of thousands of innocent people. For instance, David and his transgressions. What did God do to punish David after he counted heads? I can't prove to you that God does not exist. You can't prove to me that God does exist. Therefore, it's a matter of belief, and I choose not to believe in something this bloodthirsty. Yes, I am very familiar with the book of Job. Satan challenged God, saying that the only reason humans were faithful to God is because God gave them the best of everything, that they were not wanting in any way. God felt the need to prove that this was not the case. At this time (referencing Ch.1 vs.12) God allowed SATAN the opportunity to curse Job, to see if Job would in turn curse God for his poor fate. In the end, he proved triumphant. The important thing here is that GOD did not bring the calamity upon Job, and he only allowed it in order to prove that humans were not simply opportunistic. Also, David was punished for several sins, but I won't get into that. Anyway, I understand your point, and my point was, more than anything, to say that you can't disprove that there is a god to someone anymore than you can necessarily prove that there is one. There, I do agree with you. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

other myths claiming to refute previous mythos in no way qualifies as "proof" of anything... i could create stories about 'my' disciples trouncing yours, but that isnt evidence of anything even thousands of years after the fact... claiming 'your prophet' beat 'my prophet' doesnt make it true... Okay, if that's your stance, then by no means does there exist any proof refuting the existence of God, either. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

What about if you get drunk at the DZ. Wouldn't you be doing both then also? No, it's ok to get as drunk as you want and drive fast and kill as many people as you want. Just don't smoke pot and drive 40 mph in the slow lane. They will put you away forever for that. America was built on alcohol. I never could see the attraction. I'll take herbs from the earth any day over that stuff. I do love the taste of beer. You can keep the beer high though. Look, do whatever you want on your own time. The DZ doesn't allow drinking during jumping hours, so pot and everything else should be the same way. I don't want anyone who isn't 100% aware or "in an altered state" on my plane, especially since I'm still a student! I don't do drugs, but I do drink sometimes. I see no problem with people enjoying themselves however they please once everything is shut down for the day. I may not approve, but that's not my business. During skydiving hours, it's EVERYONE'S business. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

They believed in multiple gods and they worshipped multiple gods. Their leaders instructed them to only worship a particular god, but even the bible refers to other gods as being real. They were primitive men, with little knowledge the natural world. The bible references BELIEF that other gods are real, then immediately disproves either their existence or their power as a god, whichever way you like to think of it. Examples? Moses' walking stick becoming a snake which swallowed the snakes created by the priests/magicians of the pharoah, for one... And, in case you didn't notice in whatever bible reading you have done, the Israelites caused trouble for themselves every time they began to worship something/someone other than the God of Israel (Yahweh). Why? Because whatever they were worshiping did not have the power of a god, and the God of Israel did. Look, I respect your beliefs, whatever they may be. But you certainly can't disprove the existence of God anymore than you feel someone else can prove he does exist. Even Neitszche came to the conclusion that God did exist but was in fact dead. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

You have to explain very complex topics at the level that the listener can understand. Thus "circle" instead of "sphere". I understand your point, and I'm not saying you are wrong! ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Some people explained those with multiple gods; the authors of the bible believed in a single god, who gave them those answers, which are recorded in the bible... I still wouldn't call them simple people; they were simply not as advanced in technology and were unable to study many things as in depth as we are today. Why do people in general believe that time means people were stupid 3000 years ago? If they were really stupid, we wouldn't be where we are today. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

Yes, that's the beauty of "freedom of religion", too... I'm simply trying to make the point that, regardless of the "facts" people can come up with to support atheism, others can come up with just as many to prove the Bible is accurate. Besides, the claim against ancient intelligence is unfounded, as King Solomon, a biblical author, is still accepted as one of the most intelligent men ever to walk the earth. I see your point...but I wasn't saying that everyone interpreted it the same way, just what the literal translation is most widely accepted to mean. A side note--Hebrew frequently used the same term to mean several different things. The terms for "earth" and "world" are used with several different meanings throughout the bible... ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!

If that's the case, then the Catholic Church wouldn't have seen the need to pesecute those who theorized that the world was round. Quote from the Standard Bible: [22] It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; Where the original Hebrew translated "circle" refers more specificly to "ball" or "sphere". ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
