    BBWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA-ha... ha... uh....oh bother. I feel you Bytch. I believe I have folded close to a million T-shirts in my life. That is no lie. It's particularly bad at boogies. Because you fold the same damn shirts every feakin' day. In my store, however, I have a circular rack and a T-Shirt wall. All the folder shirts are OUT OF REACH! On the wall I have one each, S, M, L, XL, XXL. They hang on a cascade display and look pretty good. As it sells, the clerk replaces it. If the customer wants 4 of one size, they can be found on the circular rack or the clerk can get them for them. I used to have them folded in the center of the store, but it just got to me after a while. If it makes you feel any better, you can stop by in Rantoul, and mess up some of my shirts. Kinda like some F'ed up therapy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    I still use my first Bev Suit to do AFF in. It's 10 years old. Not sure how many jumps are on it.... lots and lots. Bev's Suits rock! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Am I too naive to hope that you won't be red lining it in the populated areas? The one thing I hate about boogies is that more people are injured on the ground than skydiving. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Whatever it was, it wasn't me! I didn't do it! I think there is another girl running around that looks just like me! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Make sure you take the long way around the Gravity Gear tent. I'll have my three year old with me. Of coarse she has been briefed on golf carts. Now I'll have to amend my briefing! .....can I have a go at it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    MATHIAS!!!!!!!!! You are not allowed to come home without first going to the office and finding out about the fate of the 100s. You know I'm kidding about not coming home. I couldn't make it an extra day without you.... and Jett has a new bike that you need to teach her to ride. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Right on! Sounds like you've got some excitement generating. You are going to LOVE the convention. And there is a very high chance that you will get instant gratification! A lot of manufacturers bring out stock. So your dream rig just might be there ready and waiting. There is no reason you shouldn't be totally stoked with skydiving and your new gear! (Wow. I just re-read that, and I think my "California" is showing!) See you there. Remember Mai Tais at Sunset in the Gravity Gear Booth! And if you don't drink, my little girl will help mix you up a special Non-Alcoholic brew. Jeez. I'm really excited about the convention this year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies!

    Katie, When you can't do anything else, start with the little things. Just breath. Listen to your breath. Feel your breath move in and out of your body. Feel your love move through you. Feel his presence. Breath. Just breath. Everything else will come with time. There is no way to go around what you are going through, but go experience it. It sucks. It's hard. But I truely feel that you are not alone. He'll stay with you as long as you need help catching your breath. And when you have the strength to open your eyes, you have a tremendous support system around you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Here are a couple of pictures of the airplane that my husband flys. Is it just me, or does it look a lot like a jump plane? Honey!?!?! Who do I have to call to book this for the boogie???? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    Can you come to Rantoul? I'll look at your rig with you, if you like. Also, all the major manufacturers will be there. If you want a neutral gear consultation and help rectifying your current situation, look me up in my booth. Chances are there is a cheaper and faster solution to your issue. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!

    My advise as a jumpmaster (and defender of the gender ) is to get a nice 170. Pilot, Sabre, Sabre2, Spectre, Silohette. In many cases because a girl weighs less than the average male, they are recommended to jump something that is just too small. If you feel intimidated by perceived speed of the canopy. Then have a tendancy to start "milking" your brakes. That means on final you start inching them down a bit more and more before you are ready to flare. The result is a compromised flare and a shitty landing. If you are on something that is fairly big and docile, you will have a chance to get your confidence up. Let that puppy come in full flight, then flare it like you mean it. No messing around! That canopy wants a little forward speed to have a nice strong flare and set you down gently. There is a great pilot within you. You just have to have the confidence to let her out! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
