  1. Good luck! The condition should clear up in 5 or 6 years. This reminds me why I don't teach JR High band anymore. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  2. It sounds like a PC Anywhere or VNC type host service. With those someone can connect to your machine and run your desktop, transfer files and such. THere should be a right click option to end /disable/ close. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  3. Music geek from early grade school, band geek from the 5th grade. Played brass, percussion, sang in the chiors. Ended up getting a degree in Music ( concentration in composition) taught/freelanced for 25 years. Decided people had sufferred for my art long enough so I went into computers. I went from band geek to network geek. Haven't touched my ax since 1998. I still have some of my music history books around in case I can't sleep.

  6. As another newbie to the sport I can relate to what you are going through. It seems like the body is still screaming "YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT!?" This past weekend I went up for my AFF2 and was fine on the plane other than my normal motion sickness problem with flying in general which wasn't as bad as it usually is.. We talked through the dive, I visualized the jump. After a hard landing ( flared late landed on my butt in the middle of the peas) I thought it went well. During debrief I found out that I forgot to do my practice touches and hardly moved at all during the turn sequence. I had to repeat the level. During the wait for the next load I started getting really nervous but knew that I had to go again. On the ride up my mouth was dry, I was sweating like nobody's business and the stomach was doing some freestyle of it's own. Once we got in the door everything went great to include my first stand up landing. Stick with it, you can do this thing. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  7. Hmmm, sex while in freefall.... 60 seconds of freefall......what do you do with the other 45 seconds? _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  8. I agree that the better shape you are in, coupled with good training and practice will result in fewer injuries. My doctor says I have the body of a 23 year old and if the 23 year old sees what I have done to it He'll be pissed. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  9. Just read an interesting article on Cross country (http://www.afn.org/skydive/sta/dta/cross.txt). Does anyone have experience with a cross country and know af a place to do such a thing? Since I am still very "wet behind the ears" I probably won't be doing it soon but it intrigues me, I love the float down and this just sounds immensely cool. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  10. And easter was originally a pagan ritual ( oster I think) _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  11. 8/10 but I think the other 2 were just killers that didn't get caught _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  12. For fun I used to play the lotto every morning as I stopped for my morning coffee. One morning I was running late and didn't stop. My numbers ( that I didn't play) hit in order. I think it was 20mil. I have not played since then. Think of all the jump tickets I could have gotten _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

  15. Good point, Here's one from Skydive Carolina. http://www.skydivecarolina.com/images/photos/dz/dz-h270-l3m-v1.jpg _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  16. Just wondering. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  17. Stuffed Peppers work well for me. Use your normal recipe. I also make a lasagna in one, but I roll the noodles into pinwheels and stand them vertically for ease of serving. If I can find my rice pudding recipe I will post. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  18. I finally found a chair that rolls real smooth. WIth one push off I can get from one end of the datacenter to the other. If I put the seat all the way up, I can kind of get a little arch going and then some spin action. It's kind of like computer room horizontal free fly ( but the recepionist on the other side of the glass looks at me really strange) _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

  20. I did my first Tandem jump at another DZ and then Skydive Carolina was recommended ot me bu two friends. From the initial phone call they let me know what to expect and how much it would cost. I did my second tandem there then started their AFF program. The classroom training was excellent, the practical training seemed thorough ( do it till it's right) and the staff always made time to answer questions no matter how busy they were( even if I asked as they were passing by on the their way to load). They made sure I was safe and tried to keep me relaxed. ALthough I don't have a lot of experience with other DZs, I am confident they will take good care of me and make sure I am ready. As I was watching a load land the owner was taking an experienced diver to task about safety and a "questionable " approach over the hangar. They are all about their customers.
  21. Wow that means I owe 3 _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

  23. So did the Ohio Players and being from the south, I know of no 1 syllable words.

  24. Would you consider building it .....oh.......let's say .....in central NC? Not that I can help contribute but it would be closer to me _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
