Hey everyone. Yesterday, my brother was driving over to my house and his truck met a bird in mid-flight. You can see what happened in the 4 pictures below. Ouch!!! http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Cool post, Richard. I would have to say that the reason I skydive is because I just like the feeling of jumping out, playing in the sky, and flying my canopy around. It is freedom beyond the definition. There is no other feeling like it in the world. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

I bet that was hers to begin with. She just added a hole and a straw to the top. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

You wont use the picture in the MUG SHOT area. If you want a profile picture, you need to send one to me and I'll crop it down for you and send it back. Then, you go to your profile page, browse your computer for the file, and then upload it. Send me a picture if you want it on your profile. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Along with having how many new posts there are, I liked having the page numbers for each thread and the option to show ALL of them. I know you can do that when you get into the thread, but the is one extra click. If you can do it, great. If not, no biggie.

Hey DiverDriver....the whole [ur l = link here] title here [/ url] thing has been changed. Check out the "mark up help page" to see the new way. It took me awhile to figure it out. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Hey folks....this is for all of you newer people or those who have decided you are now brave enough to reveal your ugly mug. MUG SHOTS: if you want your picture in the dropzone members section labeled MUG SHOTS, you need to email me your picture at lwren@woh.rr.com. The picture needs to be a relatively large picture and be a good shot of your face. I will crop it down and enter it into the Mug Shots section. PROFILE PICTURE: if you want a picture next to your name when you post and in your profile, you need to email me any picture you want. It does not need to be very big since they are pretty small to begin with. I will crop the picture for you and email it back to you and you need to save it to your computer, go to your profile, upload it to dropzone.com and that is it! Let me know if you need any help.

There is a new picture in the MUG SHOTS section: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/gallery/imageFolio.cgi?action=view&link=Dropzone_Members/Mug_Shots&image=jessica.jpg&img=&tt= Check it out. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Here's one you will probably like: --------------------------------------- A military officer in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a Non-Commissioned Officer below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The NCO below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude." "You must be an NCO" said the balloonist. "I am," replied the NCO, "How did you know?" "Well," answered the officer, "everything you told me is, technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far." The NCO below responded, "You must be an Officer." "I am," replied the officer, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the NCO, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault." http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Aw, man. Even those pictures are gone. Kevin, does this mean there are new ones on the way? http://www.brandonandlaura.com

Hey everyone. Laura and I took a trip to Tennessee for one week with my family. It was a really good time and we did a LOT of stuff. We did white water rafting, ATVing, horseback riding, and much more. There are 108 pictures on the website that you can look at. Just check out the NEWS page. On another note, the site looks great! When I left, the forums had been totally down for almost a day and I didn't see it until I got back. Looks good.

Hey Andy....glad to hear that you didn't get hurt worse! Damn propblasts, eh? Well, good luck finding something to do for the next two months. Work? Nah. http://www.brandonandlaura.com

When you guys talk about software, it is much easier to get those programs for cheap if you are a student or teacher. My buddy got his Final Cut Pro 2 for over half off retail. Also, I was looking at PowerBooks and Final Cut Pro 3 which retails for $999. I could get the full version for $299 just for being a teacher. Most of those software companies offer software for students at a great price if you check around enough. Call the manufactorer and/or go to your school bookshop and ask around.

If you are looking for wild party, Richmond was pretty crazy. You should see the videos for it! JumpinDuo.com...news, pictures, skydiving and links.

We keep ours in our gearbags sitting in the kitchen on some chairs. You can always see them. It calms me.

I cannot stand to watch baseball because of all of the "downtime". I guess since I played soccer in middle school, high school and some college, I can somewhat relate to whats going on during the game. Thinking about plays, thinking about strategy, etc. With baseball or NASCAR or whatever...I have only seen them as a spectator or on TV and it is just so slow (baseball) or repetitious (NASCAR). Oh, and I'm not one of those hardcore soccer people who are like, "Soccer is the "real" football and American football sucks!". I LOVE NFL and college football. I don't know anything about it (teams/players), but watching it is simply awesome.

I dont know a lot about Apples, but it seems like with anything, when you buy something, it is outdated within a year. And, you always with you'd had bought the next level up or whatever. I would say if they are going to get her the best, go with it. You won't have to worry about wishing you had something more...especially if some software comes out that requires the higher power.

Ummm........ok. JumpinDuo.com...news, pictures, skydiving and links.

Where will they let me? Sign me up, Slappie! ...only to those who don't/can't appreciate it.

I dont think that anyone cheated them out of it. They are all in on it and get big payoffs. The US couldn't stop fouling which really screwed them. For like 15 minutes at the end, there were yellow cards flying! And the reason its not big in the US is that we dont appreciate "real" sport. Some people here think NASCAR is a sport! Bwhahah!! /me runs and hides. JumpinDuo.com...news, pictures, skydiving and links.

Well, USA lost to Germany 1-0. Why in the hell would the US take out Brian McBride with about 20 or so minutes left. He wins all their balls in the middle and is a great forward. The World Cup is rigged. I'm certain. JumpinDuo.com...news, pictures, skydiving and links.

Richmond for me, too! JumpinDuo.com...news, pictures, skydiving and links.

Hey....here is a link to Andrea Miller's website that SkyMama couldn't get to work...HERE. WARNING......not work safe.

I was there for 4 days last year and it was really cool. When I was there, they had a Grand Caravan, 2 Super Otters (from SDC), Mullin's and then they were to have the DC-3 and Chopper from SDC as well, but I must have missed those. Check it out!

I would take the FULL ATP course from some nice school in Florida (Embry-Riddle?) and then I would take a brand new C182 with a seamless door mod and seats that could fold down for jumpers. Could use it to jump and then for travel. (I don't think I need to mention paying off the house, school loans, and rigs, right? ) I think you should buy Sangiro 100 years of the best server service in the world. Unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage and the best performance. Oh yeah!
