u serious? ! you know that song, "you got to know when to hold 'em.. know when to fold 'em.. know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your $$, when your sittin at the table,. they'll be time enough 4 countin'.. when the dealings done." thats the chourus. I'm SURE you've heard it. Cute, Dave. You're the next .. ahh, what's that guys name, makes satirical lyrics. Redid the Nirvana song smells like teen spirit? oh, nevermind. Angela.

CHEERS to that !! Angela.

I see lots of references to different exits by certain name., ie, someone just posted and named a "cannonball" exit. Is there a place where these are defined? If not, does anyone want to post names and descriptions of some exits that they don't think everyone would know by name? thx:) Angela.

That was funny!! angela.

Right, freaking RETARDED! that is the only dz where it is the case. I, personally, would not tolerate it. If they were going to do that for me, i'd just go ahead and purchase the damn bears and set them on the table out front for all. They pulled the same shit when she graduated AFF, too. It's a new thing cuz they didnt' do that when I graduated AFF, ... everyone drank! Dumb idea. Like there are no ways around it *rolleyes*. Angela.

Hi to all the PM Sisters! I think the site is great! You asked for critique on the website. Note this is coming only from a viewer, I am not a website artist. "ENTER" could be in a brighter color, or click on picture also enters. There are no thumbnails for the pics of the 1st PM Boogie. Also, where was it located? Where was the toga party at? Beach bash? When you click on a thumbnail, I think there should be navigators on the bottom of the new screen. The navigators would be "forward" "back" "beginning". This way you do not have to open and close a hundred thumbnails, you only have to open one, then click on beginning, and you can view them all in the large screen. This could be done for each picture section, rather than for all pictures. I hope i'm explaining this right. Here are some questions I have, which maybe you can have answers to on your site. Also, an FAQ would be a good addition. What is the difference between the "sisters" and the "sisterhood" section? Were the sisters the creators/founders, and the sisterhood are all who are initiated? Do all new sisters also get their pix on there? How many sisters are there currently? "gold coast chapter"? Are there other chapters? More info should be given about gatherings. For instance, will there be a theme, like the toga party or the beach boogie? You know, like, what to expect in a weekend with the sisters at a given location. What accomplishments have you all made since starting the sisterhood? Were you on any jumps to make a difference like the jump for cancer? What kind of support is given to other sisters? Are you looking to be sure women are treated equally? Looking to get more chicks into the sport? :) I think a lot of the other suggestions were good ones, too:) Great work, awesome site. I hope to get up to z-hills for the PM boogie! Angela.

lol!! Damn, 3, eh? I thought things were better in those days.? That's cool, I wonder if he did jump, and if that inspired any of his music. Angela

I wonder if she enlisted or re-enlisted or whatever, after her children were born. I don't think a childs mother should be sent to Iraq, either; but, then, it was her decision to enlist knowing full well what the duties were. oh, sigh. Angela.

OMG! IT'S LIIIINT!!! Ok, seriously, who cares. ? ! Angela.

Wow, that sucks! I wouldn't order there unless over the phone and got a tracking #. I can't believe they offer a method of shipping with no tracking, isn't that odd? I've never ordered anything via internet that was not traceable. I, too, would call my cred company and dispute the charge. Angela.

Hey, Alana, I was just wondering if you feel you got anything good out of the Philosophy class. I am considering taking that or Logic as a required course for graduation from my ongoing 3-year endeavor at 2-year college. I'll send some vibes to you, Alana. I'm frightened of my finals,too. They are a few weeks away yet, but they will be cumulative and studying for them will be very difficult for me. So, vibes for Angela's calc & chem finals, too, k? ! :) Angela.

Damnit! It was bound to happen eventually Cheers! Angela.

I wish I didn't have anything to worry about. Not to have to worry about paying bills, getting to work, making something of myself. Just do what/when I please. :) Angela.

found these on another forum. . . 7 reasons not to mess with a child A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, " What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him". *** A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute." *** A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill." *** One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?" Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white." The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?" *** The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small voice at the back of the room rang out,"And there's the teacher, She's dead. *** A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.." "Yes," the class said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty." *** The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching." Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.

http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=714480;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread ^ thread about same thing:) I don't get nervous, but lots of people do and it is apparently quite normal. Angela.

I have heard of lots of people getting sick from the shot. It is, afterall, a flu virus from x years ago in small doses, correct? I think i'll pass on that. I usually get the flu or something like it in January. But, still, I refuse to get the shot. Besides, this year will be different. :D Angela.

If I didn't start jumping in July, I would be debt free by now. But, now that I spend every dime jumping, I never foresee paying off my debt. *sigh*. . However, as bad as it sounds, I would not have it any other way. I will just pay my minimum and use my $$ for jump tickets, because I CAN! lol! And, I too thought that it wouldn't be so bad. 1300$ for AFF, I can pay that off in time. But, then there came the addiction... more jumps, gear, more jumps. So, it is much more expensive than I initially let myself believe. Go jump now, pay (or don't) later! Angela.

Don't know if she posted about it, but I didn't see a post out there. She completed her A license requirements this last weekend in Sebastian. It seems like just yesterday that... haha. j/k CONGRADS to you Dagny! Now you need to travel the state and play at all the DZs! Oh, that and save for gear. :D Hope to see you soon in Pahokee:) Angela.

Cool. Hope to see you there, then. I've been there every weekend. I'm sure your in-laws will have a blast no matter where they go. But, an especially awesome time in Pahokee:D take care. Angela.

Hi, Ian. There is a new dz that opened up in Labelle called Skydive Southwest Florida. I haven't been there, but there is some info in the places to jump forum, that's about 40-50 miles from Cape Coral. Clewiston is about 72mi from there, also never been there, tho. Ron P from Skydive Tecumseh in Michigan just opened up a new dz in Pahokee called Skydive Southbeach. It is about 100 miles from Cape Coral. The people there are great, the vibe is just awesome. The lift tickets are 18$ to 13500 (tho sometimes we get extra alti:D ), there's more info on their website skydivesouthbeach.com and in the places to jump forum. I have seen them do a few tandems and there are students as well. It seems to be mostly freeflyers there right now:) Just opened a few weeks ago. No food on site yet, but awesome chow in the area. Good luck on your quest. Let us know where you end up. Angela.

ROFL!! Angela.

WOW! Super hot chick she is!! You're one lucky guy to have a wife like that, and a beer fridge for your garage. I bet you are the envy of every man. Angela.

Man, that SUCKS! Not everyone can keep their eyes on their gear every second. You need to make the DZO aware of exactly what happened, let him know how uncomfortable this made you. Maybe he'll at least talk to them, at best ask them not to come back. Angela.

mmmm, yummmy. I made a chocolate mousse pie the other day that is so very sinful. I used this recipe, but made my own chocolate cookie crumb crust:D yummy. . . Why downsize your canopy when you can upsize yourself? lol! Angela.

Relax and visualize your dive. Your instructors will do lots of dirtdiving with you, you'll do practice pulls on the ground, check your jms, alti checks, etc. While you're in the plane, close your eyes, relax, and go back over what you're supposed to accomplish. Envision yourself checking your alti, checking with jms for instruction, doing your practice pulls. Just do what the instructors tell you and pull at pull time and you'll be fine:) Have fun! Angela.
